"-and that's how I defeated Scarecrow. Weird name, I know."

Mika listened to Breakdown talking to her, she didn't know why he bothered. She was after all, on the Autobot side.

But...

Breakdown and Knockout weren't to bad of guys once you got to know them a little... They were pretty decent actually. She had taken a liking to Breakdown the most, everyone was noticing that as well. So while she was in Con captivity Breakdown would be her guardian. Mika knew that Megatron wanted her on his side for her abilities and she knew that he would try for Miko when he could seeing as her abilities were awakening as well.

"Can you hand me that?"

"Sure."

"..."

"... I can't reach it."

Mika, unthinkingly, used her ability to get the tool Knockout needed so he could continue fixing up Breakdowns armor. Said con had just returned from a fight with a rouge named Scarecrow or something like that.

"Woah." Knockout looked from the tool, to Mika, To Breakdown and then repeated. "How'd you do that?"

"I was born with it." She mumbled.

She had soon discovered if she was compliant enough she could stay out of her cage, they moved her from the glass dome to the metal cage so she wouldn't have any accidents again. She wouldn't be joining them oh no. But... she would stay on the ship and not contact the autobots.

Not that she could escape anyway nor could she understand cybertronian yet, so it wasn't like she could get a hold of them.

Besides, Soundwave took her phone.

Mika pouted, much like a child scolded by their parent.

Which, she supposed she actually had been.

While she was able to roam now, she still had to have an escort who always was either Breakdown or Soundwave. She was to terrified of Megatron, who was greatly pleased that she feared him.

Freaking jerk...

"What else can you do?"

"..."

"And we go back to the silence. Great job Breakdown."

"Hey it wasn't me!"

"Was to! You pushed it and it took so long for her to break out and speak." Knockout grumbled.

"What do you care? She's my squishy anyway." Breakdown countered.

"Technically she's Soundwaves Squishie."

"...alright."

"Besides, I don't care. BUT! It'd be better then her staring all the time!"

Stare.

"Look she's doing it again!"

Stare.

"How old are you Knockout? It's like your taddling to mommy."

Mika blinked and started giggling, she couldn't help it. "If that were the case, wouldn't Breakdown be daddy and Knockout be Mommy?"

"Hold on why would I be the mommy?!" Knockout growled.

"Because your like a girl always worrying about their looks."

Breakdown, who had started drinking energon amused at the two, spewed his drink everywhere and chortled with laughter. He was laughing so hard he was smacking his leg especially when he saw Knockouts facial expression before he turned on Breakdown.

"This is all your fault!" Knockout fummed.

Stare.

"My fault?" Breakdown stopped laughing.

"Yeah!"

Stare.

"Alright if you want to be like that." Breakdown joined Mika in staring the Medic down.

"Not you to...

Double stares.

"Come on! I know I'm sexy and my finish is best by far, but this is to much."

Double stares with eyebrow raised.

"That's just creepy." Knockout pointed to the human girl.

Double stares.

"I hate you guys."

"Whatever, I got mission anyway." Breakdown said as he stood. "Behave."

Mika glared at him, how would she even misbehave without getting smooshed or thrown back into her cell?

...

...

...

"This is where we picked up Bulkhead." Ratchet spoke turning away from his computer. During his continued search for Mika he and the rest and picked up Bulkheads emergency signal and rushed to his aid. But when they got there Bulkhead had been just awakening from unconsciousness, not remembering what had gone on.

Miko stared at the screen, what was up with that place anyway? And how come Bulk didn't remember anything?

"-20 years ago when the volcano erupted." She tuned back into the conversation. "My intel reported seeing Mech there."

"Mech? You mean those techie guys?" Miko turned to him with one arm around her waste and the other raised.

"The very ones who know of our existence on your planet." Ratchet informed.

"They must of tracked us there." Bulkhead mumbles in thought.

"But what would they want with Breakdown?" Miko points out.

"Who cares? They could have him." Arcee snorts.

Bee adds in a few whirs and buzzing causing Bulkhead to laugh.

"Yeah Dragged off by humans, Guess I softened them up for him huh?" He punches his fist into his other hand.

"Nah." Miko turned away.

"Ratchet." Optimus speaks up, he'd been thinking in the back while the others spoke. He knew there was no way they could let MECH get a hold of their technology let a lone let another Cybertronian, be it con or bot, fall to the hands of someone such as them. "Re-activate the previous coordinates. We will rescue breakdown.

"What?!" Ratchet asks incredulously.

"Optimus, you can't be serious."

Bee buzzed in agreement.

"Let them melt him down for all I care! Let the cons rescue their own."

"It is doubtful that Megatron would act upon an errant of mercy." Optimus starts.

"Okay... But this is Breakdown we are talking about." Arcee placed a hand on her hip.

"Some times we must rise above ourselves for the greater good."

"Aww whats that supposed to mean?" Bulkhead grouched. "Breakdowns gunna be so grateful that he'll join the Autobot cause?" He scoffed.

"While it is unlikely for a decepticon to chose the path of good, even they posses the potential for change."

"RRR I knew this would happen."

"By greater good." Optimus informs Bulkhead. "I meant Human kind. Mec presents a clear and present danger."

"Primes right two ton. We know Mech is obsessed with obtaining ground breaking technology." Fowler agrees.

"Which means we cannot allow cybertronian biology to fall into their hands."

"Maybe we may be able to find where Mika is too!" Miko shouted, hope shining through.

Ratchet grumbled for a second before nodding and with a Sigh he opened the bridge.

"Come on Bulk! you have to go with." Miko sighs as she climbed down the steps.

