Another mission to the Fright Zone... Great

It had been about a month since the end of the war and time after time members of the alliance were sent on missions to the Fright Zone to retrieve anything from plans, to tech, to raw material. Today, the unlucky member happened to be Catra. Both Glimmer and Peruma had raised concern, but only Catra, Entrapta, and Scorpia knew where Entrapta's old data was and Scorpia had gone to the Wastes while Entrapta was securing Dryl, leaving Catra as the unlucky member who had to go

Well, it was supposed to be just her, but obviously her idiot of a girlfriend noticed her fear and insisted on tagging along

She took a deep breath, promising herself not to get all weak and scared in front of Adora. If she had a panic attack, she could have it on her own time and not involve her insanely bubbly, way too cheerful, and tooth-rottingly loving girlfriend

Just play it cool

Just be normal

''And this was our old office'' Catra introduced the room to Adora, kicking a box out of her way

''Wow... it's um- very.. you guys'' Adora tried to compliment the place as she picked up an old ''super pal trio'' drawing that was still attached to the wall

There was a desk with screens, a big lumpy couch, some chairs (Adora could tell whose they were by the sizes) scrap metal all over the place, a huge TV that she doubted was still working, tools scattered here and there, boxes galore

''Originally we were just planning on holding Entrapta prisoner here but then it kinda just became... our place'' Catra continued ''It's actually one of the parts of the Fright Zone where I actually have some good memories'' She took the drawing from Adora, smiling fondly at it

''I'm glad'' Adora placed her hands on her shoulders ''So you'll be okay cleaning up here?''

''Better than anywhere else'' Catra shrugged

''Ok, I'm just gonna repeat-''

''Adoraaaaaa'' Catra groaned, she didn't need to have this talk again, Perfuma had already said it like 20 times

''Ok! Ok! I'll make it quick!'' She cleared her throat, placing her hand on Catra's cheek ''If you don't wanna do this, you don't have to, there are many other ways to fix things without going to this place-''

Catra grumbled ''I know that. Perfuma already told me-''

''-Here comes my part. I know that Perfuma already prepared you and all but... I know this place, Catra, and I don't want you to have to walk around here alone, I don't want either of us to ever walk around here alone. So every time you plan on doing something here, I'll come with you''

Catra's eyes widened ''You don't have to do that'' 

''I want to do that. I don't want us to have to deal with the bad memories of this place alone so...'' She took Catra's hands in her own ''I promise, I'll be here for you the whole way, if there's anything you need, I'm right here. And if it becomes too much- if you wanna leave, just say the word and we're out''

Tears pricked Catra's eyes, she sniffled ''Ugh do you have to get all emotional on me-'' She'd been trying so hard to keep a straight face, to hold it together, to explain everything without the pain it carried. But Adora could read her like a book, she knew from that first fake smile when they landed here that something was up. She wiped her face, but her throat kept on tightening ''Why do you have to care so much, dummy''

Adora immediately pulled her into her arms ''Hey, hey, shh, don't cry. I'll always care about you. no matter what. It's okay, Catra'' She wrapped her arms around her small, slim body. Letting her bury her face in her shoulder and take in her scent

Adora held her for about three minutes until she pulled away, sniffling ''You always have to be so sentimental don't you? Idiot.'' Her face was a little red and blotchy, but otherwise she was ok

''You love it.'' Adora teased ''Now drink some water and lets get to work with these boxes''

''Fine'' Catra sounded more sincere than before, which was a relief ''I bet I can pack all of Entrapta's stuff faster than you-''

''Hey! That's not fair! Catra!'' Adora ran over a pile of boxes, never one to back down from a challenge

They were about an hour in

''Soooo, random question'' Adora asked as she surveyed some kind of squishy stuffed puppy

''Shoot'' Catra replied as she threw random scraps out of a box

''How is this a prison exactly? like how'd you keep Entrapta here, there isn't much to work with'' She put down the toy and picked out another cardboard box

''Oh she escaped in under two seconds'' Catra explained ''She's Entrapta she can break out of any trap if she figures out how it works''

''Well yeah but is there even a trap here? It looks pretty not-trappy to me'' She looked around again

Catra giggled '' 'Trappy' isn't even a word''

Adora scoffed ''You know what I meant''

''One second, I'll see if I can find it'' Catra stopped rummaging through the box and started looking around the walls of the room

