"Thanks pidge"i say quietly and hold the 3D copy of the mans face up to the scanner. I cross my fingers and hope it works. A green light flashes and the door opens, revealing a little green alien with many arms.

"Are you slav?"i ask looking at him.

"Oh no a break out!"he shouts, wait doesn't he want to be saved.

"I'm a paladin i voltron, now are you Slav?"i ask again.

"Yes i am Slav, but now that you are hear my chances of dying of not only increased in this reality but all the other reality a where i am in a prison too!" He shouts.

"I'm here to get you out. Don't worry it's perfectly safe for you to come out."i say in a hopefully soothing voice. He glares at me for a moment then walks to his bed and starts messing with the sheets.

"Um...what are you doing?"i ask, he keeps his eyes on the sheets as he answers me.

"Increasing our possibility of surviving".

"Um...okay, be quick about it we need to go"i say and look over my shoulder to see in any guards were coming. Finally he finishes and we start to walk back to the lions.

"Maybe i should tell you a bit about the team before you meet them"i say.

"Your recollection of your team is going to be incorrect in every reality but the vague idea will still stand...well except for in the universe where you hate them"Slav says.

"Oooookay,anyway....pidge is our super cool hacker,hunk is a good fighter and over all great person , shiro is our fearless leader. And Keith is always doing cool stuff like flying into asteroids." I say, my mind wandering to Keith.

"Oh this must be the reality where you and Keith are dateing" Slav says, i freeze in my tracks.

"W-what?"i ask, he looks at me.

"Oh i guess this isn't that one, is this the hanakia reality."he responds.

"Hanakia?! Whats that?"i ask, wait does he know i like Keith.

"Okay not this reality"Slavs shrugs what he says off. I start walking with him again, my body still stiff. How could he tell i liked Keith, my team hasn't been able to tell i like Keith. What if he told the team?!

"So then what about yourself?"Slav asks as he eyes the walls in the hallway.

"What do you mean?"i question him.

"You talked about what the other paladins can do, what do you bring to the team?"Slav asks while we continue to walk down the hallway.

"Um...well, i thought i was the team sharp shooter...but i guess nobody else sees that. I'm more like the 5th wheel..seventh if you count coran and allura...thats a terrible wheel to be"i say, my voice getting softer as the sentence goes on.

"Look, there is a reality out there where you are admired by many. They watch you on your missions and they make groups mainly about protecting you...course they cant actually protect you since the only connection they have to you is through a screen. But in this reality they care and they think you are valid paladin."Slav says. People...care, somewhere people like me. I cant help but smile at the thought that in some other reality people actually like me...

"Of course there is also a reality where you kill yourself"Slav suddenly says like it was nothing.

"you know...your a cool person Slav. Glad to have you as part of the team"i say.
