Unexpected (part 2)
Two days have passed since Clint was saved by Jason. And for some reason, he still can't get the vigilante out of his mind.
Natasha teased him about it but he knows that if she sees Jason in action, she would be intrigued as well.
The way he fought was mesmerizing. Every bullet that was shot was so precisely aimed that the wounds weren't deadly.
Sure it knocked them out, but they weren't gonna die.
That form of marksmanship was only earned through years of hard work. And Clint's worked with Bucky enough times to know that Jason somehow predicted the next move of the attackers, aiming at the non-lethal body parts.
He has a feeling that Bucky and Jason would make an incredible duo.
Which is why he needs them to meet.
Clint doesn't usually do this but the more he thought about the bucket-wearing vigilante, the higher his list of questions got.
He took out his phone, leaning against the couch as he searched for the man that saved him.
vigilante wearing red bucket
He scrolled through google trying to find a decent article on the guy.
After thirty whole minutes of barely finding information, Clint wanted to throw his phone across the room. So far, all he's figured out was that Jason's territory was in Gotham and that his vigilante name is 'Red Hood'.
Which was... creative in a way?
At least it wasn't 'Red Bucket' or 'Bucket Head' or anything like that. It was definitely better than 'Green Arrow'.
After another failed search, he decided to finally give up. There was nothing about Red Hood. All the articles were mainly about Batman, Nightwing, a restaurant place, and a Robin!
He groaned and put his face in his hands. He doesn't care about those overrated heroes, he wants to find out more about Red Hood.
The guy was so cool... he wonders why there were barely any pieces written about him. The few sentences that he's read about the vigilante almost always depicted him in a bad light.
Which was honestly unfair.
He stared at his phone, contemplating on whether or not he should ask Natasha.
On the positive side, he knows that the assassin would have information on Red Hood. Natasha has information on everyone.
But...
Clint didn't want Natasha to tease him even more! If she keeps up with the sarcastic comments then the other Avengers would be curious. And curious Avengers meant nosy people.
He felt himself shiver, really nosy people.
He swears that if he had a sister— older or younger, they would act exactly like how Natasha was acting right now.
He could practically imagine the smirk she was wearing on her face when she picked up.
"Hey, Clint." she casually greeted, "How are you?"
He refrained from gritting his teeth, "I'm doing good." he paused, eyes closing as he took a breath in, this hurt to admit. "I need your help."
"I know."
"What do you know about the Red Hood?"
"The Red Hood?" she hummed under her breath, "Let's see."
Clint heard her moving things around, then he could distinctly hear the noise of paper being flipped. "Do you just have documents of random vigilantes lying around your room?" he couldn't help but ask. "Is this an assassin thing?"
Does Bucky do this too?
"I'm getting you the information you need." she reminded, "How I keep track of the data I have is none of your business."
"Okay, okay." he surrendered, a smile making its way onto his face. "But why don't you just keep it on a computer? Wouldn't that make things easier for you?"
She ignored his question, "Red Hood is an excellent marksman," she stated. "He made his debut as a crime lord by showing a bunch of people a duffel bag filled with the heads of notorious criminals."
Clint let out a whistle, "That is an intense introduction. He's even better than I thought he would be."
"Yeah," Natasha agreed. "He's easily one of the most dangerous and capable vigilantes in Gotham. In a matter of months, he's managed to bring crime down Crime Alley by at least fifty percent. Something that Batman himself, couldn't do. His methods were vicious, but they worked. Extremely well. He's killed a lot of child molesters, human traffickers, and rapists."
Even though Natasha couldn't see him, he tilted his head to the side, biting the inside of his cheek. Clint could care less about what methods Jason used. If they worked, they worked. And it's not like those criminals didn't deserve it. It's just-
Killing takes a lot out of you. Especially when you're young. Clint would know.
He had no doubt in his head that Jason was an incredible fighter. Not to mention that he was also huge— in both height and muscle.
He can see why he has a majority of Gotham fooled.
But, for about a minute, after they won against the ninjas, Jason removed his helmet in order to get a breath of fresh air.
