"Soundwave?" Mirage called using his comm hoping he would get through to his brother.
Soundwave standing between Megatron and Starscream, visibly jumped at the sound of accent voice in his helm, catching Megatron and Starscreams attention.
"It's Mirage your brother..." Mirage continued to speak, hoping his brother would respond.
Soundwave perked and left the room quietly, leaving the two mechs puzzled, for the sudden odd behaviour.
"What was that about?" Starscream asked turning to Megatron.
"I'm not to worried, he might have found something defective on the ship" Megatron shrugged not worrying about the faceless seeker.
Soundwave did not reply to the youngling on his comm but listened to what he had to say. "...Well...if you hear this...I haven't forgoten what you did, I tried coming back for you but the autobots wont let me leave the base, sorry... I miss you..." Mirage sighed ending the silent call.
Soundwave replayed the younglings recording, mulling over the words the youngling said, Soundwave knew the relationship between him and his brother were growing very thin, if not already torn apart now being on opposing sides.
"Hey buddy where were you!?" Sunstreaker greeted Mirage with a bunch in the arm.
"Ow, why!?" Mirage whined holding his shoulder, as the Sideswipe and Jazz approached with Arcee.
"Why are you always escaping the base?" Jazz answered a question with a question.
"There's no reason anymore" Mirage answered watching the three stand around him.
"Mirage something wrong?" Arcee asked with concern for her friend.
"What was the reason then, and how come you never bring us with?" Sideswipe sighed rolling his optics.
"I was looking for someone..." Mirage answered looking at the ground.
"Aw we could have helped" Jazz told the red and black youngling.
"Uuuh... probably not... plus it was better if I went alone" Mirage replied to Jazz with a slight smile.
"Who's the bot, why can't we look for him?" Sideswipe continued the questions.
"He's my big brother, last I saw him was before I found you two in that alley way" Mirage explained to the silver twin.
"Oh, what happened to him?"
"He was forced to join the decepticons... I don't think he had a chioce..." Mirage continued his explination.
"Is he still alive, what's his name?" the twins continued to question poor little Mirage.
"Yes he is... he's Soundwave..." Mirage reluctantly answered the pestering friends.
"Soundwave?" Arcee gasped looking at the others.
"Soundwave, I've heard stories about him from Prowl" Jazz shivered clearly showing the stories were not good ones.
"Ironhide talks bout him him all the time, Mirage Soundwave isn't good, he's evil" Sunstreaker said to Mirage.
"He's not evil, why just because Ironhide Prowl and the other old ones tell you stories!?" Mirage snapped turning to Sunstreaker.
"Well the things he's done for Megatron, it dosen't seem like he hesitates to kill our autobot soldiers" Sunstreaker snapped right back standing only a couple feet above Mirage.
"Sunstreaker you don't know if he actually wants to do that stuff for Megatron, you've never met him!" Arcee defended the upset red youngling.
"You don't know anything but horrible stories, Soundwave's good, but the only thing that gets through your helm is lies!" Mirage growled staring Sunstreaker right in the optics.
"You trying to atart something?" Sunstreaker hissed staring right back.
"Sunstreaker don't, he'll kick your sorry aft" Sideswipe called his twin, trying to stop the brewing fight.
"I'd like to see tiny try!" Sunstreaker scoffed giving Mirage a small push.
"Hot head chill out, and back off" Jazz begged Sunstreaker, watching Mirage stumble backwards.
"Dude he's got weapons..." Sideswipe warned as Sunstreaker continued to escalate the fight.
"Mirage needs to learn, his brother is an evil con that will do anything to kiss Megatron's big aft!" Sunstreaker hissed hitting Mirage's last nerve.
"That's it!" Mirage growled tackling Sunstreaker tumbling out of the rec room with Sunstreaker.
"Guys!" the tree other youngling gasped following the two fighting.
"Ah!" Sunstreaker yelped as one of Mirage's swords sliced open his arm.
"Your no different then the cons!" Sunstreaker yelped as Mirage chased him down the hall way.
"What's going on out there?" Optimus said hearing pained yelps and yelling comming from the hallway and walked out the med bay with Ratchet and Ironhide.
