"Y/n."

Your helm snaps up at the sound of your partner's low voice, and you quickly turn away from your experiment.

"Shockwave? How can I- Oh, Soundwave? Sorry I thought you were... well nevermind." You sheepishly look down as the quiet TIC tilts his helm in hidden amusement, and he slowly holds out a datapad.

"A new task file? What's project Predacon? Does Megatron want more Predacons?"

"Statement: Inform Y/n of my new project. It is only logical that she contrubutes." Shockwave's voice echoes as a recording from a clip on Soundwave's mask with a metallic echo, and you nod slowly.

"Alright. I'll grab my kit and head over to his lab." You take the datapad from Soundwave. Quickly skimming over the first few paragraphs on the datapad, and swiping to show the next screen as you slowly quickly head towards your experiment kit.

Your deployer leaps gracefully off of your berth to greet him, a rough purr rumbling from her throat as she winds around Soundwave's long legs, and you have to hide a smile as he gently brushes his long digits over her sharp metal.

"Will you be joining us?" You sling the kit over your shoulder plate and Soundwave stiffens in surprise as you gently grasp his servo to tug him after you.

With a nod of his head to confirm, you release his servo, and walk side by side with him the rest of the way to the lab. Failing to notice in your excitement about the new project that his servo had quickly moved back to link one of his digits with yours.

"Mrowr..." Your feline deployer growls softly at the slim mech as he closes the distance between him and you, but you are still too caught up in ideas to realise that they are having a silent glaring contest as Soundwave respectfully moves away from you again at her protective growl.

5t3v3 and 8o8 watch in confusion as they see you and Soundwave walking close together, but brush it off as Starscream yells for them to get to work.

"Hey Shockwave! We're here!" You peek into the lab, your optics skimming over the empty space as your deployer sits by your pedes.

"Y/n, Soundwave, enter." His helm pops up from behind a large pod, and you curiously raise your helm to get a better look as you approach the purple scientist.

From the entrance, Soundwave awkardly watches the two of you ask you start asking questions, and his servos clench as he watches Shockwave resting his one servo on your back to guide you over to the pod across the room. He steps forwards, recieving a warning growl from the large predacon in the corner closest to him.

Soundwave ignores Predaking, moving to stand tall beside you as you awe over the predacon being compleated in the pod.

Your optic glow as you look at the predacon, and you forget about the two mechs beside you as you as you stare deeply into it's hypnotizing yellow eyes.

"Do you like her?" Shockwave speaks up, his voice questioning as you press one servo to the glass of the pod.

"Yes.. She's beautiful." Warm affection rushes through you as you watch one of the predacon's talons slowly inch up to press against the solid glass on the other side of your servo.

Fondness washes over Shockwave as you interact with the compleated predacon, and he makes a decision without thinking for once.

"Logical. I created her to be a guard. Therefore, she shall be yours." He doesn't regret his quick words as you turn to him, beaming in delight as you excitedly jump to wrap your arms around his neck in a hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you! You won't regret this I promise! She'll be the best guard in all of Cybertr- er.. Earth." You stumble over your words as you release the purple mech, and if he were to have a face, he would be blushing brighter than an Autobot's optics.

"Query: When will she - be ready?" Soundwave stitches together Knockout and Megatron's voices to form a sentance, and Shockwave turns to the closest desk, which holds a glowing datapad.

"She is ready." Shockwave turns back to the pod as Predaking strides over, transforming midway as he reaches the pod.

"My sister is ready?" His voice is rough as he peers into the pod, and he slowly switches his gaze to you. "I trust you will treat her fairly miss Y/n."

The king predacon's trust in you sends confidence surging through you, and you nod without hesitation as Soundwave gives Shockwave the space to start opening the pod.

"Of course Predaking. Only the best for your sister. she will be the most feared and honorable Decepticon in all of history!"

A hidden smile crosses Soundwave's face, and he watches affectionately as you gaze at the predacon.

Shockwave flips a switch, and with a press of a button, the liquid in the pod quickly starts to drain into a tube in the floor.

The royal blue and purple colors of the female start to show, and you excitedly watch as Soundwave helps Shockwave lift the front panel of glass and set it to the side.

"Oh wow!"
.

.

.
"Come on Steelstrike! We have to get there before Shockwave finishes it!" Your deployer is resting on your back as you and your guardian/partner rush towards the lab.

A couple of vehicons laugh in amusement as you hurpast them, and a couple cheer you on.

