Pidge marched down the corridor. Her arms were stiff at her side and her hands were balled into fists. She marched straight towards the bridge.

She entered the bridge causing Coran to jump. Pidge let out an exaggerated sigh as she slumped into her chair.

Coran glanced over at her before returning his gaze back to the holographic screen before him. "Something wrong number five?"

Pidge shook her head sitting upright, "No, just a little frustrated with someone at the moment,"

"Sounds like there is something wrong."

"Just forget it, Coran," she replies. She stands up and walks over next to him, "I came here to talk to about the whole diplomatic thing..."

"Oh changed your mind?" He says turning to face her placing his hands on his hips.

"Yes I have but, could we take things slow. This is an entirely new concept and I have no doubt that I could catch on pretty fast," she says quickly before Coran had a chance to jump in and go on a whole speel about all he was going to go over with her.

"Of course, of course." He says waving his hands, "I'll do my best,"

Pidge nodded, "Alright so we'll start tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow."

Pidge exited the room with a plan to return straight to her room. With no desire to see anyone. The door slid shut behind her. Almost immediately she slammed into someone.

She looked up adjusting her glasses on her face. She narrowed her eyes and shoved past the figure that she ran into.

"Pardon me," she growled.

"Pidge," Shiro says grabbing her arm, "can we talk?"

"No-" she jerks her arm away- "we can't. There's nothing to talk about." She turned to leave again.

"Pidge, please. I didn't mean it like that you know me!"

"Do I?" She mumbled.

"What?"

She whirled around her eyes filled with hatred, "Do I, Shiro? Do I know you?"

He looked at her his eyes wide his mouth open searching for the right words to say.

"One second your encouraging everyone that their a valuable part of the team and then the next your coming to me saying I'm not doing enough just being a Paladin!"

Pidge's face was warm and hot tears streamed down her face. She pressed her palms onto her eyes willing herself to stop crying her glasses were resting on top of her head.

When she pulled them away her face was red and puffy. Shiro couldn't meet her gaze she could see that he obviously felt sorry for what she said but she was too caught up in the moment to care. She stalked away from him crossing her arms over her body and hugging herself.

Pidge had found an empty hallway. She leaned back against the wall sliding down into a sitting position. She rested her head on her knees.

"Pidge? You okay?" Lance's voice sounded from in front of her and she looked up. Her face was wet with new tears. She wiped them away with her sleeve sniffing.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Lance settles down next to her, "something's wrong now are you going to tell me or am I going to go find the source of the problem myself?" He says in an attempt to cheer her up.

She sniffs and chuckles a little, "no I'll tell you."

Lance opened his arms to her and she willing crawled into them resting her head against his chest. He circled his arms around her. "Now tell Lance what's going on."
