Chapter 12 (Rewritten)

"I can't believe it, we're finally back to Earth." The tone of Hunk was pure euphoria and he felt the same but also still had mixed feelings. Something just felt not right. There was just this dread that got worse as they got closer to Earth.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Keith soon added and he smiled slightly. Even with this dread feeling he couldn't help but feel excited. Everyone started to fly towards Earth and Wally glanced at him and it seemed that the male had the same dread as he was feeling right now. A thing that was never a good sign.

"I'll see if I can get a message ahead to my Dad." Pidge stated and he wasn't sure that it was a good idea. There could be the risk that Galra could listen in on this and he could just hope that they would be lucky.

"Dad it's me Pidge. Do you copy? We're back in Earth's solar system and heading home now."

He waited for what would be answered after Pidge had said this but the dread just was not stopping and it was making him feel on edge and his stomach feeling queasy now. Wally held him closer and he could feel the tension coming from the other as well.

Then there was an answer and it was making his eyes grow as he should have known that his gut feelings were so far always right. Seems like the Galra has indeed taken over the Earth. There was uncertainty about his family and friends.

The concern grew and he could just hope that they were all alright. Hoped that they were not captured, injured, or worse killed. For not just his sake but also for Wally as he could tell that the other was as concerned about this news. His breath hitched and he swallowed thickly. The need to curl himself into a ball and hide was there but he knew that he couldn't. Richard was the blue paladin and they needed him.

When glancing back he could see that his boyfriend looked pissed off. Never had he seen the other angered. He shivered and it made the other soften his gaze. But both nodded as the silent message was going through them; they will do anything in their power to get Earth back into their control even when it will take their life, after all, they were heroes and that was what heroes do. Protecting the weak and innocent.

"Oh no..." Allura's voice sounded devastated but by this point, he could not listen. All he could feel was the horror of this news. His thoughts spiraled soon afterward and lucky for him Wally interject.

"Hey, it's going to be alright. We cannot forget that they are heroes and we have to trust them, Dickie." It was said soothingly whispered in his ears and he swallowed but nodded. As he could just hope that they are alright.

"It's not a reply but a distress signal." Hunk stated and it made him swallow. This was something that he feared but they would not get away with this. He- No Voltron would make sure of this.

Everyone was squished together in a Galra fleet that they had taken over and now they were heading to Earth with it. His body was curled into the side of Wally as snuggled into the arms. There was also Romelle who was right next to him who went through his hair. It helped to soothe at least his anxiousness and he hoped that they would find survivors.

He could feel the horror still and fear for all the people he cared for and the innocent too. By now he had at least some parts of his family and his past team. A thing that he was relieved about but still he wasn't sure that he would be able to explain this to them. Nor had he any idea how they would react to this news.

Richard could just hope that they were alright after all they are heroes and they knew how to defend themselves but he knew how ruthless Galra's were. This thought alone made him have shivers all over his body.

His boyfriend pulled him closer as he was certain the other could feel the tremors all over his body. Then the landing came and gosh it was rocky and it was more like a crash landing. At least they managed to get out of this unharmed.

Both his boyfriend and he held hands tightly and it grounded him. Their eyes met and their hands squeezed reassuringly before everyone started to move.

The closer they came from civilization the more he knew that this would not be easy. That it would be almost impossible to do this.

"Fuck..." Was said in pure horror and how could he not say this out loud when looking at the destruction that had been caused?

It reminded him of that other place they had been. This was pure destruction and it showed the horror of war. Shiro muttered a language and he gave a glance and puffed his cheeks out at what Dad said.

His heart shattered in million pieces and he swallowed. Countless people surely were now going through what Wally, Shiro and he went through and it was horrifying and heartbreaking to know this. That was why he knew that Voltron needed to defeat them.

A deep breath was taken in and out. Then he pushed these feelings away. It was not mattering right now as they were out here and the danger of the Galra finding them was too high. So his expression changed to emotionless.

"We need to get to the Garrison, the only way to see that maybe there are survivors." His voice was as emotionless.

Now all eyes were on him but he moved as if not reacting to their concerned glances and not a surprise. Not with how he was looking right now but he could not be bothered or care about this. He needed to push his feeling aside for now. Breaking down can be later on.

Not the first time as he could do this with a snap of his fingers after all sometimes he had been sent to missions. He had done horrible things and that was something that not even Wally knew but he also knew that even when he would tell his boyfriend he would accept him.

But the fear and anxiousness made him hide this.

Wally glanced at him and he shrugged as this was like when he was Nightwing. Yes, he did say sarcastic things when he was Nightwing but never like this. Never emotionless and his boyfriend was the most worried but he was sure that the other would talk about this when they were in safety.

