Saving Light

Chapter 9: Partners

"So..." Asked Soundwave, as his brother made out from the space bridge carrying the Prime in stasis. Shockwave nodded as his antennas perked up, the silent con returned the gesture and join his brother on a walk to his quarters.

"But know it's going to be risky, for the both of you." He stated, as the scientist just looked ahead of him.

"I know, and I'm willing to take that risk." Shockwave said as they made it to his quarters. The brother parted ways, Soundwave hesitate but kept on walking. Right now wasn't the right time to tell Shockwave about his relationship with Megatron. The scientist gently placed his sparkmate on the berth before going to his desk to get some work done. He worked for the next hour, without the Prime waking up without him by her side. As he finish the last few things on a datapad, he turned around to face Firestar resting peacefully. Shockwave noticed that her insomnia has gotten better as he made his way to the berth and lay down by the resting prime, wrapping his cannon around her frame and going into stasis. The next morning, Shockwave got up early to head to the lab, but he gave Firestar a kiss on her helm before he left. A couple of hours later, the Prime woke up to be greeted by knocking on the door. It was Soundwave, bearing energon for both him and her. He let her talk about how Shockwave sparkmated with her and so on and so forth.

"So, how do you feel being sparkmated with the scientist Firestar?" Asked Soundwave as the Prime sat on the berth while Soundwave sat across from her in his brother's chair.

"I feel smarter." The comment made both of them laugh.

"But have you and Megatron sparkmate yet?" Asked Firestar as she swirled the cube of energon she had in her servos. Soundwave just shook his head, the Prime nodded in understanding the situation.

"Do you miss being with the autobots?" Asked the faceless con, the Prime nodded her head as she finished the last few drops of her drink. She wondered how would the bots act that her sparkmate is the illogical Decepticon scientist.

"When the autobots attacked, they had a new member. Do you anything about her."

"Why are you asking me, she is still the same bot as before. But only upgraded." Soundwave was about to take a sip of his energon when he realized something.

"Arcee, really!"

"Yep, I just hope she doing what I asked her to do." Firestar said, as Soundwave nodded. Understanding what was on her mind, he stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. When Soundwave brought up Arcee, she started thinking of her. the Autobots, and especially her father, who knows nothing about how she is doing due to the fact she cut off the bond with him so long ago.

The young Prime knew this will be the last time she will step foot in her quarters. For she can gaze into the future seeing her days now lay with the deceptions. She finished packing up the last few things into the box before sealing it and placing it under a floor tile. After she covered up the box, she went to her desk and wrote two notes. One note, on how to cure her dad's condition. And the other directly goes to Arcee.

Dear Arcee,

What a show I put out there huh? But anyway, I need you to do a few things for me, ok? For starters, I found the cure for my father's condition. And I want you to be there for him, trust me. Without me there, he won't act as a Prime would. I've seen how he and you act towards each other, hopefully, you guys can become something I've always wished for. Anywho, I will miss you and hopefully, we will see each other again. Stay strong for me and my dad, please.

P.S.

Hope you like my parting gift :)

-Firestar

The Prime folded to note and put in the envelope. She also cast a spell, when she reads the last words to herself or out loud. She will become someone that she wants her to be, a stronger yet taller warrior.
