Shidge
Sort of like a Freaky Friday AU
Katie hit her head repeatedly on her table, grumbling under her breath. "Mother. Son. Of. A. Quiznaking. Hoe."
A soft chuckle didn't make Katie stop her self-abuse. "Another one?"
"The third this week!" Katie shouted, throwing herself back in her chair. Shiro laughed. "This isn't funny!" She whined, slumping as she looked up at him with big eyes. "Shiro, stop!"
Shiro couldn't help himself, but he did try to calm down. "Alright, alright. Sorry, Pidge. Okay, so what happened this time?" He knelt beside her and gestured to the smoking machine in front of her.
Katie huffed and picked it up. "I turned it on and pop! It's done for before it even started." She held it out to him. "I even checked wiring, crystals, plates, everything before I turned it on."
The black paladin eyed the machine. "Well... I could go get Hunk. He probably knows what happened. He knows more about this stuff than I would."
Katie nodded. "Yeah." She watched Shiro, heat rushing to her cheeks. She bit her lip and glanced away.
As she wasn't looking, Shiro started curiously poking the device. Katie jumped slightly as he poked something and it clicked. "Maybe flip the switch?" He suggested, raising his fingers to the switch.
"Wait, wait-" She yelped as he flicked the switch up.

Hunk paused as he heard Katie shout and a bright light flashed through the cracks of the door leading to the youngest paladin's lab. Hunk blinked a couple times as he heard a clatter and two loud thumps.
The yellow paladin rushed into the hangar and gasped as he spotted two other paladins on the ground, each laying in awkward, clearly uncomfortable positions. "Oh, quiznak!" Hunk scampered over to the corner and pressed his hand to the panel. "Guys! I need help down in Pidge's lab! Shiro and Pidge are down! Repeat! SHIRO AND PIDGE ARE DOWN!"

Shiro groaned, leaning on the edge of the pod as it opened.
"Pidge! Thank quiznak you're okay!" Lance shouted.
Shiro scrunched his nose and opened his eyes. Katie was hurt? What happened? Why were they in pods?
Lanky arms threw themselves around him and he grunted. "Lance..." Shiro grumbled, but didn't fight it. His mind was too groggy.
However, he did register the soft whoosh of another pod opening.
"Careful, Shiro. Don't fall." Keith murmured, but Keith wasn't by Shiro.
Shiro blinked.
Wow.
Was he really slumping so bad that he had to crane his neck to look over Lance's shoulder? He didn't think he was.
Wait.
Wait a second-
What the-!?
"What the fuck!?" Shiro shouted, shoving Lance away, needing to use an odd amount of force.
"Whoa- Pidge! Chill!" Lance yelped as he stumbled back.
Shiro whipped his head around, looking for Katie. Maybe the second him was just his imagination. "Where- where is she? Where's Pidge?"
