Voltron: Darkest Days

Chapter 9: A Flashback in Green

Vara walked into the dining room with a yawn, ducking her head as she walked through the door.

Jynn was already there, attempting to eat green sludge that Coran, of course, proudly marveled over. Jynn looked at the alien. "Morning Vara." Jynn smiled a fake smile. "Here's your breakfast." She pushed her bowl over to the alien.

"No need to give her yours." Coran told the girl. "I made enough for everyone."

"Nice try." Vara mumbled, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

Carrie followed shortly after Vara sat down at the table, looking bright and energetic.
"Good morning everyone." She grinned.

"Carrie! Breakfast?" Jynn pushed the bowl to the purple alien.

"You don't need to give me yours Jynn, I'll get my own." She grinned kindly, going into the kitchen and grabbing a bowl.
Vara snickered into her spoon at the failed attempt.

Jynn shot her a look.

Suddenly, Matt trudged Past, someone on his back. He stopped by the kitchen. "Where the hell have you all been?"

Vara started coughing into her goo, having chocked on the mouthful she had just swallowed. "Why is there a tiny version of yourself on your back?"

Jynn's head instantly shot up with such speed she felt pain. "Oh my god." She and Coran instantly rushed over to help. Matt placed Pidge on the ground. Jynn began checking vitals. "Where did you find her?" Jynn asked.

"We if you were all awake you would have known that I went out to strengthen me and Green's bond." Matt explained.

"What is that?" Carrie asked curiously.
Vara shrugged her shoulders and stood up from her seat.

"Pidge? Can you hear me?" Coran asked the girl.

"Her heart rate is normal." Jynn commented.

"I think she spoke." Matt told the two.

"When?" Jynn asked, trying to wake Pidge up.

"When I saved her." Matt explained.

"This is Pidge?" Vara asked, crouching near them.

"That's why she looks like me." Matt snapped. Jynn shot him a look and went back to trying to revive the youngest paladin.

Carrie wandered over to peer down at them. "Perhaps Pidge needs water?"

"That's a good idea." Vara said, grabbing a glass and filling it.

Matt grabbed the cup of water, and began splashing some on her face. It was no different from when they were younger and Matt would actually wake Pidge up by throwing a bucket of water on her.

Vara leaned down, placing the back of her hand on Pidge's forehead, before reaching down to gently dig her fingers into the skin at the side of her neck.

Pidge's sleeping form recoiled slightly, a small smile crossing her face.

Vara repeated the action.
Pidge let out a small chuckle and lifted her hand slightly, as if trying to bat Vara's hand away from the ticklish skin of her neck.

Vara deleted the action, digging her other hand into Pidge's side. The paladin let out a small yelp and moved away from the hand, her eyes flickering open slightly.
