"That's awful," Megatron says. "You are beautiful as you are. There is no need for you to hide who and what you really are under illusions. Hiding it from you like something shameful..."
He thinks for a moment of Minimus; he only knows that Minimus is a turbofox hiding in armour because Ravage found out. Minimus was also adopted into one of those great Houses.
"I'm glad that you were found and cared for, but Odin cared only for what he saw as your function, based on your form, and not the person inside. He thought of you as a tool. I won't say that this illusion isn't pretty, but it isn't really even an illusion you chose, is it?"
Megatron smiles softly. "I do prefer your true form to this one, though I'd love you no matter how you appeared. And the illusion doesn't completely hold for me, either, unless I offline the infrared and Kirlian frequencies in my optics, and then everything else looks all wrong."
He lifts Loki's hand to his lips and kisses it.
"Soundwave disappointed them when he reached the age where his empathy and telepathy manifested, and he couldn't properly function. Their precious genius overwhelmed by the world around him, unable to focus on anything, no longer able to spy on everything for them, because all he wanted it to do was stop. He was an adult, but just barely. Ravage was also an adult, but just barely. She took him in and fell in love with him."
Megatron ex-vents. "I don't think Odin was any better than his mentors were. Thor at least has been kind to you. I'm glad he hasn't suffered what Shockwave did, for daring to love his own brother."
