(Transformers) Soundwave's secret

Chapter 2

Silence. Soundwave was lying on her right side feeling her damages being healed by auto-repair system. She onlined her optics and focused on the inner side of her visor as different colored blinking text itemizes were giving the report of her condition: temporal deactivation of possessor activity, damages in protoform and energon supply systems, cracked armor, more, more and more...Time of temporal deactivation: unknown. Energy levels: 21.5% . Simbiots: not detected. Outside medical intervention was...detected? Soundwave rolled in the datas and looked through the dark blue visor at her thin blue violet servos chained by servocuffs and stared at them remembering the last events.

She was checking the communication system at the newly upgraded tunnels while her simbiots - Buzsaw and Ratbat were out to confirm the arrival of some new equipment. Then Autobots attacked and she was dull enough to be berried under the landslip. The femme offlined her optics with irritation, realizing her current location. How could she let that happen?! Soundwave was in the cell of the Autobot base, trapped like a foolish rodent and with uncountable number of Desepticon information security codes storaged in her processor... And this information, for sure, would be desired by her captors. No wonder that Autobots have treated some of the damages, they needed her online. And Soundwave's spark shivered. The visor! Nervously she turned the datas on and started ransacking for needed information. Then she read the report and relieve came to her spark: 'Visor: not damaged; hasn't been removed.'
Autobots didn't taken off her faceplate protector while she was unconscious. Good. May be they even haven't thought of doing that, because even some of her comrades believed that she didn't have a faceplate but just the visor instead. To be honest, it wasn't strange for them to think that way; after all, she hasn't shown her faceplate to anyone for a very long time, and just her simbiots knew that she was a femme. Her visor was one of the most firm parts of the armor as its destination was to hide her weak point. It would be hard to take the mask off unless she wanted to do so. Still, Soundwave suddenly felt strange. Was it a panic she had felt a moment ago? Soundwave wouldn't be able to remember the last time she felt frightened. She couldn't be frightened. She wasn't tolerated to be afraid.

Thin sharp digits were the only weapon she had at the moment, and most of the extra programs she could use had been locked by Autobots. Thanks to the bond, Soundwave could feel that Buzsaw and Ratbat were online, but because of the distance, that was the only information she could get. They must have already reached the main Desepticon baze and informed about the invasion...and... The Communication Officer being captured. Megatron will be pieced.

The Decepticon leaned on her servos and started lifting her chassis in the sitting position looking at the gray floor. The femme was being watched. There were two figures looking at the prisoner through the rails. "Hey, just look who has honored us by his presence. Did you enjoyed you recharge, freak?" but displeased voice of a young transformer was ignored. "Prepare to live your worst nightmare, 'Con." The second one added. These were Sigeswipe and Sunstreaker. Soundwave slowly turned her helm and stared at the twins. A slight orange light coming through the only bulb was illuminating their armor. Sideswipe's fire-red now seemed dark and threatening, Sunstreakers's rich yellow looked nasty and vulgar in the surroundings of coal gray room. Decepticon, like a shadow, slowly and silently stood up and made a step, then another, stopped closely to the rails as the two was mirrored in the dark blue visor. The weird silence has fallen. They were staring at each other not wanting to step back but longer this glancing continued the stranger it was becoming for the twins. Soundwave was skilled in making someone confused as the confusion of the others brings you the control over the situation.

"What yo're starin' at, freak?!" Sunstreaker's impatience defated his self-control. But no reaction was what he got... "Forget it bro. We'll deal with 'Drone' later. Prime will need someone to beat the information out of him, won't he?" Sideswipe led his brother out with a smirk written on his faceplate. The door panels closed and Soundwave was left alone. Decepticon was facing the robust rails that were trapping her inside. Damaged peds and servos were covered with scratches and dents, some part of the armor were broken off, metallic plates, fixed on the servos and which were supposed to transform into the wings, were now bended. Quiet like a ghost she turned around, made steps and sat leaning her back at the wall. She put her servos on her knees and directed her visor towards the rails, sitting in the centre of her cell. No moves, no reaction, no emotions.

"So, are we questioning him or not?" Blaster asked looking at the screen. They have been watching Soundwave through the camera all these time: Optimuse Prime, Red Alert, Jazz, Ironhide and some other Autobots. Each bot in the room looked at Optimus "Do not forget that Soundwave is a very clever and skilled Desepticon. Don't underestimate him just because he is not in a warrior class. We must be ready for anything. Still, try to not to use brute force as long as it is not needed, am I understood."

"Optimus, yo're kiddin'?! This is Soundwave! Yah, we need 'im online but he deserves some punch!"

"Not just because we need him online, Blaster. We are Autobots and let us behave so. Unlike Decepticons we do not approve violence, am I not correct? I aware that you want Soundwave be punished, but I must ask you to be above this and keep your temper under control."

"As you say, Prime. But if he tries to escape, I will knock him down." the Weapon Specialist activated his huge blasters. He wasn't joking.
"Ironhide, Ratchet informed me that Soundwave's energy levels are too low. This Decepticon isn't the one to be called reckless, so I don't think he will go on a risk in this condition. Take Prowl, Bulkhead and Smokescreen and guide Soundwave to the interrogation room. And do not forget what I have told you about using violence." Ironhide unwillingly calmed down and nodded. His blasters were deactivated and transformed back.
"Let the show begin." Blaster grinned turning his attention to the screens as others started leaving the room.
