Autobot-Blurr 221: I love your reaction to this XD
What do you mean I know too much? The panda said it was important!
Nice poetry haha
Soundwave was shocked to find out he was the descendant of the monster who betrayed the Thirteen and offlined Solus. Speaking of the Prime, she couldn't believe he was related to her brother. He turned to see her reaction and almost cringed at the fear and hurt in her facial features. Soundwave lowered his gaze from everyone else's and rushed out of the room in fear of being judged. Solus tried to stand but Ratchet held her down.
"No! He knows what happened to me! I need to talk to him!" Solus argued. When Ratchet still refused in fear of her wellbeing she buried her faceplate in her servos and let out a shaky sigh. She couldn't believe Ravage would announce something like that! Jack frowned and shot a glare to Ravage for hurting his partner and her courted. He ran out of the room to look for Soundwave, everyone else being too busy to even try to find him. He eventually found the mech sitting in a storage room, obviously in deep thought.
"Hey Soundwave, sorry I'm not Solus but Ratchet's being stubborn and won't even let her stand." Jack said awkwardly. Soundwave didn't even look up or respond as Jack entered the room. "Solus really needs to talk to you. She told you about Megatronus, didn't she? You're thinking that you're like the Fallen just because you're his descendant. You heard Ravage, the only way he could tell was because of your optics."
"Jack you obviously didn't see the way she looked at me. She looked scared, she thinks I'm a monster. She had every right to, I'm the descendant of one after all. Megatronus offlined Solus for Primus' sake!" Soundwave muttered. Jack climbed up a stack of boxes and sat on top of them. "I even became like him, I became a Decepticon. The prophecy is right in more ways than one, I was a traitor to Solus."
"You're the descendant of Megatronus Prime, but that doesn't define you. You made the mistake of following Megatron, but that doesn't define you. You were hurt by Solus, but that doesn't define you. These things don't define you, but you let them define you. Be the person…err Cybertronian that you want to be. When I was twelve my dad left my mom and I to fend ourselves for some other lady. I could've become like him but I'm not because I refuse to become like my dad. Just think about it and please talk to Solus once you have." And with that, Jack left Soundwave alone. Soundwave was shocked at how mature Jack was for such a young human. Don't let what he is…define him?
"So Jack, did you find him?" Solus asked as the boy entered. Everyone had left the room to carry on with their business. Jack stopped in his tracks and looked up at her. He couldn't tell what she felt about Soundwave anymore. He could tell that it came as a shock to her but would she make that an excuse to leave him again?
"Yeah but I need to ask you something. Do you hate him now because of it? I mean it's not really his fault that he's the descendant of the Fallen it's not like you can choose your family. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Soundwave is upset. He thinks he's a monster now and that you don't love him anymore. Please tell me he's wrong." Jack blurted. Solus blinked in surprise before she bent down and gently picked up the human so they could be face to faceplate.
"My reaction was uncalled for, I shouldn't have looked at him the way I did. When I looked at Soundwave memories of fights within the Thirteen and my death came back to haunt me. I was scared of him. I admit it I wasn't sure of what to do. I didn't know if I could trust him or not…" Solus explained sadly.
Soundwave was outside the door when she said that. He backed away from it, knowing that it was true. He did become a monster and he was scaring away the one he loved the most. It was as if his spark was ripped in half all over again. He didn't, however, hear the first part where she said that she felt bad about her reaction so he thought she was telling Jack about how she didn't trust him anymore.
"I need to talk to him now Jack. Can you go get him please?" he heard Solus ask her charge. So this is how it was going to end. She was going to tell him goodbye again and he'd lose her once more. He backed away from the door and acted if he was just walking into the room so that when Jack entered he wouldn't know that he'd heard everything. Jack saw him and nodded, encouraging him to go inside. Oh, so now the human is taking back his words? Soundwave merely nodded and entered quietly. He was taken off guard when he didn't see her on the berth. But if she wasn't there then where was…
"GAH!" Soundwave yelped when Solus snuck up behind him and tackled him in a hug. He ended up falling, but he turned himself so he would be on the bottom facing up so she wouldn't get hurt any more than she already was. Solus giggled and placed her forehelm on his with a smile. She saw the worry and nervousness in his optics and grew concerned. Jack was right, he did think he was a monster.
"Looks like someone wasn't expecting me." Solus humored. "Now why is Jack telling me you think you're like that monster? Yes, at first I was scared. That fear grew when you ran away, but I was afraid you weren't going to come back. Memories had come back, yes, but it's nothing against you. Every time the name comes up I shudder. You are not Megatronus and you are nothing like him."
"The look you gave me, you looked like you weren't afraid of him, but of me. It was like the day you found out I was a Decepticon." Soundwave said as he shifted his gaze from her, which was quite hard considering she was still on top of him. She sighed and lifted her helm off of his and put her servo there in its place. She remembered perfectly well the day she learned the truth.
**Flashback**
"Are we there yet?" the red and golden twins whined for the hundredth time. A blue and pink femme growled and hit them both upside the helm. They yelped and rubbed their sore helms. A red mech chuckled from behind the femme and passed them with an energon sensor. "Mirage, tell your femmefriend to be nice!"
"I am not his femmefriend you aftheads. I don't court, never have never will. I thought by now you would've gotten that through your thick helms." The femme growled in annoyance. Mirage gave her a slightly offended look but laughed nonetheless at the twins expense. "Did you get a fix on the location yet Mirage?"
