Sorry for the long update! I have news! I broke my toe...
Chapter 31
Optimus crawled on top of her and gave her the look again. "You mean this one?" He asks.
"Okay definitely did not imagine it" Bee said looking up at him.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Optimus teased.
"Not at all" Bee replied slowly making Optimus not believe her, "Just curious as to what you're doing".
Optimus just smirked and leaned down. Bee blushed a little as he leaned closer.
"Aw! Am I making you uncomfortable?" He teased again, leaning closer still.
"No" Bee said quietly her blush deepening slightly.
"Hmmmm... good" he said then kissed her. She squeaked a little but kissed back. Optimus dug his hands into her hair and deepened the kiss. Bee was surprised at first but soon melted into the kiss, putting her hands in his hair.
Back on the nemesis.
Sirena had come out of stasis and was being yelled at by Megatron, "HOW DARE YOU LET THEM ESCAPE!"
"Frag off my head hurts" Sirena Moaned.
"Don't tell me what to do! You just let 4 of my vechicons get off lined and you lost 2 prisoners, how did you manage that?" Megatron asked, he was furious.
"I forgot soundwave had a fragging feeler" she said back.
"That's not good enough! We lost just lost vital information - you will have to make up for this" Megatron demanded.
"And how am I gonna do that?" She asked.
"Figure something out!" Megatron shouted.
"Like what?" She demanded.
"You're the one with the autobot contact - get creative" Megatron responded as he walked out.
"Arg!" She groaned and called shadow. Shadow had been sitting in her room spinning in her chair when she got the call. As soon as she picked it up she started rambling - asking if she was alright cause she would've gotten into a lot of shit from letting Bee and Soundwave go.
"Shut the pit up" Sirena snapped at her.
"Sorry" Shadow chirped, she shut up and waited for Sirena to speak.
"I need info so I can keep Megatron away from me" Sirena whined.
"Oh, um what sort of info?" Shadow asked curious.
"Anything Shadow, please" Sirena says with a sigh.
"Um alright I - scrap I don't know anything - give me a sec I'm going to find Ratchet" Shadow said frustrated that she didn't know anything to help out her sister, she got up from her chair and headed to the med bay. Sirena was listening to her walk around and her head was pounding. Shadow got to the med bay. "Ratchet!" She yelled as she looked around, "are you in here?"
"Yeah!" Ratchet yelled back.
"Awesome!" Shadow yelled back before adding, "I need your help can you come out here please?"
"Sure. What do you need?" He asks back.
"I've got Sirena on the line - she's needs something to give to Megatron" Shadow explained, "Information or something - otherwise she's in deep scrap because she let Bee and Soundwave go"
"That might be something to asks Optimus. not me" replied Ratchet apologetically.
"I was hoping you had something on the console..." Shadow said, "But it's all good - where could I find Optimus?"
"With Bee in his birth room..." Ratchet replied with amusement.
"What's the amusement for?" Shadow asked picking up on it in Ratchet's tone.
"Just give them time to get their clothes on before you open the door" Ratchet said cryptically. Shadow's eyes widened a little in realisation before nodding. She set off to the hallway really not wanting to disturb them but knowing for Sirena's sake she had to. Strangely enough, when she got to the door of his room, it was open. And Optimus was just watching Bee sleep.
"Hey" Shadow whispered getting Optimus' attention so that she wouldn't wake Bee.
"Hello Shadow" Optimus said without looking up from Bees sleeping form.
"I don't want to interrupt but Sirena and I need your help" she explained.
"Of course. What can I do for you two" he asks with a smile.
"Sirena needs something to give to Megatron - she's in a lot of scrap from letting Bee and Soundwave go" Shadow explains, "Information or something like that - something that will keep Megatron at bay"
"Mhmm. Well get her to tell him that we are... Eh... going out on a supply run tomorrow?" He asks more than says.
"Then what? When she fails him again - he won't hold back, he'll know somethings up" Shadow argued, his idea had merit but it was too flimsy of an idea to actually follow through with.
"Well to be honest. We do need to do a supply run away so why not tomorrow?" He smiled at her cheekily.
"Alright then that could work, I'd need the details - Sirena's hearing everything right now she's on the line" Shadow explained showing her phone to him.
"Well we'll be in the city from 06:00 to 18:00. That literally all I got right now but it should be enough" he said to them both.
"Oh, yay a 12-hour supply run, alright that should be enough - right Sirena?" Shadow asked before approving to Optimus.
"Yeah that's good! Thanks!" Sirena says then she hung up. She made her way to the bridge trying to find Megatron.
