Elena was sitting on the berth once more. By the look on her face, you could now notice that she is okay now, but she wasn't happy. Well, either sad or angry. More like depressed.

Steeljaw came in with another cube of energon. Ever since she refused to refuel one time and he kissed her he has now stayed there till she refuels. Luckily he hasn't been asked for anything important now. When others in leadership team heard what happened they were...well, at first they made a joke on that it sure saves on energon, but taking note they need her alive the joke end there. So, they really suggested that he should try to convince her to trust him. Unbelievable.

He placed the cube on the table near her when he saw her face.

"Something wrong?" he asked. Elena just looked away.

Steeljaw sighs for this. She is doing it again. In this, he sat near her.

"You want to talk about it?" he asked.

"You will just use them against me," she said.

"I won't," he said while gently lifting her face up to look at him. She looked directly into his yellow optics a while before she moves her head away and shut hers. This leaves him confused a bit. She didn't want to look at him, but not because she doesn't want to talk. It looked like she was scared. Was she afraid that he will...what is it again...kiss her again? Looks like it did affect her. Well, it makes sense, she is not like any other Cybertronian. She used to live on this planet, as the rumor says. 'This planet...'

"Um...May I come in?" heard the voice behind. It was Toolbox on the door, who had found both in deep silence.

Then Steeljaw gets up and goes to the other door, which leads to the bathroom.

"Make sure she refuels, mini-con," said Steeljaw before left the room. This surprised Elena and tried to look at what was going on, he has gone.

Both of them remained quiet.

"Um...What happened?" asked Toolbox.

"I...do not know..." said Elena and looked at the door of the bathroom where was heard the shower going on.

In Scrapyard Bee team got another con into a stasis pod. After doing so they went to the command center to see if there's anything new. Ever since Elena got captured Bumblebee asked Fixit to check any activity near. Who knows if Elena has managed to escape or one of the Steeljaw's gang was onto something, which they could capture and ask where they are.

"Anything, Fixit?" asked Bumblebee.

"Not so car-tar-Far, sir," said Fixit. "And it looks like there isn't any Decepticon activity for now."

"I don't know usually complain, but I really wish there would be one and it would be one of those, who got free by Steeljaw, " said YoungStar.

"Well, we all do," said Bumblebee. "But we need to be patient."

"You haven't, by the way, informed this to Optimus, haven't you," asked AquaStar.

"No.," said Bumblebee. "I'm not even sure how to say it. You can't just call and say "I guess what she did again. Gets captured by bad guys just save us". I'm not even sure how he will react."

"You know, if you put on that way, he won't take it well," said GaiaStar.

"Umm...Lieutenant..." said Fixit. "We got visitors..." he said and showed the screen, but that was soon unnecessary when they heard a sound of engines above them. They look up and saw familiar ship landing near the scrapyard, but out of sight from public eyes.

Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock went to check the ship. It's Cybertronian for sure, but who is another case The doors of the ship opened and showed familiar faces.

"What are you doing?" asked Strongarm. Out of the ship came out Sideswipe, Drift, Windblade, and Optimus Prime.

"We got a lift back here," said Sideswipe.

"We all can see that," said Bumblebee. "But weren't you looking other Decepticons in other continents? And "

"We were until these got worried," said Windblade pointing FlameStar, AshStar and...

"SweetStar?" Yes, SweetStar was with them. FlameStar and AshStar stood side of her, while she tried to look to find someone.

"But if she is here then..." Bumblebee said and look upon the ship, where Optimus stood, while familiar faces came forward.

"The team Prime!"

"Strongarm, they already had passed by here," said Sideswipe.

Yes, in the ship's door was standing Ultra Magnus, Arcee and Bulkhead with Optimus Prime.

"Looks like the old team is back together," said Bumblebee, while they all came forward and Bulkhead him a bearhug.

"Most of it, actually," Arcee said. "We still not sure where Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Smokescreen are."

"But you could still say the team is back." joked Bulkhead.

"But how come they are here?" asked Grimlock.

"We were surprised as well," said Ultra Magnus. "Once we came to Cybertron to return prisoners back, SweetStar informed us to Star Tower without telling no reason. Then before we could ask why someone was knocking at the door. We were sent through space bridge to our ship and SweetStar set our coordinates to here."

"And she didn't tell you why?" asked Bumblebee and looked on FlameStar and AshStar who were still with SweetStar. They shook their head telling they didn't know what was going on.

"Well, we really could use more help," said Strongarm.

"Help? What has happened?" asked Windblade.

Bumblebee looks stern and worried as if what had was something embarrassing or hurtful.

"Bumblebee, what is it?" asked Optimus. In this Bumblebee straight at him.

"Elena was captured."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, including Stars.

"Again?! Why is that the cons want from her?" said Bulkhead.

"Take it easy, Bulk," said Arcee.

Optimus looked on Bumblebee showing calm yet worried look. As much as he hates to think his daughter was captured by Decepticons, there has to be a reason she was taken.

"Tell me what happened?"

Back in a crashed ship, Elena was getting tired to just lay down and do nothing. Luckily, she has refueled enough to feel a bit better and get up but get up for what. To be honest, there was nothing to do here, since she was a prisoner.

"Getting tired?" asked Steeljaw, while he was making something on his desk.

"Isn't it obvious?" she said. "I don't usually complain because I usually do something while I have to stay in one place."

"You can go out for a walk if you want," said Steeljaw.

"And come across with a con who wants kill me?"

"You can go with someone who doesn't. Like Clampdown or Thunderhoof..."

"Or you. No, thank you."

"I would, but I will be needed with others," said Steeljaw.

"So, it's either grab or mafia reindeer."

"I would find someone else if you don't like them."

"Who doesn't want to kill me?"

"Let see, if I don't count those who have been here already. There's Overload,... "

"Pass. He wants to use me to lure my dad."

"Okay... There's one named Bisk..."

"game-geek. Unless I can shut him up I'll pass."

"Quillfire?"

"He believes authorities are tyrants, so I don't think it will work."

"True...Springload?"

"There's NO WAY I'm getting near that Crazy frog!" At this point, Steeljaw was losing patience.

"Groundpounder?" he asked with a low growl. Elena stayed to think a while.

"Well, he could do, but Aren't you worried he might crush me?"

"He won't carry you if that's what you mean. He simply will walk next to you," explained Steeljaw. " But if you want I could another one make sure he won't stumble on you."

"If it is grab or mafia reindeer, fine with me."

"Then it's deal," said Steeljaw while finished what he was doing. "Here," he said and gave her silver bracelet.

"What's this?" she asked.

"It lets me know if something happens to you and locates you."

"Like tracking device and health meter?"

"Yes"

Elena remained looking at him. Was he really concerned about her? But why? Because he thinks she is weak. Well, maybe a little, but wouldn't he just then keep her in the room. But instead, he is... No. Don't let him trick you. He is sneaky Decepticon who tries to get what he wants. The only thing he cares is to take over the Earth.

Steeljaw could notice that she was doubting. So, he left the bracelet near her and headed to the door.

"I have other things handle. I'll ask Clampdown and Groundpounder to show you the place," he said. In one moment he looked at her, but no one didn't say a word before he left. Elena only remained confused. This is totally different than before. In Starship Nemesis she was an object to use against Autobots. That's how Megatron did. But Steeljaw always was looking after. Why?
