Lance stepped into Lotors room and heard screaming from two voices as he saw Lotor yelling against a Druid but Lotor was loudest.

"You dare go against my orders witch?! Your lucky I still let you aboard my ship with your worthlessness!" Lotor snarled at her almost towering.

"Your not a true emperor as you cower away! You say your a king but your nothing like your father!" The Druid screamed back and Lance saw claws on Lotors finger tips.

"You even take pity! Zarkon would've killed the slave the moment he spoke out!" The Druid pointed at Lance without looking at him and Lance paled.

"He is none of your concern," Lotors voice was dark and low that sent shivers down lances spine.

Lance slowly made his way to Lotors bed to fold blankets and neatly set it back to normal. For a prince he sure is messy. Hagar snarled at Lotor comments about him being weak and Lotor roared back in rage about her lower position and replaceable. Lance never felt so awkward nor afraid of a fight, a witch and a prince.

"You haven't placed any attacks on Voltron since that foolish attack at the gas planet to long ago! We must attack or we will loose more planets!" Hagar clenched her fist snarling cruelly at him.

"I am your lord and you will respect my damn commands or you will be joining my father in hell!" Lotor towered over her with rage.

"You are no such thing to me Lotor! You are a exiled child with no structure except weakness at your feet!" Lance saw energy charging in her fists, clenched at her sides. He got to his knees slowly to 'fix the bottom of the bed' but silently reached for the gun on the side of the box.

"Weakness?!" Lotor screamed. "I have gone against the five Voltron lions and I stand again after my father faced Voltron and he is on his death bed!"

"I am stronger than you and my father," he spat in her face.

"Hybrids are weaker than humans," she hissed.

"At least I'm not pretending to be galra," he smirked sparkly at her and hagars eyes widen with rage and yelled about to attack Lotor.

BANG

She cried in pain when a blast went through her hand. Hagar snarled looking back seeing Lance on one knee and the blaster aimed at her in one hand.

She screamed and blasted Lance with black lightning making him slam against the wall knocking him unconscious.

"Leave Hagar," Lotor snarled with a sword at her throat and she glared at him with hatred.

"Of course sire," sarcasm dropped off her lips and she left the room with a slam of the doors. Lotor ran to lances side. He lifted Lance to the bed to check injuries but only could tell her have a concussion due to the dent in the wall.

"Blue? Blue wake up," Lotor poked his shoulder and Lance groaned in pain rolling over mumbling in Spanish.

Lance sat up quickly turning to Lotor as the prince was calm. He grabbed the back of his head where it hurt and cris crossed his legs putting his hands in his lap.

"That was quit the shot blue," Lotor smirked at him and Lance chuckled nervously.

"I'm probably in trouble aren't I?" Lance remembered the shot he took.

"Hell no," he snorted. "Your quit he sharpshooter aren't you blue?"

Lance perked up at the nickname. Sharpshooter. He always wanted to be part of a team and just guns would be his thing, he always would have perfect aim with his siblings when they turned the house into a nerf war zone when their parents went out of town.

"I'm no sharpshooter sir," Lance blushed a little.

"With that shot? You must be daft or to modest to say that wasn't a sharpshot, my general Acxa  mightve not even been able to make that shot in such fast time," Lotor smiled proudly almost at Lance.

"Um thank you, I'm just as surprised as you sire," Lance gulped.

"Well you did take a hit back, I say minor concussion, easy thing to sleep off in a day or two," Lotor gently grabbed lances head to inspect his bruise on the back.

"I'm fine, it's nothing," Lance waved him off backing away and got off the bed.

"You really are modest aren't you?" Lotor asked him calmly and Lance fiddled with his fingers.

"I-I..." Lance couldn't help but remember his deal. His freedom for two lives. Humans freedom for two lives...

"I'm just tougher than I look," Lance winked at him cracking his knuckles making Lotor smile with a quirked white eye brow.

"I'm sure you are blue," Lotor teased and Lance smiled a little.

"Lance, my names Lance,"
