(("I'll meet you by the forest." Bee grinned.))

That night Bee left the base to 'go out for a drive' but when he hit the forest he was met with not his new spark mate, but Airachnid. On sight she attacked, baring her fangs and charging at Bumblebee. Bee got his weapons out, dodging all her attacks. He shot at her, jumping out of the way and scowling when she leapt into the trees. He suddenly lost her to the dense woods, keeping his sensors high and his weapons out.

"What do you want, Airachnid?!" He scowled, looking around. He suddenly let out a scream as pain shot down his spine, she had dug one of her stingers into his door wing and out the other side. She kicked him backwards, dodging all the shots he shot at her. Her webs trapped him to the spot he stood, forcing him to his knees. Airachnid strode towards him, forcing him to look up at her.

"I do not see what he sees in you..." She murmured to herself, too quiet for Bumblebee's audials to pick it up. She stepped on his helm and forced him on his chassis.

"What do you want?!" He struggled to break free of the web around him. She smirked, moving around him and placing her servos to his door wings. Bee grit his denta, his optics squeezing shut in pain as his already bruised one was gripped tightly. With a very strong pull Bee let out a scream so loud his voice crackled out before breaking as Airachnid ripped his door wings off, energon gushing out onto her.

"Give my thanks to lord Megatron!" She cackled before dropping the wings to the forest floor and diving into the ground, disappearing. Bee scrunched his optics shut in pain, any movement below his neck hurt like the pit and caused more energon to leak out. He sent out a signal to base.

"Bumblebee what's wrong?! Your signal just went wild!" Arcee had yelled.

"A-Arcee have Ratchet come and get me p-please..I-I'm hurt badly.." He babbled out his coordinates, almost instantly Ratchet and Arcee had appeared, quickly covering Bee's wounds and helping him into the ground bridge. As the ground bridge closed is when Megatron had gotten to the area, earlier he was almost knocked into stasis when his spark suddenly sent pain through his cables, still feeling it even now. His optics widened when he saw a drilled hole, a scary amount of light blue energon in the grass, and Bee's ripped off door wings, he quickly flew up to go take care of that damned spider.

"What happened..?!" The children were still at the base as it was a Friday night, Raf nearly screamed when Bee showed up.

"A-Arachnid attacked me, I-I couldn't hit her and she-ah..- ripped my wings off.." He murmured out, his optics dimming. Ratchet gasped, quickly bringing him to an area to repair him. They laid him on his chassis, Ratchet quickly getting to repairs. He closed off the area and put Bee into stasis.

"Ah, Lord Megatron, you wanted to see me?" Arachnid strutted over to the warlord, her body clean of any spilled energon. Megatron narrowed his optics, grasping Arachnid by her small throat, his talons digging into her neck cables.

It took hours before Bee was allowed to be awake, his wings were beyond repair so they had to close up the wounds without them. Bee had gone silent, his expression became upset, and when he could move he had just went into his room, his helm buzzing from a certain warlord trying to contact him. Bee wouldn't answer, he felt betrayed.

Why did he send her after me? We bonded for Primus sake! He thought to himself, pain buzzing through his spark. Coolant pooled in his eyes but he fought the feeling away.

The next day Bee had locked the doors to his berthroom, refusing to speak to anyone, not even to Optimus or the kids. This went on for a week, everyone tried to talk to Bee but nobody got him out of his room. Ratchet tried to think of an excuse for it like 'His back is still healing' or something like that but they all knew it was something else, some odd mystery that enveloped Bee these days..

"Lord Megatron, you can't just barge in and get him." Knockout said curtly, "as your physician I won't allow it." He had Megatron on the berth in the med bay, working to make sure Megatron remained safe, any time Bee had any sort of upset notion or pain, Megatron felt it tenfold.

"Knockout this had been the fifth time I'd almost been knocked into stasis and my bond mate refuses to answer any of my calls." He growled, looking down at his spark in his open chamber. "I know getting attacked like that would mess with a mech's head but he doesn't think I sent her..does he?" His sharp denta bit his scarred lip plates. Knockout shook his head, seeing Soundwave come in.

"Ah, Soundwave, is everything alright with you?" Knockout asked, looking him up and down, then seeing a tablet in Soundwave's servos. "Hm? What is that?" Soundwave showed the screen to Megatron, who saw it was a tablet used for visual communications, Optimus Prime's face on the screen as the leader of the autobot's was calling.

"Answer it, Soundwave.." He sighed, "maybe I'll get an answer about Bumblebee from him." He pinched the bridge of his enstril. Soundwave pressed a button and the Prime's face appeared on the screen.

"Megatron? Are you able to hear me?" Optimus asked, fixing his position on camera. Megatron merely nodded, looking at him.

