think up wicked lies

Jul 12, 2010 07:36

WHO: Shockwave, Vector Prime (and open to Soundwave who is looming around the room anyway)
WHERE: WaveHouse
WHEN: ...will edit in the date later
WARNINGS: Angry Thirteen old robot is angry.
SUMMARY: Slipstream told Vector Prime one of Shockwave's secrets. That Shockwave experimented on Vector's brother back on Cybertron. Vector wants to talk about this. Shockwave does not like this idea. Vector visits WaveHouse for this talk. Soundwave looms around and listens because he's protective of Shockwave.
FORMAT: Words.



It's his own fault, he knows. He is the one that experimented on Alpha Trion - although it was necessary. He was the one that told Slipstream of his experiment, of the Thirteen's name, and she had gone and told Vector Prime. She had kept his secret of flight hidden for so long, so perhaps he had thought that she would not have mentioned it.

He had been incorrect, it would not be a mistake made again, nothing of any significance would be told to her.

There was only one person he could trust with anything, and that had been the first person he went to when Vector had contacted him; Soundwave. The other Deception's words were... comforting. That the other would not allow his death again, and would be displeased if he got hurt. That he wished to be present when Vector came over. Even. That he was fond of him. Something of which Shockwave felt in return, something he'd never thought possible. Even if it had not been his idea to have someone present when he met with Vector, he would not have told Soundwave no.

But having Soundwave present didn't calm him completely, not when he didn't know all of Vector's abilities. The stress of not knowing what Vector would do, of if Soundwave would be in danger, and of his own well being. How did you calculate what a member of the Thirteen would do, when you did not have all the facts? All he could do was guesswork, and he'd never enjoyed that. Shockwave had almost taken to pacing around the living room waiting, but logically that would not have helped his stress. And probably would have started up an awkward conversation with the communications officer that was hanging around with him.

Instead he found himself flopped over on the couch, head buried in a cushion. Vector had assured him that many things were possible. Including things breaking. He had to come up with a plan and quickly to make sure he wasn't one of those things. What did he truly know about Vector? Not much. There was a disgruntled noise muffled from the cushion, as Shockwave attempted to put his brain to work.

Lying down was not helping his stress much either.