It was way on the other side, a part of the room even they hadn't gotten to yet 

Catra spotted it immediately, four big dusty metal clasps, designed to catch the prisoner's wrists and ankles by encircling them. The metal was reinforced and heavy, too much for a regular person to break out of, it'd need a remote to be manually unlocked, of course Entrapta had managed to pick the locks on it and free herself

She inched closer to it curiously. those claps were huge and thick, and she remembers how they had this super loud snap to them. Like a mousetrap that just caught its prey

She moved left, making sure she wasn't dead centre in front of it, she wondered if they'd broken down by now or if the reinforced metal was still salvageable

They were way taller than she remembered, someone as short as her could reach She-Ra's height if they were fastened to the wall

She jumped onto a few boxes on the side, high up so she could  poke the right clasp with her right hand, tapping it with her nail

CLANG

The metal immediately snapped shut around her wrist, Catra yelped as she fell off the boxes, sending them all toppling to the ground

She forgot they were motion detecting! HOW DID SHE FORGET THEY WERE MOTION DETECTING!?

Immediately she was only held up by hey trapped wrist, swinging down she twisted and slammed her back into the wall, hitting her arm on the other catch

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

Before she knew it she was in the same position as Entrapta, wrists and ankles held down by huge metal clasps, lined up against the wall. Her tail lashed and her ear twitched as she realized her situation

She growled to herself, how could she be so stupid?

Ok, ok, she'll get out of this

How did Entrapta break out of this again?

''Come on, come on'' She grunted in effort as she tried to play with the locks with her nails, but her hands could barely move with her wrists still caught, and her tail was too dull and short. She struggled for a bit, hoping it would give way, but the metal was strong as ever and it wouldn't budge

She sighed, time for the nuclear option

''h-hey, Adora?'' She spoke, just loud enough for her voice to echo off the walls

Adora continued working on the other side of the room ''Yeah? Something wrong?''

Catra had to take another deep breath, she really didn't want anyone to catch her in this position, making such a stupid mistake. No one better than her girlfriend, she supposed

''I-I need some help... but.. you're not allowed to laugh'' She managed to let out, her voice going higher than anticipated

She could practically hear what Adora was feeling right now, first the rummaging stopped, that meant she was thinking, probably thinking of the worst case scenario, probably going through everything bad that could've happened in her mind ''Hey, are you-''

''I'm okay'' Catra responded quickly, ''Just... help''

Adora nervously peeked around the giant screen

''Pfft-''

''Don't.'' Catra hissed, glaring at her 

Adora covered her mouth and leaned against the console for support ''S-sorry, sorry'' She choked out, trying not to double over in a fit of laughter ''H-how did you even get in there??'' There were tears in her eyes from how much she was trying not to laugh

''I was just seeing if it was working, Ok?!'' Catra huffed

''What By jumping right into it?'' Adora was clutching her stomach, wheezing

''Could you just get me out of the stupid thing?!'' Catra huffed

Adora took a deep breath ''Ok, ok, do we have like, a lock pick, or a key?'' She began searching the boxes next to Catra

''Entrapta picked the locks but I have no idea how'' She struggled against the restraints ''And I can't really reach them from here''

Adora finally found a thin, sharp piece of scrap metal ''Ok, let me try'' She walked toward Catra

''Wow'' She snorted ''I think you finally got taller than me''

''Sh-Shut up!'' Catra's tail lashed, hitting her in the face

Adora batted her tail away ''Y'know what? Just for that, I'm not freeing you''

''Adora!'' Catra glared

''Ok, ok, hold still'' Adora rolled her eyes ''So bossy'' she muttered, trying to pick the lock at one of her ankles

Adora had been trying to pick at that thing for around two minutes now, but it was jammed shut, the locks were completely clamped together and there was no working through them, everything was all rusted from the inside

''Y-you still there?'' Catra asked hesitantly

''Why wouldn't I be?'' Adora asked from where she was leaning against the wall now, trying a different angle

''I can't see you, I can barely move my neck, and you're all the way down there'' She tried to crane her neck to see Adora again but she could barely catch a glimpse of her red jacket

Adora placed a hand on her leg, rubbing it slightly ''This better?''

Catra let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in ''Yeah... yeah this is better''

Around a minute later, Adora exhaled in frustration, the stupid thing just wouldn't open ''How're you doing up there?'' She asked Catra, trying to calm herself down

''I-I'm fine'' Catra was shaking a little, Adora traced a hand over her leg again ''Well not fine fine, I'd rather be out of here and able to defend myself but... I trust you''

Adora snorted ''What does that mean?''

