Fixit made his way over to Bumblebee along with Soundwave, "Lieutenant, may I ask you something?"
"Sure, Fixit."
"I was thinking. Would it be possible for us to have a movie night? Something that could help calm everyone down."
"Sounds good. When shall we have it?"
"Perhaps tomorrow? And what should we do with Razorclaw? He can't stay in the barracks forever."
"I'll keep a watch over him," Bumblebee replied.
Soundwave brought his visor to life, showing Razorclaw in his cell. He looked like he was in pain, the walls were covered in slash marks. Energon was leaking from his claws.
"We better go check on him."
Soundwave nodded as he followed the lieutenant. They get to the cell where Razorclaw is, "Are you alright, Razorclaw?" Bumblebee asked.
"Go away, leave me alone," he snarled.
Soundwave opened the cell door, cautiously making his way to the mech. Taking one of Razorclaw's servos he looked at the green and red mech in curiosity, "What is the matter?" He asked the mech.
"Their relationship is falling apart because of me. They're hurting because of me," the Wolf-Con growled as he closed his optics.
"It's not completely your fault, part of it falls on Metalsound. If she was more willing to resist and not give in they wouldn't be in this situation," Bumblebee says trying to comfort the mech. Soundwave nodded as he tried to soothe the pain in Razorclaw's fingers. Razorclaw looks at him in confusion.
"Nothing good will come from hurting yourself," the silent mech said with a recording.
"Yeah, I know."
"I want to help you if you will allow me to."
"Thank you."
Soundwave nodded before turning to Bumblebee, "Could you get Knock Out?"
Bumblebee nodded before heading out to get Knock Out. Soundwave went back to soothing Razorclaw's servo. Moments later, Bumblebee comes back with Knock Out. Soundwave backed away to let Knock Out tend to Razorclaw's wounds.
"This kind of reminds me of when Steeljaw tore up his room," Bumblebee states.
"When did he do that?" Razorclaw asked, wincing a little.
"Hold still," Knock Out told him.
"It was years ago, Strongarm's father forbade him from having any contact with her, he couldn't touch her or kiss her, nothing. It drove him crazy, he slashed up the walls of the room he was sleeping in and even slashed up his berth."
"Wow, the only things I slashed at were the walls and floor," Razorclaw said as he looked around the room, "Sorry about that."
"It's okay. Listen, we'll be having a movie night tomorrow night you're free to come to it if you wish."
"I don't know. Are you sure it's a good idea?"
"Yeah. Why not?"
"Will everyone be there?"
"Yes."
"It would be a good time to try to make amends with Thunderhoof," Knock Out stated as he headed out.
Bumblebee nods in agreement, "It would be. So, what do you say? Will get you out of the cell for a bit."
"OK," Razorclaw replied with a little uncertainty.
"Good," Bumblebee says with a smile as he walks out.
Soundwave stayed with Razorclaw a little longer.
"Why are you staying with me?"
"No one has to be alone."
Razorclaw pulls his ears back and blushes a bit. Soundwave sent Laserbeak to get Razorclaw some Energon. Laserbeak returned with the Energon for Razorclaw and Razorclaw took it, "Why are you doing this for me?" He asked before taking a sip of the Energon. Soundwave doesn't say a word and just watches him drink. Razorclaw looked up with a little Energon on his nose. Soundwave reached out and wiped it off. Razorclaw flinched a little but held still, "Thanks."
"No problem."
"Have you ever done anything that you regret?"
"A lot."
"Like what?"
"Like killing a lot of bots during the war, even sparklings. And I regret every bit of it."
"Do you ever have nightmares about it?"
Soundwave just nods.
Razorclaw handed Soundwave the Energon, "You can have some if you want."
"No thank you, I'm good."
"May I ask a personal question?"
Soundwave nods.
"Why do you wear a visor?"
"I scarred up my faceplate during a fight when I was a gladiator so I've been wearing a visor to hide it."
"Who were you fighting?"
"I was fighting a mech called Lockdown, he got the upper hand and cut up my faceplate."
"I've heard stories about him. He's almost as scary as the D.J.D."
"Indeed."
"Thank you, for giving me a chance."
Soundwave just nods. Razorclaw could feel himself nodding off, closing his optics he rested his helm on Soundwave's shoulder, quickly falling asleep. Soundwave just sat there watching him sleep.
The following day was uneventful, for the most part. Razorclaw was staying close to Soundwave as he reintroduced him to the rest of the group.
"Why are you so tensed, kid?" Wheeljack asked.
"I'm looking out for Thunderhoof. Don't want him to attack me," Razorclaw replied timidly.
"Why would he attack you?"
"Because -"
"Because he fragged Metalsound the other day," Thunderhoof announced from behind Razorclaw. The young mech jumped as he turned to face the other mech.
"Oh..." Wheeljack said feeling uncertain about how to react or what to say.
"I'm sorry, Thunderhoof. I really wish that never happened, if Saborfang's heat cycle wasn't affecting me I would not have even attempted to frag your mate. Please don't be mad at her, the waves that were coming off of my brother because of his heat cycle were too much."
"The matter still stands that she willingly did that stuff with you two, she wanted to do that stuff and she enjoyed it."
"She was fighting us at first, she tried to resist. But when we entered her..." Razorclaw trailed off not wanting to finish his sentence.
"She stopped fighting once you two entered her because it felt too good. I know it's not fully your fault so I'm not completely mad at you. We just need to work through this," Thunderhoof says before turning to walk over to Steeljaw and Optimus who were waiting on him so they could go on patrol.
Steeljaw walks over to Razorclaw, "Just give them some space to work things out."
Razorclaw nods, "I will. How is your mate feeling?" He asked wanting to talk about something else.
"She's feeling better."
"That's good."
"Maybe now you can settle down with a mate of your own, and not one that belongs to someone already."
"Maybe," he said quietly as he glanced at Soundwave.
"You and Soundwave got something going on?"
Soundwave must have sensed Razorclaw looking at him because he looked at the Wolf-Con. Razorclaw looked away with a light blush, "N-no, at least I don't think so."
"Have you ever been with a mech before?"
"No."
"So this would be your first time being with a mech?"
Razorclaw only nodded.
"Whatever suits you, buddy," Steeljaw says before turning around to head out for patrol. Razorclaw glanced back to Soundwave for a moment before he decided to explore the scrapyard.
"Fixit, what movies will we be watching tonight?" Bumblebee asks as he walks up to the Mini-Con.
"For the kids, we have The Ryan, Kion, Lion King, and once they're asleep we have a movie called Romeo and Juliet."
"Oh I love the story of Romeo and Juliet, Raf read it to me one time because he was studying it in school."
"What's it about?" The Mini-Con asked. Bumblebee explains to him the story.
"Are you talking about Romeo and Juliet?" Steeljaw asked coming in from his patrol. Fixit rolled off as soon as he started crying.
"Yes. Do you know the story?" Bumblebee replied.
"Just the bit Metalsound told me, she said the thing between me and Strongarm reminded her of it."
"Well, we'll be watching it tonight after the animated movie for the sparklings. How's Strongarm doing?"
"Good, I've been wanting to check that story out. She's doing better."
"Will she be up for movie night?"
"She's looking forward to it. In fact, I would have a death wish if I tried to stop her," Steeljaw chuckled.
Bumblebee chuckled, "Well, I look forward to seeing you tonight."
