To those of you who asked, here's a few more! Thanks for the great reviews.

Voltron and its characters belong to WEP, the rest I made up. So if anyone wants to sue me, go ahead, I'm broke.

Keith landed the flyer on the front lawn of the Castle. He was down the ramp before it had even finished opening. Pidge walked out to meet him. "Keith, you made good time. We didn't expect you for another two days at least."

"I piggybacked on the warp of a space cruiser headed out to the Persied Galaxy."

"You piggybacked a warp! Jesus Keith, that's not dangerous or anything." Pidge exclaimed.

Keith ignored the sarcasm, and marched down the hallway. "What happened?"

"We're still not sure. She and Lance were doing a routine patrol. They were on their way back to the Castle when Allura reported that she was having trouble." Pidge told him.

"What kind of trouble?"

"Blue wasn't responding to her commands. We ran a check, and the diagnostics came back clean. Whatever it was, it wasn't the computer. I told her to disengage her Key, and Blue should stop. We were going to guide her back down, but Blue shut down completely. Lance tried to get under her, but it was no use. They both went down." Pidge said quietly. "Keith, I'm sorry."

Keith's expression didn't change. "Where's Lance?" He asked coldly.

"He's with Allura in sick-bay. Hold on Keith, wait a sec." Pidge pulled Keith to a stop. "There's no way I'm letting you go in there like this."

"Back off Pidge." Keith pulled his arm away, and continued down the hall.

"No." Pidge stopped in front of him. "You are not going in there, all ready to tear him apart. What happened wasn't his fault."

"Like hell it wasn't, she was his responsibility." Keith's voice finally started to betray some of the anger he was feeling. His brown eyes were dark with emotion.

"She's a grown woman Keith. She can take care of herself, she's done it enough." Pidge faced his Commander unflinchingly. "Look Keith, he saved her life. It took us almost two hours to free her before we could turn our attention to Lance. Blue landed on top of him, nearly crushing him. He was lucky all he had was a concussion and a few broken ribs." Keith didn't move. "Dammit Keith! We almost lost them both! He hasn't left her side since it happened. I know for a fact he hasn't eaten or slept. I mean it Keith, if you're going in there to blast him, you're going to have to go through me first."

Keith looked startled at Pidge's outburst. Pidge was usually soft spoken, and this came as a surprise. He took a deep breath. "Fine. But I will talk to him later. I want a meeting with all of us first thing in the morning."

Pidge nodded and stepped aside for Keith to pass. Keith stepped into sick-bay. He spotted Allura lying on a bed and walked over. Lance was sitting by her side, and looked up as he entered the room. "Keith." He said hoarsely.

Keith was shocked by his friend's appearance. Lance was pale and gaunt looking. He green eyes no longer twinkled, but were bloodshot and filled with grief. Some of Keith's anger melted away. "Lance…" He stepped forward and took Lance in his arms.

Lance shook with emotion. "Keith, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Lance, it was an accident." Keith held him at arms length. "Go to bed. We'll talk tomorrow."

Lance looked down at Allura's sleeping features. "Are you sure?" He asked, visibly torn.

"I'm sure. Get some rest. Go." Keith nudged him towards the door. Lance sighed and walked out. Keith took his place next to Allura's bedside. My God, what would I have done if I had lost her?

Doctor Gorma entered the room. "Commander, I didn't hear you come in."

"How is she Doc?"

Gorma looked at the chart he held in his hands. "She is better. We managed to stop the bleeding and get her stabilized. We couldn't save the baby. And she will not be able to carry a child again. Her injuries were too grave. I'm sorry Keith."

Keith felt his throat tighten with sorrow. He locked his feelings away, knowing he'd pay for it later. "Is she alright now?"

"Yes. Or she will be in time. What she needs, what you all need is rest. I see you managed to get Lance to bed, you should do the same." Gorma instructed.

Keith shook his head. "I want to be here when she wakes up."

Gorma sighed. "Very well, I know better than to order you to do something. Call if she needs anything." The doctor left Keith alone with his wife.

Keith took Allura's hand gently in his. Allura didn't stir. She slept on, with one hand over her stomach. Her beautiful face was marked with bruises and small cuts. Keith took a shuddering breath and settled himself in the chair. It was going to be a long night.

Allura opened her eyes. It took her a moment to remember where she was. She rested her hand on her stomach, and it all came back. Her eyes filled with tears.

"Hey."

Allura looked over, startled. Keith sat next to her, a small smile on his face. "Keith." She tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down.

"Easy Allura. It's all right. I'm here." He sat on the bed, and gently took her in his arms.

She dissolved into tears. "Keith, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She sobbed.

