Megatron had sent Soundwave to retrieve a human for 'tactical advantage' but it takes him up for a new experience.

Megatron POV

"These pets that the Autobot scrap have give them tactical advantage." I vented to Soundwave. "I suggest for our team, that we too acquire a pet."

"~We too acquire a pet~ give ~tactical advantage~" Soundwave statically replied.

"Go find me a human! And I trust you won't fail me!" I demand Soundwave.

"~Yes Lord Megatron~" Soundwave replied with an audio clip of Starscream's high pitched voice.

"Go now!" I barked.

I watched as Soundwave transformed and blasted out of the bridge.

(Y/N) POV

I was walking home from school with my earbuds in. Home to another beating after walking out of school with one. Nobody liked me, and I wasn't sure I even liked myself. I was mute, and apparently that made me an easy target for Vince, the school bully.

I was lost in though of what new methods of torture my father had come up with for me when I heard the sound of a low flying jet. I looked up and squinted against the harsh sunlight. With the glare of the sun blinding me I couldn't see what had picked me up. And with no voice box, I couldn't scream. But I didn't feel I wanted to, even if I could.

I felt something transform around me and soon I was high in the sky, riding in an unpiloted aircraft.

Soundwave's POV

The young femme human I had captured now resides in my alternate form's passenger seat. And by the look on her face she was scared, shocked and somehow calm.

I wanted to reassure her that she would be okay, so I popped a smiley face emoticon on my cockpit screen. The young femme smiled softly and replied with stratergized hand movements.

While I was flying back to the Nemesis, I looked up 'human communication hand signals' and the result came up with the fact that Lord Megatron's new human friend was mute, and this was how she communicated with people.

I sent a message to Megatron consisting of his charges predicament and a drive for him to download so he can communicate with her. The drive then sent to the whole main crew. SIC, CMO, Shockwave, Breakdown, 5t3v3 and t1m the two newly assigned personal guards of our new addition.

"~What is your~ Designation~ Little one~?" I asked the human.

:-(Y/N)-: She signed.

"~Interesting~ Designation Soundwave~ no harm you human~" I stated.

:-Where are you taking me Soundwave?-: (Y/N) signed curiously.

"~To your new family~ And friends~ Home~" I replied statically.

:-Okay-: She stated shortly.

Megatron's POV

A message popped up on my computer, a message from Soundwave.

"- Child (Y/N), 15yrs old, mute, femme. Friendly, brave. Download file into memory core, she can hear us speaking but cannot reply-" I reread Soundwave's message and started the memory core download that he advised.

Somehow I felt that something was wrong with the femme, not that she was mute. But maybe it was for an admirable reason... Or for a bad reason. I was soon to find out.

(Y/N) POV

A new family for me!? I couldn't wait to meet them.

Soundwave landed swiftly onto an airway deck leading onto a massive ship. His home apparently.

As Soundwave transformed I was fretting I might be crushed. But I was okay, I had landed on his hand/servo thingy.

Soundwave walked into the main part of the ship when a booming voice rang through the speakers.

"Soundwave, I require your audience in the brig!" Maybe that was Soundwave's leader.

But I was soon to find out.

With an ominous hiss a large door opened to reveal a gunmetal silver grey robot. He had an air of leadership and authority.

I hope he doesn't kill me, I gulped at the thought of how easy I was to be killed.

"Ahh, so this must be our new addition. (Y/N) is it?" The large mech asked.

"~Yes Lord Megatron~ (Y/N) ~New silent friend~" Soundwave replied statically.

:-Lord Megatron, it's an honour to meet you-: I sign with an air of bravery thickening around me.

"The pleasure is all mine, dear (Y/N)" Megatron stated, lowering a knife-like finger for me to shake.

:-Lord Megatron! My father will be worried that I have not returned home after school. I should return there, and meet up again tomorrow afternoon-: I signed fearfully knowing I was bound for a worse beating now that I was hours later than I should be.

"*KNOCKOUT!*" Megatron barked into my earpiece. "*Get down here and take our new guest back to her parental unit.*"

"*Yes Lord Megatron*" Came a sharp and slightly attractive male reply.

I wait a few minutes staring in fascination at Soundwave's visor as he worked, I want one. It was cool and I could some day be like Sounders and use audio clips to reply, and do work and watch shows too.

My day dream was cut short when a cherry red mech struts in looking over his rather impeccable finish.

"Ah, so this is our new friend. Young (Y/N) is it?" The mech named Knockout queried.

I nod my head and rush to get going. Father will be so mad with me, it's currently 8:30 at night and father will be drunk. A beating worse than ever was awaiting me when I got home.

Knockout pulled up in front of my neighbours house and let me out. I waved my hand, signalling a polite goodbye, and KO flashed his light, obviously returning the gesture.

I pull my key out of my pocket and unlocked the front door, entering the house silently I hoped that it would be one of those nights where father would be in bed early. But oh how wrong I was. I entered the kitchen to find a quick bite to eat when the lights flashed on, scaring me, but not more than seeing father brandish a whip and a large machete.

"You thought you could just sneak in here without me knowing hu?" Father taunted.

Advancing on my current position in the kitchen, father lashed the whip. A loud crack sounded and pain rocked my body eliciting screams. The whip continued to clash with my sides, my face, my shoulders. I was screaming and the whole neighbourhood could probably here me. I stumbled back and collided with the bench behind me. Father then disposed of the whip and reclaimed the machete. Swiping up with the machete father managed to slash my stomach, and my shoulders. I turned so my back was partually towards father, but regretting it soon after. With one last slash, father raked the blade down my back. My screams echoed down the empty house and then stopped.

"Do not dare try to sneak into my house again! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" Father roared.

I nodded. And he dismissed me with a "Go for a shower and get to bed!"

I climbed the stairs to my small room and grabbed my clothes and everything I needed for a shower. Including a personal blade that was used to punish myself for being a failure.

I must be able to scream because of my pain, but I still can't talk you fragging basturd, I growled in thought.

The water splashed on my newly acquired cuts and bruises. Grabbing my blade I slashed my wrists as many times as father had tainted my skin.

Megatron's POV

With the speed at which young (Y/N) signed her concern worried me.
She seemed fearful of her sire, something was definitely wrong.

"You may have to hurry your project along Soundwave, I fear that our human friend is scared of her sire!" I confessed looking at my companion.

With a firm nod Soundwave holds his project, it was already complete. That was good.

"*KNOCKOUT!*" I snapped through my comm link. "*Stay near our human friend, I fear-*" I was cut off by screaming on Knockout's end of the line.

"*Lord Megatron, it seems that (Y/N) is being abused by her sire.*" Knockout rushed.

"*DO NOT ENGAGE!*" I boomed. "*I will update you after I make a quick call.*" I informed before cutting the line.

I'm going to call the human government agent that is associated with the Autobots.

The comm rang for a second before it was answered. "This is Agent Fowler, who is this and by the Star spangled banner why the hell are you calling at this time of night!"

"Agent Fowler, this is Megatron, and I am in dire needs of your assistance." I stated.

"Megatron! Why would you need a humans help?" Fowler barked.

"Believe me fleshy, I wouldn't have asked if it were not for a very formadable reason." I snapped.

"Well what do you need!?" He asked.

"My human companion is being abused by her sire. And we need human help. I will send you the coordinates and I will hopefully see you there." I concluded.

"Oh, I'll be there alright!" Fowler barked before hanging up.

I commed Knockout on what was happening as Soundwave and I blasted off the deck of the Nemesis and in the direction of young (Y/N)'s home.
