(lol sister refuses to beta anymore of my work...so sad because I know I can't spell or use a comma)

It was a weakness on his part, allowing the little Prime to get under his armor. He couldn’t say for sure when it had started, when he had first realized it was happening. However, somewhere between his capture and their arrival on Cybertron he had come to terms with it.
Megatron sat quietly in his cell, waiting for the Prime--no Magnus now, to come speak to him. He clenched his fist, crushing stasis cuffs he had finally broken free from. The Autobots were fearful, but apparently not fearful enough of him. They should have chosen a stronger cell, stronger cuffs, and more competent guards.
He sat regally on the berth in the otherwise empty cell; he looked every inch the dangerous and powerful warlord of history. Even in a cell that power could not be truly contained.
The Pr--Magnus appeared, approaching the cell slowly, cautiously. As he should, prey should know better than to walk right up to the predator unless they wanted to be eaten. He smirked, “What a lovely surprise. Optimus Magnus now is it; I’m honored that you would take the time to visit me.”
Optimus frowned, “I have only come to tell you that your trial is set for tomorrow. You will be tried for the war crimes you have committed.”
Megatron smirked and leaned forward, “I am very sorry little Magnus, but I am afraid I will have to delay that a bit. I will soon be returning to New Kaon you see. However, you are welcome to return to New Kaon with me and my men. I promise I will take good care of you.”
He could see the repressed shiver and it made his engine rev, yes the little Magnus was perfect. So caught up in his thoughts he almost missed what Optimus said.
“I am afraid that isn’t going to happen. You and your generals have been captured. You will not escape and no one is coming for you. You will pay for your crimes Megatron.” Optimus turned his back on the warlord and walked away.
Megatron was on his peds in an instant, the illusion of the bars faded away and he grabbed the Magnus slamming him against the wall. “And you will pay for underestimating me little Autobot. I did not survive so long by being weak.”
As his ship fled Cybertron he observed the Magnus that was now chained in their brig. It was a weakness to take him with them, to give into the desire to own something with such raw potential. Potential wasted with the Autobots.
He would enjoy shaping this mech, making him his own. He would enjoy bringing Optimus into his full power.
Even if he knew that just like he had been his teacher’s downfall, Optimus would be his weakness.
