This is a tribute to Cover Me by Black Dragon Queen. It's an amazing story and you should SOOO read it. Barricade may seem VERY OC in this fic. If i feel like it, I'll do loads of different fics account this but with the same beginning. I was planning a fic like this. But it had a rather big change in it. I might put it up. I might not. XD Review and tell me if i should. The song is Breathe me by Sia. It's a beautiful song and i thought it fitted Barricade in Cover Me. I was listening to the song today, and Barricade came to mind. The sad part of his life. I'm going to do my best to flick between his old life and the current time.

A = current time. B = past. You will need to know this to understand the fic.

Breathe me

"Are we ever gunna get back to Tranquillity?"

Barricade was getting impatient. He swore he was going to go insane before they got off this ship. The fact that everyone hated him for denying the link with Sam made it 10 times worse. But he wasn't going to put the human in danger because of his own life and problems. He was like a bad luck charm. Everything went wrong when he was around.

"Barricade, we'll get there soon. Just be patient." Optimus said.

Barricade walked to the other side of the ship. Swearing quietly as he went. The Prime shook his head as the Decepticon walked away. He could see that the young mech was troubled. Barricade on the other hand, couldn't care less what the mechs who were staring at him thought. They could think and say what they wanted.

Night soon fell and everyone was in recharge. Barricade sat on the edge of the ship. His armour practically glowing in the moonlight. He was beautiful without being vain like Sunstreaker. He was beautiful in his own way.

One of the many secrets he kept from everyone, was that he loved to sing. He acted like he couldn't follow a tune to make them think he would be terrible at anything musical. He didn't want attention. He just wanted to stay in the dark, unnoticed. It wasn't like he could do it much anyway. Decepticons didn't appreciate the creative side some mechs had.

The reject began singing softly. His voice flowing over the water.

Help, I have done it again

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,

Yeah I think that I might break

I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me

As he finished the song, he sighed. If his caretaker hadn't dumped his on the streets, he might have had a normal life. He wouldn't have had to steal to survive. He wouldn't have had to sleep on the streets night after night. He wouldn't have had to kill someone to defend himself. The moon continued to glow, and Barricade continued to think about a normal life.

Sorry it was so short. This will be continued. Even if i have to die trying. And my other fics have a major writers block. Sorry people. Hope you read this and enjoy, especially you BDQ.
