8 On The Road Again...
Barbatos pov
I sit up after my short break and look at RC. She seems rather uncomfortable after our run in with Starscream. " Wanna talk about it? I can lend a ear... antenna... thing." I ask. RC gives a blank stare and " Pffftt hahaha." Weird. Seeing her laugh I ask " What?"
" Nothing it's just... thanks, but I'm not ready for that." with that she transforms back into a bike and start going. I follow suit and we continue our journey. We spend our time talking about what we'll do when we find the Autobots. RC wants to get back in the fight against the Decepticons. I honestly don't know what I'll do, but I hope I can get more answers about what I really am.

" DAMMNN THOSE INGRATES!!! I offer her a chance to redeem herself and she THROWS IT AWAY!!!" I fly my out of Earths atmosphere and head towards my ship. Although I'm a minor general of the Decepticons I was granted a fair small army of fifty bots in a C class battleship. I enter the hanger and am greeted by several of my subordinates with a salute.
I ignore their curious glaring at my injured face and head straight to the command deck. As I enter I see several officers working at their staions. " GET OUT!!!" I yell. They immediately leave as to avoid my ire and I am left alone in the room. I activate the long distance communications terminal and a large holo appears in front of me.
On the holo appears the silhouette of a large and menacing Cybertronian. I immediately kneel to show my respect. " Lord Megatron, I have come to report on my hunt for the traitor." The silhouette moves out of the shadows and reveals a Decepticon of graying silver with Cybertronian markings all over. He looks at me with a gaze of indifference. " Report." he replies, blunt and simple.
" My lord, the traitor, RC, has been located on a planet in system D 57901. I encountered her in the company of another Cybertronian... A Primal." The moment I mentioned Primal, Megatrons eyes gleamed but his face remains the same. " Tell me more of this Primal."

" So... Who's Starscream?" I ask. Although I know he's a Decepticon, it seems that RC knows him more than that. " Starscream is a Decepticon general, he's actually weak aside fron his heavier firepower, and he always prefers to run away when things get difficult."
" How do you know him?" She takes a few moments to think of what to say. " He and I were... colleagues." she replies. " As in you were a Decepticon? " RC remained silent at my question. " Welp, it doesn't matter to me. You didn't kill me and you're even willing to help me, not to mention I didn't even have knowledge of these things before I met you." I say
" It doesn't matter what you were, what matters is what you choose to be." I sa in earnest. " Thank you... sometimes you actually say something that isn't stupid." Should I tell her I got that from the internet? " No problem, we're partners after all."
After our little heart to heart we finally reach the border of Arizona. It won't be much longer till we reach our goal.

What do you guys think? Pretty good right? I'm trying to build the friendship between the two. Although she opened her spark a little, that doesn't mean it's the whole story. Try to guess the truth behind RCs origins.
