-A few days later-
"Doc? Can I ask you a question?" Luna looked at Ratchet. He groaned.
"Wheeljack is rubbing off on everyone!" She giggled.
"What do you need Luna?" He looked down at her and she sat on one of the berths.
"Could you look up something for me? Well actually 2 things."
"What would that be?" Luna got serious.
"How to bring someone out of a coma for one. And two: Twilight's birth certificate."
"Why and why?"
"Twilight is in a coma and I talked to Knockout about it and he said that Starscream's mate may have been a grounder. And an Autobot. And he thinks something may have happened to make Starscream take his pain out on Twilight. I agree with him."
"Hm..." Ratchet went to the computer and went though files.
"Here it is." Luna walked over.
"Which one?"
"Her birth certificate."
"Who is her sire?"
"Someone named Legato."
"Legato? Look him up!"
"Geez you're like your sire."
"Shh." She covered his mouth and pointed to the screen.
"Look it up doc bot!" He did and they looked at his records.
"An Autobot scientist, later sniper, had a twin brother...Praxian...Praxians are the only grounders who can make with seekers."
"How come only Praxians?"
"Both have similar frame structures.."
"Oh." Luna made a note to herself.
"Maybe Wild Flame knew him."
"I'll ask later. Now what was the other question you had?"
"How can you bring someone out of a coma?"
"Ratchet walked away from the computer."
"I haven't dealt with very many comas. The ones that I did deal with most of the families and friends tried to talk to them and it worked."
"So talking to them?"
"Yes." Luna smiled.
"Thanks doc bot!" She ran out. He facepalmed.
-in Wild Flame's lab-
Luna knocked on the door and quietly hoped to herself this wasn't one of his bad days. The door opened and the white mech looked at her and smiled.
"Hello Luna. Is there something you needed?"
"Yes. I was wondering if you knew a mech named Legato?"
"Legato? Yes I knew him. Why are you asking?"
"Well my friend is his daughter."
"Oh. I didn't know he had a daughter. Which friend?"
"Twilight."
"The seeker?" Luna nodded and leaned against the wall.
"She's in a coma and I'm trying to piece together why her carrier would hate her so much."
"Oh." Wild Flame looked up in thought.
"Wait who is her carrier?" The mech looked at the shorter femme.
"Starscream. He beat her and now she's in a coma."
"He used to be a scientist too. I went to school with him."
"Seriously?" Luna blinked a bit and made a small sound in thought.
"Oh, do you know what happened to Legato by any chance?"
"Um," Wild Flame held his chin, "I think he may have been MIA." Luna nodded and smiled at the elder mech.
"Thank you and have a good day Wild Flame."
"You're welcome and have a good day as well." Luna ran out of sight and Wild Flame went back inside.
Luna knocked on the door to Starscream's quarters a few days later. The seeker opened the door and glared.
"What do you want?" he growled. Luna crossed her arms and moved her weight to her left side and glared back.
"Does the name Legato ring a bell? Talk seeker!" Starscream froze.
"How did you figure out that name?!"
"I do my research. Who is he?" His wings drooped and he looked off to the side a bit.
"And why do you beat Twilight? Is it because she looks a lot like her sire? Does she act a lot like him? What is it?"
"This is invasion of privacy!"
"Do I need to get Shockwave to use the psychic patch?"
"This is invasion of privacy!" Luna walked off and found her sire.
"Daddy?" Megatron looked up from the blue prints.
"What is it Luna?"
"Do you know where Shockwave is?"
"Why?" Luna sighed and walked over.
"I want him to use the cortical psychic patch on Starscream. I want to go through his memories to see why he abuses Twilight."
"That's dangerous Luna."
"I know but it's worth it to save a friend."
-later-
"This is illegal! I have my rights!" Knockout rolled his optics and tightened the carbon fiber ropes holding Starscream to the berth. Luna looked over at Twilight before looking at Shockwave. He connected the patch to the back of Starscream's helm. He went silent. Everyone looked at Luna.
"Are you ready?" Megatron held her servo and looked down at her. Luna nodded and Shockwave connected her as well.
"Ok Starscream. Talk. It's just us now. Why do you treat Twilight like scrap? Why do you beat her up? Why do you not love her?" Luna stood in front of Starscream in the dreamscape. He was sitting a few feet away on a small bench. She waited for him to answer and crossed her arms as she looked around.
"I'm waiting."
"She's too much like that knock-off...She shouldn't have been created in the first place."
"Which knock-off?" Starscream glared and growled a bit, "Legato..."
"That's no reason to hurt your daughter! She's half your spark too!" The seeker was silent.
"She's not just him! Why do you hate him?"
"He left me! Ok?! He left me alone with her! I'm not meant to be a mother! Legato said he was going to help me raise her but he left one day and never came back!"
"He went missing Starscream. He didn't leave you. I went through his files. He was MIA."
"Then why didn't anyone ever tell me that?!"
"Did you love him?" Luna looked at the grey mech. Starscream was close to tears.
"Of course I did!" Luna switched her weight from her left pede to her right pede and sighed.
"And because of your actions the only thing that you have left of him is going to die." Starscream froze.
Megatron and Knockout stared at Luna and then Starscream.
"What did you do in there?" asked Knockout.
"Changed him," she replied. They watched Starscream hold Twilight's still body and sob. Luna walked out.
-A few Weeks later-
"What happened while I was out?"
"Too much Twilight. Too much." Luna smiled and held Twilight's hand happily, thanking Primus she was awake and alive.
