Chapter Text
Tears were running down her face as she ran. She wasn’t exactly sure where she was going, she just needed to get out of there. It was too much to bear, seeing Adora’s old cot, her old locker, the drawings and scratches that vandalized parts of the Fright Zone; everything here reminded Catra of her Adora. She was still running blindly as she ran headfirst into a wall. Er, a person. She looked up, and her eyes met two soft brown ones.
“Whoa! You okay there lil buddy?” The giant scorpion Force Captain dusted off Catra’s shoulders and chuckled. The stranger sported bright white hair and a compassionate smile. Catra blushed a bright red, but it was hidden in the darkness. She nodded, appearing small and vulnerable. “Com’ere.” She said, patting a ledge for her to sit on. Catra sat down, and curled her tail between her body. “I’m not going to ask if you’re okay, cause that’d be a little redundant.” They both chuckled as Catra wiped away a remaining tear.
She shivered violently, prompting the other soldier to take off her jacket and place it in the catgirl’s shoulders. “Do you wanna talk about anything?” She asked gently. “Nah”, came the simple answer. They sat in silence, watching the night sky, devoid of much light, yet still beautiful. Eventually, Catra, exhausted by her emotions fell asleep. Her head rested on the other girl’s shoulder, comfortable for the first time in days.
