Feet hitting the ground rapidly echoed throughout the Castle of Lions.

As Keith ran toward the infirmary with Lance in his arms, he flashbacked to after the others found them...

Several minutes earlier...Hunk reached forward and felt Lance's forehead, only to yelp and withdraw his limb immediately. "He's burning up like a stove on fire!""We have to get him to the infirmary!" Shiro ordered."I agree, but don't jostle him too much! Whatever he has, we don't want it to get worse!" Coran exclaimed."I'll go on ahead with Allura to get the infirmary ready!!" Pidge called, already out the door with Allura following.Shiro reached forward to take Lance from Keith, but Lance grasped Keith like a lifeline and didn't let go."Well, looks like he wants you to take him, Keith. You got him?" Shiro stated, glancing up at Keith as he made to stand.Keith nodded, even though on the inside he was a bundle of fried nerves.He carefully but firmly took Lance into a bridal-style position and hurried off.Present time...Keith laid Lance down onto the infirmary bed, and sat right next to him as Coran took Lance's temperaure.

"103.3 degrees!!" Coran gasped in shock as the timer went off.

"Not good. We need to cool him down!" Pidge said.

"We have ice! Will that help?" Allura offered.

"Definetely! But we need to put them into ice packs first!!! I'll help!!" Hunk exclaimed, then shot off to get some. A few minutes later, he returned.

As he handed a pack to Shiro's outstretched offered hand, Hunk asked, "Ok, what's the verdict? What's he got? Please tell me it's not fatal...or contagious!!"

"It's... not... fatal... Hunk... calm down..." Lance's weak voice rasped.

Everyone whirled around to look at Lance, who gave them all a tired smile.

"Wha?! Lance! Did you know you were sick this whole time!!"

"Dude... I swear!.."

"Don't scare me like that again!! If you do..."

"You should be resting... but I'm glad you are at least awake."

After all that, only Shiro was able to ask the real question: "What do you have, Lance?"

Lance gave a smile, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. This made everyone stop, until...

"I have a diagnoses! It seems all that Lance has is a nasty virus running through his system! He will be up and about sooner or later! He just needs lots of rest!!" Coran explained.

Everyone breathed out a huge sigh of relief, until Pidge squeaked "Wait!! You didn't say it wasn't contagious!!! Coran?! Coran?!"

In the end, Lance became healthy once more. However, the rest of the Paladins (minus Allura and Coran; being a different species had its perks!) were not so lucky: Hunk had the throwing up part, Shiro had the exhaustion part, Pidge had the headache/migraine part, and Keith shockingly had the sneezing part!! They all got different reactions to Lance's virus!!

...This is the end of Virus!!!
