Starscream growled under his breath as his master barked at a couple of vehicons. The warlord had yet to thank the seeker for his efforts in finding those Omega keys. Instead, he was glitching about Soundwave and his human.

What did he need to do to get some attention? To receive the glory and honor that he deserved?

The pointy heeled mech huffed and leaned against the wall as the two vehicons scattered each and every way, making sure their master's wishes were in order. It could be him right now, demanding allegiance from his seeker armada and storming the Autobot base.

"Starscream."

His helm snapped up towards his master.

"Yes, my liege?"

Megatron growled in annoyance. A petty thing, his second in command was.

"See to it that the vehicons mine more energon. I must see to the pest in the interrogation rooms."

Megatron watched as Starscream stalked away with the other Cybertronian's. With a scowl plastered on his face, the warlord made his way towards the interrogation rooms.

There she was- the little insect sat curled up into a ball in the corner of the room. A snarl made its way to his face platings and the human's eyes widened, no doubt staring at his full row of sharp denta.

No words were spoken as he walked forward, plucking the girl from the area in which she was trapped. It had been too hard for her to climb down without breaking herself in the process. His servo squeezed just a little bit; enough to make her whimper in fright.

Lynlee had no idea what the monster was planning, but her stomach was turning already. Both in pain and physical exhaustion.

"W-what do you want to know?"

If this crazy tin can was going to harm her, she wanted to give him what she knew. Being a weaker creature, Lynlee wanted to take some of his anger away by doing as he said.

Megatron's red eyes tore into her own as he secured her to the chains that hung from the ceiling.

"I demand to know the location of the Autobot base."

His hands reached for a long metal stick, and Lynlee flinched when he turned it on. Blue and purple lights sparked from the tip, and on the other end was a sharp blade. The girl gulped in fear.

"I-I told you before. I don't know-"

"ENOUGH!"

She felt it then- a painful zap to her side that made her scream.

"I-I am telling the truth!" Her words turned into sobs. The majority of the time, Megatron was pleased with his prisoner's weeping. But at the moment, it simply annoyed the living spark out of him.

Lynlee gasped for breath as Megatron grinned at her. "Tell me everything you know about the Autobots, pest. This is your final warning." The blade slid gently along her stomach, and she hissed in pain.

"I k-know nothing of the Autobots! O-only about you!" Her scream was shrill and out of pure instinct and panic.

Megatron raised an optic ridge and pulled the weapon away. "Do tell femme, what you could possibly know about me?"

He had noticed her absolute fear of him, though many creatures feared for their lives when around the warlord. But this kind of fear seemed different. He could feel it in his spark from the moment he laid eyes on her.

"I-I... I can't-" Lynlee suddenly realized what she had just initiated. The root of her nightmares. The pain she'd felt each and every night from this monster.

"Do not keep me waiting." His growl and the jolt of the prod forced her mouth to speak.

"I-I know about Razorwing!" She gasped out. Lynlee's head fell limp as tears fell down her face and sobs racked her body. This kind of pain was unbearable. She had faced all sorts of mental abuse from her father, but this was different.

Dead silence filled that room as Megatron's red eyes stared down at her. The room was dark already, but something filled those eyes- Lynlee couldn't quite point out what- and the red began to glow.

"I am sure Soundwave has informed you of his sire's unfortunate... passing." He smirked and used a digit to pull Lynlee's face up. She flinched backward, causing a slice right under her chin. Megatron let it slide.

"Optimus Prime has been one to fool many, but Soundwave knows better than anyone else that he is nothing but scum under any Cybertronians ped."

"T-That's not true," she whispered.

With the little strength that she had, Lynlee raised her head to face his gaze head-on. She had no idea where this courage was coming from, but she wanted to force it deep, deep down inside where she couldn't get herself killed from her stupid mouth.

Megatron stared down at the little human. "What could you possibly know?" Something close to fear, but the warlord wouldn't allow himself to acknowledge it, passed through his entire body. There was something in this humans optics.

Truth.

"I-I know what you did, Megatron." her small voice stated, "I know you killed Razorwing. And his mother. You did it. Not Optimus Prime. Not Orion Pax."
