Rue sits on her hill with Nau asleep on her lap. Nau feels a gentle breeze through her hair she slowly wakes up.

'Mom?' Nau looks up at her sleepily.

'Hey there sleepy head.' Rue smiles down at her daughter.

'Is… is this a dream or real?' Nau sits up confused.

'Both. And to answer your next question. This is Mythia.' Rue looks out to her old home. 'Or at least an old memory of it.' She sighs with a small far off smile.

'This is Mythia? It's beautiful.' Nau stares at the sea of colors in a permanent sunset.

'Yeah.' Rue sighs warmly. 'This was our favorite spot and time. We'd come here every time we visited.' Her tail taps the grass.

'I can see why.' Nau sighs as she leans back. 'But why am I here?' She turns to her mother confused.

'You needed help so I came. But… I also… I wanted to tell you I'm sorry. I know what it's like to wake up with your family gone. I NEVER wanted to do that to you.' Rue begins crying with drooped ears.

Nau hugs her. 'You did what you had to. I just… I wish you were…' Tears drip from her cheeks.

'We are.' Rue's ears droop.

'What? Where?' Nau stares amazed.

'You can't look for us Nau.' Rue shakes her head.

'But I…' Nau's ears droop.

'Promise me you'll stay save Nau. Promise? Please?' Rue stares at her with worry.

'I promise.' Nau nods.

'Remember we love you.' Rue hugs her close as the world begins to fade.

'I love you mom.' Nau's words echo as the world is swallowed by a blinding white light.

Nau opens her eyes to a familiar room. But along with that is Allura asleep by her bedside.

"Nau? You're awake?" Allura pops awake.

"What happened?" Nau stares at her still a bit out of it.

"The Balamara and its people were saved. No small part to you." Allura smiles softly at her old friend.

"Where is everyone?" Nau tries to sit up.

"Hunk is making you some food and the others are relaxing. Which is what you should be doing." Allura lays the dizzy girl back down.

"But… but I…" Nau tries to sit up.

"Not buts. Lay down." Allura moves her down again.

Nau reluctantly lies back down. After Hunk brings her some food Allura leaves to take care of other stuff.

In that moment she dizzily gets out of bed. With a spinning head, she walks to her father's AI.

"And you snuck out of your room? You are definitely your mother's daughter." Rex chuckles.

"I just don't like to sit still." Nau's tail taps the ground looking excused.

"What do you think you're doing out of bed?" Coran stands in the door way.

"I just wanted to talk with dad." Nau glances at his AI.

"No excuses. Back to bed with you." Coran gently takes a hold of her arm.

"B-but I…" Nau stands with his help then glancing over at her dad.

"We can talk later, get some rest pup." Rex smiles at her.

"You heard him." Coran moves her toward the door.

"Coran, thank you for looking after my daughter." Rex smiles at his old friend.

"Always." Coran nods.

Lead back to her room Nau reluctantly goes back to sleep. After being out for a few hours she is awakened by what sounds like her father's voice.

"Dad?! W- How…?" Nau stares at him with confusion and surprise.

"We don't have time. King Alfor's AI has been tainted, he's hypnotized Allura." Rex glances at the door.

"W-we'll have to get… to…" Nau tries to get out of bed, the exhaustion getting to her.

Rex tries to catch her but is unable. "I can't even catch you." He stares at his hands with dismay.

"I… I'm okay." Nau stands up slowly. "W-we need to get… to the bridge." She huffs standing.

Rex nods as they head off as quickly and carefully as they can. The two make their in enough time to see Allura trying to decide on whether or not to shut down her father's AI.

Seeing Rex Pidge places a barrier around him. "There, now he can't mess with the ship like King Alfor." She sighs with relief.

"You need to let me go." Rex turns to her with concern. "My AI can END both our programs and clean the system." He points to himself.

"How can we trust you?" Shiro stares at him. "Look what Alfor has done." He motions to the dying star that's closing in.

"Wait. If is corrupted then he couldn't talk about anything other than what was last discussed right?" Nau turns to Coran.

"That's right. Everything he said and did would be about that. But you talked about the crew and Alfor is able to twist things around." Coran explains.

"Then if I ask him a new question he wouldn't be able to answer correctly. Right?" Nau huffs still out of it.

"That's right." Coran nods. "But it will have to be completely on related."

"Jedi's Soldier… the stories you told me as a kid, how did the Soldier first say I love you?" Nau stares at her father's AI not sure if she wants to hear the answer.

"What if I said my heart." Rex places his hand over his heart.

"Release him." Nau chokes back her tears.

"Are you sure?" Pidge glances at her friend.

"Do it." Nau nods.

Pidge release him. Rex touches Alfor's AI and cleans his system. Alfor realizes what he had done. He and Rex turn the ship around quickly, then disappear right in front of them. The two girls break down at the site of losing their fathers' once more.

Pidge and Coran make sure the ship is really clean from the tainted crystal. Allura has begun to move around the palace again. Meanwhile Nau seems content to stay in bed.

Shiro heads down to check on Black. As he enters he sees Coran at a panel.

"What are you doing down here?" Coran turns to see him.

"I just thought I would check on Black with everything that's happened." Shiro walks over to the large lion.

"We'll I won't keep you." Coran taps his shoulder and heads off.

"Hey Black, how are you?" Shiro walks up to him.

'What's this? A footlocker?' Shiro lifts up a small hatch.

Inside the small square is a dusty helmet with tally marks on it. Shiro carefully removes the helmet with a piece of paper dropping to the ground. He picks it up and begins reading the tattered note.

-Letter:

Dear Paladin,

If you're reading this something happened to me. The AI will give my family some comfort, but I feel like this will mean more to them. Please make sure my old helmet makes it to them. And when you hand it over say it's from their Soldier.

Rex Lawquane-

'Soldier…' Shiro glances at the helmet.

Shiro goes to Nau's room. He knocks with no answer. Entering he finds Nau isn't there. Turning to leave he bumps into her at the door.

"Shiro? What are you doing here?" Nau rubs a towel in her hair, dressed in a nightgown.

"S-sorry." Shiro looks away with a slightly flushed face. "I… I found this in a footlocker." He hands over the helmet.

"This… is my dad's." Nau takes a hold of it. "Thank you." She hugs it close with a small smile.

"Have a good night." Shiro pats her shoulder as he leaves.
