All eyes were on him and he had an idea why from what Wally explained. He had the same marks an Altean has. These marks were a reminder of his sister figure and he avoided looking at everyone, not to mention his expression was glum and eyes red and puffy from crying before.

"I am sorry Coran." Keith said sorrowful and the male understood. He could hear footsteps approach and he winced at this. Because this wasn't something that he knew how to handle. His anxiousness wasn't helping him. Two pair of arms pulling him into a sudden hug. One that made him stiffen but soon relaxing into the hug and hugging back.

"I-I-I didn't want her to leave. Thi-this isn't fair. Why her? Why has it always have to be the people I am closest with?" He choked out and the hug tighten slightly.

"She gave you a last present. Since you two met she was looking happier and I am sure that this was her last resort in telling you that even after her death she stays close to you. And that she would want to see you happy." Coran stepped aside from the hug and he nodded at this but still not really sure how to deal with her death.

Usually he would end up staying in bed, not talking and this was something that he just couldn't have the heart to do. Allura wouldn't like this but he wasn't sure. They stayed at the Altea and helping out them out to sort this mess. But soon he ended up going home. It was dreading to meet their family and he had not talked much. The sorrow was just too much but he was a bit better now that it had been 2 weeks.

He was busying himself with work. Burying himself in it, until Wally drags him to sleep and to eat something.

Right now, they were at Garrison and everyone seemed to gratulate them for rescuing the planet, but he was upset. Because it wasn't them who in the end rescued but Allura.

"Look we aren't the one who did, but Allura. Without her sacrifice we wouldn't be here nor would be any other reality." Lance said and he was thankful but wanted nothing more then get home.

"Do we have to really stay quarantine, or can't I get home?" He asked tiredly and not wanting to stay here. There was also the fact that he had still his issue with his Asthma. It was something that would still take a few more weeks or month's even to get better. That was what he was something he dreaded.

"You all have to. Just be precautious that you don't end up making other people sick." It was said carefully, and he puffed his cheeks out. They had to stay for a week there and then he finally could get home. Wally had been the entire time there and the others from Voltron as well. But there was something off with Lance. Because of him saying that he wants to help his family on a farm. This wasn't sounding like him not after he heard what his dream had once been.

Shiro and Pidge would stay on Earth, but Keith would help out his mother and there was also Hunk who was would try to make his own restaurant. It was fitting for each of them, but Lance was something else. Something was bugging him but he for now wait.

Each of the Bats family had pulled him into a hug -yes even Damian- and they were also asking about the marks on his face. He subconsioulsy touched them and telling them that these marks were given by Allura. He had no idea what to do with his life. Yes, he liked being a hero, but he just wasn't sure anymore. Maybe he could help out on the Altea's planet? He has after all the marks now, but he wasn't sure.

"A penny for your thoughts?" It was asked, by Bruce in the middle of their meal and he shrugged playing with his food.

"Your thinking about what you want to do now, don't you?" Wally asked pointily once again and he nodded. This past four years had been stressful, and he wasn't really sure anymore. Don't get him wrong being a hero was one of the things that he loved doing but he still had some things to take care of as Paladin of Blue.

"I..Well I have been thinking maybe helping out the Altean's. They will need someone to help them and I wouldn't mind." He shrugged and everyone was silent for a moment.

"Whatever you will choose we will accept your choice." Bruce said and the other's agreed soon as well. Kind of weirded him out that even his brothers agreed the once who were almost never agreeing. Then again, he hadn't seen them in a while and time can change someone.

Everyone ended up deciding to watch a movie, cuddle with each other and just be there. They all know how much this had hit him. Because for him the female had been like a sister and this was why they were all trying their best make him feel better. They were really the best and he couldn't wish for a better family than them.

He hadn't been too often in contact with the others, busy trying to help out with Altea. Other than once a week sometimes even just once a month. He decided to help them, and Wally was helping out too. It was the least he could do. But he was worried now. Something told him that he should visit Lance. It was a dread that he felt. The kind of dread that told him that something wasn't going right. That something was going awfully wrong.

So, with this on his mind he decided to check up on him without anyone knowing. Obviously not without writing a quick message that he was going to Earth.
