'CatraCatraCatra'= (my) thoughts
Catra's Pov
Catra awoke with a start from her sleep her face panicked from the recent nightmare. 'those have been getting worse' Catra grimanced as she got her bearings back trying to remember where she was and what happened. 'Did I end up getting drunk and ended up in jail or something?' Catra probably would have kept going to worse and worse scenarios if she didn't remember suddenly 'Riight got captured by those idiotic rebels' she got up some stretching before looking around for what to do next. It took about two seconds to realize there was nothing else to do but sit around. She sat down with a sigh this was so boring! Catra wondered what everyone else was doing right now, Scorpia, Entrapta, even what she was doing. She shook her head quickly trying to not think about the latter, that led to a huge mess that she didn't need to think about right now. Catra need a distraction, but that just brought her back to square one. Catra sighed again, waiting wasn't her thing she needed to move, to get free. Catra jumped up that is what she needed to do, find a way to escape and get free! 'but..? how do I do that?' Catra once again sat down and groaned.
Adora's Pov
By this time Adora was finishing her morning jog already, trying to think of anything other than Catra and it wasn't working. Everything she did to get her thoughts off Catra somehow went straight to her! On one hand it was a nuisance on the other she was completely stressed over it all. She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't even notice she was at the doorway to her room, until she past it at least. Shaking out of her thoughts she quickly went back to her room to go freshen up from her jog. By the time Adora was finished she was fully clean and dressed there was a knock on her door, through the door she heard Glimmer's voice "Hey Adora! My mom wants you for something so hurry up and get ready!" after that she could hear footsteps walking away. With a sigh and a face of resign knowing what the Queen probably wanted Adora got up grabbed her things. She quickly opened the door chasing after to join Glimmer in the throne room.
As she made walked inside she noticed Glimmer there as well as Bow and obviously some Royal guards. With a greeting to them all Adora looked at the Queen for what was to come. "Adora, I brought you here to talk about the problem that occurred at the party yesterday. I honestly don't know what to do with her, we need her information on the Horde but we aren't exactly people who are good at extracting information" the Queen said getting to the point and putting an emphasis on extracting "That's why we were wondering if you could do it" the look of shock and horror on Adora's face made the Queen realize how she worded that " Oh! heavens no! I meant that you could get the information..." she trailed off looking to Glimmer and Bow for help. Bow stepped forward albeit hesitantly "What she means is that maybe you could convince her to give us information or to join us. Ex-Horde soldier to Horde soldier, and maybe the friendship between you two might help...?" Bow's voice got quieter and quieter as he spoke due to Adora's piercing gaze. "Fine, but I don't know if I can do it, Catra can be... difficult" Adora didn't notice everyones breath be released from the anticipation and fear, sure she was loyal to the rebellion but like cmon? She can turn into about a 8ft tall lady with a sword who is called the princess of power. The Queen looked like she was gonna sigh again but instead just looked at Adora"Well I guess that can't be helped j-just try your best and we can see what comes of it. The royal guard will show you the way to the horde soldier"
As the Queen got up and left all the guards but one stayed. Adora looked at Bow and Glimmer, "Are you two coming with me?" Glimmer looked at her "Ah, no we were gonna help the other princesses get ready to leave" "And this seems more like a you kinda thing Adora" Bow said pitching in his two cents. He was still elbowed harshly on the arm by Glimmer as she spoke "Not helping" the smile she had was very fake. Before Adora could reply Glimmer grabbed Bow and teleported. Adora slumped a little before motioning the guard to lead the way, the guard gave a small pity glance before walking.
Narrator's Pov oh that's me
The dungeon was surprisingly pretty clean for a dungeon albeit looking pretty old and un-used. Adora was brought out of her musing when she looked up to almost running straight into the now stopped guard. Looking past the guard she saw a cell like the rest with Metal bars at the front. What really caught her attention was the figure huddled into a corner. Adora swallowed her spit before getting enough courage to go up to the cell door, once the guard unlocked the cell door for Adora she walked in before turning and thanking the guard. All she got in return was quiet nod before the guard walked further down the hall to not impose on conversations but still in range to easily help Adora if needed. Adora turned to a blue and yellow piercing gaze staring at her on the inside she slightly flinched while on the outside she kept a stone face. Thus the talking began..
