Starscream just stared at Raven as she talked and talked. He thought of so many ways that she could have taken advantage of the fact that he was out of it after the interfacing session with Megatron, but she didn't. She cleaned him up and even helped to replace his interfacing cover. And instead of running away, as she could have, she merely sat on the table, waiting for him to rouse. Starscream was thoroughly confused, as he still did not understand all the rational and irrational human behavior. She should have been scared, she should have run away, she should have taken advantage of him, but she didn't. The whole thing just did not compute as logical in Starscream's mind, even as he sat and talked with Raven.
Raven, for her part, never felt any reason to be scared of the seeker. In fact, she was intrigued by him. And since Raven was always one to help out others who needed it, it explained why she had helped Starscream by replacing his interfacing cover after Megatron took advantage of the seeker to satisfy the tyrant's own lusts and needs. But there was only one real reason she could think of for not running away when she obviously had the chance and the choice – she had feelings for the seeker, feelings that she hoped would be returned. And so while they chatted, Raven did what she could to show the seeker, who was kind of dense, that she really did like him, without know that he was falling for her as well.
"Raven, why aren't you scared of me? Most organics see me and run, and yet, you came to help me out each and every time I needed it. Why?" asked Starscream, arrogant manner gone, genuine interest showing.
"Well, first of all, Screamer, I am not scared of you because I am just not. I can't really explain it…" Started Raven before she was interrupted.
"Please don't call me Screamer, I hate that nickname ever since Thundercracker gave it to me. Yes, I know I have a screechy voice, but please don't call me Screamer" stated Starscream with much hesitancy, as he hated to reveal that he had a soft side.
"Ok, I understand. Star, the reason I helped you out was because you were in trouble. And yes, while many of the situations you find yourself in are funny, you can't always get out of everything by yourself" replied Raven, receiving another look from Starscream "What's wrong?"
"I just thought the way you called me 'Star' was special, as no one has ever called me that, not even when I was little" replied Starscream, slight whimsy in his optics, that let Raven know more than Starscream realized.
Raven asked Starscream to set his hand down on the table and Starscream complied, laying his hand palm up so that his little 'pet", no friend, he corrected himself, was able to climb in. And once she was safe, he lifted her up to the point where they could look deep into each other's eyes/optics. And while neither said anything, there was a deeper understanding between the two. Raven felt her pulse race and her hands get all clammy while Starscream felt his spark skipping jolts and his mouth going dry. And on an impulse, Raven reached out and hugged the lower portion of Starscream's face, mostly his chin as it was all she could get in her arms around. And during the hug, Raven planted a big kiss right on the bottom of Starscream's bottom lip.
Starscream felt as if he was in heaven, as the tender touch and warm kiss seemed to melt even the spark of glass that he had deep within his chassis. Starscream made sure to keep his hand underneath Raven, though he was using his fingers not only to hold her, but to gently stroke her back. The kiss and love felt like it went on forever, though it only lasted a few seconds. And it was a good thing it ended when it did, as Megatron was soon back for a second helping.
Megatron burst into the room without even knocking, a definite mood killer. Starscream and Raven were both puzzled as Megatron went straight for the seeker again. Starscream knew what was expected of him, though he fought it slightly, since he did not want to appear wussy in front of Raven. But before Megatron got to close, Raven gave Starscream an idea, an idea that Starscream liked, even though he was not sure if it would work.
And so as Megatron approached, Starscream's position changed from submissive to dominant, startling the old tyrant, who was curious as to why the change. And before Megatron could react, Starscream jumped the old bot, causing Megatron to crash to the floor and Raven to laugh hysterically. Starscream smirked, as this time, things were going to be different. Megatron squirmed and thrashed about, but nothing the tyrant did freed him from the seeker's strong bonds. Megatron looked Starscream square in the optic. There was a fire behind them, that had been rekindled and relit, making Megatron swear, as things were not going to go as Megatron had planned.
Raven watched with an intense interest, as she knew what was going to happen – Starscream was going to get Megatron back for all the times the tyrant used and abused the seeker. Raven had given Starscream the courage and encouragement to do what Starscream had wanted to do for eons. And so with a quick wink to Raven and then a look underneath him, Starscream used his long, metallic tongue to lick his lips, as this was going to taste delicious. Megatron just looked up in a panic, as he realized that Starscream was going to be the one in control this time, and Megatron did not like that, he did not like it one bit. And without a single word uttered, Starscream went in for the kill.
