He stood there. Completely still, most likely planning his next move. We can't just stand here and let him think, if we want to beat him then we have to act now.

"So," I began, walking around Shiro and the others to a small desk. His back was now turned and I tried my best to distract him while I signaled for Shiro to do something.

"Is there a reason you're with my lion?" I asked.

"I can't answer that?" He stated simply. I sighed and thought of another question.

"Is there anything that you can tell us?" I made sure I didn't sound desperate, if I did then they'd only find me weak.

"I'm working for Sendeck."

"Oh the old 'who do you work for' Q and A 'eh?" Coran asked, completely oblivious to the plan and making the Galra turn around.

Shiro was thankfully fast enough to get back to his previous spot before the Galra noticed that he'd moved. Was this guy even Galra, though?

"Pardon me, but are you even Galra?"

"Some would say I am, some would say I'm not. But my species doesn't st-" Shiro managed to sneak up behind him and wrap his robotic arm around the Galra's neck, squeezing tightly.

At that moment I remembered what Shiro had told me; 'I took him by the neck with my arm'  I stood and stared blankly at the floor. 'And I just - squeezed and eventually it just - popped.'

I suddenly felt sick and regained focus. I looked at Shiro who was still choking the Galra guy and ran over to them. I told Shiro to let go, he paused for a minute before doing so and backed away when he saw the panic in my eyes.

"Pidge- I'm so-" I lifted my hand up slightly, silencing him and apparently the others, then let it flop back down with a sigh. I took the Galra who was still gasping for breath and dragged him out of the room to a cell.

Wouldn't it be lovely? \\Shidge//Where stories live. Discover now