"No, Arcee, not yet. Have patience, First Aid would have our helms if we came back injured because we went in too fast. Besides, it's kinda fun to watch Sideswipe and Sunstreaker argue like that." Mirage said as he motioned to the fighting twins. Arcee huffed in frustration and followed the spy through the many series of tunnels. Arcee suddenly stopped and motioned for everyone to stay silent. Shots started to ring out so Mirage pushed everyone down. "We're under attack!"
"Way to point out the obvious Mirage!" Arcee snapped. They hid and began to fire back, praying that the blasts wouldn't cause a cave in. Arcee looked jumped out at a nearby con, not even noticing who it was, and tackled him to the ground just as the ceiling began to collapse on them. Arcee groaned as she pushed herself up. When she had attacked the con she was knocked away by a falling rock. She looked around the small room and realized that she was trapped alone. A moan from nearby told her she wasn't completely alone. She turned and froze to see that the mech she attacked was Soundwave. Arcee ran up to him, not even checking for an insignia, and turned him over to see his visor cracked and a wound on his chest. "Soundwave? Soundwave do you hear me?" There was no reply and her spark sunk. She saw the insignia and her spark sunk at the realization that he was a Decepticon. Protocol was to offline him immediately, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. "Ravage eject and help me"
"What is it Solus?" Ravage asked as he ejected and transformed into his bipedal mode. He was surprised to see her so upset over this. Solus had him help her fix up Soundwave's wounds as he told her about how Soundwave became a Decepticon and why. She stroked Soundwave's cheekplate with a heavy sigh. She heard crashing and she knew that the others were trying to dig her out. Ravage returned to his master when they began to get closer.
"Arcee! Arcee are you in there?" Mirage's voice rang through the corridor. Arcee stood and hid Soundwave so that the others wouldn't kill him for being a Decepticon. She didn't want him to be hurt again, especially not by her. The crashing and yelling became louder as the others neared where she was trapped with her old friend.
"Y-Yeah Mirage I'm here." Arcee finally called out. When her comrades got through they were immediately by her side. She didn't even realize she was crying at that point. "I'm fine guys, I can walk by myself. Let's just get out of here before this place completely collapses on us. The Decepticons can have the mine for all I care."
"Are you sure you're okay? You're crying Arcee." Sideswipe pointed out. Arcee merely shrugged and pushed by them. They followed her until they could hear a light groaning. Everyone spun around to see Soundwave standing. Mirage and the twins immediately went to shoot him but Arcee did the unthinkable. She forced them away from the con. "Yo Arcee what's up? He's a Decepticon! We're supposed to offline him!"
"I don't care! I won't let you hurt him! I've caused enough damage on him already I don't need you three adding onto it!" Arcee snapped. She glanced at Soundwave with a hurt expression. She knew he could easily kill her right then and there. It wouldn't surprise her if he attacked. Soundwave hesitated, letting the four Autobots escape before calling for a ground bridge. "I need to trust you guys with a secret, one you must keep to only yourselves. There's a reason why I wouldn't let you hurt Soundwave."
"What is it Arcee?" Mirage asked in worry. Arcee dragged them the rest of the way out of the cave to talk to them. She began to explain the truth between her and Soundwave. She was careful to exclude any part that would blow her cover as a Prime. The twins began to laugh, exclaiming that they knew it was impossible for her to never court someone. Arcee merely rolled her optics and drove off towards her team's base.
**End flashback**
"Wait…you repaired me that day?" Soundwave asked. Solus smiled and nodded. She kissed his forehelm and sighed. They heard a loud gasp and something crash to the ground. They both jumped up and turned to see Bumblebee passed out on the ground and Ravage staring with wide optics. The Prime started laughing his aft off and nearly doubled over from it.
"I think you just scarred Bee!" Ravage laughed. Solus' cooling fans were on full blast now. That had to be the most awkward position to ever get caught in. What made matters worse was that her own brother caught her. Ravage finally calmed down and shook his helm. "The others would love to hear this! Hey guys guess what!"
"Ravage don't you dare!" Solus growled. Ravage smirked and ran out of the room. Soundwave chuckled as Solus chased him down. Some bots never change. Solus finally was able to tackle Ravage to the ground when he made it to the others. They turned in surprise to see the Primes struggling. Solus finally was smirking victoriously as she sat on Ravage's back. "Come on say it. Say uncle!"
"Get off me Solus! Fine I won't tell them!" Ravage grunted. Solus shook her helm and continued to sit on him. He wasn't getting out of this anytime soon, at least not until he said it. Ravage growled as people snickered at his misfortune. "You're acting a lot like how Nexus would, I hope you know that! And Primus HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?"
"Afthead," Solus muttered as she smacked the back of his helm. There were several snickers and "ooohs" after that. Solus was right about one thing, the Thirteen fight a lot. Solus was slightly offended by the weight thing but what really got her was that he mentioned Nexus. She was still trying to figure out what happened to him. The heard a whirr and everyone turned to see Bee walking into the room with Soundwave behind him.
"I just had the weirdest dream ever, Ravage and I were checking on Solus and we found her lying on top of Soundwave in the med bay on the floor." Bee groaned. Ravage burst into laughter and Raf hesitantly translated to the humans what he said. Solus facepalm and groaned. This was going to be a long day.
Poor Bee, he's scarred for life. XD That was fun writing! NOW ONTO THE HOMEWORK!
Ugh you know what? Nevermind I'm just gonna lay in bed and read fanfics! :D
