Lance only came out of his room for missions and meetings and when he was out he avoided the alphas of the pack, he didn't want to but given what happened with Keith he thought it would be best if it happened during a mission. One day Kolivan came to Lance before discussing the plan to take out Zarkon to ask him to do a special job "It's very rare the blades enlist non-glara but I've seen you in battle and I think your ranged battle skills would be best for the mission at hand. We need someone who could sneak around the galra headquarters and implant a virus in their defense systems, I would have asked Keith but he has proven that he will fight first and ask questions later. He is more victory or death than knowledge or death. You are better suited for this type of mission. Given that you have been hiding from your team for the last two weeks" Lance looked down and sighed "D-did Keith tell you?" Kolivan nodded "he was worried about your reaction and called me about it thinking it could be dangerous" Lance thought for a few minutes "I'll do it! But I would have to be back to help in the battle" Kolivan smiled slightly "If you get this done there won't be much of a battle" Lance smiled slightly "We can go home?" Kolivan nodded. They went to the control room and discussed the plan but Keith objected when Kolivan brought up the plan with Lance "I'm a blade and I can get around those ships without being caught. I had to go through those trials just to keep my knife and you're enlisting Lance!" Kolivan sighed "But will you? I asked Lance and he said he would do it. And don't use that alpha voice on me, boy! that's like a whisper compared to a fully grown Galra" Lance tensed up and backed away instinctively hiding behind Shiro but he smiled seeing Keith put in his place, Allura spoke up "Lance he has to be lying you wouldn't go into the eye of the storm alone!" Lance sighed as he stood on his own "I want to do this. As an Omega, I'm suffocating here. At least this way I can be with other omegas and it would be a few quintants a movement tops" Keith and Shiro looked at each other "Sorry We didn't realise Lance" Lance sighed "Save your breath. Your apologies mean nothing 'cause you can't control it." Lance did his part for the mission and went to get Slav with Shiro and Pidge. When they got back to the lion Slav saw Lance "You might want to greatly reconsider your next move" Lance glared at him "I'm doing that infiltration mission ok! Not even a super genius will stop me!!" Lance was mad cause it was a decision he made and the alphas were trying to get him to leave it.
Lance dropped them off and flew off to get the uniform and stuff from the blades to do the job. all they gave him was a USB thing and a cloak to cover the light of his armour "Sorry Lance but we can't get a uniform in your size this soon. they had to make Keiths" Lance turned off his armour lights "It's alright. It will be a one-time thing anyway" Lance went off and managed to sneak in with a shipment of raw quintessence and got into the vents as soon as the coast was clear. he quickly found the defense room and logged the patrol route and if it was a galra or sentry. It was fine like this for the first 5 days but when he got down to the console and transmitted the files to the blades he was caught and not by any bloodthirsty galra, he would have been happy if he was found by one of them at least it would be quick.
No, he was found by none other than Hager. As soon as he saw her face he got attacked by her lightning, and by the time he woke up she was at his cell and kicked in food and water "Why would Voltron have an Omega in their ranks and even worse send him alone" Lance looked around and sighed "The blades sent me! They don't care about ranks and asked me to do it 'cause I would be able to sneak around." Hager sighed "How long have you been here?" Lance smirked "5 quintants! I was hiding in the vents watching the patrols" Hager was getting annoyed but was impressed so instead of turning him in and killing him she kept him in a cage like a lab rat. He was only given enough food and water to survive, blindfolded and gagged when not spoken to, the few times he was untied from the wall he was used as a target for the blasters and the druid lightning but worst of all every day without fail he was injected with something in his lower back and nape of his neck. At first, it burned all over but over time it became nothing more than a tingle like goosebumps For some sick reason, they kept him in his armour but when his body started aching he managed to get off the arm and leg but his bayard was safely still at the blade headquarters with blue so it wouldn't get taken by the enemy. They had taken his helmet to prevent him from calling for help and so they could blind him. Lance had started losing hope but when he was listening he heard Voltron was brought up a lot he had reason to believe that there was still reason to fight.
Only after a few months he understood them and heard stuff about clones and that Voltron is still fighting 'They got the stuff! But who flew blue? According to the plan Allura had to power the wormhole. I doubt Coran did... Did they get a replacement for me?' Lance moved his head down as tears fell from underneath the blindfold. Then all of a sudden a male voice chuckled "Look at the proud blue paladin now?" Lance recognized the voice from somewhere, it was far too regal to be a druid or a soldier but too smooth to be Zarkon ".... Lotor!...." Lance put a hand over his throat hearing his voice for the first time in 2 months "I heard your only back cause my team was able to kill your father!" Lance winced and passed out getting a smirk from Lotor "Looks like the hags experiment is taking effect. I'm surprised you didn't feel it sooner... Lance" Lotor kept the truth quiet and left Voltron to believe Lance was dead it served his purposes nicely.
