Green is Always the Best

Indie RP blog for Pidge Gunderson from VLD | Follows back from badgersrphub

[chartechreuse]

HOLIDAY BREAK

December 17th- December 30th(?)

Pidge’s blog here is going on break earlier than my other blogs (just by a few days). I really only created Pidge for a couple of friends (muah~~ love you two~) so most of my motivation for her is solely for them. That’s not to say I won’t write with other people but just know that activity will forever be slow on this particular blog of mine because I have little muse. (Most of the reasons are just because of fandom drama, past bad experiences, and a lot of distaste for the way the show was handled after the second season.)

I’m not making the 30th a hard return. If I’m back then, great. If not  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. As I said, there are lots of other muses I much prefer writing. You can find the list of blogs on my main blog (badgersrphub). If you like crossovers and you want another space girl to adventure with, I have a blog for Ahsoka from le war of the star :P

Anyway, ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

“Are you mad at me?”

   The question was so out of the blue it nearly made Pidge jump. Then again, maybe that was just because she’d had her nose buried in work and didn’t even realize anyone coming into the room. She glowered over her shoulder at Green for not warning her before she turned her attention to Shiro. It took her a moment to try to understand why the question had been asked at all. Sure, he’d taken her away from the downed ship when she’d been this close to getting the information she wanted. But, to be fair, that ship did almost immediately turn into a fiery explosion afterward. So point to Shiro on that one.

   “Oh. Well...” She played with the hem of her sleeve, avoiding eye contact. She could understand that her seclusion with Green might be taken as sulking but that wasn’t what it was. She needed things to keep her mind occupied, else all the worst case scenarios would play out over and over again. Tinkering with Green and Altean tech was definitely a good way to occupy her brain.

   “No. No I’m not mad you. I should probably say thanks, I guess. If you hadn’t called it we would’ve been squished.”

  Relief pushed his shoulders forward as he watched the cameras.  Shiro had given up on being stealthy.  They were stealing an incredibly large mechanical cat, there was no real way to be stealthy about that.  “We can get all the lions and let everyone know you’re alive.”  He’d seen how far they were from Earth, but a bunch of homesick kids wouldn’t make a good team.  He had barely gotten a couple hours of blue sky before leaving again.   “I’m sorry.  I don’t know who got me out and why they didn’t take you.  You’re just as important.”  They could have a much better reunion when they weren’t at risk of potentially dying again.  He took another look at their route, attempting to memorize it to save time.  The sooner they got out the better.  “Alright let’s go.”   He grabbed her hand and took off.  It might’ve been faster just to carry her, but he couldn’t get enough words out to ask if that was okay.  Didn’t know if she was injured thus making it a terrible idea.  “The lions are fast we’ll be out of here in no time.”  

   ‘Everyone’? Who was Shiro talking about? Who was he working with? ... And would they want to lock her up, assume she was willingly working with Zarkon, and then interrogate her for information? She wouldn’t blame them. This war was serious. Countless lives had been taken by Zarkon’s men, and probably Zarkon personally. None of those thoughts were pleasant, and Katie had a lot of other things to worry about.

   She shook her head but didn’t say anything. No one could have gotten her out, not unless they fought their way through the druids. She was pretty sure that was a suicide mission for a single person. A whole bunch of troops, fighters, rebels, whatever, would have been needed. Whoever secured Shiro’s freedom must have been alone or had one other accomplice; that’s the only reason it was pulled off cleanly. She didn’t fault them. In their eyes, Shiro had been the more important human; they’d used their resources wisely.

   She clutched Shiro’s hand tightly, stumbling a little in her effort to keep up with his pace. Physical exercise wasn’t exactly part of her daily schedule lately. She did what she could within her cell but space was limited.

   “Fast enough to get away from the fighters? Do you know how many are on this carrier? It’s a lot. They haven’t all been mobilized yet but I bet they will once they see the red lion out there. They’ll tear us apart.”

| “No? What would you call it then?” He won’t push the matter any farther. Pidge knows she’s not supposed to do it and Shiro isn’t her authority figure. He’s merely there to help when needed and make sure the team stays safe. It’s not surprising to see the crew come out with a few bumps and scrapes with their current endeavors. They’re lucky that’s all they’re getting in a raging war. 

“Do you mind if I sit with you?” He’s already easing down to sit beside Pidge before the question is fully out. “We haven’t really had a good chance to sit down and have a talk since all this has happened, have we? I’m here if you need to talk.” 

   “Nothing,” she grumbled, very obviously caught in a lie but continuing anyway. She slumped down against the couch as if that would hide her from sight. Shiro was such a dad sometimes; he probably didn’t even realize he was doing it. Pidge and Lance kept the joke to themselves but wow did Shiro prove it unwittingly.

   Pidge groaned dramatically and bumped her head back against the couch. “No you’re staying to make sure I don’t mess with it anymore,” she accused. The little upturn to her lips showed she wasn’t entirely upset.

  “I hope you know you’re being scolded.”  Both he and Black weren’t a big fan of the plan.  But Katie had a point.  He couldn’t pull any serious maneuvers with a bunch of unsecured passengers.  Shiro had to keep a close eye on the dashboard to ensure they weren’t stressing anyone out.  The much larger lion took a swipe at Green to show her displeasure.  He was sure there would be a lecture given when they were safe.   “I have the utmost faith in you…but you’re not Hunk in Yellow.  You can’t take a straight hit.”  He pushed their speed closer to uncomfortable, cringing at the various noises that meant he’d probably just sent a lot of people to the floor.  “I’ll drop them off and we can take out any stragglers.”  He’d tried flying backwards once to keep the mouth cannon facing their enemies, but Black had been adamant that it was a stupid idea and turned them around.  “You do anything stupid, I’m telling your mother.”  They were close, he could see the approaching castle, but he wouldn’t believe they were in the clear until everyone except him was off.

