Soundwave's POV
"Where have you been!?" An angry voice called out, apparently not noticing me. "Come inside right now and-" I chose this moment to make myself known, pulling her arm out of the woman's grip, and gently pushing Iris behind me. The woman glowered at me. 
"Who the heck are you?!? Did she have to seduce someone to "save her from our wrath?!" Now move out of the way so I can give this mistake what she deserves for being late from school!" I stepped closer to her, drawing myself to my full height to seem more intimidating. She backed away as I spoke, 
                          
"I refuse to let you touch her, and she did not seduce me. I chose to help her of my own accord. Now, tell me right now why you hate her, and what you told the rest of the town so that they hate her as well. And I will not take no for an answer!"
                          
The woman stared at me, shocked. It was clear that no one had ever dared to use that tone with her. Then, her face turned red. 
                          
"Why we hate her is our business, not yours! Now let her go before I call the cops!" 
                          
I knew this was a bluff. While looking up the town, I discovered it was one of the few towns with no police stations, so the police took even longer than normal to get to an emergency. When I gave her a look that said I knew she was bluffing, she got even more angry. But I had had enough. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now. I didn't care what I had to do to her or anyone else in the house to get them. Iris was the only exception of humans I don't like. I grabbed her harshly. 
                          
"Tell me what I want to know right now!!!"
                          
She just smirked at me. 
                          
"Fine. I'll tell you. I know you will hate her too once I'm done." 
                          
I growled at her, and she rolled her eyes and let us inside. I made sure that Iris was close to me, and shielded her slightly from the harsh gaze of her mother.  Her mother led us to the "living room", and we sat down on the "sofa". 
                          
"Now, let's get started shall we? I'm her mother, Rebecca. My husband, Mike, and I actually have three children: Daniel, Colin, and Anna, and they are such dears! You see, Iris here we adopted. We took her in our of the goodness of our hearts, after she was used in a failed experiment that left her blind. Of course, they never told us that she was blind before we picked her up, so that was a nice surprise! We wanted a child who could do most of the work for us, and we got one that would require more work from us! She's nothing but a freak! I don't know anything about her biological parents, but I don't blame them for giving this price of trash up. Honestly, she's a crybaby! She gets a scratch and acts like her arm got cut off! We told the village that she was involved in experiments that made her kill people, because we couldn't let her have friends, now could we? Everyone here is so simple minded, and believed it without question, and now, until you came along, there is no one she can turn to, or tell of what we do to her. Besides it doesn't matter. She's nothing but a monster."
                          
I clenched my fists in anger. It wasn't her fault that she was experimented on! She didn't choose that life! For them to blame her for it was ridiculous! I turned to Iris. 
"Let's go," I told her. "We're done here."
I took her hand and led her to the door. Her mother smirked at me. 
"I'm surprised you don't hate her. She has killed people you know."
I whipped around and grabbed her wrists harshly. 
"If what you say is even true, then it never was her fault. Don't blame her, blame the people who experimented on her."
I let her go and shoved her away. Then, I grabbed Iris and we walked towards my alt mode. I now had no choice but to take her to the Nemesis. There was no way she could stay here. I resolved to hide her from Megatron until either she became useful enough to where he wouldn't kill her, tell him and say she was my pet, hide her until she was discovered and accept my punishment, or give her to Knockout and see if he could fix her eyes; maybe give her optics. I chose the first one for now, and maybe the last one later. I just needed to play my cards right. Hopefully Megatron won't too be mad that I kept her a secret... 
I hope y'all enjoy!
