Baby Lance for the soul
"Get him to the castle!"
"We need to get him in a pod!"
"Hurry- Lance, stay with me!"
"Oh, God!"
"There's blood everywhere!"
"Paladins, what is going on!?"
"Lance is shot! Bad! He's bleeding- o-oh-"
"Lance, stay awake! Eyes on me- yes, there you go! Eyes on me! Talk to me!"
"What... Happened...?"
"You were shot, and we're headed to the castle, buddy. Everything's going to be okay."
"Oh... Kay..."
"Pidge, run ahead and ready a pod!"
"On it!"
"Hunk, keep our backs!"
"Yes sir!"
"Keith, keep Lance awake as I carry him!"
"Alright!"
"Keith..."
"I'm right here, Lance! Everything's going to be okay. We'll get you in a pod."
"M...Kay..."
"Hey- don't you dare close your eyes! Look at me! Lance, you have to stay awake! You ha...ake...in a...almos...with me!-...ance!"
Keith's voice faded in and out as Lance's consciousness faltered. He tried to stay awake, but... It was just so hard...

"In the pod!" Shiro rushed forward to the pod Pidge had prepared and tugged of Lance's armor, leaving the black suit underneath. "Come on, buddy!" Shiro and Hunk got Lance in the pod and standing, then step back as it closed.
The four paladins panted, eyes on Lance as the pod clicked and whirred, studying its patient before beginning to heal him. Shiro sighed and slumped in relief as the pod chimed. "He'll be okay..." He muttered, carding his fingers through his hair.
Keith leaned against the pod, careful of its controls. "He'll be okay..."
Pidge slumped against Shiro and he wrapped his arms around her. Hunk sat on the floor, rubbing his face with both hands. "Lance'll be fine... He's bounced back before, he'll bounce back now..." Shiro whispered, rubbing Pidge's back.

Keith lay in his bed, running the pad of his thumb against the edge of his blade.
The intercomm clicked and Allura's voice filled his room and the hallways. "Paladins! Lance is missing!"
~
Everyone gathered in the medical bay, Shiro calmly asking Allura what had happened.
"I just- I had seen that the medical bay was no longer using power, so I came to see how Lance was because it was much to early for him to be out from the state he was in, and- look! Lance is wandering about in the castle without clothing!" Keith's eyes widened as Allura held up the black suit.
