Shiro's progress was slow, but it was progress; thankfully the area was flat allowing him to half-limp half-fly his way to Pidge's beacon. Please let her be okay! He prayed to anyone who would listen, She has to be okay! Shiro grunted after a particularly hard landing jarred his new injuries; to be fair, he had hastily looked himself over, and just as fast, wrapped a roll of bandages around his bleeding torso and over what appeared to be a burn on his right leg, before he ran out of his lion to get Pidge. Slightly passing the half-way point to the Green Lion was when he heard it-

"Lance stay with me!"

Keith's voice froze Shiro to his core while fear clawed its way into him, Keith's voice had started off clear before growing distant, Shiro guessed that Keith had removed his helmet at that point, but he had to try anyways.

"Keith what's going on? What happened to Lance? Keith!" Shiro growled out of frustration as he forced his body onwards again, he knew that Keith wouldn't bother answering him, too engrossed on the situation at hand, even if he had heard him. His progress speed had drastically increased as anger fueled his movements, he needed to get to Pidge, if she could find a way to contact the Castle they could all meet up, and Lance could get into a healing pod...again. As he reached the three-quarters point, he tried his coms again,

"Pidge can you hear me? Hello? Pidge?" the static on the other end did nothing to improve his mood, but he refused to fear too much for her though, he knew his coms had to be damaged as Keith had heard something from Lance before reaching him while Shiro had heard nothing. The impact zone around the Green Lion didn't look that bad to be honest, but he knew looks could be deceiving, he was proven correct as the stomach door creaked open slowly from its awkward position having landed on top of its front right leg forcing the corner of the shield to be wedged into the ground. After what felt like hours the door finally open enough for him to get inside only to be stopped by another door, the protective door had a large dent in it and there was no way it would open on its own, Great.Shiro thought as his hand started to glow he jammed it into one side and, grunting from the effort and strain on his body, forced the final door open.

"Pidge!" he called as he raced inside, "Are you okay?" he asked gently removing her helmet. She had a small cut above her eyebrow, but other than what was most likely a bad case of bruises underneath her armor, she appeared to be fine-and unconscious.

"Pidge I need you to wake up." He said as he shook her gently, "I will pour water on you if I have to." His warning worked as a "Don't you freakin dare." was slurred out from the small person in his arms.

"Are you okay? Can you move?" humor immediately replaced with concern as golden eyes slowly started to open.

"That was totally Lance's fault." She mumbled as she started to sit up, rubbing her shoulder as she went. Shiro had to bite back a laugh, helping her stand up which turned out to be a mistake as a strangled "ouch!" was pulled from her lips as she plopped back into her chair holding her left leg. Shiro carefully shifted her armor to look at her leg, finding a relatively small, but deep cut- almost as if glass had pierced her, but upon looking around he found none, and there didn't appear to be any inside of the wound. Can no one escape leg injuries? Shiro thought as he grabbed bandages to tightly wrap the wound, Well, at least hers isn't currently bleeding.
