It surely didn't take 20 pounds of plutonium to arrange a meeting between Megatron and Optimus, but it surely would have helped Shockwave's state. The two of them sat in one of the Nemesis' meeting rooms, staring at each other with surprise and utter discomfort.

Optimus: "...you know I cannot just trust you without any proof that you won't try to terminate any of us."

Megatron: "...I know"

Said the Warlord, walking to his enemy, sitting beside him.

Megatron: "You know my carrier, yes?"

Optimus: "Yes, I indeed know her"

Megatron: "...she is here, with Fireblaze and Moon"

Optimus: "She is!?"

Megatron: "Yes, yes she is, but please-"

Optimus: "That femme is unstable, you can't keep bending to her will just to appear as a good son for her, it's not worth it, none of it is."

He was so damn right, but how could he say no to the expression on his faceplate. He soon enough gave in, accepting to stand at his side during the ceremony.

Optimus: "...can our human friends come along? They'll be happy to help with any human tradition you want to add."

Megatron: "Yes, it won't be a problem as long as all weapons are disabled, I'll leave my fusion cannon, and ask Shockwave to disable his own, so please, do as much as you can for your soldiers to do the same."

That was not the answer Optimus expected, but he wasn't disappointed.

Optimus: "My team might be reluctant, but I'll do whatever I can."

Megatron: "Thank you"

Optimus' spark sank for a moment. It had been too much time without hearing those words from his friend, the last time was even before the beginning of the war, and the Prime let himself be a little hopeful that perhaps his old friend was actually changing for the better.
