2. The Paladins

A.N:  We FINALLY got to writing the second chapter, you guys! Hope you don't mind the long wait. We just overloaded ourselves with other work and finally got to writing this again. Enjoy!

                                                                                                                                                                     - Julia

Julia immediately gushed, a big smile widening on her face.

"I'M good with kids!" She assured. "I love kids!"

She turned to Jace, who shrugged casually and said, "Yeah, I'm good with kids. Kids are cool. I'm actually very responsible, belive it or not. I am...just..."

Jace then punctuated his sentence with an "okay" hand symbol and a short, "Mmh."

Shiro chuckled, then added, "Well, they're not actually...children, per say...they're more..teenagers?"

"As long as you end up putting your kids in me I'm fine." Jace winked suggestively. Shiro stepped back. "Kidding, kidding!" He raised his hands. "Kids love me!"

"Alright, I'll trust the both of you, I have a feeling this will turn out fine. I'll trust my instincts." Shiro pressed his forefinger to his chin in thought. "I have some errands to run, and I need someone to take care of these paladins. I can't trust them by themselves."

"Um, you can trust us, sir!" Julia smiled.

"Alright, my situation is dire and I must leave these paladins in your hands, I will return with payment."

"The only payment I need from you," Jace put his finger on the tall man's chest. "Is a nice hard cock in my-"

"OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH FROM THE HORNY TRANS BOY NOW!" Julia cried, grabbing Jace's hand and holding it away from Shiro as she shoved him away into the house and slammed the door in his face. As Jace pressed his face against the glass of the door, his tongue sticking out and waggling childishly, Julia sighed and turned to Shiro, asking, "Okay, where are these, 'paladins', anyways?"

"Oh, they're in-"

A muffled "HOLY NUTSHACK!" emanated from Jace, who immediately ran into the depths of the house, and ran back at top speed, shattering the glass as he flew out the door. As Jace stood there, rubbing his scratch, surprisingly he got only one. "What is that?"

"A Voltron. Or, at least, the Lions that form Voltron." Shiro turned around and pointed. "The most powerful weapons in the universe."

"And I thought your benis would be powerful." Jace whistled, waving to the Lions. Shiro tilted his head away from the boy and cringed. "I'm sure it kills a lot of people!"

"It's pretty!" Julia smiled. "Can it see us?"

"The paladins are in there, I'll call them out."

Shiro turned and strode out into the grassy yard, stopping in front of the massive robots which dwarfed him so that he looked like a mere ant next to them. The man raised his arm and gave a weird symbol, like a cross between a waving finger gun and the 'Live Long And Prosper' thing, up in the Lion's direction. The five lions stood there in the street, looking down at Jace and Julia as they came forward to stand next to Shiro. Jace was grinning and quietly laughing to himself, while Julia stared up at the colossal beasts in childlike awe.

Suddenly, as if on cue, the magnificent Lions bowed their heads to the ground like cows seeking out their daily repas of grass. When their chins hit the ground, their great mouths unhinged, revealing small, bedroom-sized chambers; And in each chamber, was a human figure.

The five figures made their way the short distance from their respective lion's mouth to where Jace, Julia and Shiro stood. As the figures stood in front of them, Julia noticed that they were not adults, as she had first imagined them to be; They were all teenagers, only a few years older than the first two.

"Jace, Julia," Shiro said with an air of fatherly pride as he motioned to the four figures. "I would like to introduce you to the Paladins of Voltron."

After a few minutes of introductions, the two had learned the names of all four paladins; Lance was a tall, lanky boy, armoured in blue, with tanned skin, short, scruffy brown hair and a pointy face that spelled trouble. And gay. Keith, whom both Julia and Jace suspected was secretly gay, was a pale, black-mullet-wearing youth who just frowned and glared at everyone all the time through the visor attached to his red helmet. Pidge was a short, impish girl, clad in green, with curly brown hair and huge wire-framed glasses. Hunk was a large young man with yellow armour and long brown hair held back by an orange headband, who constantly wrung his hands and glanced at everything in sight with an air of uncertainty. He did, however, wave to Julia and Jace, who waved back cheerfully.

"Alright, Paladins." Shiro commanded in a heavy tone. "These two children-"

"I am fourteen." Julia muttered.

"-have agreed to take care of you for a few weeks while I run some...'errands'. You will listen to everything they say, and they will be responsible for you until I return. Understand?"

Understandably, the Paladins were NOT happy.

"What the heck, man?!" Lance screemed. "You don't trust us by ourselves for a few weeks? I'm, like, fifteen! I can take care of myself!"

"Lance is right, just because you're older than us, doesn't mean that you can just boss us around," Keith commented, his thin brow furrowed slightly. "We're a team, and teams stick together."

"And besides," Pidge angrily cried. "Did you forget that we're the PALADINS of VOLTRON?! Whatever 'errands' you have to run can't be too difficult for ALL of us! You could have at least told us that we were flying all the way back to Earth just so you could drop us off in the care of some...KIDS!"

"I AM STILL FOURTEEN." Julia cried again, impatiently.

"I AM STILL HORNY," grinned Jace.

The three furious young people turned to their large comrade, who was staring up at the sky in thought before lowering his gaze and shrugging, "Eh, I got nothing. I'm fine with this."

"Seriously, y'all will be in good care." Jace had a naughty gleam in his eyes. Julia knew he was up to something dangerous and gay. "As long as this strappin fella - " he motioned to Shiro. "Pays me back in a satisfying way."
"Jace," Julia whined. "Stop!"

"I'm kidding for christ's sake?" Jace said. Shiro sighed, relieved. "But trust me, I got enough mountain dew to feed the needy! And I could read my wondrous fanfiction to the bunch of ya -" Jace swooned. "It'll be like having my own children."

"This is not going to go well." Keith buried his face in his hands. "This. Is. Not. Going. To. Go. Well."
