Just a quick note: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS except MAYBE Lorelei and Firestorm. Thanks! Please read/review. This is my first attempt at a fanfic here, so be gentle, okay.
Floating.
That was all Starscream remembered as he slowly came back to consciousness. A void of inky blackness not even dotted with stars was all around him. It was odd and made him feel strange to say the least...floating like that. It was quite disorienting.
Memories came drifting back.
The time he had spent on Earth. The unexpected party the Autobot kids had thrown for him. Betraying them later. His time on that weird planet. But most of the memories were of Firestorm. The feel of her lips, her ivory hair, and that one night they had together.
Was he a fool to leave her like that?
'Starscream,' a voice called out.
"What? Who's there?"
Before his eyes a young woman garbed in a deep blue with wings of white appeared. Her hair was long and pale like Firestorm's, and she had a kind face that brought back vivid memories of his lover.
'I am called Lorelei, Starscream. I am the one who brought you here," she said kindly, smiling gently.
"What do you want with me?"
"Why, nothing evil. I want you to come with me and see some things."
With a wave of her pale hand, Lorelei and Starscream were hovering above the planet Cybertron once more.
"How did you do that?!" exclaimed Starscream, glaring at her with almost annoyance.
"I have certain powers you don't know about. But suffice it to say that I am Firestorm's creator, and I want her to be happy," replied Lorelei patiently. There was a quiet moment while Starscream absorbed this.
"The ones below cannot see or hear us, so please don't bother trying to speak with them," said Lorelei and they drifted down closer. Before them appeared a group of Transformers talking together.
"I don't believe it! It's Galvatron and Optimus Prime!"
Lorelei smiled. Sure enough, the two rivals were sitting and talking strategy together. Nearby waited Hotshot, Jetfire, Blur, Cyclonus, Demolisher and Tidalwave.
"You see, Starscream, your sacrifice brought the once warring sides together to battle Unicron. In your last moments, you did something worth remembering," Lorelei said, allowing him to watch another moment before levitating them upward once again.
"However, there are two among them who are saddened by your loss," explained Lorelei, and brought them to rest inside the Autobot ship. Sitting on a bed was a young girl with brown hair. She looked like she had been crying.
"Alexis..."
"Yes. She misses you a great deal. She was one of the only ones who cared for you so deeply. And there is one other..."
The scene shifted once more to a young Autobot, sitting by herself on a rock. She looked just as sad...just as lost and alone.
"Firestorm."
Even the hardened Decepticon had to take a moment to compose himself before looking at her once again. The sight of her in pain, alone, was enough to make Starscream's heart crack.
"Oh, my dear Firestorm. I'm so sorry for what I've done to you. You deserve someone better than I am. Someone who wouldn't leave you like I did," he said bitterly.
"No, Starscream. She wasn't wrong in her choice. Deep in her heart, Firestorm knows why you did what you did. But it doesn't make it any easier for her to accept."
There was a moment while he absorbed this.
"I've come to grant you a wish, Starscream. All you have to do is tell me what you want it to be, and I shall grant it to you."
A cliffhanger ending! Where do you want it to go? Lemme know!
