"I would appreciate your assistance with the victory party," Soundwave said, and gave Blaster a meaningful look, with an empathic assurance that he understood and accepted the offer. "I have been jamming with some of the local musicians and spinning vinyl at parties hereabout, and I have missed that greatly. I will have to find a way to make time for it when we return to Sanctuary permanently and I leave someone else in charge of the Embassy--though I will always visit. I don't know who that will be. I'd make Megatron do it as penance, but unfortunately, I can't. Anyhow, I recall that the Blaster in my world wasn't half bad at that sort of thing, even if he did spend a lot of his time on the air blathering about politics I had no use for whatsoever. Are you?"
Ravage chuckled. "That would be a good revenge," she said, shaking her head. "Megatron's a better mech than he's ever been before but he certainly put us all through some misery and he owes us for having to clean up his mess!" She shrugged. "Starscream...in our universe...well, he used to be an aft and frankly he still is. But after Megatron abdicated and Soundwave and I became conjunx endurae, and he became ruler of Cybertron...a lot of things changed between me and him, because none of the things he and I had been rivals for mattered to either of us any more, and he started supporting me. Against Prime, and Fort Max, in particular. He helped me out in a few tough situations when I wasn't at all expecting him to. It was absolutely beneficial to him to do so, mind you, but that's still a huge improvement--he used to be willing to cut off his own nose to spite his face when it came to old grudges. I'd say more about that over a glass of high-grade sometime, but...not right now. It's not late enough and I'm not tipsy enough to discuss all that."
She looked sidewise at her daughter and Silverwing. There was a lot they didn't need to know about the previous relationships between herself, and Megatron, and Starscream. She wasn't trying to hide it and she'd answer any questions honestly if they heard something about it, but...it wasn't a thing she was going to bring up. Not after the difficult conversation they'd already had to have about Optimus Prime.
Viridian snorted.
Ravage leaned over to stroke her daughter's ears.
"You're right of course," Silverwing finally said. "But I do trust you. I do because Soundwave does. And he'd know. It's true that Ravage enjoys beating aft more than Soundwave does, but Soundwave knows just about everything, especially about people."
A faint energon flush bloomed over the derma of Soundwave's cheeks, and since they'd been eating snacks, Blaster and everyone else there could see it. "I do work very hard at that," Soundwave said, "but I don't violate people's privacy if I can avoid it, Silverwing. And...neither should you, Viridian." He knew his daughter had been eavesdropping on her mother's thoughts.
