Bullets {Klance Gang AU}

Plan B

(( Welp... this happened... *nervous and scared laughter*))

Two days, many panic attacks, and some overnight suicide watches later, Adam was still at Lotor's and still breathing. Shiro and Matt especially kept watch on the glasses cam to make sure things weren't going belly up.

They were anticipating when a guard would stop standing by Adam's door every night, so then he would be able to sneak out and let everyone in. According to Pidge's hypothesis, that night would be very soon, if not the same one as they watched.

" The guards have stopped following him around the halls, so my guess is... tonight. We have to be prepared to make our move." She told Shiro, looking at him with an unrivaled seriousness. This whole operation would have to be swift and quiet, and cloaked by the night.

Shiro drank some coffee and rubbed his eyes, knowing exactly what that meant.

He was going to have to kill someone, and that was something he'd never been tasked with before. Even worse... it wasn't just any person. It was Lotor, the same Lotor who was dastardly enough to murder his own fianceé, the same one who could take out anyone the second they even looked at him wrong. It should've made it better, the fact that he 'deserved' it, but it didn't. Shiro despised him and all, but believe it or not, Lotor was still a person.

He hoped he could go through with it, even if it would leave a permanent scar on his conscience.

" I'll tell Lance and Keith to get ready..." Pidge said, and Shiro nodded.

" I'll tell Adam to make his move at midnight, given that the conditions are suitable..." Shiro spoke darkly, staring at the floor. Matt, who was next to him, had never seen such a look on his face before. It was more than something so simple as anger or sadness. It was hatred, but for who the hatred was aimed toward... that was the question. Matt had a hunch Shiro was directing at least a part of it toward himself.

Once Pidge left the room, Matt reached out and took Shiro's hand.

" I trust whatever you do out there..." He murmured, and Shiro picked his gaze up to point it at his boyfriend. He didn't say a word while pulling the ginger haired male closer, enveloping him in a hug.

...

" Klance!" Pidge banged on Keith's bedroom door, and Kosmo's barking sounded from the inside. It was followed by a low groan from someone, probably Lance.

She rolled her eyes and folded her arms, not knowing what the boys were up to in there. Right as she was about to knock again, Lance pulled the door open. He had a bedhead, but it didn't seem as though he'd been asleep. He was wearing a t-shirt and boxers, and Keith was still in bed.

They were probably cuddling to the Netflix playing in the back, wanting to utilize the time they had left before the mission.

" Yeah?" Lance asked.

" Tonight... Adam is making his move, and you'll have to go with Shiro." She informed them, and Lance's face shaded as he stared down.

" So this is it, huh?" He asked, and Pidge nodded.

" You should get ready... and meet with everyone, too. I'm sure Shiro has a Plan B."

Telling them wasn't easy for Pidge. She didn't want to risk her friends, but that was the consensus the family had come to. Lance told her a quiet 'okay' before closing the door. He came back to the bed, where he collapsed beside Keith and embraced him again.

" What's going on?" Keith asked, not having heard what the two discussed.

" We're going in tonight..." Lance muttered, and Keith immediately felt his whole body tense in response to the news. His bracelet jingled, and Kosmo whimpered. He crawled further over Keith and licked his face.