"What is it, Prime? I'm a bit busy at the moment." The tyrant growled, looking at the screen.

"I was going to ask of your assistance, but are you alright?" Megatron's open chamber was seen on Optimus's screen.

"I'm fine. Talk, I haven't got all day. Assistance for what?"

"I am sure you may know, but someone in your ranks is with Bumblebee." Optimus said.

"Yes, I know of that, what could i possibly do?" he narrowed his optics.

"Perhaps you could come and speak with Bumblebee? You know more about this than the autobots and I do.." That statement made Megatron chuckle.

"I may be able to help...where should we meet?"

"Well, Bumblebee refuses to exit his room, can I trust you to come alone to my base of operations?" Optimus asked, though apprehension was on his faceplates. Megatron smirked and nodded, closing up his spark chamber.

"I beleive I can be trusted." He said calmly. "I take it I'm allowed to come now?" Megatron asked. Optimus nodded, asking for coordinates. Megatron told his coordinates before standing. Optimus hung up and moments later a ground bridge appeared in the room. Megatron told Soundwave to watch guard before leaving.

When Megatron entered the base he was met with stares of shock from the organics and glares from the autobots.

"Optimus, you're really sure this is safe?" Ratchet asked, looking between Megatron and the Prime. Optimus nodded, "Lets at least keep him under surveillance!" Ratchet insisted.

"No no, this is something personal, he is just here to talk with Bumblebee."

"What personal thing does Bee have with..with him?!" Raf asked nervously, Megatron placed a hand to his own hip, looking at Optimus.

"May I please just go talk to your scout? I don't have time for this useless rabble." Megatron said curtly, Optimus nodded, showing Megatron to Bee's room. When Optimus left Megatron tried to get the door open but it wouldn't. "Scout, let me in.."

"What?! M-Megatron?!" Bee's voice was heard. Megatron went to speak but Bee cut him off. "Get out of here!" Megatron gripped the wall when pain went through his body.

"Let me in! Lets not have this argument outside or I'm blasting the door open!" He growled, pain seeping through him and making his temper rise. The doors suddenly slid open, Megatron calming himself before walking in. The doors shut behind him and red optics widened when he saw Bee; curled up on his side, his back had spots from when his wounds were welded closed.

"What do you want?" Bee grumbled, not even looking at him. "Haven't you done enough?"

"Why haven't you spoken to me all week? What in the pit are you talking about?" Megatron growled, walking up to the berth. Bed sat up, his servos clenched.

"Does 'give my thanks to lord Megatron' ring a bell?!" Bee growled, blue optics glaring at Megatron. "Are you angry she only managed to rip my wings off?!" Megatron's eyes widened before he growled.

"You think I sent her?! Why would I do that if we're bonded?!"

"Well you are a decepticon." Bee said coldly. "Maybe you just wanted to lure me into a false security and then offline me." The tyrant's optics widened.

"Oh that is it! You won't listen to me in any way right?" He said, gripping Bee's arm.

"Nothing if it's coming from you, you creep!" Bee yelled. "Let me go!" Megatron swiftly pinched a node on the back of Bee's neck, knocking him into stasis. He felt a bit woozy before that went away and he picked up Bee and hefted him over his shoulder. He made sure to keep a tight grip before exiting his room and he saw them all in the main hub of the base still.

"What did you do to Bumblebee?!" Miko yelled at him, Bulkhead having to hold her back. Megatron ignored everyone's yelling before looking at Optimus. Optimus managed to quiet them down, even though they all looked ready to tackle him to the ground.

"May I borrow your scout for the rest of the day? He won't listen to me so I decided we're going to the source of the problem. But since she's offline, I'll need to set up a patch." Megatron asked Optimus. Optimus shut his optics in thought.

"If I find out you put him in any pain, you'll be sorry." Optimus said finally.

"I'll bring him back by tommorow afternoon. Sound fair? If he's not back by then you're welcome to come and take him back." Megatron smirked.

"Hold up a moment!" Ratchet's voice broke the conversation. "If you're taking Bee..put this on." He handed Megatron a tiny black device. "At least then we'll be able to hear what's going on."

Megatron rolled his eyes but nodded, letting Ratchet place the device right on top of the insignia on his chassis.

"I'll have him back by noon." Megatron said, keeping his hold on Bee, watching Ratchet open up a ground bridge to the Nemisis. He left, leaving the room in silence. Ratchet went back to the monitors, putting the volume up to hear what was going on with Megatron.

"Ah, so he listened to you?" Knockout asked, seeing Megatron lay Bee on the medical berth.

