By Any Means Necessary Ch. 11

When Eva stepped out of the cabin the next morning she walked over to Skywarp, "Did I really lick Starscream last night?" she asked.

Skywarp chuckled, "Yep, you sure did, we were all beginning to wonder if you had fried a circuit or something, but Starscream thought it was just another side effect from carrying the sparkling, not that that made any difference in how badly it freaked him out." he told her, laughing.

Eva groaned and leaned her forehead against his foot, "Maybe or it could have been a combination of that and the fact that I was exhausted, I tend to get a little crazy if I'm really tired." she told him blushing slightly.

"Cool maybe we should let you go without sleep more often and see what other new ways you can come up with to freak Screamer out with." Skywarp suggested.

"I don't think so, it's too embarrassing most of the time." Eva replied, "So do you have any plans for today? I could teach you to sew."

"Maybe later, Starscream is working on some new project and wants me to go find you a fridge so we don't have to go out as often to get you food." Skywarp told her.

"Okay, once you get it set up and working could you bring me a ton of sausage, and Hershey's chocolate." Eva asked.

"Is this another one of those pregnancy cravings? I don't know a lot about human food, but that doesn't sound like a normal combination." Skywarp asked.

"Maybe, but pregnant or not sausage and chocolate are actually pretty good together." Eva told him.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do for you, you won't go crazy if I don't get it for you until after we have the fridge chilled will you? You make a fun little sister, but I sure don't want you trying to lick me or bawling your eyes out if I don't get it for you fast enough."  Skywarp said.

"No, I'll be fine." Eva said, "Little sister huh?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sure, you may be human, but I always wanted a little sister and you make a better, more fun sister than anything I ever imagined." Skywarp told her.

Eva smiled, "Well I never had any desire to have a brother, but if I had had any idea brothers could be as much fun as you are I would have." she replied, "Now go get that fridge and maybe by the time you get back I'll have some clothes made that fit right and then we can move on to plotting what we can do to Starscream next."

"Sounds like a good plan to me." Skywarp said happily before taking off.

------------------

A couple of hours later Eva had several outfits cut out and was starting to sew them together when she heard Skywarp return. She headed to the door to greet him, but he set the new fridge down on the porch and started to walk away before she even got the door open.

She stepped outside and started to walk towards where he was headed towards Starscream.

"Hey Screamer, I thought you might want to know I saw Megatron on my way back and I think he's headed here." Skywarp said.

"What?! He's coming here?" Starscream asked a hint of worry in his voice.

"As far as I could tell, he was alone and headed in this direction, I can't think of any other reason he would come this far north." Skywarp replied.

"Get Eva and-" he stopped as a large alien looking jet started to descend towards them and then transformed.

"What are you doing here lord Megatron?" Starscream asked moving so he was standing in front of Eva.

"I came to see how you're experiment with the fleshling is going." Megatron replied.

"It's going quite well, both the sparkling and the human are doing well, I believe there is a good chance the sparkling will survive." Starscream replied.

"Where is the fleshling?" Megatron asked.

"Right here." Eva said stepping around Starscream's foot so she could look up at Megatron, "So you're the leader of the Decepticons?" she asked mentally adding 'and the one most responsible for me being stuck in this situation.'

"That's lord Megatron to you fleshling." he replied.

"Lord Mega-ugly is more like it, how do you decide who leads the Decepticons, have a competition to see who's uglier? I thought Starscream was ugly, but you look like you got your face run through a garbage disposal. I mean I've heard of faces only a mother could love, but I've got to wonder if even a mother could love that face. Then again if your mother couldn't stand to look at you long enough to properly raise you that would explain why you ended up being so incredibly stupid." Eva said.

"Why you insolent little maggot!" Megatron yelled angrily raising his fist.

Eva gasped in shock, but didn't have time to react as his fist suddenly came down towards her, in a split second she realized instead of being slightly off to the side like Starscream had done to try to scare her into obeying a few times, Megatron's fist was coming strait at her.
Then suddenly Starscream caught his arm, stopping him and Eva ran over to Skywarp who quickly picked her up.

"How dare you get in my way." Megatron growled angrily as he suddenly slammed his fist into the side of Starscream's head, knocking him to the ground.

"Lord Megatron the sparkling." Starscream said starting to try to get back up.

"You can get a new human and create a new sparkling for your experiment, I will not allow any creature that shows such disrespect towards me to live." Megatron said as he suddenly kicked Starscream hard enough in the chest to throw him backwards several feet.  "And you will not get in my way again." he told him as he viciously twisted Starscream's arm causing the metal to twist and bend.

"Skywarp do something, make him stop." Eva said desperately.

"There's nothing I can do, Starscream told me to take care of you and not interfere." Skywarp told her.

"Forget what he told you-"

"He'll be alright, Megatron won't kill him." Skywarp told her.

"But he's hurting him, you have to do something." she said then turned back to look at Starscream as she heard what sounded like a large amount of metal being snapped in two and could see Starscream's arm now twisted beyond recognition hanging limply at his side with pale blue liquid dripping from it.

"Lord Megatron please, you don't understand, this could happen with every human we try to use, look it up if you don't believe me, it's called mood swings it's a side effect of human pregnancy, it makes them act crazy. She'll be screaming and insulting us one minute and cowering in fear the next, it's completely unpredictable and will probably happen with any human we use. It just means if this works we'll have to limit those who watch the humans to ones who understand this and can ignore it." Starscream told him.

"He's right lord Megatron, only last night she went from screaming to crying to even licking Starscream before we were able to get her calmed down, pregnancy just makes humans crazy." Thundercracker told him as he ran over to them.

Megatron hesitated a moment obviously looking it up to confirm what they were telling him and Skywarp suddenly placed Eva in his cockpit.

"What are you doing?" Eva asked.

"I don't know, Starscream just said that it's important that I make sure Megatron can't run a scan on you and the sparkling, but he didn't say why." he replied through the radio in the cockpit.

Megatron suddenly grabbed Starscream by the throat and slammed him back into some trees, "Fine, you may keep you disrespectful little maggot, but if you ever get in my way again I'll make you regret it." he said angrily before dropping Starscream to the ground and taking off.

As soon as Megatron was gone Thundercracker and Skywarp ran to Starscream's side. "Do you have any sever damage aside from your arm?" Thundercracker asked.

"Where's Eva, if she alright? Is the sparkling alright?" Starscream asked.

"A bit shaken, but they're fine." Skywarp replied as he took Eva out of his cockpit.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know, I never thought he would attack me or hurt you." Eva sobbed feeling completely overwhelmed with guilt as she looked at the large amount of damage Starscream had received because of protecting her, or at  least the sparkling. No mater how much she hated what she was going through because of him, there was a small part of her that understood why he had done it and she couldn't stand seeing him hurt so badly because of her.

"Shh it's alright, I've suffered far worse than this, I'll be fine and it's more my fault than your's, I should have warned you as soon as you started getting so over confident about the sparkling keeping us from hurting you, that it wouldn't work against Megatron. I just never thought he would bother coming out here." Starscream told her, "Skywarp take her inside and see if you can get her calmed down, she's too stressed, she needs to relax." he said.

"Alright." Skywarp replied before taking Eva back to the cabin.
