Leaving The Past

reunions pt 1

"mom?"

Catra took a step forward before freezing in place, suddenly remembering what she had done to get to beast island to begin with.

Mom must be so mad, coming all this way.

She thought, after all she had stolen a boat and the family heirloom, not to mention she had hit her sister.

C'yra's expression was unreadable as she continued to walk toward Catra, who had decided to just accept whatever was to come and tried to brace herself the best she could, although she couldn't help but close her eyes when C'yra was within reaching distance.

To her surprise however, besides being struck, Catra found herself being pulled into a nearly crushing hug.

"Foolish girl...What were you thinking? Were you trying to get yourself killed?"

When She spoke, C'yra's voice faltered and Catra could smell the salt riddled scent of tears.

"I had to do something mom...I couldn't let them die." Catra managed to respond as she returned the hug, nuzzling against her mother, who just sighed and pressed a kiss into her hair.

"You should have told me...I would have sent real warriors with you."

Neither of them had noticed Prima coming over to them.

"She is a real warrior, C'yra."

Catra could feel C'yra stiffen at the sound of Prima's voice.

"Mother...What the hell are you doing here?"

Catra pulled away then, reaching for C'yra's hand.

"Mom, don't. You need to hear her out...Please. I know it isn't easy….I known you were hurt but….It's for the best. She's family and aren't Magi-Cats loyal to those they are close to?" Catra said, hoping she wasn't crossing a line, however C'yra just sighed.

"Fine...Only for you I will talk with her….alone. it's late and you look ready to fall over...go to sleep."

C'yra responded, leaning down and kissing her again before saying "I love you Catra, remember that. We will talk about everything that has happened later but right now I'm just glad you're safe."

Catra didn't notice Adora or Swift Wind hovering overhead or she would have been more discreet with her affection toward her mom.

"I love you too."

As soon as those words had left her mouth, Catra heard a laugh followed by a familiar voice saying "so you do have a heart." which caused her to bristle and nearly jump a meter backward.

"Adora! What the hell? How long have you been there and since when did you get a horse?" She exclaimed, earning a laugh from C'yra and Prima and a snort of annoyance from Swift Wind.

"Excuse me, I am my own horse!"

Of course Adora not only has a flying Unicorn of all things but the damned thing can talk! She thought, feeling the familiar tug at her mind as Silver Storm's mind linked with hers.

"You are annoyed, do you wish for me to help? "

The elegant voice asked, causing her to sigh.

" No. Adora is a fr…..It's complicated but this is how we've always interacted."

She thought back before glaring up at Adora.

"Shut up and mind your own business."