"Unfortunately, no. I had to knock him into stasis just so he wasn't getting angry with me. Set up a patch and wake him up." Megatron ordered. "I want him to see what I had done after he got attacked by Arachnid." Breakdown had Megatron lay on the medical berth next to Bee, Knockout easily waking Bee up.

"Wh-What the?!" He snapped, looking around. He went to get up but froze when he couldn't. "What're you fraggers doing?! Let me go!" He saw Breakdown hook up Megatron before the warlord looked over at him.

"You wouldn't listen to me and so I had to take matters to my own servos, BumbleBee. Everything you'll see is the truth, it's impossible to change anything in this." Megatron growled. Knockout was at the monitor typing in codes to begin the patch. Bee's body stopped struggling as he felt stasis come on.

When Bee opened his eyes it was dark, it looked like the forest they were in before, seeing Megatron fly over head, suddenly dropping before he became stable again and landed near him. Red optics widened before he ran towards him, straight through him actually. Bee turned around to see Megatron examine the discarded door wings, spilled energon, and hole in the ground before he growled and took off again.

"Come, or you won't see what I brought you into my mind for." Megatron said curtly, appearing next to him. They began walking, the area around them changing to the deck of the Nemisis. The two saw Arachnid and Megatron.

"Ah, Lord Megatron, you wanted to see me?" Arachnid strutted over to the warlord, her body clean of any spilled energon. Megatron narrowed his optics, grasping Arachnid by her small throat, his talons digging into her neck cables.

"What did you do, Spider." He snarled, grasping her stingers and ripping them off. She fell to the ground in pain. Megatron stepped on her chassis to keep her down. "Why did I find my bondmate's wings and his energon on the ground?!" He snarled, pinning her servos above her helm.

"You have no proof it was me!" Arachnid snapped, gasping as Megatron unsheathed his blade. He made a move to strike before she begged to stop. "I-I admit it..I tried to kill that autobot. I bugged you when I grabbed your throat those few days ago..." He let her stand and sheathed his blade, he knew she wouldn't drop such a subject. She went to leave before suddenly charging at Megatron. Megatron stood there for a moment before aiming his cannon and firing with lightning speed. Arachnid fell against him, her omentum had a large hole through it. Megatron's blade unsheathed and went straight through her chamber to finish the job. He called for some lower ranks to clean up the hallow husk of a former cybertronian before heading inside.

Bee's eyes widened, more surprised than anything.

"Bring us back, Knockout." The Megatron that was next to Bee said, the world around them twisted and swirled before they both woke up back on the medberth. Megatron looked over at Bee.

"That's the thruth." Megatron said curtly, getting up. Bee got up quickly.

"M-Megatron wait! Listen to me!" Bee mumbled, "I-I'm sorry! Look I didn't realise that's what had happened!" Megatron had started walking and Bee followed him. "I-It's just that she mentioned you and my mind went to the worst place.. I'm sorry.." He grasped his servo with his own two, bowing his head. Megatron suddenly picked him up and pinned him to the wall, kissing him deeply. Bee whimpered softly when he kissed back, blushing when he looked up at Megatron.

"You had me worried and in pain for a to me next time, would you?" He smirked. Bee smiled, leaning forward and kissing him again. He wrapped his arms around Megatron's neck, their lips moving as Bee opened his mouth, Megatron's glossa pushing into his mouth. Bee moaned softly, it had been too long without his bond mate's contact. His spark thudded against it's chamber. Megatron picked him up where he could carry him, kissing him deeply as he did so. He only pulled away once, and that was to go through the halls to his berthroom. He took the bug off him and crushed it, so even though they were found out, the autobots wouldn't hear them interface if they chose to. He had Bumblebee lay on the berth, laying with him. At first it was just laying together, the plating over their chambers pressed together. Soon Megatron moved so he was over Bumblebee, kissing and licking at his neck cables, his fans immediately kicking in, much louder than Bee's because of his alt mode's engine. Bee blushed, his fans roaring.

"I-It's been awhile..." The little bot mumbled, his faceplates heating up. Megatron grinned sharp denta at the other mech, kissing him softly. So soft the much smaller bot was sure he would have melted if he wasn't being held by Megatron. Bee got an idea, his spark chamber opening up with a soft hiss, Megatron catching the idea and opened his own up as well. Bee held one of Megatron's servos, intwining their fingers. They pressed their sparks together, Bee had started panting, shaking slightly. It felt so good to both of them, as they hadnt bonded in a while and both were unhappy for that time, so the sudden closeness sent tingles through both of their frames. Megatron kissed Bee's lips once more and his talons gently rubbed at the sm

ooth metal of his hips. The scout's optics shut softly, a soft moan escaping his lips.

"M-May we...?" Bumblebee began before Megatron kissed him again.
