Pidge's eyes snapped open, she was back on the Castle of Lions in her room. Sitting up, from her bed, she noticed that her injuries were healed and the bruise on her stomach was gone.

Weird...Looking up she frowned when she saw her door was opened a slight crack

If Lance even took a peek in my room, I am going to kill him.

She slid off the bed and walked over to the door, opening it all the way. She looked out into the hallway she didn't see anybody pass by.

Wait a minute...how was she here?

The last thing she recalled was Haggar touching her head before everything went black.

Haggar!

Pidge quickly looked around the room expecting Haggar to emerge any minute.

"Pidge?" She jumped when she heard her name called. She quickly turned around prepared for a fight when she saw Keith standing in the doorway.

Dropping her clenched fists she ran into him nearly knocking him over.

"Good. You're finally awake." Keith released her from the hug and backed up. When he saw her confused look he continued. "The others are waiting for you on the bridge."

The others!

Pidge excitedly followed Keith towards the bridge, completely forgetting about Haggar and what she might be up too.

Once hugs were exchanged, everyone made their way to the massive Altean dining hall.

Sitting down she noticed the food was already on the table. Pidge was sitting across from Lance who wouldn't and couldn't be quiet. She stared down at her empty plate trying to figure something out, something was nagging at the back of her mind. She froze when she felt someone looking at her. Timidly she looked over the rims of her glasses to find Lance, who had finally stopped talking; staring at her.

"What?"

"Nothing," Lance said, "merely wondering if you're going to eat that amazing food that Hunk made."

Pidge looked down to find her plate filled with food.

How did that get there?

Shaking her head as if that would help clear it up she responded to Lance.

"Of course I am going to eat it. You idiot." and without another word, she shoved a spoonful of mashed potatoes, at least that is what she believed it was, into her mouth. "Mmmmm! Hunk this is good!" Pidge claimed as she stuffed another spoonful in her mouth.

"Thanks, I do what I can."

Later that night as Pidge laid in her room she thought back to dinner hoping to relive that amazing meal. Something stuck with her like something was off. She shrugged this off whatever it was she could figure it out tomorrow. Right now all she desired to do was curl up and fall asleep.

She was back home, safe and warm, and that's all that mattered.

Right?


With the other Paladins

"Shiro there's one coming up on your six." Keith radioed into his comm as he blasted another drone from his path. Without Pidge, they were incapable to form Voltron, which would be very helpful about now, the Galra had spotted them and had sent their drones after them. Which was helpful in Keith's opinion because of that, they would have less to deal with as they got closer to the ship.

"Paladins, let's move," Shiro called over the coms. Keith blasted another drone before following.

Coming up to the ship Keith followed Hunk as he circled the ship looking for a potential hanger they could open. Once more without Pidge, it was almost impossible to get into any Galra ships without setting off the alarms. Hunk does his best, but nobody is better at hacking than Pidge.

Once they had made it inside the ship, after several feeble attempts, they instantly started making their way to the brig with Shiro in the lead and Lance bringing up the rear, despite the many complaints from Keith.

Keith followed behind Shiro his Sword poised to attack. Hopefully, they had enough time to find Pidge and get out before the Galra located them.

In Pidge's room

Opening her eyes, she observed her room. It was a mess. There were computers all over the place some taken apart some halfway. Her Floofs, that she adopted from the trash planet she was stranded on when the Paladins were separated, were asleep on the computer pile.

Rolling over she decided she was going to get a few extra ticks of sleep.

It was not more than five doboshes before a knock on her door interrupted her sleep.

Groaning she rolled off her bed and groggily walked over to the door.

"Yes?" She said irritably as the door slid open.

She was surprised to see Shiro standing there in his Paladin armor.

"Ready for training?"

"Ummm..." Pidge didn't know what to say she was hoping she would get the day to rest, but apparently not.

"Tell you what," Shiro spoke after a few minutes, "I'll go to the training room with the others and give you 10 doboshes to get ready. How does that sound?"

Pidge nodded her agreement and gently closed the door.


In the Brig with the other Paladins

Nothing.

No prisoners.

No nothing.

Keith came to the end of the corridor one last cell to check. Unlocking the door, he quietly stepped in. Turning on his flashlight he swept the cell with the bright light. He blinked when something reflected the light back into his eyes.

He walked over to the object kneeling as he neared it. As he hovered the light over it his eyes widened in recognition. Without a second thought, his hand promptly went to the button that turned on his comm.

"Guys I think I found something."

A few moments later

Everyone was looking at the one object that brought hope to their eyes, well sorta.

On the ground in front of Keith were Pidge's glasses. They were dirty, and one of the lenses was cracked but besides that, they were perfectly fine.

Lance Picked them up and carefully pocketed them.

"This means she could still be on the ship somewhere. But where?" Hunk said looking hopeful.

Keith turned to Shiro. "You were kept prisoner by the Galra. Do you know where she might be?"

Shiro was looking down at the ground as if he was processing what had just happened.

"Shiro?" Keith again asked hoping to get an answer out of him.

"I may have an idea."
