Trust me, Sparkles, the feeling’s mutual

                FOR HER INFORMATION,   DOUBLE TROUBLE HAPPENED TO DO A FEW EASY JOBS BEFOREHAND.      they didn’t pay as much but it suffices.   she should be grateful.   they don’t come back to previous clients often,  only for introductions and for payment.   otherwise,  double trouble would need to be appoached first.     ❝     is seeking  the other side  better  than checking in on you ?   i can easily take my services elsewhere.    ❞     if they really wanted to,  the mercenary could simply slip to the rebellion and spill what catra had,  even play with catra herself.   the only reason they haven’t left yet :   the character catra plays and backstory she hints at is more fascinating and deep - rooted than anything they have done !

        they allow the feline to relish in the moment.   patiently waits for the next line.   who was she trying to convince because it certainly wasn’t them.   if this were a play,  quite frankly,  they would admit her acting is atrocious but suppose,  her denial is cute.   the attempt to play a strong lead role is there,  more or less,  but all actors start somewhere.   despite her false claims,  seeing her grin makes them smile.   more rather,  sustains the smile already plastered on their face.   might as well entertain.   however,  features are quick to drop :   brows comically raise and mouth puckers into a small,  thin line.   cue a smug response :     ❝     darling,  please,  might doesn’t even cover the plan.   you’re nothing without my gifts.       ❞

               jaw   clenched,   ivories   gritting               —               double   trouble   had   been   one   of   her   best   assets   in   the   war   against   the   rebellion,   and   as   much   as   it   pained   her   to   admit   it,   she   would   rather   stick   a   fork   in   her   eye   than   watch   them   switch   sides.   she   wasn’t   sure   she   could   handle   it,   even               —               another   betrayal,   another   abandonment.   nagging   voices   in   her   brain   were   bad   enough,   but   having   to   hear   it   aloud   from   hordak   ?      no,   thanks.               ❝   you   don’t   need   to   be   all   smug   about   it,   we   get   it.   ❞               that   was   the   best   they   were   going   to   get   from   her.   and   then   she   released   a   sigh,               ❝   they   wouldn’t   appreciate   your   talents   the   way   i   do.   plus,   they’re   boring.   and   have   nothing   interesting   to   explore   for   your   uh               —               character   studies.   ❞   

               catra   didn’t   understand   their   thing,   or   why   it   was   so   important   to   them               —               she   only   cared   that   they   did   their   job   well.   and   she   would   give   credit   where   credit   was   due.   usually.   if   the   scowl   weren’t   more   present   on   the   feline’s   features   before,   it   certainly   was   now         —               price   of   being   force   captain   meant   playing   nice   when   she   didn’t   want   to   and   there   she   was,   swallowing   her   pride.               ❝   okay,   does   this   mean   you’re   staying   and   not   going   to   help   the   rebellion   ?      because   i   don’t   have   all   day.   ❞               tail   was   curling   behind,   a   show   of   her   impatience   and   she   reached   out   to   pull   them   along   with   her               —               she   wasn’t   waiting   around   for   an   answer.               ❝   i   heard   rumors   of   some   weapon   from   the   first   ones,   entrapta’s   pretty   excited   about   it               —               the   only   obstacle   is   that   she - ra   and   her   band   of   clowns   might   be   looking   too.   ❞  

@znrza​     ,     DOUBLE TROUBLE     :     “ long time no see ... ” greeting speaks from a stranger's face, human, more rather, and with a gruff voice. head rests against hand with a toothy smirk before promptly, shrouded in black and green. out comes the familiar, graceful shapeshifter. “ miss me, kitten ? ” 

defenses   were   up,   a   snarl   resting   over   brims   pulled   taut               —               and   yet   she   remained   her   composure         :         she   was   a   soldier,   the   captain,   she   didn’t   know   fear.   and   she   wouldn’t   allow   anyone   to   see   beneath   that   armor   of   hers.   brows   furrowed,   eyes   following   the   stranger   intently               —               what   now   ?         it   seemed   the   universe   was   out   to   get   her   and   she   couldn’t   even   enjoy   a   few   minutes   to   herself.               ❝   what   do   you   want   ?   ❞               a   question   never   sounded   so   much   like   a   demand               —               if   this   was   just   another   distraction,   another   game   to   mess   with   her   head               ...               and   then   claws   retracted,   muscles   relaxing   the   slightest   as   the   stranger   shifted.   

while   there   was   relief   in   seeing   a   familiar   face,   annoyance   was   quick   to   rise,   gaze   narrowing   intensely,               ❝   double   trouble.   i   thought   you’d   found   better   things   to   do.   ❞               bitterness   laced   in   her   tone,   though   she   couldn’t   resist   the   wicked   grin   threatening   to   stretch   over   sharp   features,               ❝   me   ?      miss   you   ?      HAH   !      in   your   dreams.   ❞               head   tilted   to   the   side   as   she   purposely   inspected   them,               ❝   perfect   timing   though,   i   was   just   thinking   of   a   way   to   knock   down   the   rebellion   and   you   just   might   be   the   missing   piece.   ❞

“   i   would   brave   the   longest   night   if   i   could   have   you   always   ”

brow   rose   in   amusement,   hum   leaving   her   lips   as   she   nudged   her   shoulder,     “     that’s   awfully   romantic   of   you.   i   mean                    gross,   but   cute.     ”     playfulness   played   over   her   lips   as   her   tail   curled   around   adora’s   waist,     “     keep   it   down   though,   you   might   embarrass   me.     ”  

true love: having to hold back your adorable, violent girlfriend to keep her from straight up murdering a dude

are you trying to be normal so people won’t know you’re traumatized and angry or are you trying to be larger-than-life so people won’t know you’re vulnerable and needy

i don’t think i’m ever going to get over how catra lost half of her body in the fake universe when it was erasing itself, and how when things are back to normal her new outfit is very clearly based off of that. it’s a constant reminder that a part of her died there.