A mask might've been covering his eyes, but Clint's been in the vigilante business for years now. He remembers clear as day, just how young the vigilante looked under the sun.
When Clint first started, he was thankful that he had Natasha to talk to whenever things got hard. Whenever he felt guilty for taking someone's life. No matter how much they deserved it.
Hell, he's still thankful for Natasha now. Without her, Clint would probably be dead. His body found bleeding out in an abandoned area, a neat row of scars on his thighs and arms.
He hopes that Jason has a friend like Natasha. Someone who'd be there for him no matter what. Someone who'd remind him that he was worth it. That he was loved.
Cause if not, then there is no way that the kid is okay.
Natasha's sharp voice interrupted his thoughts, "That was a few years ago. As far as I know, he doesn't kill anymore. The farthest that Hood would go now would be to permanently cripple someone. And even then, he would only do that when the person did something unforgivable."
After a few seconds of silence, Clint opened his mouth. "Is that it?" he couldn't help but question.
"Nope," Natasha admitted. "But it's all I'm willing to tell you."
"Fine then," he smirked. "Keep your assassiny secrets. I got more than I expected anyways."
"What did you get yourself into, Clint? Why all the sudden interest in him? Why all the sudden interest in a vigilante in Gotham?"
He knows that Natasha was just looking out for him. She was worried. "Do you remember a few days ago when I was saved by this Jason guy?" he asked.
"Yeah? You've been talking about him nonstop. He saved your ass and you gave him your number." she paused before adding, "Your private one."
He nodded, "Yeah. Well, he's the Red Hood."
"You're kidding."
"Nope. I searched him up and he had the same costume and everything."
"And he actually said that his name was Jason?"
"Yep." he tried to casually say, "It's probably cause Jason's a popular name and stuff."
"Maybe." Natasha hesitantly agreed, "But anyway, since you gave him your number, I think you should know that I've always wanted to meet him so if he texts you soon..."
Her voice trailed off and Clint couldn't hold in his sigh, "Yeah, yeah. I'll arrange a meet-up or whatever."
Her voice automatically brightened, "Actually?"
The corner of his mouth lifted, "Sure. But I wanted to introduce him to Bucky first."
Natasha made a shocked sound of betrayal, "Wha- but Clint!" she whined, "I'm the one who's asking. Not him."
"I know."
It took everything in him to stop the laugh from escaping his mouth.
Complaints about how unfair Clint was being made their way onto his ears and he relished each and every one of them. It wasn't often that he had something Natasha wanted.
Revenge was sweet.
After a few minutes, he let out an incredibly fake gasp. "Sorry, Natasha. I gotta go. I have a kitchen emergency."
"What the fuck, Clint." she demanded, "You don't even know how to cook. Remember the omelet incident? What emerg-"
He hung up.
Clint's definitely going to regret ending the call later. He knows it.
But right now, he could care less.
He has something Natasha wants, so she won't murder him.
... hopefully.
He hopes that he runs into the vigilante soon. Jason was cool and pretty fun to talk to. Clint definitely won't mind fighting at Red Hood's side once more.
They worked really well together.
While they were fighting, he knew that Jason was gonna have his back. He knew that Jason wasn't gonna let him get hurt. It was weird, considering that was the first encounter he's ever had with him.
He doesn't know when Jason is gonna decide to use his number, but he hopes that it'll be soon.
He has questions. And whenever Jason was ready, Clint hopes that he can answer.
Starting with the one that's been clouding his head; why did the Red Hood stop killing?

when everyone who loves me has died
For the anon who requested parrlyn angst with boleyn comforting: I give you this very very sad piece of something.
Normally when I do hurt/comfort it’s physical, but this is just sad. Although I haven’t written kid fic yet (and this isn’t that as a disclaimer) I am very fond of the children plus my fave Jane Grey and reading about Parr’s relationship with both Bess and Jane before she died gives me a lot of feelings. Now this does overlook the discourse over Parr’s alleged part in the Th*mas Seymour bullshittery, but because this is a work of fiction it follows the notion that Parr sent Bess away to protect her and nothing else.
