Lance Pov
The next day we all reported to base. Keith was back and it seemed everyone was feeling good that he was back. I was cause now we had a leader who would listen to our ideas before he trashed it. "It feels a little weird being back with all of you" he said before hunk picked him up and hugged him "We missed you buddy!" He said as Keith chuckles as Pidge hugs him too

"Yeah, dude you needed to be back" he smirks as he looks at the files we collected "Well seems that whoever shot and hurt you guys are staying low. But we don't know how long it's gonna take before they start again." We nodded as someone walked in "Katie I brought your laptop." It was Matt "Matt!" I smiled as he gave me one back and he looked different? Taller? No. Glasses? Oh his hair! It's a bit longer now.

"Hey guys. Lance buddy you okay?" "Yeah I'm good. How are you? Haven't seen you since the graduation." "Oh I've been doing stuff on my own. Actually spending time with the blades for a bit." Keith looked at Matt and walked closer "You were in blades? I've been there for a year now. I've never saw you?"

"Oh I just recently started, I was with someone else before i joined them. Thats probably why?" He nods "So Matt whats up dude?" I pulled him away as Keith raised a brow at me before we disappeared "So Keith is back?" "Yeah. He's also my boyfriend now" "I knew you two would end up together. Even Pidge knew too." "Wow you guys already knew?"

"Well duh? The way you two acted back then and to now? So obvious." We laughed a bit as he touches my arm "How's Shiro doing?" "I don't want to talk about it" "Have you told the others?" "No. I don't want them worrying for now." "You know he's a little unstable right now? His arm is Garla tech and they can put viruses in them." "I know but he's staying out of missions and being at base. Do you have any codes to delete the virus?"

"I do but problem is I could delete his memories. Even his precious ones and I really don't want his brother to panic knowing his brother doesn't remember him." I sigh "Thanks. We'll figure something out." I hugged Matt but before I let go there stood Keith with his arms crossed "Babe? What's wrong?" "Nothing just checking on you" I sigh

"I'm gonna take off. Probably help Pidge a bit." Matt walked by us and Keith soon walked towards me as he held my face "What?" "You're acting strange? What's wrong? We always tell each other what's wrong?" "Nothing okay? He just asked about my arm and that he has some things to take care of. I promise." He nods and we kiss before we walk back to the room. Keith doesn't need to know just yet.

"I don't want to alarm you but Keith is hardcore staring at you and Matt for the past half hour and it's killing the vibe." I looked up and see Keith with his eyes trained on me while hunk talks to him. "He's fine. He's just making sure I'm fine." As I smiled Matt put his hand on my good arm "That's a good boyfriend. Also Pidge tells me you two are disgusting with each other." I chuckled

"She's dramatic. We're not that gross." She rolled her eyes as she shakes her head "You two are weird. Matt can you pass me that please." "Sure." I look at what they were making but I'm all honesty I have no clue? "What's are you two making?" "A magnetic field so we can pass barriers when on missions. Also we recalibrated the camouflage device on our suits. So no accidents this time."

I nod as I move my shoulder and wince a bit "Oh you alright buddy?" I chuckled "Yeah I'm fine Matt. It's not so bad" as i sigh I felt arms wrap around my waist and warm lips on my neck "You okay Lance?" I shiver a bit "Yes I'm fine Keith just needed a stretch." "You need to be careful or your wound will open again." I sigh "Keith I'm fine. Excuse me for a bit" I pulled away and walked out "Do you want me?"

"No. I want to be alone." He lowers his head and I shake my head "He's acting weird and a bit clingy. Am I like that?" I groan as i make it to the infirmary to get some pain killers as i turn there stood Matt. "Oh you scared me Matt. What's up?" He didn't say anything and I was confused as i walked slowly towards him "Matt? You okay dude?"

As I went to touch him he grabbed me by neck as I started to choke. I was struggling as he held me against the wall "M..matt..s..stop" I could barely breathe before someone knocked him out with a fire extinguisher "Lance! You okay?" I coughed as I see Keith and I cuddled closer to him "What's wrong with him?" "That's not Matt. It's a copy"

I raised a brow but as i was gonna speak there stood Matt and Pidge "Uh? Why is there another me?" I held my neck as Keith soothed my back "Garla tech." Keith said before he helped me up "Their using DNA and creating these copies of anyone who is of use. It's a matter of time before it's one of us."

Keith turned the copy seeing he was still breathing "What do we do with him?" Pidge asked hiding behind her brother "We ask questions." I voiced as everyone looked at me "Right." I took a seat as i watched the other tie the copy up as he started to stir. "W..what?" He opened his eyes as he looked at us and started to struggled but realised he was tied up

"Where am I?! Why am I tied up?!" "Who are you?" "Matthew Holt." I shake my head "No you're not. You tried killing me? Why?" "I don't know? I blanked out?" "He's hopeless" Keith groans "Who are you and where did you come from?" The copy shrugged "I don't know? All I know is that they were trying to kill me" the copy glared at Keith then towards me

"What? Why would i or him try to kill you?" "Because it's what they want.." okay this is some mumbo jumbo stuff and I'm not in the condition for fighting. "Alright why do 'They' want us to kill you?" He was silent "Well?" He stopped and his eyes dialated to a weird yellow before he broke free and aimed for Keith. I tried to help but I was thrown across the room before I could even throw a punch.

One by one he knocked us until Keith was being soffactated by the copy but was freed when Shiro shoved his arm into the copies chest. "What's going on here? Keith are you okay?" Keith nods and runs towards me even though he looks worse "You okay?" "Yeah how about you?" "It's just a bruise I'll heal." I smirked as he pressed his head against mine.

"Shiro! They're making copies of us! It's like a weapon against us! They made my brother and said that Lance and Keith were trying to kill him cause they wanted him dead?! I have no idea and then..then." "Pidge, breathe" she takes a deep breath "We are fucked!" He blinks still unsure and looks at me and Keith "What's going on?" "Long story.."
