Authors note: okay, so Beatrix and Hec-tor are basically the (mostly cannon) names that Mattel came up with for Shadow Weaver and Hordak in the original (basically everyone had another name they never really used) So since this is an AU I figured I could use this idea.
"What's wrong with Catra?" Entrapta asked as soon as Scorpia returned to her seat at the table.
"You want the list alphabetically or in order of annoyance?" the taller girl huffed before glancing back over at the blonde that had caused her other friend to just storm out of the room before adding "Catra's just too damn stubborn for her own good."
Entrapa snorted at that, rolling her eyes "What else is new? I mean I haven't known her for as long as you have but even I know how she is. That still doesn't explain what happened." she responded, earning a look.
"Okay, so you know how Catra and I basically knew each other because we basically got stuck living together? Well, if my theory of who Blondie over there is correct I do believe that she used to live with us...although I was usually too busy working odd jobs so I could literally afford to move out when I was old enough to be emancipated to really socialize much."
Scorpia answered as she once again turned her attention to her food, brow furrowing as she thought back on all of that, adding as an afterthought.
"Come to think of it...after she left Catra kinda put even more emotional walls up than normal. I don't know the details of what happened but I do know that it wasn't but a few weeks later that Catra basically got kicked out of the home and ended up on my doorstep."
I moved out a few days after Adora left...and if I know anything about the Weavers, they were probably pissed that their favorite had left. Who knows what they did to Catra, after all, it was snowing the day she showed up at my place, without a coat or much of anything besides the clothes on her back. Scorpia couldn't help but think about that, expression scrunching up slightly as she glanced back toward the blonde, who was currently laughing at something that a pink haired girl said.
I don't even want to know what they did to her...But if they were such good friends why did Adora plan to get out of there and leave Catra behind? That doesn't sound like something that Adora would do but then again, she did it.
"How is that legal? I mean I don't know much about that sort of thing but that doesn't sound right." Entrapta snapped Scorpia out of her thoughts by saying, earning a sigh and shrug in response.
"yeah well Beatrix and Hector both had legal pull in a lot of places. Besides you didn't live with them, they weren't the best of people either."
Catra knew this was stupid. That she couldn't just run away like some terrified child forever. But yet, Catra wasn't sure what she should even do. But running away really wasn't then again why should she let anyone see how pathetic she was? It was roughly two years ago! She should have just gotten over it and moved on.
Why can't I just move on? She made her choice! She didn't need me! I guess everyone needs a scapegoat huh? I guess that's all she ever saw in me, someone expendable. I'll show her...I'll show everyone! I will prove that I am somebody! That I am good at something! Even if I have to knock Adora down a peg or two to do it!
She thought as she slowed her pace, finally noticing how far away that she had actually gotten in her attempt to get her mind out of the past.
There's no need to get emotional over shit. I've been through worse than this! I've dealt with Beatrix being a bitch...I dealt with paying for Adora's mistakes as well as my own. But I'll show everyone that I am not who they think I am, I am not some weak, useless, fool with no purpose!
She told herself before debating if she should head back or not, it wasn't like anyone would really give a crap that she had left anyway.
I am my own person...I don't need anyone, even if it does help to have Scorpia around...
