"He means something to you, doesn't he?" Willa sat down next to Keith as she spoke. It's been two days since she came out of the healing pod and she usually found her brother outside Lance's pod, always watching. She had a feeling that he cared about Lance more than he let on. He looked over at her before looking back at Lance's frozen face.

"I'm not really sure," he said. "I care about him as a teammate and as a friend possibly," he continued and she waited as he continued staring ahead.

"It seems to me you care about him more than a friend. I saw the way you looked at him when you rescued him and when he talked about possibly dying. Are you sure you don't have romantic feelings for him?" he just shrugged and she sighed. "When you guys, and I guess a little bit us, saved Lance, I could tell in just a few ticks from how you looked at him that he means something to you. Am I right?"

He looked over at her shocked. "You could tell in a few ticks that I have feelings for Lance? And how is it you know time measurements in the Altean form?" he asked and she stared straight ahead as he continued looking at her.

"Yeah, I could. I guess it might have been from us being siblings that I could tell or could be a girls' intuition. And I'm pretty sure Shiro and maybe the others also know. And when you're on an alien ship for about thirteen almost fourteen years, you learn how to keep track in their way," she explained.

"Makes sense. And girls' intuition?" he asked as they sat watching Lance's pod together.

"Yup, girls can sense when someone has feelings for another. But this time, it was probably because we're siblings. Though I do have a feeling that Lance feels the same," she said. They then sat in silence, the only sound heard in the room was the hiss of air leaving the pod and the slight hum from the castle machinery running. As the silence continued she knew Keith wouldn't reply to what she said and gave him a slide on it, knowing he was probably embarrassed. Willa thinks over the times when Hunk and Pidge would be in here and sung songs that they knew Lance loved. It made her smile that they would sing those songs their comrade liked, hoping that he'd hear it.

She vaguely remembered a lyric from a song they sang once while she was still in the pod. She had asked them what it was and told her it was one song he liked and they sang it again. She laughed when they somehow got Keith to sing a line from it and learned the name of the song. She unconsciously started humming the song in question and Keith turned to her. "Sing? Really?" he asked, naming the song by Pentatonix that Lance liked a lot.

"What? It's catchy. And if it bugs you, blame the others for singing it quite a few times while in here. Though at least Shiro sung it in key, I assume, while the others didn't," she said and Keith nodded.

"True," he said. "How's training?" he switched topics and Willa gave a soft laugh at it.

"Going fine. Shiro's very patient and a good trainer. Who would have thought he, Hunk and Pidge would be able to show me how to use my abilities. They said it's like….the last air bender and how they bend. Said the moves they're showing me are from there. What is that, the last air bender?" this time Keith gave a small chuckle.

"It's a show about how a kid can bend all the elements, who's the last living airbender, and has to defeat this dictator of sorts with his friends after he learns how to bend all the elements. It's actually quite entertaining, Shiro showed me it when his family adopted me," he explained and she nodded.

"Ah, maybe I'll watch it when we get back to Earth," she said. "Do you know how many more ticks until your friend can come out? I'm even getting anxious from all your pacing," he looked at her when she said the last statement, thinking she might be annoyed but saw that she was smiling at him and knew she was joking.

"I believe Allura said in a few more ticks," he replied.

"You think you could reshow me how to count time in Earth's way? That way if you, or anyone else for that matter, talks in it I'll be able to know how long it is," she asked and he nodded.

"Sure. We all will teach you and perhaps Pix and Arrow can join the lesson," he looked back at Lance's face.

"I'm sure they'll like it," she watched his face for a reaction for a little before facing Lance. After a tense few ticks, there was a hiss and the pod cover evaporated. A chill flowed from the pod as they stood up and Lance stumbled forward. Keith surged ahead and caught Lance before he could fall onto the ground. Willa grabbed a blanket and placed it around Lance's shoulders as Keith lowered both of them to the ground.

"How are you feeling, Lance?" he asked and Lance looked between the siblings, confused.

"Am I seeing double?" he asked and Willa giggles slightly.

"No, Lance, you aren't. This is Willa, she's my twin," he said and she held her hand out to shake Lance's. He reached out and shook her hand and saw that her fingers had scars wrapped around them.

"You were the girl from the arena, I saw you fight the gladiator with fire after a week of being there," he said and she nodded.

