The Nemisis, 3rd POV
Jack sat on the desk, next to the now broken datapad.
Waiting.
His hands were clentched into fists at his sides, and for some reason he felt so...betrayed.
But he guessed that was why they were called DECEPTicons.
The door hissed open and in walked the 'con leader himself. He looked around when he saw Jack was not on the berth (Which was usually where anyone could find him reading), and then saw the teen on the desk.
"Jack? What are you doing-"
"You lied."
Megatron's optics fluttered in surprise.
"Lied? What are you talking about?"
Jack simply reched to his side and tapped the broken datapad. Understanding flashed across Megatron's features.
Jack slowly stood, crossing his arms as he glared at the war lord.
"You lied! This whole time that you and everyone have been nice, you were planing on turning me against my friends!"
"Jack-"
"I can't believe I actually started to care about you guys! But this whole time you've been manipulating me, just waiting for the perfect chance to control me!"
"That was befo-"
"How could I have been so stupid? You are the frickin' leader of the Decepticons! How could I actually think you cared the slightest about me!"
There was a sound of static and Megatrons holoform appeared. The man aproached the raging teen...
Megatron gave a sound of surprise as Jack swung at him and sent him skiding a few feet back. Jack was stronger then Megatron had thought.
The raven haired teen pounced, sending the holoform to the ground, Jack landed on top and began punching at Megatron. The 'con blocked the punches before using his own strength to reverse their position so he was on top. He then, after grabing both wrists in one hand, deactivated the metal collar.
Jack stopped immediately as the collar slipped away from his neck. He was panting heavily after his angry rant and attack on the 'con, and his eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Jack. Listen to me. That plan was created before I met you face-to-face, before I began to learn more about you. After I truely began to understand you, I decided to never put those plans into action. Everyone on this ship see's you now as part of our little...family, you could call it. I highly doubt that Soundwave would allow me to harm you, you now couldn't be closer even if you were part of his trine."
Megatron then stood, pulling Jack to his feet.
"How...How do I know you arn't lying to me?"
Megatron was silent for a moment, then the holoform fizzled away and the real Megatron moved, lifting Jack in his palm.
"I can't force you to believe me, it is your choice if you will believe me or not."
Jack looked up at Megatron, pondering what Megatron had said, and then asked himself if he trusted the 'con...
And he did.
Jack slowly nodded, running a hand across Megatrons cold, metal thumb.
"I...I believe you."
Megatron chuckled, grinning slightly.
"Thank you. Now, onto the reason I came."
Jack looked up at Megatron, head tilted in confusion and brows furrowed.
"I thought you were done with, well, whatever it is you do everyday." Jack said, earning another chuckle and a smirk.
"No, I'm not close to being done in the slightest. I have another gift for you."
Jack's eyes narrowed.
"Your last gift involved turning me into a techno-organic."
"True, but this gift won't be painful." Megatron said, and Jack swore he saw the 'con flinch.
Jack stood on the metal palm, watching as Megatron held up his other hand.
sitting ontop of a single metal finger, was a short, black metal chain with a singlem silver dog tag. And engraved in Cybertronian runes...
Was his name.
Clear as day, it read Jack in the twisting, curling runes.
He knew by now that some, not all holoforms had two.
"I'm sure by now you've noticed how certain holoforms have these. They are given only to those I deam worthy of respect. I knew you wouldn't prefer to have the one with the Decepticon insignia, but even with only one, you will be respected by all on the Nemisis."
Jack gulped when he realized how special, how rare this was.
Megatron gently slipped the chain and tag into Jacks hand, and the teen slowly reached up and did the clasp. The dog tag fell to rest just bellow his jugular, as though it were a choker almost.
Megatron smiled slightly, touching a finger to the dog tag.
"Perfect." He murmured, Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really, having to kidnap a human is perfect to satisfy your curiosity is 'perfect'?"
"Perhaps almost perfect then."
