Chapter 1
Soundwave slowly woke to the sound of voices around him, two of which he didn't recognize.
"...his condition Ratchet?"
'Ratchet? Who is Ratchet?' He thought. He decided to feign unconsciousness so he could listen in.
"Well, most of his injuries are internal. He has evidence of ongoing physical and...sexual...abuse. I'm more worried about his mental..." The medic paused, his internal alarm telling him his patient had awoken.
He opened his optics, knowing they knew he had awoken. He watched a medic he assumed was this Ratchet that Optimus was talking to, as he checked his vitals. He then watched him turn to Optimus and spoke again.
"Optimus, I know you want to speak to him so I recommend you to keep it short. His vitals are ok for now but they could turn quickly..."
"Understood old friend."
Optimus nodded once then looked at Knockout, the Decepticons medic, who had come with Soundwave. Before Optimus could say anything, Ratchet grabbed Knockout by the arm and started dragging him towards what Soundwave assumed was his office.
"I got him, we are going to speak. I need to know Soundwave's medical history."
Both Knockout and Soundwave flinched, hearing him say that. Optimus, seeing this, made a mental note to ask Soundwave or Knockout about it later. They all then jumped, hearing Knockout had yelled and Soundwave softly sighed. Knowing what was going to happen now.
"WATCH THE PAINT!"
Knockout yelled out angrily then yelped out in pain. All the bots in the room had all quickly looked at the angry medic holding a wrench. Optimus and Ironhide both took a step back, knowing personally how much those wrenches of doom felt on the helm, having been on the receiving end of them on more than one occasion.
Knockout growled, took the wrench, and snapped it two.
Ratchet's, Optimus', Ironhide's and unknown to all those in the room, Wave's children's optics all widened in horror, knowing what was about to happen. Soundwave, and knockout frowned in confusion, not knowing what was about to occur.
"...m...m...MY WRENCH! KNOCKOUT, I NEEDED THAT!" He sputters angrily.
Lennox ran in on a catwalk, having heard the yelling and he froze with Optimus, Ironhide, Soundwave, his creations and Knockout, who were all looking at Ratchet in fear as the medic panted angrily.
Knockout recovered from his shock quickly, scoffed arrogantly, and had put a servo on his hip.
"For what?! Hitting bots with?!"
"AS A MATTER OF FACT, YES! ITS THE ONLY WAY THEY LISTEN TO ME!"
Knockout had just looked at him with a 'really' look, one optic raised. Ratchet roared and went to attack him. Knockout, looked afraid as he backed up, holding his servos up to protect himself, but Soundwave had gotten up and had shakily stepped in front of him, looking angry. Ravage watched all of this with worried but curious optics for her carrier.
Optimus stepped in between them, holding Ratchet back before he could kill Knockout and or hurt Soundwave.
"Now, Soundwave, lay back down please. You are still injured..."
Soundwave nodded at the Prime, looked Knockout over before he went and laid down. Knockout softly smiled at him and helped him to lay down.
"Now, Ratchet, I am sure Knockout did not really mean to break your wrench..."
"sure he didn't..." Ratchet mumbled.
Optimus continued as if he wasn't interrupted and glared at Knockout.
"Right, Knockout?"
The vain medic sighed dramatically.
"FIINE! I'm sorry I broke your precious wrench which can easily be replaced."
He then yelped, Soundwave having smacked the back of his helm. Optimus held Ratchet tighter as the medic tried to get out of his grasp to hurt said vain medic.
Optimus just looked at him with a small glare which said, 'we will talk later'.
Ratchet growled then nodded once, backing up and turning away. Soundwave looked between them, wondering if anything was going on between them, but decided to look into it later, after his helm stopped pounding.
Ratchet walked to his office, grumbling the whole way then stopped and turned to the red medic.
"Well, you coming or not?!"
Knockout jerked in surprise, looked at Soundwave who shrugged, just as surprised then smirked and ran off to the red and white medic, but not before gently taking Soundwave's servo and squeezing slightly.
That gesture definitely did not go unnoticed by the Prime. He made a mental note to investigate that further later, for now, he had to question this young mech.
Soundwave watched him nervously, wondering what he was going to do. He watched as Optimus and a strange, black mech walked up to his berth. He saw the human had somehow gotten onto the black mechs shoulder armor.
He wasn't going to think about how, as his helm had started to pound harder in pain and looked at Optimus who was looking at him with his deep blue optics. He saw the look of a leader in his optics but also saw the worry of a carrier in them as well.
Optimus looked him over with a silent rage, vowing to avenge the youngling who was hurt so badly. Ironhide glared at the Decepticon as Lennox watched him with slight curiosity.
Soundwave sighed then looked away, he knew he wouldn't be accepted at first but it still hurt. Optimus looked at Ironhide and silently asked him to leave them.
"But Prime! He is a Decepticon! I'm not going to leave you with this one, he is dangerous!
"I appreciate your concern old friend but I will be fine. Soundwave will not be doing anything to me, I promise you."
Optimus looked at Soundwave, a smile hidden behind his mask as Ironhide grumbled some more but left with Lennox on his shoulder looking slightly confused.
Before they could leave, however, Optimus stopped them.
"Before you go, could you take Soundwave's creations to the rec room to refuel? I know they must be hungry."
Ironhide froze, mid-step, at hearing his request. He knew the cons evil creations were there, he just didn't want to acknowledge them.
"And why, would I do that?"
Ironhide asked, not feeling very apt to obeying the Prime today. Lennox looked around and saw a group of six looking at them. He smiled, seeing the youngest one looking around in curiosity.
"Aw, come on Hide, they do look hungry..."
Lennox said, watching them. Lennox saw that the oldest one was standing guard in front of the younger ones protectively. The rest of them were making sure the youngest of them was preoccupied to not see their carrier in the condition that he was in now.
Soundwave looked around frantically looking for his kids. Optimus assured him that they wouldn't be harmed but how was he to know that?! These were Autobots who had previously tried to kill them all! Soundwave, seeing them, sighed in relief then gave a slight nod to Ravage, giving her the quiet order to watch over her siblings.
Ravage nodded back and gathered her siblings together, holding Ratbat on her back and walked to Ironhide who grumbled under his intakes as he led the small group of 'cassettes' out towards the rec room for energon, obeying the Primes order to watch them. He would watch them, didn't mean he would be happy about it. Lennox held onto his shoulder so he wouldn't fall off as he watched the cassettes walk.
Soundwave watched his children leave, his spark felt slight fear at having them so far from them. He had become quite protective of them since his first mate, SoundByte had been cruelly offlined by the monster he called master. He then turned his helm back to the Autobot Leader and watched him carefully. He wasn't going to do anything to Prime, but, he wasn't sure if the Prime would do anything to him.
He had known him his entire life but bots changed. Optimus walked behind the communications officer and grabbed a cybertronian sized stool and pulled it next to the injured mech. He then sat down and removed his battle mask, a smile being revealed.
Soundwave looked away again, not wanting to see any kindness. He didn't deserve kindness. Not after the sins he had committed. Knowing that he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, he mentally prepared himself for the talk that he knew was coming from the bot that had given him life. He really wished he had a pain-killer right about then...
