Chapter Text
“Keith, would you like to explain why three of my students are not in their dorms?” Y/N asked rubbing her eyes tiredly
“Sorry, Y/N, they just showed up when I was saving Shiro” Keith said as he helped support the mostly unconscious man. He and Lance dragged Shiro’s limp figure onto the lonely desert hut.
“Shiro? The pilot from the Kerberos mission?” asked Y/N
“Yes, don’t ask us how he is alive and here, all we know is he crashed an alien vessel near the Garrison” Keith answered as he and Lance deposited Shiro onto the couch.
“Which brings us back to why my students are here.” Y/N said as she turned, hands on her hips, to look at the trio “Would any of you like to explain?”
With that inquiry, Pidge, Hunk, and Lance all began to speak at once.
“Stop,” Y/N said, raising her hand “Hunk, you go first.”
“Why does Hunk get to go first?” Lance whined
“Ssh, now, Hunk, what happened?” Y/N said patiently
“Well, this all started when Lance wanted to sneak out of the Garrison-“ Hunk began
“That is sooooo not what happened” Lance interjected
“Lance, you are not allowed to interrupt. This is why Hunk went first. Please continue.” Y/N said
“Right, so we went to the dorm to get Pidge, but he was already sneaking out!”
“Hey!” Pidge cried
“So we followed him to the roof,” Hunk continued without hesitation “and he had this really cool setup and he said he was listening to ‘alien radio chatter’. Then the alarms started going off and that ship crashed. Pidge and Lance decided we needed to get closer and I couldn’t let them go alone so I went with them and then we were spying on the troops when Keith made explosions and we went inside and there was Shiro. After that we went through this crazy chase and Keith almost killed us by driving off a cliff and then we arrived here and then you showed up and I started telling this story and I think that covers it, please don’t be mad with us.” Hunk finished hurriedly.
“Pidge, Lance, does this sound about right to you two” Y/N turned and asked in a firm voice
“Yes, ma’am” they answered in unison
“Alright, then. Now, we need to go back to the Garrison before you three get into even more trouble than you are already in.” Y/N said
“We can’t go back! Shiro isn’t even awake yet!!!” Lance exclaimed ”And we still haven’t figured out what ‘Voltron’ is and why it is so important and-“
“What Lance means is, we would very much like to make sure Shiro is alright before we go back if that is okay with you, Miss L/N. If not though we are very much okay with getting back as soon as possible and we plan on never doing anything like this again.” Hunk interjected.
Y/N looked at the three of them. Lance’s excited face, Hunk’s nervous one, and Pidge. Pidge’s eyes were unfocused, but full of hope and thought. As if a new door had been unlocked and was just waiting to be opened.
“Fine” Y/N sighed. “We’ll wait until Shiro wakes up, but as soon as we find out what happened we are heading back. No complaints.”
“All right.” Lance said, fist pumping the air.
“Don’t make me regret this, McClain” Y/N said tiredly.