With that said and done, I hope you enjoy me pouring feelings out <3
It wasn’t usual for Cathy to shut herself in her bedroom-study for hours upon hours as she worked. Anne didn’t understand how she could stay focused on one thing so long but she never stopped admiring her girlfriend’s dedication to the causes she thought important, only ever stepping in when she got worried that Cathy was putting her work over her health. She never blamed Cathy for getting too caught up to remember she was still human, and was always willing to give her a gentle reminder to eat or sleep or just take a break whenever it was needed.
But she felt like she was right to be concerned one day when she came back from the theatre on Cathy’s random show off night to see her bedroom door shut. Normally she would always be waiting downstairs for them when they came home, having enjoyed some time to herself but happier to have her family back with her. And as much as Cathy called promises she was ok just busy from behind the door when Anne knocked and Jane assured her that she was probably just caught up in something, she couldn’t help the persistent feeling as she climbed the stairs to her bedroom that all wasn’t right.
And that only worsened when there was still no sign of her by dinner the next evening.
It was normal for Cathy to spend their Sundays off making up for lost researching time so Anne didn’t know why she was surprised to not see her in the kitchen when she came down for breakfast. She was too distracted by worry to get anything productive done so passed the time by shadowing Aragon and Jane as they did their weekly clean of the house, grateful to them both for giving her mindless tasks without asking her too many questions. Though when evening came and she still hadn’t said a word to anyone, Aragon and Jane’s concerned expressions gave Anne the permission she needed to race up the stairs towards her room.
“Hey, babe?” she called quietly as she knocked on the door, ear pressed to the wood so she might better hear any response. “Are you ok? We’re worried about you.”
Only silence answered her question.
A worried furrow appeared in her brow and she placed a hesitant hand on the door handle. “Cathy?” she said again, unable to stop the slight tremble in her voice at the thought of why she might not be answering her. “If you don’t answer me I’m gonna come in, ok?” She left it a few seconds before giving up on that hope, pulling in a shaky breath to try and steel her nerves before she slowly pushed the handle down and opened the door.
Chaos greeted her. Cathy’s desk was rarely completely tidy but the mess of papers had completely taken over her room; crumpled sheets of scribbled writing were scattered everywhere and the back cover of a notepad lay below a smudged mark on the wall, as if it had been thrown across the room and exploded on impact. Books had been pulled out of the bookcase and abandoned all over the place with one open on the desk which looked as though there had been pages ripped out. Blue post it notes that Anne had brought her covered the wall behind her laptop screen. The bed was unmade though it still didn’t look slept in, making Anne wonder with a jolt of fear if Cathy had even rested in the last 24 hours.
With all the destruction everywhere, it took Anne’s eyes a good few seconds to look past it in order to try and find where Cathy was. The sound of a stifled cry made Anne’s head whip round towards Cathy’s desk, and now that she knew where to look she saw the figure curled up beneath it amongst a nest of screwed up pages. Her knees were pulled up to her chest with her fingers snagged in her hair and was shaking uncontrollably.
Anne wasted no time in rushing across the room towards her, paying no heed to the papers beneath her feet, though forced herself to slow down before she reached her so as not to spook her. “Cathy, sweetheart, it’s me,” she said gently as she crouched beside her, waiting a moment to see if her voice alone could penetrate whatever state of mind Cathy was trapped in.
When she received no response she laid a gentle hand on Cathy’s knee, drawing back immediately when Cathy flinched in surprise and looked up at her. “Hey you,” Anne whispered, looking into her girlfriend’s red-rimmed eyes and at the tears streaking down her face as her chest clenched in sorrow.
“Hey,” Cathy rasped, her voice croaky from disuse. She looked about to say something else for a moment, mouth ajar and chest stilling, before she just ducked her head again and muttered “Sorry.”
“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about. You’re ok, we’re both ok,” Anne said as soothingly as she could, taking one of Cathy’s hands and gently untangling it from her hair to hold close to her chest.
Cathy shrugged but didn’t pull away, uncurling herself a little to sit slumped with her knees resting against Anne’s. “Shouldn’t have shut myself away like this though,” she said. Her other hand dropped to her side as she spoke and landed on one of the discarded papers, which she barely looked at for a second before crushing in a white-knuckled fist.
