A/N: Yet again I thank all of my reviewers new and old. Umm to answer a few more questions yes, Kit and Starscream will team up as partners. Another question was whether or not Kit would become evil with Starscream and that's a no. Also I know Starscream isn't hiding very well and in truth he's not hiding. The navy knows he's there and he knows they know, but they choose not to do anything because he isn't making a move to attack. He just sits there and leaves on occasion.

Kit cursed her nocturnal habits again as she awoke at 11:30 at night. Sometimes she wished that she could sleep through the night but there was no helping it now. It came from when she was younger her dog always did things in the middle of the night that woke her up, and it never helped that the slightest movement or sound woke her up. Looking over her shoulder she stared at the picture of her old beagle, Hunter. At times like this she missed the old dog. Looking at the pictures next to it she remembered when she first got the dog. He had been so clumsy and whiney, but as time went on he became her best friend and hunting partner. Kit was no stranger to using a gun not because of her naval experiences but because her father taught her how to hunt. The beagle had been a gift to her for her birthday and they trained him to hunt rabbits. What she missed most about home was the deep woods behind her house. The great oaks that grew throughout the forest. Shaking her head she put those memories behind her, because they wouldn't do any good to remember because it would lead to more depressing topics.

Getting up she quickly showered and dressed. Before leaving her room she brushed out her long dark hair and tied it up in a tight ponytail. With a sigh she went up on the flight deck. The transformer was sitting in the normal spot. She moved towards him with care knowing now for sure what he was. Even though she suspected that if he wanted to kill her he could have many times before. Especially what happened that morning. He could have easily taken her out along side of those enemy jets. She stopped in front of the jet.

"Are you going to talk with me now?" she asked some hope flaring in her voice.

The transformer remained quiet. That sparked something in her off. "All right that's it! You save my ass and you're not going to even talk to me!" she snarled loudly knowing if she started screaming people would come. "You're a conceited arrogant ass and no wonder you're group lost. I guess you're the biggest turkey of them all considering you're the only one left standing." (Yeah I know the word Chicken sounds better but I like using turkey instead of chicken.)

She turned her back on him and began to walk away. The sound of metal shifting and grating made her smirk. Taunting people always worked wonders on getting them to respond to her. Before she could even react she was in his grasp and staring face to face with his glowing red eyes. She couldn't help the shiver of something akin to fear running down her back but then on the flip side she knew that he wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to save her to only kill her now.

"You heard me bastard," she snapped. "What's the point of saving me if you're going to keep your distance?"

"I do not have to explain myself to you human," he growled softly.

"Well actually you do."

"How's that?"

"Because… What is your name anyway?"

It was a total 180 degree turn in personality and topic of conversation. Starscream was probably wondering how she did it. Sometimes though she wondered herself how she did it. Thought it was often best that she didn't question herself like that. Because often times she didn't know why she did most things the way she did. So she figured it was best to leave those thoughts alone.

"I am called Starscream."

"Cool name. I like it."

If he had eyebrows she was sure that they'd be raised in confusion. She fought the urge to laugh out right at that thought in particular. "Now why did you save me?"

"What makes you think I saved you?"

"Um those awesome combat tactics. I'd kill to be able to fly like that. Besides I think you saved me because you didn't harm any of my team just the other guys."

He set her down and turned his back on her. Starscream was looking to the stars. Kit studied him for a moment before looking to the stars herself wondering what he was searching for in their glittering paths. She wondered if he was searching for others of his kind. The other group that protected humans was out there she was sure of it but what of the Decepticons. Her curiosity was burning her conscious.

"Are others like you coming here?" she asked quietly.

"Yes, they are coming."

Kit wondered if they were searching for something, something so important to them that they would do anything to get it even if it meant helping a lowly human to get what they wanted. Wondering again what was so special that he was here on this carrier hiding from humans and yet talking to her. She was sure if he had a choice he wouldn't be here right at that moment. If Starscream had wanted to destroy humanity he could easily take out an entire fleet of ships. Of course she was putting a lot of faith in him at that point even though she knew that humans were capable of taking him down.

"Are you looking for something?"

"If I was it has nothing to do with you."

"Then why stay? You've been here ever since I got here, and it just took me awhile to realize it was you. Why are you here Decepticon?"

He remained silent and it was an oppressive silence and she didn't understand why it was getting on her nerves. Maybe it was the burning curiosity to know more about this creature that had saved her and hadn't given her a proper reason for doing what he did. There was something that was getting to her. Was there something special about her that he sought her out? There was a traitorous thought ringing through her head telling her she didn't want him to save her because he had to. She didn't have many friends so she wanted as many of them as she could get. Then from out of the blue she remembered her dream.

"Starscream, what was the name of the other jet looking Decepticon?"

"Megatron," he spat with venom.

From the way he said the other robot's name she was sure there was some great hatred between the two. It was probably some leadership squabble. She was so lost in thought that she soon found herself dangling in his grasp. His hand around her neck, with enough pressure to hurt but not enough to cut off the supply of oxygen to her lungs. "What do you know about Megatron?"

"I saw him fighting five years ago, and then I dream about him and you."

He dropped her quickly. Kit came to her feet rubbing her neck to try and sooth the burning. Starscream turned his back to her and stared up at the stars again. For someone that was trying to pull off the bad ass attitude he wasn't doing a good job of it. She expected to have to fight with him for a lot longer than she had to, to get him to talk with her.

"Why does it matter? They're just dreams," she asked cautiously.

"What happens in these dreams?"

"You are fighting against this Megatron and you loose every time."

Kit wondering what was getting the Decepticon so riled up about her dreams. She wondered what disturbed him the most the thought of Megatron rising again or the fact that he loses to him every time. At that point she considered her leadership theory was the right one. She expected an explosive outburst about how much better he was than Megatron and how he could run circles around the bigger robot.

"How long have you been having these dreams?"

His question threw her for a moment before she thought about how long she had those dreams.

"I would have it once or twice a month but ever since I stepped on this ship I've had it almost every night. Do you think it means something?"

"Go back to bed, human."

She stepped back as he quickly transformed. Without questioning anything he took off making a roaring wind rush past her. Her mind was awash with confusion. Something was up that the big robot wasn't telling her. Running her fingers through her hair she sighed in confusion and frustration. She wanted to snap at him for calling her human instead of her name but she guessed it was his way of distancing himself from her to make sure that he couldn't get attached to her in anyway but the sense of a bodyguard or something like that. Of course that lead her to wonder what was so special about her that this Decepticon came to this carrier to seek her out. She didn't think she was anything special, just a human that could pilot an F-18. He was probably looking for someone else. Of course she wouldn't get any answers unless Starscream told her them. Her curiosity was spiked though. The pilot wanted to learn more about this Decepticon that insisted upon calling her human instead of her own name.

Shaking her head she returned to her room and sat at her desk and pulled out her sketch book. Kit vaguely remembered some of the sketches that she did. Flipping to the front page she looked over her sketches. Some of them were at least six months old. The last one she had done was of Starscream in his jet state. Getting up she curled up on her side and tried to fall back to sleep a million questions burning in her mind, and hoping that Starscream would be able to answer them without killing her first.