"Don't wanna" He denied.

"Bulkhead"

"Optimus I'm sorry I just cant do it."

"I support your choice"

"What?" Bulkhead and Miko stuttered.

"Given your history with Breakdown your judgment may be clouded. And thus jeopardize the mission, besides the Decepticon may be in more need of a Medic then a warrior."

"Locked and loaded Optimus." Ratchet walks up, he too was beginning to hope they could get information on Mika from Breakdown in return for their rescue.

"Autobots! Roll out!!" And with That Optimus and the gang were gone through the bridge.

"..."

...

...

...

"We can't afford to lose anyone!"

"And if Megatron finds out?"

"He wont."

"Breakdowns my partner, I want in. Teach those slagging fleshies a lesson!"

"How do you think we can keep this from Megatron?"

"He's off on business."

"To Megatron, if your weak enough to get captured by humans then you have no place among us."

"SILENCE!" Starscream shreiked before hissing out. "Soundwave has ear's all over the Nemesis! Do you wish for him to hear?"

The Vehicons and Knockout frantically looked around for anything suspicious before turning to Starscream. Neither noticing Mika sitting upon Lazerbeak as they watched the whole thing.

Over the past few days being stuck on the base with Soundwave and Breakdown providing Mika sustenance to survive wasn't so bad. S

he had gotten a long very well with them... For being Cons anyway.

She even started taking a liking to Knockout.

Shocking enough they kept her entertained with either their bickering *between Breakdown and Knockout*, Knockout teaching her about the Cybertronian body and weaponry, to Breakdown trying to toughen her up by training her, or Soundwave using his free time to spend with her.

She really hadn't expected him to, she still was unsure on him.

But everyday before he slept he would come in and pick her up, taking her to his room, before laying upon his birth and setting her on his spark chamber. He used his visor to teach her more about Cybertron, wanting his sparkling to learn more about their home.

Mika never complained, glad she had at least what she did. She also preferred his presence then the lonely cage that they sometimes made her stay in, and so she accepted his teaching her.

She didn't want to admit it... but she was starting to really like them and she was cherishing the time with her... father.

"-Lets go."

Mika watched as the cons left to rescue Breakdown and sent a prayer to God that he was okay.

...

...

...

Boom!

Boom Bang!

The metal door suddenly burst open as Bulkhead cam crashing through. "Marco!" He punched through the soldiers shooting at him, hitting them away with ease. "Your supposed to say Pollo!"

He pounded his fist on the ground over and over, making sure to knock all the humans out before running down the hall and spying Breakdown. He quickly made his way over, seeing Breakdown watching him, before he stood close up. "It mus be your lucky Day." Bulk said before reaching down, almost snickering when Breakdown flinched, and ripping off his restraints.

"...I don't understand. What are you doing?"

"Getting you out of here."

Breakdown stared at Bulkhead incredulously.

"Yeah I cant believe it either."

Breakdown accepted Bulkheads offered servo and raised himself up before ripping his hand away.

"Can you walk?"

"I-I think so." Breakdown was staring at Bulkhead, millions of questions running through his processor.

Suddenly an alarm started going off and Bulkhead turned back to him. "Can you run?"

Breakdown scoffed before activating his hammer. "Why run when you can fight?"

"Just keep that thing pointed away from me. Alright?" Bulkhead shoved the Hammer away.

The two started running outside of the building, when the humans from before started shooting at them once more.

"Creature double feature coming at ya!" Bulkhead said as he plowed through them and once they reached the real exit the fun began.

Fire power rained down on them heavily, they were surrounded.

"Got an escape plan?"

"Yeah, but your not going to like it. Bulkhead to Optimus, lock on to my coordinates I am in need of immediate assistance!"

Breakdown scowled for a moment before blocking more fire power from a helicopter. In his frustration he grabbed a car and easily tossed it towards the plane, making it explode in a fiery inferno.

"By the way." Bulkhead fired back at a few vehicles. "Hows the kid?"

Breakdown glanced over to Bulkhead before back to their enemies. "She's fine. Scared, but fine."

Bulkhead nodded, at least they knew she was still alive...

but for how long?

...

...

...

Mika awaited almost eagerly, worry seeping through her.

Was Breakdown okay?

Was he injured?

Why does she care about the stupid decepticon? She scolded her self over and over. She shouldn't be worried about a con! She should be trying to escape! She shou-

A groundbridge opened and Starscream walked in with his vehicons, Knockout and "Breakdown!"

He looked down at the Femme who was now hugging his pede. He... Hadn't expected her welcome.

Starscream seemed surprised as well as he blinked over to the girl then him, then before shaking his head and leaving with the Vehicons.

"I'm glad your okay." She mumbled, blushing a bit before retreating with Lazerbeak into Soundwaves quarters for the night.

She felt Soundwave pick her up, placing her on his Chassis before she curled up and fell into a deep sleep, tired from worrying.

Tired from wishing to be home.

Tired from fighting with herself that it was wrong to feel so worried for the cons...

Soundwave shifted, looking down at his sparkling sleeping on his chasis. She was cuddled up to Lazerbeak, right above his spark. He'd often wondered why she seemed to melt into a relaxed state whenever placed there and discovered that her human half loved listening to his spark. Like human sparklings like listening to their parents heart beats. He felt himself drift as well as his servo covered her to keep her warm for the night, before he too fell into recharge.

Neither were aware of Megatron watching, nor the grin on his face.

It was working, she was getting closer to his soldiers without them having to try! Soon he will have her comfortable in their presence, and then he would work on her being around him.

All she needed was a little push in the right direction.

She would be his... no...

Her power would be his!