Watching her expression change, Anne felt a pang of sadness that the hobby which normally brought Cathy so much joy had caused her so much pain. “Still doesn’t mean you have to apologise,” Anne said, giving Cathy’s limp hand a gentle squeeze. “You want to tell me what happened?”
Sniffing, she rubbed the sleeve of her hoodie under her eyes in an attempt to dry her ravaged cheeks. “I was stupid,” she started, a note of frustration creeping into her distraught tone. “Don’t know why I thought looking her up would be different this time round. I didn’t find anything the first time or the second time or this time or any other time in between but I just can’t get myself to quit. I can’t get myself to give up on her.” Her voice was almost inaudible as she uttered that last sentence.
It wasn’t hard for Anne to guess who Cathy was talking about. Her most precious secret. Mae.
“And then when I couldn’t figure out what happened to her starting putting together what happened to all the others. They all suffered so much and I hate that so much. Bess – your Bess – what that horrible, awful man put her and Edward through. And I never knew until it was too late. I tried so hard to protect her while I could but then I left them all alone with that monster! I knew after Bess and I was going to protect them all but then I died and I left them alone!”
Anne could only stare as Cathy’s voice rose in both pitch and volume as her distress mounted. The comment about Elizabeth had caught her off guard, her hands stilling from where she’d been stroking Cathy’s hand, momentarily wrapped up in the anger she’d been seized with when she first learned what happened to her precious daughter.
“They were children,” she spat bitterly. “Just children, left alone and used by everyone who cared what they could use them for but never about them.”
The defeat in Cathy’s face was enough for Anne to shove her misgivings away to focus on what was at hand. “You cared,” she reminder her quietly, squeezing her hand lightly.
Fresh tears flowed down Cathy’s cheeks as she gave a hollow smile. “I cared so much. They were incredible. Bess was so witty and determined, Jane so clever and kind. And Mae was just perfect. I was going to look after them all, teach them how to survive, keep them safe. Me and my girls. We were going to be a family,” she whispered.
Silence followed her last words and Anne let it, too caught up in just watching the incredible woman before her to say anything with any meaning. It never failed to amaze her just how much strength Cathy had shown in those old days. What she’d done to keep herself alive and protect her little prodigies while she could. “It would have meant so much,” Anne pointed out after a while, giving her a nudge with her knee.
Cathy nodded, rubbing her eyes again. “I know,” she said hoarsely, giving Anne a grateful glance before bowing her head and falling quiet again.
“But I let them down.”
Anne looked up from when she’d been trying to read a nearby sheet of paper with Bess’s name on, glancing with trepidation at the lines of fury etched into Cathy’s face. It was very rare that Cathy was ever this angry, preferring to channel her emotions into strength rather than let them rule her like Anne was prone to doing, and she’d have been lying if she said it didn’t scare her a little.
“I died,” Cathy continued, voice dark and dangerous. “I left them in the lion’s den. And now look what happened to them; Bess was hurt and interrogated with no one to fight for her, Jane was used and paid with her life for someone else’s ambition, and they let Mae disappear. No one cared about the daughter of two ex-somebodies. I should have been there, I should have fought harder for them because no one else cared enough to do it.”
“No, sweetheart, it wasn’t your fault. They could never have blamed you,” Anne said, tugging lightly on Cathy’s hand in a fruitless attempt to make her look up from where her gaze was lowered in shame. She’d already had that conversation with Jane once before, trying to convince her that she wasn’t to blame for leaving Edward behind. “You can’t blame yourself for your death. You’d never have left them if you had the choice. You loved them so much and you couldn’t change what happened,” she insisted gently.
When Cathy only gave a hum in response, Anne reached out to cup her jaw with one hand and tilt her chin upwards. She smiled sadly at the loss in Cathy’s eyes, kissing her temple before pressing their foreheads together and murmuring “Thank you for doing what I couldn’t do for her.”
