Changes 1 2
When she learned that Starscream was looking for her, Shockwave could not help her amusement.
Just this morning she had made another rather obvious hint at the pilot that she would very much enjoy copulating with him. He had gotten flustered, and attempted to flee her clutches. Undoubtedly, he'd been very grateful to a certain pair of pilots for coming in at the right moment.
Shockwave was not at all attracted to the pilot. Oh yes, he was handsome and all, but Shockwave only teased him because he was the only man who had not shown any form of interest in her. She had a sort of reputation for that, having turned down every single man who had ever propositioned her. So the one man who hadn't tried yet and didn't seem like trying any time soon - well, Shockwave liked challenges, if only to amuse herself with Starscream.
Shockwave had no interest in men, really, and such a thing had aided her as she rose through the military ranks. Where Megatron had claimed her position as supreme commander through a combination of skill and fear, Shockwave had acquired hers through sheer hard work and simply being the most focused out of anyone present.
It helped that she simply adored Megatron, and the other woman had come to treat her as a confidant, even as a friend sometimes.
As far as Shockwave was concerned, Starscream was a toy.
So it was certainly a surprise that the pilot was looking for her now. Shockwave had spent the entire afternoon toying with him, moving around the different departments to perform surprise inspections, all of which she and Megatron had scheduled for today.
Somehow, word had not spread about the inspections, but the entire base knew Starscream was looking for her - and rumor had it that he was on some errand for Megatron and such.
When the pilot finally caught up with her, she was with the scientists, a tight group of six who distrusted anyone outside their group. Starscream stood at the door, arms crossed, looking annoyed as usual.
Shockwave finished speaking with Scrapper, the head of the scientists, before turning to Starscream.
"Yes?" Shockwave allowed herself to look him over, take in his appearance. Crisp and clean, as usual. If there was one thing certain about the pilot, it was that he was incredibly, incredibly vain.
"Megatron wanted me to give this to you." He moved, closing the gap between them and holding out a long white envelope. Starscream was looking at her with an openly hateful look, and certainly he was smart enough to know better...
Perhaps Shockwave was starting to push things too far. Ah well, it did not matter.
She reached out and took the envelope, their fingers brushing against each other's for a moment. Starscream recoiled, withdrawing his hand the moment Shockwave had secured the envelope in her grasp.
She opened it, and read.
Shockwave,
Starscream is to take your position, effective immediately.
-Megatron
Shockwave froze, and felt her blood run cold. This wasn't right, this couldn't be. Megatron was - Megatron knew she was the best, the only one good for the job. Soundwave was too cold for the role of second in command. Shockwave...though she worked with logic, she allowed herself to feel. To care. And the men loved her, not just as herself, but as their commander. They followed her willingly!
And Megatron--how could she do this to her?
Shockwave felt the betrayal blossom, the sense of anger, of hate.
And then she realized she had let her emotions overcome her again. Surely....surely this was a ruse, a trick. Megatron would never betray her. It must have been that Starscream wanted the position himself, so he--
Shockwave drew her gun, and raised it, aiming at Starscream.
The pilot jumped back, startled. "What are you doing!?" he shouted in that voice which was far too many pitches higher than it should have been.
She saw with clarity the shape of this man before her, of he who was called Starscream. She saw how ugly he truly was, how he was a man of lies, of deceit. Here was a man who would ruin everything she and Megatron had worked for, would tear it down with his own hands.
"Commander Shockwave, what is the meaning of this?" demanded Starscream.
"You dare bring such a thing to me?" snarled Shockwave, "You are a fool-- *I* was a fool to think you would be worthy!"
Starscream was backing away, stepping back towards the door. Fear-- fear was evident in his eyes, and Shockwave allowed herself to relish it, to enjoy the moment.
She fired - just as someone else did.
