'Com'

"Speech"

"Telepathy"

There was no way in hell Skyfall wanted to have THE TALK with Starscream. He was acting like she was some teen just hitting her sexual peak. Cringing at the mere thought of having this spark to spark talk with the Decepticon Seeker made her tanks churn, "Starscream with all due respect I don't think this is really necessary…"

Holding up a silver claw at her Starscream glanced at Skyfall with a smile quite unlike his character, might she add, for it was sincere and not at all laced with a hidden agenda. "Tut tut Skyfall as a Seeker you must be cautious and never too careful in the acts of the berth room, I want to see that we don't have any…complications along the way."

Skyfall noticed that Starscream was leading them along a familiar path; they were headed for the Medbay. Tilting her helm in confusion Skyfall crossed her arms with a huff, "Complications? Starscream my lord I don't quite catch your meaning, and what does this have to do with me being a Seeker?"

Opening the doors to the Medbay Starscream gasped and turned to look at her slowly as if the slender femme just turned into a Dinobot, "You really don't know?" Skyfall shook her helm, and he placed a servo to his spark, "Didn't your Carrier or Sire tell you?"

"No…tell me what?" 'Ok now this is really starting to get weird..' Skyfall thought as she walked further into the Medbay. It had been some time since she has stepped foot into this room, after all she kept busy in the mines.

"It seems that I will have to inform you, but first…KNOCKOUT get your good for nothing aft in here!" Skyfall cringed at the leaders high pitched vocalizer, with an annoyed look Knockout sashayed into the Medbay with a sweep of his servo and a over dramatic bow.

"Your Lordship, how may I be of assistance?"

"Scan Skyfall I need to see her coding."

The said lifted a brow ridge at the silver seeker next to her, then looked to the medic who in turn have her a confused glance as well. "As you wish~" Skyfall stood still for the scan feeling annoyed yet intrigued, what could Starscream have to tell her that she doesn't already know. The life of a Fanfiction connoisseur has let her explore all the types of…ahem…the nasty possible for Cybertronians.

When the scan was finished Starscream took the data pad from Knockout and looked it over with a frown then looked up at Skyfall in shock. "It seems we DO have a problem."

"Well?" Skyfall said looking at Starscream then to the red mech, "Don't leave me out of the loop cherry bomb."

"This is none of his concern, as a matter of fact your dismissed Knockout." Starscream hissed at the smaller bot. With a flick of his servo Knockout grumbled and walked out of the Medbay. Skyfall looked at the closing door then to Starscream half expecting him to just out with this source of data. Tho she had a inkling that she knew what he was going to say and it didn't sit right with her, no way in hell was she wanting to hear this. "It appears you are a carrier Skyfall, a rare as carriers are I am surprised to find it is Seeker as well. No need to worry, as I am one to, thusly I have the hampering chip to save you the trouble of sparking with some random mech or femme. We are a dying race Skyfall but we cannot bring a Sparkling in this world during war." Ultimately Skyfall was shocked at how Starscream handled the situation. She opened her spark chamber to him as he pulled the chip from sub space."But."

'Oh Primus here it comes…' Skyfall raised a brow at her superior as the small chip was being placed in her spark chamber.

"I HIGHLY recommend that you keep this information from your lover."

"If your implying that I am fragging Soundwave you're wrong."

Starscream laughed out loud his wings flicking in amusement, "You could have fooled me. A word of warning to you, I've never heard of Soundwave showing interest...no... intimate interest in any bot before you. He maybe more possessive of you than you may know. Tread lightly Skyfall." With that he left the Seeker female in the cold medbay.

"WHAT THE FUCK," Skyfall placed a servo to her chassis feeling her spark pulsing within its chamber. This day was just too weird. Shaking her helm she tried to focus on the mission at hand, Dawnbreaker and her need to get back to their own dimension. Skyfall didn't need to worry about getting sparked.

'That was one of the weirdest conversations I have ever overheard.' Dawnbreaker chirped through their bond, making Skyfall tense up in shock. Had her guard be so low that she'd allow her spark sister to slip in undetected? 'So, what does that mean? You can be a mommy?'

Skyfall groaned and walked into the hall, 'Apparently so…fucking fuck sticks I can't believe that just happened.'

'Look on the bright side you can have little Optimus's running around!'

Sky tripped and stumbled into the wall wheezing from constricted air vents, 'DAWN!' The Seeker femme could feel Dawnbreaker's mirth through their bond, embarrassment flooded her systems and she covered her face with her servos. 'You almost gave me a spark attack!'

'Good cause it's payback for you being a little shit to me about him all the time!'

'Oh you vindictive Autobutt.'

'I can just see you strolling up to him, grabbing his chest plate and pulling him down to your level. Looking him square in the optics and saying "we gonna' frick" and BAM! Sparkling's every where.'

Skyfall screeched and clawed the wall in horror her wigs jolting. 'Dawnsoap who has corrupted you?!'

'You have! Now stop being so melodramatic, your causing a scene!' Dawnbreaker scolded the eldest of the two.

