(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 6

A figure waited in the corner hidden by the shadow, while a group of four running Autobots passed by and disappeared turning to another corridor. Their steps were still heard when Soundwave's visor blinked as she stepped out of the hidden spot and continued her way.

The whole base was searching for her.

Siren has stopped not long ago. Lights were still blinking in the gray metallic walled corridors of this area. Soundwave acted simply but very clever. Autobots even helped her by being distructed by their own talk. Who would have thought that fooling them might be that easy? However, Soundwave knew it was just the beginning. Making off the secured base couldn't be easy, even for her. The energy level was decreasing slowly and she hadn't even strated the action yet. Time was warking against her.

Soundwave was a Decepticon. How much truble could a 'Con bring being inside of the Autobot base?.. More than you can imagine. Distruction, assailing and what not. Still, most of the possible actions would lead to Decepticon's captivity or might even end up by deactivation. But Soundwave was skilled and clever. If the femme wanted to make Autobots wish they had never captured her, she would use one or two tricks of hers. That was why 'Bots were trying hard to find her. The First Communication Officer was counted as one of the most loyal Decepticons, but was she that loyal as everyone thought? Actually, Soundwave has made her best to make others think that way. Unexpected, right? She wasn't loyal to Megatron. No. And she would never risk her life trying to cause distraction while being on her anomy's base.

Soundwave not being loyal to Megatron, was a difficult thing to imagine. The stereotype of this 'Con's loyalty was too strong, as well as other ones were. These stereotypes gave her a stabile reputation, they gave her power and they gave safety as much as it could be gotten.

It didn't matter that others thought about Soundwave the way they did. This wrong beliefs were their own mistake.

As for Soundwave, she didn't accept most of Decepticons' ideals and ideas. She had her own processor to think and analize what was happening in the world around her. Her becoming a 'Con was a long story... A lot had happened, and this femme started playing using her own rules, while only her simbiots new about this... Then why didn't she give Autobots the information they wanted? There were several reasons...

Right now, she needed to get rid of the servocuffs preventing the transforming ability.

She prepared the long sharp digits and plunged them in the weak spot of fastenings. Pulling servos in different sides created the needed strain and cracks widened. Several moves and the wall hitting that followed made enough damage for the details. Servocuffs collapsed on the floor and Soundwave was free to move.

The corridor she was approaching should have been leading to the lounge. Soundwave hoped that was the right one.

She quickly turned the corner and her spark flinched.

The femme made a step back. Three Autobots in the centre of the corridor. HotRod, Blurr, Cliffjumper. Was no time to react. Their blasters were already activated aiming at her.

"Servos up, 'Con." Blurr ordered his optics narrowed. It felt like the time stopped. Decepticon had no way to escape. But... Soundwave straightened up. Making blasters providently brighten more, the thin servo moved reaching the visor. There was one thing that could change the situation in Soundwave's favor. The confusion of others may bring you control over the situation... Soundwave breaved out trying to cool her engine and relax her spark. Compressed air was released and the visor was off.

Other Autobots hadn't have opportunity to find out about what happened during the interrogation yet.

And now... Was this a femme standing in front of them?!
