To the Edge (TFP Megatron x F!Reader) ✔️

Chapter 5

Warnings: slight cussing, literally attempting to blow up the Autobots

Ooooh you're so stuck in a predicament!! Things are heating up *rubs hands together evilly*

Let's see where this goes.

~*~*~*

      The three went back on the ship, and Megatron sent Starscream off with a dismissive wave. (Y/n) couldn't help the feeling of relief that poured over her. She clutched the handle of the German Executioner, refusing to say anything until she was certain Megatron was out of earshot. Even Starscream seemed to be a little unsettled by his presence, and (Y/n) didn't blame him, he was intimidating!

      "So that was...maybe the worst first impression I could ever give our leader." She gulped, squirming on Starscreams' shoulder plating.

      "Knowing Cybertronian mythology and understanding the ancient texts definitely earned some points in your direction, though." Starscream replied earnestly.

      "I guess, but I was deducted a lot for not being Cybertronian. That was what I already expected, though." (Y/n) shrugged.

      "It seemed like he was going to keep you on the ship, I've known our master for a very long time. The glint in his optics was one of interest, and usually that isn't too good." Starscream grumbled the last part.

      "Too good for you, I presume?" (Y/n) wasn't even trying to be witty.

      "Sometimes." Was all he said.

      They fell back into a silence, not comfortable but not awkward either. (Y/n) finally stopped squirming and allowed her mind to wander as Starscream walked, not caring where he took her. It went to Soundwave, and the bond they had formed over the time she'd spent here.

      "Soundwave would prevent me from being kicked off, right?"

      "Just because Soundwave has undying loyalty to Megatron, doesn't mean it's reciprocated." Starscream walked into one of the ground check rooms.

      That did not help. Megatron had to have some respect for Soundwave, right? It couldn't be one sided? Soundwave is the third-in-command while Starscream is second... (Y/n) thought. Jaw clenching, she decided not to try and cross an unfinished bridge. She'd deal with whatever problems she had one at a time, when they presented themselves to her. As if Soundwave could read her mind (she was convinced he could) he appeared in the room. Strutting over to Starscream and (Y/n), Soundwave focused his attention on the teen.

      How did you like meeting our leader? Soundwave asked via his visor.

      "I guess it was fine, a little intimidating, but fine."

      Soundwave put a servo over his visor, mimicking laughter. (Y/n) gasped. "Don't you laugh at me!"

      "Yes, she finally grew silent under Lord Megatron's daunting gaze." Starscream teased.

      "So did you!" (Y/n) shot back, earning a few laughs from the other Vehicons around the room.

      You'll get used to it. Lord Megatron will be around more, and I'll be sure to tell him to be nicer.

      "No, no no Soundwave, I swear-"

      "Commander Starscream, (Y/n)! We have news from the Vehicons in the mine below. Intruders are mowing down the troops, and making their way to the transport fast." A Vehicon spoke with urgency across the room.
