It was going to have to be quick. She had to be quick. Everything was quick. She was 15, she was a genius. She was under high amounts of pressure. She hated how much pressure she was under. Pidge heard a small beep as she viewed a clip. An explosion, followed by a group of rebels. Then there was her brother. Her brother.

"Pidge!" Lance yelled, snapping her back to reality. She swiped the clip away, saving it for later. She returned back to her map of Beta Traz and gqve a quick look through.

"Take a right." She instructed. With an affirmative nod, Lance ran off. The door opened. Shit. Pidge ducked under the desk, squeezing herself into the smallest ball she could muster. The man. The warden sat down, and she backed deeper into the corner. She could not fail. Not now. Not ever.

"Pidge!?" Lance rang into her ear once more. She didn't reply. She couldn't, not now. She would get caught, and she would be the doom of the prison break. It would all be her fault.

"Pidge!" Came Shiro's worried voice echoed. She took a deep breath, and shakily let it out. There was a pause to the warden's typing, and she froze.

"Well, what do we have here?" He smiled sickly. Pidge squeaked and crawled quickly out from under the desk. She reached her hand to her hip, summoning her bayard. Shakily, with fear, she held it out.

"D-don't come any closer" she warned, her finger hovering over the trigger that would shoot out her blade. The warden laughed and did so anyway. She pulled the trigger, and he simply caught it. He caught it. She was doomed, scared, and she felt weak to her knees.

"Guys, go without me. I'm sending you guys the map." Pidge instructed, typing on her holoscreen with immense speed. She knew it was a longshot, but they knew she was the smartest, and when she said something, she meant it.

"But Pidge—" Shiro began, but was cut off by Slav's yelling. Pidge could make out something about a crack, and she could tell Shiro was getting annoyed.

"Go." She instructed, finally pulling her bayard free from the warden's iron grip. "And for you—" she added, shooting her bayard again. He caught it, just as she wanted him to. She sent the jolt of electricity, and smirked at the surprise upon his face.

"You caught me by surprise, little paladin. But, know you cannot escape." He warned. She grinned, sending out another jolt. While he was 'shocked' (pun intended) Pidge ran for the door, punching in a code, and dashing away in what was only seconds. She reformed her bayard, and ran, pulling down drones as she went. She noticed a security camera up ahead— no, there were multiple in a row... they.. waht were they? They began shooting out a green foam, and she remembered. The paralyzation foam. She tried to summon her shield, but it was too late.Her foot had been hit, and it spread up her left leg. She couldn't move anymore.

"I have you now." The warden smiled, and she felt sweat trickling down her neck, followed by what felt like a needle. Black dots consumed the edge of her eyesight, and she kept fighting. She wouldn't let him win. She was a fighter, a strong one at that. She wouldn't lose to— she wouldn't lose to... a prison... why was she fighting, again? She was tired. Pidge closed her eyes, and let the darkness consume her vision.

"We needed Voltron!" Keith yelled, shoving his finger at Lance in a manner that seemed like he wanted to stab the lanky man. Lance stepped back, and Shiro stepped forward.

"Keith, calm down. Pidge is a strong fighter, she won't go down so easily." Shiro soothed, the calm in his voice spreading around the room. Keith exhaled and crossed his arms.

"Still. You guys just left her." He complained, and Hunk sat down on the ledge next to Keith. Keith sat back down, and Hunk gave him a bear hug.

"We'll find her. She'll be fine. She's a fighter." Hunk smiled, cutting off the warm hug.

"Actually, in multiple realities it seems Katherine gets killed by the immense amount of torture—" Slav cuts in. Shiro's arms turned purple, and Slav shredded back in fear.

"Will you shut up?!" He yelled, shocking the rest of the team. Shiro almost never yelled. Unless he was being a dad, which was usually the case.

"I-immense torture?" Hunk stuttered, biting his finger nails. "I do not like the sound of that. You're kidding, right? Ha ha. Very funny. Now stop, Pidge come out of the hallway, this isn't funny anymore." Hunk said nervously, and Lance groaned loudly.

"We'e going to get her back. We won't stop until we do..." Allura began, and everyone turned to her. The mice chittered before resting at her feet.

"I feel that theres a but," Keith said bluntly, and Allura sighed.

"I'm afraid the Balmera will need a few days to regain strength so we can regain the crystal to create the Teladuv." Allura sighs. "As upset as I am to admit it, Pidge would want us to put the mission before her." She finished, and the rest of the team slowly nodded. Pidge was stubborn like that.

"Okay.. but right after we're saving Pidge." Lance cut in, and Allura nodded.

"There is a 100% chance this plan will fail. But if Shiro gets the second mechanical arm, the chances from completely doomed will go up to highly unlikely!" Slav adds, and everyone groans.

"Can we please leave him in the green lion bay?" Shiro whines, and everyone else vigorously nods yes.

"How did you get into Beta Traz?" The warden demands, Pidge struggling against her restraints. She didn't answer, she was smarter than that.

"Ah, quiet." He remarks, flipping a switch. Pidge let out a piercing scream, and the warden simply smiled. She pulled and thrashed, tears spilling from her eyes. She felt like she swallowed a sea urchin, tearing apart her throat.

"Stop!" She screeched, and he did. She panted, and smashed her head back into the table, scrunching her eyes shut.

"Have an answer?" He smiled, and her eyes widened.

"I-I broke in. I hacked in. I-I shut off your c-cameras, created a 3D m-model of your face, and broke out Slav" she whispered, stuttering for breath every now and then.

"I see... you would propose a fine replacement for Slav." He evily grinned, wnd Pidge froze. Nonononononono she whispered in her mind. She felt a plunge in her stomache, followed by flutters. She was scared. Terrified, and, she couldn't prevent it. She was stuck, she was scared, she was alone.

"Now, I will need to take some copies of information from your brain." He smiled, flipping a different switch, and a helmet latched onto her head. Needles plunged into the back of her neck, and into different areas of her skull. Whe yelped in pain, tears already flooding from her eyes.

"P-please no." She whimpered, and he obviously didn't listen. He flipped the electricity switch again, and she screamed and thrashed once more, blood seeped, and she felt something more. It was like magic. Something injected itself into her neck, and she screamed again. This time, it lasted longer. Minutes that felt like hours passed and it all stopped. Th needles were removed, and Pidge whimpered, slipping out of consciousness.
