"You're serious?" Anna asked, shocked.
"Very. That's why Wade kept the commanders back. He's putting together a team to go find Keith." Lance answered.
"Let me guess, he going to make sure that none of us are on the team." Hunk guessed.
"Correct. Wade said, while talking and looking straight at me, and I quote,"Anyone who worked with Voltron, is not allowed to be on the team."
"Do you think that he suspects anything?" asked Pidge.
"I'm not sure, Wade said that Keith hasn't been seen in awhile, but he's known to pop up every once in awhile."
"Well, I'm guessing that Wade suspects something. Especially since he made that announcement." Pidge said.
"But, he's always disliked us and Voltron." Added Anna."Yeah, he's never liked us." agreed Hunk.
"Look, guys, all we have to do is warn Keith about what's happening and that's all." Pidge announced.
The rest of the group agreed. Lance looked down at his watch.
"Well, I have to get going. I have a class to teach." Lance announced and turned toward the exit.
"I have to get my class ready." Anna said as she looked her watch and ran out of the room.
As she ran passed Lance, she felt her arm being jerked back.
She stopped and looked straight ahead. She realized that she was eyesight level with Lance's chest.
This was the first time that she had to really look up to see him.
"So, what are the cadets learning to fight with today?" Lance asked.
"Swords." Anna smiled. This was her favorite weapon selection.
"You're excited to teach them how to fight with katanas, aren't you?" Lance smirked.
"Yes, I am." Anna two fell into silence.
"I might need to get to class." Anna said after a few moments.
"Right. Me too."The two immediately turned and went to their classes.
"Okay, everybody, just keep practicing these moves and remember, the moves are basic blocking and deflecting moves. You'll need these to protect yourself if ever caught in a fight." Anna called to her class as they began to pack up their belongings.
"Yes, Lieutenant Campbell." The students answered as they left the room.
While rearranging the swords next to the practice mats, Anna heard the door open.
"Lieutenant Campbell." Announced a familiar voice from the doorway.
Anna felt her heart starting to race.
"Commander McClain." Anna responded as she turned around to face Lance.
"I need to ask you a favor."
"What would you like me to do?" Anna asked as she stepped closer to Lance.
"I need your help watching three cadets who are in trouble tonight." Lance said.
"Why are you watching these cadets? You never watch cadets." Anna stated.
Lance looked around making sure no one was near. He leaned his head closer to Anna's. Anna felt heat rushing to her cheeks.
"I'm thinking that we should recruit them." Lance whispered.
Anna smiled and nodded her head. Lance leaned back and smirked.
"So, will you join me tonight?" He asked again.
"Yes, I would." Anna responded.
"Great. See you tonight, Angel." Lance smirked as he left the training room.
"Wait!" Anna yelled as she ran out the door.
Lance turned around.
"Where am I meeting you?"
"The surveillance room." The red head responded.
It was about seven-thirty when Anna left her room and headed to the surveillance room. It wasn't a long walk to the room considering that the military members lived nearby. The walk felt longer than usual because of fellow military members giving her disgusted looks because of went wrong with Voltron and the lions.
Stupid Wade, Anna thought quietly to herself after she saw a former friend give her a look of distrust.
Anna eventually reached the surveillance room and went inside. She had only been inside the room a couple of times and it seemed kind of stalkerish.
"Hey, Anna." called out Lance from in front the computer screens.
"Hey, Lance." Anna responded as she walked towards him.
"Think Wade has enough cameras?" Anna laughed.
"Nope. I guarantee you, he has more in office." Lance said as he switched the cameras to a set of bathrooms.
"So what were the cadets' punishment?"
"Latrine duty."
Anna laughed as she sat down in the chair next to Lance's.
The two watched the screen for a moment.
"So, are you going to tell me who these cadets are?" asked Anna as she leaned back in her chair.
"The cadets' names are Daniel Beckett, Vincent Andrews, and Isabella Geller." Lance answered as he handed her files on the students.
Looking through them, Anna noticed a familiar looking girl. The girl had a heart-shaped face, tanned skin, hazel eyes, high cheekbones, and caramel-colored hair.
Knowing that there weren't any video cameras or recording devices in the room, Anna spoke up.
"You're recruiting Bella?!" She said angrily.
"Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I?" asked Lance, confused.
"You knew that I wasn't a fan of bringing any of my family into this, Lance." Anna said sadly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have to include her."
"Just do it. What's the worse that could happen?" Anna said as she looked back to the screen.
Three kids showed up and Lance turned up the volume. The kids were talking about what they were each going to do. Vince and Daniel to the boys' restroom and Bella was to do the girls' restroom. As the teens separated, Anna turned to Lance.
"What exactly did they do to earn latrine duty?" She asked.
"Well, I was making my rounds after teaching my class and I went into Professor Williamson's class. He was teaching battle patterns to the first year cadets. I stood in the back and the professor called on me to talk about what I've seen on the battlefield."
Anna nodded for him to continue.
"As I got to the front, the kid named Daniel asked me, "Why are you here instead of protecting the universe with Voltron?" and Professor Williamson got onto the kid for breaking one of Wade's rules."
"Don't talk about Voltron." laughed Anna.
"That would be the one! Anyway, I said that this will be the only time I'll talk about Voltron. I mentioned all you."
"What did you say about me?" Anna said interested.
"I said that you were the pilot of the Purple Lion and now you taught hand-to-hand combat in second year." Lance answered.
"No mention of me being a princess? Nice."
"Well, that's actually when it went downhill." Lance laughed, checking the monitor.
"Uh oh, what happened?" Anna asked.
"Your lovely niece happened. She had to bring up that you are a princess."
Anna snorted at this.
"Then Daniel flipped out because we weren't helping "Commander" Kogane searching for the Black Lion."
"Ah, so what did Vince do during all of this?" Anna said wondering about the third cadet.
"He actually did nothing except help Daniel with a question before all of this. I picked him because he seemed trustworthy." Lance admitted.
Before Anna could respond, the three cadets regrouped.
"That was the last restroom, correct?" asked Bella.
"Yeah, it is." replied Vince.
The other cadet, which Anna assumed was Daniel, didn't speak. Instead, he walked down the hallway towards a simulation room.
"Well, Angel, look like we're going to do the simulators." said Lance getting up from his chair.
Hey, y'all! I know that I have another story that I should be working on, but I had a spur of the moment idea to work on this.
