Remember You | Lance X Fem Reader (Voltron)

Chapter Fourteen

This takes place in season three. 
And guys SEASON FOUR IS IN TWO DAYS WHAT THE HELL

While Lance and Hunk were gone on another recruitment trip to get other races to join our fight against the Galra. I stayed back at the castle with Pidge, Keith, Allura, and Coran.

"Hey, Pidge." I said, walking into the lab, Pidge had been helping me control my powers which were, according to her, quintessence-based. She said if I can learn to control them then it will help my fighting skills, controlling Voltron, and fighting against Haggar, Lotor, and Zarkon when we need to. 

"Find out anything about the quintessence yet?" I rested using the chair she was sitting on for support.

"Nothing yet." She didn't take her eyes off of the screen.

"Any news about Matt?" Pidge had started to look for Matt on her own, we would all still go to help her sometimes, but since none of us knew the technology as well as her, Allura and Coran did, we didn't have a main part in helping her.

"I found some markings on a species neck that were similar to the random ones that we found in Zarkon's ship, they may have something to do with him." She answered, this time she looked at me.

"That's great, Pidge!" I smiled and she nodded quickly, then she looked back at her screen and started working on it again.

Getting bored of watching Pidge put codes into the computer, I went to the main part of the castle by Allura and Coran. Lance and Hunk should be getting back some time soon, Keith had decided to go look for Shiro, he hadn't stopped.

"Is Keith back from looking yet?" I asked Allura.

"Yes, he got back half a vagra ago. He's upset though, I wouldn't advise talking to him." She looked over to her side where the hall too our room was, likely looking over at Keith's room.

"No luck in finding Shiro?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Not today."  She paused,

"On the bright side, Lance and Hunk will be back any moment now." As if on command, Lance and Hunk's lions were seen in the view of the castle and Lance's voice went through his helmet intercom.

"Talking about me again, are we, Princess?" Lance asked joking around.

"Hey Lance. How was the recruitment?" I asked, Lance's voice seemed to raise a bit,

"Hey Y/n, the mission was good. They're ready to join in on our side." 

"That's great. You and Hunk come into the castle." Allura said to both Lance and Hunk.

"Will do, Princess." Hunk answered for both of them, both of the lions headed for the castle.

*

Lance and Hunk had been back for a while now, Keith had come out of his room after looking for Shiro, and Pidge had finished on the computer, all of us were in the main sitting area, it was like a living room in the castle to most of us, really.

"Paladins, with Shiro gone, we need to think about finding a new pilot for the black lion." Allura said, causing all of us to look up at her in a confused way.

"How are we going to do that?" I asked, looking around, all of us were confused, but the look on Keith's face showed that he was getting angry too.

"Allura, you picked us, could you find a new pilot for the black lion?" Hunk asked.

"I could pick you for the pilots because you all showed the traits of the paladins, looking through out the galaxy for a new paladin would take too much time and be far too hard on all of us." She replied.

Somehow, we got onto the topic of Keith being the paladin for the black lion.

"I don't want to be the paladin for the black lion, that's just what Shiro wanted!" Keith yelled, regretting his out burst right after it happened.

"Shiro wanted you to be his successor." Pidge clarified for all of us.

"No way, Keith's not like that." Lance replied, "He's the loner."

"Ya, we all have our thing,

Keith's the loner,
I'm the brains,

Hunk's the nice one,

Lance is the loner-" Lance cut her off

"I'm not the goofball. I'm like the cool ninja sharp-shooter."Lance defender, crossing his arms.

"Are you joking?" Keith gave a small, yet breathless laugh, his arms were crossed over his chest making him mimic Lance's position.

"Besides," Lance went off of the topic, "what's Y/n if we all have our thing she must have hers."

"She does, really she's all of us if you think of it. She has her lonely side like Keith, probably from growing up with him, she's good with tech like me, she has a love for food and is nice like Hunk, she jokes around like Lance, and she's like a leadership role like Shiro." Pidge looked over at me and smiled,

"That's why she can bond with Voltron, she has all of the traits. I smiled at them.

"Keith, if Shiro wanted you to be the new leader of Voltron, you should try shouldn't you." I suggested, Keith didn't answer me, he just walked away leaving all of us to sit in silence. (Any one get the Twenty One Pilots reference?) 

  *  

We had all, including Keith, decided that we would try to see who could potentially pilot the black lion.

First was Coran, then Pidge, then Hunk, then Lance, myself, and Keith.

Lance seemed the most excited to try, he had always been talking about how he didn't feel wanted on the team, this was one of the moments that he could get to prove the others wrong, to she that he could be a leader. 

"Don't beat yourself up over it, Lance." I said while walking to the lion. Lance didn't look up, he just kept walking.

"Lance," I called out after him, going over to him and giving a tight hug, "you're a leader in my eyes." I whispered so only he could hear it.

I walked into the lion, sitting down in the surprisingly comfortable chair, and placing my hands on the steering handles.
To my surprise, the control systems lit up, the only thing was the lion wasn't fully functional. I could feel the lion stand, but I had no control. I wasn't the full paladin.

I quickly pulled my hands off the steering handles and walked to the others.

"So does that mean Y/n's the black lion paladin?" Pidge asked.

"No." I answered, "I could get it to stand and I could do some controls but I didn't have full control or a full bonding feeling like I do in Red.
"Keith, you're the only one left." I looked at him.

He sighed and walked to the lion, turning to look back at me one more time with a pleading look. 
I smiled, telling him to continue into the lion. He did, and what came next was nothing short of the expectations, the lion stood and roared. He had full control.
