Three in a day tells you I have nothing better to do~….
Chapter 7
He knew it. They told Fowler. Sons of bitches. 'I need to find a new state to live in' soundwave thought to himself. He couldn't stay here now but something was stopping him from leaving... something Bumblebee has said... "why not join the autobots? The war can end quicker!"... but he couldn't. But that didn't stop him from helping them without them having a clue...
"Well what happened to Soundwave then?" Fowler asked, "um... he kind of ran..." Miko admitted timidly, "And you just lost him?!" Fowler barked. "Listen, we were a little distracted" Bee defended showing the cuts covering hers and Bulkheads frames...
Soundwave should probably feel sorry for that...'Nah!' He thinks 'they totally deserve it for telling'...
"Okay then, so you lost the Excon?" Fowler asked making sure he understood the situation, when he received nods from everyone in the group he turned away and started walking, getting them to follow, "alright, we'll get you two back to base for treatment and then you can inform your team of it". The group walked until they came to Fowlers car...
Soundwave accidently let the beeping from his proximity detector loose. 'God, I hope they don't hear that!' Soundwave thinks as he flattened himself against the wall...
"Wait a minute..." Bee spoke up, "what's the wait?" Fowler asked turning to the small femme, "I heard a beep" she explained "well that could mean anything, c'mon Bee let's get back to the team" Bulk insisted, Bee stopped to think things over, she knew that the beep came from Soundwave and that he was watching them, she didn't know whether to voice it or just leave Soundwave be. Bee decided to give Soundwave a silent chance and said, "yeah Bulk you're right I'm just jumpy". The others all nodded and got into Fowlers car, then they drove away...
Holy shit. Well that just happened. Soundwave had no idea what to think...
"So, do the bots have any idea what just happened?" Miko asked from the backseat with Bee to Fowler...
"Nope, from what I could get out of prime earlier, they have no Idea, you even went off the gird for four hours!" Fowler replied in a very serious tone...
"Wait, wait, wait, four hours?" Bee asked in disbelief, "I can't believe it, I went for a walk to look at the city and it turned out to be four hours?" "Yeah Bee you were gone so long Miko and I went looking for ya" Bulk said twisting in his seat to look back at the girls...
Everyone in the car fell silent thinking about what had been said...
Two weeks later...
Bee was wondering round the DC base when she heard it... "yeah all the security just turned off... yeah just like that! Ratchet thinks it was a hacker" she heard Arcee talking to Jack about it...
Bee walked into the room and Arcee turned to Bee, "have you heard about the security problems?" Arcee asked the femme, "haven't heard a thing, so is it up and running now or are we still down?" Bee asked hoping that they weren't still down...
" Nah were up and running now... though ratchet did find a ton of new info he didn't know we had..." Arcee said as she showed it to Bee...
The data pad had so much information, concerning both of their problems, MECH and the Decepticon's. "Woah! No way how did this even get in the system?" Bee asked hoping that they had ideas to suggest...
"that the problem, we don't know... the only thing we have to go on is this here" Arcee points to a picture of glowing purple eyes at the bottom of the page, Bee flips through some pages to find that they are on every page. Bee could have sworn she had seen those eyes before too...
Bee realised where she had seen those eyes before, she could only smirk at it but she kept it hidden to Arcee and Jack, "well that is not much at all... I mean purple eyes? There are some humans with a form of mutation that develop purple eyes but not like this" Be spoke to Arcee trying to seem as though she was trying to figure it out...
Soundwave had wondered if Bumblebee had figured out it was him yet. He decided to hack into the bases security system. He had heard the last bit of the conversation and was saddened to hear that she hadn't realized it yet...
Bee wished that she could thank Soundwave for what he did, as well as say sorry for doubting that he had gone stray from the 'cons...
Arcee had noticed that Bee was being distant. Well more like she was looking for something, then distant per say...
"Bee, you still there?" The femme asked, making Bee jump a little since she had zoned out thinking about how Soundwave had helped them. "Yeah, I'm here, sorry I just trying to go through our options of who could've given us this" Bee lied convincingly holding up the data pad...
