Two years, six months, and twenty-seven days.

That's how long it had been since Lance had last spoke to his family. The last time he spoke to his family? Two years, eight months and fourteen days.

So, when Lance heard that they were headed back to Earth to find the plans for a new ship, he was understandably excited. His heart was thumping in his chest as he raced ahead of the others in his lion.

"Lance! Slow down!" Allura instructed. "We have to land and come up with a plan" A grin was spreading across Lance's face as Earth grew larger in front of him. It would only be a few more minutes before he saw his family.

"With all due respect, Princess" Lance said, urging the lion to move faster. "The plans can wait. I haven't seen my family in almost three years" he bit his lip to keep his face from breaking because of his grin. His face ached, but he couldn't seem to care.

Allura groaned. "Alright, you have a few hours to reunite with your families then we need to come up with a plan. You all can spend more time with your families after things in the Galra empire calm down. We need to get there fast to diffuse the situation before more fights begin" Lance nodded vigorously and then realized that she couldn't see him.

"Yes, ma'am" he said, the glee evident in his voice.

"And Lance?" Allura said, her voice softening. "Enjoy yourself" Lance let out a happy laugh and then raced faster to Earth. It was growing close now. 

"Man, I can't wait to see my family" Hunk said, his voice full of love. "I miss them so much" Lance was barely listening. All he could think of the bone crushing hug that his mom was going to him when he walked in the front door. He could already hear the sound of tony feet pounding against the floor as his siblings came running in. They would come and wrap their little arms around Lance's legs, keeping him from moving. But he wouldn't care. When he got there, he wasn't sure he was ever going to leave.

"I can't believe we're finally back" Pidge exclaimed. Lance was far away from the others now. He was approached the ground now. He could almost see his house...

"Hold on" Shiro said suddenly. "What is that!?" Lance reluctantly pulled his lion to a halt. He was only a hundred feet off the ground now, he could see his house sitting on the hill several yards from where he was at.

"What is it?" Lance asked in irritation. All he wanted to do was land and run to them. Exasperation ran through him as the intercom fell silent. "Guys?" Still no reply. "Alright, well, I'm going to go on ahead if no one's going to answer me—"

"Fuck" Pidge gasped, the fear evident in the smallness of her voice. Terror gripped Lance's chest.

"What is it?" he asked, dreading the answer.

"Is- Is that..." Keith's voice trailed off.

"Galra" That one word sent more fear and dread down Lance's spine than anything he thought possible. Without missing a beat Lance turned the controls and dove toward the ground, the lion barely slowing before it reached the ground. Lance knew what it meant if there were Galra here.
