Starscream entered his room with narrowed optics and crossed arms. His face was all scrunched up from frustration and disappointment. Alexis looked over at him and saw his expression. For a moment she thought it was because she had put all her armor back on again, but once he spoke she was relieved to know it wasn’t that.

“I’m having a bad day,” he grumbled standing still where he was. “Those slaggin’ Autobots have won a battle for the LAST time!!”

“You lost?” asked Alexis getting up on her feet and inching closer to him.

With a sigh and ease of the optics Starscream loosened a bit and said—

“Yes. Megatron just can’t lead an army! That’s why we keep losing!”

“Aw, my poor Starscream,” said Alexis coming to him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders, but this caused him to tense up more.

She let go and just looked at him with worry in her optics. Starscream just stared at her with no look of pleasure anywhere. Oh what could a sparkmate do? She had only been one for a little while and still had much to learn about being one, but all she wanted to do right now was get Starscream to smile.

In her optics she was asking him ‘Please, tell me what I can do to please you?’ But in Starscream’s optics he was saying ‘Find out for yourself’. Indeed he was in a bad mood. Alexis went to touch his shoulder when he turned from her. It was strange because, if he wanted to be left alone, he’d leave, but he still resided here.

If he didn’t want to leave then what did he want? She hated seeing him like this and didn’t know what she was supposed to do. She did know it wasn’t good for Starscream to be in this mood. She then got an idea and smiled at him with a hint of devilishness in it and said—

“Let me help you to get out of that miserable mood.”

Starscream’s optics were on her now curious how she would get him in a better mood. His optics followed her body as it descended down his body. His straight face soon changed from frustrated to pleased. She really knew how to lighten his day.

It wasn’t long before the two wound up in the berth solving Starscream’s ‘frustration’. Starscream’s thoughts soon flew away from Megatron’s idiotic leadership and to his sparkmate underneath him. She was so beautiful and right for him. He was glad he made the quick choice in changing that human into something more ‘exotic’ for his tastes.

At least he had done something right in his life. None could say she was a mistake now. No matter if he was bonded to her for the rest of his life. He’d enjoy and make sure she ‘enjoyed’ it too.

Alexis only wanted to please him and for figured bonding would help. She later found out it was the secret to getting Starscream out of the miserable moods he’s always been in. Even though sometimes he said he didn’t want to bond Alexis knew all men lied when they said that. A little force here and a push here and he’d be changing his answer soon.

Men were always such liars. It goes along with mechs as well. Starscream was very much like the men she’s known before, though she’s never been that close to them she knew their moods very well. Alexis couldn’t help but smile as she figured out her sparkmate through and through.

There was no greater feeling than knowing what your bonded is really thinking or feeling. There was no greater closeness. Alexis enjoyed being so close emotionally and physically to him and she prayed no one ever take her away from her love. She remembered hoping to be found and rescued not too long ago, now she hopes they forgot all about her and accepted she was forever lost with the Decepticons.

Starscream enjoyed the closeness as well. Mostly the physical, but the emotional he didn’t mind too much. He didn’t really care how she felt about anything for he knew since she was his sparkmate she’d never say ‘no’ to anything he suggested or deny him of anything he wanted. Most human females rule their husbands with the word ‘no’.

It was ridiculous, Starscream thought. He was glad transformers were so much more different than them when it comes to being bonded to another. He knew he’d never regret turning her, but wondered if the Autobots were trying to find her. If they even dared trying to take her he’d turn them into a pin cushion! This he swore and this he meant.

That week was different for the both of them though. Starscream spent less time in berth with Alexis and more time on the battle field. For some strange reason the Autobots have been active in fighting and making sure the Decepticons were a part of it. Starscream didn’t mind the extra action, but he’d prefer, now, most action to be with his sparkmate in berth.

It was rather confusing as to why the Autobots were starting so many fights. It’s almost like they’re planning something, but what the Decepticons had no clue. They were too war-crazy to care, but on one day most of the Autobots were away when another battle was flung into action.

“This isn’t right,” said Starscream as he stood by Thundercracker and Skywarp shooting at the autobots from above with their wrist lasers. “Where’s the rest?!”

“Maybe off fighting everyone else,” said Thundercracker.

“No you FOOL!” spat Starscream turning to him slightly. “The rest are fighting with us as well!”

“Where do you think they are Starscream?” asked Skywarp.

“I don’t know but—” he stopped dead in his tracks as his optics widened realizing what all this had just been. “NO!”

He then turned sharply and took off in the skies. Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the rest of the Decepticons watched as he left. Was he deserting them? No, it was something more and so Megatron decided to retreat and follow him.

Alexis smiled as the door to her darkened room opened and she heard her name being called—

“Alexis,” it came to her a little soft.

“Starscream—I kept all my armor off just like you said,” she said with a sly smile moving down a little on the berth.

“Alexis I’m he—” was all the words he could speak as he neared enough for Alexis to grab him and pull him in bed and in a quick motion open both their spark chambers and bond.

