Alex sighed, "Stop being so dramatic." He mumbled, earning a small glare from Shiro at the comment.

"Stop being such an ass." Cammy countered, ignoring Hunk, who had opened his mouth to try and stop her.

Alex didn't reply. He looked off to the side, sighing through his nose softly.

Cammy almost regretted the hostile remark she'd made, but shook it off. That was what both of them wanted. Right? You shouldn't even worry, you know the rules. Hunk's pushing it with how close you are, but that's one person. She shoved away her thoughts, and the dark cloud that had crossed her face, hurrying down the hall that she recognized as the way back to Blue.

Alex lingered for a second longer then necessary in the hall once everyone headed to their lions, staring at the way Cammy went. Get yourself together, it's not the worse she's said. He headed to Red, but his mind wasn't completely there.

He's right, though. You are dramatic. Cammy grumbled to herself, ignoring Hunk and Pidge's shared look. She ditched them at a hallway split, and in a few minutes, was relaxing into the pilot seat in Blue. "Hey, gorgeous. You ready to kick ass?"

(When you think of a scene that makes you're heart hurt cries)
Alex hesitated when he made it to Red. He wanted to just turn back and tell everyone they'd be fine without him but he didn't. He sat in the pilots seat and followed Shiro's orders to head towards the ship as fast as they could.

((Oooohh? Do tell?))

Cammy fiddled around with the controls, remembering Alex's connection he'd started. Now, if she could just figure out how to activate that between the other lions, so she didn't feel quite as alone. "Ah ha! Blue Lion to Mission Control, Mission Control, do you read?"

(Okay, so like, what if the team went on a mission and it went horribly wrong. On the way out, Alex saves Cammy and he gets captured while the others get out. Anyway, we skip forward like a couple days and they get a call from the galra and it's Alex being tortured, right? They get all mad and Alex struggles but then boom his dad turns up and flips on Alex. Cammy gets really mad and upset and goes to rescue him, only to find him completely bloodied and broken)

"We hear you Cammy, loud and clear," Shiro's voice was heard through the intercom system, "Can everyone else hear us?"

((Sksksks hOLY SHIT YES???))

"Green Lion chiming in." Came Pidge's voice, playing along with Cammy's theatrics.

"Good here." Hunk said, wincing as Cammy dramatically gasped, and hurrying to cover. "Er-Yellow Lion is on as well? Red Lion?"

(Lmao, Ima make a mental reminder for that for the future)

It took a moment before Alex's voice, maybe slightly softer and quieter came through the speakers, "Red here."

((You gotta))

"Five intrepid pals…" Cammy muttered, slipping into humming once more as they flew. Did Alex sound different? That was crazy, right?

Alex didn't say a word the entire time they flew. He didn't contribute to the plan Shiro was trying to form. They decided to take out the smaller fighter pilots first, and then form Voltron to take out the big ship, if they could.

"Hey, Alex, man, are you alright? Hunk asked over the comms, genuine concern lacing his voice. He wasn't the only one who'd noticed Alex's lack of contribution, but he was the only one who spoke up.

"Fine," Alex replied, though it sounded very forced, "Just focus on the mission."

Cammy furrowed her brows at that, even though Hunk quieted. Something was wrong. Was it the thing about him being Galra?

There wasn't anymore time to question Alex's weird behaviour as they arrived at the Galra ship, "Alright, Alex and Cammy, you take the right, Pidge and Hunk, you take left, and I'll take center. Take out as many ships as you can."

Cammy continued humming, the tune changing to something that might have honestly been the Star Wars theme. She followed Shiro's directions, Blue shifting to fly to the right.

Alex directed Red to the right, too, blocking out Cammy's humming. He focused on the incoming fight ships, easily dodging the attacks thrown their way.

Cammy's humming cut off abruptly, remembering Alex's comment about it being distracting. She bit her lip to refrain from continuing, instead focusing on blasting the attack ships.

Alex wasn’t really attacking back at the incoming ships, more dodging and deflecting but not attacking them. Even though he knew he should be destroying them, there was still that lingering part that knew he that these were his poeple, too and he couldn’t do it.

"Alex, behind you!" Cammy warned, eyes on the drones coming up behind him. So focused, in fact, that she didn't notice the slightly larger attack ship coming up on her until it rammed into Blue's side.

Alex just dodged the ships behind him and was about to give a short thank you to Cammy when he noticed she was hit, “Cammy? Are you okay?” He flew over, activating his bayard and a spew of fire hit the front of the ship.

"Just peachy!" Cammy said, managing to right Blue. "God, that woulda left a bruise." She muttered, shaking her head as she jumped back into the fight. "Thanks, man."

“You’re welcome.” Alex relied before falling back into silence again. He pulled his bayard out, dodging a near hit.

Cammy laughed as she pulled a few near-miss maneuvers, absolutely enjoying the thrill. "How's it going on the other fronts, y'all?"

“Going fine on my end, though I might need some backup soon!” Shiro said through the coms, following by a grunt as he took a hit.

"Alex'll come help ya out if ya need it. Just summon him!" Cammy replied, dodging a coordinated attack.

"Pidge and I are mostly good." Hunk said, fear lacing his voice. "Even if I feel like I'm gonna hurl."

Alex frowned a little at Cammy's remark but didn't say anything. Shiro hummed softly, "I actually think I need everyone up here, we can try and form Voltron and get this over with."

"Alright alright alright." Cammy sing-songed, blasting at an attack ship. "Quick question though. Does anyone actually know how the hell we form this super weapon?"
