I was finishing up some stuff Lord Megatron needed me to, mostly typing stuff into datapads and what so ever standing at my desk.

"Y/N, would you like to observe a Predacon?" Shockwave suddenly asked me which took me aback a little.

I cocked an optic, "...observe?"

I couldn't see his reaction but I could tell he realised what he said, "my apologies, forgive me Y/N, that was illogical."

"Oh no it's fine really," I smiled a little and raised the palm of my servo.

"I will correct myself, would you like to experience a predacon," Shockwave corrected himself, I could still hear an apologetic tone.

"Sure. Wait...but the predacon army isn't bred yet?" I suddenly remembered the project isn't entirely complete yet.

Shockwave paused for a moment, "During my time on cybertron, I worked on this project. It is in my laboratory."

I raised my optic impressed but also skeptical, "Okay, does Lord Megatron know this?"

Shockwave paused for a moment, "Not as of yet."

I widened my optics and my mouth. "Oh," I took a step back, "my", I took another step back till my pedes leaned against the lab berth, "primus...", I sat, more like slumped on the lab berth. "He doesn't know about your...wild card? Then...what were you talking about during your arrival before Lord Megatron summoned me?" I was beyond confused.

"I was explaining to them about my exile on cybertron where I was wounded, blinded and left for scrap by Starscream and how I arrived to earth. I mentioned of the project and the scavenging of predacon bones, but I have not revealed my creation until I intend to at the most...logical moment. Perhaps when all else fails," Shockwave explained his wild card.

I was speechless that Shockwave of everyone is keeping an asset, I just took a deep breath and nodded.

I pressed the 'enter' key into the datapad and headed for the bridge where Lord Megatron is.

--------

Shockwave was in thought. Firstly, he swore he could have slapped himself if he didn't watch his words when he said 'observed' in front of Y/N. He may not display emotion, but he swore he could tell when Y/N cocked her optic, she was at the very slightest offended.

But because she's Y/N, she doesn't throw an angry retort easily, but it still left him apologetic.

Next was during the conversation about his, as Y/N describes it, his wild card the Predacon. He could help but also feel something in his spark watching Y/N being more open and less stiff around him.

Something as small as Y/N reciting a flat 'Oh. My. Primus' while stepping back and slumping on the lab berth innocently with a confused facial expression made his spark flutter more.

Shockwave shook his helm brushing away the illogical thoughts once again and got back to his work, but his processor still wanders to Y/N which annoys him to no end.

---------

"Congratulations on another job well done Y/N, as always. You are dismissed," Lord Megatron praised me as I gave a bow.

"Thank you my liege," I walked out of the bridge, of course not without hearing another scoff from Starscream.

I headed back to the direction of the lab as I know Shockwave needed my help with something.

"Ahh Y/N," I turned around to where the voice was coming from, it was Arachnid.

"Yes, Arachnid?" I raised my optics slightly.

"As usual you get the best compliments from Lord Megatron," Arachnid remarked.

I had to refrain myself from throwing the nearest datapad at her, "I am just doing my job for the cause. You can go seek his attention all you like."

Arachnid scowled, "Funny...Just remember I am a higher ranking officer than you, almost second in command perhaps. Will you ever get promoted from your assistant role? I guess not, ha, cuz you're simply blind."

I vented, "Well thank you for your reminder, right now I have work to attend to so leave me alone please." I lost interest and headed back to the lab.

Arachnid scoffed, I paid no attention as I still headed for the lab. But the next thing I received was that I was webbed to the wall.

----------

Shockwave turned to Y/N's desk and wondered what kept her. He turned on his comm, "Y/N, it is illogical for you to be-."

"Hey! Get off you-!"

"Ha, not only do you lack sight, but you cannot speak as well, should I web your audios too?"

"Mmph!"

His sentence was interrupted when he heard screamings from the comm from none other than his assistant, and a treacherous femme on this ship. He also heard the sound of blades slicing webs, obviously Y/N using her blades to set herself free.

He immediately paused his work and headed for the commotion.

---------

I broke free from Arachnid's webbing through my blades wielded from my servo. I jumped back on the ground, I heard her approaching me and wielded a gun from my other servo and aimed at her.

She managed to dodge but my shot hit her side so she damaged a little.

"Ha, can't see can't aim!" She gloated as she shot at me again. I managed to somersault and evade the webs.

But she jumped and caught me off guard when she webbed my entire body and hung me upside down from the ceiling.

"Mmph!" I cried still trapped in her webbing at my mouth.

I felt her crawling on me and it was uncomfortable, I struggled against the webbing .

"You put up a good fight, but because of your condition you will never be helpful. That's what put you at a disadvantage in battle, you can't even see a rock falling on your helm!" Arachnid continued her insults. She used her spider legs she could extend and placed them on each of my cheeks holding up my helm making me struggle.

I struggled against the grip, and I began swinging from where I was hung. I kept swinging and swinging until I gained more momentum, and with one strong swing I used my body and slammed her against the ceiling.

She grunted briefly and swiftly sliced off the strand of web hanging me, causing me to fall on the ground hitting my back, the back of my helm and my aft. The pain surged through the back of my body but I had to ignore it. She used her sharp spider legs and held my cheeks again as I continued struggling against the webbing.

As soon as Arachnid was going to hurt me further, a shot of weapon flew above my helm and knocking Arachnid away.

"Y/N!" I heard Knockout which instantly I felt relieved when I heard him kneel down.

Arachnid groaned as she was grabbed by the throat and lifted up by Knockout's backup. She choked out, "Dreadwing."

"Y/N!" Shockwave yelled with concern in his voice. I heard pedes from Soundwave as well, he probably showed recorded clips of the commotion per Shockwave's inquiry.

Knockout swapped his servo and wielded his saw to remove the webbing all along my entire body. Shockwave's arms sat me up by my back and carefully, Knockout then gently sliced open the web from my mouth. I gasped when the web was finally opened and my mouth wide open, sure us cybertronians don't need to breathe air but I still gasped.

The two of them then watched as Arachnid was taken by Dreadwing and Soundwave to none other than Lord Megatron for punishment. "I will return Y/N!" She hissed as she was dragged off.

I shook my helm, "I have no idea what just happened, but that was torturous..." I vented and muttered.

"Are you hurt Y/N?" Shockwave asked as he and Knockout helped me up.

"Scrap!" I cursed. During the process my pedes wobbled a little and I almost fell but luckily Shockwave caught me. I then felt a little pain through my helm and vented again in discomfort as my servo felt my helm.

Knockout sighed in annoyance and concern for his friend with his usual vain talk, "Medbay let's go. I'll cheer you up and patch you into perfection, gorgeous."
