The Champion has returned.

He has a mission this time. He isn't merely for sport, fighting for entertainment. He's a soldier now, an assassin, designed to fight and to destroy Voltron. Enhanced further with Galra witchcraft and a hint of quintessence, whatever past the Champion has no longer exists. His life as a human, as a paladin, as a fighter pilot on Earth, it's all gone, replaced by the need to serve and fulfill his existence. He is a weapon and nothing more.

A few well-placed rumors ensure that Voltron will come to him. It's not his plan, of course. The Champion is no general. He is valued for his strength and the appearance that apparently is so tantalizing to Voltron, and nothing more. They will try to trick him, he's told. They will tell him he is one of them, that since he is human he must also be a paladin, but it is a lie. Killing them is his objective.

They are weak when they leave their lions. The Champion waits, watching the paladins foolishly land and exit. How stupid of them. They're defenseless without the Lions, and he knows this fight will go quickly.

He straightens from his hiding place. They come for him, crying out a name that means nothing to him. He does not smile. He does not move.

He waits.

"Don't apologize. It's alright, Takashi. I love you." It's such a rush to be able to say that again, to hold Shiro tight. "We're together." He runs his hand through Shiro's hair again, just letting him cry.

It's so good to just hold him again, to be so close to him, even though he's letting all of his emotions out. Matt falls silent, rubbing Shiro's back, holding him close, and pressing back against him when he does.

There's no need for words, just the two of them together.

"Of course. I'm here for whatever you need, Shiro. I promise." A pause. "Although, now that you've calmed down a bit, I have to ask... where is this ship going? Because if we're going back towards the Galra fleet, we might want to change course."

He gets off immediately, stepping back to Shiro can get to the controls. "If there's anything I can help with, let me know?" A pause, and a confused look. "What's a quiznak?"

"Hm." Matt slides into the copilot seat, mostly to have somewhere to sit and think. "So that might imply that you've been somewhere other than with the Galra?" A pause. "Tell me to shove it if I'm too much, ok? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anyone else looking for you."
tookashirototheknee: (lost boy)
From: [personal profile] tookashirototheknee
"Alright, so the one clue we have is a 'quiznak' whatever that is." A pause. "I wonder if there's a way to see if people who aren't the Galra are looking for you. Like... did the Galra ever know you as something other than the Champion? Because if we try to see if people are looking for Shiro, that's different."

He pulls his knees up, thinking and just watching space go by.