Cathy sighed as her head fell sideways into the palm of Anne’s hand. “Thank you,” she said, smiling for a second before her expression crumpled again. “I’m sorry I got caught up in everything, I was just desperate to find something to reassure myself and got so frustrated and now I haven’t slept at all and I don’t feel very well and-“ she broke off with a sob, burying her face in her hands.
Anne ducked her head under the desk in order to wrap her up in a hug, holding Cathy tightly as she shook in her arms. “I’ve got you. Love you so much,” she whispered as she stroked Cathy’s hair, letting the exhausted girl pour out her sorrows into her shoulder since clearly she so desperately needed to.
“I love you too. I’m sorry,” Cathy repeated breathlessly, her arms losing their strength as her exhaustion built.
Shaking her head, Anne shushed her gently to quieten her apologetic cries. “No. No apologising,” she said, adjusting her grip to take as much of Cathy’s weight as she could manage. When she slumped further with her head rested against Anne’s chest and her eyes closed, Anne nudged her gently and said “Can I get you into bed love? You need to sleep but shouldn’t here.”
Cathy hummed in quiet agreement, just about managing to make her weary limbs cooperate with Anne as she helped her out from under the table. Once they were into the light Anne could see just how much of a toll the last day had taken on her; her face was grey though her cheeks were flushed pink in stark contrast to the dark circles beneath her eyes. She was still shaking a little where she stood, but when Anne pressed a palm to her forehead and felt how warm Cathy was she realised it might have been feverish shivering instead.
“Come on,” she prompted, one arm around Cathy’s waist as she helped her sit down on the edge of the bed and pull off her hoodie. Her phone buzzed in her pocket as she was piling up all the pillows for Cathy to lay back against, the concerned text from Jane reminding her that it was meant to be dinner time and that Cathy hadn’t eaten anything in the last day. Once she was resting on the nest of pillows, Anne asked “Do you think you’d be able to eat anything, babe?”
A defeated shrug answered her, so Anne left her with a kiss on the forehead and a promise to return soon as she left to get dinner for them both. There was no way she was leaving Cathy in that state without being reassured that she was being taken care of at long last.
After running downstairs to see what Aragon had made for dinner, Anne came back up the stairs with pasta for herself but a bowl of soup for Cathy since they’d figured it would be easier for her to stomach. Cathy was unmoving on the bed with her head lolled to the side when Anne pushed her door open but she stirred at Anne’s cheery greeting, picking her way between the papers towards her.
Cathy watched her move, a dejected frown appearing on her face as she muttered “I’ll need to clear those up tomorrow.”
“That’s a problem for tomorrow’s you though. And I’m gonna help you and it’ll be alright,” Anne said, offering her a carefree smile.
“Oh. Yeah, I guess,” Cathy nodded, a somewhat surprised expression on her face.
Anne hummed in agreement, offering out the bowl of soup to Cathy and supporting her shaky hands as she took it. “You don’t have to finish it, just as much as you can,” she prompted her.
She just stared at the bowl for a few seconds, making Anne wonder if she was slipping again from the seemingly stable mindset she’d brought herself back to. But then Cathy looked up at Anne, bashful hope shining in her eyes as she asked “Can you help me?”
Anne was more than happy to oblige. She shuffled close to Cathy and guided her hands as she slowly ate her dinner, talking about easy topics as they did so and pausing whenever she needed to. When Cathy grew too tired to keep talking Anne put both their bowls on the bedside table and lay down before her, holding her close as the last of her energy reserves seeped away. Cathy’s body was still feverishly hot as she buried her face into Anne’s chest again, and Anne was more than happy to be her shelter from the memories that had haunted her for so long.
Tomorrow they’d clear up the mess Cathy had created, both in her bedroom and inside her head. But for now, Anne would just hold her while she slept and keep her safe from the pain of her regrets.

lavender for luck by lovelylogans (wc 66391): (LAMP) Virgil's uncle castes spells, reads fortunes, and listens to houses talk just like Virgil's father when he was alive. You see, the Fae family is born with both magic... and a curse. Those who fall in love with a Fae and have that love returned all die, so Virgil refuses to ever take that risk.

