It's A Love Story (Armada Starscream x Reader)

The Journey To A Prophecy

Stepping out of the shower released -one of many now- long and thankful sighs you had built up over the past month and a half.

Since arriving back on the Autobots' ship, you were given a bed, fresh meals, and a place to put your backpacks and your katana set. Right now you had just finished taking a long-past-due shower, feeling refreshed and renewed.

You got dressed and stepped out of the bathroom and into the sleeping area for you and the kids. Rad was currently there, looking at the spacesuit laid out on your bed. "So where did you find that space suit?"

You walked over, and pointed a hand to it. "Starscream found it before he left to go save me. Apparently Swindle had pointed it out to him."

"Really?" Rad seemed puzzled. He put a hand on his chin, thinking. "How did Starscream know there was even one for you when he was looking?"

You shrugged, folding the suit up to put away, as you had washed and dried it a few hours ago.

It had been about a week or two since your escape, and while you had told the kids about your stay on the Decepticon ship, you were a little reluctant to tell the Autobots anything that went on with you and Starscream, as they were still scarred by his betrayal.

Although, the exposing of Thrust, the mini cons' situation plus the reveal of Unicron had put Starscream far from their processors.

You couldn't help but worry for Starscream, even if you were certain that he would stand his ground.

You stood straight, gazing down at the suit. You briefly wondered if the Cybertron air was breathable. No one would chance that anyways. "I guess he just... Did. Maybe the other mini cons told Swindle who told him."

Rad seemed to agree as you turned and sat down on the bed. "Possibly. You know, the mini cons are the reason we ever got to go to Cybertron in the first place."

That seemed curious. "Oh?"

Rad assured his sentence. "They wouldn't let any Autobot go without us. I don't quite understand why."

You hummed in thought, briefly laying back on the sheets. "I overheard you and Carlos talking about that. You said that you couldn't shake the feeling you met High Wire before."

Rad was silent for a long while, looking down to the floor, uncertain about something. Finally, he took a big breath.

"Carlos, Alexis and I are going down to the those Cybertron tunnels."

That was a pleasant surprise for you. You sat back up. "Really? Why?"

"Didn't you hear High Wire when we contacted Hotshot and Wheeljack?" Rad recalled, you nodding your head.

"Yeah, he said that it was their birthplace."

Rad took another moment before speaking. "I want to know why we're here, on Cybertron. Why the mini cons chose us, the Earth."

Now you were silent for a time, holding the front of the frame of the bed. "....Have you told the Autobots?"

Rad shook his head. "No. And I haven't told Fred or Billy yet."

Another beat, and abruptly you jumped up. "Then count me in!"

Rad was seemingly confused by your excitement. "Huh?"

Immediately you turned around and picked up your spacesuit to unfold it. "I wouldn't miss a chance in the world to go on an adventure! A long overdue one at that."

You quickly found your katanas in their double sheath, setting them down next to you."I'll help out the mini cons. Besides, if I happen to run into Thrust, I can give him the ol' what's for!"
