Written in the Stars

Allura knows everything

"Keith I saw what happened. And as much as you could fool the others you can't fool me." I sigh in defeat and show her my shoulder. Pidge gasps moving a hand over her mouth.
  
"You can't tell anyone!" I say hurriedly. Pidge takes a seat next to me and take the bandage out of my hand.

"Why not." She grabs something else out of the medical kit, a bottle of liquid.
  
"Because, they have their own problems to deal with, and I don't need anyone to look after me or treat me like a baby because of a small paper cut." I hiss in pain when the liquid hits my skin. "Plus I've have worse, the knife only just scratched me."

"Well this small paper cut won't let you to fight or train for the next few weeks." Putting the liquid away she grabs out a white sheet of gauze and places it on top of the cut. "You might need stitches, which I can't do. But if this gets any worse and infected I am telling the team straight away. Got that?" I nod figuring that this was the best bet I was going to get. Once the bandages are firmly strapped around my shoulder I pull on a new shirt holding back the wince of pain from lifting my arm.

"Now come on. We need to figure out what the plan is." Following Pidge out we walk down to the meeting couch. Walking in I see the rest of the team chilling on the couch.  "Hey guys." Pidge says happily putting a smile on her face.

"Hey, Pidge, Keith. So what did you guys just get up to? Nothing naughty I hope." Lance asks wriggling his eyebrows. Pidge just rolls her eyes at him and shakes her head.

"No Lance. i plan on leaving all of that to you." she fires back and Lance's face goes bright red. i on the other hand just look between them confused. Allura walks into the room and everyone snaps to attention. 

"Okay so since our portal spears have been broken we can not portal back to the planet. So we will have to wait until Coran fixes them. Until then everyone be on guard." We all nod, not to worried because we can look after ourselves. Shiro gives me a look cross between worried and anger.

"Keith do you know how much danger you put your self in when you took that blast!" He says angrily and resist rolling my eyes, of course Shiro going to give me his 'big brother' talk.

"Yes, I do." Best is to just go along with the lecture.

"Well don't do it again, you scared us." I scared them? Reading my face Shiro sighs. "Yes Keith, we do care about you." I shake my head smiling.

"We have received a distress call from a near by planet, paladins put on you arm or and meet us at the hanger."

"A distress call? We only just escaped a fight." Hunk whines but stands up anyways.

"Yes i know but the reason the castle decided to teleport us here was because this is the last place that had a distress call." Everyone gets up to leave and I mental curse myself.

"Keith whats the matter?" Pidge and I are the only ones left.  "Well besides the obvious."

"I forgot to wash the blood off my amour." Pidge winces. "And Allura won't let me on the mission without amour," She gives me the look.

"None of us are going to let you go without amour and i'm not going to let you go with that shoulder of yours anyway. Let me deal with this." She gets up and we walk down to the hanger, where everyone is waiting.

"Where is your amour?" Lance pounces and I look to Pidge hoping that she had thought up something good.

"Well you see, Keith and I will be sitting this mission out, I have stomach cramps and Keith does not that feel all to well from that shot he took." Secretly smiling I look up and see Red glaring down at me. not at all happy with the current situation that i'm in.

"Cramps?" Lance asked confused. "I get cramps all the time and that doesn't stop me." Pidge glares at him.

"Well as you have noticed I am a girl, and girls cramps are ten times worse." Shiro, hunk and Coran go red but Lance just looks confused. But before he can embarrass himself any further Shiro steps in.

"That's okay, you two can stay here with Coran and Allura, we can deal with this." I ignore the pulling in my gut, the part of me that really wants to go out there, but from Red's purrs in my head telling my not to I stay quiet.

I know you want to go but there no way I'm letting you go without amour and with that shoulder

Smiling Pidge and i wave good bye to the rest of the team, once their gone Allura turns and narrows her eyes at us.

"Coran why don't you go have another look at the portal spears I want to have a word with these two." Coran nervously walks past us out of the room, whispering a quick 'good luck' before leaving.

"Now I just want you two to know that you can trust me with anything, I can keep a secret." Oh no she's giving us the whole you can trust me speech. Red roars them growls. Glaring at her i watch as Allura smiles having translated what red had said already.

"Follow me to the healing pods." Sighing Pidge and I follow her across the hanger and to the healing pods. "Now I'm not sure if the healing pod will work. they have been down and i was planing on working on them later." Following her to the healing room the was just across the room, Red had a direct rout to it. A pod hisses out of the ground.

"Oh, this is a pretty server case." Pidge states giving me the i told you look.

"You will need to take your top off if you want it to work." Looking at Allura demanding face and Pidge's happy one I pull my shirt off grunting when I lift my arm.  Pidge instantly works on taking off the bandages, and once there gone Allura take an inspection of the wound.

"Um Allura? I would like it if perhaps you didn't tell the others about this little cut." She sighs and gets me to stand up. 

"Fine I won't tell anyone else, my lips are sealed. red has already told me why you don't want the rest to know. But if it gets any worse." I sigh and step inside the pod.

"Why aren't you all that surprised?"

"The mice told me about it before."

"This might not work but it's worth a try." Allura warns before the smoke rises and knocks me out.
