After an hour of the team freaking out and pummeling him with questions, he sat down and tried to process everything. "I don't know what happened. I remember being in the black lion, then everything went dark, and then I ended up in this void."
"You've been gone for months," Keith exclaimed, his face a mix of relief and anger. "We thought you were dead!"
Lance reached out and placed his hand on Keith's shoulder.
"Cut him some slack, man. He's back, that's what's important." It was strange to see Keith calm down just from a single touch, especially when it was Lance's touch. Shiro decided to ignore it.
"I still don't understand." Allura's voice sounded like music to his ears. "How did you get back? You're body was gone, there was no trace of anything in the black lion."
Shiro contemplated how he wanted to share his escape story to the others. It sounded insane. "There was...this girl. She helped me get out. According to her, I was asleep. Maybe...maybe Black teleported my body while I was in the coma so that I was safe. That's its power, right?"
"Yes, but it is unusual. A lot of this is." Allura's concern turned into suspicion. "Who was the girl?"
"Uh," he forgot that he never really knew. "I don't know. I never caught her name. But she was really nice." Looking down, he noticed the crystal pendant in his hand. "I promised that I would find her."
He raised the necklace up for the others to look at. Allura's face became stern as she folded her arms in front of herself. "Shiro, you know we can't do that. We have to focus on stopping Zarkon. Now that you're back, Voltron can be formed and we can end this."
"Allura, I promised!" Shiro stood, determined to change her mind. "She saved my life, I owe her. I'm going to find her. Just think, we could have another ally to help us in battle. We can't just use the lions for this, it's going to take an army." Their mini stand-off was cut off by Coran.
"Princess, I believe he has a point. Allies would help us get closer to the main ship to stop Zarkon and Haggar."
She huffed, but eventually agreed to help. "What did this girl look like,"
Lance questioned. "I bet she was hot. Or was she an alien? I mean, not that alien chicks aren't attractive-"
"Lance, clam it before you get hurt," said Pidge as she held a hand to her forehead, clearly annoyed.
Shiro was definitely glad to be back. "She had black hair and grey eyes. And she was somewhat pale. She looked about my age, and she was human, I believe."
Hunk finally spoke up after a long period of silence. "How is a necklace going to help you find her? Is there a chip in it or something?"
"Actually," Coran stated, raising his index finger. "This crystal came from the planet Cryskos. It was known for its jewels and mines. Each set of crystals did something different. The purple ones were used as trackers. After so long, the crystal could find its wearer without being on the body. The only problem with that is Cryskos was destroyed a long time ago. The crystals are extinct."
"So how does a girl who's in a coma come across something that's been gone for decades?" Pidge's words made Shiro gaze at the pendant. It was a good question, and once he found the girl, he'd be sure to ask her.
