For The Honor of Grayskull (A Catradora Fanfiction)

47 ⚔️ Adora

Once we were back inside the palace, Catra insisted on taking me to the infirmary, despite my statements that I was actually perfectly fine. I supposed that it was nice that she seemed to care so much and I couldn't help but feel warmth flood through my cheeks as I recalled our kiss moments prior. 

"We are going to stop the rest of these robots and I will make sure of it. I am going to help you all out. I'm going to help Adora out," Catra said decisively, as she sat me down upon one of the beds in the infirmary. 

Perfuma then rushed over to me. 

"Adora!" she said, as her deep brown doe-eyes widened slightly, "Are you alright?" she asked me. 

"She'll be fine, Petals. She just needs someone to keep an eye on her because apparently Adora here insists on rushing right into danger," Catra said, as she gave me a smug look. 

I rolled my eyes. 

"I thought I had it," I said. 

Catra's eyes flickered with sympathy, then. 

"I'm responsible for making sure that the people of Etheria are safe," I said, with a sigh, "I'm responsible for making sure that you're safe," I added, as I met Catra's gaze. "I feel like I failed today," I said. 

Catra pressed a hand to my shoulder, then, and gave a shake of her head. 

"No. No, you didn't. You looked out for us and you did all that you could, Adora and...I should have been there for you, too. I promised that I would be," Catra reminded me. 

I gave a slight shake of my head, then. 

"Hey, don't beat yourself up over this. I rushed off first. That's on me," I said. 

"I think we can all agree that we need to make sure we stick together in future! Right, Bow?" Glimmer asked, as she glanced in his direction. 

"Right," Bow said, as he smiled at us, "But that's not what you do, is it, Glimmer?" Bow asked, then. 

Oh no. I sensed drama. 

"No, it isn't..." Bow went on, "'Cause you apparently thought that it would be perfectly fine to go and try to find the robot all by yourself." 

"What?" Catra and I asked in unison, then. 

Glimmer glanced a little guiltily down towards the ground. 

"I thought that I could find Silver! I thought that I could take him out myself," she explained, "I guess I was wrong." 

Catra's eyes widened slightly, then. 

"Wait, Sparkles.  You saw Silver?" Catra asked Glimmer. 

Glimmer gave a slight nod of her head. 

"For a second and...then he left," Glimmer explained. 

The rest of us exhaled in slight nervousness, then, but Glimmer looked as though she wanted to clear the air. 

"Adora, you've had a stressful day. I can go and get you some cupcakes from the kitchen, if you'd like?" Glimmer offered. 

"That's okay-" 

Before I could finish my sentence, though, Glimmer puffed away in a rush of sparkles, and soon returned with a plate filled with berry and chocolate cupcakes. 

"Suit yourself, Adora," Catra said, as the corner of her lips twitched up slightly, "These look incredible," she said, as she took one of the cupcakes from the plate and began to eat it, "Thanks Sparkles," she said, as she winked in Glimmer's direction. 

Glimmer simply smiled warmly back at her. 

"You're welcome, Catra," she said. "I honestly just want to make sure you guys are okay! I feel as though as queen I'm responsible for making Bright Moon safe and now look! We have another catastrophe on our hands!" she yelled. 

Bow began to gently massage Glimmer's shoulders, then. 

"Alright, alright. I think you're being just slightly dramatic," he said, "You've got this," he added, as he placed a gentle kiss upon Glimmer's forehead, which caused her to relax a little. "And...you're also not the only one who's on edge. I snapped another bow earlier." 

"Bow!" Glimmer cried, as she looked towards him with concern. 

"It's a bad habit that only happens when I get considerably anxious but still, it sucks," Bow said. 

Catra and I looked towards him with some sympathy, then. 

Glimmer puffed away again and soon returned with a new bow in her hands. 

"We can't have Bow without his bow," Glimmer said, as the corner of her lips twitched up slightly. 

Bow just glanced back at Glimmer with an affectionate expression upon his face, as he gratefully accepted the bow from her. 

"Wait a second! Did you all just hear that!? I have to go!" Glimmer said decisively, as she began to rush out of the infirmary. 

There Glimmer went being impulsive again. 

"Glimmer!" Bow yelled, as he went after her. 

I sighed and quickly got out of bed but soon stumbled forward. 

Catra reached out a hand to steady me. 

"Woah," she said, "Are you going to be okay?" she asked me. 

"I should be," I said. 

Catra sighed in relief. 

"Okay good. Just hang in there," she told me, as she began to lead the two of us out of the infirmary. 

Perfuma waved to the both of us on our way out. 

Once we got back outside, Bow observed the scene around us. 

"Bow...is everything okay?" I asked him. 

"I think so. I'm just trying to figure out what got Glimmer to rush off like that," he said. 

"I already told you. I heard something," Glimmer said. 

"Alright then, Glimmer. We'll find out what it was," Bow said decisively. 

Bow, much like the rest of us, was pretty dedicated to the task at hand and Silver was still out there, so we had to continue to look for him. 

"He's just a big fat robot, how hard can it be?" I asked. 

Catra began to laugh beside me, then, and I turned to her and raised an eyebrow. 

"Big fat robot!" she said, as she laughed through her speech, "That's hilarious. I mean, that's really something..." she paused, as she caught sight of our serious expressions, "Okay, you're right, we should go."
