Percy Jackson x Voltron (Season 1)

Return of the Gladiator

“Great job training today, guys. We’re really getting the hang of Voltron.” Shiro told the team having just finished their training for the day. They were all walking together apart from Pidge, who went to check on the rescued prisoners.

“Seriously, how far do you think my lion kicked that broken alien ship?” Lance asked them, Percy wincing at the memory. “Must have been like a mile!”

“Yeah, that’ll come in handy when the Galra challenges Voltron to a soccer match.” Keith responded.

“Hey, I did something cool, and you can’t handle it. I get it.”

“Your kick ruined our balance. We fell.”

“That falling part was Hunk’s fault.” Lance blamed.

“Hey!” Hunk yelled out.

“Boys, enough.” Percy scolded lightly, they all immediately listened.

After watching her memories and life, the team had gained so much respect and trust for Percy, they all looked up to her. She was their personal hero. The team also knew how humble Percy was, so they would never admit any of it out loud to her.

“Save your energy for fighting Zarkon.” Shiro added in.

“Hello guys! How was the Voltron work out?” Coran asked, walking into the room while the paladins sat around a table.

“We’re getting there.” Shiro responded.

“Are you and Allura almost done fixing the Castle so we can leave this planet?” Percy asked, sitting up.

“I feel like we’re sitting ducks here on Arus.” Shiro finished, Percy pointing to him in agreement.

“Just about.” Reassured Coran, “In the meantime, to get your minds off those duck seats you’re worried about, I made you guys an authentic ancient paladin lunch!” he said, putting down the tray he was holding into the table, pulling off the lid to reveal this horrible looking meal making everyone groan in disgust.

“Coran, you just got me hooked on that goo and now you’re switching it up?” Hunk complained.

“This is packed with nutrients.” Coran told them.

Hunk leaned towards the thing that was supposed to be food and sniffed it, Percy mentally saluted him for it. “Oh, it smells disgusting!”

“I know! That’s how you know it’s healthy!” Coran responded, not seeing a problem. Percy flinched a little, it’s what her mother used to say.

“Coran, we’re on a planet now with fresh herbs, spices, and whatever this thing is. A tuber?” Hunk explained, picking up some weird plant. “Now if you excuse me, I’m going to head back to the kitchen and spice things up.” Hunk decided.

Shiro and Percy shared a look, celebrating with their eyes.

“Where’s Pidge?” Shiro questioned after Hunk walked out.

“He’s probably checking on those prisoners we rescued from Zarkon.” Coran guessed, eating the food he brough out.

“They are.” Percy confirmed, careful not to reveal Pidge is actually a girl.

“They’ll all be waking soon in the infirmary.” Coran finished.

Shiro stood up to join Pidge but was stopped by Coran, who was holding up a forkful of the food to Shiro’s mouth. “Open the hatch. Food lion coming in!” Coran said before making airplane noises, moving the fork closer to Shiro. Percy was looking on at them, clear amusement on her face.
