The girl stared in shock as the pigtail blocked her means of escape. With terror in her eyes she turned her attention back to the femme. It seemed like the Decepticon would be getting her way after. Though the human couldn’t believe what the Cybertronian was saying. Home? This was the only home that the human had ever known. Though if she was understanding Raiza correctly the Cybertronian was talking about Earth. That gave the human pause. Could she really go to Earth? That was all she had ever wanted, but everything came with a price. She had no clue what it could be. The question was simple? Would she be willing to pay it?

Slowly the human nodded as her hands tapped out a simple message, <Please.>

The girl moved to collect what few possessions she had. There was the thin blanket that was no good at keeping out the chill. She also had a grapple that she used to get around the lab. She didn’t use it much. She had built it out of spare parts, and while Shockwave knew that she had it she didn’t like to flaunt it in front of the scientist. There was no reason to make him mad unnecessarily. The girl liked to remain mostly unharmed. So, she had tucked the grapple away; as hidden as it was going to be. If she was going to Earth, she would need it.

She scurried to the end of the counter only to stop at the edge. All of the sudden she was unsure. Should she drop to the ground? Should she climb on to the Cybertronian? The human knew that once she made a choice she wouldn’t be going back. If Shockwave got a hold of her after this, it would be the end. So, she had a choice. She could let the torture continue, or she could go with Raiza, and one way or another, it would be over. Wasn’t that all she had wanted?

She asked, <When? Now? How?> She knew the femme couldn’t understand her much, if at all, but she still had to try, <Please take me now.>
