Lance POV:
There's one thing no one knows about me. I hate it. It's rare, and people, like my mom, would say it's some sort of gift.
It's really not.
It's bothersome, it hurts, and it's just so... unfair.
I have these things that would be considered mystical, which would be wings. Easier to get straight to the point i guess. Not only do i have snowy white large wings, but i have four of them. I just think the extra two were a birth defect or something. I can use them, they are just slightly shorter than my top two wings.
Why i say they are horrible is because they are rare. And you learn rare is bad. People not only want to cut them off and sell them, but since i'm considered rare everyone wants not only the wings, but the body too. Dead or alive.
And since i don't want to be enslaved and tested on, i have to hide them, I rarely ever fly, and cleaning is such a hassle.
We just saved this planet. They kinda look like these things called gelflings from the reallly old movie the dark crystal. Anyways, Allura wanted us to change out of our armor and into clothing that would make us seem more....casual. I guess its easier for the kids or whatever. I got changed the way i always do, wrap up my wings with an old corset i own then put a t-shirt over it. To make it less obvious i wear my signature jacket. The only big problems i have to look out for is feathers and pain. If any of my feathers were to fall off and somehow fall out of my corset AND shirt AND jacket, which is not likely, i can't let anyone see it. Cause maybe it's just me but finding a feather on the ship would be weird because...well, we don't have birds or animals with feathers on our ship.
I heard the meeting bell go off and i started to head to the main room.
"Lance, glad you made it."-Shiro
Everyone was in the room looking at me weird. I realized it's because they all got here before me. Guess they stayed close by or ran. Keith glared at me and so did allura, and i'm pretty sure she thinks i can't see her doing it, but goddamn...i can. It's so aggravating.
"Alright, so, these aliens known as the (some random name) are very...peculiar. They have many different collections including stones all the way to even dead things. I strongly suggest you keep your opinions to yourself...especially you lance."-allura
wow. thanks for calling me out.
love this.
"So let's head to the surface."-Allura.
We all walked out of the room and started towards the hangers. I quickly took off my jacket and put my torso armor on, being careful not to expose to much of the weird lump where my wings were tucked away. I saw Keith turn around and look at me. When he realized i saw him he turned around quickly and maybe... maybe i saw him blushing? Nah that's impossible.
I got in my lion and automatically blue felt my aura.
"My cub, what's wrong? Are your wings in a lot of pain?"-Blue
Blue knows that i have wings, and she still treats me the same. I wish my real mother did that.
"Kinda, but it's mostly the team. Allura seems to never look at me unless she's glaring. And she called me out today. It's just... does she not understand that most of us are just teens and need some way of coping?"-Lance
"I understand my cub, but i know you are strong and you know what you need. I am your mother here in space, not her."-Blue
"Thank you blue."-lance
By the time we were finished with our conversations we were two thirds of the way there. I turned back on my comms but muted myself cause i just need to see if anybody's giving valuable information.
