A Town Without You

9. Phones can be bad.

"Work against Shadow Weaver? The Shadow Weaver? Like the person who gave you the mission in the first place? That Shadow Weaver?" Scorpia rambled.

"Just hear me out. She targeted a teenager who has no way to defend herself. We were always taught to have honor however Shadow Weaver has none" Catra said.

"She has a way to defend herself, targeting her would still hold honor. We wouldn't necessarily betray The Horde" Catra tried, even though she knew it made no sense.

"Catra, if we try to kill Shadow Weaver that would definitely be betrayal. She's one of the highest members" Scorpia said, insecure about the whole plan.

"We'd be able to have a defense. If they realize what they did we'll be able to see that when we realized she had no honor and was using The Horde for her own good. We might convince them" Catra said.

It was kind of true, honor was the golden rule. It was more important than any person. It was the most important thing of all, and it couldn't be broken.

Scorpia was still insecure about the whole plan, killing Shadow Weaver sounded like a suicide mission.

Catra continued. "But that's only if they find out. We can blame Hordak for the murder, it would make sense. Death happens all the time in The Horde, they won't question it" Catra said, desperately trying to convince Scorpia of her plan.

She knew it wasn't the best plan but it was her only one. She didn't have anything else and she needed her to have her back.

"Are you sure you want to do this Wildcat?" Scorpia asked.

"I am. I have to protect Adora" Catra said, determined to make sure Adora stays safe."Then I'm in" Scorpia said, wanting to help her friend.

Catra smiled at her, Scorpia would always be there for her no matter what. Scorpia might be the only person on this earth that would do that for her.

"Thank you Scorp, you know, you're the best friend anyone could wish for" Catra said, unsurprisingly she got a hug from Scorpia.

"Always for you Wildcat" Scorpia exclaimed.

"So how are we going to do this? Sneak into Shadow Weavers room at night?" Scorpia asked. Catra had to keep herself from facepalming.

"No, I haven't worked out everything yet. The only thing I could think was ask Shadow Weaver for backup with the whole Hordak thing. Then we kill her and kill Hordak. When they ask what happened we say that Hordak killed Shadow Weaver and that we were able to kill Hordak after" Catra said.

"It's at least better than sneaking in her room at night" Scorpia said. Catra knew she was just being nice, she didn't want to say how bad the plan really was.

Because the plan was really, really bad.

So many things could happen, it was a suicide mission. But if it meant that Adora would come out alive, it would have been worth it. They talked about it for a little while until Scorpia said something else.

"You know Wildcat, I've kind of kept something from you too" She started. Catra could already feel her stomach sink, Scorpia saying that wasn't a good sign.

"Shadow Weaver isn't happy and I mean really not happy. She's been even worse than she normally is. If we fail and she knows you targeted her, you're dead Catra" Scorpia said softly.

Catra knew she wasn't exaggerating. If she failed she would actually be dead, it would be the end of her. "How angry?" Catra managed to ask.

"I don't think I've seen her much angrier than this. No one has heard from you in The Horde and you should've already been back" Scorpia said.
