"Oh Steeljaw, did you have a good time?" Fixit asked as Steeljaw entered the room. Steeljaw just growls viciously. With a small yelp Fixit rolled out of the room, Steeljaw looks like he's ready to kill somebot.

"What happened?" Strongarm asked in concern.

"The others put me through a test to see if I would get turned on and seduce another femme!" He says through a growl.

"What? What do you mean get seduced by another femme? What did they do?"

"They got Metalsound to dance and thought I would get turned on by her movements."

She didn't need to ask if he was turned on by the other femme's movements, just seeing him standing here was proof enough, "How did you get back so fast?"

"Soundwave Ground Bridged me and Thunderhoof out of there."

"And where are the others?"

"Not sure didn't see, and really don't care right now."

"I don't blame you," she replied softly, upset at the others that they had planned this.

Metalsound was on the hunt for whoever was responsible for the setup. With a growl, she flew past a small cluster of trees.

"Is she gone?" Grimlock asked as he peeked through the trees.

"I believe so," Drift replied.

"It is a good thing that we managed to get away in time," Slipstream added.

"Yes it is, Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus should be ashamed of themselves for doing something like that," Drift says a bit ticked at the whole event.

"I agree, I just hope the others are ok," Slipstream added.

"Knowing the others I'm sure they're just fine," Grimlock assured the Mini-Con.

"Yes, I'm sure," Jetstorm added in.

Sideswipe struggled to stay with Arcee and Wheeljack, "Can someone explain what just happened back there? Why did she zap us?" The red mech asked.

"Technically she zapped you, I thought you were supposed to be fast," Wheeljack smirked.

"Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus had to put a test on Steeljaw and used Metalsound as the target, I guess you can say, and Metalsound wasn't too happy about that. I can't say that I blame her," Arcee explains.

"You'd think they would know not to tick her off, or use her like that," Sideswipe put in.

"Yes, you would think, and Steeljaw too. He was mighty ticked."

"Yes, he looked like he was ready to kill a bot," Wheeljack adds agreeing with his mate.

"I'm surprised that Soundwave got the two of them out and not the rest of us," Sideswipe muttered.

"He seems to have a closer connection to them being fellow 'Cons and all."

"I wonder if he's watching right now," the speedster looked to the sky, "I'd rather face him than face Metalsound or Steeljaw."

"There's no telling where he is."

"Primus, what was she so mad about?" Bulkhead asked as he ran with Bumblebee and Magnus.

"Magnus and I used her for a test on Steeljaw to see if he could control himself," Bumblebee explains.

"Didn't think she would be that mad," Magnus adds.

"She doesn't like being used like that, especially if it's something like that," the old construction worker growled, "What were you two even thinking?"

"Just wanted to be sure he wouldn't have sex with another femme during his heating cycle, wanted to be sure he could control himself," Magnus states.

"First of all, Wolf-Cons are loyal and would never betray their mate nor those they consider their pack. And second, Metalsound has every right to be upset, same with Steeljaw. I know you're worried about Strongarm, I'm worried too, but try to have some faith in him. She's going to be upset too you know."

"Yeah, I suppose she will be a bit pissed."

"Let's just hope both Metalsound and Steeljaw can calm down soon. I didn't even see where Steeljaw went, for all we know he might be after us too," Bumblebee added.

Steeljaw was in the room pacing back and forth still very upset, "Why won't they just let me be!?" He growls out.

Strongarm watched her mate in worry, she wasn't sure how to comfort him, "Steeljaw, why don't you sit with me," she calmly suggests. He suddenly feels a wave of love being sent into his spark from Strongarm through their bond after she said that and he tries to calm himself down, he walks over and sits down next to her. Taking his servo in hers she hopes that he would calm down enough, "Feel a little better?" She asked as she sent another wave of love to him.

"I'm starting to," he replies still growling a bit.

She pulled him closer to her, resting his helm on her chest, "I'm sorry for how they acted."

He wrapped his arms around her as he drapes his tail over her waist and just lay there in her arms listening to her spark pulse. He eventually starts calming down as Strongarm absentmindedly started rubbing behind his ears, calming down herself. She was still upset at her father for doing this to Steeljaw, not once but twice. He should be ashamed of himself. She thought in disappointment.

"That feels good."

"I'm glad, I'm starting to feel a little better myself," she chuckled softly.

"That makes two of us then."

Strongarm smiled as she continued to rub his ears. Steeljaw falls asleep to the rubbing behind his ears by his mate, this he could get used to, he loves it when she does this.

Metalsound landed near a tree with a hollowed trunk, it was big enough for her to curl up to sleep for the night. She couldn't believe that they used her like that, all to see if she could seduce Steeljaw. The very thought of it made her snarl in disgust, yes she liked Steeljaw but not like that. She had her mate and he had his, and she knew they both would never betray their mate. Why couldn't the others see that? With a sparkbroken sigh, she laid her helm on her paws, whining softly before trying to get some sleep.

"Metalsound! Metalsound where are you!?" Thunderhoof calls out as he walks through the woods looking for her.

The wolf Predacon's ear twitch hearing her name being called in the distance. She didn't want to see anyone at the moment, the only one she really wanted was her mate. Staying in her spot she didn't notice Laserbeak was only a few feet in front of her, the Mini-Con left to find Thunderhoof.

Thunderhoof gets closer to where she is, "Come out Metalsound!" He then remembered their bond. Metalsound, where are you?

In a tree. She replied sadly, she felt her optics stinging. Am I just a pawn? She asked as it started to rain.

I'm sure that's not what they were aiming for, they probably weren't thinking straight.

They should have known better. Did Ultra Magnus not see what Steeljaw did to his own arm when we were fighting those she-demons? She hissed.

Probably wasn't paying attention.

You're not hurt, are you?

No, I'm fine.

Crawling out from the tree she let the rain wash over her. I'm glad. I'm sorry for the freakout. She said sadly over the bond.

Thunderhoof gets to where she is and looks up. I'm right below you, Metalsound.

Looking down at him she felt her spark breaking, leaping down from the tree she landed beside him. She was glad that it was raining, it helped mask her tears but she was sure that he could feel it through their bond. Thunderhoof kneels down and hugs her, "It's ok Metalsound," he could feel his spark breaking along with hers.

She rested her helm on his shoulder, letting the tears fall. Opening her mouth she played the music quietly by a group called Red, the song, Hold Me Now.

The others finally got together in the scrapyard and were greeted by Fixit, "What happened? Steeljaw was very ticked when he got back to the room."

"Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee thought it was a good idea to see how Steeljaw would react to a femme while he is in heat. They were proven otherwise and they managed to tick off Metalsound as well," Bulkhead replied.

"Why would you so - to - do that? Don't you know it's bad to provoke a Wolf-Con during his heat cycle? You're lucky he didn't kill you. Steeljaw is dangerous enough as it is but he's even more dangerous now that he's in heat."

"Neither he nor Metalsound is around here, are they?" Sideswipe asks as he cautiously looks around for either of the Wolf-Cons.

"No, Steeljaw is in the gloom-broom-room with Strongarm and I don't know where Metalsound is."

"You owe all four of them an apology," Arcee tells Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee thinking of Strongarm and Thunderhoof.

"Where is Thunderhoof?" Drift asked after a quick search of the compound.

"Probably out looking for Metalsound," Bumblebee replies.

"We should all turn in for the night, we can look for them in the morning," Ultra Magnus said quietly, he had been trying to get a response from Strongarm, but so far he wasn't having any luck. They all parted to their quarters to go to bed.
