"Guys!" Pidge yelled as Lance hopped on one foot as he was weaker from blood lost in his knee and pain was numbing his body.

"I'm fine..." Lance covering his face with a hand leaning on her.

"Lance what happened?!" Keith yelled surprised but that was enough to get Lotor to the front and saw Lance.

"I'm okay I swear," Lance breathed but grunted when Lotor scooped him in his arms, Lance gasped when his leg moved.

"What happened?" Lotor asked as he held Lance.

"We were caught," Pidge explained.

"I'm fine I swear," he lied. Lotor knew this.

"You shattered your fibula and tibia," Shiro looked at his dis formed leg.

"Get him to a pod," Allura told them and Coran shook his head.

"Princess his bones won't set right," he told her.

"Shiro, you studied medics for a while in garrisons," Matt told him as he walked over.

"Your wrist," he pointed out as Pidge took off the armor around his arm while Shiro removed the armor around his broken leg when Lotor set him on a metal table but Lance held onto his arm.

"You guys are over exasperating..." Lance closed his eyes taking a deep breath laying his head against Lotors arm.

"Dammit..." Shiro studied the leg kneeling as Lance looked away.

"Your patella was hit from the blast," Shiro explained looking up as coran came up with medical equipment as Allura kept hunk and Keith away.

"Coran care for his forearm, it's second degree burns," Matt told him as Lance hissed in pain.

"How did this happen?" Lotor held lances unwounded hand.

"I-I uh when, when we where found yea, they hacked my system and-and it electrocuted me, I didn't think it was that bad," lances voice weak and it shook as Shiro hasn't touched his leg yet.

"Prince lotor," Coran looked up at the galra and he nodded holding Lance closer.

"Lance put this in your mouth, it's going to hurt a lot," Coran gave him a thick cloth to bit down on and lances eyes widen seeing what was going to happen. He growled a little when Coran started to disinfect the wound and he placed his forehead against Lotors cool metal armor as Lotor whispered in his ear and comforted him.

"Your almost done, just a few more things," Lotor told him and Lance gulped.

"What's next?" Lotor asked looking at him.

"Cast his leg after resetting it, hopefully the pod will finish everything else," Coran nodded and Lance closed his eyes as his head pounded.

"Lance stay with us, stay with me," Lotor said calmly stroking lances knuckles with his thumb.

"What if it's to bad and you can't reset it?" Lance whispered.

"We have to replace your knee cap already from the shot, but you'd keep your leg still," Matt explained.

"And my shin?" He asked looking at Matt and Shiro.

"You'll be fine Lance," Shiro smiled reassuring and Lance nodded.

"Matt can you put him under, this is going to hurt him to much to be awake for," Shiro pulled him close in a whisper and he nodded as there was a needle already there.

"You don't have to whisper, it's fine," Lance groaned sitting back up but held his head.

"Just drug me," he held out his arm as he was barley strong enough to lift it. Matt sighed and stuck the needle through his black clothes and into his skin.

They waited a few moments as lances eyes fluttered shut and Lotor caught him immediately as Lance fell limp.

"So how bad is the wound truly?" Lotor looked at the others as he set Lance on the table.

"I don't know, we will have to replace his kneecap, that's to damaged from the shot," Matt nodded.

"But his shin, it's shattered like glass, whatever the impact was, a human bone couldn't take it, if we cast it up it might heal right, but..." Shiro trailed off with a sigh.

"It won't have to be amputated will it?" Matt asked worriedly.

"That is not our choice to make," Lotor told him as he studied the shattered bone of his lover.

"Lotor it may come to that," Shiro looked away.

"Paladin I understand you are not in this field of battle, the medical field is not for all, but amputating won't not be an option," Lotor glared.

"Won't, or can't?" Matt bit his lip.

"It can't be our choice to make," Lotor narrowed his eyes at the blue paladin.

"No one wants their limb taken from them," Shiro told him.

"Don't you dare," Lotor sneered as his fingers turned to claws.

"Prince Lotor, I understand you wish to protect Lance, but he's already in a lot of pain," Shiro argued yet he didn't want to do this to lance, he's been through enough betrayals.

"And cutting off his leg will relief the pain?!" Lotor snapped.

"It can't be healed!" Shiro yelled back and the room went silent.

"This.. This fracture, this broken bone, a pod won't heal it, his leg won't heal properly in anyway," Shiro pinched the bridge of his nose frustrated.

"But before," Matt said with wide eyes.

"The knee cap is replaceable but not a whole two bones," Shiro told him.

"Let Lance have that choice, not you," Lotor glared.

"Last time he made a choice he was in the clutches of the galra," Shiro glared back and Matt pushed them apart.

"We all have been in the clutches of the galra!" He yelled at them.

"But we don't have the time, Lance won't wake up for a while and his bones already fucked up from the hour he spent with no medical help, so are we going to do this or not?" Matt asked sharply standing between the two.

"No,"

"Yes,"

"Yes,"

They turned around and saw Allura who was listening as she had her hair down as well.

"Shiro is right, I'm sorry, I don't want Lance to be in anymore pain than he already is," she whispered holding her hands behind her back.

"You ignorants! Replacing his leg with a robotic won't do anything! If you think that will speed up time of healing then you are daftly incorrect," Lotor snarked at them.

"I want no part in this," he glared at them all.

"We will take the blame prince Lotor," Allura nodded.

"Take the- princess Allura, this is your fault, the blame is already all of yours," he scoffed.

"When this war is over, and I pray to hell it will be over, our alliance is over," he growled.

"And is that lances choice as well?" Allura asked calmly.

"You never gave him one before, it was his choice to return to me when you casted him out, he could've gone back to earth, could've stayed and betrayed me with the information, I give him a choice because it seems I'm the only one who give a quiznexing damn about this man!"

Keith covered his mouth as he listened behind the wall that led to the outside as tears slid down his face when Lotor left the room.

'Don't do it Shiro...'

He heard Shiro say commands to hold Lance down.

Keith ran away before he could hear Lance scream.

But the screams reached him before he could get away.
