As Alex rounded the next corner, he ran into Cammy. Not expecting it, he stumbled back a step and apologized, not realising who exactly he'd run into.

((Sksksks it says I need to request access?))

Cammy's smile was an instant response, usually he best way to deflect questions and concern, although it seemed incredibly forced. "Not your fault." Her voice cracked on the word fault as she looked over, blinking at the sight of Alex.

(Try now)

Alex frowned, sighing an then rubbing at his temples, "I though I ran into someone deserving of an apology but it's just you."

((Sksksk HOLY SHIT))

"Great, just great." Cammy muttered, not even bothering with a response as she pushed past him, tugging a hand through her hair. Something in her chest tightened, and she was slowly losing the ability to breathe properly.

(Hehe)

Now, Alex disliked Cammy, yes but he could sense something was wrong. He wasn’t a bad person so he turned back around, head tilted, “Hey, you okay?”

"Fine. Fine, just fine, of course, why d'you ask?" Cammy said, a bit too quick and rushed as she paused. She looked side to side, dragging her hand once more through her hair.

“You’re not fine,” Alex replied, quickly walking towards her and gently turning her around so he could look her in the eye, “What’s wrong?”

Cammy shook her head, squeezing her eyes shut and opening her mouth to continue denying it, before she paused. "Lost. I'm-I'm lost. And-there are bunch of other things that don't matter, but I'm really lost."

“Lost as in physically, or lost as in mentally?” Alex asked gently, “And those other things do matter.”

"Both." Cammy huffed a wry laugh, shaking her head. "But it's the physical part I'm focusing on. And-look, you don't have to pretend, it's fine."

(Poor Cammy :( Also sorry for being kinda slow, I have NAPLAN testing all week)

“Who said I was pretending? I might not like you very much but that doesn’t mean I’m a terrible bloke in general,” Alex sighed, runnng a hand through his hair, “Come on, the way out is this way.” He jerked his head a little and set off the way he came.

"I've been down this hall numerous times." Cammy muttered, managing to fend off the impending panic attack. It was easier, when there were others around, to pretend. "And gee, thanks. 'Cause that sure eases those thoughts. Whatever."

Alex sighed once again, knowing he was probably going to be doing a lot of that these days, “Yeah… whatever…” He mumbled.

Cammy began to visibly relax as they entered halls she recognized, her painfully fake smile slipping away to a more neutral look. "I-thanks. I guess. For helping me out."

Alex shrugged a shoulder, “It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” He rubbed at the back of his neck.

"Probably never would've gotten out of that damn maze of halls." Cammy grumbled, staying just a step behind Alex and at his side.

"We'll be here for a while so I guess you'll get used to them," Alex replied quietly.

"I hope so." Cammy said, shoulders slumping at the mention of how long they'd be there. What were the people back on Earth thinking had happened to them?

They soon made it back to the main part of the ship and by this point the others were back from their missions.

"Hunk! Pigdeon!" Cammy called, her happy and cheerful facade back in the blink of an eye. She turned though, as she passed Alex, shooting him a grateful look, before she was ruffling Pidge's hair.

Alex offered a small smile back to the look Cammy gave him but it was gone quick enough. He greeted Shiro, falling into a comfortable conversation.

Cammy listened to Hunk ramble on about finding the Yellow lion, leaning against Pidge as he fiddled with some gadget. Oddly enough, she found her gaze drifting to Alex a few times, and had to catch herself. Once Hunk had finished his story, she spoke up. "So, what's next?

“Well,” Shiro started, looking from Allura to Alex to her, “Alex and Allura were just explaining the whole Galra situation. Now that we have the whole team, we should try and take the ship down.”

"Are we sure we're ready for that?" Hunk asked, eyebrows knitting together in concern. "Because, Coran and I barely made it off that one planet…"

"Hey, hey, relax." Cammy said, a grin lighting up her face. "We got this, right? Dream team in the works right here."

Shiro nodded at Cammy, "She's right. We can do this. We might not be a perfect team but we're a team nonetheless. We can kick the Galra in the butt and put them back into place."

((Now I'm thinking about the kick ass go to space thing lmao))

"So let's go kick some ass!" Cammy said, high-fiving Pidge. "Also, we really gotta figure out a way to deal with helmet hair."

(ooft)

Alex actually had to bite back a smile at that one, though Shiro and Allura chuckled, "You'll get used to it," The Altean said, "Now go!"

"I don't want to get used to it." Cammy whined jokingly, linking arms with Pidge to tug him along as they left.
"But alas, the universe requires a sacrifice."