"Well well well it looks like I'm oh so blessed with being in the presence of the almighty She-ra." The whole sentence was laced with very obvious sarcasm and the word She-ra had so much poison in it that it could kill a elephant in an instant. With Catra sitting with her knees up to her face and arms hugging her legs close together she observed Adora. Catra didn't move from her position as Adora went and sat opposite of Catra, 'closer to the door' Catra thought still staring. Although unseen due to her knees covering most of her face Catra smirked, 'Good, even in this stupid cell she's still warry around me'.
"Well what do you want? Or are you just here to gloat over your win?"
"You know I don't do that Catra" and it was true throughout Adora's life she never really boasted about her wins. Celebrated sure but who wouldn't do that.
"I don't know people can change" With the accusing tone and stare Adora understood the real message, You've changed
"Just because somethings happened doesn't mean people always change" Adora replied with her counter, Just because I joined the rebels doesn't mean I've changed
Catra's only reply to that was a snort while rolling her eyes. suure. "Just get to the point what do you want" Still Catra wasn't an idiot she knew exactly what Adora wanted/needed. What she wanted though was to see how Adora would go about to get it. Adora sighed, "I'm here to get information on the Horde pretty much any to everything." Catra's eyes squinted as she otherwise showing no reaction, 'Adora was always pretty blunt about things' "Maybe even actually convince you to join us, join me.." Now her eyes widened in surprise 'she still wants me to join her!?' She would have responded if she didn't realize Adora started rambling.
"-nd we even have these really big fluffy beds that try to suck you in, even if they can explode into a bunch of feathers. And-"
"Adora! Adora your rambling" Catra couldn't stop the laugh looking at Adora's face as she realized what she was doing. "Also why would I help you anyways? I have a good thing going in the horde" She huffed going criss cross while also crossing her arms "I'm a force captain, shadow weaver is gone, and I guess I have Scorpia and Entrapta." Both pairs of eyes widened Catra instantly covered her mouth even if she knew it wouldn't help.
"Wait! Entrapta! So that means she's still alive! How? When? What?" Adora started firing off questions about Entrapta while Catra just sat there. Eventually Adora slowed down to ask another question.
"Why didn't she come back the rebellion?" Adora had this confused curious expression while concentrating hard to think about it. Catra looked amused staring at Adora, 'She looks kinda cute like that' Catra blinked owlishly at what she thought before looking back to see Adora asking her the same question again.
She snorted, "Ya Adora because if someone was left behind and abandoned by her friends she would instantly wanna go straight back to them." The roll of her eyes was another thing that showed the sarcasm in the sentence.
"We didn't leave her behind! They said Entrapta went back for that robot and got caught in one of the doors that instantly burnt everything in there." Adora was confident but she started to doubt herself a little from Catra's stare.
"Adora. If someone told me you died do you think I wouldn't make sure that it was true or at least find out more about what happened? From the looks of what I was told, you felt bad on the way home then brushed it off and went back to your perfect little life with your new friends. I wonder if it'd be the same if I was the one who got left behind.. Oh wait that already happened" Adora flinched from the dead tone and stare "Just get out of here Adora your not making anything better for yourself." With that Catra turned around and laid down showing that she was gonna ignore her. Adora went to protest but stopped with a frown before getting up taking one last looked at Catra, "I'll talk to you later." with that the door closed and adora followed the guard that led her out of the dungeon.
Adora's Pov
'That did not go as planned or well, at all.' Adora thought as she absent mindedly followed the guard leading her away from the dungeon. Eventually she realized the guard had taken her more near the rooms than back to the Queen to report what information she could gain. She looked up to the guard who she noticed stopped and was turning to leave, catching the guards eye she then asked the question on her mind "Aren't I going to report what I learned to the Queen?" The guard fully turned to look at her "No, you didn't notice because you were deep in thought but it is pretty late outside. Most people are resting as we speak, Go to bed and report to the Queen tomorrow" With that the guard left and there was mostly silence. Eventually Adora was there laying in her bed 'Well, I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings me' With fleeting thoughts of a certain prisoner Adora slowly fell asleep.
