"Ah aint having it! There is no way, Ah'm gonna stay here as long as Starscream is here!",Iron Hide said, stubbornly as he waved his servos.

"Well, the choice isn't yours, so you'll have to get use to it.",stated Prowl.

Iron Hide looked over to Optimus,"Prime, surely you see where A'm coming from on this?"

"Of course I do, Iron hide."

"Good, Ah knew you'd see reason-"

"But Starscream has gone through a great ordeal and it is our duty to help those in need; even decepticons...if necessary."

"But its not necessary, Prime! Don't ya see? She's sure to shoot us right through our processors while we recharge."

"I think you're over thinking this.",sighed Prowl.

"Ah'm not-?" Iron Hide turned to look at Prime as the leader had put a reassuring servo on his shoulder.

"It'll be alright.",he said.

Iron Hide sighed at this,"Ah don't know Prime, but Ah'll trust in your judgement."

Starscream was in the medbay, sitting on a berth. Ratchet said it was mandatory that she see him for a check up. Of course, she wasn't too happy about it and neither was Ratchet. Currently, he was trying to scan her vitals.

"Frag it all! I told you to hold still!",snapped the medic.

"And I told you to stop poking me!",Starscream snapped back.

"I'll poke you when and where I-",Ratchet stopped himself before he finished his sentence, "Can't you just be civil?!"

"Me?! How about you?! You're the one who keeps proding and poking me and then expects me to be fine with it! You...psycho!"

Ratchet's energon in his system was at a boiling point,"Why you-"

Skyfire who had seen that another war was about to break out, rushed over between the two of them,"Ratchet, what's going on?!"

"What's going on, is she's being a little glitch.",he said, hitting his mini scanner into his other palm.

Starscream's jaw dropped at that,"Well, yeah! He keeps poking me in my joints and stuff and I don't like it!"

"Well, that's part of a check up, princess. Get use to it!",stated Ratchet.

"Excuse me, but how would you like it if some bot poked you all over, after you'd be ra-"

"...What was that, Star?",asked Skyfire.

She turned her head to the side, quickly.

"Nothing."

Both mechs glanced at one another.

"...Starscream, were you...raped?",asked Ratchet, seriously.

She nodded.

"...And...Megatron. He beat me half to death. That's why I was the way I was... when you guys found me."

"And that's why it hurts for Ratchet to examine you?",asked Skyfire.

She nodded, closing her optics.

"yes."

After what seemed to have been a long and awkard silence, Ratchet turned to the both of them,"Right. I think it'd be best for me to give you a proper examination." Starscream opened her mouth to speak, when he put his servo up to silence her,"I'll give you something for the pain. I just can't let this go, now knowing what I know."

Starscream looked up at Skyfire for some help.

"I agree with Ratchet, Star. You should really let him examine you."

"But why do I need to be examined?",she asked, bitterly.

"To check for damage to your inner wiring, pregnancy, that kind of thing.",comfirmed Ratchet.

"Well, I don't..."

"Well, I don't care what you want. I'm going to get a sedative ready. It'll help you relax."

"That's not necessary.",she stated.

There was no way in spark ,she'd allow this. After everything she had gone through, why in the frag would she allow anyone to touch her, now?! Sure, she knew the medic's intentions were strictly professional and that he wanted to help her, but there was still something in the back of her processor telling not to go for it.

"I can't!",she goes to run out, but Skyfire grabs her by her upper servos.

"You need to calm down ,Star."

"What?! Release me!",she struggled, "You can't keep me here!"

"Starscream, calm down. Ratchet is only trying to help you."

"Whatever, traitor!"

"Wha? Traitor? Listen, you need to be quiet and-"

"It's fine, Skyfire."

"Ratchet?"

"Unfortunately, she's right. We can't force her. If she doesn't want me to examine her, then I can't. Though, I wish she would let me."

"Heh! Sorry, not happening.",she said.

"Well, I can still give you something for the pain if you wish."

"No thank you.", she said. She then left.

Skyfire turned to Ratchet,"Can't force her, huh? That's something, coming from you. Normally, you'd be strapping your patients to their berth, or threating them."

"True, but after what she had gone thorugh, that would be the worse thing right now.",stated the medic.

"So, do you think she's alright, physically?"

Ratchet shrugged, "I'm not too sure. But I'm more worried about how this has effected her mentally and emotionally."

Starscream was outside. She looked up to the black diamond-filled sky. The stars glistening, brightly. How she wished, she could fly. However, she couldn't because that glitch head Megatron had damaged her wings. She sighed. Then after thinking about it, she decided to go for a walk. She looked over at Blurr and Iron Hide who were on patrol. She didn't need to tell them or any other bot what she planned to do, as long as she was back before their shift ended. Even then, she could careless if they realized she was gone. She snuck away.

