Cenll 1309 - Present day

"What is it with you people and cells?" Lance groaned, doing his best to ignore the pain of the electric shocks.

"You're dangerous and uncooperative." Fury answered. "You also don't exist in our database."

"Well that's a shame. I was actually hoping that I existed." Lance replied in mock sadness.

"I can prove to you that you exist, but I doubt you'll like it." Fury sighed. The boy's magic gun was impossible to activate and nearly impossible to keep in one place. It kept jumping back into the boy's hand, disappearing and rematerializing in his cell.

"You're very perceptive." Lance rolled his eyes.

"So, how does the weapon work?" Fury asked again.

"Magic and a pinch of fairy dust." Lance groaned as he was shocked. He may have been strong, but it still hurt like quiznak.

"Kid, I'm not playing a game. I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't cooperate, you force my hand. How does the weapon work?"

"Shove it up your ass and maybe I'll tell you." Lance smirked, growling as electricity flooded his body again.

"How. Does. The weapon. Work?"

"Magic. You read Mr. Stark's report, right?" Lance braced himself for another shock, one that didn't come.

"Look, I think that either you genuinely don't know or you're​ going to soon run out of one-liners."

"Me? Run out of one-liners? Honey, I am a one-liner." Lance scoffed, unsurprised by the surge of electricity soon sent through his body.

"I'll give you one more shot." Fury pressed a few buttons on a small remote in his hand. "You tell me now, or I shock you once more. This won't kill you, but you'll wish it did."

"Go to Zarkon."

Stark Tower - Present Day

"What the hell happened?" Steve groaned, pulling himself up. He grabbed his shield, though he didn't need it. The tower was in perfect condition, save the splotches of Lance's blood on the carpet.

"Steve, you're awake!" Clint exclaimed, placing a hand on the super-soldier's shoulder.

"No kidding. What happened? I remember Bucky coming in, and then... Nothing."

"Fury sent a bunch of agents to take Lance. You've been out for a few hours and you were too heavy for Natasha to try and lift."

"So you left me on the floor?"

"So we left you on the floor."

"Typical." Steve sighed, looking around at the pristine room. "Didn't the tower get broken into?" He asked.

"Yeah. Tony spent the last five hours cleaning up the place. He and Banner are tracking the kid down as we speak." Clint sighed. "God, I'm tired."

"Tell me about it."

"You were asleep for five hours."

"Give or take seventy years." Steve smiled at Clint, who rolled his eyes in return.

"Come on, Nat made pancakes."

Castle of Lions - Present Day

"So, where is he?" Hunk asked.

"Because it isn't our Earth, I think he's in a different dimension. One where technology progressed slower than on our Earth. So he's seventy years in the future, leaving him in a 'modern' era." Pidge theorized.

"Are you saying that the wormhole-"

"Now you're getting it, Keith."

"So how do you propose we get to him?" Shiro asked.

"We do the same thing he did."

"You're suggesting we give up our lives here? Seventy years asleep on whatever Earth Lance is on may sound like a small amount of time, but that's seventy years for our families to age, for the galra empire to grow!" Keith shouted suddenly.

"Calm down." Pidge rolled her eyes. "I have a suspicion that some form of inter-dimensional time travel may be at play. How did we receive a video from seventy years in the future? There's something going on here bigger than us. If we can receive a video from when Lance is-"

"We can send ourselves back from when Lance is." Shiro interpreted.

"How will we come back here? We don't know if whatever 'force at play' can transport matter through time. It's a lot of risk for a hunch." Hunk pointed out.

"So we leave the castle here. If anything goes wrong, Allura and Coran can pick up a distress signal from us." Shiro replied.

"That's fine by me." Hunk said after a moment of silence. Keith nodded.

{Time skip brought to you by Bidey Spoi}

"Safe travels." Coran called as Pidge, Keith, Hunk and Shiro flew through the wormhole Allura opened.

"Well, they could be back any minute." Allura mused. She opened her mouth to continue, but before she could, an alarm went off.

"There are intruders in all of the Lion's hangars!" Coran yelled frantically. He and Allura sped towards the nearest hangar, where the red Lion sat.

"They're back." Allura sighed in relief. To her surprise, all of the paladins ran out of the lion.

"GODDAMNIT! I TOLD YOU THAT I HAD HIM!" Pidge screamed. She now had long hair and faint battle scars on every bit of visible skin. Next came Keith, whose hair was braided down his back. He, too, had scars. Everyone looked the same, but older, tougher.

"Paladins." The princess greeted.

"It's been forever, man." Hunk noted, wrapping Coran in a bear hug. Shiro and Pidge ran inside, dragging out a bewildered Lance and a man in red, white and blue spandex (who kept asking about some sort of bucket under his breath).

"Where the hell is the spider?!" Lance screamed suddenly, prying Shiro's arm off of his shoulder.

"Who-" Allura began.

"We've got a lot to explain." Keith muttered darkly.

I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, DIDYA?!

Don't worry. All will be explained in the next chapter(s).