"Aaah, Ironhide help!" Sunstreaker cried as Mirage beat on him in the middle of the hallway, as the other younglings ran up to help.
"Mirage!" Optimus and quickly pulled Mirage off the golden twin as Ironhide pulled Sunstreaker away from the angered youngling.
"Why would you do this Mirage!?" Ratchet gasped examining Sunstreakers slash on his arm and chest.
"It's his fualt!" Mirage hissed squirming in Optimus's servos.
"Sunstreaker was saying horrible things about Mirage's brother" Arcee answered the prime.
"I was just telling him the truth about his brother!" Sunstreaker whined as Ratchet cleaned his leaking energon.
"I will tell your truth to, your a hot headed jerk!" Mirage snapped at Sunstreaker.
"Enough you two, Sunstreaker you had absolutely no reason to go that far with Mirage, despite how many stories Ironhide tells you" Optimus growled at the golden twin.
"Now you two are brothers, and will treat each other like so, now apologize!" Optimus continued to speak sternly to the twin.
"...I'm sorry Mirage, I didn't mean to hurt you, guess I shouldn't believe every story I hear" Sunstreaker sighed his apology to the red youngling.
"Sorry for hurting you..." Mirage apologized, stopping his struggle in the primes arms as Sunstreaker rejoined the others in running down the hallway.
"Now Mirage, you can't go picking fights, you can literally kill someone, forget seriously injure, Mirage the others do not have your training, don't pick on the weak" Ratchet ranted to the depressed youngling.
"I didn't mean to hurt him... I just got angry..." Mirage sighed looking to the floor.
"We'll it's getting late, time for all of us to settle down" Ratchet sighed walking towards the rec room with Ironhide.
"Ratchet will you tell Hound I have Mirage for the night" Optimus called after the CMO.
"Of course Optimus" Ratchet replied before entering the rec room leaving the prime with the youngling.
"Come on, I wont bite" Optimus cooed escorting Mirage into his room.
"I really honestly didn't mean to hurt Sunstreaker" Mirage repeated himself a. looking up at the great mech he walked with.
"I know you didn't youngling, you know how to attack that's for sure though" Optimus tried joking with the youngling.
"Why am I here?" Mirage asked the prime as he sat on the berth.
"Well you want to know about your brother don't you, and I'm no Ironhide" Optimus said sitting beside the surprised youngling.
"You're going to tell me stuff about Soundwave?" Mirage questioned raising an optic ridge.
"Yes, while they may not be the most positive stories about him, I wont talk as if he's the worst con out there, you have to find positives in everything you go through" Optimus admitted to the youngling that sounded very interested.
"...Ok, so what do you know about wave?" Mirage asked with great curiosity.
"Well he's definetly one of the most accomplished warriors I've ever seen to come from the decepticons, and the most loyal to Megatrons wants and needs" Optimus started.
"He has never been known to speak a single word, he has never spoken with any con, not even Megatron, only through recordings, even in the most high stressed moments battles or missions not even a sound has came from Soundwave, he's a silent killer and a bery excelent spy and assassin, which you will benwith your skills and abilities" Optimus said to Mirage.
"Wow, he certainly has been busy since we were separated..." Mirage sighed mulling over what the prime spoke of.
"Well yes, but he's a very wanted and trusted soldier getting every task he does done properly and succesfully" Optimus continued.
"I'm going to do that to" Mirage said in a cheery tone.
"I know you will, you'll be my first pick to send on an important mission of any sort" Optimus chuckled at the younglings enthusiasm.
"Now you promise me if you want to talk about your brother, you'll come to me to hear the non judged imformation that wont upset you? Optimus asked the youngling sitting next to him.
"I promise, I don't want to get into anymore brawls with my friends, I don't like hurting them" Mirage agreed with the prime.
"Ok good, now how about some recharge, we can talk tomorrow" Optimus said turning his lights off in his room.
"You can have the berth, I'll recharge over here" Optimus said laying on a small couch against a wall a few feet away from the foot of the berth.
"Thank you Optimus" Mirage yawned laying on the berth, quickly falling into a much needed recharge.
