Starscream felt like he had gone through a full two hour cleaning cycle in a washing machine on high speed, his whole entire frame ached from a weird numbing sensation and it felt like he was hanging from a noose like structure from of electricity clamps, that were tightly bound around his wrists high above his helm. His main circuitry in his frame were slowly coming back on online and his optics fluttered themselves awake, he saw only darkness in his vision with red spots dancing all around him, mocking him for being so weak and tired. The seeker slowly swayed his helm to the side and quickly the spots were disappearing, he groaned in irritation when he struggled to lift up his helm up, all the wiring in his neck cables refused to moved but he willed his body and he eventually looked around into the darkness, his surroundings looked very familiar in a way, from a dream maybe?
What really spooked him the most was when he looked back down, he saw and felt nothing under his peds and then all the unregistered pain had suddenly stunned into his wrists, shoulders blades and his wing joints from the way they were sagging. Starscream looked up to see blinding lights holding him up in the air from the roof, and that's when he knew exactly where he was, but he didn't panic or even struggle. He was done playing as the coward for everyone's enjoyment, it was time for him to grew some ball bearings and face his fears once and for all because as soon as he looked towards the doors in front of him, they slid open to reveal his long over due execution and the mech who was ordered to kill him eons ago.
"Ah Starscream it's been a long time, hasn't it?" Lord Megatron sneered while strolling loudly into the room, the doors closed with a cold breeze following in after him, sending shivers up Starscream's spinal strut but he still didn't move.
"Not long enough Megatron" Starscream boldly said, his face was set in a bored and stern expression, his ex-master chuckled deeply from his chest and slowly began to circle around the prisoner who stayed quiet while strung up in the air.
"I can see that your time with the autobots has changed you completely into a weak and kind mech" Megatron said and soon walked back in front of Starscream. He focused his optics on the seekers chassis and saw the autobot insignia, Megatron merely scoffed and looked back at Starscream's face "So tell me Starscream, did you and Arcee interfaced for love or fun because there is a difference between the two?"
"Oh for primus sake why does everyone want to know why I had interfaced with Arcee, went through a lot of scrap with those psychotic humans and we fell in love, it's as simple as that" Starscream growled, so much for being calm and stern.
"Love, hehehe what a joke, love is such a pitiful lie we tell to sparklings so they can have hope in loving another for many years of sweet agony" the war lord spoke with his servos behind his back.
"It sounds like your speaking from experience" Starscream groaned while ignoring the pain and numb feeling in his limps.
"Maybe, but I never gave up on my the goal in life to rule this Galaxy and the planets in it" Megatron explained, "and by destroying all the autobots I will claim my prize" he held out his right servo, imaging the the earth in his grasp and crushing it.
"If you were to spare only one autobot, please let it be Arcee, she doesn't deserve this" Starscream pathetically pleaded with his helm down, looking at his dangling peds.
"Hmm, I may consider doing that, for a simple request of the autobot base location, we decepticons never do favours for anyone without a price" Megatron then suddenly wrapped his claws around Starscream's throat, immediately the seeker gasped breathlessly as Megatron forced him to stare directly into his blood red optics. "I find it hilarious that you are willing to sacrifice all of your autobot teammates just to save your pregnant mate's life" he loosened his grip slightly for the silver seeker to explain his cliché request.
"Because I know that my autobot friends will always defeat you and my mate is stronger than you think, oh and I must warn you my sparklings are going to kick your shiny metal aft from here to cybertrons moon" Starscream didn't flinch, shudder or blink when he stared right into the optics of death that burned with a thousand fires. Megatron growled deeply within his huge chest and he tightened his grip around his throat again, Starscream prayed that this pain  he was feeling will not reach Arcee. The gladiator then unlatched his servo from Starscream's neck harshly, leaving tiny scratches on his cables and then the warlord stood back, with the same scowl on his face.
"You have two choices, I force it out of you the old fashion way or I'll use the cortical psychic patch that will hack into memories. Choice now or else I will" Megatron ordered with a threatening fist hovering just in front of his scared face, already knowing the obvious answer Starscream chose the second option.
"The cortical psychic patch" he answered immediately, lord Megatron huffed and turned towards the door but just before he left he turned his helm slightly and said in a serious-ish tone, his words barley phased his prisoner on the outside but it did bring sting his spark on the inside.
"How pathetic, you are still the grovelling coward I had as a second in command and now look at you. A desperate sire trying to impress his lover for hugs and kisses" and then he left, leaving Starscream alone for who knows how's long in the dark cold room, He thought of all the ways he could save his whole family without lifting a single claw, but then he remembered something from a long time ago.
