Finally reaching Pidge's room I could see her light was off but the light from her computer was on. I knocked on her door, last time someone didn't knock they nearly lost a hand or two. I could her her shuffle in her room, but got no answer. So I risked it and opened the door; there she was sitting on her bed computer in hand, mostly likely still searching. Pidge promptly ignored my presence, her room was a mess. So I turned on the light and picked up a few things here and there and put them away.
"Pidge this room needs to be cleaned badly." Still nothing, I went to grab a piece of tech to put on her shelf.
"Don't touch that." Finally something. I put it back and made my way to her, room still a disaster.
"Seriously you need sleep. You barely sleep as is." She snorted at me, knowing full well she was on night three of no sleep.
"if you can't track blue it might be because she's offline or the magnetic field around us is distorting everything." I knew Pidge would find a way to say that I was wrong. I knew nothing of the technology side of things on earth let alone alteans.
"we've already worked around those issues. I just got my family back, I'm not losing another member." She was stubborn that was for sure, Lance had a way of making sure she slept. No one and I mean no one was able to figure it out for the life of them.
"When you were looking for Matt what did Lance often say to you."
"Can't do them any good running yourself into the ground." Something he said to all of us. Then she kept going.
"if your sleep deprived you can't think, if you can't think how are we suppose to play pranks? How are you a genius if you can't take care of yourself?" Pidge had a small smile on her face. Then she looked at her computer and it was gone as was her attention. I couldn't help the sigh, so I did the unthinkable; I took her laptop.
"Hey!"
"Katie 'Pidge's Holt you go to bed right now, or no lab, tech or coding for the next month." She stared at me mouth hanging open and wide eyes.
"You…..you…..you can't do that!" she essentially screeched at me.
"Watch me."
"your not my dad."
"No I'm space dad. Bed now." She pouted at me, which is hard to resist, I turned around and navigated my way to the door.
"Oh and Katie I expect this room to be spotless by the time we find Lance. Goodnight." I turned off the light and left her room. Her exasperated frustrated groan was all I heard when I turned off her light, as I made a detour to my room to drop off the laptop on the highest shelf. Hunk was next and I was worried about him, as much as I was worried about Lance. While with the other two I had to show a strong leader, Hunk I knew needed to see how much I was worrying as well. That and the determination to find him safe and sound.