Arcee would tell ratchet later about Bee's weird behaviour but for now there was nothing she could do...
Bee saw that Arcee had believed her lie but she could also see that Arcee was suspicious, Bee saw that Jack had bought it and Bulkhead had too, Bee supposed it was a femme thing...
a week later Soundwave was bored. nothing good comes from Soundwave being bored, you can ask anyone of the Nemesis that. he was currently watching the security footage of the DC Autobots base. well that was until something happened. Ratchet figured out who broke in. 'This should be interesting,' Soundwave thought.
Optimus, Bumblebee, Raf and Ratchet were standing next to one of Ratchets consoles talking about it, the others having gone out with their charges. "Wait you think you figured it out?" Bee clarified...
"I think the person who hacked us was soundwave..." ratchet replied. "It can't be! He wouldn't help us!" Raf shouts...
"What evidence do you have that it could be him, Ratchet?" Optimus asked calmly. Bee stood calming Raf, the boy was quite confused about it...
"I've been going over all the data when this came up and the only person who could know this is soundwave..." ratchet replied as he played a clip depicting Bee in the nemesis stealing a relic in an empty room...
Bee remembered that heist, she had stolen the polarity gauntlet back. "Yeah, I didn't even know there were cameras in that room, I mean I swept it before I took the gauntlet!" Bee explained to the group, "Soundwave knows everything that goes on in the Nemesis, but that still doesn't make sense... why would he help us?" Raf asked still watching the clip. "Perhaps what he told Bumblebee is true, he has defected from Megatron" Optimus suggested, Ratchet scoffed than asked "regardless, Soundwave said he was going rogue, why would he help us?" ...
A week after that soundwave was walking randomly around DC when who does he run into? Oh, that's right! Bumblebee! "Must we always meet like this" he asks with a smirk...
Bee jumped back not expecting the encounter, she had been doing what Raf told her not to do, text and walk. Bee looked at Soundwave then at her phone before quickly hiding the phone in her pocket, she didn't want it broken again...
"It's very rude not to answer people's questions" soundwave comments as he raised an eyebrow. His sunglasses back in place...
"It wasn't so much a question more a statement" Bee sasses recovering from the shock...
"don't be stupid. I'm allergic to stupidity, I break out in sarcasm" Soundwave replies as he starts to walk around the park.
"That's something everyone does" Bee replied, she stood in the same place for a moment before running after Soundwave, "listen I just wanted to thank you for the information, it was very helpful" Bee said standing a few feet behind Soundwave who had stopped walking when she started thanking him...
"I didn't do it to get a thank you... though if you ever get captured and need blackmail... well... let's just say Megatron doesn't prefer femme when he goes to bed. Starscream can verify that", Soundwave said as he smiled at her over his shoulder, "now there's something you can report to Optimus."
Bee stood stunned really not knowing what to say. "You want me to report that to Optimus?" Bee asked slowly still stunned, just by the look on her face Soundwave could tell...
"I want to see the look on his face... is that so much to ask?" Soundwave said with a shrug...
"And you really think Optimus is gonna like the fact that I ran into you again, only to report the fact that Megatron is gay and not have tried to bring you back to base?" Bee rambled knowing the Soundwave would get away again and there was no hope in trying that again...
"like you could catch me! you couldn't if you tried!" Soundwave laughed...
"I almost caught you last time!" Bee defended "I'm faster than you think!"...
"almost and nowhere near as fast as me" Soundwave replies calmly...
Bumblebee had been angered by his comments but she calmed her thoughts and realised, he was riling her up. She just stood there before turning away and continuing her walk in the park...
*BOOM* "Holy Shit!" someone shouts as Breakdown and Knockout land in front of Soundwave knocking his glasses from his face...
Bee was a bit away from them and watched frozen for a moment. She quickly snapped to action and started to clear people of the area as Knockout, Breakdown and Soundwave talked...
Well... she says talked... more like they talked and he replied with recordings...