''Just- ugh, I'm all exposed, if someone wanted to punch me they'd land a clean blow, and I'd be stuck'' She sighed ''If I was with anyone else I'd freak out, I know Bow or Glimmer wouldn't punch me but it's scary, y'know?''

''I know'' Adora said softly. Catra always had issues being vulnerable, hell she refused to wear shoes by the age of eight just so she could fight better at all times. Even now, when the war is over and there's literally no chance of anyone hurting her, she refuses to be vulnerable, ready to dodge or scratch or block at a moment's notice

But now she's trapped, anything can happen to her and she can't defend herself against it, hundreds of alarms are blaring in her head, triggering her fight or flight response

But then Adora places her hand on her leg and tells her she's here, and Catra relaxes. That feeling of love and safety is enough to quiet the alarms for awhile, she knows she's safe, she knows nothing's gonna happen to her and that she's not alone

Adora finally let go of the stupid thing, there's no way in hell it's gonna budge, she got up and stood back, looking at the contraption again

''What are you doing?'' Catra asked as Adora finally came back into view ''You've got your thinking face on''

Adora narrowed her eyes ''If I can't get the locks I should get the power source, but this thing is so old it probably won't open up again. If I try to unscrew it it's gonna take forever and unless I can do them all at the same time you're probably gonna have to hold a ton of metal up and hurt yourself. There's no way to slide you out of the catch and I can't fix the rusty locks without exposing them and that's impossible. Plus the metal is reinforced so trying to melt it will probably hurt you and not fix anything-''

''Y'know you're not making me feel any better about this, right?'' Catra interrupted ''I mean this is just making it worse''

Adora gave her a reassuring smile ''Hey, I'll figure it out'' She stood up, placing a hand on Catra's waist ''I promise, I'll get you outta here''

And suddenly an idea popped into her head ''Ok! I have an idea!''

''If it involves fire- Hey! get back here!'' Catra called as Adora ran away, to the other side of the room

''Still here! Don't worry! Adora called back, grabbing Scorpia's massive chair and hoisting it on her back, running across the room, this should be enough to reach the same height as Catra

''What's that for?'' Catra asked tentatively

''Maybe I can at least get your hands out'' Adora replied placing the chair in front of her

''Ok'' Catra nodded quietly

Adora climbed up onto the chair, now finally at the same height as Catra

She was so preoccupied earlier that she didn't think about it, but Catra looked... really hot like this. Her arms and legs held back, her soft blush of embarrassment as she waited for Adora to do something. Her body was so exposed, so vulnerable, so... touchable. The sound and movement of her breathing was practically intoxicating. Adora hand her hands on the wall, one on either side of Catra, caging her in. For just a few seconds she wanted to feel Catra, all of her, she wanted to brush her fingertips over her ribs and slide her hands over her stomach. She wanted to place her hands on her arms and feel every inch of her skin, she wanted to put her palms on her chest and tease them up her thighs and touch between her legs. She looked so perfect like this

Catra was going even more red now, she expected Adora to be coming up here to be comforting but it did the exact opposite. She realized something the moment Adora had that hand on her waist, she felt it, something pooling right down between her legs. Adora's touch was so soft, so tender, it made Catra's mind go crazy, she wanted to feel that touch all over. She liked this. She thought the vulnerability and sensitivity would make her uncomfortable but in Adora's hands, all she felt was warmth and arousal

For just a few moments, they stared into each other's eyes, both thinking the same thing but having no idea how to express it

Adora was the first to break out of the trance and shake her head ''You okay? You're all red'' 

Catra just stared at her for a couple seconds before nodding ''I-I'm fine!''

''Ok, just hold still, I'm gonna try to get your hand free'' Adora gulped, trying to forget what she was thinking a few seconds ago

She leaned over to the other side, even while standing on a chair, the locks were a little hard to reach. Adora balanced on the chair as she stretched her arms, trying to pick the lock

''You sure you can reach it?'' Catra asked

''Doing my best!'' Adora replied

She was leaning closer and closer into Catra, trying to get a better angle. Catra held her breath, all she could see were Adora's gold locks as she steadied herself

And before she knew it, Adora's thigh was between her legs as she pushed it against the wall

Catra inhaled sharply at the contact as she tried not to grind against it

Adora heard her and got back up, removing her leg ''Hey, you ok?''

