Lost and Found

Where are you

Lance felt the cold air rush onto his face. He felt strangly refreshed, like waking up from a peaceful dream. He breathed in a deep breath of relief at the nice feeling he was experiencing, but the feeling was short lived as he felt himself tipping to his left. He tried to stop himself from falling, but he was still in his half-alseep state and just couldn't stop the strong unstoppable force called gravity. With his face just inches from the ground, he prepared for impact. But just as he was about to hit the ground, he felt a pair of strong and well built arms grasp onto him.

"Hey buddy, you feeling ok?" a voice from just above gently asked him. Lance looked up in the direction of voice, which he did in fact recognize. It was a bit hard because of the fuzzy feeling he had in his head, but he managed to lift his head up just enough to find the source of the voice, just to make sure it wasn't a dream. "Shiro?" Lance looked up at him. Sure enough, it was Shiro, but was it a dream? Because Lance still felt like he wasn't awake yet."Yeah" Shiro said back, as if he had read Lance's question in the back of his mind. Shiro's face looked mostly releived, but Lance could see that he also looked kind of sad and worried, like something was bugging him, but he was trying to hide it. Lance had only a few questions on his mind.

What happened?

Why was he here?

Where was he?

Where was blue?

Suddenly Lance remembered the painful infiltration mission that they were on in the Galra ship. They hadn't succeeded, which was obvious by the room they were in. They were in the Castle ship, in the room with the healing pods, and that was Lance had just fallen out of. He looked around and saw the rest of the pods, but by the way he was standing, he coulnd't possibly see if anyone was in one or not. He remembered bieng hit by one of the Galran soilder's laser blasters, and Keith, moving in front of him as he fell, shouting his name as he fell painfuly to the ground. Lance's head shot up suddenly.

"Shiro, where's Keith? And... and where's everyone else? Are they ok?" Lance asked with rapid speed, clearly panicking. He stood up fully and grabbed Shiro's broad shoulders. Shiro looked a bit shocked by Lance's sudden energy. "And.....and" Lance was struggling to catch his breath as he tried to ask a million other questions.

"Woah, slow down Lance. Hunk and Pidge are still in thier healing pods right now, and Allura and Coran are in castle ships main control room." Shiro replied while also trying to keep Lance from moving around to much.

"And Keith?" Lance stopped trying to stand on his own and gave a concerned look towards Shiro, hoping to get answers.

Shiro's face suddenly looked almost depressed at the mention of Keith. He helped Lance over to a white couch with blue lights that was in the far corner of the large room.

"Here, you better sit down" Shiro said as Lance sat down on the couch. Lance's headache was starting to fade away and he wasn't very tired anymore, so he could sit up on his own now.

"Why?" Lance was starting to get extremely worried. Shiro looked very serious and tense, which wasn't normal for him. Oh no, Lance thought, something must have happened to Keith, or maybe I'm just overthinking this. Maybe the castle ship is broken, or one of the lions. But then again, Shiro told me to sit down when I asked about him. "What happened. Is Keith Ok?" Lance asked.

"We don't know-" Shiro started, but Lance cut him off. "What, is he hurt? What's wrong?" Lance's body got tense, and he started to raise his voice in panic.

"Lance, calm down. You haven't even let me tell you anything yet." Shiro put his hand on Lance's shoulders and stared directly into his eyes. Shiro knew that Lance secretly cared for his little brother, even though they fought a lot.
