Sitting with Glimmer and Bow, Adora nervously tapped her foot, they had five minutes until the trials began, five minutes until they could possibly be replaced.
"Adora it's fine, you're the best tumbler we have, and our captain, there's no way she'll replace you." Glimmer said, smiling reassuringly at the scared blonde.
"Glimmers right, our whole squad is amazing, there's no way the Horde would ever compare."
———
"Spoke to soon?" Bow whispered as they watched the Horde students try outs, gulping nervously as his eyes flicked back and forth.
Adora nodded, wringing her hands tightly, they were a lot better than she remembered, Catra especially, her tumbling and jumps near perfection and her flying close behind.
"I'm sure it's fine Adora, we're still better than them, we got this." Glimmer whispered, as their own team started their try outs.
They did not have this, two of her team members fell over in their jumps, one twisted their ankle and ruined the tumbling pass, and another couldn't even stick a basic back tuck.
"Oh god." Adora whispered, mentally scolding herself for not having them prepared, they should have been, with regionals 2 months away they were a mess, with or without the horde students.
"Adora, Glimmer." Angella said, motioning for them to join her in the office.
Siting there in one of the chairs was Catra, her hair pulled back into a high pony and her face sweaty from her try out, which was amazing.
"Catra here was captain of her old squad." Angella said as the captain and co-captain of bright moon sat in the other chairs.
"Catra has convinced me she would bring a lot to our team. I have made the decision that she will take over the co-captain role."
"WHAT." Glimmer shouted, jumping from her chair and glaring daggers at her mom. "Why would you ever give this , HORDE SCUM, my position?"
"It's for the good of the team." Angella whispered, reaching to grab a distressed Glimmers hand.
Glimmer jerked away, running out the door of the office and into Bows arms, who held her tightly as she shook with tears.
"Angella I don't understand," Adora said, standing to meet the tall woman's gaze. "Glimmers a great captain."
Her coach sighed, looking at Catra, who at least had the heart to look guilty.
"But Catra," she locked eyes with Adora, indicating her decision was now final. "Catra will help us win."