'I am not!…oh fuck sticks.' Skyfall looked over at Skyquake and Breakdown who stood in the hall watching their superior writhe and claw the wall with confused ruby and yellow optics. Freezing on the spot she straitened up and glared at them her EM field fluttered in embarrassment. "Not one word about this or I'll tear out your sparks myself." Both large mechs nodded simultaneously.

A few days later Skyfall newly equipped with a code scrambler and a seriously bad attitude stormed the halls of the Nemesis, if Cybertronians could PMS this is what was gong down. Or that she was avidly avoiding the TIC like a child instead of facing the overly possessive and almost stalkerish mech.

Punching coordinates into the Ground Bridge she took a quick glance around the bay, there was just the regular Drones milling about their business. 'Good.' Flicking the switch Skyfall flexed her wings, when the massive portal opened she jumped through it and transformed, tires screeched on the asphalt upon impact. It felt exhilarating to drive in her vehicle mode after so long, the way her tires hugged the road with each tight corner and the feeling of the wind being cut by her aerodynamic form.

A brightly lit city glowed in the night like a beacon in her rear views, driving into the forest she followed the dark road till she came upon a line of cars readied for a race. Her engine revved and she prepped her outer speakers, blaring Cherry Bomb by The Runaways Skyfall pulled up next to Knockout.

She felt the Medics EM fields jolt in sock then surprised recognition, his engine let out a low purr and in turn she revved hers with the loud whistle of the jet engines inside. The humans looked to the grey and orange Lamborghini in shock and awe.

'I must admit, tho, it's not my kind of paint job but you definitely pull it off Commander Skyfall. And that frame…you are a sight to behold. I now see why you were so keen to race me.'

The driver of a tricked out muscle car leaned out his window and looked at the two sports cars, "Not from around here? European designs?" When neither Decepticon gave their answer the human got mad, with a wicked glint in his eye he spoke again, "Suure are pretty…to pretty." Using his ring he carved a long gouge on Knockouts pristine red paint job. Skyfall cringed at the sound and for the guy who ultimately sealed his fate.

'I ask to seek full revenge on this vile flesh bag.' Knockout com linked to the silent Lamborghini.

With a loud rev Skyfall flashed her neons, 'He assaulted a Decepticon I don't see why not, after all that jackass needs to be taught a lesson. One he wont soon forget.' When the guy calling the race flashed the light she eased on the pedal starting out slow, lagging behind the racers right next to Knockout. After all you need to give your opponent a false sense of security, let them think they're winning. When the lead vehicle was a good distance ahead of the others they sprang easily flying past the two overly flamboyant rides and right to the lead driver. Skyfall watched Knockout nudge his rear bumper causing the driver to falter on the next turn, the red Aston Martin finding the opening t-boned the black Impala making the said car fly over the guard rails and over the cliff.

Rolling to a stop at the edge of the cliff Knockout spoke aloud, "You scratch my paint, I scratch yours."

Skyfall chuckled and sped away with Knockout on her heels, they were out long enough and this little adventure left her in a better mood.

Once back on the Nemesis Skyfall followed Knockout into the Medbay were Megatron's body was being held. The Aston Martin waltzed in holding up his damaged door, "Can you believe what some skin job did to me? Ugh!" Exasperated and annoyed Knockout walked past Starscream who glared at him.

"You have been street racing amongst the humans again haven't you?!" Starscream sounded like he was at his wits end with Knockouts constant escapes to the human cites to race. Skyfall smirked and stood next to Starscream her servos crossed.

"I'm not only an automobile, I'm an automobile enthusiast."

"I do strive to run a tight ship, Knockout. I would strongly suggest you seek my permission next time you decide to disappear on one of your little…jaunts." Starscream growled.

"No worries heir commandant. After all I was with Skyfall."

Skyfall raised a brow at the pissed expression on Starscreams face from the little jab, "It is Lord to you, and I will talk with Skyfall later."

"Only if Megatron takes a nose dive~"

Standing back next to Breakdown, Skyfall watched this with amusement.

Starscream walked right up to Knockout and growled, "The day our Master emerges from stasis, I will graciously relinquish the title. But I believe that outcome is unlikely. Something to do with the quality of medical care around here."

Skyfall bristled her wings lifted in anger, 'OH HELL NO!' she almost tore Starscream a new one but Breakdown placed a large servo to her shoulder. She paused and looked at the large blue mech, he shook his helm at her and she straitened up. Breakdown was right Starscream wasn't worth it.

"So continue buffing. We do want Megatron looking his best for the memorial." With that the silver Seeker left the Medbay.

Knockout raised his servo and flicked it at the retreating form in a rude gesture, "Buff this!"

Skyfall burst into laughter, "You sure told him Knockout. So, how is Lord Megatron?"

The red sports car looked to the SIC with a smirk, "With your help he has vastly changed for the better. Starscream will be eating his words when our master awakens." They all chuckled and began to work.