Catra tried to speak but all that came out was a soft whimper

Of course, Adora being the oblivious person she is, thought Catra was afraid or something

''Hey, hey, it's okay, you're okay. I'll get you out. I'll take care of you, I promise'' She placed a hand on Catra's cheek

That last sentence sent Catra reeling, she could feel hot slick dripping out of her at those words alone

Adora noticed her reaction and quickly wrapped her arms around her as best she could ''I've got you, I've got you'' She said softly

Catra cleared her throat ''It- It's not that, I'm fine...''

Adora pulled away slightly, looking to Catra's eyes ''Then what is it?''

Catra could feel her complexion turning more and more red ''I- I want... I need- I need you to...''

Adora smiled ''Take your time, I'm listening''

''T-Touch me... touch me all over... please'' She gasped

Adora stared at her for a moment

She took in her soft breaths, her dilated pupils, the tension in every exposed muscle in her body. The way her chest kept rising and falling with every small breath, the way her entire body was so sensitive and now completely in the palm of Adora's hand. She looked at the clothes hugging every single one of Catra's beautiful curves, she couldn't help it, she wanted to touch, to explore. And now that she had Catra's permission and consent...

Adora surged forward, catching Catra's lips in a kiss. It was sweet and slow as they breathed into each other's mouths and explored each other with their tongues

Before they went any further, Adora pulled away for a moment

''If there's any time you want me to stop, just say it'' She wanted Catra to know just in case

Catra nodded immediately ''Ok'' before meeting Adora's lips again

Adora's hands finally began to roam her body, she pulls away, watching Catra's every reaction, every soft gasp that leaves hot air coming out of her mouth. Adora's hand traces her body, over the dips in her hips, stroking against her sides, She circles her thumbs over Catra's stomach, and Catra whines... stars, she's so sensitive

Adora puts her hands on Catra's arms, where they're still trapped. She leans in close, breath tickling Catra's ear ''Is this what you want?''

Catra whimpers, then stutters out a slurred ''Y-yess''

Her hands trace down Catra's arms, making her shudder. She slowly unclips the leather covering Catra's collar and neck, letting it fall to the ground

Adora leans forward, melding their bodies together as she ducks her head, kissing Catra's neck

Her hands trace Catra's sides, pressing agains the small of her back as they wrap around her. Catra is so helpless... she can only gasp and moan as Adora touches her, her tail is moving from side to side wildly as her throat releases soft, high-pitched cries. Heat is pooling between the legs spread wide open, she can't control the flow, only feel as it spills and wets her clothes

Adora keeps kissing and biting, she always loves to do this, tease Catra. Not just pleasure her but enjoy her body, every part of it. She always takes her time, touching and caressing her, constantly always kissing her, making her feel like the most loved human being in the world before touching her where she needs

''ah!...Adora- AH!'' She cries as she feels Adora sucking the skin right above her collarbone, she's caressing the sides of Catra's still covered breasts, pressing her hands over right where Catra needs it. She can already feel herself start to bruise, more than usual, Adora's really taking her sweet time here

She feels Adora bury her face into the crook of her neck, wrapping her arms around her. Catra gasps as she feels Adora's hand on the zipper on her back, pulling it down so slowly that Catra can feel every inch of metal it slides down. Her other hand is touching Catra's back, smoothing her fur as more and more is exposed, She feels Adora's hand slide from her shoulder blade to the small of her back, touching her in a way that sets her nerves on fire

Finally, Adora pulls away, and Catra feels her bodice drop right off from in front of her, hitting the floor with a satisfying 'thud'

She isn't wearing a bra underneath.

For a moment, the two of them just stare at each other. Catra's panting, her pupils are dilated as she sees Adora's eyes, beautiful blue orbs looking at her with all the love and hunger in the world. Catra doesn't realize her mouth was hanging open and promptly closes it, eyeing Adora apprehensively, it's hard to read her expression as her eyes trail down Catra's half-naked body. Watching every piece of fur stand on end, watching every small, taut muscle get ready to spring. Watching her bare chest rising and falling. So exposed... so vulnerable

Catra looks away shyly, she's getting antsy, wondering what Adora is thinking-

''Stars... You're so beautiful''