After doing her morning routine Adora stepped out of her room ready for the day while heading to report to the Queen of what she learned. She walked in passing the guards near the door walking in on all of her friends in the throne room talking and hanging out. She blinked for a bit before she walked up to Bow, "What's everyone doing in the throne room?" Bow jumped a bit not realizing Adora was there "Hey Adora, we are here because we are all saying bye to everyone." With that Bow turned away and went to talk to Perfuma. "Say goodbye?" Adora murmured looking slighty confused before she remembered 'Right today is the day everyone is heading home' she facepalmed. 'Guess I'll say bye' with that she went to talk firstly to Mermista and Sea Hawk, "Hey I just remembered you guys were leaving today. Had to make sure I said bye before you left." Sea Hawk instantly stepped forward "Yes! Fair well thee friend but we shall meet again!" after that Mermista looked sideways with her arms crossed " Ya see you later and whatever" as usual she kept her bored tone the whole time. Sea Hawk rapped his are around Mermista, "C'mon my dear let us say goodbye to the rest of our friends!" with that Sea Hawk dragged Mermista away as she sighed, " Uuugh whatever.." then they were back in the crowd.
Adora blinked before she walked over to Perfuma who looked like she just finished talking to Bow if him walking away was anything to go by. "Hey Pefuma how is it going?" Perfuma turned to look at her "Oh Adora it's just wonderful! I haven't seen you around here until now, where were you? "Oh well uhm I was worrying about something late and night and in the morning I just completely forgot about you guys leaving today." "Worrying oh that's not good for your zen Adora you should meditate to help, it might even clear your mind of whatever is worrying you. What is making you worried anyways?" "Oh right well-" they were interrupted by the sound of a fork hitting a glass.
The two looked over to the source of the sound like everyone else to see Glimmer and Bow standing there about to speak. Glimmer stepped forward "Ehm now that we have everyone's attention we want to start off by thanking everyone for being here to say goodbye for now to the princesses leaving after helping with the defense of Brightmoon." Then Bow stepped forward to finish what Glimmer was saying "We also wanted a small moment of silence for Entrapta and for losing her" While most people went quiet remembering the energetic girl Adora had other thoughts.
'What? but Entrapta is still alive... oh right forgot to tell everyone. Well guess now is a good time as any' Adora though before she went interrupting the quiet moment. She spoke a little louder than needed getting everyones attention fast "Uhm actually Entrapta is still alive" It was quiet before the loud sounds of "WHAT?!" and other shouting happened.
After everyone quieted down Adora went to explain, "The.. horde soldier accidently let loose some information that Entrapta was alive." Perfuma took a step forward to ask a question "But were is she now then?" "Well she's working with the horde right now" Adora replied remembering the conversation she had with Catra. While this happened in Adora's mind everyone else's was in a loop, Glimmer asked trying to get the conformation everyone needed "Wait she works for the horde now?" after getting a nod from Adora the questions started. 'is this how Catra was when I asked these questions' she thought looking at everyone firing off questions faster than you could say Hordak. After everyone finally went to a slow Adora shuffled nervously as she realized everyone was staring at her. 'Most of these question are probably what I asked Catra, so i'll just say what she said' Adora thought but tweaked part of it 'maybe make it seem like a it was less harsher than when Catra said it though' with the final thought she spoke. "Well uhm Entrapta was made to believe that we left her or something" Adora was still shuffling on her feet her voice getting awkward and quiet. It was quiet again before everyone started shouting again, honestly Adora was a little scared and uncomfortable thinking everyone was yelling at her.
Eventually the noise cut down as the Queen(does anyone know her actual name?) spoke from behind Adora two guards near her, "While this news is troubling I believe we should stop yelling at young Adora for something she has no control over" As the Queen said this she put a supportive hand on Adora's shoulder. While people went quiet after that it was mostly due to everyone basically thinking the same thing 'When did she get here?' they all simultaneously thought. "It's been a nice goodbye party with a surprising bout of information but I think it is time for you ladies to leave, les you become late." The Queen spoke once more making everyone remember why they were there in the first place. With that everyone went back to gather there things to leave Bright Moon, they did say they were going to leave today.
After a while Adora was there waving goodbye to her friends as they left still trying together over all the things that have happened recently. 'Catra, Entrapta, and everyone leaving... I wonder what is gonna be next' With that she walked back inside intent on talking to her friends about the recent information and more than likely going to see Catra again.
done after like over 9000 hours. Anyways sorry again for updating like weeks/a month later. I pretty much rushed this fic, should've thought it through more probably... O'Well
I'm thinking next chapter will have a lot more Catra confrontation maybe some more. Also should I do lemons? or like small/partial ones or just no? I'm fine either way honestly.
Alright guess I've talked enough, signing off Ja Ne!
