***NOTE: this is still my Voltron OC, Korrin; however in my fanfic, she changes her name to Nova. So this scene takes place after that fact***
[Becoming Human: Changed]

A while later, Nova and Keith were sparring in the training room. Nova wielded her metal rod against Keith's sword. She was much more sturdy on her prosthetic limbs than she used to be, so she was able to hold her own against the former red paladin. She had never properly sparred with him before like she had with Shiro, and his fighting style was different. How, though, she couldn't quite figure out.

"You've gotten stronger," remarked Keith, impressed.

"Thank you," Nova replied, stepping back to avoid a sword swing. "It feels good to be sturdy on my own two legs again. Well, not technically my own."

Keith gave an amused smile, deflecting a jab from Nova. "They were made for you, so they're kind of yours." She feigned another jab, which he went to block but instead was met with a high kick to his shoulder, knocking him to the ground. "Nice kick."

Nova smirked, placing her foot over Keith's right arm so that it was stuck between her metal heel. "So how is being the new leader of Voltron?" She tried to sound happy for him, trying to mask the fact that she wished Shiro was still there.

From the ground, Keith heaved a sigh; half from being winded, half from being tired of answering that question. "It's hard work. But nothing I can't handle!" In a swift movement, Keith swept Nova's supporting leg out from under her and she fell on her back with a thud.

They both just laid there, most of their energy spent. Nova turned her head to look at Keith. His dark hair stuck to his sweaty skin and his chest rose up and down as he tried to catch his breath. She lightly nudged him. "You'll make Shiro proud," she said encouragingly.

Keith's face fell. "Yeah..."

Nova sat up, propping herself on her left arm, and looked down at him, concerned. "You don't sound as confident as you did a second ago."

"I never wanted this."

"I don't think anyone wanted this to happen," Nova lowered her eyes. "I mean you all worked so well together when Shiro was here. But because things have changed, does not mean you won't be that strong again."

"I screwed up the last time we encountered Lotor; I put us in jeopardy."

"But you learned from that. No one got hurt, and you all made it out." Nova shook her head. "Being a leader isn't about being right all the time. Are you a hot head who sometimes rushes into things without fully thinking them through? Yes. Are you sometimes blinded by ambition to see what your team needs? Also yes."

Keith's brows furrowed and he shoved Nova's shoulder playfully. "Is this supposed to make me feel better?"

She chuckled in response. "You didn't let me finish. You are fearless, brave, and have a very strong sense of justice."

"You think I'm brave?" the paladin teased.

"Shut up. What I mean is you don't back down from a fight easily, granted it may put you in tough situations. You also have the capability of being cautious and calm; even if it isn't always noticeable." She paused. "Like I said before, Shiro believed in you. And I still believe in you. You can do this."

Keith breathed out slowly. "And what if I can't?"

"Then I'll be here to kick your ass if you don't."

He grinned at her response. She had a way with words. Noticing her hand rested not far from his, he slowly moved his closer, letting his fingertips lightly brush her skin. "Do you always know what to say?"

Nova felt a light blush in her cheeks at Keith's touch. "I..." she trailed off, at a loss of what to say. After a moment she pulled her hand away and stood up, Keith sitting up in response. "I should go," she said quickly, attaching her rod to her belt. The doors opened and closed as she left. As she made her way back to her room, her chest felt as though it was pounding. The last time she had felt that was with--no, she didn't want to think about it. It hurt too much.

I know it has been quite some time since I've done anything with my Voltron LD fanfiction/OC. It had been on a hiatus until recently. Now I'm just powering through it. As you may have noticed, Korrin changed her name (as stated above). You may also have noticed her new prosthetic legs. I also prematurely debuted her haircut in this fake screenshot (she actually cuts it right after this). Honestly, I've changed quite a bit about her--obviously. But I really think the changes contribute to her character and her story. I'm actually really obsessed with writing her into Voltron, I really like her story.
