Redemption

Trap

The next day Starscream was flying now that he was better he wanted to give his jet mode a work out.

But he suddenly picked up a Decepticon signal. So went to investigate it.

Once he arrived at the location he was surprised by what he saw. There was a purple and green seeker femme tied up in energon chains and gagged.

"Slipstream?" He said in shock as he ran over to free her. But suddenly Sandstorm and Cannonball opened fire on him. This was a trap set by the Star Seekers.

Starscream was now trying to fight back having managed to dodge both blast. But then when he dodged another shot from Sandstorm he didn't see Cannonball fire a blast at his spark.

He turned just in time to see it coming but right before it would have hit him he suddenly felt something else slam into him.

It was Slipstream who had managed toss herself into him and they both went off a cliff that was behind Starscream.

As both seekers plummeted to the ground the two Star Seekers got into a punch out with each other over who's fault it was that the two seekers had escaped.

Starscream woke up a while later having been knocked unconscious during the fall. He was in a river that was below the cliff it was shallow enough that he touched the bottom of it.

The first thing he did was look for Slipstream. He quickly spotted her laying in the middle of the river still in the energon chains.

He rushed over to her and got the gag off and saw her optics slowly come back online. They were dim and looked dazed.

"Are you gonna abandon me like you and the other Decepticons did on Junkion?" She asked weakly.

"I'm sorry about that Slipstream it wasn't my idea to leave you there it was Megatron's." He explained. "And that's in the past right now we need to get you some medical attention."

Then he got the energon chains off her and she started to stand up but fell back down and Starscream caught her before she hit.

And saw that she'd lost consciousness. He could tell she was hurt badly by how weak her optics looked and how her voice had sounded. And he could see where she had been shot in the midsection when she push him out of the way of that blast.

"This is Starscream I need an emergency ground bridge and for you to get the medbay ready your gonna have a patient." Starscream said over his com-link.

"No Knock Out it's not me!" He added before a ground bridge appeared. And he took Slipstream through it in a bridal carry.

They wasted no time getting her to the medbay where Ratchet and Knock Out both got to work.

While Starscream stayed in the waiting room. And explained to the others about the trap the Star Seekers had set using Slipstream as bait.

"Until we stop the Star Seekers we'll all have to be extra careful." Arcee said after Starscream finished telling them what happened.

Just then Knock Out came out and told them Slipstream was going to be fine.

Then Starscream was the first one back to see her.
_                                                                   

She was awake and setting up on the berth. When Starscream came in.

"I never thought you'd become an Autobot Starscream." She told him.
