Leaning back in a chair, red optics gazing at the screen before him, Megatron tapped his fingers on the arm rest, his claws clicking with each tap. He had found a data file on Starscreams computer while the Seeker was gone on patrol with Thundercracker and Skywarp and with his curiosity piqued, he had opened it.
To see a slideshow of pictures from a better time had surprised him into making a full copy for himself.
Now he was sitting before his personal computer, gazing at a picture that he hadn't known had been taken. Starscream was standing next to him, datapad in hand, gazing down at it as he pointed out to the horizon, planning out the memorial wall for warriors of old.
"Frag" The word rumbled out of him as he rubbed at his face with one hand. He could remember how he felt planning that wall, Optimus entrusting him with the building as the old one was copied. It had been a wonderful feeling, one of the few times he had felt that way. "Starscream, you hide so much now, my old friend."
Reaching out, he changed the picture to the last of the set, wondering what Starscream felt every time he looked at the picture of he and Optimus standing together. It was a picture of another life, another time.
Another place that was dead and gone.
"What a mess this has become, brother," Megatron said to his quiet room, feeling his spark jerk in pain. "My plan on fixing our government got lost in the badness, pain and anger, didn't it? Instead of fixing the hurt, I made it worse."
His spark throbbed once more as he closed his eyes and leant back, his head dropping back. He had hurt so many, the pictures he had found showing him that much, but he had no idea on how to fix it.
