This was wrong...

"Pidge?!"

This was very, very  wrong...

"PIDGE!!!"

How do you feel about a 14 year old girl part of a 10,000 year old intergalactic war against a dominating and corrupt alien species that had taken half of her family and thousands - even millions - of others hostage, and probably killed? Would you say she was unlucky? That the higher-ups were unfair when deciding people's fates? Especially to the Holt's?

Well, it's sad to say that she's accepted she's part of that large percentage of unfortunate souls who had been taken by the Galra.

"KATIE!!!"

It was a recon mission. One that involved stealing and altering information of certain rebel fighters and their leaders, information that some Galra crew had somehow gotten their hands on. Although easier said than done, all the team had to do was sneak on board the ship, steal the right information while planting the fake, then leave undetected.

Of course, fate had other plans...

"Guys," her voice, though quiet, held strength as she spoke into the communicator of her helmet. "I'll be fine," she lied. 

Let's go into the specifics of the mission, shall we?

"Katie! We're coming! Just hold on!" Matt screamed into the comms. 

It was a given that Pidge had to be the one to infiltrate the cruiser, but of course no one wanted her to. She was the smallest and youngest - that's not doubting her incredible abilities with tech and her determination to fight though - but every once in a while that spark of over-protectiveness would ignite in everyone and they couldn't help it. It happened with everyone for everyone because there was always that small chance that they might not return. Yet despite this, they knew she'd have to, and that they'd have to ignore their feelings of dread and worry. She was the tech genius after all, and her small size and stature gave her the ability to hide in the nooks and crannies of the ship while still being able to work practically. She was perfect for the job.

Though it would've been ideal with Green's camouflage, the team decided that it would be easier for Pidge to infiltrate the cruiser using a fighter jet they had come across accidentally. On a previous mission, the team was scoping out a planet due to its weird aura it would give off. The castle had no information on the planet as it had been made new within the 10, 000 years the castle (and Alteans) had been asleep. Long story short, it was a secret Blade of Marmoran base. And they were about to scrap the jet. Pidge being Pidge wanted it and tinkered with it until it was new.

The Lion would've been too large to land on the cruiser anyway.

"Guys, don't." She weakly instructed. The castle, Blue Lion, and Black Lion were under some heavy fire, but managing to defend themselves. Barely. Logically, they needed to get out of there and just leave her for a little bit. It'd be better, and smarter, and if Zarkon got his hands on the lions they'd be fucked. Absolutely fucked to no return.

She trusted that they'd come back. They were a team. A family. They'd been through hell and back and still somehow survived. She even managed to find her brother. And his stupid ass was in space.
