"Catra stop pacing before you wear a hole into the floor...I'm sure that between the surgeons and the healers that Adora will be fine." Cyra commented, tail flipping across the carpet as she lay on the couch, eyes closed as the bitter smell of fear and worry seemed to consume her sense of smell.

Ugh...They know how tough the girl is and if Catra would listen she would know that Adora's heart is beating strong. She thought, ignoring the growl and half-snarl that came from her daughter.

"I'm sure she's right. I mean the surgery isn't that major. I mean it's not like they're trying to repair a break in the spine or something." Glimmer stated but she was just as nervous as Catra.

"Do you know what all could go wrong in there? She could bleed to death or..." Catra began only to be cut off by Cyra.

"Catra...The best of the best is in there with her. I doubt something like that will happen. It's not like in the ancient times when Ether was used to knock someone out. Now sit down and try to calm down, your girlfriend would kill all of us—broken arm or not—if she woke up only to find that you had a nervous breakdown."

"Cyra's right, besides Adora's stronger than that." Bow finally spoke up, earning a dirty look from Catra.

"Anything can happen."

"Yeah anything can but you working yourself up into a panic attack or something isn't going to help." Glimmer told Catra, just as the door opened and Amur walked in.

"Okay...I was going to see how Blondie was doing but seeing as Catra is going rabid I think I'm going to guess you haven't heard anything yet." he commented, barely able to dodge a soda bottle being hurled at his head.

"Shut up you bastard!"

"Oh wow...very princess of you, How is it that you got the Tiger's Eye Brooch again?"

Cyra facepalmed as she listened to her nephew and daughter. She knew very well what Amur was doing but that didn't mean that it wasn't threatening to give her a headache.

"If you two brats are going to start this shit take it outside."

The first thing that she was aware of was a massive amount of pain in her left arm, the second was the hand that was holding onto her good hand.

Glancing up in the dimly lit room she saw that not only Catra was slumped over asleep in a chair by her bed while Bow and Glimmer were sleeping sitting up on a sofa by one wall, leaning against each other. She moved to sit up slightly, feeling Catra shift and yawn.

"Oh hey, How long have you been awake?" the feline asked, earning a chuckle.

"Not long. How long have I been out?" Adora asked with a wince.

"Uh three hours...They said that they had to give you a lot of medicine since you kept waking up on them." Catra answered, glancing at the clock before adding "it must be a She-Ra thing."

Adora managed a nod as she glanced down at her arm, wincing as she tried to lift it.

"Hey, don't move around too much. You'll rip a stitch or something. Does it hurt? I can have a doctor bring you something? I mean the only healer who could have healed bone isn't in this world anymore but I'm sure there's something someone can do for pain." Catra said, gingerly placing a hand over the bandaged arm.

"No, I should be okay. I mean I was chosen as force captain...I should be able to handle this." Adora retorted, earning a snort of amusement.

"Pretty sure I was the one who was better at hiding when she was hurt but okay...whatever. At least let me go get something to take the edge off." Catra retorted before standing, giving the sofa where the other two teens were sitting a kick.

"Hey, she's awake. I'm going to go get her something for pain...Make sure her stubborn ass doesn't move around too much." she told them before leaving.

Catra awoke with a kink in her neck and a numb tail—the latter because somehow in her sleep, it had curled across Adora's waist. Sitting up she saw that Adora wasn't asleep, but rather staring at her.

"Okay...That's not creepy at all. What's up? Are you in pain?" she questioned, earning a negative shake of the head.

"No, I was just thinking...You've kinda changed since you went off to Half-Moon. You're less guarded...Less angry." she said simply, smiling slightly.

"I guess I learned I don't have anything I really needed to prove but let's not worry about the past, okay? After this war I want to see the world with you...like we always talked about when we were kids." Catra responded, turning to face Adora who just grinned.

"That sounds like a plan for me. After this...I'm done with fighting."

Catra somehow doubted that Adora—as long as she was She-Ra—would ever be truly done with fighting, but she didn't say anything. After all, that would be a problem for future Catra and Adora.

A problem—Catra vowed—That they would face together.

"Never thought either of us would say this, but me too." Catra responded, closing her eyes as images of those graves at Half-Moon flashed before her eyes.

"Hey Catra," Adora began after a few minutes, earning a hum in response. "Don't move, I want to try something."

Before Catra could even comprehend what was happening, she felt a pair of lips press against hers. She froze up until Adora pulled away.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? I thought you said you liked me?" Adora teased, earning a light growl from Catra.

"No but I'm pretty sure this cat can take your breath." Catra responded before returning the kiss, careful not to be too forceful due to Adora's injury.

"How is that for like you?" Catra retorted as she pulled away, face flushing slightly as she added "besides, I think I may do more than like you...Ya know?"

Adora just giggled at that and lightly flicked her on the forehead.

"Yeah, I think I do. I also know that you'd rather choke on a hairball than say it." Adora quipped, earning a dirty look.

"Hey, it is not fair bringing that up either!" Catra said before leaning against her and beginning to purr, using the sound to try to convey what she was feeling to Adora, however as the sound continued, Adora began to notice something happening.

The mask that Catra wore was glowing very faintly, seeming to flicker with the pulse of the sound and suddenly Adora began to notice that her arm wasn't hurting so much anymore, the pain being replaced by a gentle warmth.

"Catra? What are you doing?" she questioned, causing the half-feline to open up her eyes and seeing the glow of the mask.

"I...I don't know, it's never done that before. Why, did I hurt you?" Catra questioned, eyes growing slightly wide as she backed up.

"No...It...My arm stopped hurting. I think you might want to go get Cyra, maybe she can tell us what the hell is going on." Adora responded, earning a nod.

"Yeah, you're right."
