Lance groaned, hauling himself up off the floor. He grabbed his armor and pulled it back on, covering his bloodstained skin and shirt. He jogged out of the training deck after Keith, though he was considerably behind the shorter boy.

"It's Shiro - he tried to attack Allura and I!" Hunk explained when everyone was there. Shiro was lying on the floor, bleeding less than before, but still excreting more blood than he should.

"I thought​ he was in the healing pod, though." Pidge said.

"He was - the system reported an anomaly seconds before the pod opened. He acted strange for a moment and then started swiping at Allura." Hunk said. Keith looked over and saw Allura interacting with the room's computer.

"Maybe it wasn't his fault. Maybe it was something wrong with the healing pod - did he activate his arm?" Lance asked, and Hunk shook his head in response.

"No, he didn't."

"It looks like it was a problem with the pod - it woke him up before he was fully healed. Looking at his mental activity, I'd say he was having a bad dream and wasn't fully awake." Coran theorized from behind Allura.

"So he wasn't attacking you on purpose?" Keith asked, looking at the man passed out on the floor.

"It would seem not. We need to get him back in a pod, though." Allura said, pressing some buttons. Another healing pod rose from the floor.

"Help me lift him." Hunk said to Lance, and together they placed Shiro in the pod. It sealed itself and Shiro's breathing became steady again.

"Well that was interesting." Pidge said, tapping her chin. She shrugged and left the room, and the other three paladins followed her soon after.

"Lance, you should have showed Allura your wound. You're going to do it now, right?" Keith asked, staring intensely at Lance.

"Fine, I guess. But it isn't that b-" Lance gasped and fell to his knees, bringing his hands to his side instinctively.

"Lance!" Keith exclaimed, rushing to the blue paladin's aid. "Lance, we need to get back to the infirmary. Can you walk?" Lance nodded, standing up slowly.

"I guess we can go to the infirmary." He reasoned, breathing heavily as he and Keith slowly made their way down the hall.

"What's going on?!" Coran asked as the door opened and Lance fell to the floor. Keith dragged him carefully across the room.

"Lance was injured a few hours ago during the battle and didn't tell anyone."

"I thought it was a small cut!" Lance exclaimed.

"Let me see it." Allura commanded tiredly, prepping a pod. Keith pried Lance's armor off ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and lifted his shirt. Allura furrowed get brow as she looked at Lance's side. "Why didn't you tell me? We could have put you in a healing pod hours ago!"

"I thought it was a-"

Keith rolled his eyes. "Don't even start."