"I think I saw you when I walked into the arena. It was really strange, that fight. The day before I had just had an experiment done on me and they would allow me a day to recover before sending me in. But they didn't this time, it was very strange," she said and Lance looked away from her at her sentence. They looked at him confused and Willa speaks up. "What's up?" she asked gently and he looked at her in the face before looking at Keith's, guilt written clearly across his face.

"It's my fault," he whispered and Willa shook her head.
"No-" she started only for Lance to cut her off.

"It is!" he said with venom and she stopped talking. "I didn't answer any of Sendak's questions so he brought me to the arena and said 'because of you, they will burn'. See, it's my fault you fought after being experimented on and now have those burn scars!" he said and didn't realize he was shouting until his voice cracked at his last words and he closed his eyes and buried his face into his arms that were folded on his bent legs.

Keith placed his hand on Lance's shoulder and shook him gently while Willa processed what Lance said. Sendak forced her to fight after an experiment just to try to get him to talk. A part of her felt that she should be angry that it was his fault. But another part knew it wasn't his fault. The Galra are ruthless and don't care about people other than their own species and even then they don't care about each other really on a personal level. They only cared about their families like that and even then it sometimes wasn't good.

"I'll get you some food," Willa said and walked out of the room with Keith watching her go. Once at the door she turned back to face him and saw that Lance's eyes was closed and gave Keith two thumbs up before leaving. Keith sighed quietly as Lance leaned against him, still shaking the effects from the healing pod off.

"She doesn't blame you," he said after a moment of silence and Lance looked at him.

"How can you be sure?" he asked, his eyes glassy from unshed tears.

"Because we're siblings," he said and Lance continued to look at him. "And the Galra twins that were also prisoners may have said what she acts like when she's mad at someone," he said, the corner of his lips upturned ever so slightly. "She's apparently worse than me," he let off a small chuckle and Lance joined in.

"Remind me to not get on her bad side," he said and Keith nodded. "And…..you're sure she's not mad?"

"Yes, I'm sure," he replied. "I was worried-we all were worried-about you while you were gone all those weeks. You were in Galra hands for over five weeks. I was worried we wouldn't make it in time and save you," he said the last part quietly, hoping Lance wouldn't hear but he did.

"You did, though. You and Shiro saved me before that witch could kill me. But I don't remember much after you came in. Once the process to take all my quintessence stopped, I went unconscious a minute or so after.

"We all were worried we wouldn't save you in time. We had no idea what the Galra would do and could only hope that you were ok. But…." he let the sentence hang, not wanting to continue it and Lance nodded, knowing what Keith didn't say.

"Yeah. I was also hoping you'd come before it was to late too. The last experiment, taking my quintessence, I had lost almost all my hope that you'd come since that last one would have killed me. They almost succeeded in breaking my hope, kept saying things in hopes it'd break me," he turned to face Keith again, worry in his eyes. "Is Blue….?" he couldn't even finish the thought, the thought of Blue in Galra hands was a horrible thing to think of.

"No. She's here, safe. Though she was awfully damaged, so much that the Galra didn't take her when they took you. Hunk, Coran, and Pidge have been working on her, though," he said and Lance sighed in relief, sagging against Keith more.

"I'll thank them the next time I see them," he said and Keith nodded. Keith hesitantly placed an arm around Lance's shoulders and rubbed his hand up and down his arm. "Keith?" Lance leaned away slightly so he could look Keith in the eyes.

"Yeah?" he asked, curious as to what Lance had to say now.

"It just occurred to me, that we could die at any point in our battle with Zarkon and I need to tell you something. Something I can't leave unsaid until someone's dying," he said and Keith looked at him confused.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I really like you," Lance then turned his face away, looking at a distant wall. Keith looked at Lance's face, seeing the slight fear in his eyes.

"Wow," was all he could say. He himself had been afraid that Lance wouldn't care for him other than a teammate or friend, but here he was saying he has feelings for him.

"That's all you can say, 'wow'?" Lance asked looking at Keith. He shook his head at Lance.

"This was just a shock for me," he said and Lance's gaze drifted down away from his gaze. "I thought you only thought of us as maybe friends at most," he continued. "But, I really like you too. I only started to realize when we heard that you were in Galra hands and I didn't know what to do," he admitted looking away, head bowed, feeling his face heat up slightly in a blush. They stayed in silence and Keith looked at Lance through the corner of his eye, his bangs covered his face slightly and made sneaking a look at Lance easy.

Lance looked shocked but was smiling slightly. "You like me," it was a statement but sounded like a question a little bit. "You think I'm gorgeous. You want to kiss me. You want to hug me. You want to love me-"

"Really?" Keith interrupted. "You're quoting Miss Congeniality?"

