Chapter 5

3 months. It has been over 3 months since Lance's capture. Those 3 months have been filled with fury, anger, sadness, fear, tears, fists, fighting, screams, yells, sobs, resentment, sleep deprivation, and many more. The remaining paladins were falling apart.

The paladins were seated in the control room looking for Galran ships that had any sign of the blue paladin. The paladins spread out from eachother. Every single one of them was decorated with dark eye bags and tear tracks.

Pidge furiously typed on her computer searching for not only two people but now three. All of which were family, blood or not. They've slept around three hours in the last week and it showed underneath their eyes. Night filled with laptop screens and tears.

Hunk scribbling down notes furiously of all the routes he has remembered from each ship they have attacked. Eyes wide and a constant fear lurked in him. Fear for his teammate, friend, and so much more.

Keith sat against the table with hands pressed against his eyes. His brains filled with ideas of freeing Lance. Finding him. Anything. He missed the constant bickering. He missed his friend. His teammate. His 'rival'.

Shiro stared down at the table with glared eyes. Eyes swirled with fear and pain. The constant memories of imprisonment flooded his thoughts. Idea's lurked in the dark parts. 'I was only a scientist when I was capture and look at me now. But Lance, Oh Lance, is a paladin. It could be so much worse.'

Coran leaned against his station. Constant searching for his favorite. As bad as it sounded. The blue paladin was the only one who he can talk with and would actually listen. Who saved him from death. It was self-explanatory. His fingers in a constant movement searching through data and video footage.

Allura was constantly moving. Looking through every single galaxy came across. Creating wormhole's at every chance of a clue or hint. Sleep deprivation crossed her face every now and then, showing her strong facade was breaking piece by piece.

Hunks fearful voice broke the thick tension in the room.

"Has anyone found anything?"

All the people in the room looked towards the yellow paladin and all sighed. A chorus of no's echoed around the once silent room and everyone returned to their work.

Hunk nodded sharply before looking down and biting his lip. His hands gripped against his shirt sharply before he sighed and asked quickly.

"What do you think they're doing to him."

The question rung around the room and the silence was deafening after that. Tension hung thickly in the air.

"Probably torturing him for answers" Keith's voice rang out with a harshness.

Everyone's heads snapped towards him in shock. The thought crossed all of their minds but they never wanted to think it was true.

"Keith! Don't say stuff like that!" Allura's voice rang out and the rest of them looked towards her.

"What? It's true!" Keith's angry voice replied as he stood up.

Shiro stood up with him and grabbed his shoulder only to be shrugged off.

"Stop. Look all we have been doing is finding dead ends. We need to come up with a different approach. We need to actually try!" Keith yelled out

"We are trying!" Hunk stood up and glared.

"Paladins stop!" Coran walked towards them and yelled out.

After those few words arguments flooded the room. Yells echoed and hands slamming on tables beckoned the others to yell more.

"Guys stop!" Pidge's voice screamed out as she leaped up.

The others stopped and glared at her before all their faces fell into shock.

"I found something!"
