Everything is Gray (Langst)

Chapter 11

Pidge Pov

"Ugh, I give up, I can't do this!" Hunk exclaimed from across the room. "We've tried every possible solutions, but every single one just doesn't work together with their necessary adjustments!" He buried his head in his hands, groaning. I adjusted my glasses and sighed heavily, leaning backwards.
"I know, Hunk, I know! But we have to do this! If we can figure this out we can minimize damage to us and the lions. Think of it as an...extra life of sorts. Where's Coran when you need him?"
"Perhaps I could be of some assistance?" And low and behold, the gorgeous man appears. I heard if you utter his name in a time of need, he will appear with all of his glory. I wheezed at my own internal joke.
"Coran! Oh thank Voltron! Look, Pidge and I need some help. We're trying to upgrade the lions healing and defense system, but we're kinda stuck as you can tell. Have any ideas?" Hunk proclaimed, waving his hands rather absentmindedly.
"Yes, I am aware of your situation, Allura filled me in after you left. I was thinking of expanding the lions nano-storage."
"We already thought of that, but we can't risk putting a lion out of commission to do the transaction. Plus, we don't have the necessary tools." I explained, puffing my chest out.
"You think we haven't thought of that already?"
"Well, but we can always land on an planet with a strong enough magnetic atmosphere. We've done it before, have we not? But the tools...the only planet I know of that has the things we need is planet Xelbanal, but Princess Allura and I assumed Zarkon had already taken it over. Xelbanal is very rich in supplies, I can only think that Zarkon knew that too. But, Xelbanal also had one of the strongest armies I had ever known, next to Altea of course." Coran's eyes started to sparkle."That's it! If we can land on that planet long enough, perhaps we can make peace with the inhabitants, that is i if the Galra hadn't taken it over. If worse comes to worse, that we can do infiltrate and take what we need before zooming on out!" Hunk and I glanced at each other before grinning.
"Genius!" We both exclaimed.
Coran looked regather prideful as he stood there.
"But which lion should we work on first?" Coran asked.
"I say the green lion." Hunk voted."Even though the green lion is strong, it relies heavily on its powers. So I thought giving it a system boost couldn't hurt it."
"I see your point." I nodded.
"Oh one more thing, I was wondering of you guys had seen Lance around. I was gonna ask him if he would like to help me clean the cryopods, again."
"Uh, sorry Coran we haven't seen him. I think Shiro knows where he is right now." I offered.
"Alrighty, I'll be off than!"

Coran Pov

I had wondered through the ship to find Shiro when I finally found him.
"Shiro! I was wondering if you know where Lance my boy is?" I asked him, with a large grin upon my face.
"Oh, um, sorry Coran, I think Lance needs sometime alone right now. He's...a little upset right now, I think."
"Oh, is he alright?" My smile slowly faded, as a small frown took its place.
"He just needs sometime alone, ok? Can you make sure everyone else knows not to bothering Lance? Keith already knows."
"Understood, I'll make sure everyone else knows to." And off I went again.

No Pov

Coran made sure everyone knew about Lance. While Lance rested in his room, and from behind closed doors, Lance was awake. Quite awake might I add.

Lance Pov

I laid in bed, just thinking...something I've been doing a lot lately. Something the others probably didn't know I did. I quietly chuckled at my own joke. Lance doesn't think...tch. What a joke.

——-Notes

Hey, sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been working on two other projects and this one just happened to have been the one I was struggling with. I saw all of your comments and support and I was really touched and encouraged by them! I couldn't respond to them as there have been so many and I just couldn't keep up. Anyway! This chapter seems to be all over place but Hunk and Pidge's project is going to be very important in the future, remember that. Yep! No art today because I've been having some trouble with IPad and I hope to see you soon!

Tata~!
