The Sound Of A Thousand Screams

12 Reunion

Chapter 12
{A List Of Victims}
Reunion
———————————

This...

Wasn't how Starscream envisioned a reunion.

Starscream frantically tried to pry Skywarp off him while Thundercracker was standing at the corner of the med-bay still not speaking to anyone.

SlipStream was busy explaining how they survived while Skywarp was still hugging Starscream, servos wrapped around Starscream's back and lower torso.

Starscream kept trying to pry Skywarp off, his faceplates heating up in embarrassment as he felt his leader's gaze focusing on him.

Megatron's gaze was still on Starscream, focused on his wings and his expressions.
It only broke when Thundercracker nudged Megatron at the side, looking at him coldly as if to say 'Back off'.

Megatron was reluctant but obeyed, casting one last glance at Starscream before stepping back.

Starscream finally got Skywarp off him though Skywarp seemed one hundred percent ready to pounce on Starscream and hug him to death once again.

Thundercracker placed a servo on Starscream's shoulder, pulling him back a bit before Skywarp jumps on Starscream again.

"Star, I have to talk to you"
Thundercracker said, walking in front of Starscream and leaning against the med-bay wall to face him.

"Uh...Okay"
Starscream muttered, staring back at Thundercracker.

Silence filled the room.

"Alone"
Thundercracker added, staring back at SlipStream and Skywarp before staring daggers at Megatron.

Starscream turned his helm back to Skywarp and SlipStream, they both nodded and left the med-bay.
Megatron and Starscream stared at each other, awkward tension flowing in the air as the two remembered what happened in the control deck a few moments ago.

Megatron decided to leave, the slightly visible blush on his face not leaving until he was far away from Starscream.

What did that damn Seeker do to him?

Megatron continued to walk down the hallway until a sudden smack on the shoulder caused him to stop his train of thoughts and look at the bot that decided to end their fate for no valuable reason.

Megatron's dark expression softened slightly when he realized that it was just SlipStream, smirking up at him like he did something and it was obvious.

"Megatron"
SlipStream said, her smile was as smug as ever.

"SlipStream...?"
Megatron said, wondering why she seemed so smug for no reason.
It was as if she didn't shoot everything in a panic only mere cycles ago.

Megatron decided not to push it and continue to walk, hoping to leave without any regrets of not extinguishing any sparks.
Unfortunately, SlipStream didn't get the hint and followed Megatron, walking by his side with her servos behind her back and said back leaning forward to look at Megatron's faceplates, her smug grin not leaving.

"So..."
SlipStream started,
"Saw you staring at my cousin earlier..."
SlipStream side glanced at Megatron, her grin growing wider.
"Starscream, huh?"
