(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 29

In my story Moonracer is not a youngling - she is a mature femme.

And yes I know that she is not the most interesting character. Yet, I did not want to use Elita or Chromia or Arcee. Moonracer is a more neutral...

Soundwave's secret (Transformers)

Chapter 29.

It needed to be done and the sooner the better, so Soundwave and others were by the door of their quarters ready to leave for energon. The first Autobots would be off their shifts soon and the neutrals preferred to meet as few bots as possible.

But when the door of their chambers opened they were greated by surprised Moonracer having her servo prepared to knock the door.

"Oh, Soundwave-" femme gave a knowing look and smiled," I new you would be ready by now. So, let us go?"

Lazerbeak, sitting on the higher femme's shoulder wore a confused expression, same to the one Soundwave hided behind her visor. He gave her a questioning look and Moonracer, noticing that the group had not followed, realized their surprise.

"What? Did you expect to go there alone. There is no way I am letting you face others for the first time without having a back up." She stated as if her words were obvious "We are all bots - more or less tempered - it will take time for some guys to get used to your presence. Unfortunately." She added - there was not any need to hide the obvious fact. But then Soundwave noticed how warm was Moonracer's look. Was it understanding? May be. But she obviously was not trying to look friendly - she just was.

"Prime's order?" Lazerbeak asked with a lack of trust.

"No but he is informed. I suggested - he agreed. Besides, I need to get my energon too."

Moonracer gave a short look at the others behind Soundwave's back, then bereaved out and continued more calmly, making sure that her words and intonation would sound as honest as her intentions were,"Soundwave, I just want to help. There is no hidden meaning or intention behind my actions."

Of course, it would have been difficult to think of one. What could she gain - examination of their attitudes? Yet, Moonracer decided to mention it too."My only wish is to make it easier both for you, your... family and my people." Soundwave caught Moonracer's look - even with the visor on, the Autobot femme managed to look directly in her optics,"I don't ask for your trust, yet I do offer mine."

That was a strong claim...

Several ckliks passed and Soundwave nodded receiving another warm smile from the femme 'Bot. They started their walk and Moonracer grinned again at the younger twins catching up with the them.

Corridors had been still empty, at least in the parts the group used to reach their destination. When the doors opened there were just three bots sitting by one table. Moonracer went directly to the energon serving mashines and the mechs gave the newcomers just short looks, stooping their talk as they watched them for several clicks. However, the group of three kept neutral and went back to their conversation, for what Soundwave was thankful.

She took her energon cube and sat at one of the tables on the other end of the room, surrounded by her complain, back facing the Autobots. As others started eating, Ravage gave her short glance. Soundwave started at the cube through her visor.

Moonracer took another slip and stopped seeing the femme unmoving. She looked behind her - mechs were still taken by their talk. Hoist, Mirage and Jolt - Moonracer knew there would be no trouble with them. That was a luck.

"Soundwave, you know you don't have to take off your mask completely and as for these mechs - they are not the one who would cause any trouble, trust me."
