Whats to Come? [Chapt. 1]

"Sir! Sir we need you to back up, please!" The nurse shouted at the brunette, pushing him back from the gurney. Lance stared at the beaten and battered body of his boyfriend, blood oozing from his head and stomach.

"He's been impaled and hit his head hard, probability of optical nerve damage is low, probability of brain damage is high!" The nurse shouted before she backed up, grabbing Lance and hauling him back. "Hes going into cardiac arrest, get then defibrillator on!" Another nurse shouted, getting the male into an emergency room.

"What happened?" The nurse asked Lance and he glanced down at her, "I...I..." Lance spoke softly, wanting to be there for Keith. "What's going to happen to him?" Lance asked the nurse.

The nurse sighed softly, "Are you alright?" She asked when Lance's eyes seemed to glaze over. He suddenly collapsed and she grabbed hold of him, shouting for help. "Allura! What happened?" A orange haired doctor and another nurse jogged over.

"He suddenly collapsed, he might have a concussion!" Allura called for a gurney, the doctor helping her set Lance on top. "Doctor Coran-" she was cut off when another nurse jogged over. "I'll take the patient to an emergency room." She pulled the gurney away, moving quickly down the call.

"Take a finger print of each patient and check the data base." The doctor commanded, messing with his mustache before swinging around and hurrying to Keith's room, Allura going to catch up with the nurse that had Lance.

"The first patients name is Keith Kogan, he was born in Texas and is an orphan. His father was American decent and his mother is Korean decent." Allura read out from the screen. "Hmm. 'Was' and 'is'?" Coran questions.

"Ah, yeah. His father passed away and Keith's mother is...MIA to say the least." Allura spoke softly and the doctor frowned, raising an eye brow. "It really says that in his file?" Coran asked and Allura shook her head. "My friend is actually sort of his guardian, I called him."

"So, the other patient is Lance," Allura started, "large family, he's Keith's boyfriend. My friend said that Keith was on his way to pick him up for a date," Allura spoke softly. "How are they?" Allura asked, turning her chair to Coran. She gestured to the screen, "I informed Lance's family but most of them live in New Mexico, so it'll take them a couple of days to get here."

"Lance is stabilized, he does have a concussion and from broken ribs, I guess the adrenaline rush and shock kept him going for how long he did. Keith...he isn't well. Fractured skull, many broken ribs. When the car crashed into them a piece of metal...Keith was impaled on the side." The doctor spoke softly and Allura glanced at her hands. This was why she became a doctor, to save others and bring peace to their families with the good news.

"We're putting Keith in a medically induced coma to keep his vitals calmer. He'll have a bit more trouble walking, stiffer joints." Dr. Coran spoke, moving away from the desk. "Don't worry Allura, we're the best hospital in Texas, they will be fine." He smiled and Allura nodded slowly. She had heard of Keith, of all of them through Shiro, to think she would meet them like this?

"Allura!" The jumped at the sound of her name and quickly rushed over to the door. "S-sir you must sign in," a nurse started before Allura waved her off. Shiro rushed forwards, hugging her tightly. Allura sighed softly, closing her eyes tightly. "To think I would meet your family like this." She whispered.

Shiro leaned back, "how are they?" He asked before hearing foot steps and he glanced over his shoulder to see Pidge and Hunk. "Yeah, how are they?" Hunk asked, his eyes wide. "Lance is stabilized, just a few broken ribs and concussion." Allura stated and Hunk nodded slowly. "And Keith?" Shiro asked and Allura rubbed her arms.

"He took the hit mostly, a witness found Keith curled around Lance, he had tried to protect him and it worked. Keith has a fractured skull, internal bleeding and broken ribs. He seemed that he hit his head and back the hardest, he'll have a bit of trouble walking when he wakes up." Allura said softly.

"Wakes up?" Pidge asked and Allura nodded slowly, "the doctors is putting him into a medically induced coma. It'll be safer for him like that until he is fully healed." Allura glanced up to see Shiro's expression, her chest tightening as she did so. Out of everyone whom she had to tell bed news for, Shiro looked the most lost, the most...regretful.

"He'll be fine Shiro, everyone is doing the best they can." Allura grabbed his hand, squeezing it gently before turning her attention to Pidge and Hunk. "Lance is in room C27. Keith is still in operation and will be for the next few hours." Allura went to the desk, starting to fill in the paper work. "Shiro, the expensive are being paid by the government due to you fostering him." Allura informed him and Shiro slowly nodded.

"Lets to see Lance." Shiro glanced at Pidge and Hunk who both nodded. Though Shiro had only known Lance in person for three years, he still didn't know him as well as Hunk did. Hunk was clearly stressed, following them and staring at his hands, Hunk didn't know Keith as well as the other did, but he know how much Lance cared for him. He was always Lance's right hand man, helping their relationship through every rift or fight.

Pidge, on the other hand, was like a little sister to Shiro and Keith, having known them for most of her life. Shiro and her older brother Matt were best friends since middle school, which meant Pidge knew Shiro since she was a child. She met Keith when he was 13 and she was 10 and they hit it off well. "Shiro. Hunk. They both will be fine, they've gone through so much, everything will be okay." Pidge said softly and the two nodded as they walked into Lances room, Hunks eyes catching Lances.

"Hey there buddy."
