Lance pov
I sat there worried Keith was Mia and the Shiro we have is an evil clone so there's no black paladin what do we do "Lance?" it was Allura and Asher "Yeah princess?" She looked at me hesitating "We need to find a black paladin" I knew she was right but who's gonna lead the team well enough if it's her then who will pilot Blue? "Lance I think black wants you to pilot him"I jolted looking at Asher as he said that he looked away"I mean Lance you're always leading us behind Keith or Shiro the team trusts you too and I know you can lead the team the only problem is who's gonna fly red"I smiled softly Asher always have my back I looked at red silently asking who she trusts to fly her she didn't answer "Lance?"I nodded "ok Asher I'll ask black if that's what he wants" Asher seemed to relax me and I were the only two who treated the lions as living beans the whole team was in black's hanger black stood there hunk looked at me"lance whoever black picks we are gonna need another pilot to replace them again" everyone looked at Asher he's the only other person who could be a paladin besides Coran he looked worried when hunk pointed it out like he knew he might have to fly a lion"we'll cross that bridge when it comes to its number 2!" Coran said just like when Shiro first disappear one by one we each walked into black me and Asher where the last two left" go on Asher!" He jumped and stuttered "I-I don't think I-"Before he could finish talking I pushed him a minute had gone by and Asher walked out weakly smiling"Not me" he spiked relief I was the last to go in as I sat there I put my hands on the controls and black lit up roaring I heard his voice in my head 'cub you're the best one for this please accept and don't abandon me' he sounded sad and worried I smiled softly and petted the control panel "I won't we'll find your pilots I swear everything will be ok boy" he purred I walked out I was sad to leave my lion again I hated it but we need a leader and I will step up Asher turned his head to red "who's gonna be your second in command?" I wanted him to be it but Asher was always shy about this stuff"Asher" I could see the anxiety build up in him he has a lot of self-hate and doubt in him

Asher

Lance said my name in a You know what's coming way "Lance don't you know I'm not a good fit" Everyone was staring they knew too it was either gonna be me or Allura and If it was Allura then I was gonna have to fly blue I hated it I'm not going enough and I know that I ran out I couldn't take it I'm not good enough I hid in a closet I can her red in my head 'please cub lance needs you he needs your support!' she sounded sad and mournful and I knew why lion aren't supposed to lose their paladins like this "red I'm not good enough!" She screamed 'Yes you are cub! Please' I walked mindlessly into Red Bay she bent down I walked in and sat in the pilot sit my hands hesitant for a minute "I don't know how to fly" I said 'you'll learn' I put my hands on the controls and gently started to fly her she roars as we took off it was difficult at first after hours of training and trying to get a hang of it we landed in her hanger I walked out seeing everyone "Asher ?"I smiled weakly waving "Me and Red did some team bonding" They hugged me "Asher we're gonna be great!" Lance said Coran was looking at me with a I knew you'd be great "Asher let's get your armor" I walked with Coran to make my armor

The end???
