Secrets

What to do?

I see through my scope as Lotor makes a motion for his generals to keep fighting the paladins while he comes for me. He starts running up the hill at me. I jump up and quickly form my sniper into a hand held gun aka a pistol. He reaches the top and looks at me with cold blue eyes. He lifts his sword and points it at me. "What's an assassin like you doing on team Voltron?" I lift my gun up to an opposing defense. "That's for me to know and for you to leave alone." He lowers his sword and squints at me, "Maybe you and I could team up. I don't rule like my father. I want to rule with respect not fear." My defense wavers for a moment before I tense up again. "Why would I trust you?" He smirks. "Cause by guessing you've killed way more people than me and your team doesn't know your abilities or I would be died by now." I lower my gun and stare at him.

I hate being an assassin and what's worse is that I knew that on earth it was easy to tell if someone was an assassin but only if you were an assassin yourself. What I didn't know was that everywhere in the universe followed that rule. Now every assassin I meet is going to know who I am. I need to act more dumb. "You don't have to give me an answer now. Cause by the looks of it that little guy down there in the Red is heading up here right now to see if your okay. I don't think it's wise to say with them. You might tarnish them." With that he turns around and orders his generals away with him. Keith reaches the top of the hill out of breath. "I guess we need to work out more, huh mullet?" He looks at me with a glare then straightens up. "He didn't harm you in anyway, did he?" Smiling, "Is the drop out worried about my well being?" He walks over to me with a glare. "For once in your life will you stop joking!!" I drop my smile and look at him almost with my assassin eyes when I smile. "Don't worry I'm fine. Thanks for wondering." I turn around and sprint to my lion. I get in it and wait for the others to show up to leave. While waiting I think of Lotor's proposal. I am a monster and murder. Maybe he's right. Maybe I should join him before my team leaves me. I see the others show up and we leave for the castle ship.

I walk into the dinning hall and see Hunk setting plates out for dinner. "Need help." He looks at me and waves for me to help. After helping and feeling useful for once the others come in to eat. It's all the same. Me making jokes and everyone else rolling their eyes. After dinner Shiro decides it's a good idea to sharpen up our fighting skills in the training room. Keith agrees and we all walk down to the training room with our armor on. We are paired up for our training. I'm with Keith and the other three are together. We have to spar with the space robots. Keith is slicing and cutting the bots. I'm staying far back and shooting any bot that gets to close to keith. We're doing good. Well I'm doing good for once and I decide it's time for me to mess it up. I decide to let a bot get to close to keith and he gets over run. They come at me and I can technically beat them all but I let them over run me as well. Shiro comes over to me with a disappointing expression. "Lance you were doing so well but then.... You should be more like Keith." I wish I could be more like Keith. You know not a killer. I laugh it off and nod my head in sorry. "You need to take this more seriously. Lotor could have killed you today if not for Keith running up that hill to see if you were fine." At that my smile falters but stays strong. "I know. I know. I'll stay after and practice a little bit more, okay?" Shiro nods in approval and Pidge, Hunk and Allura start. I sit down on the bench and watch the others fight.

Keith sits next to me. "Lance, can I ask you something?" I look at him. "Um...sure?" He looks back at Shiro. "What's your drive to fight in this war?" I look at him and make up a lie. "So all the pretty babes will love me." He looks at me with a 'really' face. "Lance. I know that's not true." I look at my feet and lie once more. "So then my family at home will stay safe." My family is died and they deserve it so they don't kill others. He nods. "Lance. I don't have a family so I don't know what it's like to be wanted by a team. I finally got this with this team. You guys are my family and families tell each other things like what I'm about to ask you. What did Lotor say to you today? You've been shaken up since you got back." I sigh and think of a good lie but before I can say anything Keith goes on. "And don't lie cause he said something about assassins. I heard that much." I make up something so fast. "He said we should watch out. Zarkon had woken up and has sent assassins to kill us and they are in our ranks." God Lance that was a terrible lie. Keith looks at me shocked. "Alright guys go to bed cause we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Shiro then looks at me as if reminding me to stay later.

Keith gets up and leaves in deep thought. Probably processing what I just said. After everyone leaves the room I take my bayard out. "Lock all doors and start training sequence level 105."