Dawnbreaker was walking into the rec room when she over heard Raf talking with Jack about street racing. Her cyan optics brightened and she walked over right away, "Street racing? Like Fast and Furious type street racing?"

"I-I uh yeah how do you..never mind" Jack stuttered, "You can't tell Optimus about this, ok!"

Holding up her servos she smiled, "Your secret is safe with me Jack, so whats the problem?"

"Jack wants to borrow Bumblebee for the race tonight." Raf said looking at his guardian who beeped in confirmation.

"I would have asked you Dawn but your too high profile for this race." Jack stated calmly and Miko nodded.

"Yeah bro your like high end sports car and well Jasper doesn't have high end anything. People might talk." Miko said looking at the sports car with a smile.

Dawnbreaker shrugged and nodded, "I see your point."

"But what if Optimus found out?" the smaller boy said sheepishly and Jack groaned and Bee chirped and beeped in thought.

"But, Raf, he's gotta' get the girl." Miko said but Raf gave her a skeptical look, "And beat the bully."

"Well…"

"C'mon Raf. Just this once?" Jack pleaded and the deal was struck.

Dawnbreaker was waiting by the kids when Bee called in for back up, her engine revved and she followed Arcee and Bulkhead to Jack and Bee's location. When Jack said that the school bully Vince was kidnapped by Knockout she shrugged lightly, "Lets wait a little bit let the kid learn a lesson then save his pathetic hide."

"Oh well tough break for Vince."

"Dawnbreaker! Bulkhead!" Jack gasped at the two Autobots.

"What? I hear the guy's a jerk." Bulkhead retorted.

"No argument there, but the guy is also innocent. Vince doesn't deserve to get crushed by cons." Jack said valiantly pointing to the Autobots.

Arcee looked deep in thought only to transform shortly after, "Hop on."

"Sweet a car chase and rescue!" Dawnbreaker transformed and sped forward with vigor. They followed the road till they found Knockout turn towards a storage facility, transforming they walked right into an obvious trap. Knockout flashed his lights at them and Breakdown burst through one of the buildings jumping into the fight. Dawnbreaker ducked from a punch sent her way, in turn she lunged forward into the large chassis of the Deception and pushed him back.

"Dawnbreaker sweet spark, it's great to see you again! Did you miss me?" Breakdown chuckled and kicked her square in the chest sending the smaller bot flying.

Getting on to her knees she growled, "Like sand in my undercarriage."

"And it's not her you need to be paying attention to!" Bulkhead said as he used his weight to throw a hard hitting punch with his wreaking ball into the blue Decepticons face plate. Bee beeped and whirled as he threw punches of his own only to be thrown back onto Dawnbreaker who yelped in surprise at the heavy weight on her now prone form.

Breakdown stalked up to them ready to inflict more damage when the lights flickered, Bulkhead tore a lamppost out of the ground a swung it at the Decepticon like a bat. Breakdown went flying into the storage unit next to them with a grunt and an explosion of rubble. With the heavy weight Decepticon defeated they quickly transformed to go after Arcee who followed Knockout during the fight.

What Dawnbreaker saw when they caught up to Arcee was Optimus standing with Vince unconscious in his servo and a stunned Knockout starring with his mouth open at the approaching Autobots. As if it just clicked about his obvious loss he transformed and drove off into the dessert. Dawnbreaker looked at his door just laying on the desert floor, shocked she looked to Optimus. He must have ripped it off the Decepticon to get to the boy.

"Optimus this was my fault." Jack said from the driver seat of Bumblebee.

"We must get this boy to safety immediately." Optimus snapped angrily, "Explanations can come later…from all of you." He glared at each Autobot individually.

Dawnbreaker looked at the desert floor in shame, she felt horrible. Like a kid accused of stealing.

'That made me feel bad…and I wasn't even a part of this.' Skyfall shuddered through their bond.

'I feel like I disappointed a parent.'

'I'd call Optimus Daddy any day.'

'This is so not a good time.'

'Your right I'm sorry…oh here comes Knockout and Breakdown..bye Dawn be safe!'

"Knockout was I not CLEAR?! You have defied my orders yet again!" Starscream snarled stomping up the smaller bot pointing a sharp servo at him. Breakdown took a step back in fear of what the unpredictable Decepticon would do.

"My mistake Commander Starscream. But I've learned my lesson and paid the price." Knockout said clutching his arm where his door should have rested.

Unknown to him but Starscream was shaking with rage, the leader got in his face and roared, "It is LORD! And you have paid when I say you have paid." Flicking out one wickedly sharp claw he pressed it to Knockouts chassis. "Don't worry. Your punishment shall be merely…cosmetic."

Skyfall watched Knockouts optics widen in horror as he tried to move away, "No, not the finish! Anything but the finish!" Knockout pleaded as Starscream descended upon him, Breakdowns optics closed with fear as the loud screeching of metal on metal reverberated in the command center along with Knockouts screams. The Second in Command turned away from the mutilation her orange optics falling on a emotionless visor, 'Shit'

'Soundwave: You've been avoiding me.'
