A/N: The people have spoken! I've decided not to make it romantic because 1) I don't like writing romance and 2) At least a few of my readers don't want romance. Therefore, in this fic, Keith and Lance just have a BroKlance. Anywho, sorry for the late update and all that. All my professors seem to think that the last month of school is the best time to give tons of projects. Unfortunately, I have to devote pretty much all my time to that stuff, so this will probably be the last update until school ends. After that I'll have more time and mental energy.

Lance's face turned serious. "Right. Escape plan. Let's do it."


"First, we need to figure out how to get out of these cuffs." Keith lifted his bound hands. "You need to be able to shoot, and I need to be able to support you and fight. You can't exactly walk out of here with that leg."

Lance frowned at the mention of his injury, but quickly brightened as a thought came to him. "Keith, do you still have your knife? I might be able to pick the lock, get our hands free!"

Keith looked confused, but nodded. "The Galra are apparently pretty bad at disarming prisoners. How do you know how to pick locks?"

"Misspent childhood." Lance took the dagger from Keith and started fiddling with the lock on his handcuffs. "... Plus I thought it would make me look cool in front of the ladies."

Keith chuckled and leaned back against the wall as he waited for Lance to unlock the cuffs. He he closed his eyes and took stock of his pain to see if he would be able to push it down enough to fight. He thought so, but it was far from certain. Keith was brought out of his musings by Lance's triumphant exclamation. He opened his eyes to see Lance twirling his handcuffs on one finger.

"Got it! Knew I still had it," Lance smirked. "Now, let's get you out of yours, and figure out how to get out of this cell."

Keith nodded and held out his hands to Lance. "I could probably break the lock with my knife, unless you know how to open an electronic lock?" Lance shook his head. Keith continued, "Alright, so I'll break the lock, and then we'll make a break for it. We still have our bayards, right?"

Lance summoned his bayard from his armor as Keith did the same. "All right, now we just gotta stand," Lance said as he started to rise, but paused. "I think I'll have to lean on you. My leg isn't exactly in tip-top shape right now."

Keith nodded his agreement and pulled himself up, ignoring the fire that flashed across his nerves, only letting his breath hitch for a split second. Then he helped Lance up, making sure that the tender skin on the shoulder that was hit with the electricity wasn't touched. Together, leaning on each other, they were slightly wobbly, but able to stand without too much trouble. They activated their bayards and got ready to fight.


A/N: Just FYI, I literally have nothing planned, everything is me flying by the seat of my pants, coming to me as I'm writing. I barely even edit my work. I give it to you as soon as I get enough done to post. Also, this means that I might miss some small details so if you catch anything off, please tell me and I'll go back and fix it.

I'm sorry for the cliffhanger again, but I wanted to give you guys an update before I go dark again for another few weeks. This story deserves my full attention, and I can't give it that as I'm writing a few sentences per day in between the mountains of homework I'm slogging through. I'll see you on the other side!

Nightwinglover05: I completely agree. Thank you for adding your opinion as it helped me make that decision.
Scout017: Thank you for that praise! I try my best ;)
dragoscilvio: Don't worry, I've decided that they'll just be bros with a good bromance.
Windrider340: I can't wait to write more whump but for that I need enough time to make it realistic enough for my standards of whump. The escape attempt will definitely lead to whump and it shall be glorious. Thanks for being patient.
Saralei Nighthaven: Oh yes, the escape will be quite the show. Sorry to keep you waiting even longer for it.
Azun26: ...shhhhh there's shielding or something on the galra ship blocking Red from being the overprotective mama lion that we all know and love. I'm not gonna focus much on the other paladins anyways, so they'll figure out a way when it's convenient to the plot, because that is the beauty of this being fanfiction ;)
LeNolaNamiko: Thank you for your support! Even though Keith is my absolute favorite, I'm trying to do justice to Lance as well, because I hate it when writers give all the angst or the badassery to only their favorite, which honestly seems to be Lance more often than not... Anywho, glad you are enjoying so far!
