Changes 1 2 3
Starscream was, as far as Soundwave was concerned, nothing but a minor inconvenience.
The pilot was unusual, yes, but Soundwave had seen her fair share of strange men and women in her lifetime. A single childish pilot changed nothing. He was not a variable in the grand scheme of things.
Soundwave intended to keep it that way, even when Megatron had expressed her interest, had hinted at making the pilot an officer. A mistake, in Soundwave's eyes. The man was even worse than Shockwave at controlling his emotions, and he was too easy to read.
Arrogant, childish, vain...but certainly a skilled pilot. Soundwave saw nothing attractive in him, and thought both Megatron and Shockwave were silly to pursue him in one way or the other. At least the foolish boy had not reciprocated. Soundwave would have to arrange for his death if that occurred.
It would be easy too. Her twins had already begun training as saboteurs. They were certainly small enough for the job, and could easily cause a few malfunctions during Starscream's next flight. The reports would come in, and Soundwave could manipulate them, make them seem like his own fault.
Megatron trusted her completely. She would be none the wiser about an "accident".
Oh, it was tempting, but Soundwave knew better than to test Megatron's trust, especially when she had just been given a new mission.
She was to watch both Shockwave and Starscream as they unwittingly took Megatron's test. So she had lurked in the shadows the whole day, and nobody dared approach her thanks to her reputation. Silently she had followed the pilot around, for he was less attuned to her presence than Shockwave.
Shockwave was one variable Soundwave would take great pleasure in replacing with someone else. Though the second in command claimed to follow logic, Soundwave knew better. The woman was illogical. She doted upon Megatron, insane and blind with her admiration, not for once seeing that Megatron held nothing but contempt and even distaste for her indiscriminate and indisciplined ways.
Shockwave tried too hard. Soundwave didn’t even try, and she knew Megatron would prefer her company over the other woman’s any day.
So she followed Starscream silently, hiding herself when he came upon Shockwave in the laboratory with the scientists.
Megatron had not said anything about intervention, but when Shockwave pulled her gun on the pilot, Soundwave raised her own.
She shot the contents on the table behind Shockwave just as the other woman fired her gun at Starscream. Soundwave watched as the bullet embedded itself within the pilot's shoulder, and he screeched in pain and fury. She watched as Shockwave turned -- only to be greeted by a burst of flame from the chemicals the scientists had been working on. She could hear them shouting and panicking, hurrying to put an end to this unfortunate disaster.
Shockwave screamed the loudest. The flames had licked away at her face, and she staggered back, stumbling away and toward Starscream. The pilot hesitated, took one look at her, and fled, nursing his own injury.
Soundwave lingered for just a moment, long enough to see the fire put out, and the scientists rush to the officer’s side. Soundwave moved, still silent, and bent to pick up the crumpled piece of paper a good distance away from the commotion. She didn’t need to look at it to know what it said.
Starscream was not a variable, and Soundwave intended to keep it that way. As for Shockwave…well, Soundwave had a feeling Megatron’s contempt for the woman would only grow after this incident.
Soundwave turned and disappeared into the shadows. It was time to manipulate some reports.
