This idea actually came from a dream I had last night, I've rewatched voltron so many times it's entered my sleep haha.
Pidge manoeuvred the fighter her fingers grasping the controls. She hissed as she spun through the air as the ion cannon fired heavily. She grit her teeth and she was already severely injured she could feel herself loosing consciousness and growled shaking herself into wakefulness.
"Come on" she shouted as she spurred the fighter. It had been 6 months she had been held in Zarkons grasp. They had tortured her, flayed her skin but she held strong. Her fingers held tightly so as to not slip on the controls of the fighter which were now covered in blood. Her eyes were alight with fire and she snarled dodging more fighters. Her eyes suddenly widened as a lions mouth suddenly swallowed her.
"Green!" She shouted her voice full of excitement. She exited the fighter, "it's good to see you girl!" She said grinning widely as she took the controls. "Let's take the fuckers out!" She laughed firing the nature cannon causing vines to grow over the Galra ships and she breathed shakily watching as they were completely destroyed. She leaned against the controls "well done girl" Pidge whispered. Her hair had grown in the past 6 months and she had it tied back she was clad in a black jumpsuit and she sighed as she coughed slightly. Blood dripped onto the floor, a deep scarlet. Pidge hissed slightly her vision blurring, "the castle of lions" she whispered as a wormhole opened and she slumped in the chair her eyes drifting shut. She felt warm arms encircle her and she drifted off into unconsciousness.
Pidge felt her chest become cold and her eyes snapped open. She could feel the cold of the cryopod but was unable to distinguish the difference. She shouted out and punched the person who had caught her and Shiro coughed loudly as his nose throbbed and he reeled back in shock. Her pupils finally focused and she groaned rubbing her head. She staggered on her feet and looked at Shiro.
"I'm sorry" she said breathing heavily her chest feeling cold and pressured. "I thought you were- no it's fine" she said rubbing her forehead.
"Pidge are you okay?" Allura asked softly as she went to touch her but Pidge shrugged her off slightly.
"I'm fine it was just a bit of a shock" she smiled.
"Where were you Pidge" Shiro asked as he looked at the girl who was now fully healed but had multiple scars. "We looked everywhere, every inch of the universe" he said quietly "we couldn't find you"
The girl shrugged nonchalantly "I couldn't tell you" she said softly "I don't know where I was it was just white, pure energy" she said softly.
"That sounds like a quintessence field" Coran said rubbing his chin.
"Maybe, all I know is I spent a significant time with the Galra and they weren't hospitable" she said folding her arms and flinching slightly. "Not hospitable at all" her eyes seemed to drift off before she shook her head. "Anyway it's good to be back" she said and Shiro hugged her slightly and she sighed burying her face in his chest feeling comfort. Lance and hunk suddenly burst into the room both were panting heavily.
"Pidge!" They laughed in unison as they ran over to her and lifted her up pulling her into their arms and she smiled laughing slightly as she felt the comfort of her teammates.
"I missed you guys" she smiled her eyes watering slightly.
Pidge has finally been able to get some time alone and was in her messy room. She had finally ditched the body suit and she looked in the mirror at herself. Her body seemed to have become more defined due to the labour she had been put through, her body was lean and clearly built for speed. She sighed quietly as she looked at the scars over her body. She traced her hands over the ropy scars and she bit her lip hard. She trembled her hands shaking as she flung her fist into the mirror smashing it completely. The blades of glass cut into her knuckles and she let out a shout of frustration. She crouched on the floor and grit her teeth her tears falling. She could feel green's concern nudging at the edge of her consciousness. She breathed heavily and looked at her hair scowling before grabbing a pair of scissors and cutting it back to its original shape. She smiled slightly as she saw it puff up at the edges and she felt a sense of normalcy return. She went into her drawer and pulled out the glasses she had gotten from Matt and she slipped them onto her face. She dressed in her normal attire and looked at the broken pieces of the mirror. She smiled but it became warped and she shook her head covering it with a towel "I don't need this right now" she sighed picking up the broken pieces and tossing them in the bin. Kicking it under the sink she splashed her face with water and breathed out softly. She shivered slightly and ran her fingers through her hair. "Right I need to find my brother and dad" she mumbled to herself slapping her cheeks. She stepped out of the room and slammed into a hard body she cursed as she held her nose.
"Hey what the hell!" She half shouted.
"Pidge it's me" Keith said quietly and he seemed defensive. She looked at her hand and saw green energy cracklings from her fingers. She cursed and shook her hand like water it fell off her fingers and she watched as flowers bloomed.
"What is that?" Keith asked pointing at the plant life.
"Flowers" Pidge scoffed. Keith scowled slightly.
"I know what they are" he said "but how did you do it?"
"I don't know" she shrugged.
"Pid-" he started but she whirled on him her gaze fiery.
"No" She shouted "don't Pidge me! You're not at liberty to know anything you left the team, you left after giving me such a hard time about it!" She said angrily "you were blissfully unaware of everything so don't act like you know anything" She snarled. He looked at her thunderstruck and his face became dark and stormy.
"I had to do what I had to do" he spat "stopping Lotor is for the greater good!" He shouted.
"Yeah all that self serving crap, you had a team that needed you" she snapped "I needed you" she whispered quietly before turning and storming off in her anger. Keith grit his teeth as he rubbed his face in anger his shoulders were shaking and he took in a breath
"Fuck me" he mumbled looking up at the ceiling.
Water suddenly splashed over her face and she gasped her eyes wide as she looked around. She tried to move but her limbs were tied. She smiled bitterly, "it was all fake" she whispered and the Druid in front of her smirked
"Your mind is very wishful" he chuckled as he looked at her. She arched slightly and tried to break out
"Son of a bitch!" She screamed "I swear when I get out of here" she spat angrily and the Druid chuckled shocking her violently and she sagged against the binds. Her eyes were wild and she was furious "you'll get nothing from me" She snarled "even if you go in for 6 months or even a year I won't give anything up"
"Ah darling that's where you're wrong, after all it's only been a week" and her eyes widened in shock.
"No" she whispered.
