Firewing woke with a groan, optics flickering slightly as her exhaustion started catching up to her. She shook her helm, trying to disperse the static surrounding her vision. She hadn't recharged well since that fateful day that Megatron had fallen into stasis. That was threes weeks ago, three weeks since she had taken charge of the Decepticons. Everyday was slightly easier than the last, though having Starscream as a loyal second, assisting her every step of the way, had been a great help. With his assistance, she had fallen into a routine.
Though everyday, she started her routine with a visit to the med-bay, which is where she found herself now. Looking down at her mate, she stroked his helm slightly, before leaning down to kiss his helm softly. "I miss you more and more everyday, my love. Please return to me" she said, before turning to leave, tears running down her faceplates.

Firewing stood in her position in the command centre. She didn't bother looking around as the mechs in the command centre went about their daily routine. As much as she tried to, she couldn't keep her processors focused; all she could think about was Megatron. She wanted nothing more than to have him back with her, his arms wrapped tightly around her, whispering sweetly into her audios.
She nearly jumped out of her armour when she felt a servo on her shoulder. "My apologies my lady" Soundwave said, having realised he had spooked the femme.
"It's fine Soundwave" she started, taking a datapad he offered her. "My processor was… Elsewhere" she said, looking over the datapad. She took in every detail of his report, sighing as she took note. "Our energon storage is desperately low" she whispered, more to herself than anyone else. "Starscream" she called.
"Yes ma'am" the seeker answered, stepping towards the femme, bowing slightly.
The femme turned to the seeker, nodding in return, before speaking. "Put together a team, find us some energon" she said, before handing the datapad back to Soundwave. "We are going to need more if we are to survive" the seeker before her nodded respectfully before turning. "And Starscream" the seeker stopped, looking back at the femme. "Come back safe" the seeker smiled as he made his way to the door. Firewing turned back to the monitors, watching as the seekers prepared for their mission on the runway, and prayed to Primus for their safe return.

Firewing decided to go to the med-bay during her break, and now she sat in the chair next to her mate, her servo holding his tenderly, talking to the silver mech. "… and your son has started kicking. Think my tanks are bruised" she chuckled as she remembered the first time Firefall had kicked. "He's strong… Like his sire" she said, rubbing her thumb over his servo. "I just wish you were here" she said, bringing his servo to her lips. She sighed as she heard someone clear their intakes. She set the silver servo back on the berth, before standing. "I will be back my love" she said, leaning down to kiss his helm. She turned away from the berth, "what is it Soundwave?" she asked, as she approached the telepath.
"Seekers returned. Mission successful" he said, handing the femme a datapad.
Firewing looked over the report, taking note of the energon that had been added to their vault. "Thank you Soundwave" she started, as the two worked out of the med-bay. "This will be enough, for now"

Firewing sat in the rec room, sipping at one of the cubes of energon in front of her, Hook having told her she now requires at least two every time she refuels. She sighed as she read through the reports for today, taking mental notes along the way. She gasped as she felt Firefall kick again, putting the datapad down, she placed a servo on her abdomen. She smiled as the sparkling kicked again, before rolling around, she loved the sensation but hated the pain.
"Hey 'Wing" Cobalt said as he approached the seeker. "You ok?" he asked, sitting next to the seeker.
Firewing smiled as she turned to the blue mech. "I'm fine Cobalt" she said, her servo still sitting over her gestation tank. "Firefall is kicking. Do you wanna feel?" she asked, holding her servo out to him.
Cobalt hesitated for a moment, before placing his servo into hers. He allowed the femme to draw his servo to her abdomen, above her gestation tank. "Oh primus" he whispered as he felt a small kick beneath his servo. He couldn't help the smile that graced his faceplates as he felt another kick. "That's amazing".

Firewing; once again, found herself sitting in the chair next to Megatrons prone form, her frame leant over Megatron berth, her servo on his chestplates, feeling the spark pulse strongly beneath it. "Your son is getting more active. I'm sure he's going to rupture my tanks soon" she said slowly, as she yawned. "I miss you so much" she said tiredly, as her helm dropped to the berth, exhaustion finally catching up to her.
This is how Hook found her when he came to check Megatrons vitals. He approached the berth slowly and quietly not wanting to wake the femme, as he could tell she hadn't recharged well lately and was happy to see that recharge had finally found her. "Starscream I require your assistance in the med-bay", he commed, as he smiled down at his two leaders.
At didn't take long for the seeker to arrive, marching straight into the med-bay. "What is it Hook?" he asked, before being shushed by the purple medic.
"Firewing has fallen into recharge, and I just don't have the spark to wake her" he said, as he led the seeker to the femme. "I believe that she will rest more comfortably if she were to recharge in her own berth" he said.
"I understand" the seeker said, as he approached the recharging femme. He gently lifted her from the chair, into his arms, ensuring her wings were tucked safely out of the way, before starting the journey towards the femmes quarters. He felt her shift a little in his arms, but otherwise she did not wake. He smiled as he heard the femme moan Megatrons name… Even in recharge, she thought about the silver mech.
