TFP | Soundwaves Secret *Discontinued*

Chapter Seven, Part One: Check Up?

I'm so sorry this took so long, the start of this year has been the worst for me, I've been on an emotional rollercoaster and I just haven't been feeling like writing anything.

I've also started another fanfic called "TFP: Spark Of Hope" it would mean a lot if you guys checked it out.

Anyway, I'm very sorry for how long this took and I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

It had been about two days, two long boring uneventful days, Soundwave had been so busy with his work he hadn't spent much time with the human he was keeping in his room. Not that she minded of course, Madalyn had Laserbeak keeping her company. Luckily no one had noticed Laserbeak was constantly missing from Soundwaves chassis these past two days, if they did notice they hadn't said anything, and even if they did mention it, Soundwave could easily just play it off that Laserbeak was doing surveillance.

Soundwave left out a silent sigh as he turned off the monitor he had been working on, he glanced around the room making sure it was empty before he allowed himself to stretch his sore limbs, he really needed to spar with someone or get out in the battlefield.

Soundwave started to walk toward the door, he was fully intending to go rest with his minicon and his human, he was in dire need of recharge. Just as Soundwave was about to step out the room Knockout entered making Soundwave stop and stare at the medic who was staring right back at him.

"Soundwave" Knockout greeted, a friendly grin tugging on the corners of his lips.

Soundwave merely nodded his helm in acknowledgement, he already knew what was coming.

"I want to meet her" Knockout said, his optics brightened and he rested his servos on his hips "It's not just that either, she does require a check up Soundwave"

Soundwaves shoulders slumped slightly, he knew Knockout was right, he couldn't keep putting it off. Soundwave nodded his helm in agreement.

Knockout perked up "Does this mean you'll bring her by?" Knockout asked curiously, his optics holding excitement and hope.

"I'll-- bring her by" Soundwave told him, "In the morning"

"I'll have the medbay cleared" Knockout grinned, "I'll see you in the morning Soundwave" Knockout turned and left, Soundwave noticed the skip in the medics step and shook his helm, he decided it was best to probably just go get some rest.

Soundwave stirred from his recharge when soft giggling reached his audio receptors, he slowly onlined his optics and turned his helm to take a look at the human that was making the noise. A small ghost of a smile tugged on the corners of his hidden lips as he watched Madalyn offer her teddy bear to Laserbeak who in returned chirped and flicked his wings happily.

Soundwave slowly sat up then walked over to his shelf, he picked out a decent outfit for Madalyn and laid it out on the berth for her.

"Soundwave" Madalyn's soft hesitant voice made him pause and look at her curiously. "C-Could you h-help me with my hair?" Madalyn stuttered, her eyes looked down at the berth like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Soundwave nodded his helm and offered her his servo, he watched as Madalyn quickly scrambled onto his waiting servo before he lifted her up and walked over to the shelf and grabbed her hair brush. He then sat on the edge of the berth and sat Madalyn down on his upper leg. He gently gripped the end of the brush between his thumb and index digit.

"Thank you" Madalyn whispered so quietly Soundwave almost didn't hear her.

Soundwave gave a nod and gestured for her to turn around so he could brush her hair, as soon as the human turned he started gently brushing the knots out of her long light brown locks, her hair was much easier to brush since she had washed it thoroughly.

When Soundwave finished brushing her hair he carefully braided her hair, it took him a few attempts but he managed to tie the end of the braid with a ribbon.

"Done" Soundwave told her using a recording of some random human from the radio.

"Thanks" Madalyn smiled, her touched her braid carefully afraid she'd mess it up. Madalyn looked up at Soundwave before she climbed off his lap and grabbed the clothes he laid out for her, it was a pair of black leggings, a red t-shirt and a black jacket. "You won't look?" Madalyn asked, she looked at Soundwave who already had his back to her, she looked around for Laserbeak and managed to catch a glance at him just before he reattached to Soundwaves chassis.

Madalyn quickly took off her PJ's and got dressed in the clothes Soundwave picked out for her.

Soundwave turned and scooped her up when she told him she was done, he opened up her spark chamber for her to climb in and held her close to it.

"Oh... Where are we going?" Madalyn asked, she seemed a little scared.

"Check up" Soundwave told her.

Madalyn swallowed thickly, she didn't want to see a doctor, what if she had to get a shot. She whimpered softly and clung to Soundwaves digit tightly.

Soundwave frowned behind his digit and used his free servo to gently rub her back soothingly.

"I don't wanna get a shot" Madalyn mumbled, she buried her face against the smooth metal of Soundwaves slender digit.

"No shots" Soundwave reassured her, even if she needed a shot it's not like Knockout could give her one, there was no human medical supplies on the ship. He would have to talk to Knockout about getting some just in case.

"Promise?" Madalyn looked at him, her eyes were wet with unshed tears.

"I promise, no shots today" Soundwave told her with his own voice, he didn't really like using his own voice much, but he thought it might help.

It seemed to do the trick, Madalyn nodded and crawled into his spark chamber, she took a deep breath and curled up in a ball as Soundwave closed his spark chamber, she fought the urge to touch the ball of light, it was calling to her almost but she ignored the pull.

Soundwave rubbed his spark chamber gently for a brief moment before he headed to the medbay.