Adora has never seen her like this... sure they've done this a couple times before but never like this. With Catra's body completely laid out in front of her, with her held down and having to take everything Adora can give. She can admire Catra's body for everything it is she can touch it as softly and slowly as possible, she can feel it move with every caress, she can express her love as slowly and as perfectly as she wants

She places her hand on Catra's cheek, making her look her in the eyes again

''I love you'' she says softly, in the way that always, always makes Catra's breath hitch. She's still not used to feeling this, being loved so unconditionally, being told she's beautiful and perfect. It always seems to baffle her that someone can possibly see her that way, but Adora is determined to show her every time

Adora's hand trails down, over the dip of her throat, between her breasts, down to her stomach. Adora traces Catra's ribcage with her fingertips, every millimeter of movement feeling like a spark on Catra's body, she gasps and shudders, rolling her hips. She can't help it, the way more and more drips out of her, it's all completely open and impossible to close. Adora bends down, her hands on Catra's back as she kisses her chest, she can feel Catra's purr vibrating against her lips as she continues to kiss up and down

''hnnh... haa- hAaAh!'' Catra cries out as Adora squeezes her breasts, circling her thumbs over her nipples as she continues to kiss and suck on her skin, leaving marks everywhere she can think of

Eventually her hands trace down, over the dips of Catra's waist, to her hips, and finally over her ass. Catra groans as she feels Adora squeeze her rear, she tries to lift her legs as Adora massages the base of her tail. She whines as she can feel Adora's hands all over her, she's feeling more and more heat with every touch

Finally Adora slides her right hand back up, over Catra's body again, she gingerly cups her face. Catra's shaking, she's so completely engulfed with want. Adora hooks her chin, she's looking into her eyes so pleadingly, her pupils are completely dilated as her body shudders

She wants to look at Catra, see how much she wants her, she how much she's wanted 

She strokes her hand between Catra's legs, a touch so light that all Catra can feel is how it vibrates through the layers of cloth over her

Adora's gaze flits down for a second as she sees the wetness that has already gathered where she pushed her finger... stars, Catra must be soaked

''You're all wet'' Adora acknowledges, and Catra's face turns red, this is one of her favorite parts, seeing the expression on Catra's face

She has no idea what makes her do that, whether it's the humiliation, the sound of Adora's voice or the just way she's looked at. She doesn't know how Adora manages to make her head spin with a simple comment, but it's so personal, it's Adora knowing truly how badly Catra wants her, it's Adora touching the most vulnerable part of her body and teasing her about it. It always manages to lay her bare, it always manages to make sure she can't hide a thing, it always manages to turn her face bright red

Adora takes her hands up and down Catra's thighs, sensually tracing over her legs. A few times she traces the deep crevices of her inner thighs, watching the way her body stiffens up as she hopes with all her heart of Adora to touch her, only for Adora's fingers to remain on the outer border and tease her more

She's watching Catra's face all the while, there are almost tears pricking her eyes as she whines with need. She's breathing heavily as Adora makes her entire body go completely crazy. She can't help the way her mouth hangs open and releases soft, hot gasps from her throat, the way her cheeks have this beautiful red hue. That expression is something Adora will happily tease her for every time

Finally, she stopped, resting her hands on Catra's thighs

She got off the chair, pushing it away. At this height, Adora's face was completely level with Catra's pelvic area

As slowly as possible, she lifted her hands, pushing her thumbs right underneath Catra's waistband, watching her, hips slightly move from side to side to get some kind of movement going. Adora smiled, flattening her palm on the sides of Catra's thighs before slowly pulling her pants down her knees

She could hear Catra taking deep breaths in and out as she saw her black panties glistening slightly, fresh wetness leaving her in the most obvious way possible. There was no way for her to clench her legs or hide or stop it, nothing could change the deep arousal coursing through her, it just kept spilling out for Adora to see

''We should do this more often'' Adora said as flirtatiously as possible, poking Catra's wide open entrance through the fabric of her panties

Immediately Catra's back arched as she released some kind of choked cry from her throat

Adora removed her her finger, Catra had never been this sensitive before, ''You're way wetter than normal''

Catra released another whine, she felt so humiliated

Adora slid down her panties, watching how Catra squirmed as the cool air came into contact with the hot slick coating her. She kissed her just above her slit, causing Catra to practically go limp in her restraints, directing all her strength to her core, ''I'll take care of you, I promise'' Adora purred

Catra cried out as Adora dragged her tongue across her slit. She spread her legs as wide as possible, moaning the blonde's name. She felt like she was on fire as Adora took her in, barely giving her a moment to breathe as she tasted her. Adora pressed her hands on her thighs as she licked every last drop, teasing along Catra's pulsating entrance

she used her thumbs to open Catra's folds wide, using her tongue on almost every inch of sensitive skin

Catra continued to moan and cry, she'd never felt this good in her entire life

Adora pushed her face in closer, continuing to kiss and lick in a way that made every single one of Catra's nerves spark with electricity.