"Alright she approves - should I go tell the others that we're doing the supply run and that Megatron will know?" Shadow asked as she put her phone away.
"Yes, that would be best" says Optimus.
"I'll go do that then!" Shadow said as she left Optimus to watch Bee. When everyone else was informed Shadow had nothing left to do.
"Damnit" Shadow cursed, now she was bored.
The Nemesis…
Sirena had made it to the bridge. "I hope that you have something of use to me prime" Megatron growled.
"Well I get the 12-hour supply run the autobots are doing would be too boring for you so I'll just go away then" she said and turned to leave.
"A supply run? For what?" Megatron asked keeping Sirena from leaving, a supply run for 12 hours was unusual and was obviously for something big.
"I thought you didn't want to know?" Sirena mocked him.
"I said that the information you have better be worth my time and if the Autobots are going to be leaving the safety of their base for 12 hours at that it could be an advantage for us" he replied scowling Sirena - he didn't like the way she talked to him. She smirked at him then "the they have completely run out of supplies. So, they have to do a full stock up which will indeed take then about 12 hours" Sirena replied to him.
"Where about?" Megatron asked.
"They didn't give a destination, just where they were having lunch" Sirena replied broadly.
"Then we can watch them from there and act after they've separated - so where is it that they're having lunch?" Megatron pressed.
"At something call Starbucks" Sirena replied confused.
Megatron ordered Dreadwing to search for it and dismissed Sirena as he thought of a plan to catch the autobots off guard.
Meanwhile at the Autobot base - 5 hours later…
Shadow was looking everywhere in her room for Razor - she hadn't seen him all day and if something happened to him, Sirena would kill her for it. Suddenly something on her bed started purring. Shadow turned to see him lounging on her bed, "Okay you weren't there a second ago, but hey I found ya" she beamed happily as she rubbed Razors ears - he was stretched out on her bed looking quite comfortable. He started purring louder as she rubbed his ears.
"Cutie - you get everything handed to you don't ya?" Shadow talked to him, she moved to her desk chair now knowing where Razor was and not having to search for him. He hissed as she stopped petting him and jumped onto her lap.
"Alright I'm sorry" Shadow chuckled as she started petting him again. He snuggled down into her lap and fell asleep. Shadow just smiled at him and continued to pet him as she stared blankly at the ceiling. He suddenly lifted his head to the door as it opened and Sirena stumbled in with energon leaking out of her hair line and muttering something about spiders.
"Primus! Sirena!" Shadow stood up as Razor had jumped off of her. Shadow grabbed onto Sirena to steady her and laid her on the berth, "What happened?"
"Fragging spider got me..." she said drowsily, having lost a lot of energon from the wound.
"Arachnid? oh scrap your losing energon - you need help" Shadow panicked, "Stay awake". Shadow got onto the coms and asked Ratchet and KO for help right away.
"Mm sleepy" she said as her eyes closed.
"No no no no" Shadow said quickly, "Stay awake stay awake" she ordered, she ran to her door and yelled out for the bots nearby to help - she was trained in first aid but nothing for as serious the wound that Sirena had.
"Megatron... took the... bait be ... careful to... morrow" Sirena replied hazily.
"Sirena we'll worry about that later" Shadow said as she got a cloth from the bathroom, until Ratchet or KO got there she would have to do something. She lightly held it against the bleeding wound telling Sirena to keep talking.
"You have... pretty... eyes" she smiled weakly at Shadow.
"You are so loopy" Shadow responded with a small smile, Ratchet had commed saying that he and KO were on the way so she was a little calmer.
"They give... your name... meaning and...are so...easy for me... to read" Sirena says as she drifts off again.
"Oi no, stay awake you aft" Shadow said shaking her a little till her eyes opened again, Ratchet and KO came in at that point.
"Oh!... petty red!" She said tiredly. Shadow laughed slightly as Razor jumped into her hands. Ratchet and KO bandaged the wound and gave Sirena more energon - they said she would be fine she just needed rest.
"Hmmmm. I wanna sing!" Sirena giggled after Ratchet had left, leaving Knockout to keep an eye on her and Shadow until Sirena healed.
"You're are just like Soundwave when he's loopy" KO mused. Shadow laughed at his comment as Razor snuggled into Sirena's side.
"Maybe there's a God above all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you! And it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light! It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah!" Sirena sang as she petted Razor. Shadow was laughing at her while she filmed it on her phone - Sirena would so see this when she was functioning again.
