Soundwave woke up in an unknown place, he tried to get up, but something prevented him from moving. The Decepticon began to inspect the room as far as his position allowed.

This place looked like a spacious hangar filled with various tools and instruments, he also noticed that a substance similar to a spider web had immobilized him. Only one Decepticon is capable of such a thing...

~Danger~

"Ah, you finally awake..." said Airachnid, who entered the hangar

// Airachnid! //  Soundwave turned to the spider

"Aren't you glad to see me?" she came closer "I'm very glad to meet you..."

// Vile insect! //  The mech tried to break out of its bonds

"Not so fast!" femme secured the spy with a second layer of web "Are you leaving already? But you just got here. I didn't even have time to introduce you to my new friend..."

Several armed humans in black clothes entered the hangar, led by a man with scars on his forehead and the bridge of his nose. The man walked around Airachnid and climbed onto a small platform. He looked at Soundwave and turned to the spider:

"A pretty good specimen. You said he was a Decepticon spy, right?"

"Right" replied Airachnid "Soundwave's stores a lot of useful data and I'm afraid your technologies will not crack it"

"Of course, the information would be useful, but first of all we need his details. I hope we can get it with your help..."

"And I will be happy to help you" femme approached the man "but I would like to know what's up with my dear Arcee and Jack?"

"Almost everything is ready, there's only bait left, so you still have time" the man replied

"You're so kind, Silas" the spider approached the prisoner "And now, leave us alone..."

"As you wish. Gentlemans! We need to prepare for a warm welcome for our guests"

Silas descended from the platform and left the hangar with other people. Their chatter benefited Soundwave, as he was able to partially release one of the tentacles and began to quietly cut the web.

The light in the hangar went out, leaving only a single lamp that dimly illuminated the Decepticon's head. Airachnid ran her claw over the spy's body, and then sat on his chest.

"So, where should I start? Can you tell me?"

// To begin with / Untie me / So I can kick your ass! //

"How rude. Why don't you tell me to my face?"

The spider took off the purple mech mask and put it aside. Her gaze met with the optics of a Soundwave of an extremely unusual, especially for a Decepticon, rich emerald color.

Unlike many other Cybertronians, there were no scars, cuts, or even a small scratch on his face at all, as if he had not been touched at all by millennia of war. The mech's thin lips curled in a grimace of disgust and contempt.

"Wow" Airachnid gasped "I didn't think that such a cute face was hiding under this ugly mask. It's even a pity to spoil it..." she took Soundwave by the chin "You know, you would be even prettier if you smiled at me..."

The spider synthesized acid on her claw and drew a thin line from the right edge of the spy's lips to the middle of the cheek. Soundwave's optics narrowed in pain, but he did not break eye contact with femme.
