“Honestly I don’t even know why you’re thinking about it so hard. The answer should be obvious.”

Starscream’s biting voice echoed around the empty hanger. Thundercracker and Skywarp say nothing, but their stances mirror his. Cloaked in superiority. They were the elite trine after all.

And maybe you could be too, if you agree to.

Starscream wasn’t one to offer this to just anyone. He liked you, tolerated you enough to allow you in his inner circle. He also wasn’t an idiot. Seekers as a sub-species have begun to grow just about extinct.

Keeping another seeker close, letting them into the trine even, was just as much about survival instinct as it was a personal choice. You weren’t half bad to look at and your ability was very useful. His patience was starting to wear thin as he awaited his answer.
