Summary
It’s so quiet in space. Lance thinks he might be going insane. He wonders, not for the first time, how Voltron is doing without him. He hears whispers of his old team, sometimes; fighting Haggar’s Robeasts all across the universe, never gaining any ground. He’s glad they’ve found a new pilot to replace him as the Red Paladin. It hurts that they never came to look for him, but Lance understands. Introspection has become a byproduct of existing and he’s been alone with his thoughts for four months.
So yeah, Lance understands.

Keith pushes Red’s throttle to full, and the Lion goes into overburn on her own. He knows it’s foolish to waste so much energy on the search—especially here, especially now—but he’s getting desperate, and so is she. Lance is her paladin, not him. He’s just a stand-in. Really, he always was.
“C’mon, Lance, where are you?” he asks. The emptiness, as always, doesn’t answer.
Keith’s clock, set to earth standard time, chimes midnight. It’s been six months and thirteen days since Lance was taken—but for Keith, it’s been over two years.
He knows the only reason the Paladins haven’t found Lance yet is because they weren’t looking.
