Even Megatron has insecurities :(

Warnings: Possible uhh, "unwanted surgery"; Megatron being insecure

Thank you, stay safe, and enjoy the chapter

      (Y/n) hesitantly took another bite of edible slop from Drew. Shivering from the bitter taste, she forced it down to satisfy her hunger. It was either this or starve. Drew chuckled from beside her, setting the bowl down.

      "If I knew you were going to be this cooperative without my powers, I would have taken you months ago! I just hope you keep being cooperative, you'll need to keep your strength up."

      (Y/n) said nothing and looked away. Drew had been making weird moves on her ever since she had been kidnapped. She was adamant about being loyal to Megatron, and was also adamant about finding a way to escape. Drew frowned at her lack of response.

      "Now, now, you have to respond to me. I'm the only thing between you and possible immobility." Drew smiled 'sweetly,' tilting (Y/n)'s head back to him.

      Immobility? What is he talking about?

      Drew frowned once more, and just as he was going to speak again, Starscream entered the room. He scowled at the sight of Drew so close to (Y/n). As much as he had grown to despise her for shooting him out of the sky, he remembered all the times before on the Nemesis with her. Maybe if he was nice to her, set her free, she could have the power to allow him back on the ship...

      "Drew, your father needs you in the other room." Starscream spoke gravely.

      The teen huffed and left (Y/n)'s side. Starscream waited until he walked out of the room to approach (Y/n). He chuckled slightly.

      "How ironic is it that you lay here, just as our master did all that time ago, while you wept at his pedes? Where is he now?"

      "Don't taunt me, Starscream. I know that look in your optics - you're scheming something."

      "Perhaps. But the information is not on a need-to-know basis with you. Just know that I am all that stands in the way between you, and an arranged sparkbondage with that weird creature." Starscream shuddered at the thought of Drew.

      "...alright, mind telling me what is  going on around here?"

      "Silas explained most of it to you - wanting more information on Cybertronians and Techno-organics alike. While I don't care for his motives, I do care for his plans. He's going to attempt to cut into you, (Y/n), like you're a frog." Starscream kept his voice low.

      (Y/n)'s eyes widened. "You've gotta get me out of here!"

      "I'm working on it. As much as I despise you shooting me out of the sky, I would much rather terminate you myself, than watch someone else do it." Starscream dramatically closed his servo into a fist.

      "What's taking so long?"

      "I have my own reasons for working with them. Once my needs are fulfilled, I'm out of here as well. Yet, I cannot lead on about my plan to get you out. I have to be careful." Starscream mumbled.

      (Y/n) nodded. "Please hurry."

      "Will do." Starscream turned and left the room.

      Cut me open? Why would they need to cut me open? I look like a human at this height, I didn't even know I was half and half until Knockout took my blood sample. (Y/n) thought to herself.

~*~*~*

      Megatron had attempted to avoid his berth at all costs. Nothing could convince him to sleep. Yes, his dreams were filled with (Y/n), but they were nightmares about losing her or finding her dead. He never wanted to see such a sight again.

      "My lord, how are you feeling today?" Knockout asked. "I heard you went on a mission, what was that all about?"

      "A signal that came from an artifact."

      "What was said artifact?"

      "The spark extractor. I had lost it to that scout. If only I did more than rip his voice box out on Cybertron!" Megatron growled out, yet it held little to no energy.

      Knockout rubbed his vocal cords absent-mindedly. However, he didn't like that his leaders' normally huge  angry outbursts now held little-to-no energy. It was...uncharacteristic to say the least.

      "Perhaps you should rest a little more, my liege."

      "No! The next time you suggest that, Knockout, I will rip out your spark, without the artifact!"

      Knockout gulped and backed up as Megatron leaned forward with every word. His energy returned in his anger, something Knockout found he wished would now go away. Megatron continued to glare down at Knockout, waiting for the medic to say anything.

      When he didn't, Megatron growled. "Well? Don't you have other business to attend to, doctor?"

      "Y-yes, um- I think I hear Breakdown calling me now!" Knockout chuckled nervously. "C-coming, Breakdown!"

      Then the cherry red mech turned and ran out of the room. Megatron sighed, feeling his anger disperse from his shoulder plates and chassis. He turned back to the large window (Y/n) would look out of with him, and once more she plagued his thoughts. There was still no sign of her, Soundwave could still not pinpoint her location. Wherever Drew must have taken her, he knew what to do to keep themselves off the radar.

      The thought didn't make him angry, just unreasonably, unbelievably sad. He didn't like the feeling - it made him isolate himself. The feeling of being alone just intensified everything for him. He wasn't alone with (Y/n), he was able to vent to her and release his emotions in a healthy way. He's just disappointed with himself that she didn't feel the same way; at least in that regard.

      Maybe (Y/n) left because he couldn't provide the love she wanted? Or maybe she left because Drew could promise her a normal life? Thoughts swam in his processor, and all he wanted to do was talk to his carrier. However, his carrier had died centuries ago, (Y/n) knew that one too. He rarely told others about his gladiator past, so (Y/n) was one of the lucky few.

      Megatron shook his helm. No, (Y/n) wouldn't do that to him - she loved him! It was just one fight, she'd forgive him, right? Please?
