Klance(Damnit, ri-ri! Again!?)
Time jump happens kind of(???)
"Shut your quiznak."
"I still doubt you're using that word correctly." Keith sighed and deactivated his bayard. "Now, could you please focus on the simulator?"
Lance huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "Maybe I don't feel like it."
Keith narrowed his eyes in a glare. "I hate you so much sometimes, Lance."
The blue paladin wriggled his brows. "You sure? 'Cause I'm pretty sure you love me. Especially my ass."
Keith's face went bright red and his heart jumped. "Fuck you!"
"Gladly." Lance snorted.
"Damnit!" Keith snapped and stormed out of the training room. So much for volunteering to help train Lance in combat.

Despite being completely exhausted and running on barely an hour of sleep, everyone ran to the main control room in their pajamas.
Alarms blared and the lights in the castle glitched as they brightened.
"What now?" Lance whined as they all barreled into the control room.
Allura and Coran were typing and swiping away. "We don't know!" Allura shouted, brows furrowed. "Something is wrong with the castle! Coran, have you found the source!?"
Coran turned to look over his shoulder, completely disheveled. "The power the thing is generating is coming from the Grenn Lion's hangar!"
"My equipment!" Pidge cried and bolted out of the room. "My lion! My equipment!"
The other paladins rushed after her. Lance was the first to make it in the hangar.
They all raised their arms to block their eyes. "Holy quiznak!" Lance shouted and a ringing echoed off the walls. They covered their ears and shut their eyes until the ringing and the light died down.
"Fuck!" A slightly unfamiliar voice shouted. "Damnit! Aw, hell, I shoulda listened! Damn buttons."
Everyone blinked rapidly and looked up.
Lance wasn't in front of them. A stranger was hunched over a table.
Keith was the first to react. He pulled out his blade. "Who are you and where is Lance?"
The man looked up and blinked. He then groaned with a roll of his head and kicked the wall. "Fuck! Are you fucking serious!? Damnit, what the hell, Pidge!?"
"Why the fuck are you yelling at me!?" Pidge shouted. "I don't even know you!?"
He sighed and carded his fingers through his messy hair. "Not you-you. Future you. I think? Or is it present you and you're the past you? What the-"
Shiro stepped forward and held his hand out in front of Keith. "Will you start by telling us who you are?"
The man blinked, then nodded. "Yeah... Yeah, okay. I'm Lance."
Hunk then screamed excitedly. "You traveled through time!?"
Everyone turned to look at Hunk. He just shrugged. The man who claimed to be Lance grinned. "Yeah! Super cool! Though also totally on accident." He reached up and scratched the back of his neck. "Pidge was telling me that there was this thing she built that she needed help with, but I was tired so I didn't pay much attention when she was explaining."
