[ Her frown only deepens more as he speaks. Something...like the Sincline? That could draw power off of their quintessence? That sounds like a very dangerous beast indeed... ]

What?

[ But what he's saying doesn't make any sense. There hadn't been anything else around when they evacuated the castle. And Shiro had only just returned to them. ]

The Atlas? What are you talking about?

The... Atlas... the ship on Earth Matt and his father built based on Altean and Galran technology? [ Keith draws in a slow, steadying breath. ]

Allura... what's the last thing you remember? [ It not being his first rodeo with time related shenanigans, he's starting to get the full picture that Allura might not be from when he is. ]

[ Keith really isn't the sort of person to invent things like that, even if he'd been out of it or hit his head. No, this is-- ]

...We had just decided to travel to Earth after sacrificing the Castle and finding Shiro. We were returning to our Lions to begin the journey.

[ --this poses some unfortunate realities. ]

...See, I remember that. But the thing is- for me we've already made it to Earth. The Galra were invading our planet... we fought and defeated Sendak, and after that... that's when the mech- or creature- I don't really know- showed up.

Allura... we almost lost. I don't even know if the other's made it. It... it was going to self-destruct. We flew it out of atmosphere, to save the planet. [ Keith's voice had grown quiet as he spoke, eyes darkening, slipping from her face to his own hands where he gripped the blanket in white knuckles. ]

That's why I was in such bad shape. The last thing I remember- [ He hesitated, wondering for a moment if he should tell her, but... what was the point in keeping it from her?

They were a team. ]

The last thing I remember, we were falling.

How--

[ How can he know all this? How can it be true? The only logical conclusion is that-- ]

...We're not from the same time.

[ And time shenanigans aren't something either of them are unfamiliar with at this point, but it doesn't make it any less jarring.

And...what he's saying doesn't bode well for the future either. Her expression darkens considerably. ]

It sounds like we did what was...necessary.
