A/N: Keith gets injured in a battle, when he wakes up he doesn't have any memories of being up in space or even being Shiro's adopted brother.
*TW-Trigger Warnings: Contains panic attacks and implied self harm*

All Keith could hear was static as he dashed across the red planet's ground. He got split up from the others and was now all on his one with a few Galra soldiers after him. He kept running, fighting and the whole time he was trying to contact his team but all he got was static which angered him even more.

For the others, they could hear Keith clearly but he couldn't hear them. They had to stay back and listen to his heavy breathing, his winces in pain, his yells for them to answer him, but all they could give him no matter how hard they screamed was silence.

Eventually, everything came to an end. The paladins had defeated those they were fighting, saved the villagers and were now heading towards Keith's location but sadly they wouldn't be fast enough.

A shot could be heard through the coms then complete silence.

"KEITH!" yelled Shiro.

Everyone's eyes grew in size as they listened.
Listened for anything but all they got was nothing at all. So they moved onward faster, hoping that they were in fact not too late.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

All he knew was that he was freezing cold but the coldness felt somewhat deeper than just skin deep. He felt a wash of air hit his face as he felt his body falling forwards without his say. He landed on something soft and warm, and as he tried to open his eyes he was blinded by the bright lights causing him to slam his eyes shut again.

"-ith? Keith?"

He could hear someone near him speaking but he couldn't tell if it was directed at him. He slowly this time tried to open his eyes and was blinded by the lights but he was curious to know where he was at.

Everything was fuzzy and he had a hard time trying to figure out who was standing before him but most importantly who was holding his extremely weak body up. He turned his head to glance up at whom was holding him and all he could figure out through his blurry vision was a faint scar upon the bridge of a nose and some white hair hanging down before everything went black.

---------------------------------------------------

Everyone gasped when Keith passed out within Shiro's hold.

"Is he alright?" asked Hunk and Allura stepped forward, she placed a hand upon Keith's forehead and closed her eyes. Everyone was silent as they watched, a small glow came from her hands to Keith's head. Then suddenly as if she was burnt, she yanked her hand away, cradling it to her chest.

"What is it? What's wrong?" asked Pidge.

All eyes were on Allura now.

"I-I...I don't know, it is all so very confusing. Everything is a mess, his thoughts, memories they are all scattered and broken. I fear the worst for him" said Allura who then turned to face Coran. "Is there any test we can preform upon him to see if what I felt was true?"
Coran twisted the ends of his mustache fro a moment in thought before he shook his head 'no'.

''I'm sorry Princess, but I am afraid that we must all have to wait til he wakes up which might be in a few ticks or much more'' said Coran.

Shiro looked down at his little brother who was so pale and weak within his arms, a form of his brother that he hasn't seen in a long time.

-----------------------------------------------------

Lightning was crashing loudly outside as the rain kept pouring down. The front door blew open quickly, slamming into the wall leaving a small hole. Shiro looked up at the figure as they rushed into his house. It was his father and within his arms was a small, pale little boy who looked dead if Shiro was being honest.

His father pushed past him and laid the small boy upon the couch as his mother rushed into the room.

"What happened dear?!?" his mother questioned.

"Those bastards left him outside again!! I can't be sure but I think he might have been hit by lightning'' said his father as he pulled out his phone and called for help.
Shiro watched as his family moved about the house very quickly, his mother shutting the door then rushing upstairs to get some towels, fresh clothes and blankets. Shiro watched his father angry in the kitchen yelling on about their next door neighbors.

Shiro had only saw the boy a few times before and they were never happy moments, he was either being yelled at or hit and if he was by himself, the boy sat all alone in the back yard with a note book and tears in his eyes.

-------------------------------------------------

Shiro looked up and saw all of the other paladins looking at him for answers. Shiro turned to Coran.

"Coran? Is Keith well enough to be in his room?" asked Shiro for he knew if Keith woke up in the medical bay that he would only be more freaked out, Keith waking up in his room would be the best option for everyone, especially Keith.

"Well yes I suppose he is but...wouldn't it be best to keep him here, for us to watch over him?" Coran said. Shiro shook his head, he knew his little brother the best, better than anyone else in the whole universe.

"No, he will be more comfortable in his room and I'll keep an eye on him'' said Shiro and Coran nodded his head. Everyone watched as Shiro carried Keith out of the med bay.

Shiro slowly walked down the hallways towards Keith's bedroom, his eyes kept drifting downwards towards his brother in hopes that he would wake up soon and all would be alright but what Allura had said kept floating around in his mind.

"Everything is a mess, his thoughts, memories they are all scattered and broken. I fear the worst for him"

Shiro shook his head trying not to think about it but to focus on only Keith, the here and now. The future they could worry about later, as for any of his memories, Shiro hoped that some would be lost. He felt horrible for thinking that way but everything he knew that Keith went through was a hundred times worst for him and left behind so many scars.

Shiro entered Keith's room and gently laid him upon his bed, he brushed some of Keith's hair out of his face and smiled down at his little brother.

"Get some rest" he whispered as he pulled the blankets over Keith and sat down on the edge of the bed.

----------------------------------------------

With a gasp of air, Keith sat up very quickly. He looked around the room he was sitting in. He didn't recognized a single thing which made the tightness within his chest even tighter, but it was nothing to the panic attack that came crashing down upon him when he saw someone at the end of the bed.

Keith pushed his self quickly back, his back pressed against the wall as his chest rose and fell too quickly. He couldn't breathe or think. He had no idea where he was or who was at the end of his bed. He felt fear flowing through his veins. He could hear the figure talking to him but he couldn't make out what they were saying over his breathing.

Suddenly, the lights in the room came on, flooding everything making Keith tense up even more so for the few seconds he was blinded.

Once his eyes focused he looked over to where the person stood, he had no idea who he was and Keith pulled his knees up to his chest as his right hand slid under his blankets and to his pillow where his blade was at. He could see the person speaking to him but what caught him off guard was the person moving towards him as if he knew him. It wasn't in a harsh rush towards him that would cause him pain but in a way where he wanted him to settle down and relax. But Keith didn't know who this person was. They had black and white hair with a metal arm that looked liked it could take nothing to squeeze Keith's throat and kill him. Keith's panic attack only got that much worst along with his fear.

As the person got closer, Keith yanked his blade out and pointed it at the figure.

"I don't know who the hell you are but stay away from me!" yelled Keith.
