Shiro's POV

It felt like ages since he had been on the Castle, but it also felt like it was just yesterday since he was last roaming these halls. He smiled feeling relieved finally as the mysterious stranger looked around as well. He finally looked back at her noticing their height difference, she was tall for a girl but still shorter than Shiro, making her about 5'11 he guessed. She had her full armor on having that be her only pair of clothing besides what she had on under. The armor was simple but effective looking covering vital areas. He could tell she had gotten dress for possible battle while the Lions helped carry her ship up here. She had protested to riding in the Lions and instead took her chance in her ship.

Shiro looked up realizing he had never truly gotten her name. He was just about to, but then heard Pidge and Hunk yell, "SHIRO!"

Shiro looked back to them his smile coming back as they came running over. Pidge was first to get a hug holding on tight as Hunk came running sandwiching Pidge in between them. Allura came running over too, as Pidge and Hunk let go. She hugged Shiro romantically acting like a forlorn love, but Shiro tried to make it friendly. He knew Allura's feeling, before the main battle with Zarkon she had told him how she felt, though he didn't get time to tell her he only saw her as a sister. He held her back smiling at her as Coran came hugging him from the side as he said, "I miss you guys too, but it only was a few weeks."

The room went eerily silent, before Keith spoke up, "Shiro it has been over six months."

Shiro went quiet as well going blank, six months…but his savior told him she found him a few weeks ago. He felt his head going light at first and his heart began speeding up until he felt a warm hand on his back bringing him back. He looked back to see his savior looking softly at him whispering, "Shiro calm down. You're safe."

Shiro took a breath his nerves calming down with the warmth spreading across his back. He felt at ease with her there for some reason. He truly desired to know why she brought warmth and ease to him, but also fear and sadness. Instead, he decided he would ask again later. He nodded stepping back as he let everyone view her, he then said gesturing to her, "Well, we can talk about what happened later. For now, I would like to introduce my savior…I'm sorry but I never caught your name."

Just as she was about to talk Allura hissed stepping forward. A slap ringed across the landing dock as everyone gasped. Shiro looked on in disbelief as the woman clenched her jaw before looking to Allura. Allura huffed at the reaction as she screamed, "You dare to step foot on my Castle you Vulban scum. It is because of your species everything went wrong! I want you off my Castle this insist."

Shiro stood in front of Allura as he said, "She isn't going anywhere. I owe her my life. If she didn't take me out of space, I would be dead or taken by slavers. She saved me and I owe her a new ship."

Allura glared at Shiro as she said, "You can't trust Vulbans. They only kill and kill some more. They aren't the good guys. They are the reason we even had to make the Paladins and Voltron because they were out of control."

Shiro looked to his savior for reassures that Allura was just overreacting, but instead, the look in her eyes wasn't of a victim. The woman sighed as she said, "I am J'luban Farska Ligan Moliksote of the Lujiko Clan, and I will admit that this is true. My people did want world domination, but my people are now just trying to survive with the destruction of our planet that was caused by your Voltron."

Tension spread across the room. Shiro was in conflict as he wondered what all of this was about. He was confused, but so was everyone else. At the moment, it was hard for him to see J'luban as the bad guy. She saved him, she nursed him. But it was clear that didn't matter to Allura, her expression looked like she was ready to kill the woman in front of her. Coran spoke breaking the tension slightly, "Fine we will make a vote since this is a serious matter. Who votes for us to help out the newcomer?"

Shiro was the only one to raise his hand frowning at everyone. Coran looked back as he said, "Who votes we kick them off the ship and never look back?"

Allura rose her hand angrily looking at Shiro with hurt in her eyes. Then Lance raised his hand as he said to Shiro, "She freaks me out, dude." Hunk nodded as he held his hand up, and then both Pidge and Keith did as well. Shiro felt a sting as he looked at her seeing a mask on her face as she said to Shiro, "It is fine. Dog eat Dog World kind of thing."

Shiro clenched his fist, he felt he owed her for more than saving his life right now. Something in him screamed to help her. That she was the key to something, maybe the key to his memories. They must have been close for her to help him out, he looked to Pidge knowing what he was about to do was dirty, but he needed to do something. He then proclaimed, "She knew me before. The year I was gone, the year I can't remember. She knew me back then. She knew Matt, Pidge!"

Pidge looked up surprised and conflicted as Shiro continued, "Pidge don't you want to know what happened to him."

Pidge frowned as she looked at the girl asked, "Do you know my brother Matt?"

J'luban looked at Pidge tilting her head thinking about it as she said, "Matt Holt…Yes, he talked a lot about you for the time I knew him. Good kid."

Pidge's eyes went wide as she threw her hand down and said, "She needs to stay. We should help her."

J'luban looked surprised at her reaction as Allura said, "Pidge you don't know if she is lying or not."

"We will just have to see," Keith said also lowering his hand as he said, "I may not be the one who trusts most people especially people who try killing me. But Shiro really wants to help her and we should."

Coran then proclaimed before anyone else could, "Three against three that is a tie. How can we figure out who wins? Well my good friends we can play a good game of Hulime which involves…"

Coran's mouth was covered by Lance as the older man continued his thought. Lance said, "Let's flip a coin."

Hunk nodded pulling a coin out proclaiming tails was her to go and heads for her to stay. He then flipped it as hard as he could, watching it in the air. It soon landed causing everyone except J'luban to surround it watching it spin till it landed. Everyone was baffled as they looked at her, J'luban. Pidge smiled saying, "Welcome abroad J'lub…..I'll just call you Jay."