Keith own eyes filled with tears and his throat tightened. He stroked her head softly for a few minutes, and just let her cry. "Shhh…Allura it'll be OK."

Allura looked up, her face streaked with tears. "How can you say that? I killed our child Keith! We can't ever have another baby. Ever!"

"Listen to me Allura." He pulled her hands off her face. "Listen to me! You did not kill our baby. What happened was an accident." He told her firmly.

Allura shook her head. "No, no it wasn't. You were right Keith, I shouldn't have been flying."

Keith pulled her close again. "Honey, what matters is that you're all right. I have you and Aria, that's what's important."

She looked up at him. "Keith, I don't want to fly anymore. Find some one else for Blue Lion." Her voice shook.

"Don't say that. You've had a bad crash. The best thing is to get up there again, as soon as you can." Keith said to her.

"No! I don't want to fly!" There was an edge of hysteria in her voice.

This isn't her talking. It's Nanny, Coran and a good bout of panic. "Allura…"

She shook her head. "No, I've thought about this. I never want to fly again." She lay back down, and stared out the window.

Keith sighed. "All right Allura. If that's what you want."

Allura nodded and closed her eyes. In moments, she was asleep. Keith put his aching head in his hands. Great, now what do I do…He watched her sleep for a few minutes, then got to his feet. He paused once more at the door, looking back at her, then sighed and headed out.

Doctor Gorma spotted him and walked over. "Commander."

"She was awake. I think she's fallen asleep again though." Keith said.

Gorma nodded. "Good, she needs rest. That's the best thing for her at this point." He looked closely at Keith. The young commander's face was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes. "Keith, you need rest as well. It will do her no good if you fall ill."

Keith shook his head. "I'm fine Doc. Just tired. I'll catch a nap after I meet with the Team."

Doctor Gorma shook his head. "I suppose I should be used to it by now. You always were my worst patient." He walked back to his office.

Keith made his way to the Control Room. There he found Pidge and Coran, deep in conversation. They both looked up as he came in.

"Keith." Coran smiled thinly. "Pidge told me you were back." He held his hand out for Keith. "I'm sorry Keith." He said quietly.

Keith nodded. "Thank-you Coran." He turned to Pidge. "Where's everybody else?"

"Hunk's still working down in the Repair Bay. I'm sure Lance is still sleeping and Dorma is most likely with him." Pidge looked closely at his friend. "You look like hell Keith." Pidge said frankly.

"Thanks Pidge, I feel like hell." He stretched his arms over his head. "Hunk find anything yet?"

Pidge shook his head. "We've been over all the computers and found nothing out of the ordinary. Hunk's checking the mechanics now." He took a deep breath. "It looks like it might just be a case of pilot error."

Keith started to do a slow burn. "We both know that's not true Pidge. Allura has flown hundreds of missions, and some far more dangerous than an early morning jaunt through the mountains. It wasn't her fault." Keith said firmly.

Coran spoke up. "Keith, many times I have asked you to find another pilot for Blue Lion. Allura should not have been flying, especially in her condition."

"Coran, I'm not getting into this with you right now." Keith took a deep breath and tried to hold onto his temper.

"When are you going to face the facts? Allura is Arus's Queen. She should not be piloting Voltron!" Coran persisted.

Pidge tried to intervene. "Back of Coran, give the guy a break."

Keith interrupted him. "Well then, you've got your wish Coran. She just told me she doesn't want to fly anymore. That she feels responsible for what happened. So now are you happy? You and Nanny can go back to having the little puppet Princess that you used to have." Keith shouted.

Lance and Dorma walked in at that moment. "What's going on? We could hear you shouting all the way down the hall." Lance told them.

Keith whirled, his temper finally breaking. "This is all your fault! If you had just kept an eye on things like I had asked you, this never would have happened!"

Lance's hands clenched into fists. "Keith, it was an accident."

"Like hell it was! I told you to watch her!"

"I did watch her!"

"Yeah, you did a great job. You only managed to kill my son, when are you going to try for the rest of my family?" Keith snarled.

Everyone assembled gasped in shock. "You bastard!" Lance threw himself forward, fists flailing. Keith put up an attack of his own, catching Lance across one cheek. Lance managed to knock Keith across the mouth before Dorma stepped between them.

"ENOUGH!"

They all turned in surprise. Dorma glared up at them, her violet eyes flashing in anger. She faced Keith. His lower lip was dripping blood and there was a glowering look in his deep brown eyes. "You have no right to accuse him of anything. You have kept Allura sitting on a shelf since Aria was born. She is not your ornament to display when needed. Allura is a woman grown. She is responsible for herself. What happened was an accident. No one is to blame." Keith glared at her, but she turned her attention to Lance. "And you, wipe that smug look off your face. Keith is your Commander. The man asked you to keep watch over his family. Is it so hard for you to follow orders for once in your life?" Lance shrugged and refused to meet her eyes. She turned and addressed both of them. "I have broken this type of behavior up too many times now. You are both adults. Start acting like it."

