Sunshine (Adora X Reader X Catra)

Taking Control

The bridge door opens and closes in a hum as Adora walks in.

"How's Catra?" I ask.

Adora nervously rambles,

"Good, I think. I j--I keep checking on her, but she's been sleeping for a while, do you think I should check on her again?"

"Adora, you should let her rest." Bow suggests.

"Right, right."

She pauses, then, nervously starts rambling again,
"...But what if she wakes up and needs something?"

Adora begins to walk away.

"I'm j-I'm just gonna go check on her--"

Glimmer blocks her path sternly.

"No, no, no, you're right. Letting her rest." the blonde let's out a nervous chuckle.

Glimmer taps Adora lightly with her fist.

"Come on, guys. We faced Horde Prime and made it out alive."

Bow happily replies,
"I honestly cannot believe it worked."

"Plus, She-Ra's back!" Glimmer hugs Adora as she chuckles slightly.

"How did you do that without the sword?" I ask.

"I don't know. I just...suddenly felt her again. Like she'd never left. Like she's been in there all along just waiting to come out..."

She quickly blurts out,
"I just have no idea how to do it again."

"You'll figure it out. What's important is that she was there when your friends needed her." Glimmer states.

"Well, friends, and one person who threw me off a cliff once, but sure." Bow adds.

"Oh, I can't believe we're finally going home!" the Queen hugs onto Bow.

A boom as the ship shakes, and Adora yells as she loses her balance.

Bow scolds Glimmer,
"Steering!"

Glimmer lets  go of him.

"Oh, sorry! Sorry."

Bow a screen boops in front of him as he presses it.

"With Darla damaged, our speed's at 30 percent. If Entrapta can't fix it, it will take us a while to get there."

"As long as we're headed towards home and away from Horde Prime...I'm happy. We deserve to celebrate..."

Glimmer excitedly adds,
"I'm going to make us a special dinner for tonight!"

"You? ...I have never seen you cook before." I reply.

Glimmer chuckles slightly, then exhales a tone that falters,
"...You know what? Wrong Hordak can help. I bet he knows a lot about cooking."

Wrong Hordak rambles about food and whatnot.

A slight pause as me, Bow and Adora watch them leave.

"...I'm gonna go check on Catra again!" Adora quickly runs after them out the door as it hums closed.

"Adora, wait!" I go after her.

Catra gasps awake, panting; she groans and puts her hands to her head, the door hisses open and she screams in fear.

Adora, who is startled at first, then attempts to be calming, says,
"Hey! Hey, it's just me."

Adora walks over and half-sits on the side of the bed as Catra gulps in some air and then groans, rolling over to face away from Adora.
