Soooooo that was lie. Sorry about that! I'll stop saying stuff like that because I'm VERY inconsistent. And by the way, Zane is my OC. I have no idea if Silas has any family. I have not abandoned this story! Never!

Three days.

Three days.

Three days of absolutely nothing.

Highshot was just about ready to lose her processor.

Everyday Zane would just stare at her, and she sat in the corner awkwardly. It was a bit unnerving.

"You know", she said on the third day, "if you're just going to stare at me than why don't you actually talk?"

He tapped the glass, gestured to his ears, and shrugged. She banged the back of her helm against the wall in aggravation.

I swear to Primus if you don't do something I'm gonna flip out! She thought.

"You seem aggravated", Zane said on the speaker.

"No duh Sherlock!" she exclaimed. She had learned that human saying when she was observing a group of young humans at an education center. She didn't know what it meant at first but after hearing it a few more times she figured it out. It was a sarcastic response, something she was familiar with.

"Oh, you know that saying?" he said.

"I spent a lot of time spying on people", Highshot replied, "less than you."

"Hm. Feisty", he said, "I could use that."

"For what?" she snapped.

"I know that the war is over", he said, "I could help you restart it and defeat the Autobots."

"I don't think you've noticed but I'm neutral", she replied, "I never wanted to be part of it. And you'd have to talk to Starscream on that. Even though he's an idiot."

"Why are you neutral?"

She fell silent and glared down at the floor. "You wouldn't understand", she muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing", she scoffed.

He looked at her curiously.

"What do you really want from me?" she asked.

"An alliance", he said.

"Not a chance", she said, "I may not be with the good guys but I won't stand for something evil."

What does he want?! she thought angrily.

"What makes you think I'm evil?" he asked.

"Hmm, let's see", she said, "you captured me, chained me, muzzled me, and now you're trying to get information by pestering me with questions."

"I understand why you're aggravated", he said, "you're trapped and you like to run. You run away from your problems and hope they don't follow you. You ran away from the war because the ones you cared about were killed. Specifically Wildfire."

She transformed and leaped at the glass, digging her claws into the wall and slashing at where Zane still stood. She dropped down and leaped again to bounce of the glass, leaving a crack. Her anger burned her from the inside out. She leaped at where she had come into the room and gripped a panel with her fangs and pulled. It bent and she slashed underneath at the masked soldiers behind the wall, but all she got was painful shock to her chest. She leaped back and looked up to glare at Zane with a menacing grin. She felt as if she had Wildfire's ability and was smoking from her vents. They stared at each other for several minutes.

Now you're going to die she thought I don't care what Prime says, you will pay for that.