"Yup, I try quoting that or anything when it seems good," he replied smiling and Keith rolled his eyes, giving a small smile back.

"So, what now?" he asked and Lance shrugged.

"Get to know each other more, I guess. Take it slow," he answered and Keith nodded. "But, since we are dating now, I guess, I will try cuddling with you," he continued and Keith laughed.

"Try warning me before you do it. If you just randomly do it, I can't be held accountable for what happens," Keith said and Lance pretended to be hurt.

"Wha-you'd hurt me for trying to be romantic?" he asked but laughed slightly as Keith hit his arm.

"Wonder what's taking Willa so long?" Keith muttered and thought for a second. "And I have to tell her she's right," he muttered again and lance raised an eyebrow.

"Why is she right?" he asked and Keith smiled.

"She said she had a feeling you'd like me back. And she was right," he explained and Lance nodded. "I'll go see what's taking her so long," he then stood up and walked to the door and pressed a button. The door hissed open and Willa fell down with Pidge and Coran also falling down. Only Willa was able to catch herself and she looked up at him sheepishly.

"Hey," she said getting up slowly and helping Pidge up while Coran stood up.

"Were you guys eavesdropping on us?" he asked as Willa picked up the platter of food beside her. He looked at her with a disappointed face he learned from Shiro that he named Disappointed Brother and she looked down biting her bottom lip in worry.

"Yeah," she said looking up again and saw his look. "But I wasn't listening that long! I got here only a few tecks ago! They were here longer and I tried stopping them but then I heard what was being said and they convinced me to listen," she said shrinking a little. Pidge looked at her with betrayal and Coran nodded solemnly, looking at him guiltily.

"You know eavesdropping is rude," he said and they all nodded, though Willa less so since she didn't really know since being with the Galra for so long. "Pidge, you should know better. You should be helping Willa learn about Earth since she's been gone for about twelve years," he continued and Willa still looked sheepish even though she wouldn't have known.

"Here Lance," Willa walked forward and handed Lance the plate and the other two followed her in.

"Pidge! Coran!" the two looked at him hesitantly. "Keith told me that you two and Hunk have worked on Blue, getting her back in shape," he started and they nodded. "I wanted to say thank you," he said and they smiled at him.

"No problem. Blue will be up by tomorrow. We've been working on her for weeks. It also helps that Hunk also worked on her while he waited to be rescued," Coran and Lance nodded.

"I still need to tell Hunk thanks," Lance muttered. "And, why I have I heard that we have two Galra onboard?" he asked and Keith, Willa, Pidge and Coran all shared a look and Willa nodded.

"Well, the two Galra, Pix, and Arrow, they were prisoners for the Galra like me. They fought alongside me in the arena with the spirit lion, Luna. The two are also twins," she said and Lance nodded.

"So we now have two sets of twins on this ship. Who would've thought?" he asked and they all shrugged. Soon, Coran and Pidge struck up a conversation with Lance and Keith pulled Willa to the side, smiling slightly.

"You were right," he said and she looked at him confused for a bit before realizing and smiling.

"I had a feeling and it was right. From what I've heard, the Red Lion is hard to control, relies on instinct more than plans. Since you pilot it, you should trust your instinct. For anything and everything, not just in your lion and in battle," she said and he nodded.

"I will, don't worry," he said and she smiled at him again, this time, it was a bit more devious.

"You should worry a little, though. Since mom and dad aren't here to embarrass you in front of your boyfriend, I'll be doing it for them. Thanks for telling me your embarrassing things that happened, and I'll be enlisting Shiro's help too," she said and Keith looked at her in horror.

"You wouldn't," he began and she smiled again.

"I would," she said laughing slightly.

"Don't you dare," he said and he lunged at her. She dodged it and ran out of the room laughing with Keith on her trail. Everyone in the room watched the door in confusion as they heard the twins laughing and yelling at each other.

They heard another laugh and then Willa yelled, "SSHIIIRROOOO!" and then a thud. They all laughed as they heard laughing echoing down the halls.

And, they admitted having feelings! Just so you know, tecks are the equivalent of an earth minute. So, this chap was mostly to be sibling fluff and whatnot. Not much action and Willa doing some sisterly stuff. I think it's cute, and sorry if it's not my best-written chap, the PSAT really took a lot out of me, and then earlier I had to help my sister. Yesh. LUV YA! -RK
