Shockwave was going over some data pads when a servant told him that his guest had arrived.

"He certainly took his time getting here." Shockwave grumbled as he stood up from his desk.

It didn't take long for Shockwave to leave his study room and arrive at the room reserved for receiving company. Sitting on a plush bench was a small, mostly green bot. While not too well known among the common bots, the bot that say before Shockwave was a greatly recommended slave trainer known as Wasp.

Wasp quickly noticed Shockwave's presence. He stood up and nodded to Shockwave.

"Hello, Shockwave." he said.

"Hello. It is good to see you well, Wasp." Shockwave said, his optic's gaze traveling to the long chain that Wasp was holding in one servo.

At the end of the chain was a short, yellow mech. The mech's optics traveled up to face Shockwave once he heard him enter. He didn't even attempt to not meet Shockwave's optics like a well trained slave or pet would. In fact, the yellow bot spoke when not asked.

"I didn't think a fragger like you had friends." the bot said.

Shockwave quickly realized that the bot was talking to Wasp, and not him. Wasp narrowed his optics at the yellow bot before taking a long rod that had been attached to his hip and putting it up to one of the bots small horns on his helm. With the touch of a button the buzz of electricity was heard and the yellow bot screamed in pain.

"Just how many more times do I have to do this before you learn, Bumblebee?" Wasp asked the yellow bot before removing the rod and shutting it off.

The small, yellow bot was too busy recovering from the pain to reply to Wasp. That didn't stop the yellow bot from glaring at Wasp though.

"I apologize for Bumblebee's behavior. I just got him you see, and he has not been trained much just yet." Wasp explained before turning back to Bumblebee and taking his chin and leaning his face closer to Bumblebee's. "But he'll learn the right way to behave, eventually."

Bumblebee snarled.

"Don't touch me!"

Wasp frowned, unhappy with Bumblebee's reaction. He shocked Bumblebee on the other horn this time. It was only after Bumblebee's screams died down that Wasp spoke to Shockwave again.

"I wouldn't have brought him along if not for his escape attempt this morning. Took two servants to hold him down. He's not that strong, but he's a lot more slippery then he looks. I want to keep an optic on him today. Not to mention maybe he'll learn something from watching another bot being trained." Wasp said.

"As long as you can keep him under control, I do not see a problem with this." Shockwave said with a shrug.

Wasp smirked.

"No need to worry. I will not under estimate this one again." Wasp said.

Bumblebee continued tp glare, but said nothing this time.

"Now, I assume you've had this pet of yours long enough to learn some information on him?" Wasp asked.

Shockwave nodded before handing a data pad to Wasp.

"Yes, though to be honest, most of this information was what I observed before I took him as my pet." Shockwave said.

"Can you say stalker?" Bumblebee muttered.

"Continue talking, and there will be no energon for this day either." Wasp said, not even glancing up at Bumblebee.

Bumblebee tilted his head slightly, considering if a snappy comeback was really worth no energon today. Finally he decided Wasp really wasn't paying that much attention to him at the moment, not making anything he could come up with to say, worth it. He did give a defiant snort though. Thankfully for him, Wasp was too busy reading over the data pad to realize this.

After about a half cycle of silence, Wasp looked up from the data pad.

"From what information you have here, I can think of one idea used to train this bot. However, I suggest trying a normal training session first. The idea I have is a little extreme." Wasp said.

"Just how extreme?" Shockwave asked.

"Nothing that will harm your pet physically, if that's what you are worried about. It could be taxing on his processor however. That's not really a bad thing if your dealing with a stubborn pet. In fact, it's probably one of the best ways to train a pet. Find a fear or some sort of flaw, and exploit it. I'm still trying to figure out what scares my new pet here. But I'll find out what it is eventually." Wasp said, glancing at Bumblebee.

Bumblebee, who was sitting on the floor with a bored expression on his face plate, looked up when he heard himself being mentioned. He narrowed his optics at Wasp, but said nothing.

"Interesting." Shockwave said, looking thoughtful. "Tell me, what is it that you think makes my pet frightened?"

Wasp grinned. Bumblebee couldn't help but shiver at the sight of the grin. He had seen in the last few days what normally followed after that grin. Even though he would not admit Wasp scared him, that grin give send a slight bolt of fear through him.

"Simple. He's a bot that likes to move, meaning he needs his space. I'm willing to bet that if you put him in a small and closed in place… well, lets just say the results will be interesting." Wasp explained.

Watching the expression of wicked glee that crossed Wasp's face as he explained his thought, Bumblebee couldn't help but feel bad for the poor bot in question.

He also couldn't help but fear for himself.
