u cant just say sofia and co plan a heist and not tell us what happens!!!!
Oh, but they don’t just plan it 8·)
Nadia knows that she should feel relaxed about this because everything is going smoothly, but she can’t.
Just like they discussed, they pretended to be eating breakfast when suddenly Sofía “got a terrible stomachache”. And then she was being accompanied to the infirmary by her dad and them both. And then they “suddenly” had the brilliant idea that what would make Sofía feel better is to have one of the Lion plushies that uncle Lance made for them and they offered to go pick it up. And then Adam told them that he would call for someone to go with them, to what they answered with a “don’t worry, we know this place” and left, to now be on their way to the Hangars.
The problem with this plan, according to Nadia, was that it had too many “and then” for it not to be up to pure luck. So far everyone had reacted and everything had gone just how they planned, but what if it suddenly didn’t? They should’ve prepared more…
As the oldest, she should’ve asked more questions. But Sofía was growing desperate and a desperate Sofía was a reckless one.
To be entirely honest, their whole plan had been 50% improvisation, with Sofía telling them “I’m gonna be sick and you’ll have your chance” more or less ten seconds before grabbing her stomach and starting to cry.
Nadia looked at her brother and then at the Hangar’s entrance. On a normal day, it looked big, but now it was huge.
They made their way to the Black Lion, completely ignoring the others, something unusual since they always greeted all of them, Red and Blue in particular.
The Bayards weren’t hard to find.
In fact, everything at the Hangar was easy to find and even easier to steal. Probably because they thought that no one would want to steal something from Voltron, the Universe being at stake and all, right?
Nadia went to grab the bayard.
“Wait!” Sylvio yelled and startled her.
“Sorry, but is just… they teleport!” What?
“The Bayards! They teleport! We’ve seen Uncle Lance do that, remember?”
“And you just thought of that now?!”
“Hey, it didn’t occur to you either!”
“Don’t fight me! We don’t have time for this!”.
He huffed and Nadia looked at the Black Lion.
Sylvio was right. The Bayards teleported when summoned. And if Keith summoned the Bayard and it responded, all of this would’ve been for nothing.
But they were here now, and honestly, who knew if they would ever have another chance like this.
She looked at her brother.
“We’ll take it, Sylvio. We’re already here, and we won’t have another chance, so we’ll take it and deal with it”. Nadia stated, firm.
Sylvio gulped but nodded at the same time she took the Bayard.
“They’re taking too long” Adam said, sounding worried. “Maybe I should look for them-”
“Ugh” Sofía grabbed her stomach “Daddy, my stomach still hurts”. Under absolutely no circumstances should he –or anyone, for that matter– try to locate Nadia and Sylvio.
The distraction worked, as not even a second later Adam was by her side, his worry being redirected.
“Oh, sweetheart, you’re not feeling even a little bit better?” He asked, while running his hands through her hair.
“We’re here!” Announced Sylvio.
“Yeah, sorry we took so long, but Sylvio couldn’t find his plushie because his room is a mess!”
“But did you get it?” Sofía asked. And she realized just a second too late that she sounded way more serious than she should, to be talking about a fabric Lion “...the plushie?” she added, just to be sure.
Nadia smiled and gave her both the Red and Blue plushies that they picked up on their way back.
“Don’t worry, we got it”.
HA! That’s something we need to think about! The bayards teleport when summoned! Will they be able to keep it hidden? Will it end in terrible disaster?
