"So, you're offly quiet Cub.... did I get your tongue?" Catra mocks teasingly as she traces her tail up and down my leg

"No.... I'm trying to think how am I going to stop Glimmer from murdering a certain Kitty...." I snapped back a little too hardly, more than I intended

".....And stop with the tail.... Please" I say with less venom. She stops

"Well you look mad... Why?.... It's not like I have anything better to do. And you are the only one who would not scream angrily at me" she places her head on my shoulder and looks at me curiously

"I'm not.... I'm just...." I start and sigh, looking way and then back at her

"....You want to talk? Fine!.....Did you plan to kidnapped me at the princess prom? Was it your idea?" I ask weakly yet harshly and I feel her body tensed. She looks away sadly

"No.... I didn't, my plan was just to take Sparkles and Arrow Boy..." she sighs regretfully before looking back at me with guilt

"......You were never supposed to be taken but.... I tried to.." there was so much misery and regret in her gaze that I felt the need to stop her

"To stop me. I remember... Shaking your head when Adora told me to find Glimmer...." I say to her. Her eyes soften gratefully at my words. I remember her terrified eyes looking down at me after Shadow Weaver....

"....I remember you calling my name, when I was...." I whisper quitely but couldn't find the strength to finish saying it

I remember everything, the room, the shackles, the agonizing pain, the wicked pleased laughs of Shadow Weaver as she tortured me. I remember the paralysing fear that devoured me through all of it. How miserably alone I felt. How desperately I wanted someone to safe me, or just be there by my side when my body gave out and die. Someone to hold my hand so I wouldn't die alone and afraid

Then, she was there. Calling out to my name with so much worry. Picking up my body against hers and I didn't feel so alone. I was safe in her arms, I knew. She was the reason I held onto to stay. The light through that terrifying darkness Shadow Weaver buried me under, the darkness I don't think I wouldn't have been brave enough to fight back if there wasn't someone waiting for me on the other side

".....Thanks.... For letting Adora take me away....." I could've re-frase it better, thank her for being there, for worrying. She looks at me surprise

"......I'm guessing that was Catra and not Force Captain" I smile teasingly, lighting up the mood. There was still some tension in her body that slightly reals at my comment. Smiling gratefully she says

"Of course.... But also Shadow Weaver shouldn't have done that.... She crossed the line" there was anger in her voice, but also understanding and right there I realized that she went through that, that Shadow Weaver hurt her, maybe not the same way she did with me but she hurt her in others unthinkable ways and she was hiding it all behind a normal confident teasing smile. I didn't hate Shadow Weaver more than I hate her now

"Are you going soft on me Kitty?" I tease. Not letting her see what I realized, she wouldn't want to talk about it and I didn't want to push. Smiling wider, she snorts happily

"HA!! You wish Cub" she bemused and I feel her tail wrap around my stomach caringly

"I think you are...." I tease again, causing her to snort loudly and to m delighted surprised the cutest purr escapes her lips, sadly she stopped herself right after but I wasn't going to let it pass

"....Did you just purr?" I ask mockingly, but honestly surprise that she actually can purr

'she is half cat idiot, how did you think she was going to do?.....say mooo?'
