( Shockwave understands it - he always had. It was effective; remove everything that made him him; that defined him and set him apart from the rest. They aimed to destroy him completely, and did so quite successfully. They thought it was a punishment then, but he viewed it as a rebirth.

Not now. He would never see such an intently intimate violation as anything positive again. Shockwave shivers slightly at the touch, lips spreading in a small smile. )

Impulsive is a fitting word. But I tend to think of it as an attractive trait. ( Not certain he'll get what Shockwave is implying, but that is something he's no stranger to. In all their time together he's not sure Orion ever understood what Shockwave was dangling for. ) Mm, I think not. Or at least I should hope not.
