~ Keith's POV ~

I couldn't believe what was unfolding right in front of eyes!

(Y/N) was fighting Sendak on the roof before she was violently thrown and electrocuted. With urgency in my voice, I called out to her in hope of her survival. However, I did not expect how she responded next.

Her skin turned a deathly purple, eyes glowed a neon yellow, fire erupted from beneath and shook the ground around us. Now I understood what she meant a few days after the questioning.

FLASHBACK

I was sitting on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands, thinking about my previous outburst in the questioning the other day. (Y/N) has been avoiding everybody recently. She won't speak when we are eating or if we pass her in the corridors. I hear her screams at night from the nightmares she has. I rush to her door but she locks it at night now, with no way to override the controls.

The next day, I went to her room just before the lights were turned off for the night and knocked.

"(Y/N)? I know you're in there, please open the door." I sighed.

I saw her figure through the blurred glass. The lights switched off.

"Fine, you don't have to come out just please here me out."

I took a deep breath in and began to talk.

"I shouldn't have burst out like that in front of everyone. I was talking to Shiro about you and then I just remembered it as the next memory in line, obviously Allura overheard me. I shouldn't have shouted at you back when you were about to leave, I wasn't aware of your situation and acted selfishly. I just wish you had told me about your mission back then. Even with no flying experience, maybe it would've helped if you had ranted to me and let everything out like I am right now. After you left, all I could think about was myself and I feel awful for that. How was I going to cope without you? What about my lessons to get me into the Garrison? Would I still become a pilot? Not one of those questions that I had were about how you were doing in space which was cruel and selfish. Basically what I'm trying to say right now is that I'm sorry for what I've done, just please talk to the team again."

The lights flickered on as she approached the door. A blurry hand shape pressed against the glass and I returned it with mine, in line with hers. The shadow slid down the door frame to the floor and as did mine. We both leant against the door frame on either side.

"I'm sorry to, Keith." She spoke softly.

My fists clenched in anger as I heard sniffles from behind me. This is not what I wanted, I didn't want her to cry.

"I didn't tell you I was leaving so there was no way you would know when you were angry. Thank you for your apology and I hope you accept mine, however I cannot leave this room anymore. I'm too dangerous. I can't face the group as I lied to them... I think."

"What do you mean I think?"

"My energy was altered in haggar's experiments like I said but I lied in there saying I was 100% human. Those experiments did something to me Keith, they brought out a side of me I never wanted to see. I'm too dangerous."
