TFA 'verse. Space over Earth. Blackout remembers

Megatron nodded with satisfaction as he looked down at the blue and white orb beneath him, not blinking as the sound of a clank behind him heralded a howl of pain from Starscream.

"Those pitiful Autobots will soon know my wrath," he murmured, pleased.

Then he frowned and looked up as the silence at his side registered. "Is something wrong, my Blackout?"

The big femme blinked as though she'd been wandering far in her thoughts. "My files are back in order. I remember everything."

Slag. "That's wonderful." He smiled, making it as charming as he could.

"I don't remember us making a word bond." She frowned down at him.

"Don't you?" His smile grew more confident. "I remember it clearly."

"When did it happen?" She folded her arms over her chest, her frown deepening.

"Why, when I told you that you were my mate in front of all those witnesses, and you agreed with me." He indicated the three mechs at the back of the room with one hand.

Blackout's viz scanners flashed at his duplicity, and then she gave a grumble of displeasure. //I told you why I didn't want to bind myself to you. Depending on others is a weakness.//

//I depend on no one but myself,// he countered calmly. //But with your canniness and wit at my side I will nonetheless become even stronger.// Then he made a dismissive gesture. //Enough remonstrance. I have what I wanted. Will you break your word?//

//No.// She narrowed her gaze. //I am your word mate. And loyal to your will, my lord.//

//So long as it pleases you to be.// His amusement showed clearly. //If you think I'm being an aft I know very well that I shall be hearing about it.//

//If I think you haven't given enough thought to something, I'll tell you,// she countered.

//It's the same thing.// He smirked, feeling that his decision to hunt the femme down among the Decepticon ranks and have her memory restored had been the right one.

She only scowled and sent a shot toward the combatants.

"Ouch! My lord Megatron, why have I been fired on?" demanded Shockwave, his hands to his abused skidplate.

Megatron's smirk only grew stronger as he turned back to the view of Earth. "It seems you've annoyed my consort, Shockwave. She's rather touchy at times, though unquestionably loyal to me."

The purple mech blinked his confusion, but then noticed the very aware and focused look being directed toward him from Blackout and felt a little shiver along his relays. Does she remember what I did, all those stellar cycles ago?

Blackout's expression went enigmatic as she turned away to reply to something Megatron said to her, and Shockwave turned away as well, only to come face to face with Lugnut's smirk and Starscream's cheesy grin. "What are you looking at, you idiots? If she's Megatron's second that puts you even further down the ranks."

They just smirked and grinned a little more widely and resumed arguing about the best way to deal with the pink and white Autobot.

Shockwave sighed, feeling the beginning of a processor ache coming on.
