Ficlet: Hot Rod, Shockwave, and a cage

This scene kind of dropped into the middle of my headspace like an anvil into my living room and stared at me until I wrote it. Posted here rather than AO3 because there's no real story in my head other than this one scene. Consider it a cross between this fic by Sophisticated_Adult and that Marvel Zombies thing.

( Sometimes Shockwave brought Hot Rod things along with his fuel and daily nanite infusions.  )
