Adora had an uncle, well she had a family, both Catra and Glimmer knew that, so did Adora on some deeper level as how else would she be alive? What Catra and Glimmer hadn't said to the blonde was they'd met him.
"What do you mean you met my uncle?" was Adora's first response. Catra smiled, almost in a way of placating the situation. "Well. When we, that's is me an Sparkles were on four eyes ship...wemetyouruncle?!" she spluttered out the last bits.
"Met is a strong term, more like he was dragged in and insulted Prime for 5 minutes before being dragged out again whilst we were in the room." Glimmer added.
"Was he nice?" came Bow question, the archer so pure of heart wasn't expect the reply. "No not really." came Catra's blunt response. Bow looked almost as heartbroken as Adora. "What?"
"He chucked a baby into a portal to another dimension Adora!" stated Catra "And probably gave my girlfriend brain damage at the same time" Catra inspected the blondes head. "I don't have brain damage."
No one noticed the purple and blue figure follow them back to Brightmoon.
Adora put off the thoughts she had a family member that was Shadow Weaver level evil till she walked into her room, same as it was all those weeks ago when Prime first attacked. Catra blinked recognising the figure in purple standing in the middle of the room looking quite lost.
Adora was She-ra in an instant, sword at the figure neck. "Well if I didn't think you were my niece before I defiantly do now." moaned the figure. Hand raised upwards in surrender.
"Niece, what?" Adora seemed confused, Catra watched as Skeletor seemed to blink. "So you either have my brother brain or you're deafer than a tombstone girl. I am your uncle." Adora blinked again slowly before looking over at Catra "What's an uncle again?" she whispered. "Your parents brother" "They share a brother?"
Catra and Skeletor stared at each other for a moment. "No Adora, he's only related to one of your parents! That's how the works!" Catra didn't know that for sure but it made sense at least. "I am your fathers brother." Skeletor moved the sword away with a boney hand. "I am Skeletor, Lord of Snake Mountain."
Adora reverted back to herself, "I'm Adora... you know She-Ra." Skeletor moved his head to the side. "I am indeed aware of that." Adora then pulled Catra back into the fold "And this is my girlfriend Catra."
"Quite, on a side note, grow out that mane of yours, your current look makes me feel like am about to be accosted by someone wanting a refund." he adjusted the hood, revealing the skull for a face, Adora gasped in horror, grapping Catra "Catra, he has a skull for a face, like the Weeping Princess!" Skeletor face couldn't really show the amount of surprise he was feeling, tilting his head before uttering a tiny "What?" "It's a horde thing don't worry about it" Catra huffed.
"Ah I was wondering about the amount of Horde Red in the outfits, strange it fell out of favour from old four eyes not twenty years ago." Skeletor smiled, the only grin he could perform was toothy so describing it as such would just be a waste of words. "What happened to him by the way? I was just about to be executed when all of the idiotic clones started to cry about "Being cut off form his light"" "Oh I destroyed him after Hordak was possessed by him." "Did he grandstand? I doubt he wouldn't have." "There was a little bit. I didn't let it go on very long." Skeletor nodded "Any good one liners, if your a Grayskull their tends to be a one liner in their somewhere."
"A Grayskull?" Adora wondered out loud, Catra raised an eyebrow "Isn't that the thing you fight in the honour of?" "Yeah, for the Honour of Grayskull." Skeletor coughed loudly "It's your surname." "Oooh, well, guess I should remember that." "Yes you should, that is an important fact to you should remember." Skeletor seemed at a lose for words, Catra looked at the related pair both stare off at the room in different direction. She coughed "So your a First One, right?" stated Catra "A what?" "What people from Eternia are called here." "Ah, yes then." "So when does Adora's face fall off?"
Adora grabbed her face then pointed at Skeletor's face "My face is gonna fall off?!" "No! Your face won't fall off!" "But your my family! Families normally look like each other right!" Adora panicked, Skeletor gave Catra a look "You just had to say it didn't you." Catra smiled, shrugged and purred in that order. Adora grabbed her blue skin family member and shock him "Will my face fall off?!" "No! You nitwit!- he picked up Adora by the shoulders to stop her shaking him, placing her down firmly on the ground once she'd stopped trying to shake him even when of the ground- I am the only member of our family with this- he waved a hand over his fleshless face- everyone else has a regular face." Adora seem to relax.
"So what's with your face then?" asked Catra, Adora elbowed her "You just can't ask that, we've just met." "I met him on Prime's ship Idiot." Skeletor looked between the two, nodding at the sight before him. "The answer is dark magic, it's not that interesting really." "I thought you were a boaster?" "Oh I am a boaster but what's to boast about here, I lost my face fighting my brother whilst trying to claim the throne of Eternia. Not my finest hour." "Wait, claim to the throne? Do you have more than one brother or has Adora been a princess the whole time?" Catra stated, something dawning in the back of her mind. "Yes, she is second in line for the throne of Eternia." Adora blinked "Wait I'm a princess princess and not just a princess?"