"Come come Kitty Kitty! You're so pretty pretty! Don't go Kitty Kitty! Stay with me! Come come Kitty Kitty! You're so silly silly! Don't go Kitty Kitty! Play with me!" Sirena said as soundwave came in with optimus to stay with the three for a bit. Shadow just continued to laugh and film Sirena - she was so dead when Sirena found out but it would be worth it.
"This feel like Deja vu much? I have no idea why though" Soundwave says confused as Sirena continued singing. KO laughed loudly at his comment, "Because this was you when you were loopy, different songs but the same"
Just as KO said that, "I love you always forever, near and far closer together, everywhere I will be with you, everything I will do for you~ You've got the most unbelievable red eyes I've ever seen you've got me almost melting away~ Say you'll love, love me forever, never stop, never whatever, near and far and always and everywhere and everything~" Sirena started singing the same song he had.
"Creepy" KO muttered, Shadow just laughed and filmed KO's freaked out face.
"Please tell me no one filmed me doing this?" Soundwave asked frightened.
"No, I was the only one... around" KO said slowly as he remembered Bee was around a few times that Soundwave went loopy but he couldn't remember if she had filmed it.
"Why is it that I do not trust you?" Soundwave said to knockout with a scowl.
"Because I was confident in my answer before I remembered that Bee was around a few times and I wouldn't put it past her to film you" KO answered truthfully, not caring about the scowling.
"Your just lucky I like you" Soundwave says with a blush and a pout. KO just shrugged. Shadow had filmed the whole thing while Optimus sat by her. Sirena has finally fallen asleep and fell off the birth. Shadow yelped at the sound of the crash - her focus was on the couple. She put her phone away as she and KO lifted her back onto the berth. She then proceeded to roll straight off the other side.
"I'm done she can sleep there" Shadow said sitting back in her chair.
"Oh, just pick her up. We'll put her in our bed. She IS a flyer you know. She's used to nest beds and we've got one" Soundwave says to the lot of them.
"Well you can do that - she's heavy" Shadow admitted.
"I meant Knockout and Optimus" Soundwave snickered.
"I got that" Shadow muttered as she crossed her arms. the mechs laughed at her antics as they picked Sirena up and carried her to KO/Soundwave's room. Once she was down Knockout turned to Shadow. "When was the last time you ate?" He asks her. Shadow shrugged and turned to walk away.
"Eat or I tie you to a birth and force feed you" Sirena hisses at her as she opened her eyes. Shadow paused her walk at Sirena's voice, she thought over her options before going to head to the kitchen - it wasn't that she didn't want to eat it was simply that she forgot.
"Optimus? Go with the glitch" Sirena muttered to him.
"You so do not trust me!" Shadow shouted from the hallway as Optimus joined her.
"She does, she just worries" Optimus said.
"Yeah I know" Shadow waved him off as they got to the kitchen.
"Watch gonna eat?" Optimus asks.
"I don't know" Shadow said as she stared at the cupboard thinking of a way to get out of eating much.
"Why don't you sit and I make you something Hmmmm?" Optimus said with a smirk.
"You know exactly what I'm thinking don't you?" Shadow asked as she turned to him.
"Yep! Now sit your aft down" he said still smirking. Shadow mimicked him as she sat down, "You suck" she commented.
"Wrong anatomy their honey" Optimus said with his head in the cupboards. Shadow banged her head down on the counter in front of her at his comment.
"I heard that" was her answer.
"What my head making contact with the counter?" Shadow questioned her head still resting on the counter.
"Do you want do see Ratchets wrenches of doom?" He asks her.
"Why would anyone ever want to see that?" Shadow asked as her head snapped up her eyes widened from fear of the wrenches.
"Then stop hurting yourself or they'll be directed at you" he informed her. Shadow thought for a moment then nodded, "yeah good advice"
"I know. Now eat" he demanded as he put a salad in front of her. Shadow shrugged and ate. As she did she asked, "So how's Bee?" with a cheeky smirk on her face - Optimus was her best friend and she believed that she had the right to do this to him.
"Sleeping" he dead panned.
"You know what I mean" Shadow poked him, "It's good that you finally found someone"
"Shut. Up." He hisses at her.
"Don't get mad Optimus - I meant no offense" Shadow calmed.
"Don't lie you glitch, of course you did" Optimus pouted.
"Optimus - I'm happy for you that's my message" Shadow told, "Oh you've always been sensitive to this subject - I'm sorry".
"Frag you" he says still pouted.
"Save that for Bee" Shadow teased before she could stop herself.
"Gotta be honest and ask though. Have you fragged anyone yet? Or are you still untouched?" He said with a smirk. Shadow gave him a look saying 'what do you think?'. She shook her head and laughed before saying, "At this point I highly doubt having a king".
