A/N: this is an AU where Glimmer and Catra aren't taken by Horde Prime.

"Remind me again why we're allowing Double Trouble to stay here," Adora asked as Glimmer gave them a tray of food.

"Let's say, they're not really as loyal to Catra as we thought they were." The queen said.

"Also let's say I helped you in your own sob story. Catra is an utter mess and I would highly suggest that you strike at her now. At this point, she wouldn't care about what happens to her now." Double Trouble smirked.

"They're right; when I was with Catra, she didn't even care about me trying to strike her."

"You were going to what?" Adora asked.

"Darlings, darlings, mustn't fuss over kitten's fate. Your majesty, I promise you. As long as we have each other, nothing really bad can happen." Double Trouble smirked, removing their eye mask to wink at Adora.

"W-What did you say?" Adora's voice squeaked.

"May I please ask for the queen to give us a moment of privacy?" They looked at Glimmer with a menacing grin.

"Why would I-?" Glimmer was interrupted by Adora.

"Glimmer, it's ok. If they try anything, I got it handled." Adora moved a hand in front of Glimmer. Glimmer glared at the shapeshifter and teleported out of the room. Adora raised her dagger towards Double Trouble's neck. "Alright, talk! Who told you that?"

"On how I betrayed Catra? I told her it was for her own good; it was merely a shove."

"Don't play dumb with me! Where did you hear the words when you promised Glimmer?"

"Oh, that! Catra may have slipped a little something about a promise you made her when you were wee munchkins. Was I not supposed to promise anything? I only want my dearest cousin to worry."

"Cousin?"

"My goodness, they really taught you nothing in the Horde, haven't they? I almost feel sorry for your below par mind," Double Trouble twirled a piece of their hair. "You should really be thanking me."

"Thanking you?"

"Well, you wanted your precious Catra to come back? You'd never divulge it but you need her. You've always needed her. If you didn't, you would have your lovely queen banish her to a wasteland."

"You think we're letting her stay here because we pity her?"

"Without a doubt, darling. I do wonder how our mistress of evil is doing right now in her cell," Double Trouble turned into a black and green silhouette and a second later, Catra stood with a wide smirk on their-'her' face.

"Let me out of here! You can't keep me in here forever!" Catra shouted. Adora watched in a panic of how accurate Double Trouble looked like her. Catra began falling to the floor, sobbing her eyes out. Her sobs soon began laughter.

Catra looked up at Adora with one eye open and her form disappeared into Double Trouble's.

"By the look on your face, I assume I captured your beloved just right?" They gazed at their nails.
