Shadow
Hanging out with Starscream and the guys had a strange effect on me. I was becoming awfully, dare I say it, motherly. It was an ancient ancestry that spoke to me now, and Starscream was alone and helpless. Call it a mother's instinct if you want, even though I am not his mother. Praise Primus for that!
At any rate, it took about four months, but when Camelio and Chamaeleon's sparks were finally fully developed, they were ready to be removed so their actual bodies could develop outside of me, like Chamaeleon had said. Prowl did the procedure himself, Ratchet had trained him to do so before he died. Alexis was there to supervise in case something went wrong, which was a relief, even though I was knocked out.
In the meantime, all Lockdown and I could do was wait. It'd take even longer for the little bodies to develop, but the boys were safer now. They could still talk to us, which was, again, a relief. I always talked to them as a pastime. Starscream often accompanied me to these conversations and the boys actually started talking to him too, mostly Cameliopardalus.
I know their names are unusual, but I loved astrology growing up here. My mother had a book about constellations, stars, and the mythology that surrounded each one. My favorite star was Sirius and I wanted to name one of the boys Sirius, but no other star has a name similar to that. I noticed how Chamaeleon and Cameliopardalus sounded alike, so I named them after that constellation and star.
It was around that time that Starscream started talking again. He told me about what happened to the others of his kind. He had killed Megatron in a fight since they both were captured by Masters. This one went by the name of Smith, and his cruelties were just as bad as James Hall.
"No one really knows what happened to Blitzwing, he just kinda took off one day and I haven't seen him since. Probably somewhere in Germany acting like a mechanized, schizophrenic Hitler or something. As for Blackarachnia and Lugnut, well, Lugnut was killed when he tried to escape. It still amazes me how they were able to tranquilize him and such. As for Blackarachnia, last I saw her she got sold, much against my will".
"You liked her?" I asked.
EWWWW! That was Chamaeleon.
Starscream's got a girlfriend! Camelio.
"So what? There's nothing wrong with liking an ex-Autobot!".
"No, there isn't, but remember, they're still little, so they don't exactly get it" I replied.
Just then Peter came in, almost breathless. "Hey guys, there's something, or someone, you might wanna see outside".
"Who?" I asked.
"Uh, he's kinda knocked out. We can't determine if he's dead or something".
"Alright, we'll be out in a minute. Let's go. We'll be back later, boys. Happy recharge!" I walked with Starscream following suit.
A/N: So, who do you think it is? Give you hint, he's kinda loveable when you see behind his "Stupidness". Drop me a review.
