[ There's something else when Black reaches out to him. Something that prickles along his consciousness and that he ought to know or understand but can't for some reason. Like trying to look at stars when dealing with a city; if he looks too close the hints vanish but he catches them from the corner of his eye.
Whatever it is, it's why Black will allow him to pilot her but it's clear he's not first or second choice by any means. At least it worked, even if he's not entirely certain how it happened.
The Castle is still there too, against the odds. Pidge had managed to override it somehow and saved all of them. The relief that hits him drowns out the rest of Haggar's influence for a moment and he's able to lift his head and stare out to see the Castle right there. Failure had never felt so relieving. ]
