the White Lion (Voltron x reader) •^•

chapter 5

Third Person P.O.V

Their eyes all widened slightly at their leader's grim statement as the wormhole closed behind them. Pidge pressed forward on the handles controlling her lion, speeding it up and landing quickly. The Green Lion's jaws opened and they all rushed out, breaking into a steady jog and heading straight to the infirmary. Shiro quickly placed the unconscious figure into a healing pod, the capsule sealing them inside and beginning the process of bringing the battered lifeform back to good health.

Shiro let out a sigh, turning back to his team, "Now we just have to wait and see."

Allura and Coran walked in a moment later, Coran twisting his mustache per usual.

"Good job paladins! The escape pod containing the prisoners is entering our hanger safely as we speak," Coran said joyfully.

Allura nodded, "Yes, you all did wonderful," she noticed the black and purple suited figure in a healing pod, noticing the Galra insignia on their helmet, "Who is that? They do not look like a prisoner," she said skeptically.

"Allura does have a point," Pidge stated, turning to Shiro, Lance, and Keith, "you never told us who they are."

Hunk seemed to realize as well, turning to the black, red, and blue paladins quickly, "Wait, you said you don't know who they are. Does that mean they could totally be a Galra waiting to burst out of this healing pod any second and kill us all?!" he exclaimed, totally paranoid.

"We found them in some arena of sorts, fighting against a massive Galra. They were in a compromised situation so we stepped in," Keith retaliated.

Shiro nodded, "They were in danger and hurt. We couldn't leave them."

"Besides~" Lance began flirtatiously, "I help all damsels in distress."

The paladins, Allura, and Coran all sweatdropped besides Lance.

"Lance, we don't even know their gender..." Keith said judgmentally, his facial expression reflecting 'what even'.

"Y-yeah, well, you don't even know your gender!" Lance argued, slightly flustered.

"I'm a boy," Keith responded, looking at Lance with shock.

Pidge restrained her laughter, letting out a few muffled snickers, and Shiro facepalmed while Hunk watched them in confusion. Allura listened to them, a tick mark appearing while Coran twirled his mustache.

Lance started to bicker again, but Shiro cut him off.

"That's enough you two." Shiro interrupted, turning to Allura, "The point is, we don't know who they," he gestured to the figure in the healing pod. "are. We're hoping to figure that out when they wake up."

"If they wake up," Coran corrected, still cheerful as he checked their vitals on the holographic screen, "they are in very bad condition."

Allura sighed, "Very well. We'll wait for them to wake up. For now we have the prisoners to deal with."

They all nodded and followed Allura, heading for the escape pod containing the prisoners.

~A Few Days Later...~

Lance's P.O.V

We all stood in the infirmary, watching the unmoving and mysterious figure in the pod. Keith stepped forward.

"Oh, c'mon, it's been days! Can't we just take them out of the healing pod already?" he exclaimed, raising a hand to stop the healing process. Allura quickly grabbed his wrist, stopping him from clicking the holographic controls.
