Lost Girl (Voltron Fanfic)

Thirty

"Tomorrow is really the day," Shiro says

"We're really taking down Zarkon," Pidge says

"That means today might be our last day together," Hunk says

"Well, we all knew it was going to come sooner or later," I say

"This means we can go back to doing our own things," Lance says

"Means I can go back to one-upping Lance without their having to be a reason." I laugh

"Yeah, that's if you can get yourself to leave your girlfriend in space to lead by herself," Lance says

"Who said anything about Natasha staying behind?" Shiro asks "She deserves to come home to earth more than anybody."

"I'm staying and looking for my family," Pidge says

"We both are Pidge." Shiro corrects "And we will find them."

I look towards the sunset as we stand on the roof with our lions beneath us.

"I can do it." I say as I walk in

"Keith..." Allura says

"I can get in undetected because of my Galra DNA." I start "This also gives me the opportunity to check on Nat. See if everything is good on her side."

"We need you for Voltron." Allura argues

"I can be back before we even leave. Or I get my lion when you guys show up." I say

"This is a suicide mission." Allura says

I look at her before Kolivan agrees, looking between us.

"He's our only option as Thace has been compromised." Kolivan says

I walk towards the pods, getting ready to head out.

"Keith, you need to be careful. We can't form Voltron without the Red lion." Shiro says

"You know I'll be fine. Nat won't let anything happen to me if she's there like she should." I say

Shiro looks at me before grabbing my hand and pulling me in for a hug.

"Just stay safe out there." He instructs

"Will do," I whisper

"Could we have the room?" Allura asks

I look at her before everybody starts to clear out. I look at the ground before I finally look up at her.

"I know you hate me, and I can't blame you. I blamed the Galra for the destruction of my planet. When I found out you were one, I wanted to hate you, but I couldn't." Allura starts "You are the proof that not all Galrans are evil."

She looks at me before hugging me.

"Come back safely. This team needs you." She says "Both you and Natasha."

"I will Princess. I'll get us both back." I whisper before letting her go

I wave before climbing into the pod and taking off.

I look around the ship before running towards the coordinates on my map. I stop behind a pillar when I hear voices.

"Where is Haggar keeping him?" A voice asks

"Princess, we can't tell you that." A sentry says

I hear a thud before I risk a glance to see a girl in the paladin armor standing there, holding the Galra soldier against the wall.

"He's gone! They killed him while trying to interrogate him about who he works for." The Galra soldier whimpers
