Abuse is the love I feed you ~ lotor x lance ~ altean au

~let's start~

warnings: beatings, angst, suicidal elements, slight lance x lotor (a bit more than last chapter)

(lances pov)

its been about two quintants since lotor has left me in here, food arrives twice a day, not keeping to a scheduled time to throw me off. I believe that we have long since left earths orbit, which Is good, now I can start to test the waters and see where lotor and I stand.

as I am thinking to myself, the cell door opens to reveal the prince.

"been a while, lancy." he says in a semi-seductive voice, well that was just creepy.

"what do you want, lotor?" I ask, already done with whatever the prince is going to ask of me.

"its time to start the experiment! follow me little blue." he replies excitedly, for the first time showing me something other than anger and smugness.

I follow him out the door, my cuffs on and two guards following behind me. I again try to memorize every turn and twist we take, but for some reason my head starts to pound, making my eyes blur slightly and causing me to become disorientated. I can feel lotor look behind his back, giving me a smug grin, like he knows exactly what is happening. has he drugged me? poisoned me? I have no idea what is happening to me.

as we approach a large door, I can sense a large and evil presence, this is what is causing the pain. it almost feels like the lions presence, but overpowering and not friendly at all. the door opens, revealing a small tank filled with a luminescent blue liquid, most probably a type of quintessence.

"this right here, is a tank of luminescence, the type of quintessence that help to run altean technology, for example voltron and what used to be the castle of lions. you will be placed in this liquid, to see how it would react with your personality." he explains, pausing only to grin or to see my shocked reactions.

"but first, we need to rough you up a bit, otherwise the luminescence will just ignore your presence!" he laughs, then proceeds to punch me in the face, leaving a light blue and purple bruise on my cheek. right after one of the guards hits me on the head with the butt of their gun.

after the beating, I am dragged to the top of the tank, and dumped with no care into the liquid. my mind goes blank, and I immediately pass out.

-----------------

I slowly open my eyes to what I believe is a dream, the space around me is devoid of colour, much different to the liquid that I was once in. I try to walk round the space, but I soon realize that I am stuck, and cannot move.

when I next look up, I realize that I have been surrounded by unidentifiable beings. each one being covered by a silent static, but their armour can be seen. each of the beings wear colourless paladin suits.

"shiro? Keith? hunk!? pidge!!?... allura?" I try to call out to them, but they all ignore me and walk away from me. five paladins, each wearing paladin armour, each going to their colourless lions.

they each turn around when they reach their destination. 

"useless"

no...

"nuisance"

stop...

"seventh wheel"

I'm not... 

"your a nobody"

please...

"just give up!"

please!

"why are you here!?" 

stop please!!

"kill yourself!!"

STOP!!! 

.

..

...

as I scream, the paladins each get shot down with beams of blue light, there bodies and lions disappearing into ash blowing in the wind, leaving me alone with my thoughts. 

the echo's of their voices and pained screams fill my mind, overpowering any other thought.

"NOOO!!!" 

I scream...

...

and I never stop...

until I realize I have been pulled out of the liquid, cradled by my sworn enemy.

"its ok lance, your ok." he whispers in a soothing voice.

I look at my reflection in the tank, surprised by the small bundles of white in my hair.

I pass out.
