Megatron's twin

71: Bit of Both

I got a call and accepted it. It was Ratchet and no doubt, he knew.

"Don't tell Optimus." I told him.

"Oh, so you know what you did was wrong." Ratchet hissed.

"It made Megatron happy." I told him, "And I got out of trouble." I added.

"That other human was Megatron?" Ratchet said, full of surprise.

"Yes, don't tell Fowler either." I said.

"It's not like you can stop me." Ratchet challenged.

"I'll take Egg back." I hissed, I knew they had formed a bit of a relationship.

"What? NO! Take her now and it could be life threatening-"

"Life threatening?" I repeated blankly. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'LIFE THREATENING?' WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" I screamed at him.

"Nothing bad-" He started.

I cut him off. "IF YOU HURT HER, I WILL TEAR YOUR HELM OFF!" I shrieked and tried to reach her through the spark-bond. Nothing.

I had never been this angry. "MURDERER!" I screamed.

"No. She's just in recharge." Ratchet argued.

Megatron interrupted, Why are you so angry?

No reason. I said calmly and left.

"Recharge? YOU MEAN IN A COMA? ON THE VERGE OF DEATH?" I panicked.

"No she's fine, and she'll be very pleased once she wakes up." Ratchet said and I slowly cooled off.

"Ok, good." I huffed. "And like I said, don't tell Optimus." I said sweetly.

"Ok." Ratchet said and ended the call.

I silently flew back to the Nemesis and once I did, I headed over to Predaking.

"What's up hot shot?" I said also transformed and digit-gunned him.

He rolled his optics and transformed. "Not much." He said.

"Good, because I can make it a whole lot better!" I sang happily.

"Oh?" He asked.

"Yup. You-" I pointed at him, "Me-" I pointed at me. "In the berth-" I pointed to the entrance.

He blushed furiously, transformed and flew off.

I felt rather satisfied, then frowned. Why can't I be so forward with Optimus?

He'd make me face a wall or a time out... Worth the risk. I could pretend to have high grade, I'd get off easily! I'll put that on the list of things to do.

I already kind of did that...

Well, I drink high grade all the time, so it should be believable. Anyway, I made my way to my berthroom and opened the door. I did not expect someone to already be there.

Soundwave stood up slowly and faced me.

"Hi." I waved, he put a smile on his visor in greeting. "What are you up too?" I asked.

He pointed to the far corner of the left wall. There was nothing, I raised a ridge. He knelt down and pushed it. It was like a little cat door! But Egg's size!

I peaked in, there was a little nest. "Did you make it?" I asked.

He gave a small nod.

"Thank you!" I got up and hugged him, he did not slide away this time. He let me hug him!

Laserbeak wasn't to happy, he was sandwiched between me and 'Wave.

"Where?" Soundwave asked once I let go.

"She's working on her social circle." I nodded vaguely.

Laser beak flopped of Soundwave and lapped over to the flap door, it was a good hiding place for Egg too. He squeezed himself in.

Then we spent the next half and hour trying to get him out. Once we did, Soundwave glared at him, as if he was silently scolding him.

Might as well save him from some lectures. "Egg will be so happy!" I exclaimed drawing attention to myself.

Laserbeak flapped his wings in agreement and Soundwave nodded.

Then Soundwave received a call and had to leave, I decided to come with him. He looked at me in question.

"I wanna come." I shrugged, he let me.

I trailed him and he walked on silently. You'd expect him to make at least a little noise. We ended up going in a room, a shady looking room.

I looked around and poked a jar, some earth minerals. "What do you gotta do here?" I asked Soundwave.

"Give a report." He used recordings.

"To whom?" I asked and turned.

A one eyed demon stood ominously at the entrance.

Shockwave.

We had a stare off, can he even blink? We walked around, clearing the doorway without breaking optic contact. We circled until I reached the door and slipped out. I spent a fair time running after that.

Then I ran someone over and we all fell to the floor. It was Knockout and Breakdown, and I had just interrupted a snogging session.

"My bad." I apologized.

Breakdown looked around, trying not to catch optic contact while Knockout looked down at his plating, utterly vivid.

"My paint!" He shrieked, a small nick lingered on his chassis.

"My bad." I said again, and ran off before he decided for revenge. I ended up in my berthroom again. I admired Soundwave's work for a bit until I noticed a rod on the floor.

I dare not touch it.

In the end, I ended up taking out my data pad and watching some of the blackmail Soundwave gifted me with.

Megatron us and Orion were sitting at a desk, discussing political approaches. Boring! I flicked past it.

A few flicks later, I found a good one.

Orion stared off longingly at a roller coaster in the distance.

"What's wrong?" Soundwave asked playing recordings, also drawing the attention of Megatronus and Ratchet up ahead.

Megatron and Ratchet were friends?

Orion nodded to the amusement park.

"And that's another reason we should abandon the caste system." Megatronus exclaimed, "Those in lower castes can't even go there!" He threw his servos in the air dramatically.

"I could." Ratchet said.

Orion's Optics lit up, "Maybe you could smuggle us in!" He said excitedly.

After a long argument, Ratchet gave in. But it did not work in their favour and they spent the rest of the afternoon in a holding cell.

(Not Ratchet, he got off the hook.)