With Roman's play coming up and everybody seeming very happy, it would almost seem like things would finally work out for them... almost.

The unfolding of this relationship was going to be something akin to a fairy tale and if that was the only light in his dark existence that fate would grant Virgil, then he would take it without regret.
Silence and Duality by xaandiir: Warning! Read tags! Children make mistakes and the Sides were no exception. When Thomas was young, they locked up the one who was hurting him. They thought they were only protecting Thomas. Now that Fear is out, they have to face he consequences of their decision.

Space has a plan for you.
Pidge always wondered if space planned her becoming a paladin ever since her father and brother left for the Kuberos mission. Shes always thought she was the one living in her brother and dad's shadow , that she'd never do anything remotely impressive compared to them. It only takes her waking up to Keith and Lance fighting like brothers and Shiro being the typical space dad one morning and an old family photo to realize how much space had changed her life since they left earth.
One shot Song Fic based off of Swedish House Mafia's song "Don't you worry child"
Read on my A03: http://archiveofourown.org/works/12714762
Pidge POV
I remember my life before they left .
The early mornings when i used to wake up to my father shaking me awake , id always wake up to his happy smile and bright eyes whilst he tried to coax me out if bed with the promise of waffles and ice cream . Wondering down the stairs to my mum singing to 'Dont stop believing' in the kitchen. Matt running after our dog Rover , who's stolen a random piece of Matt's robot and started to run around the house with it thinking its a toy with Matt racing behind shouting with a handful of dog treats trying to trick Rover into letting the robot go. Dad sat drinking coffee and completely ignoring to Matt's protests at Rover, sat on his favorite armchair reading out random newspaper articles regardless if everyone whether they wanted to hear them or not. Its a weird morning routine  but i wouldn't change it for the world
I still miss those mornings. Even though mornings in the castle are equally as entertaining, it never compares to the familiar of mornings i loved at home. My mom's homemade waffles were replaced by Hunk making different 'foods' out of the space goo , Matt and rover’s shenanigans were replaced with Lance and Kieth yelling at each other over the stupidest stuff in the early hours of the morning. This mornings argument was about how Kieth's jacket and t shirt  somehow made its way into Lances wardrobe after laundry day and Lance hadn't mentioned it until Keith found him wondering around the castle in his t shirt.
"Why would you keep it?. Red isn't even your colour " I could hear Kieth shout
"Why cant it be!. I'm controlling red now , so i thought id give it a try become one with her" Lance retaliated , both boys getting progressively louder trying to drown out the other.
"NO RED IS MY THING LANCE. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I RANDOMLY STARTED WEARING BLUE .... OR YOUR JACKET!"
"You wouldn't dare Mullet....."
I could hear their voices getting progressively louder even through my headphones.
The only thing that sort of resembled life back home was Shiro , who could always be found on the couch sipping coffee with a look of pure frustration , reading the ships space log as he listened to Lance and Keith argue on and on , but never bothering to actually stand up and split them up.  Some mornings listening to Keith and Lance's stupid arguments was funny , but mornings like these, where i especially missed my family and wanted to cry i just collected some of Hunk's food goo from the fridge , plugged my headphones back in and listened to 'Don't stop believing' as i wondered round the castle back to my lab.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
It was the photo on my lab wall that finally made the lingering tears flow.
It was taken a week before they set off . We'd been searching for new alien frequencies on the hill near the lake in our village when he told me about his and Dad's mission to Kerberos. I remember how exited and proud he sounded as he layed back onto the grass and rambled on about what an amazing opportunity this is and how exited he was to see more of space whilst doing something he loved. But the more he rambled about this amazing opportunity , the more negatives were building  up one by one in my mind. We were all so  proud of what he's accomplished in the space of the year; he made it into the Garrison, created a new code for communication, passed his scientist training with flying colors  and even became the garrisons youngest to ever go on an extended mission ,along with Dad and another cadet named Shiro.
I couldn't take away everything hes trained a year for from him because his little sister had a few doubts about her brother and dad leaving, but inside my heart broke soon as they stepped onto that spaceship.
