The relevance of power has a good deal to do with how comfortable I am being involved with someone. Sharing a lover with someone that powerful is daunting.
I'm nervous about being too close to too much power, unless I know the person wielding it as well as I know Ravage and Soundwave.
When I told my sister I was going to join the Decepticons, she brought me in at her own level. I ended up working with Soundwave and Starscream and Megatron because of my sister. I'd have been better off if I'd simply enlisted and joined a group of local recruits as their medic. But I'd been Ratchet and Pharma's apprentice and I'd been Ravage's brother, and that put me right under Megatron's optics with Knock Out and Hook.
I hacked off Megatron and ended up working at Grindcore.
What happens if I hack off Lucifer?
And I'm comfortable dating someone who's dating more than one partner. I'm not so sure I'm as fine with multiple serious commitments. There's a certain point at which it seems unwise, or dangerous, to be so committed without exclusivity. Obviously, that's not how it works for you, or for my sister.
Here's the thing.
Megatron and Soundwave and my sister have loved each other in various ways for over four million years. And they have hurt one another a lot, but I think they are treating each other better than they ever have before. The way they came into the world and the war they had to fight fragged all of them up. You already love them. You might as well trust them.