"Good luck Y/n!"

"Thanks 5t3v3! I'll see you later guys!"

You turn in to the lab, and accidently bump into Starscream as he and Megatron leave.

"Oh I'm so sorry sir!" You duck your head as you slip away and head towards Shockwave, who is waiting for you beside another pod.

"Y/n." Your lord's voice rings out behind you. Strong and commanding, and you quickly turn to face him.

"Yes, my liege?" Slight fear trickles through your processor, but the warlord only shakes his helm.

"Be more careful in the future."

Steelstrike gives the annoyed Starscream a wide berth as she follows you into the room, and you quickly bow.

"Of course sir. My deepest apologies."

Luckily, you are one of his more important scientists, so you don't recieve any further scolding, and Steelstrike breathes a sigh of relief as she stands beside you.

"It could have gone worse."

"Indeed. It is illogical to run here. Do not anger our superiors Y/n." Shockwave expresses slight concern as his single, bright red optic checks you over for scratches from bumping into Starscream, and his servo reaches out to gently trace one digit over an almost invisible scratch on your shoulder.

You shiver at the feeling of his cold digit on your shoulderplate, and slow pede steps from Predaking is what snaps the two of you from your staring at each others optic(s).

"Steelstrike. Shall we?" You turn as Predaking becons your partner, and you give a quick nod of approval.

The two leave the lab, their voices fading to silence, and it's just the two of you in the lab now.

"So Shocks, what today? Are we going to finish the next predacon?  

"Yes. Shall we?" He imitates Predaking as he sweeps his arm canon in the direction of the second pod.
.

.

.
"Y/n? Are you- I see." Shockwave turns to face you as he finishes his part, and sees you slumped over your desk in recharge.

A sigh leaves his non-existant dermas as he walks to you, and he looks over your finished work.

"It is illogical to rest here. Y/n you must wake up." He gently taps one of the sharp spines on your backstrut, but you remain in recharge.

Thinking for a moment, he hesitantly reaches out and slides his arm canon under your legs, and his servo under your shoulderplates, lifting you easily from your chair to carry you.

He takes one last glance at your messy desk, and leaves the lab. Holding you carefully as though he may break you if he isn't gentle.

"Statement: Shockwave - let me - take care of her." The voices of the red medic and his navy blue assistant ring out with a slightly metalic echo behind Shockwave, and he turns to see Soundwave  with his arms outstretched to take you.

Shockwave thinks for a moment, before speaking. "Be gentle. Do not awaken her." He carefully slides you into Soundwave's arms, and the comunications officer nods before passing him to get to your berthroom down the next corridor.
.

.

.
Your optics come online slowly. Your limbs regaining feeling as you sit up, only to realise that you're on your berth, and warmth is radiation from someone beside you.

Horror strikes like snake, and you twist to get off of the berth, not yet seeing who it is.

"Y/n?" Knockout's familiar voice rings out from the berth, and your spark twists in fear. Looking back, you see only purple and dark grey as a tall, slender mech rises from your berth.

"Soundwave?! What in the name of-"

His servo over your dermas stops your words and he shakes his helm as he stretches.

"Statement: Y/n - grabbed my - servo when I was trying to - put you down. Shockwave - sent me to take you - to her berthroom."

Multiple voices from fellow Decepticons echo from his mask as he explains.

"I'm so sorry Soundwave I didn't mean to- oh gosh I'm sorry." Energon rushes to your face as stumble over your appology, and he shakes his helm again.

"Statement: It's alright. Not your fault. Didn't have to - stay."

You sigh at his words, and manage to stop blushing, but the next moment, your deployer enters the room, and sees you with Soundwave.

Her spines shoot up in surprise, and a growl of protectiveness leaves her dermas.

"No no no it's ok! He didn't do anything girl it's ok."

Soundwave takes this moment between you and your deployer to bring up a video feed of last night.

It shows him walking through a groundbridge with you in his arms as you rest. His helm surveying the room before he carefully places you on your berth, and turns to leave.

But you had grabbed his servo before he could leave, and you pulled him back. He slowly moved back to your berth, and sat on the berth next to you as he attempted to release his servo from your grasp. Eventually giving up and leaning back against the wall to rest until morning. Your servo firmly grasped by his as your grip started to loosen.

"Oh.." The blush returns as the video feed stops, and you feel his optics on you through his visor as he turns to rather awkwardly leave the room.

"Thank you Soundwave!"
