(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 25

Alright guys, as you might have guessed, FirstAid is also becoming one of the main characters of the story. (That was a surprise even for me. And yes, I'M the writer) but again: HE WILL NOT BE SOUNDWAVE'S PAIR (just so you remember.)

That is why some FirstAid in the beginning of the chapter and later Soundwave again.

Soundwave's secret (Transformers)

Chapter 25.

After having witnessed a rather unexpected screen, Ratchet was now in the main medbay room, his student cleaning some tools close by. The older medic gave the mech a short glance.

That incident happened a while ago.

The moment Ironhide, Jazz and him entered the room full of ex-Decepticons, FirstAid standing in the middle of them was not what they had expected. So, no wonder that even a gasp required several clicks. Ironhide was - Ironhide and Ratchet was sure that the black-armored mech's highest level of surprise was the only reason for cannons not to be activated. Jazz, probably for the first time avoided any comment, kept silent, the amused grin crossing his face.

As for Ratchet, he, personally, found nothing amusing. As much as he had agreed that investigation of Soundwave's personality and the group of her followers could have been a good idea, he was not yet ready to offer his full trust. Circumstances were different again and that meant Soundwave's own approach could have changed as well. Her not forgotten talk with FirstAid was not proving anything. But the Chief Medic wasn't sure his student realized that... The moment FirstAid noticed the newcomers in the doorframe he was clearly confused and gave the most simple answer,"R-Ratchet, sir, I was checking Lazerbeak's damages."

"We have it from now on. You are dismissed."

What else could Ratchet tell him?

The medic looked at his student again. Soundwave and Buzzsaw had been escorted to Prime, other simbiots were still in the far medbay room. With Ravage sitting in the corner...

What was FirstAid thinking about?! Forget Soundwave's odd character. Beast's look should have been enough to scare him off. But no. He had been standing there and patting this bat's helm!

"FirstAid..."

The young Autobot put the tools aside and raised his optics at his mentor.

"How long have you been with Soundwave and the others?"

FirstAid blinked but decided to ignore the suddenness of the question,"Not long, just checked the details of Lazerbeak's wing. Moonracer had checked others before."

"Did they talk to you?"

The younger mech blinked again,"Ahm, yes..."

"What did they say?"

"Well... Nothing special," he then gave a short laugh rubbing his helm," Soundwave doesn't talk. At all. And Lazerbeak is not keen on strangers, younglings too, but-. Well, Buzzsaw and Ratbat are friendly-."

But then he stopped. Ratchet was very attentive and had done no move, what was strange and that made FirstAid realized if he had said something wrong.

"I just thought- It was a usual procedure..." He tried to explaine himself but Ratchet cut him,"What about the panther?"

"Ravage? Nothing. He just watched."

Then Ratchet finally signed.

"FirstAid, you should understand... Soundwave and her simbiots are not like us. To be straight, we know nothing about them and that short period of cooperation we have had might be just temperer."
