justapidgeIt was all still a lot to take in, even several days after the fact. The Castle of Lions was gone. Shiro--the real Shiro--was back. Lotor was gone. They were on their way back to Earth. So much had happened in such a short amount of time that all of the Paladins had been left scrambling to keep up in their own ways, scrambling to process everything and push through and everyone was coping in their own ways. It probably didn't help that they were all essentially traveling separately despite being able to communicate at all times and it was strange. Not bad. Just strange.
Which made every stop they made important. A chance for everyone to interact closely and reconnect; rebuild their bonds especially now that they were all truly back together again.
For Pidge, though, there was one person in particular that she hadn't approached directly and needed to. There was a lot that she needed to say, needed to address, but it was hard to put it all together. When the clone--when Kuron, as he'd come to call himself thanks to Shiro--had first snapped and escaped with Lotor, Pidge could have stopped him but she hadn't been able to take the shot. One look and she had frozen, finger on the trigger of her gun as she stared at the person she had come to see as an older brother; as some of the only family, the only connection to her family, she had left prior to finding Matt and her dad again. And then the castle had been attacked by the same virus protocol she had created and planted in his arm, just in case, and she had known right then and there just how far gone he was.
Lucky for all of them it turned out that it hadn't been the real Shiro at all and Kuron was being controlled by Haggar. Still a lot to process but..better than the alternatives.
They had landed on a rather lush planet to rest for a day or two before continuing their journey, three days since they had gotten Shiro back. Three days since Kuron had gotten a name and become apart of their ever growing family. Pidge was sitting on the ground by her lion's paw, back resting against the large metal appendage as she fiddled with her communicator to adjust the settings better. Her gaze flickered over towards the Black Lion then back to her communicator, the screw driver she was using slipping and earning a scowl from her.
She was too distracted for this.
With a sigh she tucked it away and climbed to her feet, leaving her helmet on the ground by the lion's paw as she made her way over towards the Black Lion. She'd seen Keith and Krolia go off with Hunk to see what sort of edible things they could find in the surrounding forest which meant Shiro and Kuron were probably the only ones still in the lion..unless Lance was bothering them. Worse case scenario she'd just have to awkwardly ask for some time alone right? Calibrations. That would be her excuse. Well, not really an excuse since she did intend to eventual try and make a new arm for Shiro and Kuron both but, well, it was a good conversation opener at least.
