(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 31

I made some research and found some more characters that can be used as the one not liking Soundwave. I wished not to use OCs here and hopefully I won't - all characters I name DO exist in at least in TF universe and are not mine. I might change their characteristics or personalities in some ways (ok, in Soundwave's case it's a great change...).

Again these are NOT OCs.

So sorry! Writers block, no time and so on!

Soundwave's secret (Transformers)

Chapter 31.

"Just look whom we've got here..." was heard from behind the first line of the group and Soundwave felt her spark gave a nervous flinch. She felt the younglings stading behind her sent questioning and worried wave through their bond.

'Soundwave?..'

'Keep still.'

Situation was not good. Something she hoped to avoided so much seemed to be so close to happen. Having no time to condemn herself for not leaving earlier, Soundwave was trying to figure out what was the best way to avoid the arising conflict.

"Consuming our energon resources,Desepticreap?" One of them stepped forward causing Soundwave to retreat so to keep the same distance.

"Easy, Devon..." the other, much older mech warned but he was obviously not against the blue-armored one's actions.

Each moment more optics were watching from the surrounding crowd, the attention focused on the stranger and rarely seen new inhabitants of their base - the sight-scratching figures so foreign by all means.

"I can't believe that they actually let Decepticons freely walk around the base."

Soundwave had slightly bowed her visor, so her direct gaze wouldn't have been taken as defiant.

Whispers now and then coming from the comparably silent crowd suddenly seemed hissing to her audio-respecters, creating a background to the tensioned moment they were in. This cold optics of the 'leading' bot shut a freezing look stoic as his own figure, while his third companion with a smirk of a satisfied pride, stepped four steppes, his gaze touring between the bots of her own group.

"And not just Decepticons...", he announced, making sure that each audio receptors in the room heard his threateningly-amused tone, "But The Famous Soundwave and the loyal pack."

'Soundwave?!'

'Stay still.'

Soundwave ordered again, her own spark increasing the beat. These mechs were testing her. Her self-control and sanity as it seemed. She would never want a fight but even if she had, no wise bot would do such a thing is this circumstances.

They wanted her to lose it. To scare her and make her lose control. Yet, the realization of that only calmed Soundwave's spark if not much but at least slightly.

"Neutrality, they say... Hey, mechs, what you think?"

'We need to inform the higher command.'

'Or Dreadwing at least.' Buzzsaw suggested through the bond receiving a glance from his twin. Yet their attention was taken by the surrounding threat again, the detailings of the beasts nervously flinching and transforming back and worth. Their wild habits held back by their sense and Soundwave's reasonable request, flyers and the panther muted the force rising inside of them. The warning vibrations coming from Ravage's larynx, jerking end of the long tail and his impaling emerald gaze seemed to be the final factor for the Autobus in the background, to reject any wish of joining their comrades. However, Devon and Sandstorm lead the conflict, Kup being the wise observer, and the ones already standing around preferred to ignore the massive symbiot. The stoic figure of Soundwave was the main target, whose cold calmness they wished to break.
