Let me know what you guys think. To see if I will continue this. And don't be afraid to give me ideas to change or to add to the story.
Pidge's POV
"I swear it won't happen again." Pidge set down her dusty helmet with a little more force then what was needed and started walking towards her room. She didn't want to be around anybody right now, but of course, Shiro had to make sure he got his point across. As she left the room she heard Shiro get up and follow behind her. She rolled her eyes as he came up beside her.
"Pidge I need you to promise me that you won't ever do that again. You could've gotten yourself killed or one of the other paladins killed." he stopped to look at her.
"Fine. I promise I won't do it again." Shiro patted her on the shoulder before walking away. Pidge watched him as he walked to the end of the hallway and disappearing around the corner before going into her room.
As the door closed behind Pidge she started taking her armor off and throwing it across the room hitting the wall with a thud. Letting out the anger she felt at herself. She slowly sank to the floor as she felt the tears flood her eyes.
"I'm...so...sorry...matt...I...I failed you" Pidge sat there in her spandex and tank top sobbing for what seemed like hours but in reality was only thirty minutes. Having nothing left to give she crawled into bed snuggling deep into the blanket. Closing her tear-stained eyes she let sleep claim her.
A few hours earlier
"Alright is everyone in their positions?" Shiro asked. Satisfied with everyone's response he turned to Pidge and nodded for her to open the door. She tapped a few buttons on the control panel that sat in front of her before she heard the sliding of a door open and then close. She turned back to the control panel to start gathering information but stopped short when she heard Shiro's voice over the radio.
"Pidge do you copy?"
"Yes Shiro, I hear you loud and clear."
" Alright, make sure you have your radio on you at all times in case one of us needs you."
"Understood." Pidge turned back to her hacking.
Looking at the computer screen in front of her, she found a list of files and started going through them.
Artillery
Ships
Trade posts
Security
Prisoners...
We definitely need Trade Posts and Security. Artillery and Ships would be good to have too." Clicking a few more keys pidge started the download and looked over the list again.
Her stomach lurched as she read the last file. Could it be? Would she be able to finally be able to find her brother? Her mind filled with the possibility. Without missing a bit she clicked on the folder and entered her brother's name.
Matt Holt
She hoped that worked if not she had a picture she could use. Watching the screen intently she absent mindlessly took off her helmet, completely forgetting Shiro's instruction. She set it on the floor before looking back at the screen. She watched intently as names and pictures popped up on the screen.

Nothing so far she held her breath.

Pidge'a eyes were filled with anticipation as she waited for the last two pictures to load. Then without warning, there was an explosion that short-circuited the computer causing the holographic computer to glitch, then cease to exist.
Pidge had ducked behind the desk to avoid getting hit by the debris. Once the smoke had cleared, Pidge tentatively stood up, only to find her fellow paladins, covered in dust holding their bayards at ready.
"Pidge! Thank goodness your alright." Keith said lowering his Bayard. Walking over to them she ran her hands through her hair trying to get the dust out of her hair.
"You guys sure know how to make an entrance." she chuckled a little to herself before she stopped in front of them.
"Pidge where's your helmet?" Shiro asked stepping forward. Remembering what he said over the radio she quickly looked down in embarrassment.
I'm sorry Shiro. I...I took it off." She continued to look down even as she walked over to the desk or at least what was left of it.
I was so close to finding him. At least I was until I was so rudely interrupted. She stopped brushing off her helmet to look over at her fellow Paladins who were huddled on one side of the room talking in hushed voices. Seeing enough she plopped her helmet on her head and stalked over to her teammates.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Seeing the surprised looks on her friend's faces at her sudden change in attitude she stalked out if the room.
"Pidge! Wait!" Keith called. Pidge continued walking she knew that she was going to regret this later but she was too caught up in the moment to care. She was so close to finding her brother only to have it ruined.
She was about to climb up into her lion when she felt someone grab her arm.
"Pidge?". She heard Shiro's voice call her name but she didn't turn towards it. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
That was a lie. She felt like she had lost someone close to her. Wait. Not lost. Taken. Taken from her. She knew for a fact that she was going to get revenge on the Gulra for taking her brother away. Pulling away from Shiro she climbed the rest of the way into her lion.
