Catras POV:
"Prime is dead? That can't be... right?" While faced with something i always would imagine in my Future, my own mind refuses to believe it vehemently. The News reported that his Body had been found, just hours ago, in a Alley in Downtown Mystacore, shot to Death by an unknown Assailant.
While Adora hugs me after reading the Headline and Lonnie shouts "HA got what he deserved", all my mind was capable of doing was denying that this is real. Removing myself from the Hug, i sit on the Couch and think about the timing of his Death. it fit to well
"What's wrong babe? It's over. He's gone. I thought you'd be happier about that fact"
I want nothing more than to tell her that she is right and that we finally could have a life together...but i can't. The timing is just too perfect for me to buy it "Adora, chill. We don't know if this is real"
"What do you mean?" she says, sitting down beside me
"We raid his shit and he drops dead the very next day? Yeah of course, any minute now, my Mom walks through the door, telling me she had Amnesia for the past 18 years and Mara calls you, seconds later, to tell you she won the Lottery" Adora deadpans but lets me finish "and then it's gonna rain Bourbon outside and i grow wings....forgive me if i do not believe in such coincidence, Adora"
"Catra you...wait, do you mean he faked his death or that the Headline is fake?"
"Maybe both? I mean, faking your death is not that easy unless you ca..." It hit me like lightning. Li! Her existence alone proves that Prime is closely involved with cloning experiments. The Technology has made incredible advances in the past few years and with enough Money, it's not out of the question that he cloned himself in order to have an out, in case he ever gets caught. But proving this will be close to impossible for us. I consider telling the others my theory and can already see them look at me like i'm crazy "Let's wait for DT, maybe they know more"
Said Lizard arrives 20 minutes later, looking tired af "See the News?" they ask, seemingly relieved to get out of their Tux jacket
"Yeah we just saw. It's awesome right?" Lonnie shouts
"Is it?" DT remarks "I'm not sure if i like it" they say, surprising us all
"Why? Fucker is dead....if i won like 10 mil right now, id still say thats only the second best news i've had today"
DT sighs "You know what...you are right. Let's get to Bed and we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay? I need a shower desperately"
As they walk out I follow them "Hey, can i talk with you for a sec?"
Adora watches us leave and I flash her a wink, which earns me a sweet smile and I know she will try to give us some time to talk, should anyone look for us. Outside on the Balcony overlooking the Gardens, DT lights a Cigarette "I think i know what you want to talk about, Kitten"
"We are on the same wavelength a lot after all. No way in hell he kicked the bucket that easy or that convenient for us. What's your best guess?"
"For now, i assume he faked it, but i'm not sure how since usually you don't find a Corpse in such cases"
"Okay...so please don't think i'm insane.."
"to late for that, i'm afraid" they say, grinning from Ear to Ear
"..Haha...i... i think he killed a Clone of himself"
DT drops the Nicotine stick out of their Mouth and stares at me, wide Eyed "Catra...i'd kiss you if i was into that shit" they say, hitting themself on their Head
