Love, War, and Untold Origins (Paladin ReaderxLance/Keith)(choose at the end)

Call of the White Lion

 It was finally that time, late at night when the halls have been shut down. And for you it was ready to go. Earlier today, Lance, the kind hearted boy, had invited you to hang out with him at night on the roof. You sneaked by the hall monitors swiftly and carefully. You managed to make it to the stairway that lead up to the roof. Just as you were just about to start going, you felt a familiar hand tap on your shoulder to draw your attention.

"Ah! Lance! I wasn't quite expecting you to, well, be behind me that is" You stated as your attention was drawn to not only him, but the much larger boy who stood by him. Lance found your reaction endearing and laughed.

"Well, coming earlier just means more time that I get to be with you!" He joked before noticing where your attention was currently drawn. "Oh, yeah. I hope that you don't mind that I brought my friends along so that you could meet them. I thought you could use the company."

"How very sweet of you Lance! I'd be happy to meet your friends! Are there more though? I only see one!"

"Ah, well, you see--" Hunk started saying before being cut off by Lance.

"The big guy is Hunk, don't worry about him. He's super friendly, the only thing to fear is his digestive track. My other friend is Pidge, he's probably up on the roof doing his tech-y stuff."

"Ah, I see," You replied as you smiled and nodded. "Well, without further adieu, let's get going!"

Lance opened the door for you then followed behind, leaving Hunk to awkwardly situate himself through the small doorway. As you reached the top, you saw a smaller boy dressed in green and wearing glasses, surrounded by all sorts of expensive and interesting looking technology.

"Ugh. The extra circulator transformer seems to be overheating. I'll need to re-modulate the interior converters to try and keep this thing from frying." The small one muttered to himself in his frustration, not even noticing that anyone else was there.

You walked over to him and briefly scanned his devices. "Hmmm...I think if you inverse your current modulation that you'll be able to fix it a lot quicker."

"Hmmm...let's try that." Pidge typed away furiously at his computer and with a swish of his finger and an aggressive click, his face lit up with glee. "Wow. You were right! You must be really smart. I might have to ask you for help more often."

Lance swiftly came over and stood upright while pointing his index finger. "Yep! She apparently got to level 6 in the single simulators on her first try!"

Pidge finally looked at you with a face of disbelief. "What?!"

It was around this time that Hunk finally arrived. "Yeah. I thought it was crazy too, but apparently it's true."

You scratched the back of your head. "You guys make it sound like a world record or something. There are tons of people out there who've done way better than me on their first try."

Lance put his "Just because it's not the best doesn't mean it's not impressive."

Before you could formulate a response, you were interrupted by a loud crash and a bang. A strong gust of wind blasted everyone back a bit before they looked up to see what had just happened, and they couldn't believe their eyes. The group advanced towards the edge of the rooftop to try to identify the fallen object.

"It's a ship!" Pidge exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Well it certainly isn't one from the Galaxy Garrison, or Earth even for that matter. Look at the body and tech, it's waaayyy different." Hunk added onto the previous statement.

Not even a moment later, the Garrison had sounded their sirens and began warning everyone to stay inside and to NOT leave until any further instruction. As this was being done, multiple vehicles and a portable lab building were being brought out to the scene of the mysterious ship. When they arrived, they prepared everything quite swiftly before pulling out the mysterious passenger of said ship. It was hard to see or hear much as you were so far away, but you could tell that they seemed to be dragging a man screaming about a huge threat to Earth to the portable lab. Not long after they get him in, an explosion sounds off in the distance, causing many of the guards to abandon their posts. In this opening, you saw Keith running swiftly into the lab. You looked around and your new friends and said. "Look, I have no idea what's happening but it looks like that man needs help. We need to go now while we still can." Everyone else nodded in agreement and soon you were tracing Keith's footsteps.
