Star-Crossed Rivals || [Keith x Reader]

You left your hangar, pushing the steering handles forward as much as you could to gain some speed.
Xyra was next to the cockpit, standing ready to jump from Red as soon as you gave the order.

Through the comms, you heard Keith saying he was going to get to Shiro while the rest of you should fight Lotor's team.

"Sure," you replied, before shutting off the comms. You were going to join the fight once you got one thing out of the way.

In the middle of the fight, nobody would notice you activating the cloaking device and leaving for a moment. You pushed the button and locked Red onto Shiro's pod, before getting up to speak to Xyra.

"Xyra, once we're directly over them, I'll drop you off. Since Lotor and Shiro are both in the front, they won't notice you entering in the back. Alright?"

She put her lips into a line, seemingly thinking about the orders. "What about Shiro?"

"Just try to stay away from him for now. All you need to focus on is that we don't lose Lotor. How to do that is up to you, I trust you with this."

She nodded firmly, before you ran back to your seat. You were now only a few meters away from the pod; luckily your vanishing did go unnoticed for now.

You pushed forward, gaining speed and keeping up with Shiro. You had to get close enough so that Xyra could make a safe jump.

"Red, we got this," you muttered under your breath. You felt that you were getting dangerously close, who knew if Shiro suddenly decided to change his course and crash into you.

"I won't let you get damaged, trust me," you said, slightly pushing backwards so that your speed would match the pod. Red calmed down and you were almost in position.

The Black Lion was nearby, but you did your best not to let yourself get distracted by this. Keith wouldn't notice you like this, especially when your cloaked lion covered Xyra from above.

Only a few meters lower.
"Only a little more... now!"

You immediately opened a latch under Red and Xyra lunged forward, dropping onto the pod.

Then, you pulled on the handles, gaining height to distance yourself from Shiro. When you turned to the pod again, you saw her holding onto the hull, using a laser to cut a hole right where the door to the backside was.

That way, she could enter without the pilot being noticed of any major ship damage.

"Nice," you cheered, before opening up a channel to her. "Good job, I'll get back to the fight and you handle the rest. Good luck."

You didn't receive a response, only two beeping sound sent from her device, which was a smart decision.

If the microphones in the room for pilot-to-passenger-communication was activated, she would've given away her position by talking.