Bee had cleared everyone out of the park without the cons knowing, she was about to slip away and call the auto bots when...
Soundwave slammed into her having been thrown from across the park...
Bee groaned as Soundwave got off of her, he turned to look at her then reached out a hand to pull her up. Bee gave a silent thanks to Soundwave, which he received loud and clear, and looked around for her phone, which had been in her hand before the crash. She looked over to see it on the ground near the cons duo, "scrap" she muttered...
Knockout smashed the phone under feet as soundwave grabbed her hand and bolted...
Bee yelped, at the sudden movement of Soundwave bolting and her phone being smashed, again. "What is with you and running?" Bee complained, she was keeping up well with Soundwave and looked over her shoulder to see that Knockout had given chase, "of course" Bee muttered while rolling her eyes, she ran faster knowing Knockout would only pick up speed
Soundwave had them duck round corners and down side ally's trying to lose them...
But his plan didn't work well as they ran down one alley and was blocked off by Breakdown jumping out, Soundwave and Bee stopped a few feet from Breakdown with Knockout blocking the other way. The cons laughed thinking that they had caught Soundwave by himself, not realising that the femme was an autobot. After all they never realised that Bee was a femme...
Soundwave quickly covers Bee's ears and lets loose his high-pitched scream, being careful not to let go of bee...
Bee saw the cons drop to the ground covering their ears, she also saw the glass around them shatter and Soundwave covered her from getting sprayed. As the cons were on the ground recovering Bee snapped out of the daze and shook out of Soundwave's grasp only to grab his hand and run past Breakdown...
All soundwave knew was that he had to get Bee out of here. But he couldn't think of how...
Over the past few weeks Bee and the others had been human she had been mapping out DC in order to know her surroundings, but at the moment she was currently cursing herself because she had no clue where they were or where they would run to...
Soundwave let loose his feeler and got knockout in the throat. He kept hitting knockout until he was leaking energon...
Bee hadn't noticed that Knockout had chased them. Knockout was leaking energon heavily and if they didn't get out of there Breakdown would rip them to shreds. "Soundwave that's enough, we need to go" she shouted so Soundwave could hear her through his rage fuelled beating...
Soundwave shook himself out of his rage and followed Bee...
They ran down the alley and into an area that Bee knew, she led Soundwave to a secluded alley from humans where she hoped the cons wouldn't find...
Soundwave couldn't figure out how them found him. At least they haven't figured out that it was Bee yet...
Bee paced back and forth, she'd been gone for a long time and the others would go looking for her, especially if she couldn't contact them...
"I'm sorry" Soundwave whispers so quietly that he wasn't even sure the Bee had heard it but he had to try. Maybe he could get her away but they've seen her. With that thought in mind he had a plan...
Bee had heard that Soundwave said something, but it was too quiet to decipher what he had said. Bee stopped her pacing and turned to him, "what'd you say?"...
"I said I'm sorry, very, very sorry" Soundwave said again...
Bee didn't understand why he was apologising. "Why are you sorry?"...
"because of this" that was the last thing Bee heard before darkness over took her.
4 hours later Bee opened her eyes to come face to face with a pair of glowing purple eyes...
"Ow" Bee grumbled as she came to, she was foggy and didn't understand what was going on...
Soundwave just stares at her like he was waiting for a violent outburst...
Bee was so dazed that she didn't bother with the outburst...
"Welcome to Ark mansion, Bumblebee" Soundwave says as he turned on the lights. "Sorry about zapping you"
"Wha?" Bee mumbled covering her eyes from the sudden light...
"Ark mansion. It's mine." Soundwave repeated
"What the actual frag?!" Bee shouted getting her head straight. She jumped up from where she was and looked around seriously freaked out...
"well that went well..." Soundwave replies as he ambles out of the room...
"WAIT!" Bee shouted after him, "how long was I out? The team needs to know where I am! Wait where exactly am I?" Bee rambled, she would've kept talking if it wasn't for...
