Love is Weak

Chapter 14 - Apology

Lillian

The next day, Kolivan brought the Delta Unit into the castle. I met them in the bay with the Paladins, Allura, and Coran as an audience. Keith was standing back, not engaging.

When my unit emerged from the pod, I noticed that Regris had accompanied them.

"You got yourself a new right hand, I see," I called to Kolivan.

"Until you accept the position, I needed someone to fill it."

"Wait, you got promoted to general?" Josh asked, deactivating his mask and stepping out of the pod.

I nodded.

"Congrats, Lily!" Kiana said, rushing towards me and pulling me into a hug.

"Thanks, Ki."

When she was done hugging me, I fist-bumped everyone else in my unit.

"So, this is Voltron?" Ella asked, bringing up her screens to probably do some calculations.

"If you think you're going to calculate the outcome of the universe, I've heard it a thousand times," I said. "Slav's on board."

"Slav's here?" Ella asked with a little too much excitement.

I nodded.

"I've gotta go talk to him about space-time folding!" She ran off, and Pidge followed her, chattering about Communications Base Thaldicon and the space fold.

I shook my head.

"Some people never change," Kiana said.

I introduced the remainder of my unit to the rest of Team Voltron.

"It's nice to finally meet you all," Allura said, shaking everyone's hand.

Kolivan turned to me. "We need to go over our mission and update you on what we have discovered in your absence."

I nodded. "We can go to the bridge. I'm assuming we'll need Voltron to carry out the plan."

"Affirmative," Kolivan said.

We began to walk to the bridge. While I paged Ella, the rest of my unit was intrigued by the castle.

"While Voltron, or four of the Voltron Lions, have freed some of these planets," Kolivan waved a hand at the diagram he had up, "We have been partnering with rebel fighters and pieced together the final remains of the central supply chain."

"Wait, Voltron has been starting a coalition?" I asked.

"Of course," Kiana nudged me. "What did you think they were doing?"

I shrugged. "I didn't think they were doing anything, actually."

"And where have you spent all your time, Lillian?" Keith asked angrily. "How would you know what we're doing if you spend all your time in the training deck?"

I gritted my teeth.

"There's a training deck?" Josh asked. "We're gonna need to check it out after this debrief."

I looked at Kolivan, and he continued.

"As I was saying, now that we have the central supply line figured out, we can track the ships, where they're headed and where they're going," Kolivan said.

"We figured out a way to hack into Galra installations and view their logs and security feeds without having to be up close." Kiana grinned.

"Then what's the point of infiltration anymore?" I asked.
