I can feel my head start to race. I laugh so I don't cry. "Where do I even begin." I sigh.

"Well in the simulation you acted like you were nothing and that you wanted to die, is that true?"

Yes.

I don't answer, my mouth can't form the words, and I don't know how he will react.

"Lance?" He asks tenderly. He puts his hand on my shoulder and it feels like I'm being shocked.

"I'm a seventh wheel, replaceable, and just hurt the team. What do you think?" I meet his eyes. His eyes were clouded by something dark. "I feel like I'm tearing the team apart." I whisper

"H-how could you say that?" He spits and I flinch. It was the reaction I had feared. All that was left was him to hit me or kick me, whatever pleased him most.

But he didn't, instead I was engulfed by a hug, he was nearly in my lap. "Lance, I want you to know that you are none of those things, no matter how much you think that, you aren't and never will be. This team would have fallen apart without you. You are more important than you realize."

I try to hold my tears back, but the dam broke and my face was flooded with tears. I finally hug him back.

"It's okay, I'm right here Lance." And that was all I needed to hear.

"So what are we going to do today, Allura?" Pidge asks, twirling her hair in her fingers.

"Well, the fear simulators are off limits, and Shiro is kind of in prison, I'm thinking a day off probably, it's been pretty stressful." She laughs, turning to the side, revealing a bruise.

Pidge brushes her finger over it. "Allura did you get this from Shiro?"

Allura pulls Pidges hand away from her face. "N-no it's when Keith pushed me out of the room to save me."

"Look Allura, you can speak up when you're hurt, I know Keith almost getting stabbed by Shiro was pretty intense, but make sure to take care of yourself."

Allura was confused, she didn't understand fully what Pidge meant but, it seemed sincere so she took the advice.

"Oh and also Lance and Keith are totally into each other." Pidge states.

Allura giggles. "Isn't that obvious? They were even into each other before the simulations but I think they've finally realized their feelings for each other."

Pidge sighs. "Totally."

Then, their light hearted conversation was interrupted by Keith and Lance running in. "Guys!" They say in unison.

"Well good morning to you too." Pidge smirks.

Lance was still out of breath, but Keith had recovered quickly. "Pidge we need you to look into something." He says quickly.

"Oh and what would that be?" She laughs.

"The simulators, are they connected?"

She stops laughing abruptly, scratching her head, seeing if it will get rid of the confusion clouding her head. "What do you mean?"