"I was unaware you could be more than a princess, is this an Etherian thing?" Skeletor looked between the pair "Well being She-ra means I'm a princess, but I don't have to rule anything or do much Princessey stuff, a princess princess would have to right?" "Everything you just said made no sense, anyway its not like your parents even know your alive, they thought I killed you years ago." the skeletal face waved off the notion. "What?!" "I put you through the portal to Despondos." "You did what?" "I sent you here, my plan was to get both you and brother and Randor but I didn't have the time, because your mother shot me." Adora looked at Catra for assurance. "Is that a normal thing for uncles to do?" she asked looking up at the glowing eye sockets. "No. But we are not a normal family by any measure."
"Wait you said they thought I was dead!" Adora blue eyes locked with Skeletor's, the blue skin man had the decency to look sheepish at that. "I've been trying to tell Randor of the destruction of Despondos and Horde Prime for the past 3 hours. I apparently have a plan to conquer Eternia from the otherside of the galaxy." Catra raised an eyebrow "Do you?" "No! I've just got out of being executed! Even I have my limits of making schemes!" Catra scoffed "Really, can't work all the angles at once, how sad." Skeletor rolled his eyes at that. "I did manage to steal this- pulling out a horde issue binder from his cloak- Catra Applesauce Meowmeow, now Ms Meowmeow do you want to explain the time you were sent to the Crimson Waste?" "Not especially." Skeletor shrugged "On another note, very interesting strategy 'Control She-ra with Entrapta's' technobabble technobabble, skipping ahead 3 paragraphs describing in painstaking detail how Adora would destroy her 'Princess Pals' and the 'Arrow Boy' to 'then keep her as my own personal slave after I conqueror the world'."
Catra mewled in a mixture in embarrassment and regret, hands covering her face. Adora snatched the file from Skeletor, glaring at him. He smiled back at them, "I may have scheme a little since then, but everything on this planet is so- he gaged slightly- nice. It's like every villain or thug on this planet has been abducted an moved somewhere else." Skeletor sighed, "Honestly all the pastel colours are starting to give me a headache." Catra followed his gaze round the room, before Skeletor moved towards the waterfall, why was their a waterfall in this room? "And what is the point of this, showering?!" "No I eerrr, still haven't figured out what it's for?" Skeletor gave a look to the pair. "Also where are the poster, the decorations! This place look like a prison cell!" "No that's er down the hall." Adora smiled weakly "Is it the spare room?" "Yes." Both Catra and Skeletor made a horrified noise, Catra's was a hiss of disapproval and Skeletor's was a 'MMMuuurrrr'.
"Also what's a poster?" Adora asked, Skeletor massaged his tempts at that "Four-eyes if you weren't already dead I'd kill you again." he muttered before drawing a dark purple circle in the air, with a flick of the wrist it when sailing into the wall, it hissed for a second before changing into a picture of some kind, with Swift Wind on it? and the words 'Just call for Help' underneath the horses smiling mug. "That is a poster." he then noticed the large weapons rack on the very far side of the room, he decided to move forwards past that. "Do they all come with Swifty on them?" "No, its and example" he then regarded the room again.
"So you are now a quitter?" he question Catra, the catgirl gave him a look "A quitter?" "A reformed villain!" "I mean, I don't think I was ever a villain." she looked at Adora who looked away slightly coughing "You were quiet villainous." Catra frowned. "Well I'm not anymore." "Of course not!" Adora kissed the top of her head. Skeletor rolled his eye sockets at the display of affection. Looking at the sun for a moment the skeletal features frown.
"And with that I should be going. I have places to be, planets to conquer full of unsuspecting Horde Clones." Skeletor stated, turning to the waterfall, "How are you gonna leave that way, the doors over there?" stated Catra, pointing lazily with a thumb. Skeletor smiled again "I don't need doors, I'm the master of the dark arts!" he boasted before stepping through the waterfall, disappearing into his own reflection. Both Catra and Adora blinked, before his head came back out "Also my dear niece and her significant other and or pet, can't tell, expect visitors, your father and mother will probably coming looking for you in the not to distant future." Adora blinked "Okay... will you visit as well?" "When is least convenient yes."
Before either Catra or Adora could react he was gone again, this time in a splash of water as his fist shattered the reflection in the water fall, the splash not touching the floor only the pair, who stared dumbfoundedly at empty space. "Adora. I am going to kill your uncle." Catra finally said after a minute of silence and processing. "Wait did he say I had a brother as well?"
