A Town Without You

7. Unexpected Visitor

Catra thought it would be a normal day at school when she saw a tall, muscular, sweet looking girl who she knew like no other.

She froze, it's safe to say she did not expect this one. What was Scorpia doing here? Why wasn't at The Horde?

Maybe someone had sent her here for an other mission, one that totally wasn't related to Catra at all. She hoped so at least.

She loved Scorpia but she couldn't be here right now. She had barely made any progress other than the fact that Adora is innocent. Which is more like reversed progress since that made it so much harder to get information.

Scorpia looked just as hopeless as she felt when she got here. She looked confused at all the colors and children here. It was kind of funny.

Catra knew Scorpia was a disaster with acting or spying, the girl couldn't lie for the life of her. Shadow Weaver must be really desprate if she send her out on a spying mission.

She was hopelessly walking around and looking in all direction when she made eye contact with Catra. Her eyes immediately lit up and she waved at Catra. Catra waved back and quickly went to her.

She had to make sure Scorpia didn't slip up or anything. This mission was way to important, she had to make sure she talked to Scorpia immediately.

"Kitty! You're okay, we were so worried about y-" Scorpia tried to say when Catra quickly pulled her to the side.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed. She knew she shouldn't be this mean to Scorpia but she couldn't stop herself right now.

"Shadow Weaver send me here, you were taking too long. She's not happy Wildcat" Scorpia said, Catra could hear that she was upset. Catra sighed and calmed herself down.

It wasn't good, if Shadow Weaver was mad it would mean that even if she would do everything perfectly. she still wouldn't be good enough.

She couldn't think about that right now, she had to get Scorpia and private to talk things through.

"Okay, after school we'll go to my house. I'll tell you everything I know right now. Stay close to me for today, okay?" Catra said.

Scorpia nodded and gave Catra a hug. Catra wasn't the biggest fan of hugs but Scorpia was an exception. She honestly kind of missed Scorpia's hugs, they were better than anyone else's.

"Is school hard? What do they do here?'' Scorpia asked as she followed Catra along the hallways of the school.

"It's mostly weird. We have history right now, that isn't too hard. I'll introduce you to all my 'friends'. Adora is one of them" she answered, using air quotes with the word 'friends'.

"Nice going Wildcat! I knew you were onto something" Scorpia said enthusiastically. Catra smiled at Scorpia, even though she'll never admit it, she missed her a lot.

They had history and it's safe to say that Scorpia was hopeless in class. She kept eyeing Catra with a stare that could only say 'how are you even still alive'.

It was hard for Catra to pay attention to class. Not that she ever did though, she had way more important things to worry about.

Adora was looking at Scorpia and Catra all class, she definitely knew that they knew each other. Adora always looked as if she was... jealous?

Catra couldn't think about that right now, she had to make sure that she introduced Scorpia as if she was someone she met at her last school.

She just had to hope that Scorpia would go along with it. She knew Scorpia wasn't the best actress, meaning that she had to do most of the work.
