[Anemone keeps her voice steady despite the bitter emotions that swirl through her core. Despite the memories of her father that have haunted her since she'd learned what Leo had to tell her. She works hard to pretend that the unfairness of it all isn't as crushing and exhausting as it is.]
...
I wish you guys could have met him as he was. He was so... kind and gentle. Wise. He always seemed to have advice for every situation and he was always there when you needed him.
[Her voice hardens into a familiar hard determination. It hurts. It'll always hurt, but Anemone isn't going to lie facedown on her bed and cry about it forever. She has to do something. She'll always do something.]
Maybe you guys can still meet him someday. No matter what he's been turned into, he's still my dad. I'm going to get him back.
...
Would you... help me? It'll be more dangerous and...
[His own hands tighten around his communicator. He hates that there's a distance between them.
He can't even imagine how things would be if it were his own dad, if he were in this position. But he has no doubt that he'd say the same thing Anemone does then.]
You don't even have to ask. I'd... If it were you or any of my family, I'd do the same thing. You know I would.
[Anemone feels a natural roil of anger at the message and who it's from, but she bites it down and tries not to let her feelings show in the one single word she sends back.]
Fine Let's meet at Maccadams I can't blow you up there
ignore the previous timestamps, this is after twitch and annie had their friendship breakup
[When Annie arrives, Megatron is waiting at one of the tables near the entrance. He is looking at and past the space between his hands as he turns over old memories while he waits, though he looks up immediately when he spots her coming. He nods once]
Anemone, I haven't heard from you recently. I'll assume something happened. Would it be helpful to blow objects and ourselves up in the training room for a while, or would it be better to go off the ship for an excursion?
[Anemone isn't in the best of moods when she finally shows up and drifts lifelessly over to Megatron's table. She settles across from him, an aura of anger scorching his way as she levels her gold gemstone eyes at him.]
What do you want?
[She snaps, her temper frayed and her patience limited.]
