[Pidge's experience as a Paladin of Voltron has prepared her for a lot of different things. Surprise attacks, almost daily brushes with death, encounters with alien species of every kind... Generally she's ready for anything and it's pretty hard to surprise her at this point.
Seeing Peter in a worn out, weird-looking red and blue costume of some sort is... Well, it's enough to make her do a hard double-take.]
What in the--
[She has to actually shake her head to snap out of it. No time to linger on that now. Extract her oddly-clad friend from immediate danger and ask questions once they're safe. Pidge focuses on getting the shuttle low enough for him to reach (a quick mental calculation tells her whereabouts she should get to it, assuming certain laws of physics still apply), and then holding it level and at a steady speed to make it work.
She'll worry about what to do if they somehow miss each other when it happens. Hopefully her reflexes have been honed enough by now that she'll be able to react in time.
Fortunately she ends up not having to-- or something. Though she initially has a moment of panic when he doesn't hit the side of the shuttle the way she'd expected him to, the loud BANG from the roof and the pained groan of the comm tells her things have worked out. She lets out a little sigh of relief.]
Great. Now get in here before--
[And that's when she hears the screeching. Her face falls.]
Oh, quiznak.
[She's back to revving the shuttle up to hit full speed.] Either get in NOW or hang on tight!! This is about to get rough!
[That's about all the warning she gives. The shuttle quickly starts picking up speed as it makes for its escape, swooping upward to clear the misty area. The side door of the shuttle is still unlocked so Pete can climb in if he can. Ideally he'd be inside before she has to hit the boosters.]
