"How is Pidge?" asked Lance to Coran as she was in a healing pod.
"Number five got a bad hit but a few hours in here and she will back to before. If only that could be said of Shiro." Stated Coran who was making a reference to the fact that during the fight Shiro got hit pretty bad as well.
"How long will Shiro need to be in the pod?" asked Keith.
"A few days maybe weeks?" guessed Coran.
"Who will pilot the black lion?" asked Hunk.
"Maybe I should see if the black lion will take me back?" questioned Keith out loud.
"Worth a shot." Stated Allura as Everyone but Lance and Coran headed to the bay for the black lion.
"You should go Lance and see what will happen." Stated Coran.
"I can't leave Pidge." Stated Lance.
"I understand, in that case I will be back when it is time to release Pidge in two hours." Stated Coran as he left leaving Lance with Shiro and Pidge in the pods. Standing next to the pod that Pidge was in Lance started talking hoping Pidge could hear him.
"Kate, I am so sorry you got hurt. I should have done something, anything to prevent this. Man! Today has been crazy! This morning I was trying to figure out why you freaked out on Hunk after training. This made it possible for us to have some cuddles to help with your migraine. To forming Voltron and then your lion being shot off of Voltron." Stated Lance as he processed the day out loud.
"Alright Lance, it has been two Earth hours. Pidge should come out at any time." Stated Coran as he came back into the room.
"Uh?" questioned Lance who was so lost in his own thought that he did not really hear what Coran said.
"I said Pidge should be waking up soon." Repeated Coran. "You really love her don't you Lance?"
"Of course I do, Coran. Pidge is amazing and I am so lucky that she puts up with me." Stated Lance.
"Don't sell yourself short Lance, there are a number of reasons why Pidge loves you." Stated Coran.
"Like what?" asked Lance.
"How about the fact you are a sharpshooter, you are amazing inside and out. Or the fact you will do anything you can to make life on the ship fun for everyone on the team without asking for anything in return?" stated Pidge from behind Lance.
"PIDGE! You're up!" exclaimed Lance as he turned around and gave Pidge the biggest hug he could.
"Hey Lance!" exclaimed Pidge.
"Babe you scared me. I thought I may have lost you." Stated Lance.
"You could never leave before I told you why I love you." Stated Pidge as if that was an obvious fact.
"Welcome back number five!" exclaimed Coran.
"PIDGE!" exclaimed Matt as he walked into the room to check on Lance and Pidge just to find her up.
"Hey Matt!" exclaimed Pidge as Lance moved to her side to allow the siblings to see one another but not letting Pidge go.
"I thought we lost you!" stated Matt.
"Nope, still here. Must have been some fight since Lance thought the same thing." Stated Pidge.
"It sure was difficult fight." Agreed Lance.
"Pidge! Glad to see you are up and seem well!" exclaimed Allura as she, Keith, and Hunk came back after stopping by the black lion.
"Hey, where is Shiro?" asked Pidge.
"He is in this healing pod and will be for a while. He was hit pretty bad. Which reminds me how did things go with the black lion?" asked Coran.
"The black lion responded immediately. So at least until Shiro wakes up, I am the pilot of the black lion again." Stated Keith.
"You got it boss." Stated Lance trying to bring the mood back up.
"Please do not call me that Lance." Stated Keith.
"Fine Mullet head" stated Lance.
"Uh." Exclaimed Keith as everyone else chuckled a bit and Pidge held onto Lance a little more as a thank you to him for lightening the mood.
"So, what should we do now?" asked Hunk.
"Rest for now but in the morning we will train without Shiro." Stated Keith as he left to train on the training deck.
"Well then, I will be in the kitchen." Stated Hunk as he got up and walked out of the room.
"I shall go check on the castle levels." Stated Coran as he left.
"And I need to take a nap." Stated Allura as she also left.
"And I am going to let you guys be." Stated Matt as he also left.
"Well I guess it is just you and me Pidge." Stated Lance as he was trying to flirt with Pidge.
"Don't forget Shiro right behind you." Reminded Pidge.
"Ah, come on Babe. I was trying to flirt with you." Stated Lance.
"I know, I just had to say that." Pidge told Lance as a wicked smirk came across her face.
"Ouch Pidge" responded Lance.
"Oh come on you know you love me for my sarcasm." Stated Pidge.
"Sad but true Babe." Replied Lance. They then left the room to hang out around the castle.
