I was drunk, okay

Guests

(Heyo)

Catra's POV

I woke up to the familiar feeling of little miss hangover attempting to cave in my skull. As I practically fell out of bed (how the hell did I get here), I heard something from the main room, from what I could make out, it sounded like Scorpia quietly panicking, Entrapta sounding more serious than usual, Double Trouble clearly a little panicky themselve and what sounded like crying. Slowly I made my way to my door and opened it. I was greeted by the sight of Scorpia staring at me, panic evident on her face, Double Trouble on the couch attempting (and failing) to calm someone who was currently crying their eyes out, and Entrapta who was currently examining an almost identical looking person laying unconscious on her work table. A thousand questions were racing through my mind but I was only able to muster one. "What the FUCK IS GOING ON".

(Earlier in the alley)

Entrapta's POV

I was forcefully pulled into the alley by the stranger and towards the man lying motionless on the floor. "Please I beg of you, help my brother", begged the stranger clasping my hands together with theirs. I stood their for a second just looking between the stranger and the man on the floor, slowly I removed my hands from the stranger and knelt by the body, slowly as if he'd suddenly wake up if I performed any sudden movements, I touched his neck and sighed a little in relief to feel a pulse, "okay well he's alive that's good, shouldn't you take him to a hospita-" "NO", the stranger shouted, I flinched and backed away slightly causing them to quickly take a breath "I'm sorry for my outburst, but I'm afraid we cannot see a doctor, brother does not trust anyone to help us and besides that we barely have any money as it is. I'm sorry that I've roped into are mess, but please I beg of you help my brother", tears once again began to well in the strangers eyes "I can't go on without him, this world is so frightening and new and I barely know anything about it, my brother has always helped me, it's fair to say I would likly be long dead if he were not here. I'm sorry I can't tell you more but I will if you help him. Please. He is all I have left". I sat there stunned for a good few seconds, I wasn't sure what to do, my basic instincts told me to run away and not look back, but looking at the tear filled face of the stranger, the desperation in their bright green eyes and the one on the floor not looking as if they would live to see the morning if not helped, I sigh and look back at the stranger, "alright I'll help, but we should at least get him somewhere for me to have a proper look, my place isn't far, we can go there", I said as the strangers eyes lit up. Whipping the tears from their eyes they stood up a hopeful smile across their face, "thank you so much, you have my deepest thanks", they said, grabbing their brother and putting their arm around him in order to carry him. "Please lead the way".

(Back to present)

Catra's POV

I sat on a chair sipping my coffee (which Scorpia had made to keep herself preoccupied) as Entrapta finished recounting the story. I slowly looked to the one on the couch who had thankfully stopped crying. They were very tall and their skin was the palest I'd ever seen, they were thin and it looked like what they had been able eat had been few and far between, but what really stood out was their green eyes, they looked almost. Unhuman .

