A Three Sided Love

Blitzwing/Mercenary! Reader

(A/N): The winner of the poll from many, many years ago! Sorry for the long... long wait. Hope you enjoy! Wrote as a female oriented protag, but can easily be male or they/them.

"You destroy my ship, all of my equipment, and somehow you have the nerve to tie me up and keep me prisoner?” The femme growled as she struggled in the restraints Optimus put her in a few cycles ago.

“You are on the most wanted list on Cybertron and both the Decepticons and the Elite Guard are after you,” Optimus informed.

“How about you come with us? If you behave until we get back to Cybertron, I’ll put in a good word for you with Ultra Magnus about your release.” Optimus offered to which (Y/N) scoffed at the Autobot.

“As if I’m going to be staying here. Neither of you Autobots or Decepticons can hold me down for long.” She exclaimed while struggling in her restraints.

“It’s either that or being left out in space where the Decepticons can find you. Think of it as redemption. I’m not asking you to join the Autobots, but help us when we need it.” He finished. (Y/N) thought about the offer for a brief moment.

“It’s not a bad offer… not bad at all. I don’t have any mode of transportation and it’s better than being trapped with a bunch of psychotic Decepticons or some stuck up Autobots. At least he has some sort of kindness even though it sort of backed me in a corner.” She thought.

“Fine… I’m keeping you to that Optimus Prime…” She grumbled as he took out his ax and cut her restraints. (Y/N) stood up and stretched her cables.

“Whoa… who’s that?” Sari questioned, looking curiously at the femme in front of her.

“That’s (Y/N), the most infamous mercenary in the entire galaxy!” Bumblebee exclaimed. She sent him a glare in which he went and hid behind Bulkhead.

“You two shouldn’t mess with her. Who knows what she can do to young bots like yourselves.” Ratchet warned. The two backed away from the mercenary. (Y/N) leaned against the wall and closed her optics, remembering why she was on the run in the first place.

~Flashback start~

“You’ve done well (Y/N).” Megatron complimented as the soldiers took away a bound bot.

“You fraggers! Let me go!” The bot struggled as he was taken to the next room, leaving (Y/N) and Megatron alone.

“It’s just another job. Give me my credits and I’ll go.” (Y/N) said, not wanting to stick around more than she needs to.

“What’s the need of credits when you come back doing more missions for me?” Megatron questioned as he stood up from his throne.

“What do you mean?” (Y/N)’s optics narrowed in suspicion at his attitude. He stopped in front of her, grabbed her chin and tilted her helm upwards.

“Stop working for everyone else and work for me. Join my elite ranks in the Decepticon Army. You will earn all the credits you want if you fight by my side.” Megatron offered with his slick smile.

“Slag no! Who do you think I am?!” She exclaimed with anger in her voice.

“I never thought you would be foolish enough to decline an offer from me. I’ll warn you now. If you walk out of here, I’ll have a bounty placed on your helm at the highest reward. You’ll be hunted by both Autobots and Decepticons all over the rim of the galaxy.” He threatened.

“I’d like to see you try Megatron.” She smirked as she ran out of the room. Alarms blared all over the Decepticon Headquarters.

“Anyone who captures the mercenary (Y/N) will be greatly rewarded! Be sure that she doesn’t escape.” Megatron’s voice rung through the halls.
