Hey! Sorry for the long wait. Would you believe that I met someone that read this? I feel really happy about that.

Chapter 24

"Soundwave said that I wasn't a real medic because I used to deal with mostly dead patients. He said I was a coroner, not a medic" Knockout finally explained to Bee.

"KO you're a real great medic, it's not your fault as to who your patients are. And if I get a ding or something I don't want Ratchet to know about, you're the first medic in line!" Bee said to KO, "Plus Ratchet been loving the extra hand, he would get us to help but we don't know a thing about being a medic" Bee joked hoping to cheer up KO.

"Yeah but still... I'm not most people's last choice let alone their first" Knockout sighed.

"What do you mean KO?" Bee asked not fully understanding what he had said.

"I'm better at taking things apart then putting them back together" Knockout admitted.

"Well its lucky then that Ratchets better at putting them together then taking apart" Bee said, "You have your strength and your weakness, don't let it get you down" Bee comforted.

"Thanks bee. You should get going, I think you've been in here long enough" Knockout said as he shooed her out the door.

"Your welcome, and rude!" Bee said as she was shooed out with a laugh. Soundwave had stopped watching when Knockout told bee what he had said. He felt like such an aft for it too. Bee decided to head back to the control room. Soundwave wasn't paying attention to anything but his work so he didn't hear the door open or close.

"Heya, again" Bee greeted sitting in the same chair as before. Soundwave jumped a foot off the ground at the noise.

"Woah! dude you alright?" Bee asked concerned.

"Aside from a mild heart attack, I'm fine" Soundwave lies.

"That's a lie" Bee pointed out.

"I hate you" Soundwave dead panned.

"That is also a lie" Bee smiled.

"What do you want?" Soundwave turns to ask.

"To see if you're okay" She replied.

"I'm fine!" Soundwave whined. Bee gave him a look saying, 'I don't believe it'. "Really? you're fine yep, I'll believe you when you don't spy on other conversations" she said.

"What are you talking about?" Soundwave says looking confused.

"You were listening in on me and KO in the med bay not long ago" Bee stated, she raised an eyebrow, "Weren't you?"

"Not really" Soundwave says as he returned to work.

"lie" Bee declared, pointing a finger at him.

"OK fine I was listening. Happy now?" Soundwave snapped at her.

"Yes" Bee said cautiously, his snapping scared her a little. Soundwave took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Maybe you and KO should talk. or is it too soon?" She suggested quietly.

"I'll talk later, I'm just twitchy after the virus" Soundwave admitted.

"Alright. So, do you know who planted the virus?" She asked.

"Unfortunately, not" Soundwave replied.

"Damn! Well you'll figure it out!" Bee beamed, "Could there be any possibility that it was MECH or the cons?" she asked.

"MECH maybe but not the cons" Soundwave answered.

"hmm..." Bee hummed.

Two days went by and Soundwave and Knockout still hadn't talked to each other and Bee was getting annoyed.

"Alright that's it!" Bee shouted as she entered the control room where Soundwave was sitting at his computer, "You and KO have to talk, it's been days, the virus has run its course and you no longer need to cool down!" she said as she pushed him away from the computer, "You are going to talk"

"Hey! No! Stop!" Soundwave struggled as she pushed him down the hall.

"Don't you dare tell me to stop!" she hissed, "You are talking this out"

"No! No! No! No! No!" Soundwave kept repeating as she pushed him into the med bay.

"Stop telling me no!" she hissed, "KO get your aft out here now!" she shouted. Soundwave watched in horror as the new bay doors opened and Knockout stepped out.

"What are you shouting for...?" KO trailed off at the end when he saw Soundwave, he turned to Bee and said "No". He went to turn away but Bee started shouting again, "Nuh-uh get back here! you two are fragging talking!" Soundwave gave her a mild glare, just enough to know his wasn't happy but not enough to give her nightmares.

"Don't you glare at me Soundwave!" she yelled, sending her own glare. "Sit your afts down and talk or I send you to a mountain" she said. Soundwave Sat down and waited. Then he got up again and walked to the ground bridge.

"Where do you think you're going?" Bee questioned.

"To a mountain" was Soundwaves reply.

"You know I implied the mountain you sent Optimus and me, right?" she questioned, "And if you're going so is KO"

"Sure" Soundwave said and opened the ground bridge. He walked through not bothering to see if Knockout came too. But he went, if only because Bee pushed him in. When the ground bridge closed behind them Soundwave started walking away.

"Soundwave, we may as well talk" KO said defeated, "otherwise that femme will kill us later" Soundwave sighed and sat down waiting for Knockout to join him. KO did join him. Soundwave didn't want to start but he knew he had to. "I'm sorry" was all he said though.

"I know" KO said.

"I didn't mean it either. You're a great medic, really" Soundwave says.

"I suppose we dragged this out a little too much, I forgive you" KO replied. Soundwave stayed silent for the moment. KO did too.

"I'm fragging cold" soundwave hissed and got up, he held his hand out to knockout to grab. KO grabbed his hand and Soundwave pulled him off the ground. Soundwave led them to the cave with the pillows and pressed the red button so the vines fell across the opening.

"I suppose we aren't calling for a bridge back anytime soon?" KO questioned.

"Do you want to?" Soundwave asks as he tilted his head.

"Was just asking" KO defended putting his hands up in surrender.

"So was I" Soundwave says with a smirk. KO nodded a little and smirked back.

"So, what you wanna do now?" Soundwave asks.

"Don't know, you?" KO asked. Soundwave gave a devious smirk and crawled over to knockout slowly. KO sat there and watched Soundwave with a smile. Soundwave crawled onto knockout and grinned at him with his fangs. They then kissed and the rest is up to the readers imagination.

