Finding Hope ~ [Voltron WA 2018]

Chapter 24: What About Mom?

"Matt, hand me that screwdriver" Pidge demanded. She heard footsteps, then a screwdriver appeared in front of her. "Thanks," She told her brother. "How's it coming?" He questioned getting down on his hands and knees next to her. "It's coming..." She replied.

Over the past two weeks, she had been working on a way for Voltron to hold cloaking longer, and with her brothers help it was updated. Not nearly as much as she wanted it too, but more than before. She still had to have someone operate it, which was usually Matt, and the timing of the cloaking could be held for thirty minutes without engaging in a fight. She stood up grinning at her brother, they both walked out of the Green Loin and into the hangar.

"Pidge..." Matt began "I have something to tell you" she squinted at him. "Yeah?" "Well, I've been thinking." She cut him off as she continued to walk toward the hanger doors "Well that never good" She joked "I'm serious Pidge" he said back. She stopped walking looking at her brother ready to listen "Pidge...I've been thinking" He looked at his feet "Maybe it's time to go home." she looked at him in disbelief "What!? No, I'm staying here!" "Pidge listen" he knelt down to be more on her level. "I don't mean go home, to stay. But I think its time to at least tell mom what going on" He paused "She's probably so lonely" Pidge looked at her brother "Matt, I'm so sorry. I didn't even think about the fact that you haven't seen mom for at least two years!" She hugged him, and he hugged her back. "Your right, Matt. How could I have been so selfish" "Hey." Matt soothed braking the hung and looked into her eyes. "We've just been busy, that's all" "Matt I found you over a month ago, we have had plenty of time!" She continued "And even before I found you I never reached out to her like I said Selfish" They were quiet for a minute then Matt spoke. "You, Katie are a defender of the universe, a pilot of Voltron, mom would and is going to be so proud" she smiled "yeah your right, when do we go?" Pidge questioned, "I was thinking now, I've talked briefly with Shiro about the idea, and he agrees, he also thinks we should prepare earth, you know just in case the Galra show up." "Ok, let's go then!" she said excitedly. "Paladins!" Coran called over the coms, "Keith is on the lines he wants to take, it argent, please hurry" "Or not?"....

Authors Note

One thing I struggle with about the show is that they never talk about Coleen Holt, How she would be feeling that her daughter now despaired without knowing anything. Or the fact the Holt siblings never talked about her, so I put this in.
