A short time later the guards returned much to Bumblebee's trepidation as Sunstreaker was still unconscious from his injuries. Standing defensively in front of Sunstreaker's prone form Bumblebee readied himself for another attack.
The guards laughed at the small 'bot's stance and dragged in the two seekers. Skywarp and Thundercracker had seen better days. Their frames were stained with dried energon. Skywarp's legs shook beneath him before he crumbled to the floor with a distinct moan. Thundercracker tried to swipe at his captors before being shoved into the cell, landing painfully on his wings.
The guards left them, their laughter echoing down the corridor.
Bumblebee watched the two seekers closely, no matter their current predicament they were still Decepticons. Thundercracker winced as he gingerly positioned himself against the wall; taking Skywarp's helm he gently caressed his barely conscious trine mate's face plates. His optics flickered over to the tense Autobot, he sneered derisively.
"Relax Autobot; do you really think we have the energy to attack you?" Bumblebee hesitated, not willing to let his guard down. Seating himself next to Sunstreaker he stared at the floor, the tension and discomfort thick in the air.
"What happened to him?" Thundercracker's quiet voice shocked Bumblebee from light recharge. He'd let himself recharge with the enemy directly across from him? Bumblebee cursed his negligence. Thundercracker seemed to read his thoughts and he sighed softly.
"Little 'bot… we are not the ones you should be worrying about, we have a common enemy now."
Bumblebee's capacitor cycled rapidly at the words, he'd never thought he'd see the day when he would consider another Autobot an enemy.
"Prowl interrogated him." He spoke up quietly; the seeker's presence was still intimidating even if they weren't going to attack him.
"Thought as much. He took Starscream."
"Our Prowl too." The two mechs glanced at each other, recognizing the other's plight. Skywarp turned his head towards Bumblebee; he was still resting in Thundercracker's lap.
"Looks like we need each other right now little 'bot." He whispered his voice hoarse.
Bumblebee nodded slowly, his optics glancing over Sunstreaker as he stirred with a groan.
"Ooooh… what… what happened?" He held his head in his hands before on lining his optics. The first sight he had was of the seekers watching his movements.
"Gaahhh!!" Sunstreaker shoved himself back against the wall, the jets chuckling at him for his efforts.
"Good morning sunshine." Thundercracker drawled a smirk gracing his face plates.
"What… why are you here?"
"We thought we'd try out this prisoner lark on for size." Skywarp interrupted. "Can't say it agrees with us."
Bumblebee nudged him gently. "We've been trying to think of a plan to escape."
"We…? What do you mean, we?" He glared down at Bumblebee, speaking through clenched dentals. "Bee… they're the enemy… they're 'cons."
"Fine suit yourself don't need your pathetic help anyway." Skywarp retorted acidly.
Bumblebee sighed. "Sunstreaker, we need to work together if we're going to get out of here they know where Prowl is."
"Slag I know where Prowl is!" Sunstreaker snapped impatiently. "Doesn't mean we can fraggin' get to him he's locked in that Prowl's quarters. Primus knows what he's doing to him."
His voice trailed off, unwilling to think of the possibilities.
"We have an idea… of what is happening."
"How d'you?"
"Trine link." Thundercracker's optics glanced at the floor his hand absently brushing against his spark chamber as Skywarp winced at some unseen pain. They looked at the Autobots with a renewed anger. "He has Starscream."
The two 'bots stared at the seekers. They could feel everything their trine leader was going through. Every wince, hiss and gasp they uttered was in response to another potential injury, a possible blow, pain filtering down their bond. Their capacitors stalled in horror as their minds were cast to their SIC. He had been with Prowl a whole day prior to this. Bumblebee shuddered visibly as Sunstreaker rested his hand on his shoulder.
"So you see Autobot our fates are joined for the time being." Skywarp continued. "We find your… Prowl." His mouth spat out the name with thinly veiled disgust. "We'll find Starscream."
Sunstreaker frowned at the seeker's tone. "You know Prowl from our world would never treat you like that… right?"
Skywarp snorted with a harsh laugh silenced only by Thundercracker's glare. "We know Autobot."
Sunstreaker blinked in surprise at the blue seeker's sad tone. Thundercracker met his optics.
"After your Prowl collapsed and you were brought here… I presume. He regained consciousness as that Prowl was letting his guards…" He grimaced at the memory. "You get the idea."
"They were torturing us Autobot." Skywarp snapped agitated.
Thundercracker continued. "Your Prowl tried to stop them, he was over powered and that Prowl did something to his head."
"Wasn't pretty."
"Skywarp!"
"No point in hiding it from them!"
Thundercracker lowered his tone. "You ever heard your tactician scream… truly scream for his life Autobot?" Thundercracker's red optics pierced into Sunstreaker's helm. He opened his mouth to speak letting out only a faint digital whine. Both the seeker's optics softened slightly as their fellow prisoners struggled to grasp the imagery of their stoic superior ever reacting to well anything much.
"Didn't think so." Skywarp muttered bitterly.
"We have." Thundercracker held Sunstreaker's glare. "So… yeah we know that your glitch-headed friend, despite all of his renowned logic, would still try to stand by his sickeningly noble, Autobot ideals in any ridiculous circumstance."
"Slaggin' dense as a youngling if you ask me." Skywarp growled softly.
Bumblebee tensed. "He tried to help you!" He yelled angrily at the seekers petulant tone.
Skywarp merely blinked at him. "Yeah… he got fragged for it… like I said; dense wouldn't catch a 'con doing that."
Bumblebee seethed as Sunstreaker placed a hand on his chest. "Not now Bumblebee, let it go."
"It does mean we will help you though."
"Why?"
"We are not entirely without compassion Autobot." Thundercracker retorted. "For all of our… disagreements… he still tried to help us. Starscream won't forget that."
"You find your leader; we find ours that simple enough for you?" Skywarp drawled his optics shuttered once more.
"Makes sense to me." Sunstreaker grumbled much to Bumblebee's displeasure.
"We have a truce then?"
Sunstreaker nodded slowly and rubbed his face tiredly with his hand. "Now we just have to find a way to get to them."
A movement caught the prisoners unaware, startling them all into readiness. The seekers were up, ready to pounce before Sunstreaker and Bumblebee had even realized what was happening.
A disembodied voice spoke to them across the cell's shield. "I believe that I may be able to provide you assistance."
All the prisoners stared mouths open as the atmosphere shimmered in front of them. The tall mech smiled warmly. His blue optics taking them all in warily. The shield suddenly flickered and died casting the dim light of the corridor into the cell.
The mech's smile widened at the look of surprise on their faces. He chuckled lightly. "I believe someone said something about an escape."
