The Sound of Silence [Transformers Fanfic]

They Say You're Getting Better...

“Interesting. We have results as to the drugs, substances, and poisons thanks to him. However, I must admit the combination should’ve been lethal. Note it –either he has a high tolerance for those things or somehow he’s able to be immune or kept alive. It could be that alien radiation.

 

“Next time, we’ll be taking samples of the specimen.”

 

A chorus of murmuring agreements echoed in the hollow room.

 

Sam’s eyes wearily opened, seeing the silent but familiar sight of Ratchet’s med bay to his side, meaning he must’ve been in the human section. Swallowing thickly, he forced himself to at least sit up.

It was dark and no one else was with him. The beeping of the monitor unnerved him, but not as much as the emptiness of the room. He shivered, wishing someone would come and keep him company.

“Sam, we were beginning to worry,” and the voice brought an involuntary smile to his face.

“Yeah, squishy. You’re not allowed to get hurt if it’s not by our hands,” and that just made him laugh.

“Starscream, Skywarp” Sam greeted. “Thundercracker not here?”

The two Decepticons used their holoforms to move over to his side, shaking their heads about their fellow Seeker.

“You know, if you wanted some attention, you could have just stayed by the Decepticon side of the base and then screamed. Your pet Autobots would’ve been over in less than a klik,” Starscream smirked, leaning casually against the bed frame.

Sam rolled his eyes. “You do the screaming, Starscream. I think I would rather pass out right now.”

Both of them gained looks of concern on their faces.

“Are you feeling unwell right now, squishy?” Skywarp hovered anxiously, hands fluttering and wondering what to do.

Sam immediately shook his head.

“No, no. I’m okay. I don’t feel too bad right now; I was just teasing Starscream a bit and exaggerating myself.”

But the two mechs traded looks.

“Sam, I hacked into Ratchet’s diagnoses file on you. I’m no Soundwave, but I did manage to skim it enough before I was shut out to know you shouldn’t be okay,” Starscream told him firmly.

Sam quieted down, though inwardly feeling touched and a little weird at the concern and care the two Decepticons were showing towards him. He hadn’t realized they’d cared so much already either…

While he’d gotten to know the Decepticon group a little more than he had before, and they were still a very vicious bunch thankyouverymuch, he had generally gotten the most close to and hung around the most with Barricade, Starscream and his trine, and oddly enough Soundwave. But it was the trine he’d hung around the most, though Barricade was a close second.
