YESSSS! I finally made it.
It took reeealy long, sorry, I've had a creative crisis XD ...( İ'm not sure if that's how it's called in English...) and I missed your comments! :(
I've started one new story ((Transformers) Stupid or right?) but don't worry, it's not the reason the new chapter took me so long and it will not affect next ones (as I have said I had creative crisis and didn't know how to better dеscribe the things happening...)
One problem, something's wrong with my computer again! So I couldn't make a proper check, sorry... I'm not able to find all mistakes(( if you see them, please write:)

(Transformers) Soundwave's secret
Chapter 13
Door panels slided open and Optimus Prime, Blurr and Prowl entered the med bay, as the pair of bright optics was directed at the newcommers. Blurr looked in them, instantly making Soundwave turn away and start collecting her long head cables.
Head cables...?
Blurr blincked with surprise. Well, Soundwave was a femme, but still... It felt a bit weird. When he looked at her again, femme was already sitting with her helm armor and visor on.
Optimus stopped infront of the Decepticon, her sitting straight.
"Soundwave, your previouse actions were reckless, however, I tried to find an explanation to your foredoomed to failure break-out. I have managed to find just one." the Autobot leader started looking at Decepticon.
"You were trying to contact your simbiots through your spark bond, were you not?" as this was said, Soundwave's helm slightly moved, her action being enough for Optimus to realize that he had been right.
"Soundwave, we will not inform Megatron about your secret, but you should understand that I cannot guarantee the confidentiality of this information, as now too many are already awaired of the truth." Optimes made a pause and continued, "As for interogations, we will not fall that low to be questioning a femme. Megatron and I came to an agreement. You'll be soon returned back to Decepticons."
Soundwave didn't move. She had to admit, Prime was one of the most clever bots but, when he mentioned her simbiots, the femme's spark flinched. And then he added... No more interrogations. And the confidentiality from their side. Why?
At first, Soundwave was not sure if Optimus was seriouse but, when he mentioned the agreement, it became more clear. She didn't know if Autobots agreed on the deal only because of refusing to 'fall too low' by interrogating her or the agreement more was just profitable for them. But she was going to be freed, the reason didn't matter. Still, there was one thing she couldn't understand. Why wouldn't they tell Decepticons about her? This was stupid! Autobots could at least try to blackmail her... May be this was what they wer planing to do, just later...
"Soundwave, Megatron's unpredictibility is not a secret. I hope you realize the risk you will be facing after returning."
'I would be a fool, if I did not.' she thought to herself. They were really going to release her...
As Optimus finished, Blurr stepped closer with servocuffs in his servos. Soundwave looked at him. Yes, she had been able to get rid of this things before, and Autobots knew she could do that again, but this would require some time and, in addition, they were going to release her, so there was no need to go on a risk and try to escape again. The Decepticon femme stood up, letting the 'Bot put them on and then lead her out.
"Returning? Optimus, are we releasing Soundwave?" Ratchaet asked with surprise, as others had left the med bay.
"Sentinal was captured by Decepticons." the leader explained.
"What?!"
"His team was attacked. Everyone is online, thankfully, but 'Cons got him and Megatron wants to exchange him on Soundwave."
"How could that happen? Argh... Sentinal... Why can't he stay away from trouble? " Ratchet mumbled rubbing his optics.
"I knew that Megatron would try something like that... I wish we could found another way to deal with this matter but I fear there is no other choice but to free Soundwave."
"Yes, I know, it's not like we are going to leave him Sentinal to 'Cons... Sometimes I wish we could, frankly speaking... Alright then, but I have started thinking we'll have opportunity to find out more about Soundwave..." the medic admitted taking his data pod from the table.
"Talking of that, how did it go?" Prime asked.
"I guess, could be worse... Ironhide must have informed you about what had happened."
"Yes, he did, but this aggressive actions were logical, from Decepticon's point of view. We had been questioning her not that long ago..."
"But you'll never guess what happened later..." Ratchet looked at his friend with a pleased smirk written on his faceplate. Prime narrowed his optics with a woken interest, "I'm listening."
