Chapter 2 Returning

Here is chapter 2 everyone! Wow…thanks to everyone who reviewed! I thought this was going to bomb like my last one based on a roleplay! XD But, yes thank you so very much! The reviews were absolutely wonderful to read! I hope this is up to everyone's expectations…and I will warn you now, I think most of the things happen over the course of a few days! Very fast…but what can you do? Anyways, enough rambling, on with the story!

Chapter 2 Returning

Megatron frowned at Starscream's request. "That would depend." He replied as he pulled back his head slightly. "Are you going to be a traitor and try to kill me again?"

In spite of all the thoughts running through his head about the pros to being a traitor, Starscream bit his bottom lip and shook his head. He would remain loyal as long as things were in his favor, he decided in that moment.

Megatron nodded. "Very well than." He replied. "I need at least one competent soldier in my army if we are ever to find all of the Allspark fragments." He added.

Starscream felt himself tense up. He didn't want to give up his fragment of the Allspark. In fact, he wanted the whole Allspark so that he could lead the Decepticons. Was it worth lying to Megatron or would it be better to confess? Megatron chuckled as he stood up, brushing his hand ever so slightly against Starscream's arm.

"Follow if you wish." He stated before he transformed and took to the skies. "But betray me once more, Starscream, and it will be your last." He added to himself in a soft snarl. Starscream smiled weakly before he leapt into the air, transformed, and followed Megatron. Megatron chuckled to himself. "Very well." He stated softly. He opened a channel to the Decepticon base. "Lugnut, prepare another personal quarters. We have another soldier joining our ranks."

Starscream sighed as he heard the rather disgusting reply of "yes oh glorious leader". He really didn't like Lugnut. He was a miserable excuse for a warrior, always kissing the ground that Megatron walked on, and trying to keep Megatron entertained, even though it was plainly obvious that the giant silver mech was not impressed.

"Do you remember Lugnut?" Megatron chuckled.

"How could I forget?!" The Seeker groaned.

"You just didn't like that he was right about my existence." Megatron teased, not meaning to sound like he was flirting.

"Yeah…that might have something to do with it." The Air Commander laughed.

Megatron smiled to himself before he dropped back to fly beside Starscream. He placed his left wing and helicopter blades above the Seeker's wing, hovering high enough that the wing was just to say not touching.

"Now, you wouldn't want to mutilate me wing would you my Lord?" Starscream asked nervously as he dropped back slightly.

"That didn't even cross my mind." Megatron replied as he fell back beside Starscream and placed his wing back into the previous position. 'Leave it.' He thought.

Starscream quickly realized that he wasn't in any danger from the larger mech. He slid slightly closer to Megatron, leaving his wing further underneath Megatron's, trusting him for some reason beyond his understanding. Megatron smiled to himself. He dipped his left wing down slightly, brushing Starscream's for the briefest moment, before bringing it back up. Starscream grinned; he never in his wildest dreams would have thought that this would happen! Megatron was thinking similar to Starscream; he never thought that he would ever be doing this, and not with Starscream of all mechs.

Starscream pulled back and transformed, hovering in the air and facing Megatron. After all, you could show a lot more emotion in robot mode. Megatron stopped, turned around to face Starscream, before he transformed.

"Is there a problem, Starscream?" He asked, a little angry that Starscream had pulled away.

"Not at all Sire!" The Seeker replied as he flew over to his leader's side.

"Then why did you transform?" He asked. His spark started to whirl happily as he stared down at Starscream, the tempo increasing as his spark called out to Starscream.

"I was bored." Starscream replied blankly.

Megatron narrowed his optics in an insulted manner. "I see." He replied coldly. 'Bored?' He thought bitterly. 'You think I'm boring?!'

"It's better to see your face." The Seeker cooed. "Being in alt. mode is boring, don't you agree?"

Megatron did his best to hide his shock. "I suppose." He replied. "Although, alt. modes make it easier to hide something from others." He added.

"Like what? If you don't mind me asking, sir?" Starscream asked.

Megatron shrugged. "If you find something amusing that you shouldn't find amusing, then you can hide your smirk." He replied. "Although," he added with a slight grin at the Seeker, "this is far more interesting." He stated with a soft coo.

Starscream smiled as he drew a little closer to Megatron. He wanted to see just how close Megatron would allow him to get before he snapped and told him to get lost. Then he would know his boundary and wouldn't cross it again.

Megatron chuckled before he transformed. "Save that for somewhere you can't be seen by thousands of optics." He stated as he blasted off back towards the base.

Starscream gave a defeated sigh and followed. He was sure that Megatron would have let him get closer. Who cared if the humans could see? It's not like they would understand what was happening. He would have liked to get close enough to finalize a belief that Megatron's spark was whirling faster when he was near the giant.

Megatron landed in the base and headed to his quarters. "Follow if you wish, Starscream." He stated to the Seeker.

Starscream followed the Decepticon leader silently. The idea of having a base underground was ingenious! It would mask all energy signatures so the Autobots couldn't find them. He had to give Megatron credit; this was one of his better ideas. He, himself, probably would have overlooked this idea due to his hatred of being away from the sky. Megatron obviously looked past a Seeker's natural hatred for secluded, underground places in order to keep their secret safe.

Megatron stopped outside the door to his room. He punched in the code, careful not to let Starscream see it, just in case. He turned back to the Seeker as his door slid open. "Are you coming in Starscream?" He asked, a knowing smile on his face.

Starscream nodded and returned the smile before he entered the room. Megatron's grinned widened as he closed the door behind him as he followed Starscream. This was either going to turn out well, or blow up in their faces.

Author's note: Cliffy! Again…this story will probably end up being full of them. Anyways, probably more OOC-ness but its fun. So, please leave me a review commenting on this chapter. What do you think will happen?
