Under the Radar (Lance x Reader) -Spy AU

Chapter 1

(Y/N) sat at her desk going over international missing persons reports when she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She looked up to find her partner, Lance McClain, staring at her with his baby blues as she worked. He was peeking over the cubicle and smiling at her with a goofy look on his face. She frowned. "...what?" she said more annoyed than she intended.

"Nothing. Just admiring the view." Lance flirted. He walked around the cubicle barrier. (Y/N) rolled her eyes. She looked back down at her work. "If you could admire a different view elsewhere that would really make my day." She said in a sweet but threatening voice. Lance put his elbows on top of (Y/N)'s computer monitor. "Oooh! My kitten's got claws! I like your style, Mama." He cooed, growling like a tiger.

(Y/N) ignored him. He's been flirting with her ever since she met him. It's been three years now since (Y/N) and Lance were recruited for the Defense Security Agency in New York City. This was their eighteenth month together as partners, and Lance has pursued her ever since. Not that she hated him or anything, but (Y/N) wished that she and him could just be friends, and not have him see her as one of his conquests.

Before (Y/N) could shoo him away, Shiro, their Captain, walked by. "(L/N). McClain. Conference room." He said pointing forward. (Y/N) glared at Lance. "Now look what you've done." She scowled. Lance smirked and winked at her as they both walked to the conference room.

The two walked into the room to find Shiro and Keith, the lieutenant, talking about something. Shiro leaned on the long conference room table with his back turned toward the two and Keith was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. His head was down and seemed like he was taking in every word that Shiro was telling him.

"What's up, Chief?" Lance said casually. (Y/N) elbowed Lance in the side to prevent him from further disrespecting their superior. Fortunately for Lance, Shiro ignored his quip. He turned around and gave the two an approving nod. "Thanks for coming so promptly. We are just waiting on Hunk and Pidge and then I'll explain what's going on."

At that moment, Pidge walked in with a bunch of random objects. Hunk followed behind her with a messenger bag. Pidge placed her pile on the table in front of them, and Hunk closed the door behind them.

"Sorry we're late." Pidge said as Hunk helped her put the objects down on the table. "We had to redo a gadget because Hunk here doesn't know the difference between sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid!" Hunk shrugged. "Hey, I'm the engineer not the scientist!" He said defensively.

"Anyways, let's begin." Keith said with urgency. (Y/N)'s eyes subconsciously wandered to his stupidly handsome face and began to study his movements. She studied how his brows made a V-shape whenever he was upset or impatient. Or the way his violet eyes sparkled even when he was frustrated. Or how his glossy raven hair sat on his shoulders in the shape of a soft mullet. Ah, Keith Kogane. She had quite the crush on him.

"You two are going undercover." Shiro said as he stood up straight. (Y/N) snapped back to reality when she heard the Captain's voice. He pressed a button on the projector remote, and then eyed (Y/N) and Lance. "Cool." Lance said looking at her with a smirk on his face. "Why?" (Y/N) asked. Shiro pressed a button, moving on to the next slide. "We've received a tip from an anonymous source who said that Roger Bourne, the English billionaire art collector, will be robbed of something of great value."

"What's this thing of great value?" (Y/N) asked thinking about what it could be. Keith shrugged. "We don't know. All we have to go on is a name. Voltron. We aren't sure if it's a painting, a statue, or what." Shiro nodded. "We've traced the phone call back to a phone booth near the west bank of the Seine. We think the caller could be referring to something being stolen at the unveiling of Mr. Bourne's art collection in the Louvre in about a week."
