Fingers clacked away at the keyboard on the hologram, brow scrunched. Come on! Come on! This thing had to download faster.
Footsteps echoed in the large hallway, shattering the silence. Pidge bristled at the sound. Oh crap!
With a quick slide, the keyboard disappeared. Pidge ducked down under the control panel, grasping her bayard tightly in her hand and heart pounding in her chest.
Footsteps grew quieter. Sigh of relief escaped her.
A loud rattle came from above her. Jerking her head up, a person slid out of ceiling shaft and fell right on top of her.
"Hello," Lotor said, looking down at her.
A smile flashed on his lips, causing a shiver to go up her spine. It was like the ones that Lance would flash at Allura when he used to flirt with her. Somehow, there was a twinge of darkness to it.
Pidge rolled to the side, wiggling free. The two sprung to their feet.
"Pidge, isn't it?" Lotor said in a calm voice.
Without any hesitation, the tip of her bayard launched towards the prince. A wave of cyan blast of magic caught the whip with ease before it dissipated.
"Rude," Lotor said, jerking his nose up like a snubbed cheerleader in one of those b-list movies she and Lance love to riff. "I'm just trying to talk with you. At least let me speak first!"
Screw that noise!
Pidge rushed out of the room.
Yellow eyes trailed behind her. He'd worry about it in a minute. There was something he had to check first...
With a swipe of his hand, the prisoner data base appeared before him.
Eyes widened. She just downloaded a virus into one of the most powerful computers in the empire. How did she do that?
Lotor stroked his chin.
He needed to look more into this. She could be a great asset to his cause...
