Your Fire (Catradora Modern AU) (COMPLETE!)

Chapter 2 : Flame

Adoras POV:

"Hey Catra" i say, turning around. My old friend had not changed whatsoever and other than some singed parts in her Fur she looked unharmed. Her Hair changed tho as it was now shortcut and no longer the untamable mass of near Living matter that once caused her to scream whenever she tried to brush it. Her Eyes still had the same Fire i always admired as a Child and her Body language sill screams confidence, even with her unfortunate situation "Never thought we would meet again like this"

"Tell me about it....i thought i was dreaming when your blonde Hair and ugly mug suddenly appeared out of nowhere" she says with a smirk "Thanks...btw...really you saved our asses"

"Just doing my job...your Kid okay?"

"Yeah...thank fuck for that" she says, looking truely relived

"Their Dad ain't here yet?"

"Ohh right, They ain't mine, long Story...want to grab a coffee? Don't feel like standing here in the middle of a Hospital but i can't leave yet"

"Sure...doubt my boss wants to see me tonight or she might scream at me again"

We make our way to a small kiosk to get some Coffee and a snack. Catra explains that the Kid is actually her Aunt's Child. After she was adopted, she made every effort to reconnect to her Family she always claimed was still around, even though no one believed her for some reason. She found her, years later but her Aunt was already on her Deathbed. "Lung Cancer, end stage...finally found her and just watched her Die" she says in a tone that i can only call depressed

"Damn...i'm sorry"

"Eh that's life for ya....starts out shite and gets worse from there. After I learned that she had a Kid i never knew of, I couldn't let em end up like me so I went to her Parents and offered to take them in. They were glad someone wanted them...fuck the lot of em tho"

"Hmm, that's awesome. Not many would do that"

"It's Family" she says, looking somewhere far away "Family matters" After a short, heavy pause, Catra let out a long breath and took a sip of coffee "so what happened to ye after we all got out?"

"Got adopted at 11, by some awesome people, got into school, Firefighter volunteer and later the Academie. Moved here just Yesterday, believe it or not"

"Hmm talk about a coinkydink....glad to see a familiar face for once" she says and smiled in a way i thought my Heart would stop

"Y-yeah...same here" I stutter "Why did I stutter??" i think

"Heard anything from the others? Found yo Sis yet?"

"Nah....to be honest, i have little hope there. We were to young and she was removed from me to make sure she'd forget asap...maybe it's better like this"

"Bullshit it is...ye're Family, that means something, right?"

"Yeah maybe..to be honest i just have no idea where to even look or if she'd even want me to"

"She would be....18 now, right?"

"Right....probably has a nice life, a Boyfriend or two and has long forgotten me" i say and sip on a far to bitter Coffee. The thought alone was a depressing one, to think that the only Blood i had left in this World, never knew i even existed

With a harsh slap on my shoulder, Catra rips me out of the dark thought "Hey, Chin up...look at us now, never thought we would meet again either so who knows, right?"

"Right" i say with a smile. I had to learn how to smile again after i had my breakdown and to this day i felt like it was somehow wrong, like i fake something even though it's sincere. "What are you gonna do bout your place?"
