POV Flowstone
Shockwave is not at all what I expected. Most 'bots think he is cold-hearted and cruel. I think he is just misunderstood— that under all of that icy demeanor, he has a heart... 'He hasn't shown it yet but I hope he will,' I thought optimistically, while staring at a wall, waiting for him to catch up.

POV Shockwave
The kid seems to be waiting for me. 'Extremely illogical' I thought. I walk up to Flowstone and wave my servo in front of his face plate. 'Is he broken?' After a few seconds he snaps back to reality, looking dazed. "Did you destroy my lab?" I said quietly but with force. He came fully out of his thoughts and nervously squeaked, "Yes..." I grew angry but, stopped myself from yelling at the young mech. "May we go check if any of my equipment survived?" I said with a menacing undertone. "O-okay," He whispered then continued boldly, "But you have to take me with you!" "Logical reasoning, let us go." 'Ugh younglings... I hate relying on others for information...' I thought as I was driving behind the youngling. He was supposedly leading me towards my lab. But then again I do not recall this terrain. In the aspect that I somewhat trust him, hopefully he will not lead me a stray...

POV Flowstone
The entire drive there Shockwave had his gun pointed towards me. I knew it was disabled, I knew that! That doesn't make me feel any better. I don't think he knows his gun is disabled... Soon I realized... We had arrived. "We're here." I whispered, not wanting to disturb the silence. I looked over to see Shockwave solemnly staring at the remains of his former home. I looked at the ruins finally seeing the destruction we caused. My eyes widened as I came to a realization. Here at this location Shockwave was creating life, and we took that from him. I thought about that for who knows how long. I heard a grunt that knocked me from my thoughts. I turned and saw Shockwave digging through the rubble try to find any remnant of his research. Perhaps if we had left him be he could have discovered a way to make protoforms from scratch. I felt horribly numb at that moment.

POV Shockwave
I noticed that Flowstone was staring at me, and waved my servo at him. 'Why did I make that illogical gesture towards him?' I though inwardly, 'Never-mind that, I must search for my data pads.' I started to walk farther into my once-glorious lab. Apparently my footsteps snapped the youngling to attention as he followed me at an increasing rate. Just as he caught up with me, I found my passage to my database. As soon as he saw it he was silenced, as this was the only area untouched. I punched in the code with my digits making sure he couldn't see, and the hatch opened, retracting into a passageway that could fit Megatron. I went in and he followed me into the darkness.

POV Flowstone
I felt uneasy as I followed Shockwave into the dark tunnel of stairs. I looked up and saw jagged stalactites hanging from the ceiling. There were some I could touch if I jumped high enough. But with the atmosphere in this imbedded staircase, a sense of dread started to arise. 'Why am I willingly following him?' I fearfully thought. Just as that crossed my mind, I saw a light piercing the edges of Shockwave's limbs.

POV Shockwave
As the youngling cowered behind me I could practically feel the anxiety radiating off him. So young, so weak, so naive. 'You can't test on him, you like him too much,' Said a quiet voice in the back of my head. 'Who's there.' I thought. After that nothing was said, nothing was heard. Just the *drip* *drip* *drip* of the stalactites. I just stood there, waiting. Waiting to hear it again...

POV Flowstone
I was surprised when Shockwave came to a stop nearly out of the tunnel. It was  such a sudden stop that it almost made me run into his back plating. I tried to edge around him to get a look at what he was staring at; but to no avail. I wondered what he was staring at. I wondered and wondered and wondered, 'till I could wonder no more. Fed up, I tapped his shoulder pad as lightly as I could. He swiveled his head violently towards me, and said, "My thought process just now was... illogical."

POV Shockwave
"My thought process just now was... illogical," I said unsurely, remembering the voice I heard. "I don't like the sound of that," whispered Flowstone cautiously. Suddenly the guilty screams hit me like a train. I collapsed to the floor. With one thought 'Stop the screams!' I had unintentionally turned on my emotions in my processor. I heard one last voice before the screams drowned out everything. "Help! Somebody help!" Said a voice before I passed out.
