The Nemisis, Jack's POV

When I woke up the next day, I found myself laying on Megatrons palm, his thumb curled over me.

I strugled for a few minutes, trying to free myself, but I only suceeded in one thing.

Waking Megatron up.

His optics flickered, and he slowly looked down at where I was trying to get out from under his heavy metal thumb. He then chuckled before he lifted the tumb off of me, and I crawled off his hand to sit on the berth.

I slowly stretched my arms upward, wincing as my shoulder gave a paticularly loud pop. I then remembered what had happend.

I had been nearly raped by Arachnid, saved by Megatron, and he'd taught me a little about Cybertronian runes. I'd clung on to each word he said on the subject, and managed to remember quite a few, to both his and my own surprise. I'd fallen asleep soon after the little 'lesson' was finished.

Megatron slowly sat up, pulling me out of my thoughts. I watched him as he slowly stood, careful not to accidently squash me. He then left, only to return with another tray laden with food.

It again, was a simple meal. A bowl of cereal, an apple, and a glass of water.

I ate slowly while Megatron picked up another datapad and began to read it in silence. When I had eaten all the cereal and drank all the water, I picked up the apple, begining on it while I went over to the edge of the berth and clambered down. I went to the datapad from the day before, begining to study it again and memorize the runes.

Hey, who knows? It could come in handy.

I was about half way through the datapad and finished with my apple when I was picked up.

For probably the millionth time.

I gave a frustrated huff as I was lifted high, but the he laid his hand flat to let me sit, and lifted up the datapad he held slightly.

I looked at him with confusion, and he chuckled.

"You seemed so interested in learning Cybertronian writing, or was I mistaken?" he asked humorously.

I hesitantly nodded. I liked the twisting and turning runes, very much, actually.

"Why are you wasting time teaching me how to read it?" I asked, and he roared with laughter. His body wracked with the laughter, jostling me slightly so that I had to hold onto his thumb.

"I believe you can handle it, and if you can read Cybertronian, then you will have something to occupy tourself with other than roaming the ship."

I looked at him with surprise, he wanted me to hae a way to enjoy my time on the Nemisis?

Megatron then pointed at the first word on the datapad.

The lesson began.

Later, 3rd POV

Megatron had left his quarters at some point in the middle of the day, locking Jack in the room after, shockingly, apoligizing for having to make him stay in the room.

Jack now was pouring over datapads, identifying the words he now knew. He actually found it addictive, trying to desipher the twisting runes.

He found out he could nearly read a few datapads completely. And he was completely engrossed when the door hissed open. Jack jumped in surprsise when a tray was set down next to him. He looked up and saw Soundwaves retreating back before the door closed and locked again.

The tray held his dinner, Jack realized. he looked out the window.

He'd been at it for almost five hours!

Jack pulled the tray over and moved from his laying position to a sitting one. Putting the tray on his lap and continuing to read the datapad.

Some of the information was interesting, Jack even leanred bits and pieces of how some of the Nemisis worked, while other pieces were dull, but he read them all the same. If only to refresh his memory.

When Megatron came back into his quarters, it was already well into the night. Jack was asleep on the berth, datapads spread around him. Megatron felt a strange sensation at the sight, and actually smiled.

Silently moving forward, he removed the datapads and picked up the raven haired teen, who only mumbled but didn't wake up.

Megatron inspected the boy carefully, taking in every detail of Jack. He slowly lowered his head, touching his forehead to Jack's. He unconciously purred as a pleasant sensation spread where he and the teen touched.

Megatron the softly, carefully placed Jack on the berth, caressing the boy's face before laying on the berth himself.

Cradling Jack in his hand, he curled his finger gently around him to keep him warm before falling into stasis.

I'm going to try to get another chap out later, so I hope you like this! Could you please tell me if you think Jack should be turned into a 'bot? Or is that overused? Luv u all!
