Kate's POV

I yawned as someone poked me with a stick.

"Five more minutes and I'll do all the dishes." I told Rose.

Suddenly I became very aware of the cool metal my cheek was pressed against and I quickly sat up, looking right into bright red eyes.

"Rise and shine, fleshy! Welcome to your first day as a prisoner of the Decepticons!" Knockout cheered.

"There is an ugly stratch on your forehead." Ellah told him dully from next to me.

Knockout's eyes widened with panic, "On my face!? My poor face!?"

He turned away and grabbed his buffer, trying desperately to buff his face. I noticed at we were once again sitting in an energon cube. I hate energon cubes.

Ellah grabbed my wrist, "You sleep like a rock, help me up."

I nodded and got down on my knees, giving her a boost out of the jar. Knockout suddenly turned around.

"Did I get i- Hey!" He reached over and tried to grab her, but Ellah cleverly kicked the energon cube I was in and made his hand hit it instead.

"I'll get help!" Ellah called to me before jumping off the table and sliding down the leg.

Knockout quickly pulled out his saw and chased her out the door.

I looked around. Alone.

Then I remembered something. Soundwave had all the rooms bugged. Which means that he and/or Megatron was probably on their way.

Ellah wasn't going to get away, but I could.

If I knew how to get out of this stupid cube!

"Pst."

I looked over and groaned when I saw Cylas looking at me.

"I help you, you help me. Neither of us really has a choice at this point. Deal?" He asked.

I nodded quickly. He was right, we didn't.

Cylas grinned before stretching his leg and knocking over the cup. I tumbled out and ran to him, before unclipping the restraints on his wrist.

Voices were heard in the hallway. Megatron was not happy.

"Uh, it wouldn't help you if I died." I told Cylas before quickly running away.

He grumbled in annoyance, but on the bright side, at least he had a free hand. Translation: Free blaster.

The door swung open and Megatron stormed through, almost immediately spotting me running across the middle of the floor.

Well that plan went horribly wrong.

He grabbed me and snarled, "I offered you sanctuary in my ship and you betrayed me! How dare you!?"

I shrunk back in terror, "Well- um- uh- I-"

"You're worse than Starscream!" He growled, tightening his grip and walking to the door.

"At least I don't wear high heels." I muttered.

Megatron paused and I mentally slapped myself for saying something so stupid out loud. He probably didn't even know what those are.

Megatron's dark and angry face turned a little calmer and he continued walking without a word, stepping into the throne room.

"Tell me, Kate, when Optimus Prime steals the star saber, what do I do to regain our advantage?" He asked.