"First Aid wanted to assist me, it is clear that kid wanted to show he wasn't afraid after the insident they had with Soundwave... I don't know where it came from, Optimus, but he started talking with her and, that might sound crazy, but she answered him! Using recording, of course, but she did! I thought that 'Con might be trying to distract us or something but, you know better then me, Soundwave isn't the one who uses talking in her tactics..."
"True. She is not... What did they talk about?"
Optimus was making his way to the aircraft, on which they were going to reach the meeting spot, get Sentinal and return Soundwave back. Ratchet told everything that had happend in the med bay... First Aid was a nice young bot, but who would have thought that he would be the one to help in releaving Soundwave's other side. Although Ratchet admitted thinking that this attitude might have been a trick, the medic and Optimus agreed on the change being something else.
And the most amusing was what had Soundwave admitted, she admitted feeling scared. And again, Optimus remembered the femme's optics after her visor was taken. He didn't know what had made the femme start hiding, who she really was, but this had happened long ago and it was too late to stop doing so without turning everything upside down... And Soundwave knew it. He was sure she did.
Of course, Prime couldn't put aside the fact of Soundwave's being an enemy. But this were the times Soundwave had been known as a mech. Now, it was different. Everything that had happened made Autobot leader realize, how mach they didn't know. Could he blame someone for being a Decepticon not knowing the reasons of their actions?
And there was one more thing. Soundwave's simbiots. These transformers were known for their loyalty to her, but no one could say for sure what kind of a relationship they shared with their master. Was the word 'master' even suitable in this case?
By trying to escape, Soundwave went on a big risk. Optimus had asked Soundwave if the reason of her actions was the try to contact her simbiots, and the femme's nearly unnoticeable reaction proved him being right. Optimus didn't know why exactly she wanted to contact them. There could be lots of intentions for that, but one of them was especially attracting his attention. And Prime wasn't sure if this one would had come before to his processor... May be, Soundwave was worried about the affect of the reveal of her secret on her simbiots?
Despite the spark bond they shared, even when the Decepticon Communication Officer helped his (her) simbiots during the battles (it was usually Ravage or the condors, who were involved in the fight), this was just the saving of the valuable subordinates, in Autobots' point of view, and never Soundwave's real care towards them was considered. But what if this was not true? Could Soundwave have a close relationship with them? Could she really care for them? Could she have done the most of the things in order to protect them?
Optimus signed. This was... Tangled. What if Soundwave was just trying to protect the ones, who were close to her? In this case, could he continue to blame this femme for her doings?
"Hey! Easier! Savage Decepticons..." Sentinal barked out, as Thrust pushed him harder out off the aircraft. They have landed to the meeting spot, which was a deserted rocky field of the neutral territory. Sentinal was surrounded by 'Cons but could see the group of Autobots coming closer to them, their aircraft noticeable at their backs.
Two groups stopped, a short distance left between them, leaders watching each other, their optics narrowed.
Soundwave also was unnoticiably watching. She was watching both Autobots and Decepticons. The ones surrounding were concentrated and ready to face the aggression from Decepticons' side, but, as 'Cons, who were always more likely to make the first shut, didn't look like having prepared some meaningless assault, Soundwave doubt that some enexpected 'problems' would appear. Actually, having a look at her 'comrades', it was clear, that right now they had other matter to deal with. This matter was the returning of The Communication Officer. Starscreem had his servos crossed behind his back, wings high and keeping his helm up. The Decepticon Second in Command was more then displeased by the fact of Soundwave's returning and that he had missed the chance to replace the captured 'Con by his own people, but how skilfuly was the seeker hiding all these under the most arrogant expression written on his faceplate. Thrust, on the other servo, wasn't that succesful holding back his dissatisfiection. If Megatron had decided that Shockwave was more required as a scientist, then it would have been him to get the chance for promotion. Soundwave then noticed Hook also standing by their side. A medic? Well, if Autobots hadn't repaired her, Hook's help wouldn't have been superfluous. Saying that Megatron needed his Third in Command functional and ready for the work was meaningless... She then directed her attention at Breakdown and Dreadwing. Out of all of them, this two were, possibly, the most appreciated company... At least, they were not interested in getting rid of her. Soundwave signed, so much for a wellcomming returning... There was also a group of Drones standing arround and some of them keeping their blasters pointed at Sentinal's back, who, like her, was with servocuffs on. 'They surely missed me' Soundwave rolled her optics and looked at the WarLord wishing, 'Let's just get over this as soon as we can.'
