Heir To The Horde ch 7
"Ugh! Why do we have to take these things to Entrapta's place!? We could easily walk there. Ever since Entrapta showed everyone these H.A.C. things or whatever it's practically been the only way the princesses travel. Seriously! They're almost everywhere we go!" Catra complains, "Hey! Are you even listening to me!?" This snaps Scorpia out of her trance, still holding her basket of gifts,
"What? Oh! Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I just can't get over how cute these sweaters are! I knit them myself, I was even able to make a blanket for each twin! It took months to finish, especially with these!" She gestures with her claws. Catra pouts while looking out the window,
"Yeah I know! I was there for most of it! I even had to cheer you up whenever you got frustrated, and you know how hard that is for me." Scorpia blushes,
"Aww! I know, and I appreciate everything you did for me. Oh! Maybe I could make YOU a sweater next!?" Scorpia looks to Catra with a glisten in her eyes and a bright aura radiating off her body.
"I'll hold you to that." Catra responds with a smirk as the doors to the labs open. "Hey Entrapta! Were here to make sure you didn't blow…. WHAT THE FUCK!" Catra's eyes widened in horror and fear seeing Sindri holding a blowtorch. Catra quickly rushed over to Sindri grabbing and separating Sindri from the blowtorch, her heart racing as she scans the room for Entrapta before spotting Entrapta holding Ahriman and a taser.
"Oh hey Catra, why'd you yell? Is everything ok? Sindri didn't light anything on fire again did he?" Entrapta asked in a curious tone causing Catra's eye to twitch as she shakes the blowtorch and looks from it to young Sindri.
"Ohhh, I don't know why I yelled. Maybe it's because I found Sindri with a fucking blowtorch while you're off fuck know's where!" Catra bristled with rage about ready to maw the mother for being so calm watching Entrapta tilt her head in confusion before seeing realization don on her.
"Ohhhh, you thought Sindri was in danger didn't you?" Entrapta said before snorting, only causing Catra's eye to twitch more. "Don't worry, Sindri is fine I've been running tests the past few months and he hasn't been burned, caught fire or anything like that fr.." before entrapta can continue Catra speaks up.
"ARE YOU INSANE WOMAN!" Catra yelled glaring at Entrapta, almost tempted to bash some sense into this supposed genius, but Entrapta only smiled at her words. Scorpia gasped before picking up the charred Adora doll; staring in confusion, a single tear began to form at the edge of her eye after seeing what had happened to her work, "What happened to this?"
"Here I can show you." Entrapta said, handing the doll to Sindri before walking to the side of Catra who was looking at Sindri with a raised brow. She watched as Sindri glared at the doll intently, "Ok Sindri show ol Catra whatcha think of mean ol Adora." With that Sindri growled, his hand and the doll slightly glowing before he threw the doll at the wall and as he did the doll burst into flames as it slammed into the wall. "See Catra? Nothing to worry about becauseeeeee" Catra looked to Entrapta, shock still on her face.
"They have magic!" The words were both exciting and terrifying to Catra. Entrapta's sons had magic "So what can the other one do?" Catra asked cooly but still worried. Entrapta only smiled before looking to the son she held tickling him a little causing him to clap his hands. Catra could notice the sparks of electricity between his fingers, "So ...fire for Sindri...and...lighting for Ahriman." Catra watched as Entrapta nodded smiling, the horror creeping into her, wondering if these two ever wanted to follow in their father's footsteps she doubted Adora could handle them, and even worse, she doubted they'd spare a traitor like her. But her thoughts were quickly interrupted with a sharp pain in her hand, causing her to yelp and look down and see Sindri feeding looking up at her with gentle innocent eyes.
"Don't worry though, I'm teaching them to be safe with their magic and I don't think Sindri or Ahriman would dream of hurting their godmother." At those final words Catra's eyes went wide as her head whipped over to look at Entrapta, shock showing itself like it had been carved into her face. "Shocked? Yeah...I suspected as much, after all the stuff you've done and what you've done to me." Entrapta smiled even wider.
