Forbidden Connection

=CH 32= Loosen Up

                      I awoke to beeping. I opened my optics and looked around. I was on a berth. I looked over to see Ratchet at my side, checking my vitals. I flinched all of a sudden, feeling a shocking feeling. "Careful, Nemesis. The stun guns did a number on you." Ratch stops me. "Optimus, he's awake." Optimus walks over and stands at my side. "Are you alright?" He asks. My body locks up for a half of a second and I nod "My body seems to lock up a bit... but I-I.... I'm fine." I space out as I lock up again. Optimus roars his engine and the room goes completely silent. "I told them not to. And yet they still hurt you." He growls.

                      I calm him "I'm fine O-Op... timus. It's just a few locks. I'm.... fine." I begin panting from the locks. It was similar to a human with hiccups that hurt like heck. Optimus helps me off the berth and brings me to an area slowly. I locked up a bit on the way. Optimus was highly careful that I wouldn't lock up as much as I couldn't stand. He sets me down and looks over to the 3 that I attacked when Silas controlled me. "Nemesis is not a threat." He growls. "He is as equal as any of you. Do you understand?" I lock up a few times as he said that, not intentionally or out of fear of course. The 3 bots nod and apologize. To Optimus. Not me. I look away, locking up once more. 

                  Optimus looks to me "I will be right back. I'm going to grab an accuator massager to undo the locks that you are having. Stay here. And autobots, do not attack him." He leaves and I sit there. I kept my gaze away from the 3. I then heard the female bot "Just because Optimus let you in the base does not drop the fact that you ran me over and knocked out these 2. She stands up and I move backwards, locking up a bunch. "Oh quit the act!" She growls.

                  I tense up and Optimus stomps his foot, grabbing her attention. I lock up quickly and stay still for a few seconds before loosening out and having a lock up again. Arcee walks away and Optimus watches her as he walks to me. He slowly turns my back to him and turns on the gadget. "Try to stay loose." He asks. I nod and the tool vibrates against my armor. I hum in approval as it loosened up my accuators and such. I lock up a few times but it was only aftershock effects. He finishes and I rotate my limbs so they don't stay in place and lock up forever. I rotate my head in a circle, cracking my neck. I retract my mask and stand up. A few small locks come over me but it wasn't that bad. "Better?" Prime asks. I nod.

                     Optimus looks to my shoulder "You're symbol is offly roughed up." I look to the plating "I never considered fixing it because I wasn't one of you." Optimus sighs "Prove to me that you can fight along side us as an autobot and you may earn the title." I nod and my mask ejects, hiding my blush on instinct. I found him quite attractive and that gruff and deep voice only made it more difficult to stay in line.
