don't meddle with the mind you don't know what you'll find

WHO: Shockawkward & Soundawkward
WHERE: Dancitron
WHEN: After Dancitron closes for the night.
WARNINGS: Awkward, probably a lot of glares, idk what else
SUMMARY: The 'Waves have been avoiding each other because of what happened during the Desire event. They finally talk about it. It's kinda like that one episode of A Single Potato.
FORMAT: Whatever the bossy person says.

[It's been a few days. A few days since they've actually spoken. Soundwave has been avoiding him, he knows. But. He's been doing the same thing really - as illogical as it is. He knows this has to be taken care of, and the sooner it was, the better. This could not be allowed to interfere with work. Hn. Desire. Troublesome.]

[Quietly he makes his way into Dancitron, the scientist could not say he was looking forward to this little chat.]

CONSIDER WHAT YOUR CYBERTRONIAN BODY WAS LIKE PRIOR TO BECOMING HUMAN.

[He tilts his head. He has been wondering.] QUERY. WHAT IS THE SCAR FROM?

Hm.

[He doesn't really have a problem with talking about this. He had already told Blitzwing, and well, he told Optimus back on Cybertron.]

Myself. I removed the symbol to prove my loyalty to Cybertron and gain the Autobots' trust.

HN.
TO CYBERTRON.

[He supposes he understands the necessary deception, but with Shockwave, it's difficult to tell where his loyalties really do lie. With logic, he expects, but that now is even shakier to him.]

The factions had to be abolished - some of the Autobots were getting wary of following a Decepticon. It was necessary. I did keep the Decepticon forces strong, underground however.

NOTED.

[Slightly less hesitant, then. It's still a bit difficult for him to absorb -- and he feels it's unlikely that Shockwave trusts him as much as he claims.]

[Perhaps not fully, it's hard to trust another Decepticon that much. However he does trust Soundwave quite a bit, about the same as he trusts Blitzwing - which is saying quite a bit - especially since the events of last week.]

That is not a problem, is it?

NEGATIVE.
IT APPEARS I WILL REQUIRE FURTHER KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR WORLD'S TIMELINE AT SOME POINT.

You are free to ask anytime.

[He doesn't mind talking about it.]

[He considers.]

...
I WILL LOCATE SOME TEA.
IF YOU ARE FREE TO DISCUSS IT.

...

[Blinks.]

Certainly.

[He nods quietly and stands up, heading into the closed cafe. He shifts the cub in his arms again as he heads inside, setting her back down in order to fix the tea.]

FLAVOR PREFERENCE?

I am not picky, I will be fine with any flavor.

ACKNOWLEDGED.

[He chooses chai spice. Take that. In the meanwhile, he warms up some milk for the cub.]

SIT.

[Will take it and will like it. Sits.]

[Eventually brings tea. Soundwave sits again and calls for the cub. She climbs obediently into his lap and he takes her to feed, but not before he sets the cup of tea before Shockwave.]

PLEASE PROCEED IN EXPLAINING.

[Takes the tea, sips it.]

What exactly do you wish to know?

YOUR HISTORY.
IT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE I KNOW.

[Nods slowly.]

For the most part it is.

WILL YOU INFORM ME?
PRIMARILY: YOUR LOYALTY TO CYBERTRON.

Cybertron ended up shutting down after we had utilized all the energy. With nothing left to power it or us, everything shut down entirely. After sometime I was reawakened, and proceeded to study and rebuild the planet, eventually reactivating those still in stasis.

After that it was simply manipulating things in my favor. Giving up my power, removing myself from the Decepticons, letting the Autobots' little council return to me my power, abolishing the factions, making certain that those of you on Earth were not capable of returning until the precise moment. Basic things.

[Pauses, frowning.]

YOU LEFT US ON EARTH?

The Autobots defeated you, they had planned to return to Cybertron with you all, as this would compromise my work on rebuilding Cybertron - and would also restart the war - I had to do something about it. I convinced a human into blowing up the ship during take off, so that you all were incapable of returning until the right time.

[He isn't terribly pleased with this information. Although there is SOME logic to it -- naturally, this being Shockwave and all -- he's a bit irritated. True, this isn't even his own world that he must be bothered by, but Soundwave does have some lingering issues with being stranded somewhere.]

YOU COULD NOT WARN US?

I was not able to at the time. You were Autobot prisoners, so action had to be taken. I did come to Earth to get you all sometime after you had freed yourselves from control by the humans.

[He had been busy, not to mention warning them would have alerted Megatron to things. If his plan was to work, Megatron would have to remain in the dark.]

[There is a faint frown from Soundwave. He isn't sure how to be concerned with this data.]

WHAT OCCURRED AFTER YOU CAME FOR US?