Authors POV

The stranger lifted their head up to look at Catra, sensing the girls eyes on him for quite some time. Catra merely returned their glance with a glare satisfied when the stranger tensed a bit and quickly looked back down again. Double Trouble, clearly sensing the silent tension made an attempt to break it, "so dear, how's are patient" they asked, practically begging for any form of noise that wasn't either Scorpia anxiously shuffling her feet or Catra's occasionally sips from her coffee, "well thankfully the medicine we gave him seems to have calmed his temperature and breathing and his vitals are returning to their normal rate" said Entrapta looking at the machine she had made a while back when Catra had gotten sick herself. "though there's no real way of telling when he'll wake up without given his brain a once over, though if I had to guess probably not to lo-" Entrapta was cut off by the arm of the person on the table grabbing her by the throat as their eyes shot open. They quickly stood up and observed the room in a panicked rage as they looked at Entrapta with their red eyes, "WHO ARE YOU, ARE YOU ONE OF THEM" they shouted lifting Entrapta up thanks to their enormous height. Entrapta attempted to weakly choke out a response but the hand around her neck held tight, "I SAID ARE YOU ONE OF PRI-AAAAAH" the man was cut off by Catra slashing them in the back causing them to drop Entrapta while they attempted to grip the area. "Brother please calm down, are you okay" said the stranger moving from the couch to their brother as Double Trouble rushed to help Entrapta up and see if she was all right. Catra quickly moved in front of both Entrances and Double Trouble, staring as the red eyed one returned her glare, "all right spill it, who the hell are you both" said Catra already prepared to attack if she had to. The green eyed one helped their brother to their feet as they kept their eyes on Catra. "I can ask you the same, why am I here and what do you plan to do with us" they demanded in a stern and fierce tone, "um hi" said Scorpia waving a bit as the red eyed man moved their themselves to faces her, "so um I know your likely really confused, which is understandable, considering you just woke up in a random room with your brother and a bunch of strangers ha, so uh basically are friend Entrapta, the one you were strangling a minute ago, uh found you and your brother in an alleyway, your brother begged her to help you and they brought you back here where she fixed ya up just like new" said Scorpia anxiously. The red eyed one turned their head to face their brother who had let go of them at this point, "is this true brother" they asked as the other looked away shamefully for a few seconds before replying, "yes brother it is, but please you must understand you looked so close to death and I didn't know what to do and I don't think they are with him-" the green eyed one was cut off by the other "enough, well will talk about this later, for now please go lye down you look very tired, besides I would like to get to know are hosts a little better" they said looking behind them to see Catra glaring at them while Double Trouble helped to stable Entrapta, "but brother I-" the green eyed one was cut off once again by the others glare, "huh very well, but please don't do anything rash, they appear to be good people who are willing to help" they said turning and walking to Scorpia, "um, I hate to be a burden but is their someplace i could rest, I'm feeling a little fatigued" they asked shyly, "oh oh yea sure, you can use my bed come on I'll show you" said Scorpia leading the stranger into another room. The red eyed stranger turned to the three others who were all staring with looks of either anger or worry. "Let me make this clear. I do not wish to spend anymore time here than I must, the second my brother wakes up we are both leaving" they said matter-of-factly, "wait but your illness, you really should stay a little while longer till your in a more stable condition" said Entrapta warily approaching him, "NO, I cannot trust you, for all I know your part of-" they quickly halted themselves, "part of what" pressed Catra, "it is non of your business" they quickly retorted as Catra moved closer as well. "look I want you out of here as much as you want out, but while your here your gonna listen to us and tells why the hell you and your brother seem so paranoid of everyone you see, cause if you don't I'm gonna feel inclined to call the police and see just how well that attitude of yours works with them, especially after I show them the strangle marks on our friend there" said Catra glaring face to face with the stranger now. The two stood locked in an intense staring contest for a few seconds before the stranger finally sighed, silently they made their over to the couch and sat down, "very well, I suppose this will be a good way to see if you really are one of them. Now listen closely to what I'm about to tell you".

A few hours later

Adora's POV

It had been hours since we'd all woken up (which was around one) and I was currently sitting around not having the energy to do anything after last night. Suddenly I heard my phone buzzing (I had switched it to vibrate prematurely before heading out, guessing I probably wouldn't be able to handle the ringtone in the morning), I picked it up to see it was Catra, I smiled a little thinking she must be calling to check up on how I was after the night we had, I quickly answered, "hey Catra" I said smiling a bit having turned her line around on her" Adora" came Catra's voice on the other end, her voice was completely serious with no hint of her usual playful snark to it, my smile quickly faded, "hey what's up".

"Adora you need to come here, NOW"

(Heyo, I am so incredibly sorry for taking so damn long on this, I genuinely hate myself for taking so long, the phrase "you put something off for a day and the next thing you know it's a hundred days later" has never been more true. Anyways thankfully I was able to get a bit more of the plot rolling in this chapter, things are about to get serious, but don't worry they'll still be some light hearted Catradora for ya'll. anyways I'm gonna leave youse with that, again I am really sorry for taking so long, but anyways, till next time).
