'Com'

"Speech"

"Telepathy"


"Primus!" Starscream yelped upon impact. Shoving the wounded Drone off of his person from where they landed in a crumpled heap. Starscream pushed himself back up to his pedes, red optics glared at the bright and equally pissed orange ones of the resident Medic. "How dare you assault me?!"

"Primus can't help you for being an aft head," Skyfall huffed and crossed her arms optics narrowing,it's been a long day and all she wanted to do was read in the quietness of her berth room. "What do you want now Screamer?"

Composing himself the Decepticon Leader dusted off his armor and tried to look dignified, "Makeshift has not sent the coordinates to the Autobot base yet."

"Do you believe he has failed?" Skyfall stared at the Decepticon Seeker with a frown, knowing full well the reason for the silence on Makeshifts side.

"No..I will give him time, for now I want you to check on our GUEST."

With a nod Skyfall made a quick escape, "Skyquake follow me and bring that Drone with you I need to finish up on him."

"Skyquake?" Starscream looked horrified and shocked to see the large Decepticon flyer limp past him and pick up the Drone like it was a feather not casting Starscream a single glance. "Skyfall what is the meaning of this?! I did not order you to save his pathetic hide!"

"No you didn't but my JOB is to be a medic and that means fixing those who are wounded." Skyfall only paused briefly to cast Starscream a glare, the lean silver mech looked away and growled.

"Keep him out of my way I don't care what you do as long as my orders are first, is that understood?"

"Yes my Lord." Walking out of the control room she glanced at Soundwave who looked from Starscream to Skyfall, taking one step closer to her he paused and walked up to his console. The strange actions of the TIC had made Skyfall more alert to the silent mech. Ever since their confrontation in the Medbay she hasn't let the Raptor out of her sight and sensors. "Skyquake take the Combatacon to the Medbay for further examination, then meet me in the prisoners holding cell."

"Understood." Skyquake turned the next corner and was gone. Her steps down the hall were light taps compared to the loud bangs of Skyquake's unsteady gait, making a mental note to give the large green Decepticon another scan.

Sky made her way to the prisoner holding cells, excitement growing on her in waves of electricity. Placing a clawed servo on the pad she watched the doors slide open revealing a chained and hanging form of the small white Wrecker. Skyfall scanned the Autobot. Nothing major just a few dents and burns from the Energon prods. "Well looks like I'm not needed here at all. Congratulations Wheeljack your not broken." Keeping a safe distance from the Autobot she smiled and snapped her claws with a gaps, "Oh! I almost forgot!" This caused the Autobot to look up at her slowly with a light glare and a look of confusion.

"What do you want to torture me for information your not gona' get?" Wheeljack sneered. "At least your someting more pleasant to look at than Starscream."

Laughing Skyfall put her servos on her hips with a wink, "I'm not here for information sweet spark, I have a little something-something for an Autobot I know." She sub-spaced a black metal collar with an organic metal infused soft pink bow and shiny golden bell, it wouldn't fit an organic animal of this planet it looked more to a cybertronian size.

A weird look was casted her way by untrusting blue optics, "A collar?"

"Cute and smart!" Skyfall snickered giving Wheeljack another wink, she smiled at the white sports car. In one swift movement she snapped the collar around Wheeljack's neck faster than the Mech could comprehend. "Now other than being horribly humiliating and coded to only allow two bots to take it off, this little baby has a secret gift for my Autobot friend that you are going to deliver for me."

"Your sick," Wheeljack spat at the tall Femme wanting to tear the contraption off his neck, it felt strange.

Skyfall began to giggle, "It's just a collar no need to get in a tizzy Wheeljack. Here," With a click of a button the collar turned invisible. Turning on her heel she walked out of the room with a casual flick of her wrist. "Enjoy your stay at Casa de Deception."

Large uneven pede falls made Skyfall slow and turn her helm slightly to Skyquake. Red optics looked at her in caution, "You have something on your processor."

Skyfall's wings lifted in defense it was true she had a lot on her mind right now but Skyquake had no right to know, "It is none of your concern, come I need to look at your leg I believe one of the struts is damaged because of the tumble you and Soundwave took." Turning a corner she led them into the Medbay. The wounded Drone stiffened at the sight of her but remained on one of the examination tables.

A deep hum that almost resembled a growl came from the flyer, "Soundwave holds you in high regards."

