Transformers Knock Out

Calm Before The Storm

That night Starscream stayed in the waiting room worried about his charge. He didn't even leave to get energon he wanted to be there in case she needed him.

Then Knock Out came in and joined him. Accompanied by Shayna and Pixel. Who were equally worried about DeAnn.

Knock Out handed Starscream a cube of energon.

"If your gonna protect her you'll need to keep your strength up." Knock Out told his best friend.

"Ok thank you." The seeker said accepting the cube.

"She'll make it Starscream she's strong." Knock Out added trying to comfort the flyer.

Starscream just continued to look down. The situation was taking it's toll on him.

"I failed her." Starscream said sadly.

"I should have been there I wasn't there for her!" "I'm her guardian I'm supposed to protect her!" "I wasn't there to protect her!" Starscream sobbed having finally broke down.

"Screamer even if you had been there there was nothing you could have done." Knock Out tried to reassure his friend as he put a servo on his shoulder. "Don't think for a moment this was your fault your a great guardian to her and don't ever think otherwise."

"Knock Out's right Starscream if DeAnn was conscious right now she'd tell you the same thing." Shayna added and Pixel beeped in agreement.

"I suffered countless beatings from Megatron during the war and nothing he did to me felt as bad as this does right now." Starscream said optics filled with coolant tears. "I've never felt this powerless."

Knock Out felt bad for the seeker he had never seen him hurt this much though the entire war.

Knock Out, Shayna and Pixel stayed with him in the waiting room all night.

In the morning June walked out of the infirmary and found all of them recharging or in Shayna's case sleeping in the waiting room.

Then she woke them up and told them that DeAnn was going to be fine. And should wake up in a few minutes.

"You guys can see her anytime." June told them.

And they were all relieved and Starscream cried a little more only this time they were tears of joy. Because he was glad his human friend was ok.

A few minutes later they went back to see DeAnn. The human infirmary in the base was big enough for the bots to fit into.

DeAnn was awake now and glad to see everyone.

"Oh man I knew I shouldn't have eaten that hot dog." DeAnn said to them.

"I'm so glad your ok." Starscream told her. "I promise I won't let anyone harm you again as long as I can help it."

"Don't worry Star it's not like someone tried to kill me or something." She said. Then everyone gave her a look that she noticed. "Wait seriously someone actually did?!"

Then everyone nodded.

"And here I thought I was in the infirmary because of food poisoning." She added now in shock. "Good thing I'm already laying down because if I'd been standing I would have fainted."

"Some one poisoned you." Shayna explained.

"Why?" Asked DeAnn.

"We don't know." Knock Out told her.

"I just glad your alright." Said Starscream. "Now promise me you'll never get poisoned again."

"Ok but it wasn't intentional this time." She explained. And they all laughed.