"This ended faster then you thought, didn't it, Optimus?" Megatron smirked enjoying that his plan worked. Autobots were too easy to manipulate, when it came to the safety of their comrades.
"It hasn't ended yet." Prime corrected him and nodded to Ironhide. The warrior took the Servocuffs off, releasing Soundwave, while same was done with Sentinal and two bots started slowly walking to their own groups, each of which were ready for an expected actions from the anamy's side. As Soundwave was passing Sentinal, Autobots was menacingly impaling her with his optics making the femme feel like he, dispite the sircumsases, was thinking about making an attack, but for her releaf, bot continued his way, without making the most foolish and dangerouse mistake. Soundwave came closer to her group and stopped by Megaton's side, one thing running through her processor,'Just turn arround and get to the aircraft, turn arround and do not make any foolishness.' There were too many Autobots: Prime, Ironhide, Blurr, Prowl and some others; this would be just the most meaningless fight!
Thankfuly, Megatron gave Optimus the last look and turned to leave, Autobots doing the same. Decepticons reached and entered their aircraft. Megatron was slowly walking to his seat situated upper, behind the pilote Derones', but stopped not reaching it, back turned to his followers, as some Drones had already taken their places and turned the engines on. Decepticon leader was standing his servos crossed behind his back, watching the view through the front windows, while others, especially Starscreem and Thrust were waiting for him to start talking. Soundwave, as she always did, stood silencetly and with patiance, like nothing had happened, her confident look making both flyers start slowly loosing their temper. The Second in command through a look at her, then glanced at his leader, finaly deciding to start his speech.
"I hope that your time being in Iacon haven't bowered you much, Soundwave. But do you have any idea how much trouble your captivity caused us?"
'And here he goes...' Soundwave signed under her visor, rolling her optics again. She was standing a bit away and righter from Megatron and tried to ignore the seeker's displeased accusing tone, as other 'Cons were watching the three and Thrust, standing by Starscreem's side.
"How irresponsible you were by letting yourself get captured by Autobots! Do you realize the value of the information you-"
"That is enough, Starscreem." the voice of the Decepticon leader made the seeker cut his words. Magnatron turned and looking at Soundwave continued...
"Have they tried to question you?" the Decepticon leader asked. There was no time for the act of courtesy, they had to now how much did Autobots know and if they had managed to find out anything. Soundwave turned her helm at him, light blue lines appearing on the visor, as she started the recording of Jazz's voice.
"~Coordinates, projects, resources. NOW!~" everyone was silent, as Megatron narrowed his optics.
"Did Autobots get what they wanted?" there was a very short moment of waiting, as Soundwave remember about what Autobots did manage to find out. Her beeping a femme. This Autobots hadn't ever been thinking to find out about that... The Communication Officer shook her helm giving a negative answer.
"My Lord! We can't just believe in-"
"I am not going leave this unchecked, Starscreem." Megatron glanced at his Second, "And I am sure that Soundwave also realizes that being The First Communication Officer he will have to go through a test." Others instantly turned to Soundwave, who showed no reaction to these word. The 'test' meant Shockwave's memory readying machine, the one, which will give them ability to see that her visor was take... Soundwave had nothing to worry about, as managed to hide the info she was caring in the specially extra built-in part of her processor, which gave The Communication Officer possibility to keep such a great amount of information, if not the incident with her visor... But she still had time till the secret was revealed.
"And, the last." Megatron's voice was heard again and the next thing he said would have made Soundwave freeze, if she hadn't been already standing motionlessly.
"Tell me, Soundwave. Have Autobots taken your visor off?"