Pointing to the other examining table she went to the computer pulling up some case files and new updates for calls in need of her assistance. "He should I'm his superior in rank." Came her mumbled reply as she lowered her visor and began to fix the wiring and snapped strut on Skyquake's leg.

A rumbling laughter made Skyfall look up at the Decepticon with a raised brow ridge. "Your not wrong ma'am. One of your stature and stand in the ranks of this great army must be thought highly of, I myself am no different in beliefs. I am grateful and indebted to you for saving my life."

"As you should be." She stood back with a huff, "There you should be fine if there is anymore issues with the leg then come back, till then I suggest you recharge to further along the healing process." Turning away from the large green warrior she looked at the Drone. "You lay back this is going to take a while." With a flick of the wrist her servo transformed into a welder.

The commotion in the holding cell made Skyfall look up slightly from her work, 'Dawnbreaker honey how is your guest?'

'You knew he was a Decepticon!' Dawn snapped back, Sky sighed and shook her helm.

'Sweet spark I have seen this show more times than you've read the Mortal Instruments. Of course I knew it was Makeshift but don't worry you're going to have the real Jackie soon.' Completing the last weld Skyfall looked up at the ceiling of the Medbay with a frown the commotion atop the Nemesis was at it's high point. Going into the ships main surveillance system Skyfall watched the Combatacons get their aft's handed to them by Wheeljack the same to Starscream. The coward of a leader hiding behind the large group with a roll of her optics she watched as Starscream was knocked down by the Autobot Wrecker. The Drone that she was working on leaned over the table to watch the carnage.

"Shouldn't we help them?"

"No the Autobot is already long gone," Sky said as she watched the white sports car run into the ground bridge portal. 'Package delivered.'

'Package delivered'

Dawnbreaker stepped back as Wheeljack plowed into the Decepticon impostor. The two identical bots began to duke it out with swords cutting into armor. The skirmish itself wasn't very long but the outcome was funny as she watched the Decepticon Drones sprint away from the lobed body of Makeshift. The grey and yellow sports car was elated when the party began, Miko providing some lit tunes that Jack, Raph, and Bumblebee danced to. The annoyance on Ratchets face made Dawn snicker.

Optimus was with Bulkhead and Wheeljack their discussion pulling the attention of the entire base.

"Wait you're leaving? Why?" Miko asked walking up to the group guitar in hand.

Wheeljack looked at the small human with a sad expression but Bulkhead gave her an answer, "Well because some bots never change haha."

"Wheeljack know that you'll always have a haven here," Optimus gave the small bot a nod of approval.

Bulkhead clapped the smaller bot on the back, "Jackie never stays, but he always comes back."

Following the goodbye committee Dawnbreaker stood by Wheeljack's ship looking it over with curiosity.

"There is room for two," Wheeljack said making Dawnbreaker look at the white sports car, their optics met and Dawn began to laugh.

"As fun as that sounds my place is on Earth were I am closer to a friend."

The smile on Wheeljack's face disappeared and was replaced with horror, "The Con doctor."

Face palming Dawnbreaker felt embarrassment eat at her spark. "Oh Primus what did she do to you?"

It was Wheeljack's turn to let the energon flow to his face plates with a blue glow. "Uh…" The warrior pointed to his neck where a cat collar materialized with a soft ding of a bell.

"Jackie what is that?" Bulkhead asked in shock.

"Whoa dude why are you wearing a cat collar!" Miko snickered taking out her flip phone to snap a pick of this.

Dawnbreaker looked at the tag with curiosity, her name written clearly in cursive was right there on the bell. "Skyfall…why?" At the tone of her voice the collar beeped and a key pad was revealed. "No…it better not…"

"She said that you would know the pass code. Would you get this thing off of me I rather not have it one while I kick some Con tailpipe," Wheeljack said impatiently feeling uncomfortable in such close proximity to the new Autobot femme knowing her strange and dangerous friendship with the Decepticon doctor.

Tapping in the four digit code she cursed, "9-4-4-8." The collar gave out a delighted series of bleeps and it unclasped and fell into her servos. A side compartment opened and a cassette tape fell into her palm, written in marker was 'Dawn's mixtape'. "Aw she made me a mixtape!" smiling brightly Dawn quickly attached the small white rectangle to her sound system and waited, the gentle plucks of a guitar echoed off the rocks. And Dawnbreaker gasped her servos went to her mouth as coolant pooled at her optics.

A hundred days have made me older,

since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder,

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

Im here without you baby

But your still on my lonely mind
