"Officer shirogane," Iverson walked over with officer Adam Wyatt behind him. "It's great to see you again,"

"I-it's great to see you too," Shiro smiled in awe of the younger man behind the commander. His heart raced.

"I'd like to introduce to you our altean allies, Allura, Romelle and Coran," he blushed a little as Coran glared at iverson over his shoulder. "And prince Lotor is apart of us as well, he's with hunk,"

"The honor is ours," Adam smiled gently. God.. he looked older, but he didn't change much.

"Officer takashi," Adam grinned.

"Whos officer takashi?" Allura asked confused.

"It's my first name, this is Officer Adam," Shiro gulped motioning to the man.

"Your technology has been instrumental in defending this small corner of earth," iverson cut in already knowing of the twos history.

"Ah yes, pop pop was quite the genius," Coran twisted his mustache.

"And cadet," iverson looked over at keith who was crouched down to kosmo and petting him.

"Yes sir," Keith stood with a salute.

"I owe you an apology, I heard of what you've done, I was wrong about you," iverson looked at his old student who was expelled after Shiro was missing.

"It's an honor and privilege to see you again," he nodded. Keith smiled a little.

"Thank you sir," Keith gulped a little prideful of being excepted again.

"Prince Lotor, cadet Lance Mcclain," iverson walked over to hunk, Lotor and Lance walked over confused hearing his name, Veronica held his hand tightly seeing the large galra.

"You both are arrested and will be taken into garrison custody," he pursed his lips seeing the shock in the Paladins.

"Commander what?" Veronica stood in front of her brother.

"I'm sorry but admiral sanda told me to take you two in as soon as you arrived," he sighed a little with some soldiers coming up to take the galra and general.

"Lance didn't do anything," Veronica hissed.

"He worked with the galra," a woman with short grey hair and in uniform walked over.

"Lance would never!" She defended her brother. Looking over her shoulder Lance wasn't fighting against it.

"I did, I was prince Lotors general for months," Lance sighed nodding and held out his wrists. He was pushed against the truck with his hands behind his back as Lance grunted at the force.

"Prince Lotor come with us," the woman glared up at the galra seeing there was no way to cuff him. Lotor glared down at her but complied when they started to lead Lance away.

"Lance?" Pidge and Keith looked horrified seeing their Paladin being arrested.

"It's fine, just update me on what happens," Lance smiled back at them as he and Lotor walked together with soldiers in front and behind them with guns.

Lance looked over with a glare at his own family, his parents looked horrified he was with a galra leader. They didn't know anything that happened, they didn't know what he's given up, lost, and what he did.

"Lance," Lotor kept his eyes ahead as they were side by side once again.

"Let me take this blame, you need to be with the Paladins," he told him in a low tone. Lance pursed his lips shaking his head.

"I worked with you willingly and was loyal to the galra," Lance didn't bother looking at him as they went inside the garrisons.

"They won't do anything to me," he said confidently.

-

"So what's going to happen to Lance?" Pidge asked concerned as an hour went by after the arrest.

"They're going to interrogate him and Lotor, the word got out of Lotors battle against you and with Lance being a general he is just as guilty," Sam pursed his lips as they were all in a room together.

"Lance isn't guilty of what Lotor did," Keith glared.

"He might not be but the garrisons... has really been strict on the alien knowledge, I was isolated from telling the world even aliens existed," Sam nodded understanding.

"We need Lance, he's a Paladin of voltron," Shiro stepped up.

"He's also a general of the last emperor of the galra,"

-

Lance and Lotor were in a room alone together as their wrists were cuffed down to a metal table, even Lotors one wrist.

"You look like your doing well," Lotor commented innocently.

"Oh my god, shut up, don't talk to me," Lance snapped at him.

"Just making conversation," Lotor mumbled.

"No I don't want to have conversations with you," he glared.

"Can we at least talk before the humans come back?" Lotor offered.

"And say what? What could you possibly want to talk about Lotor? I'm so angry at you still," lances jaw trembled.

"You have every right to be angry Lance, what I did was horrendous, most shameful thing I've ever done," Lotor admitted as Lance couldn't even look at him.

"I'm so sorry Lance," he whispered.

"I defended you, so many times, do you know how much it hurt to join voltron to fight against you? And to find out what pain you've caused on the universe? What happened to the girls? They were our family!" Lance snapped at him with tears in his eyes.

"We did it, we finally had our freedom, you didn't have to come back to the castle to fight, I would've came to you, we didn't need that power, we were happy Lotor!" A tear ran down his face as Lotor looked at him in pain.

"You lost it all, you lost your empire, you lost your people, galra and altean, you lost your power and your blade, you lost your generals! This is on you, you took it to far, and you lost everything!" Lance screamed with pain in his voice and tears down his face.

"You lost me, I don't know what to do anymore, you left me with them, you left me alone, you knew me and you left me," his voice broke as Lance looked at him disappointed.

"I know, I have no excuses, but Lance please believe me I still love you, I would do anything to take it back," Lotor whispered as his chest hurt, he wanted to throw up at how sickening his actions were.

"I don't want the empire back, I don't want the title of a prince or emperor, I'm so sorry Lance please, I beg of you, I might've lost you but trust me you have not lost me," Lotor clenched his fist tightly.

"Let me redeem myself my love," he gulped.

"Don't-dont call me that," lances heart broke at the name.

"You must feel something for me still Lance, you saved my life, you cared for me when I saw death," Lotor whispered gently and Lance closed his eyes.

"I did, I couldn't let you die alone there, but I hate myself for trying so hard to keep you alive while you suffer still," Lance clenched his jaw tightly.

"If I still have a chance, I never suffered," Lotor looked at him gently.

"I'm not doing this with you," Lance shook his head. "I have other things to worry about, my sister Veronica is all I have on this earth, she's still here an-and..."

"I know, she was the only one there for you after chloe.." Lotor looked down and Lance inhaled deeply.

"I just want to know why you were going to kill me too? You said if I wasn't with you I was against you, i-I Cant.. after everything we've went through I can't believe you would say that to me," lance looked back at him.

"I said that?"

"Love I don't.. I don't remember much of the battle, it was numb and black, I spoke to Axca and hunk about it, I don't remember, it was loud and there were voices screaming and then just darkness and silence," Lotor sighed keeping his head down in shame like a dog. He felt ill at the thought of what monster he was in that amount of time he doesn't remember.

"Heh.. you were right Lance, I should've never gone into the quintessents field," he whispered.

Lance didn't respond, he kept his eyes down as he didn't feel the need to scream his anger out anymore, he was angry but he was hurt, Lotor was the one person he trusted more than anyone. His first real love.

"Let's just get this interrogation over with, we're not done talking yet, I just don't want to do it in here," lance huffed with a glare.
