{So this happens when everyone already went to Earth and they were on the ATLAS already, but The Paladins were solo on this mission because the ATLAS was helping a nearby planet. Also, in this AU, the person they find was dead in the series but in this they just went MIA before the Paladins got to Earth.}

The Paladins had just recently gotten some new and interesting intel from an abandoned Galra base. It said that there was another human the Galra had captured that wasn't Shiro, Matt or Sam, but it was also a guy. And this one was held in a pretty big base where he was the sole prisoner because of how dangerous he was deemed during the time he was forced to fight as a Gladiator.

So, as one does, they obviously went to free this guy, because he's a human who is somehow this far from home. {Spiderman, Spiderman I hit Gregory with- let me stop myself.} When they got there, it was a little hard to find his cell due to how many fake ones with nothing in them there was, but they found it and Pidge hacked the door, which opened to reveal the person. He was chained against the wall, in standard Galra prisoner uniform, but you could still tell how strong he looked. He wore a muzzle, and his eyes were closed with head down, he was clearly knocked out, likely from exhaustion. But even then, Keith immediately recognized him and his went wide, slightly watering.

Keith: "Adam..?"

Pidge turned around, as well as Hunk, and both of them gasped.

Pidge: "Professor W is the one they have?"

Hunk: " Sendak must've captured him when he attacked Earth."

Lance: "Wait, Keith, how do you know his first name?"

Keith: "Forget that, we need to get him out of here, right now."
