Lance feel to the ground unconscious as Lotor watched in horror as he looked back at Acxa with a snarl grabbing the barrel of her gun aiming it down before she let another blast hit him.

Acxa glared as she grabbed her second blaster and shot Lotor before he could see it coming. His body fell limp near lances with a groan

"Did you kill them?" Zethrid ran over with Ezor.

"They're just stunned," Acxa answers as ezor looked at Lance with wide eyes.

"Why did you shoot Lance?" She gulped seeing her close friend.

"He'd never betray Lotor," Acxa looked at her. "It's better this way,"

"We're not turning him in too... Are we?" She asked.

"..."

"Acxa?" Ezor said seriously.

"Help me secure them, let's make this quick," Acxa told the girls as they looked at the men.

------

Lotor groaned as he slowly gained consciousness again and gasped softly when he felt his wrist bind behind him. He groaned softly annoyed as he tugged on the cuffs behind his back.

"What are you doing? What have you done?" Lotor glared.

"Where's Lance? Where are you taking me?" Lotor asked frustrated yet sounded tired in his calm smooth voice.

"I'm sorry sir, nothing personal, this is our only way out," Zethrid said softly as she truly felt sorry for doing this.

"Where is Lance?" He asked again but anger filled his chest now.

"He's safe on this ship as well," she looked down. "Just unconscious,"

"You plan to give me up, I understand Zethrid," Lotor looked at her.

"You do what you must, and I'll do what I must," Lotor glared looking back and grunted as he dislocated his shoulders to roll them over to the front as they popped back into place and snapped the cuffs on his wrist. He gained control of his ship again.

"What the-" Zethrid saw her screen ring and suddenly was launched out of her seat as Lotor blasted himself at top speeds out of the area.

"Well there goes are bargaining ship," Zethrid landed on the second ship where Acxa and Ezor were.

"Now we're dead as Lotor," she growled.

---

Lotor set his ship on auto pilot to specific coordinates. He let out a tired sigh laying his head back. His eyes fluttered closed as sleep surrounded and took over his body.

Lance woke up with a groan as he felt his wrist chained too but looked around frantically not knowing where he was.

"Ezor? Zethrid? Acxa?" He grunted but a screen pulled up in front of him to the other pilot seat and saw Lotor sleeping.

He looked back and saw they where alone, no other fighter, no Zethrid on the ship.

"Lotor?" He gulped but waited a few seconds.

"I'm here, Get some rest," lotor sighed from the other side.

"Are you okay?" Lance asked concerned.

"I'm unharmed, it's going to be a long trip so I'd get some sleep if I were you," Lotor told him gently and lance nodded a little.

Lance looked back at the cuffs behind him and wondered how he was going to get free. Lance pulled his legs up and brought his wrist further down as he slid them under his butt and under his thighs.

"Fuck- God dammit come on this is so much easier in movies, fuck!" Lance squawked as he fell side ways in his seat with his back on the window and feet on the otherside.

"Son of a bitch," he groaned and slid his wrist under his feet and yanked at the cuffs but his strength was no where near the galra's.

"Seriously?" He whined sitting back up right.

----

Lance dozed on and off as he let Lotor sleep for hours on but let out a cry when the back of their ship was hit and heard Lotor gasp awake and quickly looked back.

"Rise and shine beautiful," Lance looked at him through the screen. "Father dearest found us,"

Seven fighter ships of the empire shot at the ship as Lotor gripped the controls and avoided being shot while lance charged up the large blast as Lotor steered them.

Lotor smirked as Lance fired the ion canon when he spun around and Lance shot two more hitting the ships dead on.

It was continuous as Lotor gracefully weaved them through the void of space and away of the ships, Lance shot back in hopes they would be destroyed.

"On the right," Lotor warned and Lance rolled his eyes.

"Babe, I know what I'm doing," Lance pulled the controls back and shifted it to the side as he shot back even with his wrist still together. "Do you know how hard it is to aim with your wrist together?"

"You are unable to get them off?" Lotor raised an eye brow.

"I'm human,"

"But still," Lotor shrugged and Lance sent him a flat look. They both grunted as they got hit again.

"Dick," Lance shot again and destroyed another.

Lotor sped up as another ship was heading their way and Lance narrowed his eyes as he ceased fire while Lotor pulled to the side for the one ship to crash into the two others.

Lance grunted as he destroyed two more and finally the last one before it hit them again. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in as they where in the safe for now.

They heard a beeping and Lotor looked down to see more ships heading their way but much larger.

"What's the plan?" Lance asked seriously. Lotto heard another screen sending a warning signal to him of a star that was unstable near by.

"Focus on getting those cuffs off, I'll get us out, I'm going to need you to trust me though, it's going to be dangerous," Lotor told him and Lance looked at him confused.

"Alright," he nodded as reached down in his boot to get a small tool he kept in case of these situations and focused on getting the cuffs off.

Lotor pressed a few buttons and they took off in a boost of speed as Lotor grunted as he controlled the speeding fighter.

Lance looked up with widen eyes as he saw a star flaming and looked like it would burst of it was just poked.

But he stayed silent.

More blasts where shot at them as they flew in the atmosphere of he sun as alarms started to go off. Lance closed his eyes not daring to see death under them but he knew Lotor wouldn't let them die so easily.

He couldn't help but open his eyes to see the heat on the ships behind them as one crashed into the sun and blew up. Lance gulped as his heart raced as worked faster on getting the cuffs off, he had to help.

"Lotor the radiation!" Lance cried out seeing the warns.

"Just trust me!" Lotor grunted as his hands shook. They dove closer and closer to the sun as Lance clenched his teeth while they shook and sweat dripped down the side of his head with wide eyes as he could hear Lotor trying to stay sturdy.

One of the cruisers that followed them went down and Lance felt his breathing speed up as panic rose in his chest when his cuffs finally broke off. Lotor grunted a roar as he pulled up from the deadly sun and shot into the cold air of space without hesitation.

Lance hugged his chest as he shook in his seat and Lotor panted trying to catch his breath but could hear Lance hyperventilating in his seat.

"Lance, are you alright?" Lotor asked still out of breath.

"I-I'll be f-fine," lances voice trembled. He whispered numbers counting to three as he took deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling, but his words trembled and Lotor looked at him with worried eyes.

So he started counting with him, up to three as he made Lance inhale with him and let out a breath counting back to one. It relaxed them both.

"What was that? Are you okay?" Lotor asked looking at Lance worried.

"It's... How I get back in control of my body, I haven't had a panic attack since I was with Voltron," Lance gulped nervously as he looked away embarrassed.

"A panic attack?" He questioned.

"Yea they just happen when I get really freaked out, it's different for everyone but when I'm way to freaked out or my anxiety is getting really bad I just..." Lance trailed off and Lotor nodded.

"And counting helps?" Lotor asked. Lance smiled softly, Lotor was curious, he wanted to know more so he could help next time Lance has one.

"In a way, inhaling and exhaling is what I'm counting more," Lance nodded.

"I see," Lotor smiled back happy to know this information for his love.

"So now what?" Lance asked pulling his ankles up to cris cross his legs.

"We find a safe place to land, may take a while but we need supplies and refills," Lotor explained and Lance nodded as his stomach softly growled.

"Agreed,"