   “What was that? We’re being praised for our ingenuity and bravery? Awesome.” Pidge grinned as Green deftly ducked away from Black’s paw. This mission could have turned have turned in to an utter catastrophe likes things usually did for them but it was going smoothly thus far. 

   She sobered a little because, yes, Shiro had a point. Green was durable -- as durable as a giant mechanical space ship-lion could be -- but Yellow was definitely the toughest of the bunch. Green and Blue were the easiest to take down, especially Green. It was why Pidge had spent all the time and effort to integrate the cloaking technology.

   “It’s okay,” she assured, the joking tone gone. “I’m the one with the big brain, remember?” She knew Shiro was only fretting because he was worried. She’d learned to see it as people caring about her, not people putting her down or discounting her abilities. It taken her a little while to get into that mindset and sometimes she had to remind herself that the paladins weren’t like the garrison. She would only be lifted up with them. Even if they did sometimes bicker.

   Green’s scanners flashed red and lion and paladin turned as one. She muttered a curse under her breath, staring down six incoming fighters. It just couldn’t be easy for a change, could it?

   “Six incoming from behind,” she reported. “Go,” and she sat up a little straighter with a cocky grin. “We can handle this. Maybe we’ll save a couple for you if you want to double back.”

  “Holt plans either end in success or disaster.  Remind me to tell you about that time your brother convinced me to go on a midnight joy ride on a plane that hadn’t been fixed yet.”  They just hadn’t known that at the time and Shiro wasn’t going to admit it had been his idea.   He circled the lion back to her.  Pacing beside and ready to haul ass if needed.  The concerned voices behind him didn’t approve of the move, but he had faith in himself.  Black could be fast when she wanted to be and she had enough mass to withstand a decent hit and keep going.  “Cloak yourself before those show up.”

   Green rumbled in the back of Pidge’s mind and she agreed with her lion: no cloaking. They had to be the distraction and the target so that Black could safely carry the refugees. It wasn’t much farther to the castle. Hopefully no reinforcement would show up before the lions were docked and the castle was able to get away through a wormhole. 

   “No can do,” Pidge shrugged with a smirk as Green’s head bumped against Black’s shoulder. If Green had more space, the jobs would be reversed, but it was what it was and Pidge was committed to her guard role. “We’ve got this. Just a little bit farther and we’re in the clear. Trust us.”

  “That’s what Keith is for.  I can’t get to the black lion until they’re all together.  Which means we need you too.”  He was careful despite shaking hands to take the shackles and collar off.  Gave a kick to the guard for good measure.  Shiro grabbed her shoulders without thinking, gripping as hard as he dared without hurting her.   “I am not fucking leaving you here.  Either we’re leaving here together or we’re staying here together.”  The thought terrified him and he could feel energy waning.  Hand burnt purple despite his not activating it.  Being in the ship must’ve put him in close enough range to the druids to function as a source of quintessence for them.  It couldn’t send searing pain up arm, but he didn’t want to stick around to find out if they’d set up any sort of safe guards against rebellion for her.   His vision was blurry, mostly with tears.  “Now open the goddamn doors and get us a clear path.  We can take the red lion out, it’s supposed to be fast and we already have a pilot.”  Ideally the barrier would be dealt with by the time they got there.  They could fly Katie over to where ever the green lion was and by the next day they’d have voltron.  Not that things ever went according to plan, but Shiro could hope.  “You’re the only one we still need.  You’re the single missing piece.”

   Keith? The name was vaguely familiar, but Katie was much too stressed to bother placing it with a face. All she could assume was that it was the person in red that Shiro had been with. Shiro was throwing a lot of information at her and she had enough experience to know that she’d probably forget most of it by the time things calmed down; the human brain was funny like that. She couldn’t say by the time she was safe because safe wasn’t an option anymore; it hadn’t been since she’d left with her father and Shiro for the Kerberos mission.

   Everything was a warped mix of confusion, fear, and pain. She couldn’t stop the way she flinched and squeezed her eyes shut when Shiro moved for her restraints. She hadn’t experienced a gentle touch in a long time, and that apparently wasn’t going to change now. The shackles came off without protest, prompting Katie’s eyes open, but the collar refused to be forced apart. It was doable in theory but not without hurting Katie further and she couldn’t take anymore. She pushed Shiro’s hands away when the shocks became too much. Given enough time and the right equipment she could probably trick the lock into releasing; right now, she had neither.

   She looked into Shiro’s eyes, hoping to spot some kind of clue that would tell her whether this was a trick or not. She wouldn’t put it past the druids to do something like an elaborate hallucination to test her loyalty; she was sure they were fully capable of such a thing. But, really, what did she have to lose?

   “O-okay...” Carefully, she stood, ignoring and suppressing all the strange things Shiro had said. That was a lot of weight to put on her shoulders and she didn’t have the emotional capacity to process it now. All she wanted was to go home, see her mom and brother and dog again, and cross her fingers that Zarkon never came near Earth.

   Rubbing tears from her eyes, she set to work. The camera monitors showed proof of her efforts: doors opening and closing and locking into place, leaving a clear path back to the red lion. It was a bit windy but Katie didn’t have much choice with all the attention Shiro had drawn to himself on his way to her. What was important was it would get them where they needed to go.

   “Okay, it’s--” Not safe. Never safe. “We can go.”

   An AU in which Katie, praised as a genius and the garrison’s youngest active member, went on the mission in her brother’s place. The team is missing the Green Lion’s pilot & must find her and pull her out of a Galran prison if there is to be any hope of forming Voltron. Instead of fighting in the arena, she serves as an inventor and hacker, forcing planets to bend to the will of Zarkon.
