The Autobots had finally won and captured most Decepticons after something went wrong for the opposing faction during a big battle. One of the mechs that were captured was Starscream.

You'd came to Optimus with an idea you'd had after thinking about it for a while: therapy and rehabilitation for Decepticons, trying to convince them to defect. And, unsurprisingly, Prime had agreed.

The mech you'd been assigned after the Decepticon Rehabiliation campaign had launched and many bots joined was Starscream.

It's been about a month and a half, and he's put up every wall possible; insults, attempting to fight you, dismissing you, ignoring you, threatening you- everything.

He expects you to give up and leave or 'punish' him- more like abuse, but that's what he dubs it as. But, surprisingly, you've been patient and stayed by his side- you've had actual faith in him, which you've voiced a million times.

He doesn't believe you, you know that, but you can see that you're breaking down the titanium walls he's built around himself- you're doing it with a toothpick, but you're slowly breaking down his metaphorical walls with each session.

You've noticed how tense he is and the various wrongly-healed injuries all over his frame, but you don't comment on them.

You don't mock him for them like so many others have.