Soundwave throwing a pillow at her head. "6 hours, ratchet knows and your still I'm DC" soundwave replied as he got some food from the kitchen...
Bee brushed the hair out of her face since the pillow attack. "What do you mean Ratchet knows?" She asked...
"I may or may not have said that you were staying with a friend in your voice..." soundwave whispers the last part hoping she wouldn't hear him...
"You're kidding?" Bee did hear him, "I DONT HAVE FRIENDS HOW THE PIT DID RATCHET BELIEVE THAT?!" She shouted at him, the only friends she had was everyone on the team...
"I asked a lovely lady to pretend to be the friend" soundwave says as he munched on an apple. He offers one to Bee...
"A random lady? Are you serious?" Bee asked pulling her hands through her hair, she was stressed from everything that had happened, she didn't notice the apple. "Wait staying? You said staying with a friend, what time is it?" She asked still stressed as ever and with Soundwaves reply she would be more stressed...
"8:30pm and yes, my eyes are great for seducing people. Both men and women" Soundwave replied still offering the apple Absently...
Bee was extremely weirded out by everything, but her eyes bugged out when she found out the time. "8:30? Dude we were in the alley at like 4, wait what am I meant to tell the team about my phone? Fowler is gonna be pissed and Optimus will be disappointed!" Bee sat back down and ran her hands over her face tiredly...
"One: we were in the ally at 1:30ish and two: I got you a new one!" He says happily as he put down the apple and picked up and identical phone to the one knockout smashed. He continued to eat his apple through...
Bee stared at the phone in Soundwave's hand. She couldn't understand why he did everything that he had done, even if she wasn't happy about being shocked and knocked out he had gotten her away from the cons. "Thanks" she said hesitantly as she took the phone...
"it's not rigged to explode you know..." soundwave mumbles as he watched her hesitate...
"That's not what I'm thinking" Bee replied in a small voice, she smirked and said, "But you know what I'm thinking"...
"It's partly what you're thinking... the other part is asking why I'm doing this" Soundwave replied with a smug smirk on his face...
Bee had a blank look on her face before she realised he wasn't wrong and shrugged, "so why are you doing this?"...
Soundwave didn't look at her when he spoke, just looked out at the View, Bee wonders when he walked to the window, "The needs of the many out way the needs of the few, or the one in this case" was all he said...
Bee groaned, "a riddle really? You're as bad as Optimus."...
"Tell you what. If you figure it out? Tell me and I'll tell you anything you want to know." Soundwave replied quietly as he continued to look out the window...
Bee was not happy with his challenge because she sucked at riddles, whenever Optimus spoke in riddles and Miko wasn't there to question it she would always just ask Arcee afterwards. "Okay fine, so you just wanted to help me out or something? Help out the Autobots?" she asked hoping she was right, she didn't like this game but she needed answers...
"When you figure out the riddle, I'll tell you. But for now, you gotta eat" soundwave replied back as he asks himself again why in Primus he's a southerner. He grabs a plate of food from the kitchen and hands it to bee...
Bee cursed, having hoped she was at least close to the riddle. She looked at the food and was about to complain that she wasn't hungry when Soundwave...
Turned around and said "you're hungry. Eat the damn food" soundwave didn't stay in the room after that but headed out the double doors at the far end...
Bee truthfully was a little scared, so she did the most logical thing she ate the damn food...
Soundwave was surprised that Bee didn't follow him straight away just to throw the plate of food at his face but he assumed she would find him when she needed him. Or was going to throw something at him for real...
Bee had plans to later on catch Soundwave off guard and get him back for the pillow earlier. She finished the food, she turned out to actually be hungry, and put the plate on the table in front of the couch she was sitting on. She had thought about going off to find Soundwave when she looked out the window at the view of DC, it was lit up beautifully as it was night, she could see the Autobot base from here and wondered if that was a coincidence...
Soundwave was on the roof in a giant glass box that is his computer room. As he worked he was looking at the autobots base wondering why the hell he chose a place with this view. But he knows the answer to that...he just couldn't stay away and it was annoying the Shit outta him but he couldn't stop the feeling that he needed to help Bee...
