Voltron's Executioner

Chapter 15

"Really?" questioned Hunk unable to fully wrap his head around a heart broken Lotor. "Did you two eat ice cream or something?"

"Maybe. Does it matter? He's doing the wrong thing, but thinks he's helping. He knows that they clash."

Hunk nodded "Well, I'm glad he was good to you."

She shrugged "I guess." pidge stopped for a second "Hunk. Do you think Shiro would talk privately with me for a minute?"

"Why wouldn't he? Your like a kid to him."

The brunette gulped "Yeah."

"What happened?"

"I. Do you know about Adam?"

"His fiancé who died?"

"Yeah. Just, something about him."

"Like?"

"I think Shiro should know first."

Hunk as grinning "Is he still alive!"

"No. I just, have more information on how he died. Thought Shiro deserved to know."

"Is that why you wanted Shiro to be the one to know who you were?"

"Kinda. But he would've told Keith, so it's better I told Lance."

Hunk nodded smiling "It definitely explains why he was acting like he was a love sick dog again."

"What?"

"When you, were taken, Lance had a giant crush on you. We were actually talking about how he'd ask you out when we found out."

Pidge was silent. She really shouldn't know that. It would just make it harder to leave Voltron again. But maybe, that was the plan. Make her feel so much she couldn't leave. That would be evil. Far worse than anything Haggard did to her. Her thoughts were disrupted by a sad chuckle from Hunk "Can you imagine what would've happen if you weren't taken."

"I used to think about it all the time. Why?"

"What do you think you'd be doing?"

"Piloting green still. Hacking. Fighting Lotor."

"Pidge, just outside of that. Family? Career?"

She froze. Of course she thought about those. She was a sixteen year old girl full of hormones and who felt abandoned. "Not so much career."

"But still, a family?"

"After I gave up on Voltron, yes."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

She gulped "Can this be our secret?"

"Sure. Are you going to tell me?"

"Maybe later."

It was silent when Hunk smiled at her "Don't worry about it. Why did you tell us about Lance?"

"Haggard wanted him to die. So, I contacted you. As I said. I still support Voltron so letting a paladin die wouldn't do. At first, I tried to get Lotor to take him as another soldier. But, he was in enough trouble because of me though."

A screen formed showing Keith, frowning. "Hunk, we need you at a meeting. Were deciding what to do with, her."

"Pidge." Hunk attempted to correct.

"Whatever."

So, the pair went to the hanger and left the lion. Shay was there waiting, smiling. "They say something happened. Good?"

Hunk nodded as he got off. "Hun, you remember Pidge?"

The brunette got off the lion and made brief eye contact with the Balmorian. By the looks of it not only had Shay not realized she was the Executioner but she also didn't receive the news that the Executioner destroyed her planet. Katie took a breath then smiled "Congratulations on the wedding. I also hear your expecting."

Shay was grinning as Hunk walked over to her and pecked her lips. "Thank you. It's good to know you didn't die."

"Yet."

"What?"

"What."

Hunk sighed "I'll explain later Shay. It's, a lot."

Lance had ran in grinning "Katie! We got the garrison trio back! Finally!"

However, the boy wasn't alone. Veronica was trailing him demanding answers to this pidgeon business. Katie caught her breath looking at the siblings. Last time she was aboard the Atlas, she betrayed them. "Veronica McClain."

The older women frowned and stared "How do you- Lance?"

"I apologize for restraining you and locking you in your chambers."

Veronica was sending her brother a confused look as Shay was doing the same to her husband. "What does that mean."

Katie made eye contact "I'm Lotor's Executioner."