Silence echoed throughout the room. Keith and Lance both shifted uncomfortably and refused to look at anyone.

"Ahem." They looked up to see Hunk standing by the door. "If you're both finished, there's something downstairs I think you need to see."

"What?" Keith demanded.

Hunk shook his head. "You won't believe it if I told you. Come on."

They made their way down to the Repair Bay. Blue Lion lay in pieces throughout the room. Hunk led them over to a table. "I had started repairing the hydraulic system when I found this."

Keith looked down at the bits and parts. "Hunk, I'm not a mechanic, what am I supposed to be looking at here?"

"It's easier to see under magnification." Hunk punched a few buttons on the computer console. An image of the broken parts appeared on the screen above them.

"I still don't see it Hunk." Keith growled impatiently.

Hunk ignored his Commander's tome. "I almost missed myself. I was rewiring the main thruster controls when I found this." He enlarged the image. "See these wires? They've been cut."

Pidge peered up at the screen. "Cut? Are you sure they just weren't broken in the crash?" He asked skeptically.

Keith looked closely. "They were cut. If they had broken, the ends would have been stretched, those breaks are clean." His temper began to boil again.

Hunk looked at Keith in surprise. "Very good Skipper."

"Who would do something like that?" Lance asked.

"Some one who wanted her dead." Keith said coldly. "Check the rest of the Lions."

"I looked over Red, and he's fine." Hunk told him.

Keith grabbed a crowbar off the table. "Check the others. I'll take Black." He marched angrily out of the room.

They all watched him leave. Pidge glanced at Lance. He shrugged. "Don't look at me, I'm not going with him."

Pidge grumbled something under his breath, and he and Hunk headed in the direction of their Lions.

Dorma faced her husband. "Lance."

"Don't you start with me Dorma. This proves it wasn't my fault." Lance told her.

"I never said it was."

"Oh yeah? Then what was all that about upstairs? For not blaming me, you sure did a good impression of it."

"Lance, the man is hurting, you can not blame him for being angry."

Lance glared at her. "Why is it you always take his side?"

"I do not take any sides." Dorma glared back. "Lance, his child is dead, and his wife and brother were nearly killed. Now we find out it may not have been an accident. He is terrified and grieving. Are you that blind that you cannot see it?"

Lance grew quiet and paced the length of the room. "I hadn't thought of it that way." He lit up one of his cigars, and let out a thin wisp of smoke. "I saved her life Dorma, I figured he'd be more grateful."

Dorma placed her hand on his arm. "You know how he is Lance. Keith never was one for displaying how he feels."

"Except when he's pissed." Lance took another drag on his cigar. "All right, I'll back off, but I'm not apologizing. He owes me one first."

Dorma groaned inwardly. They are both such children! "I never asked you to, just give him some consideration for his feelings."

Lance crushed out his cigar and sighed. "I guess I'd better go give them a hand." He pulled her close, and kissed the top of her head. "Love ya Babe." With that remark, Lance followed his Teammates out the door.

Keith strode through the tube leading to his Black Lion. He was keeping a tremulous hold on his temper. When I find out who did this…

"Keith! Hey Keith! Wait!" Lance hurried to join his friend.

Keith didn't break his pace. "What?"

"Hunk and Pidge called in, Green and Yellow checked out OK. They tried to raise you, but your communicator must me malfunctioning."

"I turned it off. Why are you here?" He demanded.

"Just giving you a hand Cap, I can leave if you want." Lance replied scornfully.

"Just stay out of my way." Keith stopped and looked up at his Lion.

"Whatever you say." Lance leaned against one of Black's legs, and once again, lit up his cigar. "That's fine by me."

Keith ignored him, and activated the ladder. He scrambled up and climbed into the cockpit. He eased Black into a reclining position, and climbed back down. He marched over to Black's belly and inserted the crowbar under one of the panels.

"Arugh!" Keith all but tore the metal cover off its housing. He peered inside. "Fucking hell!"

Lance was at Keith's side in an instant. "What?"

Keith emerged from the Lion, murder in his eyes. "Take a look. Careful, you don't want to set it off."

"Set what off?" Lance climbed up. "Son of a bitch! Keith, that's a bomb in there!" He said incredulously.

Keith took a shuddering breath. "Seems like whoever did this wants me dead as well.
