Ratchet X Cybertronian Reader

An old friend

"Brother, can't I at least go out for a small flight? I've been stuck in this ship since Cybertron went dark." I complain, putting a servo on my hip planting. "No. You know that it is too risky. I cannot afford to lose you." Megatron says while walking toward the door. I guess he's already grown tired of his visit, especially since I always ask to at least go out and stretch my wings. "You might if I die of boredom in here." I huff while glaring at his backstruts. "Why don't you make up with Soundwave then. I'm sure then you wouldn't die of boredom." He turns slightly to look at me while smirking lightly. I roll my optics at his comment, especially since he always has liked Soundwave. "Never. He and I were over a long time ago." I glare at him more, trying to make the message as clear as possible. The Warlord and his third in command always think that things would change. I refuse to get back with him, not after how much the war has changed the mech I knew long ago. 

Without another word, Megatron leaves me to my empty habsuit, the same old boring room. I would try to escape or go out for a bit but Soundwave always gets in the way. He always groundbridges me back into this room. I sit back down on my berth, trying to think of possible escape plans. I may only be gone for not even a cycle, but some kind of adventure would be worth it.

 After a while, there is a commotion outside in the halls, which sounds like a strangely familiar voice. It sounds like they are trying to get in contact with their base, must be an Autobot. I go over to the door and wait quietly. Hearing them stop on the other side of the door I have it open and pull them in, covering their intake. The doors close quickly after I pull the orange and white mech in.  

I move in front of the door after letting him go, finally looking to see who I pulled in. "Wait for a klik. Ratchet is that you?" I question while smiling, feeling joyful for the first time in a long time. I see his optics widen. "(Y/n) is that you?" He questions, in disbelief as well. "Y-yea it's me. It's been a long time." I look away for a second, glad that he remembered me. "What are you doing here though? If Mega-aft catches you then your done for." I huff lightly, glaring at him lightly. "It isn't like I chose to be here. Whatever the reason is it doesn't matter. I just need to get off this ship." He huffs out, same old grumpy Ratchet that I used to know.  "Well, I think we can help each other out then," I smirk lightly at him, causing him to raise an optic ridge. "I get you off this ship if you let me stay with you. I've been stuck on this warship for far too long and I want my freedom back." I explain, hoping that he would agree to the deal. "Fine. Just don't make me regret this, (Y/n)." Ratchet sighs lightly. 

"Well let's get a move on then!" I cheer excitedly, grabbing his servo and pulling him out of my old habsuit. I pull him along the corridors, having us avoid the troops. Thanks to my numerous attempts to escape I at least know what times and halls are good travel times that no troops around. Making our way down the halls we get closer to the top flight deck. 

Suddenly a groundbridge opens up at the end of a hall that we were currently at, causing us both to stop quickly. We watch as Soundwave walks out and stands in our way. "Scrap." I hiss out, still holding onto Ratchet's servo. I let go of his servo slowly and walk towards Soundwave. If only I had my weapons, then I would know that I can take him. "Are we going to do this the hard way, Soundwave?" I question while glaring at him. I'm met with no reply as usual. I sigh lightly at this, knowing that in my current shape that I have no chance. "How about we make this easy. Groundbridge Ratchet somewhere safe and I'll go back to my habsuit without a fight." I try to reason while him, wanting Ratchet to get away safely. "(Y/n), you don't-" Ratchet begins to speak but is cut off when a groundbridge opens up next to him. "Ratchet, just go." I turn to look at him, trying my best to sound disappointed.

Ratchet goes through the groundbridge slowly, stopping and looking back at me halfway. I smirk and take a wrench, that I stole from Ratchet, out of my hip subplate and throw it at Soundwave. While he's off guard I quickly transform and fly through the groundbridge. I transform once more and land on the soft ground looking at Ratchet. " I can't believe you still carry wrenches." I snicker while smiling. He rolls his optics once more and calls for a groundbridge. Looking back Soundwave has now recovered from the hit and is coming towards us. Luckily, Ratchet's friends open a groundbridge quickly and we go through. 

I look around at the open base of the Autobots now that we are in safety. I hear blasters power up and see several different Cybertronians holding me at gunpoint. "Wait, she's a friend of mine. She helped me escape from the Nemesis." Ratchet defends me, causing the others to look confused and lower their blasters. Well all but one, the big red and blue one just looked at me. He seemed familiar, I wonder if I knew him before.