.

As they were in the middle once of a city, some drones found them and now they had to dodge and shoot left and right. This was something that he knew that the Galra had done to find some survivors.

"There are more incoming." He called out as dodging the beams. His moves were fluid and could remind someone of an acrobat with how he moved. It also could be reminded of a dance. It was something that Lotor liked about his fighting style and for him he hated it.

His eyes glared up now as he was fed up with this. All he wanted was to get this over with, find his family and friends, and then cuddle with anyone. It was not even mattering who it would be as long as he would get affection.

"Oh fuck."

"Holy shit, is this Dickie and Wally?" The familiar shocked voice almost brought him out of his focus. He fuzzily remembered their voice but he just couldn't remember where he had heard them.

It was for sure that he had not heard them for almost 4 years so not too surprising that he would not remember who exactly the two voices belong to. That was why his gaze went in that direction.

There he could see four people.

Two were the people he felt familiar with but he just could not remember where. Both had blue eye color and the same raven short hair. The two could be mistaken as brothers of his. There was also that one was smaller than the other at least 3 inches.

Their clothes matched a suit. It reminded him of a futuristic one. Either way, he was confused about who they were but when glancing at Wally he could tell that the other recognized them.

"Damian and Tim come on we need to get them out of here before more come." The unknown female stated but the two familiar brothers continued staring at him and also Wally. It was intimidating him as he shivered.

All in all, this was a situation that was intimidating for him. Too many people that he was both familiar and unfamiliar with. There was also his fear that they were not trustworthy. It could be a trap.

"Hey, come on, I am sure that you can trust them when they are with your brothers," Wally whispered reassuringly.

It made him feel confused for a moment but then he realized what his boyfriend was talking about and his mouth shaped to an oh. But he also had a wary look as he wasn't sure that he could trust these other two strangers. But he was sure that Wally was right that his brothers wouldn't be here when they wouldn't trust these other two.

They split up and he ended up with the two familiar people. Seeing them in real life was unexpected and felt almost surreal for him. His body tensed up and he leaned heavily into Wally. The other had his arms around and the two people in the front seat were glancing behind from time to time.

It made him fidget and nervous. Whatever would be said would be a question for sure and for sure more than one. Questions that he wasn't sure he could answer. The fear was hitting him suddenly and he could feel the panic slowly coming up.

Wally pulled him closer and he couldn't help himself but bury his face as hiding himself from the two. He was not liking the looks that he got and it was giving him mad anxiety.

"Richard?" The familiar cautious voice of a male made him let out an almost quiet whimper. He was not liking the attention at all. Even when he knows that these people are from his memory he still couldn't help but feel fearful.

"Sorry but just give us one moment," Wally called out, and right afterward some reassuring whispering words. It helped a bit with his anxiety but not a lot. His bestie always knew what to do to make him feel better.

Richard breathed slowly in and out like he got taught by Shi-Shi and felt his body relax a bit more. His head peaked out slowly with big innocent anxious eyes and lips quivered.

The looks that he saw the two gave him were both confusion but also concern and it made his head tilt in confusion. He was confused at why these two were confused and concerned about him. Yes, he had anxiety and all but he was feeling alright.

"You...good or did you end up injured?" This time it was the second person and he finally remembered his name: Timothy but he liked to call him Timbo. The other person was Damian but he liked to call him Dami.

His cheeks heated up as shyness grew now. He wasn't sure how to act around them not after he had not seen them in almost four years. He played with his sleeves feeling anxious once again but also the shyness stayed.

His mouth opened and closed as if trying to say something but he just couldn't get something out. Having the attention of both made him feel overwhelmed. He tried his very best not to panic but it was not easy with how his anxiousness getting worse.

The two had once again worried glances and even the expression was the same. The same was with Wally but he also had a knowing look. It made him shuffle closer and want to hide once again from the two. That was exactly what he did, hiding his face to the side.

"We both had some rough things happening but Dickie Birdie was worse than myself. The journey was rough." Wally explained grimly and he shivered at this as it was true. He also felt grateful that the other had not explained fully what he had gone through and Wally as well.

"These bastards will pay for what they have done to you two and Earth." The tone was gritted out and anger was heard apparent in Dami's voice. His body shivered at the reminder of Lotor's voice whenever he had been angered. This was not helping at all his anxiety.

"Damian shut it and tone it down. You're scaring Richard." The tone of Wally was warning and making his heart flutter but also slightly anxious. The tension had vanished and his body relaxed as snuggling himself into the side yet his head still hiding.

Though he could hear some profanities and also afterward an apology by the mentioned male. There had been some silence before it was soon broken by Tim this time.

