Taming a Heart of Fire (Beast Wars Megatron AU x Female Reader)

Picking up the Pieces (Part 3)

*Y/n's POV*

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Y/n woke up. She still felt tired. She was beginning to hate the insomnia caused by Megatron. As it turns out, from what Taranchulas had told her after receiving the second blood transfusion, there was a small change that the bond between herself and Megatron may reform. It was at that point he said it would be wise to perform a spark bond. Y/n knew Megatron was dealing with the same issues as she was. She laughs a little, still a bit delirious from the late night fatigue as well as waking up rather late in the day.

She gets dressed and heads downstairs. She tells Eric that he was in charge while she was gone and that she'll be back late. Y/n takes her time to drive to Primus University. She wanted to irritate Megatron the most but she knew she'd upset Taranchulas as well. Once she pulls into the parking lot, she texts Taranchulas that she was here and that she'd be in shortly. She also texted him that she's showing up late to irritate Megatron.

Taranchulas calls Y/n. It didn't take long for her to answer. "I'd advise you to hurry to the lab. I don't know what you said to Megatron but he's really pissed," said Taranchulas.

"I know he is. Couldn't sleep at all during the night because of him until five-thirty this morning. Woke up not that long ago. I hate the insomnia he has caused."

"Just be careful when you get to the lab." Taranchulas hangs up on his end of the phone call.

Y/n would have rather avoided Megatron at all costs but she brought this on herself at this point. After a few minutes she arrives to the lab. She pushes the button on the wall and the door opens. Megatron was standing on the other side of the door.

"You really shouldn't tease me," said Megatron.

"Not interested in what you have to say right now," said Y/n as she pushes past Megatron. She walks over to Taranchulas. "So what do you need me to do?"

"I am about to graft the spark to the Protoform in the Stasis Pod. I need your help to make sure Dinobot doesn't freak out during the process and cause his new spark not to bond to the Protoform."

"Okay. So what do you want me to do?"

*Taranchulas's POV*

"I'm going to hook you up to the computer that I'll be using to make sure Dinobot's spark stabilizes to the Protoform. Ever been a part of a sleep study? Same kind of equipment used but modified for what we need to be done. I'll need your concent first since it will be kinda like an invasion of your personal space. What needs to be done is that you need to fall asleep. I'll connect you to the computer and I'll have you try to sync your mind to Dinobot's spark again and pull him into a dream-like state," said Taranchulas.

"I'll help. But if either of you try anything funny, doesn't matter if its one or both of you, I'll hurt you guys," threatens Y/n.

Megatron snorts at hearing Y/n's threat.

After a few minutes, Y/n was hooked up to the contraption that was connected to an odd looking computer. It didn't even look like it was a part of this world. Y/n closes her eyes, willing herself to relax so she could fall asleep. It wasn't long before she was.

"Now we can get to work." Taranchulas quickly gets to work.

"So long is this going to take?" Megatron asks.

Taranchulas shrugs his shoulders. "Not sure really. We never done something like this before. I mainly just don't want any erratic behavior from Dinobot's spark as I try to graft it to the Protoform." He goes over to the computer that Y/n was hooked up to. "Hopefully Y/n can keep Dinobot as calm as possible for however long this will take."

*Megatron's POV*

Megatron gets an idea. "Think you can hook me up to the same machine?"

Taranchulas shakes his head no. "I can try to pull up Y/n's dream on one of the monitors. Give me a second and go have a seat at one of the computers over there." Taranchulas points to one of the gurneys not in use. "Besides can't have you aggravate Y/n. You both are unstable when together in the same room."

"What do you mean?!" Megatron growls.

"You're in heat. So I suggest either you behave and do as you are told for once or head home and take an ice cold shower. Or better yet go take a plunge in the icy depths of the Artic Ocean!"

Megatron lays down on the gurney that Taranchulas had pointed at. "Now what?"

After typing up a few things at his computer, Taranchulas grabs a VR headset out of his desk, this one was modified to need to do what Taranchulas had intended to do. He walks over and hands it to Megatron. "Put this on and I'll do the rest."

Megatron puts on the VR headset. It wasn't long before an image, blurry at first, appears before his eyes. Soon it comes into focus and then the scene before him becomes clear. With the help of the VR headset, Megatron finds himself in a grooves of trees. They had pompom like flowers, which were light pink in color. "Wait a minute here..."

"You'll be able to see what Y/n is dreaming but she won't hear or see you and vice versa," said Taranchulas. "Use your mind to walk around."

"Now let's see where Y/n is at," said Megatron. He feels his body begin to relax as he watches the scene unfold before him as he wills his mind to explore Y/n's dream.
