Axca listened to Lotor as he gave her a new order, to watch Lance. Since he was brought here she's been doing the necessary necessities for him. Checking on him, bringing his food and water and patching him up when Lotor did something to him. He looked so fragile that even the hardest punch would render him in a state of pain yet from the marks she saw last time when Lotor told her to patch him he looked like he could handle pain just fine and he didn't look that all in a wince when she fixed him up. Did he have a high pain tolerance or something? It was rare these days to have that if she was honest. 

Lotor walked off to where she guessed was his quarters, Ezor and Zethrid where off mission together and Narti was going over reports from her last mission. Why was she tasked with watching the Blue paladin again? In a sense it was kind of the right choice, Narti can't see or talk leaving her unable to properly do the job, Ezor wouldn't help the situation and Zethrid may end up killing him so she was defiantly not the right one for the task either. So that left her to do the task. In the meantime she would go to her own quarters and do some work of her own, if Lance was going to be under her care from now on, better to find what she can learn about him. 




Lotor got dressed again, Lance bare and battered once again. "Fun times I live in" Lotor chuckled to himself as Lance shriveled in a curl trying to hid what little has never been touched, "I hate you" he muttered "And as you may, but you will never leave my grasp anymore. I won't allow such a fine specimen Omega leave my collection" Lance jerked away from him without even looking, this foul Alpha reeks and he will never forget the malice behind his complexation of appearance. Amused and satisfied with what he's accomplished so far he left the room leaving Lance to himself again, why can't he just go home already? Again he was beginning to loose hope on escaping, he tried to escape one time before but he ended up not in the best state and couldn't move for a few days so any and all escape attempts fell flat in the gutters, what a life he's living. He wondered how the others were doing, were they looking for him? Did they miss him? Did the even want him back? Did he have the right to even claim his titles as Prince and Paladin or will his status forever stay put as an Omega........

He wanted to cry, he closed his eyes knowing it was a better way in hiding the fact that his eyes would sting of salty tears. He hugged himself and let himself drift into uneasy sleep, he was exhausted and battered raping became almost an everyday thing or if he was somewhat lucky, once a week at most but he didn't want to be raped, he wanted to be free, cuddled with the lions with his daughter and mate with him. Why couldn't he just be free for once in his miserable life.

What Mela even think of him if she ever saw him again, would she reach out for him? Would she even want him to hold her? What if she didn't even need him anymore..... would Voltron even want him anymore... With him so spaced out and trying to sleep he didn't even hear the doors open or a voice, when receiving no answer the figure set down whatever they had and walked over and grabbed his shoulder, unconsciously he jerked away and shrieked shooting up and scrambling away he nearly fell off the bed had his wrist not been caught to prevent his fall, he looked up at the catcher with fear written all over his face that Axca froze in her place. The air around them tense and filled with nothing but quick breathing by Lance. He nearly had a panic attack right then and there. 

Her hand hesitantly released his wrist and he shifted to a safer distance from where he nearly fell off. 

"D-did....... you just..." she coughed a little to remove the tension but it was only a little "I've brought you some food however I feel it's best that you are dressed and healed before that" he pulled the covers closer to him but even as he did so she could see the faded scars, It was none like she's ever seen before. "I-i..... " was he really able to eat this time? sure he ate very little of food she brought the last few times but last time he tried to eat while under a rapist, Axca took his wrist a lot more cautiously this time in case he freaked out like that again, she didn't know why she was acting this way maybe it's because he genuinely gave off no threatening vibes or was it because he was pregnant with Lotor's child? He looked timid and hesitant, should he trust her? He gulped Taking the chance and used the covers to cover himself as Axca led him to the bathroom and turned on the water, it was silent between them neither made any moves to speak to one another, it was an odd silence but it wasn't potentially awkward.  

With the water raining down in the shower Axca turned around and Lance didn't know whether or not to get into the water, he let the blanket come off his skin and he set on the toilet and basically tried to hide within the water curling his legs to his chest and hugging them with his head resting on them. He could feel his ears and tail shifting stiffly while hidden, he wasn't letting them out no matter how hard it hurt him, he wasn't going to budge. His back was to her as he spoke "Why... why do you keep bringing me food and why were you like that a few moments ago...?" Axca turned her head to look at him only seeing his back to her she felt like her throat was in her stomach when she saw faded very evident torture marks on his back, why was she feeling like she was about to throw up? "I... Lotor ordered me to do it and he's assigned you under my care" he spared a glance at her "Under your care?" she nodded "And my life has gotten more fucked up.... I just want to go home and away from that damn Alpha, all he's done is make me relive in my past again like I didn't just get free from it awhile ago" She flinched a bit, she knew she had no right to prod but may she can learn some more on him because she came up a little empty on any background on him. She knew he was Altean if the blue marks or ears weren't a clear give away. "By relive in your past, what do you mean by that?" she now turned clearly in his direction, why was she suddenly interested? She had absolutely no idea. 

He was silent for about 30 minutes debating before he did decide to speak "Why should I tell you? You don't trust me and I don't trust you. I'm in enemy hands again, I'm not that stupid to just give away information and get killed in the process besides I don't want anyone else dying because I ran my mouth on things that shouldn't be said. So tell me, why should I trust a woman who works under my rapist?" his tone possibly came out a little too harsh but he even so, why should he trust Axca? Yes she's brung him food and water but the question remained the same. Her aura was hard to pinpoint, yes she was genuinely curious and wanted some answers but he couldn't tell is she was trustworthy or not. Her aura only gave him the normal white so he was both on guard and observing. She did frown but the way her aura changed to a vivid dark green told him she was disgusted when she heard the word rapist. 

Was she really someone he could trust?
