"Do you like it when daddy hurts you? Huh, little girl?" A grunt was heard and then something shattered. "I am tired of the disrespect I receive from both of you. Men are above- women kneel and listen to men. I am in charge."

Soundwave felt something tug at his neck and he gasped for breath.

"Daddy stop it! Stop it!"

Then another voice, "I won't do it again, let her go!"

With great effort, the communications officer forced his eyes open and found himself staring into a pair of  blue eyes. This fleshy before him, strangling him, had black hair and pale skin. There was no remorse on this mans face as he continued to strangle him.

A femme suddenly came up from behind and smashed something against the mechs head. On impact, the object snapped in half and a small scream emerged.

"Stop! Just let us go, what happened to you?" The woman sobbed. Soundwave was suddenly getting released. Panic filled his entire being as the femme was punched in the face.

Her head cracked against the flooring and she went still.

"Momma! Daddy stop it let her go!"

Soundwave felt impelled to move. With little hesitation, he grabbed for something-anything-around him and felt a sharp object prick his hand.

Perfect.

The mech had the femme by the hair now, and had a fist raised as he continued his assault upon her fragile body.

Soundwave rushes forward, feeling nothing but anger and pain and so many negative thoughts rushed through his processor.

He caused all of this.

He doesn't love us anymore.

Nothing will be the same.

He's going to kill momma.

The mech screamed in agony as Soundwave slammed the sharp piece of metal into his helm. The force was enough to knock him out.

The femme woke an hour later.

The mech never woke up.

Guilt became overwhelming, and Soundwave let out a strangled cry. Suddenly, he felt himself dropping. Panic enveloped his entire being as another scream was heard.

Then, he was at peace.

BEEP.

BEEP.

BEEP.

It was constant in his ears, and overwhelmingly annoying. Pain filed his helm and Soundwave was quick to grip it in his servos as he slowly tried to sit up.

Despite his efforts, he suddenly realized that his arms and servos were strapped down to a berth. Everything aches but he'd felt worse. Where was he?

Lazerbeak wasn't responding to his calls.

Even more terrifying- Lynlee was not next to him.

Panic made him jerk at his restraints as he frantically looked around.

The femme had disappeared. Whisked away and then gone. His visor blinked as he tried to locate his coordinates, but nothing was working.

Soundwave's body shook with anger as he looked around, suddenly realizing where he was. The only reason he would be unable to locate his coordinates, was if he was under a field of protection- such as the Autobots use to keep their base a secret.

"Bulk, I don't think he's very happy."

The voice made him snap his helm to the left. There, up above. A human femme, and two mechs. From beside them, the Autobot Bulkhead froze.

"Yeah, no. I'm not up for this interrogation thing. I'm gonna report to Ratchet."

"Bulk! Think of all the dents you can put into his metal! It was going to be so much fun. I even had a monologue for you planned out!"

Soundwave watched the human child as she huffed at him. "You're lucky, I guess. Bulkhead would have knocked some dents into you. But then again, Ratchet isn't exactly a ball of sunshine either-"

"Miko! How about we not upset an important, and dangerous, Decepticon? Don't you have something better to do? Like homework?" The tall mech stated firmly.

"Jack, you are not my foster parents, or my biological parents, yet you somehow sound like all four of them combined. So please, just stop talking."

The little one pushed up his glasses. "I mean, he is right Miko. Soundwave is dangerous. And you haven't been the smartest around him."

"Like giving him an axe." Jack points out.

"That was ONE time!" The femme, Miko, moans out.

Soundwave faintly remembered that.

"Ep ep ep! What is with all this? Children, you should be at school."

"It's Saturday, doc. I've only been here a few months and I've already gotten that down. You're slipping"

Soundwave found himself looking at Wheeljack, the other Autobot wrecker other than Bulkhead. He vented slowly before trying his restraints again.

Lynlee.

What was happening to her? No doubt Starscream was behind this. He'd had his suspicions from the very beginning- Starscream was weak, but not a complete idiot. He knew how to get what he wanted.

Why did he want the femme?

A thought struck him as he felt the energon hum from within his storage compartment. Yes, that could very well be the reason.

"Hey! I'm talking to you." Wheeljack spat out. Soundwave felt a servo grasp his face platings. "What does it take to get a little information out of you, Decepticon? I assure you, I can get you talking in a sparkbeat. Vow or no vow."

Ratchet suddenly stepped forward. "Bulkhead, being the children home, and have Arcee come back from patrol."

Something sharp touched the platings around his neck. "Tell me, Soundwave, where is the Nemesis? What is Megatron plotting?"

Soundwave gave a blank stare. His visor suddenly shut down, turning completely blank. Wheeljack cursed and Ratchet presses down harder into his metal platings.

"Optimus may be merciful, Soundwave, but I am not. So you had better tell me before my leader returns. So help me-"

"Enough." The baritone voice sounded, silencing everyone. Soundwave growled as Optimus Prime finally stepped into the room. Wheeljack stepped aside, goofily saluting.

"Boss bot."

Optimus completely ignored everyone as he made his way forward. He looked worn out- tired. Something Soundwave never imagined this glorified leader to act.

"I will ask you once, and once only. Where is the child?"

Ratchet's jaw dropped. "Honestly, Optimus, of all the information we could recieve; the last Omega key-"

Soundwave felt the sharp pain leave and Optimus looked down upon him. "I simply wish the child to be safe. Whatever Megatrons demands are, we will do. Tell me where the child is, and I will release you back to your master."

Soundwave blinked. "Child- wearbouts...child...mi-misisng."

Optimus narrowed his eyes. "Missing?"

"Femme missing. Soundwave holds-n-no important information."

"Yeah right." Wheeljack rolls his optics. "You practically gold the Nemesis' entire data base in your helm." He grinned while talking the side of his own.

Soundwave closed his optics as he tried to think his options through. If the Autobots didn't have Lynlee, that meant Starscream still had her, or Lord Megatron himself would have his servos upon her spoon.

He couldn't think about it.

"Soundwave... went against Megatrons- o-orders. Human femme eradicated:failure."

Optimus vented. He knew it would be difficult, as Soundwave was a bot of little words. But the stress upon him was becoming too much.

Guilt was oppressing him. He had to save that child this time. She shouldn't have been in Megatrons hands to begin with.

This was going to be one long interrogation.