"Our father never gave up on searching for both of us and Barry too. Actually, none of the heroes had. But you can probably tell by now that we weren't really getting somewhere. It was causing some tension." The tone was apologetic and he felt guilty now. It had been him who caused trouble and he hated being useless. Hated that he caused worry to others.

"But then we saw Wally on that message that we received and it gave us hope again that you would get here. But we also were worried sickly when hearing and saw you were not there. It was horrifying to know that you were still in their hands." Damian next and he could feel even guiltier. His head peaked out and he glanced up to Wally who had a red hue on his cheeks. This made him blink but also gave a teasing look.

That made the other huff out and shake his head in amusement and fondness. But he still also had a confused expression and the other realized that he had forgotten that fact. Making him puff his cheeks out and waiting for the explanation of what would come. A hand went through his hair and he leaned into the touch still looking up with the same confused expression.

"There was a chance to bring a message to our family and I just couldn't let this pass. Had to tell them that I am safe and that Voltron would come and also that we would try and rescue you." The explanation was soft and sheepish too. Clearly that the other had forgotten about this and was apologetic about this. It made him nod and a realization hit him.... Tati will so want answers.

Answers that he was not sure that he could give. His breath hitched and this caused a panic. But once again Wally had a knack to calm him down. It was something that he was grateful for as he wasn't wanting to have this that close to where they were heading.

"Okay now that this is out of the way what the hell happened to you two, do not avoid it." The tone was a warning but also softer than what he could remember coming from Damian. It was making him swallow, shudder and not want to talk about it.

It was why Wally was probably going to take over and that was good by him. The male was doing way better than he does. Even when he was having some mental issues as well but nowhere close as he has. It was a thing that he by now had noticed but they hadn't yet talked about it.

"Well we ended up getting-..." His bestie was trying to explain but paused giving him a glance that he could feel. It was a look that asked about the allowance to tell or not. Making him furrow his brows, body tensing up and slowly nodding after quickly looking up.

The explanation was nothing new. From how they ended up with the Galra, as they had pushed Artemis away up to them losing sight of each other, and later on about his bestie having been rescued with Voltron and staying with them up to now. The entire time he hid his face in fear as not even now the others knew the full story but he had been right about Lotor making him do things. Either way, he was not wanting to stop hiding. Not with what the two now knew. They were someone who he had been close with but now after all that went down, he feared that he would be pushed aside. That they would reject him. Then there came another part that made him feel his heart creep up out of shyness. Him mentioning that he was the blue paladin came unexpectedly. Though the other part with him finding it badass was not unexpected at all.

There were now looks bored through him with such an intensity that he couldn't help but peak out and swallow as getting nervous. It was as if the two knew that there were things left out. Knew that Wally had not said all of this and how could he? The other had not known exactly what he went through, even when he had said almost all. But never that he had blood on his hands.

"Okay, stop looking at him like this, your scaring him again." The tone was warning but also protective and it warmed his heart but also a nervousness was felt at the tension that arose now.

"Sorry, and I know that you have hidden some massive parts out. What did they do to our brother?" The tone was seething and it was clear that it upsettet both of the two family members of his but he was not liking this tone. A shiver went through him and he hid his face once again out of fear.

But soon the look was left and he felt himself relax. As peaking out he could see that Tim had an apologetic look given over to him and also a soft one.

"You bloody moron you're scaring him with a look like this." Tim shushed Dami and there was once again an apology coming from both and it was strange to him. A thing that even now he was not used to. Even after all the times being with Voltron.

This made the two brothers bicker and he blinked owlishly as it was familiar to him. A thing that even with his memory not all being here known. What he could see from his memory he had, that it was an occurring thing and most of the time it was him who broke the fight apart or Tati.

It was strange how these two had not changed too much even from what memory he had left. Leading him to find this silly and it made him giggle. This was just too comical seeing the two bicker about something that stupid. From what he could hear was about what was first being used for cornflakes. Milk or cornflakes. It was silly and he was not knowing why they argued about this silly topic.

It had been a while since he had earnestly laughed. This was what Wally seemed to know from what he could see from the surprised but soon soft smile that was seen. It was the first time that he was feeling a weight lifted, knowing that they were looking healthy.

But he stopped when realizing that the two looked at him with surprise. His cheeks slowly felt heating up and he fidgets at the look that he received. They looked both relieved but also adorning at him. The kind of look that Shi-Shi gave him or Romelle. Actually, all of the Voltron group gave him a look like this. A look that showed that they genuinely cared for him.

This was how a conversation started to spark between the four. It was for just this moment that he started to slowly warm up to the two again. Slowly he felt more relaxed but still, the shyness stayed. Leading for him to stutter but he felt content as finally being back. Finally having his family back and seeing them save was helping a lot his mental state.
