"Quick!" You yelled, "We must get him to the Cryopods! He's in critical condition, and I'm afraid that he doesn't have long."
"Alright, let's hurry then." Shiro responded as he gently picked up Lance and loaded his injured body onto the White Lion while she was in her small companion form. The group of them stealthily hurried their way down through the halls, peaking around the corners for any possible enemies. Eventually, they had worked their way to the room that held all of the shiny blue Cryopods in place.
"This is it." You said as your group entered the room.
"The power!" Shiro exclaimed, "Hunk and Coran must not have returned yet, there's no power in here."
"But we have to do something!" You cried out to your leader as your cradled Lance in your arms.
"Let's put him on that table and search out for a first aid kit to stabilize him with." Shiro suggested to you.
"Good idea!" You responded as you helped the White Lion place Lance on the table. Everyone then began to search the room top to bottom for any sort of medical or first aid kit. For awhile, the three weren't having any luck, yet continued to search.
"Have you found anything?" You cried out to Shiro.
"No luck so far. Just keep looking, we'll be sure to help him." Shiro assured you. Luckily for your group, the White Lion gently roared and pawed at a sort of secret opening on the wall. You reached out to touch it and it opened, revealing a quite nice medical kit.
"This is it! Thank you so much girl." You said as you patted the White Lion's head and took the medical supplies.
"With this we should at least be able to stabilize him. Let's get to work." Shiro stated as the two your you began to clean his wounds and wrap them up. You were both very focused on taking care of Lance, and really didn't speak for awhile as the White Lion kept watch outside of the room. What felt like hours had passed by and the two of you were just sitting and waiting for the power to return, and for Lance to awake.
Finally, his eyes fluttered open. He blankly stared at the ceiling for a moment, still clearly in a daze and processing what had happened. "Lance? Can you hear me?"
Lance slowly turned his glossy eyes toward you and tiredly asked. "What happened?"
"You got hit by a bomb and were in critical condition. You've suffered some severe buns to your back but at least your ear drums didn't burst?"
"An explosion?" He looked back at the ceiling, seemingly trying to recall the explosion for himself. He looked back to you and asked, "Are you okay?"
You smiled. "Yes, I'm okay. And everyone else is as well. We brought you here to heal you in one of the cryopods but Hunk and Coran haven't come back with the crystal to power the castle. Luckily, we managed to stabilise you with a first aid kit."
"You did pretty good then. I don't feel a thing." He said as he closed his eyes.
"Lance?!"
He didn't respond.
You put your head on his chest and listened for a heartbeat. Luckily, you were able to find one, but it was slower and weaker than normal. That's when you felt and arm around your shoulders. "You worry too much." You heard Lance whisper. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine thanks to your first aid. Just focus on saving the castle and getting rid of those aliens."
You could feel his hand move up to stroke your head, making you blush. "I'll do whatever I need to," you said as closed your eyes to enjoy the moment.
