Soundwave was taking care of work, sifting through reports on top of reports. Each vehicon had their own writing style, Steve always ended his with a note of gratitude to Soundwave for reading it, it was nice to be thought of more than just a screen to talk too. Starscream snarled to himself as the door to the information room opened, speak of the devil... Soundwave mused. The infocon didn't face the seeker already knowing why Starscream was here. "Ugh! I can't believe this!!" He said in a huff, he acted like such a child it was amazing. "Of all bots I'm the one who gets beaten! Why not Knockout! Why not you!!" Starscream realized he said too much when Soundwave just turned his helm to him, his visor reflecting Starscream, he was standing in a frightened pose as his wings were held high in fear. Soundwave would've laughed at him and his expression but he held back as the infocon looked forward at the screen. "I- I don't mean it as any insult but you have done worse! You've tried to kill him!!" Starscream said pointing an accusing digit at the infocon, that almost made Soundwave chuckle... almost. The time Starscream was talking about were Soundwave and Megatrons arena days, when they fought to the death and Megatron met his one equal in battle. After that Soundwave gave his loyalties to Megatron and they promised to fight once more... the good old days, now he had to sit here and listen to Starscream drag on about his horrible day, if Starscream saw him in the arena he would fear him just as much as Megatron himself. Soundwave was merciless and cared not for how his opponent died as long as it was painful and made sure to get the message that Soundwave wasn't scared of who fought him or what, he will win and you will die the same agonizing death.
With that said Soundwaves lists of opponents were always small, not a lot of bots had the gears to take him on. "-but he doesn't care!" Starscream almost yelling brought Soundwave to reality and he almost groaned, just shut up... he didn't need this right now. He needed to get on Megatrons good side so he can leave again and kill Bumblebee and bring back Blades not this! The temptation to just kill Starscream right there was strong but he acted against it and continued with his work after about an hour of ranting, Starscream left and Soundwave sighed. Thank the primes above. That saying always made him feel... weird, being alongside Megatron when he killed all the primes as he himself even killed a few, made it feel weird to say it or think it in this case. He didn't regret killing them far from it he enjoyed every minute of their agonizing screams he still had the audio recording but sadly the prime of beasts had headbutt him and in the process broke his camera for the time. He got it fix of course but still, he wished he could go back and fixed it, but the past was the past and it wasn't going to change. As Soundwave worked he would zone in and out of thought and this was usually took care of work just... in and out of reality, the only thing anchoring him to work was the tapping of his digits against the holo-pad. After a while the door into the room slid open and Soundwave was half expecting Starscream again, after a moment of nothing he turned around seeing Megatron just staring from the door way, staring. Soundwave turned his whole body giving full attention to Megatron, the warlord never came to him except for reasons regarding information and needed supply lists so this visit was slightly strange so soon after the argument.
The silence seemed to drag on, was Megatron hesitating to say something? Or was he just trying to make Soundwave talk first? "Have you ever thought about what if things were different? The war I mean." Megatron spoke almost softly his rough and dark voice sounding like he didn't want to be at such a tone, Soundwave was surprised the question was Megatron some kind of drunk or had too much dark energon? Was Soundwave going crazy did he finally snap!? "Heh, you must think I've lost it. I noticed we never actually talked any more..." A long pause entered the room. "You'd still consider us friends, right?" Megatron looked at Soundwave almost pleading for an answer... Soundwave though they were going through a rough patch and they barely- no never spoke about anything other than information about the war Soundwave still thought as Megatron as a friend. A slight nod was Soundwaves answer almost making a smile spread a cross Megatrons face. That was it, Soundwave and Megatron just stood there in a comfortable silence. The warlord himself didn't fully know why he came here just to make to sure Soundwave still liked him? How weak... maybe it was the lack of recharge or maybe he just noticed Soundwave and himself were a lot alike, they both liked an Autobot after all... Soon enough Megatron left, leaving Soundwave confused.
Megatron and Soundwave never spoke of that moment...
Else Where
Blades was sitting in Bumblebees room he could hear the muffled voices of the other bots outside, if he really tried he could understand what they were saying but to be honest he didn't care. His mind was in the past, Dani was probably missing him... the whole rescue team was probably missing him, it was kinda hard to think of anything else but home. He missed it so much and wished he never chased after that bright light in the forest, he rested his helm on his open servos. Blades if he could just stop himself he wouldn't be in this situation! He'd be off having fun and getting scared over going too high, getting too close to the ground... Blades almost forgot his T-cog was even working since he hasn't used it in so long. It doesn't matter though from what he heard from Bee he'll be home soon... but those words felt empty.He knew deep down he was probably never going home...
AN
