      (Y/n)'s nap had lasted a good hour. She was jolted awake from her comm, Megatron's voice ringing in her ear.

      "Sweetspark, I'm assuming you're taking a nap. You never came back from laying Bishop down, but it's time to wake up now. Soundwave found the location of a stray Autobot with a human pet."

      (Y/n) rose to her feet, slipping her shoes back on. She looked over the crib to check on Bishop. The baby hadn't really moved much, his big and soft cheeks squished against the pillow. He had a bottle in there with him and some toys and a blanket on top of him, should he wake up and not wake his mother.

      Pressing a kiss to two of her fingers and gently pressing it against Bishop's temple, she turned and left the nursery. Calling four Vehicons over to guard the nursery, (Y/n) didn't feel entirely okay with leaving her baby alone. "Wake him in an Earth hour. I want to try to get him to sleep longer tonight."

      The Vehicons nodded respectfully before (Y/n) walked away. Finally pressing her finger to her comm, she spoke. "I just got Vehicons to guard the nursery. Talk to me, where are you?"

      "Main observatory. The Autobot Soundwave found was Arcee with the human Jack."

      (Y/n) couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at that. Rayne hadn't made any sort of appearance in the last year, but then again no Autobots had. "Alright, any sign of injury?"

      "Frustratingly, no."

      (Y/n) arrived at the main observatory quickly. Soundwave, Megatron and Starscream were crowded around the monitor. Starscream was the first to look back. "Well, look who's up."

      "Yeah, you try giving birth surrounded by aliens." (Y/n) glared at the seeker. Their relationship was complicated since Dreadwing's death.

      "Hey, I wasn't insulting you! No need to come at me with hostility!"

      "Well it's kind of hard, seeing as that's all you ever do." (Y/n) sneered, falling in line between Megatron and Starscream.

      "Not in the past Earth year! I thought we put these things behind us?"

      "I can't, Starscream." (Y/n) looked at the monitor.

      "Why not?" Starscream pressed.

      "Because when I see you, I see Dreadwing." (Y/n) turned to glare at him, then turned back to the monitor to find Arcee and Jack dodging shots.

      Megatron growled. "How long does it take to exterminate a lone Autobot and a human pet?!"

      "Well, in my experience-" Starscream started.

      "Not a riddle, Starscream." Megatron snapped.

      Starscream chuckled. "Sorry."

      That gave (Y/n) a twinge of guilt. Starscream faced enough already, and he deserves to find some form of solace somewhere. She winced to herself. Being a mother has made me soft. (Y/n) thought to herself.

      (Y/n) watched as Arcee transformed and rode underneath a gas station. (Y/n) furrowed her eyebrows for a moment before gasping. Jack had already begun to pour the gas out when (Y/n) slammed her hand on the comm button.

      "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Get out of there!" (Y/n) screamed.

      Too late. Arcee shot the gas once Jack was a safe distance away, blowing up the station. (Y/n) let her mouth hang open for a moment before taking her hand away from the comm button. The flames obscured Laserbeak's view, causing Megatron to cry out in frustration.

      Megatron and Soundwave turned to leave and receive Laserbeak. Starscream however, stayed behind. (Y/n) stared at the screen, overtaken by grief. She had no idea why she suddenly grieved for every Vehicon loss; again she blamed it on motherhood.

      Starscream came up behind her, making her speak. "If I had just pressed the button sooner, I..."

      Starscream placed a servo on her shoulder. "You did all you could do, Commander."

      (Y/n) looked down at the floor, then up to Starscream, then back to the floor again. "Thanks, Starscream."

      Starscream nodded and patted her shoulder a little before turning away. (Y/n) looked at him over her shoulder. The twinge of guilt came back. "Starscream, wait."

      The seeker stopped and turned around.

      "I'm...I'm sorry for snapping earlier. I really shouldn't. This past year you've shown great loyalty to me and Megatron, and you have never tried to take Bishop or put him in harm's way." (Y/n) turned a little to look at him fully.

      Starscream let a little genuine smile shine through, optics holding a shimmer of hope. "Is this your way of telling me you...forgive me?"

      "It'll take a little bit but, yes. I need to start doing so, anyway. Anger won't bring Dreadwing back, and it won't undo anything in the past. Best I can do is move on." (Y/n) began walking towards Starscream.

      "So...friends?" Starscream smiled.

      (Y/n) chuckled and nudged him as she walked past. "We're working on it."

      Like she thought, their relationship was complicated. Or somewhere in her, a long lost part of her, felt like it was finally time to start the process of forgiving. Or maybe, it was all because she felt guilty for him.

~*~*~*

      Megatron, Starscream and (Y/n) all watched Soundwave repair and look through Laserbeak's files.

      "Did any of the surveillance footage survive?" Megatron asked desperately.

      Soundwave didn't answer, indicating a no. Starscream sighed.

      "Shame. We might have at least learned which direction Arcee and Jack fled."

      "Clearly we need to improve our methods of hunting Autobots," Megatron growled. "And build upon the tactical advantage that we've managed to secure."

      "Lord Megatron!" Knockout called from Megatron's comm. "I am ready to return to Darkmount, and I'm certain you'll want to see what I have uncovered."

      "Soundwave, open a spacebridge portal." Megatron asked.

      All four of them turned around to face said portal when it opened. Knockout and a few Vehicons came back through, Knockout holding a proud look on his faceplate.

      "I find myself in urgent need of good news." Megatron walked forward, (Y/n) and Starscream following. "So please, Knockout, tell me that you found something useful."

      "Some things, my liege. And, someone." Knockout grinned, bowing before stepping to the side.

      Heavy footsteps rung through the spacebridge, a big purple and black mech walking through. One of his arms was only a cannon. He had one optic and no intake, no other indication of emotion on his faceplate. Starscream gasped and cowered behind (Y/n), looking at the mech in fear.

      (Y/n) nodded to Starscream discreetly, their gazes meeting, before she turned back to the new mech. Megatron seemed enamoured.

      "Shockwave." Megatron chuckled and grinned. "Just the tactical advantage I need."
