Hiding amongst the mountain peaks, (Y/N) (L/N) knew she would be found at some point. Whether it would be by the Autobots, Decepticons or her past, she didn't know. It was inevitable. But she liked the solitude while it lasted.
The Decepticon TIC di...

(Y/N) sat on her bed, alone and silent. She liked it but hated to admit she missed the silent presence of Soundwave. Oh, how the thought of him grated against her skull. She hated it yet could not hate him directly. She enjoyed his stoic company. It made her feel safe, at ease and as if she could finally rest without the worry of being hunted down. She had no reason to feel that way, except that for the first time in a long time someone was enjoyable to be around.
"Then why does it pain me to think of him?" She let out a sob, having been holding the tears from flowing.
After C.Y.L.A.S. failed to win Megatron's favor, it had only gone downhill from there. The Star Saber was lost to Optimus Prime, and the last four Iacon locations were leaked to the Autobots after an accident regarding an Insecticon and her delicate optics being recalibrated and upgraded by Knockout. She swore it would have led to her termination, something she both wished for and feared. But it did not, even after she questioned Soundwave about the incident.
And then more recent events. Starscream's return had been one of the more amusing.
"A- a human!" The mech had screeched upon seeing Soundwave with (Y/N) in his lithe servo. "Lord Megatron, isn't allowing for a human ally an Autobot tactic? I would believe it to be far below you."
"This human was smart enough to harness energon, of which we discovered and have since then extracted every last drop she so graciously donated." Megatron frowned at his returned Second in Command. "(Y/N) has also been of great use to the Decepticon cause."
"Yet she wears no insignia on her person?" The Seeker was doubtful of her allegiance, not only because she wore no mark to claim such allegiance, but she was a human, and they were naturally untrustworthy. To him, anyway.
"It would not be an advantage for her to advertise it if she is to go back to the Autobots once more."
"Back to the- the Autobots?! My lord this hardly sounds like-"
The bumbling mech was interrupted with a shout, Megatron being more than exasperated from having to terminate one of his most loyal followers for this coward and traitor. Since then (Y/N) had proven her worth to the mech, although he held a natural hate towards her considering Megatron would ignore him for something she had to say. He did not shower her with praise but did make it apparent he favored her allegiance from Starscream's. (Y/N)'s naturally humble nature and flat, almost emotionless expressions only fueled his hate further. Starscream had always had a mild disliking toward Soundwave but having two of them was worse. They just couldn't seem to fail.
(Y/N) wished she could sometimes. Just once, enough to earn termination and to be freed of this growing pain in her chest. It swelled when Soundwave was gone, with no explanation as to why. They held a mutual understanding of each other, though knew little of each other's pasts. They understood they were both intelligent, though the smaller of the two with certain non-Cybertronian handicaps of being human, and they were well suited to work together, it seemed. But the pain of separation far outweighed the comfortable presence of Soundwave. She hated being dependent on his presence alone, to be attached to someone who cared little for her wellbeing. She just wanted freedom again.
