Change (voltron)

Chapter 4

"Allura, I need your help with something," the black paladin started. "It's about Lance."

Allura quickly stood up and examined Shiro's face. His usual look of concern looked as if it were replaced by anger.

"What is it? Is -um- he ok?" She managed to ask. "Mostly. I was talking to him this morning and he told me that Keith was giving him a hard time about not opening up to the team. I was wondering if you could do something to keep Keith out of the area Lance's room is in."

The princess gave him a puzzled face. Lance would never single out one of his teammates. Even if it was Keith. Although, Allura was keen to protect Lance so she agreed.

"Well, since Keith is half galra-" she began, "I think we can select that area and put on a setting to keep Galras out."

"Perfect. I'm sure Lance will appreciate that." Shiro sent her a soft smile. "Speaking of Lance, I think I need to go check on her- I mean him."

Dammit Allura

"Ok just don't mention Keith around him. Even the name seams to upset him." Shiro lied. He knew that it wasn't true but he didn't want to take any risks.

Allura nodded before heading off to Lance's room.

"Lance, are you in there?" She asked when she arrived. "It's me. Allura." She stood there for a few moments before she heard footsteps coming towards her from the other side of the door.

The door slid open and the princess slipped inside before Lance closed it and locked it. Leaving it how it was before.

"Hello Lance. How are you holding up?" She asked sincerely. "Pretty good actually. Everyone's been really nice. Pidge, Coran and Hunk talked to me this morning, through the door of course, and even Keith came last night. I haven't really got the chance to talk to Shiro yet though."

"She talked about Keith casually and hasn't even talked to Shiro yet..." Allura thought to herself.

"But if you want me to be completely honest," Lance's eyes moved down to the floor. "I keep getting these flashbacks of when the Galra had me..."

Allura sighed. "Do you want to tell me what happened?"

Lance nodded slowly. The two sat down on the bed and Lance began to speak.

"All this happened when they first captured me." Lance guestured to her own body. "Prince Lotor- he said- he said he wanted me to have his-" tears started streaming down Lance's face.

"Hey, it's ok. Don't worry he's not here now. No one's gonna hurt you." The princess comforted before Lance continued.

"H-he said he w-wanted me to have his children." She managed. "But the witch told him I couldn't because I was a male. So h-he told her to ch-ch-change m-me."

Lances eyes widened when he saw Lotors face dance across his vision. He kept saying the same thing.

"I'll be back for you my love. I just want you to suffer first."

Tears

"So that's exactly what the witch did." Lance started sobbing. "S-she changed me. She made me like this."
