(In which Megatron returns in a cranky mood.)
“Well if it isn’t the mighty Megatron, returning to us at last.” Starscream sneered, and as desperate as he was to get to his creations, something in the Seekers voice made Soundwave turn towards Megatron as he cornered Starscream. The Seeker continued to taunt, voice devoid its usual venom, desperate insults thrown by rote, wings snapping as he tried to drive the Decepticon Warlord away, “Returning defeated, with no energon to show for the resources wasted in yet another futile endeavour. Tell me, oh glorious leader, are you going to try and blame me for another one of your failures?”
“Silence!” Megatron roared, temper shorter than usual and unwilling to put up with Starscream’s sarcastic - if ultimately truthful - criticisms at the best of time, “I will have none of your subversive prattle, Starscream!”
A warning shot from the fusion cannon was thrown at the Air Commander before Megatron stomped off to his quarters, roaring dire warnings to any who would disturb him before he had gotten a full megacycle of recharge, “And if any of you idiots wake me for anything less than Prime’s unconditional surrender, I’ll have you melted down and turned into filter traps!”
Soundwave remained behind, staring at the crumpled form of the Air Commander. Starscream should have been able to dodge that shot. Megatron probably had fully expected the Seeker to escape unscathed. But uncharacteristically, Starscream had refused to expose his right side to the blast, even though it meant being hit.
Without even glancing at Soundwave, Thundercracker and Skywarp crouched over Starscream, checking the wound before helping their wingleader to his pedes. Displaying yet more uncharacteristic behaviour in their unashamed gentleness while doing so. For his part, Starscream did not object to the treatment.
“You alright, Screamer?” Skywarp asked worriedly, hands fluttering over the charred surface of Starscream’s left side, “Your hip’s gone grey.”
“I’m fine.” Starscream snapped, unusually shaken but hiding it well as he batted Skywarp’s hand away from his injury, “I avoided most of the blast. The damage was caused mostly by the backwash and is superficial at most. It looks worse than it is. Give me four or five cycles and my self-repair systems will have it taken care of.”
Soundwave stared. The Seekers were being openly affectionate - ‘affectionate’ by Decepticon standards at least - in public. And none of the troops that had remained behind on Cybertron looked as if it were anything new. The force that had gone with Megatron however… A quick glance revealed that the Triplechangers were just as surprised as Soundwave himself by the Seekers actions.
Shaking his head, Soundwave left the Seekers and their strangeness behind. He had to see if his creations lived.
The telepath was unaware that Thundercracker had been watching him since Megatron had cornered Starscream, and was even now watching as Soundwave quickly slipped away from the scene and headed in the direction of the officer’s quarters.

Nya~an... Sorry for disappearing everyone, but things have gone crazy IRL for me. The good news is I had fun at the convention and my school year is over. Bad news is that my grandfather had a heart attack and I'm in danger of losing my job.
Also, in case anyone is interested my birthday was on the 14th. Happy 23rd to me! ^_^
But enough of that. What do you think of the fic? ^_^
