(Fluff? It's another IDK stories so call it what you will, lil bit of language)

All I could hear was screaming from behind me. I pressed my sword into another Galra and looked over to Hunk who was firing away. The scream didn't belong to anyone from the team, it belong to the child we were trying to rescue. Lance was supposed to be getting them while Shiro covered him. Meanwhile, Pidge and Allura were off in a corner, Allura protecting Pidge as she tried to hack into the system to shut down the bots that we were fighting.

The child screamed again and Lance started mocking it. Back and forth they went screaming at each other while everyone listened. I groaned at how Lance was going about things. He said that he was great with kids, this isn't being great with kids!

"Pidge, how's the hacking going?" Hunk worriedly asked.

There was a 'shut up' from Pidge's end and a small click.

"Did she just shut us off?" Shiro asked.

No one answered him. Everyone sighed and continued to fight. The kid screamed again and Lance screamed back. I was about to yell at Lance but the bottom I was fighting fell over to its side. I sat up and so did Hunk.

We both looked at one another before running over to the cell that held the child. Shiro was slumped over on the wall, exhausted, with Allura and Pidge at the door looking in. We walked up to them and opened our mouths to speak before hearing another scream.

A bright, hot light filled the cell enough to make us all turn. So the kid could set themselves on fire. What taking so long to get them out? Lance was still in there, talking with the child to convince them that they were here to get them out.

The child stared at Lance for a moment, but the second Lance took a step forward the kid lit up. Lance threw his hands up and walked out of the room passed us. He turned around and sat down, leaning on the far wall.

"You alright there, La-?" Pidge was asking.

"The kids not coming out! They can stay there for their whole lives for all I care, I'm done!"

Lance crossed his arms over his chested, buried his head in his knees, and started to grumble to himself. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him. I sat down in front of him and folded my legs underneath myself to get as close as I could to him. I crossed my arms on top of his knees and laid my head down. Lance looked up at me and glared, but it soften when I smiled back.

"I'm sorry, babe, I guess I'm not as good with kids as I thought." Lance whispered.

I lifted my head up to press our foreheads together, "It's alright, Lance, you're a natural born father. When it comes to stuff like this you need a soft, gentle, and calming voice to sooth the child. You need motherly instincts."

I stood up after kissing his nose and made my way inside the cell. What seemed like a little boy was sitting in the corner in a ball. I gave a sad smiled and pushed passed the three blocking the door. I walked into the cell towards the boy and his head snapped up.

"Stay away!" a high pitched voice screamed.

"So you're a girl, huh?" I asked gentally.

The little girl curled up more and pressed her back as far as she could away from me. She had short, black hair and bright, green eyes. Her skin was extremely pale, paler than Shiro's. Her hands were the only exeption, having on dark pink gloves. I stopped moving like she told me to but sat down instead of walking away. We sat there for a moment in silence, only staring at each other.

"I'm Keith. Can you tell me your name?" I asked.

She shook her head while tightening her ball. I nodded and scooted closer.
