"Adora... can your father and I speak to you? Please?" If you'd asked her three weeks ago, her response would've been: "Suck my dick," As her wife often says to her. But now? Well, she'd calmed down a bit... and been talked to by multiple people, including Teela and her brother, who, annoyingly, spoke the most sense.

"You're super pissed off at mom, aren't you?" Adam said as he took turns casually throwing Freya and Violet into the air, way too high for Adora's comfort, but she had full faith in her brother... ok, maybe 75% faith, but she was quick enough and close enough to catch her if it went sideways. Teela, off duty for a nice change, took charge of babying her nephew, who was more than happy to receive the attention from a new face. Finn was an attention whore like that... and like his feline mother. Both loved being the centre of attention and commanded a room (literally) whenever they walked in... or carried, in Finn's case.

But that's beside the point.

"Super? Maybe. Incredibly? Definitely," She leaned against the water fountain, picking at the traditional dress in irritation. Sure, she was at war with her parents, but she was still respectful. "Think about it from a third-person objective, Dodo," She quirked an eyebrow with an unimpressed glance. "They thought you'd died. When you were taken, and didn't show up on anything for over a decade, they thought you'd died, Dodo. Then, She-Ra shows up five years later, something that doesn't just appear in someone, in an unreachable dimension, I hasten to add, then this massive power surge hits, and She-Ra disappears," Adora tilted her head in thought, seeing where Adam was going with this. "Then Prime kicks off and starts chasing this planet that just suddenly appeared," He pauses to toss Violet high again. "And a few months later, She-Ra comes back, and kills Prime. Then Skeletor starts causing problems here, and they reach out, only to find that the all-powerful She-Ra that they'd asked for help is their long lost daughter of twenty-one years,"

Adora sighed lightly, watching Finn begin to tug on Teela's loose hair. Adam chucked Freya next, then sent the girls off on a mission to find a fruit, which they were both too happy to do. "You then show up, clad with a wife and daughter, heavily pregnant with your second," Adam says a tad gentler. Adora sighed heavily. "They panicked, one could say, to keep hold of you for as long as they could," He took a seat. "Let's be honest, you were never gonna stay here. This isn't your home," Adora huffed once more. "But why lie and ruin our only way home? What if Entrapta got it fixed before I had Finn? What if, because of the delay, I ended up in labour on the ship? It already went wrong, what would've happened if that happened on the ship? They would've lost me then for sure,"

Adam hummed. "Well, being Devil's Advocate, nobody knew what was gonna happen to you," Adora shook her head. "Irrelevant. They screwed up, and now I can't go home for another month at least, which means the others can't either, which means it'll be pushing on nearly five months since Bow and Glimmer have seen their little girl... so it's not just me this affects," Adora reached out to accept the baby as Teela lowered him into her arms. "He's hungry," She smiled softly. Adora pulled the small cape of her dress over (it wasn't a cape at all, it was supposed to be a shawl, but she hated it as a shawl, so it was a cape) her shoulder and tugged her shirt down for Finn to feed. Hopefully, he'd crash after this, giving her the excuse to get the hell out of dodge.

"Adam's a clown, but he's right. Your parents missed you, Adora," Teela's voice sounded close to her left as she took a seat, her gown fanning out at her hips. "And trapping me was the best idea?" She answered, not taking her eyes off of Finn, who suckled as if he'd been starved for the last three weeks of his little life. "Ah, I'm not saying they were right in what they did, or how they did it. Quite the opposite, in fact," Adora glanced over. "When they first broached me with the idea, I refused. I said it was stupid and would only serve in pushing you further away... but your mom was desperate. Your dad was against it too, to start with, but he eventually accepted it... but, Adora... and I don't mean this to guilt trip you, but you should've seen them when they saw it was you who walked out of that ship five months ago,"

And so, she talked to Catra, who agreed she should at least talk to them before they left. "I need to get back for the kids, so you have ten minutes," She conceded, following her mother down the corridor. The walk was silent and awkward. Adora wasn't great at holding grudges, not really. She'd fume and be angry with someone for a few days, but then get over it. When Catra pulled the lever on the portal, she didn't hate her then, neither did she harbour a grudge. All she felt was indifference, a sense of responsibility, almost, to ensure Catra didn't hurt anyone else. There were no feelings, not until she'd heard her voice on Prime's ship all those weeks later. Try as she might, Adora yearned for parents, a mother, who loved her for so long. She wanted to feel indifferent, to make the grudge easier to hold, but she couldn't. It was like her heart just dug its claws into her chest and refused to let go. She'd be angry and hold the rage, but then she'd watch them, from a distance, granted, interact and play with Violet and Finn, as if they'd known them their whole lives... which in Finn's case, technically, they did.

But then she'd get resentful that her kids are having a good childhood with the parents she was stolen from, and the anger would be back. Just like how they tried to steal Vi and Finn from their real home, Etheria.

She rolled her neck with a sigh as Marlena opened the door. "Come in... please,"
