Lance squirmed as they were standing in the Marmora base with the stupid suit on. It was too tight for his liking. Before they had gone Allura had said something about training he thinks his mind was to preoccupied with picking at the scratches on his arm. He got to see Keith though so it was fine.

"Again why to hell do we have to wear these monkey suits?" Lance said looking at his hands and feeling cold metal press lightly into his neck.

"These make it easier for us to connect to you and learn about your attributes. " Kolivan smiled at him but had sadness in his eyes. "It is a mind exercise so be prepared for the worst fear of yours and a great hope as well."

"Shiro you can go first since you know what happens somewhat. But this time it's not Keith's situation." Kolivan said and Shiro headed down a hallway to the left. Everyone else followed Kolivan.

Lance was shaking and quiet. He had been for the past couple weeks but no one seemed to notice. He hadn't eaten in three days, he wondered how long it would take before someone noticed. If they noticed.

Keith was woried with how pale Lance was and how tired he seemed to be... and his smile, it didn't reach his eyes. Everyone went and now Lance's turn. Keith sighed and gave him a hug. Lance hugged back weakly almost as if it was too much to just pick up his arms.

He sighed as they put him down on a table and he drifted off. When he was up he was in his room, at home, on earth. But the house was quiet... the house was quiet. Lance knew what this meant. His dad was home. He waited for it. His dad to come stumbling drunk and yank him into the living room beat him till he was passing out. His mom doing nothing to help, his siblings locked in their room an order by him when this happened the first time.

His youngest brother had seen and he didn't want anymore of them to see it. They didn't need to see it. He shifted when his dad stopped and saw all of them, his friends staring at him and leaving him walking away without a second thought. He cried passing out.

He was in a gala prison cell. Lotor smiled at him from the other side of the door.

"The blue paladin." He smiled. "Well now red isnt it? Let's see you're the goofball right. The one with all the jokes and flirts with anyone who breaths. Why would you want to be with voltron when I can give you more. "

Lance sneered "You can't I already have what I need with voltron."

"Right yes, " Lotor paused " So then let's go through the you're team. Keith left huh, and you feel responsible, he was a good pilot and fighter and then you went to share some of your insecurities. "

Lance stayed silent

"Shiro is a good leader and has combat experience. Pidge she his a tech genius and has her own vendetta. Very driven. That's good for a team. "

Lance remained silent but his breaths we're short and quick

"Allura pilots blue and the castle. Certainly no way can you loose such a valuable person. And Hunk a hefty guy that is very smart and is an engineer."

Lance's vision was blurry.

"Then there is you. What do you have to offer? Jokes and the thought of being a sharp shooter? Comic relief going far enough to not eat for days on end, a useless price of scum is all you are to them. All you are is a stand in until a real paladin comes to take your place. "
