Summary: Idea came from Bunny 37 on this post
Placing a hand on to the yellow helmet, Soundwave looked down at Bumblebee’s prone form with concern. Hook was working away at the body structure and complaining during the whole process. Understandable as he would never be working on the likes of an Autobot, especially an Autobot minibot.
But this was a former Autobot now.....
“This is beneath me. I don’t understand why you won’t allow Megatron to interrogate him. He is an Autobot after all,” said Hook.
“Negative. He’s core processor has been non functioning since the battle. He remembers nothing and it would be a waste,” said Soundwave as he stood up and glared towards the Constructicon medic. The green mech didn’t pay any attention to it, finishing up the last few touches of paint.
“Megatron is still displeased with keeping him alive. Starscream has been raving about how you have gone soft and some of the others are starting to agree with him,” said Hook.
“Let them. They do not concern me nor my creations,” said Soundwave.
“He isn’t one of yours,” said Hook as he motioned towards Bumblebee’s form on the berth, “Now, I can’t even be sure with the rest of those mini monsters that you keep around are yours’ as well.”
Soundwave’s visor flashed for a second at the insult towards his creations. Who did Hook think he was, to insulted them like that? If not for the repairs he needed for Bumblebee and Hook’s history of taking his time, Soundwave would have smacked him. Punishment would come later and maybe in a different form than physical injured. If the rate of repairs Bumblebee needed continue like this, he would be seeing Hook and be need of his help once again.
Adding the last touch of purple on to Decepticon insignia on Bumblebee’s chest, Hook let out a sigh as he took a step back, “Finish. I suggest you keep a better optic on the little slagger. Those Stunticon seem to be enjoying their toy a little bit too much and I can only do a job so many times.”
Nodding his head, Soundwave agreed with he on that. Ever since Bumblebee had came to stay with them on the Nemesis, many times had he been called by Hook or the cassettes that his little Bee was in the medical bay because of a run in with the Stunticons. He couldn’t understand it nor were those five willing to give him an answer for their behaviour. The best guess that he could have would be that because Bee was smaller and was once an Autobot. Motormaster and his followers were always more passionate toward their hate of the Autobots, mostly because of them being fellow ground ‘Formers.
But again, it seemed that everyone was against the yellow bot, ever since the accident an Earth month ago that changed everything.
It was a simple battle, a normal one between the likes of the Decepticons and the Autobots at another power plant. His oldest creation Ravage was fighting off the minibot in question and was losing the upper hand. What happened next was highly unlikely to ever happen again. Soundwave launch a sonic attack to knocked the Autobot off, but at the same time, Dirge fired his own frequencies attack at the same time. Yes, it was only at the Autobot known as Ironhide, but Bumblebee and Ravage were close enough to get hit. With being hit with his sonic attack and Dirge’s attack, it fried the minibot’s electronic nervous systems and core processor.
At seeing Bumblebee convulsing around and collapsing on to the ground, Soundwave thought that the Autobot was done for. Such a small being shouldn’t be able to function after such an event. At seeing the incoming Autobots coming to their small friends’ aid, Soundwave knew he had to move quickly as Megatron had ordered the retreat and he couldn’t leave Ravage behind to be captured. Rushing over towards his creation, whimpering next to the Autobot, Soundwave scooped up the feline cassette into his arms. That was when a small black hand reached out towards him.
“Sire...” gasped out Bumblebee softly.
A normal Decepticon would have shot the Autobot right there.
Soundwave was nothing but normal. With those words spoken and the look on the yellow minibot, a look of lost and innocence, it was a look Soundwave knew well. When all his creations had came on-line before him, they all had the same look. And as all of his cassettes, he wanted to reach out and hold him. It was a creator’s instinct. Without thinking twice about what he was doing, Soundwave scooped up Bumblebee into his free arm and took off after the other Decepticons back to home base. The faint shouting and the laser fire were of no consequences to him now. All of it was something he could deal with later.
It was the reactions from the other Decepticons he really hadn’t thought about. He knew the likes of Megatron would be displeased with him, same with Starscream. But Skywarp? The Constructicons? Even Reflector seemed to show a bit of dislike towards the new addition. The only ones that seemed to have accepted Bumblebee were his own cassettes. While it took a few Earth days, they soon accepted the Autobot as their own ‘little brother’ which warmed Soundwave in the spark. Rumble and Frenzy allowed him to join in their video games, Ravage slept beside him and Laserbeak and Buzzsaw allowed him to see their videos that only their family unit were allowed to see. Within a few Earth days, Soundwave completed adding the bonding program that all his creations had. Again, this wasn’t approved by those of High Command, but he didn’t care.
Once Hook was finished with the repairs, Bee became on-line once again and the two quickly made their leave of the medical bay. The minibot didn’t make any optic contact with Soundwave as they made their way back to their quarters, a large one that was shared by all of Soundwave’s creation.
“I’m sorry...”
A little bit startle, Soundwave glanced down to see that Bumblebee spoken up, “For what reason? There is nothing to apologize for.”
“B-B-B-But, you shouldn’t have to always come down when Hook calls you because of me getting knocked in there by those slagging Stunticons! You are always so busy with other things.”
“No need to worry. Would do the same thing if Frenzy or Ravage themselves were injured.”
“..........It wouldn’t happen if I was created like the others....”
Soundwave sighed as this old conversation came up once again. It was something he tried to avoid as it was hard to explained. How could he explained that if Bumblebee was his creation, than how come he wasn’t like his ‘brothers’ and be cassettes as well? It always seem to bug the minibot that he couldn't transformed like his brothrs, to go inside his chest and be closer to Soundwave like them.
“We shall talk about this later,” stated Soundwave as they finally got to their quarters and opened the door. Primus willing, the likes of the other cassettes will be inside and will distracted Bumblebee from the line of questioning.
“But you always say that!” whined out Bee, pouting as they stepped inside.
“Hey pipsqueak!”
Rumble and Frenzy were sitting in front of the large monitor in the middle of the room with their game station on and paused in the middle of their game. Ravage was sitting off to the side and while Buzzsaw and Laserbeak sat themselves on the monitor.
Oh thanks Primus!
Having Rumble’s yelled out his usual greeting, Bumblebee’s short attention drew itself towards his older brothers on the ground. Tackling them to the ground and tossing back and around for a bit before turning back to the newest game that Needlepoint had send from Cybertron for them. Listening to the three of them arguing over who got to play what character, Soundwave turned towards his desk to get some work done. He was getting a little lack in it with all the excitement that had been going on.
If he wanted to keep his newest creation, he would have to keep up.