She had found a peaceful, quiet place. It was sure, breath taking. Yellow flowers covered the ground all around her. She had to admit; for such insignificant, puny creatures; humans had some really beautiful landscapes. Its too bad, it took her turning into a femme to realize that.

"Starscream!"

She turned around quickly,"TC. What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you."

She pulled back a little, clenching her servo to her chassis,"I'm not going back."

Thundercracker shook his head,"That's not why I'm here. You need to know that Megatron has every decepticon scowering the globe for you."

"What?"

"He has also given all of the decepticons permission to...have their way with you, as punishment."

"So why, aren't you?"

"Why aren't I what?"

"Having your way with me?"

"Oh, please, you're not that hot.",said TC.

Starscream looked at him in this the same bot who almost admitted that he loved her? No, it must have been another, seeker. Yeah, because this one was a total dick!

"Besides, I may be a decepticon but I would never force you into something you didn't want to do."

Starscream smiled at this. She gave the seeker a kiss on the cheek,"Thanks TC."

"Uh, sure."

88888888888888888

"She's gone?!",asked Prowl, alarmed,"I thought I told you two to keep an eye on her?"

"No disprespect intended, but Ah aint no babysitter. Especially to Starscream; femme or not."

"Well, I just picked up her energy signature.",said Bumblebee.

"And, where is she?",asked Prowl.

"Aproximently 250 km NW. But there's another decepticon there as well. Thundercracker."

888888888888888

"I had a nice time with you, TC, but I really need to be getting back."

"Back to the autodicks? You're a decepticon.",he said in disbelief.

"I know that, but the fact that my team wants to, you know, I can't exactly go back."

Thundercracker sighed," I know. Alright, be careful going back."

He kisses her on her forehead. Then departs.

She sighs, happily, watching him fly away.

8888888888888888

Not long after she makes it back to the autobots base.

"And-where-were-you?!",asked Burr, angerily.

"Just went for a walk.",she shrugged."

"Well-thanks-to-you-me-and-Iron-hide-have-cleaning-duty."

"And that's my problem, how?",she asked. She really didn't want to deal with this crap right now.

"Its your problem 'cause it's our problem, decepti-bitch.",Iron hide butted in.

"Oh, yes. Your logic makes perfect since.",she added.

"Well, it does. You should have told us, where you were going, Star.",came Skyfire's voice.

"Come on, Sky. I've never been one to tied down and you should know that better than anyone."

Skyfire scratched his helm,"Heh. Perhaps. We were worried about you. Especially me. We knew that, Thundercracker was with you. Did he...hurt you?"

"Do I look like I've been hurt?"

"Well, no."

"No. So don't ask stupid questions, Sky."

Skyfire decided it'd be best not to push the issue. She was clearly aggitated. Well, more so than usual, anyway.

"There's some fresh energon left, if you want some."

"No thank you, I already had some."

"When?"

"TC gave me his can he had on him."

"...You and Thundercracker are pretty close I take it?"

"Yeah, I tell him everything! We've always been that way!",she said, happily.

"Like you and me used to be.",he said, smiling. Though, the sadness was still there. But the two were really close once. Not like in love close, but they had a bond that no one or anything could break. Well that's what they thought at least.

"Skyfire, I'm sorry."

"Oh, no. Don't appolgize. I lost your trust a long time ago. Its understandable that you feel the way you do and it's obvious that you're in love with him."

"What? I don't love TC!",she said, blushing.

"Well, its written all over your face."

"It is not!"

"Is too!"

"No, it's not!"

"Yes, it is!"

"no, it's..."

"If you two are done argueing about whatever, I prepared this pain ointment for you.",said ratchet, handing Starscream the tube,"I know what you said, earlier, but I decided to make it up for you anyway."

"Uh, thanks.",she says, taking the tube.

He nods,"Rub in in your joints."

The medic leaves.

Starscream feels a little sleepy suddenly, and falls into Skyfire.

"Ive got you. All you alright, Star?"

"Huh? Y-yeah. Sorry, just a little weak and tired."

Skyfire nodded, picking her up,"I'll put you to bed."

888888888888888888

Skyfire had her in bed. He was sitting at the other end of her berth.

"Alright, get some recharge, Star. I''ll be back in, in a while to check on you.", He says, getting up to leave.

"Skyfire."

"Yes?",he asks, stopping in the door.

"I care about you. I never stopped caring about you.",she says, before going into recharge.

Notes: There you go. Not the longest chapter, but not the worse either...I think. I hope it was better done in comparison to the previous one. Also, I know I said this is Animated, but I think I'll switch it to G1.
