Megatron's Vehicon

Silent Feelings

B6 woke up the next day to his protoform kicking inside of him. He groaned and tried calming his little one down by rubbing his stomach.

"I know you want out my little one, I want you out too." he sighed, thankfully the kicking subsided for now, B6 sat up and did some of 80's work for him. He glanced passed the report on the recent energon mine he was listed for, instead 80's had taken his place. He'd seen millions of reports like this, Megatron was still clearly searching for him, B6 wondered why he hadn't just stormed through his door, though he couldn't help but be thankful. B6 almost dropped the data pad as he doubled over in pain, his protoform had just unleashed a mighty kick into B6's abdomen. 

"Argh, what are you doing in there?" he asked rubbing his now sore tanks. B6 huffed in annoyance as a knock came from the door, he wobbled up and stood behind the door, instinctively listening first.

"It's 80's." he heard from behind the door, the typical line he heard when 80's passed by. B6 opened the door only to see it wasn't 80's, it was the silent mech, Soundwave who must of used a voice recording of that line. B6 gulped, dread filled his body and as soon as he saw the dark visor he kept the door opened with a mere crack to hide his slightly bloated frame. 

"Soundwave! What can I do for you?" B6 asked hiding the large bump in his tanks behind the door.

"Find and locate B6, discover his status and whereabouts." B6 heard the silent mech play Lord Megatron's voice. Soundwave hated having to replay that message in his mind, it tormented him that he had to find a Vehicon for Megatron, one he knows was used, one that seems to have taken Megatrons processors to the pits. If he could rid Megatron of these thoughts he's be happy. 

"I-I'm fine thank you, now you may go back to Megatron." B6 tried shutting the door, tried. But Soundwave forced it open and looked at the Vehicons stomach, he then looked back at the mech. The dread that was filling B6 now filled Soundwave. This trooper was more than likely carrying Megatron's genes through the protoform, now Soundwave, for once in his life, didn't have a clue on what to do. 

"Please don't tell Megatron! He'll shoot me through the spark chamber and crush the protoform!" B6 pleaded with the mech trying to get an ounce of sympathy, Soundwave stood for a very long time, considering the choices. The Vehicon was correct, Megatron had strict rules aboard the Nemesis, and how could he, Megatrons third in command, his most trusted ally, let Megatron dwell on the fact that Megatron had broken his own rule?

Then again, how could he lie to Megatron about B6's status? How would he recover from that mistrust? How could he even keep that secret? He was incapable of lying to Megatron, not just as his superior, but as someone he would gladly follow down into the pits if he even asked. Someone he felt deeply for.

Just then a hint of jealousy stung Soundwave, how he wanted what this Vehicon had, the sparkling of Megatron being held under his own spark. But he couldn't harm them. Anything even to do with Megatron was sacred to Soundwave. So then and there he made his choice, nothing feeling right in his spark. 

"B6 was not located." Soundwave said in his neutral robotic tone.

B6 made sure he heard right, B6 fell to ground on his knees in sheer shock and relief right in front of Soundwave, 

"Thank you." B6 breathed out all the stress he held inside and felt relief. He'd heard stories about Soundwave's promises, now he had to place all his faith into this. But he felt relief nonetheless. As soon as B6 looked up again Soundwave was already gone, but he could hear frantic pedesteps to coming to his door.

 80's came running through the door and skidded down to give B6 a hug on the floor.

"Are you okay? As soon as I heard Soundwave was here I came running." He urgently exclaimed. 

"It's all okay 80's, he's said he's not going to tell Megatron." B6 sighed once more.

"He isn't? Can we believe him?" 80's asked skeptical.

"I think we can. Something about it told me he was being sincere."

"Yes but..." 80's trailed off "What will happen when the sparkling comes?"

"....." B6 didn't answer, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there." He finally said.

"If you think you can do that." 80's said placing his now relaxed servos on B6's shoulder plates. "I thought you were a goner." 80's admitted.

"So did I." B6 said with a grateful chuckle. 

Soundwave stood before Megatron, his spark had fallen into his tanks as he relayed his announcement.

"B6 was not located." Soundwave said once more. Megatron sat on his throne with his servo covering his face.

"Any idea where he could be?" Megatron asked pissed off beyond belief. 

Soundwave could only shake his helm. If he spoke he would've cried out to beg Megatron to stop this search, how he would willingly and gladly take the Vehicons place and be with Megatron whenever he pleased! But he couldn't. Fear took control of Soundwave once more, the fear of rejection a second time from the mech he called master. 

The two cons heard the clacking of metallic heels and internally sighed as the SIC waltzed through the door.

"Was I not invited to your little meeting?" He smugly asked as he injected himself into the conversation. 

"This matter does not concern you Starscream." Megatron spat out the name like an insult. Starscream withheld a huff as not to be beaten into oblivion, again. The meeting quickly wrapped up thanks to the unwelcomed presence, and all three cons went their separate ways. Soundwave went to continue his duties, Megatron went to dwell on the matter more in his own time, and Starscream followed his own suspicions and began an investigation.
