Acxa stared up at the ceiling. How was it, that only a few hours ago she was helping, the now former, Emperor Zarkon with a prisoner exchange, and now she, Ezor and Zethrid we're in a cell?

She had to admit it, though, she had almost felt guilty for her part in the exchange. She had always dreamed of having a relationship with her father. But he was one of Zarkon's generals, and didn't have much time for her. Especially since her mother hadn't been Galra. She knew, though, that the Green Paladin had that relationship, and she tried not to imagine what the other girl felt.

It didn't help that Lotor changed their plan up in the middle of it. She wouldn't have minded so much if she didn't have to battle the Green Paladin. That just made her conscience feel worse, but she had to ignore it.

Now she sat hoping that Katie, (or was it Pidge?), didn't mention the incident to Keith. If she did mention it to Keith, then Acxa hoped that the former Red/Black Paladin didn't hate her.

She really hoped that he didn't hate her.

But now she had to face the matter at hand. She was stuck in a cell with Ezor and Zethrid.

Zethrid wasn't really a problem. The blood-thirsty half-Galra was unaware of Acxa's feelings.

Ezor on the other hand had been trying to figure out who Acxa had a crush on for many months now.

Yes, Acxa finally was allowing herself to admit that she had a minor, minor, crush. Nothing to get excited over. (Which, obviously, wasn't true. But it's a start)

Acxa stifled a groan, and closed her eye's, deciding that she would try to sleep. Yes, she would probably have dreams, which included nightmares, of Keith, but it was better than the thoughts that were going on inside her head.

Then again, the dreams helped to create more thoughts...

One whispered word, barely audible, escaped Acxa's lip's before she fell asleep, and it just so happened that one of the other General's was still awake...


Ezor's brow furrowed when she heard Acxa mutter something. It almost sounded like a name, but Ezor wasn't sure.

Although, she did realize something that day. She was almost, one hundred percent certain, that whoever Acxa had a crush on was apart of the Voltron Coalition.

Ezor's head quickly snapped up, and a sly grin formed on her lips. Acxa's crush might even be a Paladin of Voltron.

The smiled was still in place when Ezor lay back down, from now on she was going to be watching Acxa closely.

Very closely.


Keith swung left, and ducked as a sword was swung at him. Training helped to get his emotions under control, especially anger, and were his emotions ever in turmoil.

One, he was mad that he couldn't have been with the team when they found out about Commander Holt. Pidge had been looking for her father for close to a year, and now she had found him. Where was Keith when all of that had been going on? A Blade mission. Sure, the mission was important, but he wished that he could've been there when Pidge was finally reunited with her dad.

Then you had his confused feelings about Lotor's general. He had just learned her name, Acxa.

It was a very pretty name, but it only distracted him for a moment. He was slightly mad at her for siding with Zarkon, but even angrier at the war.

The war that had them on opposite sides of the fight. He just wished that he knew why she was on the Empire's side.

He was a little glad to hear that she hadn't hurt Pidge too badly. Unlike Matt and Shiro it sounded as though Pidge only came out with a couple of minor bruises. That surprised him, he had seen Acxa fight. Had she gone easy on the Green Paladin? But why?

That's where the confusion and sadness came into play. He wished he could understand why she was on that side, and wished that he could convince her to join the Coalition. Which was crazy considering that, other than his few comments in the Weblum and their fight on the Galran ship, he had never even had a conversation with her!

Yet he thought of her every day.

Before he knew what was happening, Keith felt his blade fly out of his hand, and himself thrown onto the floor.

"You were distracted." Kolivan scolded.

Keith groaned as he got up, his head had hit the floor pretty hard. "Sorry." He muttered as he grabbed his blade.

Kolivan glared, or at least Keith think he glared, as him. "Just stay focused. You would have been killed if this weren't training."

Keith fought back a sigh, something he learned to never do in front of the Blade leader. "I am sorry. Can we go again?"

Kolivan shook his head. "We have a meeting in ten dobashes. Don't be late!" He called as he exited the training room.

Keith shut his eye's and, somehow, held back a yell. Not only had he been distracted while training because of thinking of Acxa. He had become distracted while training with Kolivan.

Great.


Kolivan shook his head as he walked down the hall. Keith had heard plenty of news from the Paladins of Voltron before, but nothing ever made him that distracted.

Which meant that there was only one reason Kolivan could think of to make Keith distracted.

Whoever the girl was she better not have him distracted on a mission. Kolivan was starting to care for the boy, he was almost like a son and, even though it went against the Blades code, Kolivan would do anything to keep him safe.

That and if Krolia found out that her son, of whom she hadn't seen in eighteen years, died, she would go on a rampage.

That was not something Kolivan wanted to happen. So for Keith and Krolia's sake, he was hoping that whoever this girl was she didn't keep Keith too distracted and she didn't break his heart.

That was not something Kolivan wanted to deal with.

Ever.


So, I gave Acxa a minor backstory and brought in Kolivan! Did I portray him right?

Anyway's, hope ya'll enjoyed it!