Later at base~

Optimus sat in the rafters like a creeper watching the bots with their human wards. Raf and Bee were playing with the RC cars, Jack and Arcee were talking and Bulkhead and Miko were wrestling. optimus was also throwing frozen peas at ratchet, of course ratchet couldn't see who was doing it so he couldn't retaliate. Bee was the only one who knew he was up there, it was her hiding spot after all so she knew. She would snicker every time Ratchet turned to see who could be throwing the peas but everyone was occupied and didn't notice. when Optimus throw another pea, it bounced off and hit Miko in the face. Making her loose the wrestling match. "No fair!" Miko shouted as Bulk pinned her, "Something hit me in the face I call do-over"

Optimus was smirking from his spot. Bee was trying to hide her laugh behind her hand while the others were just confused, staring at the frozen pea on the ground.

"Is that a pea?" Bulkhead asks.

"Yep" Miko said, she picked it up and looked around the room, "Who made me loose the match? Speak now" she demanded loudly. Suddenly a pea hit Arcee in the forehead. Everyone froze at the glare that came onto Arcee's face, even Optimus hesitated but he continued smirking, Bee tried really hard not to laugh. The next one hit Jack.

"Okay where are these coming from?" Ratchet seethed, he had his hand on his wrench ready to throw. Optimus was in the shadows so even if they looked up they won't see him. His next pea got Raf in the glasses. At least it didn't break the glasses but it certainly surprised the boy, Bee didn't want to give Optimus away but she glared at him, letting him know not to mess with Raf. Bulkhead got the next one on his nose. Bee nodded a little glad that Optimus had gotten the message, and laughed slightly. Smoke opened his mouth at the wrong time and got one there. It was just sitting on his tongue and that's what finally got Bee to laugh out loud. Of course, Jackie gets hit in the eye. After that Jackie had his katana out ready to slice the peas that came his way. Of course, a barrage of peas came at him then. Bee was laughing full on at the sight. Optimus kept chucking peas at Jackie until he got Smoke again.

"Alright this has to stop! Who is doing this?" Ratchet asked, "And Bee it's not that funny"

He gets Ratchet with the peas next.

"Oh, come on!" Ratchet shouted before shouting a string of curses.

Jack and Miko got them again next. They tried to avoid them but it didn't work. He got Arcee next. Until he ran out of peas "scrap!" He muttered.

"Alright so its stopped..." Arcee said slowly, "Does that mean it stopped completely or for now?" Smoke questioned. Optimus had run out of peas "Primus damn it!" Optimus mumbles angrily.

"Maybe" Bee shrugged. Optimus quietly got down from the rafters and got behind the group. "What's going on?" He asks. Bee gave him a little smirk, while the others explained what had happened.

"Peas? Really?" Optimus asks fake surprised. Everyone nodded at what Optimus had said buying his 'surprise'. "At least they were frozen so they didn't make too much of a mess" Ratchet stated, "Yeah but that made them hurt more!" Miko said loudly.

"Speaking of messes. We're are Knockout and Soundwave?" Optimus asks. Bee's eyes widened as she realised she completely forgot that she left them on the mountain. Optimus saw the movement. "Bee? What did you do?" Optimus asks.

"Well..." she drawled out stalling.

"WHAT. DID. YOU. DO" Optimus demands.

"They weren't talking to each other for two days so I put them on a mountain ad forgot about it" She admitted quickly.

"Ratchet open a bridge" Optimus said. Ratchet did. Soundwave was asleep when the bridge opened but knockout didn't wake him up, just picked him up and stepped through.

"So, what'd we miss?" KO asked when he made it through.

"Frozen peas" was Optimus's reply. KO didn't question it and just went to his room to put Soundwave to bed. However, he ended up slipping on some peas and stirring up Soundwave. Bee laughed quietly at the sight.

"Whatzhappining?" Soundwave asks sleepily.

"Nothing just go to sleep" KO said as he walked carefully to the doors, actually making it this time.

"Mhmm I don't wanna" soundwave whined cutely. KO made it to their bedroom quickly, leaving Optimus to tell off Bee. "Aww you're cute but go to sleep" KO said.

"Nooooooo~" soundwave whines.

"Yesssss~" KO imitated back.

"But I wanna sing~" Soundwave giggles.

"And this is why you need sleep, so do it by yourself or I'll induce stasis" KO said.

"Nooooooo!" Soundwave said as he tried to crawl away. But he didn't get a chance to as KO induced stasis, making Soundwave fall limp on the bed. Two months later and things had run smoothly. There had been no sightings of MECH or the cons. It led to smoother operations in the base but also led to some bots becoming paranoid. That's why Bee spent most of her alone time in the training room punching the bag. Or with Optimus forgetting all about it in a birth.

Bee was outside hanging with Raf when Agent Fowler pulled up in one of the black cars. The two didn't pay attention to his arrival until they heard him arguing with a teenage girl.

"Who's that?" Asks Optimus.

"I don't know" Bee replied, a little surprised, she didn't know that Optimus had joined them. They listened to the argument trying to get a name or something. "But Fowler it isn't a dumb move! We have MECH's location, lets strike now!" the girl insisted.

"Imma guess that Agent Rogers" Everything looked at Soundwave weirdly "what? I hacked the file!" He replied.

"What?" Bee asked quietly, "Yeah, that shouldn't be possible for her to be an agent, she's too young" Raf stated.

"Youngest ever if the file was right, but her first name is Madelyn" Soundwave said as Fowler and 'Agent Rogers' walked in.

"I'm telling you, Fowler. This is a good plan id just need a team! It's about time that Silas was put away!" Madelyn pressed.
