CONfliction

(I've seen a few questions on where I find these pictures. Believe it or not: Pinterest! It's like a Transformer Gold Mine! or Energon Mine, whichever you prefer XD)

~(Y/N)'s POV~

     I was still in a sort of recharge, but half awake, not quite wanting to get up. My internal clock said it was very early in the morning, so I stayed on my berth.

A faint kiss... a delightful warmth but not from Knockout. He'd kiss my derma not my cheekplate... I felt something set by my side, but my body refused to let me wake up. I slipped deeper into recharge, the dull noise of a closing hanger door being the last I heard. Or perhaps... it was the singular whisper, almost too soft to hear.

         "I'm sorry."

     I woke up to panicked pede steps, and a steady rhythm of equally as panicked knocks. I knew it was Arcee, and slowly got up, the simple act quite a chore. I wasn't even half way there when the door was forced open, and several canons were aimed at me.

         "What's going on?" I asked, quite confused.

         "Don't play dumb femme," Ultra Magnus spat, and I glared, though I was still confused. Then I remembered.

I looked around for Soundwave, and found that he was no longer with me. I noted the small metal mass laying on the floor, most likely having fallen when I got up. I noted the small tag on the side when I neared it, saying it was for Raf, as well as a small set of instructions. I placed a digit on each side of the mass, and watched as a small zap of electricity turned it from a pile of parts, to a electromagnetic cat. It was big enough to be a Lion, or perhaps a Tiger, big enough for a Cybertronian pet. Raf will be so conflicted when he receives this from Soundwave... I'm conflicted. I thought I could trust him.

         "What did he take?" I asked, not looking to the group behind me.

         "He bot-napped Ratchet," Wheeljack informed.

         "That was most likely his goal from the beginning... nothing would have stopped him."

         "If we had kept the Decepticon restrained," Magnus pressed, "we could have stopped him."

         "If that is what you think, than you are far from knowledgeable of the Decepticons soldiers than you make yourself seem." I stood, and the red eyed Cybercat clicked in disagreement, "Soundwave did what he had to, I'm sure Ratchet will be well taken care of by Knockout."

         "We can't be sure of that." Ultra Magnus continued to push the subject, and I sighed.

         "Are the kids alright?"

Arcee answered before Magnus could, of which I was glad, finding out that they were fine. I'm sure Raf will love his present. It's a good transport if Bumblebee isn't around to help. I walked out to see the damage, of which there was little, at least Soundwave was good enough to leave things intact.

         "Have you checked if he left anything?"

         "Other than a piece of Laserbeak being left behind, no," Raf announced, rather melancholy, and I understood.

         "That's not completely true," I said, and allowed the Cybercat to go past my pede, it had gone unnoticed by the others for quite sometime, and seemed to know exactly who to go to.

     Raf stood, and watched as the metal creature neared him. It purred, and clicked, rubbing up against him like a house cat. He laughed, and pat it's lion sized head.