I didn't want anything to change , i wanted things to stay how they were. I wanted to wake up each morning to my dad's happy smile , the smell of waffles and my mums singing coming from the kitchen , being met by Rover's playful barks and Matt's laughter as I tottered down the stairs . Sure everyday was a routine but it was the routine I've become conformable with . The morning after they left for Kuberos was the only morning i didn't want to leave my bed. The photo always made me cry , it just had to much emotion behind it .
I was meant to be a paladin of Voltron , a legendary warrior who puts everyone before themselves and protects the galaxy selflessly everyday. But one piece of paper could reduce me to tears - guess i haven't really grown up from being that little girl who cried for hours the day they left.
Since they left i've kept and tinkered with small pieces of their belongings , i've even tried to re-construct Matt's Garisson communicator just in case i could hack into their communication system. I was never able to get the right parts to amplify and unscramble the signal on earth, but now i'm surrounded by altean tech i'm so happy i brought my box of trinkets with me.  
Dad  always said i had a thing for tinkering and messing with things I shouldn't , which somehow made him call me the family "techy little gremlin" , even though i hated the nickname at first it was settling now that my dad saw so much potential in me , even from a young age. He always said space had big plans for me, I've always expected id be helping  from down here on earth at the Garrison or something but i guess the space had different ideas.
I guess he was right , space did throw huge plans at me.
I definitely though i'd changed from the little Katie i'd left on earth , the girl who was too shy to show off her intelligence because she didn't want to stand out or be judged . The girl who masked her intelligence behind frilly dresses , long hair and sarcastic comments . The girl who never thought she'd even make a dent in science compared to what her brother and Dad were doing , so never showed anyone outside her family her inventions.
Well now i'm looking  at the same little girl in the mirror only with a new haircut and a pair of glasses , 2 years later.
I've done my best to become a different kind of girl , id become Pidge Gunderson. The super geek who could hack random robots whenever she wanted and always had the perfect  sarcastic comment under her belt whenever needed. Pidge Gunderson, paladin of the green lion . The photo on the wall reminds me that i can never let Katie Holt fully go , she will always be a part of me and its taken me a few years to realize i never actually wanted her to  disappear.
He was right space has big plans for me. Space had plans to turn me into an improved version of Katie Holt , a girl who wasn't afraid to speak her mind or show off her intelligence. A girl who could rule the world with just her intelligence.
Id wondered back into the common room for some fresh air , all those screens and junk in my lab made it difficult to think straught, but I still kept the tattered old photo clenched between a closed fist as i heard Lance and Kieth still bickering in the other room along with Shiro failing to try resolve their stupid argument.  Even tough it was different than back home , this everyday routine made it seem like we've already conformed into family roles:
Allura was the serious mum who was secretly really sweet if you got her on the right day or did some random chores around the cattle
Shiro was of course the dad who tried to be serious but was really one of the kids, he always tried to teach us how to resolve arguments but usually ended up in the muddle of them.
Hunk was like the protective older brother we'd definitely all die without , he was one of the sweetest people id ever met and would drop everything they were doing if one member of the team was upset.  
Lance is most like Matt out of all the paladins, he'd constantly have really bad puns he'd spout out even at the most inconvenient times but they'd always leave everyone laughing. Hes definitely the most protective over me other than Shiro when were on missions or when random aliens get to close. Hes always the first one to ask me about new inventions or if he could help with anything.
Keith's like the emo cousin that you don't really know too well until you manage to hit a common ground, which funnily enough for us was conspiracy theories (We know your out there mothman!). Then they end up being really funny but still have a short-arse temper. He always has to one up the eldest cousin (Lance) and would threaten playing his emo music way to loud around the castle if anyone annoyed him. Lastly , Coran was the weird uncle with fabulous hair that let you get away with too much behind your parents backs.
They all made me  feel like i was with my family. Space has big plans for me , but those plans brought me into a group of people I've grown to love and admire , a group of people id now happily call my family away from home.
Even though now i had another mix matched family in a totally different world and i went by a different surname, i still had the mind of a Holt  and i was gonna save the world with it.