Bee hadn't moved she was too captivated by the view, it was nothing like Cybertron but it was still beautiful. She was thinking about Soundwaves riddle and everything he had done for them. He was once their biggest enemy and here he was trying to protect her and making her eat, truthfully it wasn't the first time someone had to remind her to eat. He had given that information to them even though it could in turn be trouble for him...
Soundwaves screens suddenly came to life as showed him a picture of the autobots coming his way...
Bee thought that could be the answer. 'soundwave was risking his neck to help the autobots?' she didn't know but she hoped she was close enough to get answers. She had no clue that Soundwave had suddenly become distressed...
Soundwave bolted down the stairs to Bee and told her what just happened...
"SCRAP!" she cursed loudly, "Are you sure that they're coming here and not just this way?" she asked hopefully they both knew that they couldn't be seen together, not after the lie of where Bee was, as well as he was the one with purple eyes, and Bulkhead would recognise him in a sparkbeat... "I'm sure but hey watch this!" Soundwave began to shift. It looked weird watching a human do it but hey. Soon he looked like a girl with red hair and bright green eyes...
Bee fell back in shock. She looked up at Soundwave amazed and freaked out at what he, she, just did. After a moment of silence Bee asked, "You think it will work?"...
"Do YOU?" Soundwave says in a very smooth voice.
"Absolutely not!" She replied certain that they would fail, Bee could only hope that she didn't get into too much trouble after this...
"Yeah we'll see about that!" Soundwave replied.
Just then the autobots busted down his/her/it's door. "hey that cost a lot of money you know!" Soundwave replied back in a very seductive tone...
Bee just face palmed...
All the males in the room froze when they saw soundwave and Bee. 'I wonder if Bumblebee has realized what we're wearing yet...' was his only thought...
Bee couldn't look at anyone, she just had her head in her hands...
"What? Is there something on my face?" Soundwave hissed furiously at the autobots. They come barging in here and just freeze. Really!?...
"Uh prime I think we got the wrong house..." Wheeljack muttered...
Soundwave spins in her heels to look at Bee. "Why are your friend just standing there, Bumblebee?"...
"Because they've glitched or something" Bee muttered still head in her hands...
"Well... when they decide that they've had enough time to look at half naked women, then they can fix my door and trust that I shall return you safely back to them" soundwave hissed furiously at the autobots when they don't move...
Bee just hit her head a couple of times going bright red, she silently pointed at the door and the mechs got the message they left money for door and put it up as they left...
"Told you it would work" soundwave says as she/he/it ambles away in a very femme style still in the horribly revealing nightwear...
"YOU SUCK!" Bee called back to him, hating his guts at the moment and threw a pillow at the back of her head, Bee froze as it actually made contact...
Next thing bee knew was a wall of pillows coming straight at her from soundwave...
she screamed as she was hit by them. She fell to the ground as she was smothered by the pillows but she couldn't help but giggle... they had just had a pillow fight and They both knew that Soundwave had won...
"Suck that bumbles!" Soundwave called out to her from the kitchen where she was getting food Her feeler helping her...
Bee grumbled a few curses under her breathe but other than that she just laid there, after moving a few pillows off of her face...
"Having fun there, bumbles?" Soundwave asked, "well bad news is that I can't form back to a Mech for about 8 hours" soundwave says as she falls onto the sofa...
"Eh" Bee shrugged not really caring she was quite comfortable where she was so she still hadn't gotten up...
Just then the alarms set off. "Oh, for the love of everything holy! What the hell is it now?!" Soundwave screams just as megaton ripped down her door again...
Bee quickly jumped up, not many bots could scare her but Megatron definitely could (I'm making so that Bee actually has clothes on now). Bee backed up to Soundwave not saying anything but clearly, she was shaken...
"What is it with strangers breaking down my door! Natasha do you know these people?!" Soundwave asks bumblebee...
Bottom of Form