Alexis’ smile soon vanished as the sharp jolt of something new touching her spark came to her quickly. She yelped and jumped away from Starscream . . . but . . . it wasn’t Starscream. She covered he mouth seeing who she had mistakenly bonded with for a short while. She was starring at a wide-opticed Optimus Prime.

“O-optimus I-I,” she tried to speak, but her mind was so confused about everything that was happening so quickly she didn’t know what to say.

“Uh, um, Alexis Homes,” said Optimus getting up quickly and closing his spark chamber obviously in shock and embarrassment at what happened just a short moment ago. “We have-have come here to rescue you. Now please put some-some armor on and we’ll be—we’ll be off.”

“Optimus I—I,” she still tried to comprehend everything as she touched her temples and tried to focus her optics.

“Come now Alexis,” said Optimus grabbing her wrist and pulling her to her limp legs.

“Oh . . . right,” said Alexis unaware at what she was doing as her mind still ran in a thousand circles.

Once she was done Optimus grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the room and down some halls to where the other Autobots were scouting around for her.

“Men I found her. She was in Starscream’s chambers,” said Optimus pointing to Alexis.

“Oh my Primus!” gasped Ratchet lightly. “What have they done to her?”

“Well, my guess is they used this converter to convert human into transformer, or vise-versa,” said Wheeljack coming out with the converter the humans dug up a while back.

“Good work Wheeljack, bring that and maybe find a way to change her back into a human,” said Optimus still holding a confused Alexis close by.

Just as the Autobots were going to make their leave they heard the high voice of one they were hoping not to run into.

“Alexis?!”

They turned to see Starscream with his optics wide and mouth open seeing his bonded in the hands of the Autobots. At his voice Alexis snapped out of her confusion and cried out to him. Her optics widened seeing the situation she was in and so struggled against her holder and cried—

“Starscream?! STARSCREAM!!”

“ALEXIS!!” he cried not taking another moment to waste as he started shooting at the autobots.

“STARSCREAM!!” she cried as Optimus lifted her off her feet.

“Hm, the Decepticons must have brainwashed her,” Ratchet pointed out.

“Then that’s all the more of a reason to get her out and away from them,” said Optimus turning to Brawn. “Brawn—take her!” He said tossing Alexis to the strong one. “Get her out of here!”

“Yes sir!” said Brawn as he ran off with the others out of the base.

“STARSCREAM!!” cried Alexis as they Autobots vanished with her.

“NOOO!!” cried Starscream going into a rage now just shooting whatever he could.

“We have to get out of here Autobots!” said Optimus.

“Prime,” came Wheeljack to him with a down face. “I’ve been hit.”

“Wheeljack?!” gasped Optimus his optics widening a bit.

“Well, not me, but this,” said Wheeljack holding a destroyed converter.

“Hhh, great,” sighed Optimus. “Is there any hope of you being able to make another?”

“Neh, I doubt it,” said Wheeljack casting his optics down. “I’d have to see a model and well . . . it’s gone.”

“Very well, we’ll think of something else,” said Optimus with optimism. “Right now just worry about getting out alive!”

At that the Autobots escaped and Starscream cried out in rage as the other Decepticons entered the base and found it trashed.

“Sheesh, what happened here?” asked Rumble coming up to Starscream who knelt on the ground in anger.

“They took her!” he said through his teeth. “They took MY ALEXIS!!”

Most of the Autobots waited outside the medical bay waiting for what Ratchet had to say on her condition. Once the door opened they all stood up and looked at him in wonder.

“How is she Ratchet?” asked Optimus with great concern feeling it was his fault she was turned into a transformer because they were too slow in rescuing her.

“Well,” sighed Ratchet holding the stats. “It looks like she’s no longer an unbonded.”

“Do you think it was Starscream?” asked Optimus a little uneasy asking considering what happened earlier. “When I found her she—was calling out for Starscream.”

“It probably was considering where you found her,” said Ratchet. “Was there anything else after she called out for Starscream when you found her?”

“Um, no, not really,” said Optimus not wanting to talk about what happened with her just yet.

“Okay then, well I didn’t see any signs of a sparkling so she’s just perfectly fine,” said Ratchet finally breaking out a smile.

“That’s good,” sighed Optimus in uneasy relief.

“But now we just have to find out a way to bring the old Alexis back,” said Ratchet looking at the medical bay where Alexis was being held. “Since Starscream’s bonded with her she’s his. She wants him and it might take a while to she’s back to her ‘transformer hating’ self.”

“I see, well we better get to work then,” said Optimus.

“Starscream will come for her,” warned Ratchet holding up his index finger. “Just like she wants him, he wants her. They are bonded together and will be till their sparks extinguish. I suggest raising security . . . for her sake.”

At that Optimus thought for a moment. He then remembered something and knew it would be best for Alexis.

“I know,”said Optimus. “Autobot city was just completed. Ultra Magnus has an excellent security system. We’ll keep her there. I’m sure they won’t mind.”

“That’ll be great Prime,” said Ratchet with a smile. “She’ll need the space between her and Starscream. She’ll be miserable for a while, but soon enough she’ll be back to her old self.”
