Starscream stayed at the hospital with some of the Autobots to help comfort Knock Out who was still really torn up about Ratchet's death. The red medic was now fully healed and walking around and everyone was trying to be there for him knowing that he was hurting after his ordeal.

"Knock Out I understand what your going through and if you need someone to talk to I'm here." Arcee told the red medic.

"Thanks Arcee." Knock Out thanked her.

Starscream smiled watching the exchange glad Knock Out had so many friends who were there for him.

Then the seeker went outside needing to clear his own processor still feeling responsible for Ratchet.

Megatron could tell Starscream was feeling bad and decided to give the seeker some space.


Starscream was walking around outside the hospital when he got an idea and took a ground bridge to the police station and went inside where he was greeted by Siren.

"Hi." The young rookie greeted the seeker.

"Hello is Prowl here?" Asked Starscream. "I wanna try to set a trap for Night Rain and Lockdown."

"No he went to investigate a lead on something but I'll help anyway I can." Siren replied the young bot reminded Starscream of a cross between Smokescreen and Bumblebee because he was so eager and kind.

"Ok I'm going to a nearby club and I want you to stay on the com-link with me the whole time and send the cops and Autobots when I say so or if you hear something go wrong." Starscream explained his plan and Siren agreed to help.

Starscream wanted to end this so no one else would get hurt or killed and he wanted to take down Night Rain and Lockdown to get justice for Ratchet.

The seeker had made a point to leave Siren at the police station and only stay with him through the com-link because he didn't want to risk the young bot being harmed if things got bad knowing even though he was a cop he was also still a kid who might act recklessly trying to prove himself.

So Starscream activated his com-link with Siren on the other end as he left to go to the club.


Upon arriving Starscream went inside the cybertronian night club which was packed since it was after 9pm, Music was being blasted and Starscream had to be careful to avoid bumping into other bots who were either walking to tables or on the dance floor.

Siren who was hearing everything over the com-link was bobbing his helm to the music.

Then Starscream went and took a seat at the bar but that was when his plan started falling apart.

Two random bots who had had too much high grade started fighting among themselves and rough housing each other and one of them ended up punching a bot who was carrying a tray of drinks when the other one ducked.

And some of the drinks ended up spilling right over Starscream's helm.

"Sorry about that." The bot who spilled the drinks apologized.

"It's ok accidents happen." Starscream told them then went to clean himself up only to discover his com-link had short circuited so he and Siren were cut off.

"Scrap." He said upon reach a back room in the club. "Just a slight misshap I'll just find a public communication conceal and tell Siren what happened so he can send back up and the plan can still be salvaged."

Then the seeker grabbed a cloth to clean the spilled drinks which had mostly been Energon and oil off him, When he suddenly felt someone else helping him.

When Starscream realized who it was he felt anger boil inside him instead of the fear he thought he would feel when he saw the femme who had held him prisoner in her basement then tried to kill him, And nearly killed Knock Out, The femme who was the reason bots were trying to kill him and his friends the one responsible for all his problems.

"Get away from me!" Starscream snapped as he batted her servos away from him. "Don't ever touch me again!"

"Don't be like that I heard about your medic friend and tracked you down to offer my condolences." Night Rain said in mock sympathy. "And you should learn to keep those outburst in check and maybe we'd still be together."

"WE NEVER WERE!" Starscream screamed at her. "You kidnapped me, tried to kill me, almost killed Knock Out and hired the bot who killed Ratchet, I don't want anything to do with you, I just want you to leave me and my friends alone!"

"If you would've accepted my love to begin with none of that would've happened, but you rejected me and now you have to pay for it." Night Rain hissed and their was no missing the venom in her voice.

"That isn't love, you can't force someone to love you, especially not by locking them up and trying to kill them and their friends!" Starscream barked at her.

"I came down here looking for you because I wanted to kill you and end all of this because I want to protect my friends and because I'm still angry at you for all the fear, the pain and the nightmares I wanted to end you to make it stop, But now I only pity you because I realize your sick and need help." Starscream said letting his wings drop.

"That's what they said at the hospital." Night Rain told him with a dark edge in her voice. "And speaking of hospitals, Did Knock Out cry when his daddy died?"

That did it, The next thing Night Rain knew Starscream had her pinned against the wall with his servos around her neck cables, She slashed him across the face with her claws.

This distracted Starscream long enough for her to break out of his grip, But to say Starscream was mad would be an understatement, And unfortunately the seeker's rage was clouding his judgement.

And he didn't see Lockdown come in behind him until the bounty hunter grab him in a bear hug manner from behind pinning both his servos behind his back.

Starscream continued to struggle with him trying desperately to get out of his hold then started struggling harder when he saw Night Rain take out a syringe and start to approach him.

"Don't worry just something to calm you down." Night Rain hissed as she gave him the shot in the neck cables, Then she led the way as Lockdown carried Starscream.

Starscream weakly tried to struggle with the bounty hunter for a few more minutes until whatever Night Rain had injected him with started to kick in and everything started to feel farther away, As the drugged seeker fell unconscious and was taken out the back exit of the club.

To Be Continued.