Before Catra could utter a word Scorpia walks up from behind and snatches Catra off the ground and into a tight embrace, "AWW! The twins must really love you if they aren't trying to burn you or shock you to a crisp! Sindri must really trust you, you know, cause he's feeding off your hand and all." Catra desperately tried to break free from Scorpia's grip, no luck; Catra tries to raise her arm in front of Scorpia all while struggling to speak,
"Scorpia...Sindri...still feeding...holding...too tight." Realizing she was holding Catra a little too tight, Scorpia loosened her grip and let Catra back onto the ground,
"Sorry about that. Are you ok? You don't look so good." Catra's knees buckled and landed on her knees,
"Yeah, totally. Just a little light headed…" Entrapta helped Catra up as Sindri finished feeding, now yawning in Catra's arm
"That's probably due to Scorpia's tight hold as well as Sindri probably overfeeding, he's drinking your blood for sustenance while draining your energy to replenish his magic. Did I forget to mention that?" With an annoyed and drained expression on Catra's face, she sighs rubbing her face looking down at the little Sindri, a question nagging at her,
"Why does he feed from me anyway? I don't have magic and I doubt I taste that good." Catra asked, only to see Entrapta smiling,
"Well since you were one of the first people to hold Sindri and Ahriman they consider you Angela, Glimmer and Perfuma sorta like back up moms if something happens to me. It's actually quite genius when you think of it. That's one of the reasons why I made you a godmother."
Shortly after explaining Catra's status to the twins Emily rushes into the room beeping frantically as she informs Entrapta of a new First One's tech site that Entrapta's drone scouts had discovered, "BEEP BOOP BOP BOOP BOOP!" Catra and Scorpia were both confused as to what was happening, so Entrapta gives a very short explanation
"Emily just informed me that some of my scout drones have disappeared, so I'm gonna go out to check things out. Emily! Pack the diapers, get some extra clothes, and bring me my tools! We head out…" Before she could finish Catra cuts her off,
"Hold on a second! You're not actually thinking about taking your kids with you on one of your crazy dangerous expeditions are you!? NO! I don't think so, not on my watch! I'll look after the twins, besides how hard could it be?" Entrapta was baffled at this exclamation and questions Catra,
"Are you sure about that? It's a lot harder than you think and frankly I don't think you could handle both twins on your own." Catra didn't like this, but before she could say a word Entrapta continued, "Though I suppose you do raise a good point, maybe I could have Angela babysit Sindri. Oh, Ahriman can be looked after by perfuma?" Catra frowned at that
"Hey! I may not have kids of my own, but at least I'm not willing to endanger them! And if you think I can't handle BOTH of them than at least let me look after one of them, you know, just so I can show off that it's not as hard as you make it out to be!" Catra blurted out, her face red with embarrassment for acting like a fool, but also for Entrapta saying she couldn't handle it. Entrapta looked deep in thought for a moment before nodding.
"Ok then, if you wanna look after one you can watch after Sindri with Angela." Entrapta smiled and tickled Ahriman making him giggle, "I'll tell her it's for extra protection or incase she gets too tired from his feeding, Sindri can be a bit of a greedy feeder." Entrapta snorted at the thought of seeing Angela tired from Sindri feeding. Catra also smiled looking down at Sindri who was trying to grab at her face but was too far away all while babbling away
"Thanks Entrapta I'll show you I can handle this with no iss.." Catra and Entrapta looked down at Sindri as he babbled
"C-c-cat-catr-a-Catra." both princesses' eyes went wide at the heir's word. Scorpia was squealing in the background and Catra could swear she saw Entrapta's guard robot in the corner of the room shaking violently. Catra's heart skipped a beat as a new sense of pride filled her body, eyes gleaming with joy and a slight understanding why Entrapta entrusted her with being a godmother to the twins,
"That's right Sindri, I'm your godmother Catra." Catra said in a soft kind tone.
