A Light In The Darkness

Little Adventures

At a month old, the two femmes were finally walking on steady feet. Megatron thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but it really did test his patience and frustration. Once Phoenix learned she couldn't get enough of running around the ship.

Elisa stayed close to Megatron and if she wandered, she only went up to Starscream or Soundwave. Elisa stayed by his side and he noticed she really liked it when the bridge was open to show the sky and the view. Her favorite was a night time view of the moon and stars as she just wrapped up into a ball in front of the monitor.

"Elliiiisa." He would call out sometimes. She just wagged her tail and looked up at him with a chirp. One day Phoenix was on top of the monitor watching her Carrier, when Elisa wondered over to Starscream. She stared at him for a few moments but he didn't notice her. She gently licked his leg and he nearly jumped with a shriek, but managed to stay calm as Elisa had done this before. He actually did scream once and scared Elisa away, earning a shout from Megatron. He looked down and saw Elisa standing on her hind legs with her tail wagging. She chirped playfully before Starscream kneeled down and rubbed her head. She arched into the touch before she fell on her side and licked his fingers. He soon turned away and tried to work, but Elisa chirped again. Starscream looked at Megatron, who was busy with his own report. He looked at a happy Elisa again and he gently picked her up into his arms. He caressed her cheek and she kept on purring before she stood up in his arms and licked his face, making him chuckle.

Megatron heard the noise and looked over at Starscream. He had to smile at Elisa's playful nature. It seemed Elisa liked everyone for the most part. Phoenix was pickier and got use to Soundwave, but she hated Starscream. She didn't mind Knockout or Breakdown, while Elisa couldn't get enough of them at times. Although he had to admit there was a lot less tension in the air with the presence of the femmes. His men seemed to be in a better mood or if they were angry they wouldn't be for long as Phoenix wanted to play or Elisa wanted to cuddle. Phoenix started to claw at him and he rubbed her head before he went back to work. Starscream placed Elisa on the desk and she just watched him with curiosity. He playfully tapped at her nose once in a while and she chirped happily in reply.
Once he was done with the report he did whatever work he could think of on the monitor so he could continue to play with Elisa, but he soon noticed the little femme sleeping. He looked at Megatron then back at Elisa and made up his mind. He had to go look over an energon mine in a few minutes anyway. He picked Elisa up carefully and she shifted into a more comfortable position in his arms before he walked up to Megatron.

"Master." Starscream stated getting his attention. Megatron arched an eyebrow at Starscream holding Elisa before he handed her to him with care. "I have to go oversee one of the mining operations, please excuse me." He said quietly so he wouldn't wake Elisa before he left. Megatron only nodded before Starscream left the bridge. He kissed Elisa's helm and continued to hold her in one arm as he continued to work.

Not a few days afterwards, Megatron started to notice a particular trait that they had inherited from their Sire.

Both femmes were going to be Primes.
Their heads were starting to get pointed horns that reminded him of Optimus Prime's antenna on his blue helm... well Elisa's did anyway as it was starting to turn dark blue. Phoenix's was red of course. He was a little worried about Elisa's behavior as he caught her frequently staring at him and when he held her, she constantly licked at the decepticon insignia above his spark. He took her to Knockout, but he said not to worry.

"It shows that the bond is getting stronger my liege. She can feel more of your emotions." Knockout explained.

"Well why is Elisa feeling it when Phoenix is not?" He asked.
