*****************************************

A few days had passed and everyone and everything seemed just peachy. No attacks, no distress signals and no falling into any traps either. The paladins chatted among themselves with the coms. Romelle being moved into the Black lion to be a buddy with Keith and stop anyone from being in the lions alone. Sure, Hunk was alone in the yellow lion but he now shared it with kaltenecker and the four mice still. 

No more films were shown over a shared link due to Matt only actually having the three dvds of the MIBs but at least he learnt that Alteans seemed to find Will Smith as interesting and seemed to find earth old versions over aliens as funny. 

They also noticed that the air between Shiro and Pidge had changed, they weren't awkward or tensed anymore. In face, they both seemed much freer and happier in a way. No one asked if something happened, they would leave the two to their moments of peace while they could have them. 

But, then one morning came and Pidge was slamming the alert in the red lion. Dressed in her full armour, helmet on and she had the cot pit door completely locked. Almost everyone waking up in panic and rushing to the cot pit to see what was wrong, leaving two paladins in bed. 

"H-He's infected with something. I noticed he was squirming in his sleep and scanned him, he's infected with something" Pidge yelled out in a panic, sending the scans to the other lions.

"Infected? Is it something dangerous?" Romelle asked with slight fear as she looked for Keith, waiting for answers. 

"Um, Matt what dose these readings mean?" Keith asked with a puzzled look as he had no clue over the Altean words popping up.

"Oh right, we never activated your translator. See the lilac button in the settings, press that and it will translate any alien language to English. Pidge and I built it when Lotor still rolled with us, she explained each alien word and I found the English version for it to help us read anything alien in the future" Matt mumbled out as he showed the settings button on their paladin armour halo and showing Keith what to press.

"Hang on, this isn't an infection in the shake we're fearful over" Shiro spoke up, raising an eyebrow towards the joint screens and looking to his freaked out courting partner. 

"Yes it is, the Galra had never held a sickness like this before. The levels do not compare to any form of illness we've faced before ... he's infected with something unknown" Pidge snapped back, fear clear in her eyes. 

"No, Katie, calm down. Look at me, it's just a common cold. It's very normal for humans to get, it's strange that Lance somehow caught one in space but it's nothing to fear over. Our immune system can handle this and he'll be better in a day or two" Shiro spoke up, his voice calm and kind as he met with her gaze, trying to help control her rapid breathing by keeping her focus on him. 

"Hmm, the Galra don't get common colds" Matt muttered impressed he thought anyone could catch a cold, well a version of a cold anyway. It was a cold after all, there had to be something similar for the Galra race.

"They've lived in ships for a thousand years and on a dry planet. They never had to deal with a form of a cold before, most likely. Meaning this wouldn't be written down a sickness in their medical file. This could be dangerous for Pidge" Keith replied with a bit of worry, Shiro glancing towards the black lion screen with worry before turning back to Pidge.