Finally, she poked a finger right at the base of Catra's slit. Making her mewl weakly

She dragged her finger up, right to Catra's entrance

''You wanna feel this inside you?'' She asked sweetly, circling the entrance with her finger to stimulate her more

Catra could feel tears running down her cheeks as she whimpered ''P-please...''

Adora finally pushed her finger in, all the way to her knuckle

Catra felt like she was lifted into the air by that push alone, her insides clenched as she arched her back, digging her claws into her restraints as she released a mix between a mewl and a scream. Adora twisted her finger inside her, causing her to toss her head back and moan, the blonde continued to kiss and lick her as more juices spilled out, thrusting her finger in over and over

Eventually she added another, and Catra continued to cry out as those fingers curled inside her, hitting her most sensitive spot

Adora buried her face in again, licking her clit before firmly sucking on it, pulling it in

Catra felt a jolt of pleasure move through her like lightning, she screamed again, completely lost in it

Finally, she felt her insides tighten in waves, Adora pressed her tongue against her clit to help her ride it out, softly letting her fingers escape so Catra could feel every inch of them leave

Catra went limp, all she could feel was that deep, satisfied ache in her core. She hadn't felt that good... ever, not even when they did this for the first time

''You okay?'' Adora asked quietly, wiping her face

''Better than okay'' Catra gasped ''That was awesome''

''You sounded like you were enjoying it'' Adora smiled, positioning the chair so she could stand on it again

''Shut uuuppp'' Catra groaned, somewhere in the back of her mind she still couldn't believe she just got laid in a Horde trap, in her own office of all places, but with Adora she guessed weird was normal

Adora climbed back up on the chair ''Maybe we should buy some stuff for ourselves then...'' She winked

''Like handcuffs, ropes?'' Catra asked expectantly

''Only if you wanna do this again'' Adora smiled, face to face with her again

In one soft gesture she pulled Catra's underwear and then pants back up, as much as she loved seeing her naked the last thing she wanted was for Catra to be uncomfortable

''Thanks'' Catra whispered as Adora placed her hands on her waist, stars she was always so gentle with her

''We need to do that again'' Catra acknowledged

''Already? We just did'' Adora chuckled, bending down for a quick peck on the lips

''Yeah but we need to do it again. Maybe with She-Ra, she's big, I think I'd like big'' Catra hummed

''Am I not big enough for you?'' Adora teased

''You are, don't take it the wrong way'' The brunette replied

''Oh Catra I can't believe you've done this to me!'' Adora ducks her head and presses a few more kisses to Catra's neck, tracing her hands over her sides, she still isn't wearing a shirt, and her fur is just so soft and warm like this ''Fear not, I shall work out and gain as many muscles as possible!''

''Shut up'' Catra giggled, ''You're already awesome... I just wanna try and experiment''

''I know'' Adora ran her hand through her hair, giving her one more affectionate kiss ''Wait...''

She pulled away

''She-Ra! I can use She-Ra to open up the metal and get you out!'' 

Catra deadpanned

''YOU SERIOUSLY DIDN'T THINK OF THAT UNTIL NOW?!?!''

With barely any effort She-Ra managed to free both Catra's legs in seconds, the metal clasps crushing like paper under her hands. All the while Catra was muttering indignantly ''An idiot. I'm dating the world's biggest idiot. What kind of buffoon forgets she can turn into a metal crushing 8 foot tall warrior lady''

''For the last time, I'm sorry'' She-Ra replied

''I mean, she accounted for everything. She picked that lock for half an hour! half an hour! But nooooo She's denser than a fucking boulder and forgets that she can transform into a fucking superhero for thirty fucking minutes!'' Catra ranted, her legs now dangling a few feet off the ground with her hands still trapped above her head

''I didn't realize!'' Adora groaned, she could already feel Catra holding this over her head for the next week

''Do you know how much my arms hurt?! I've been dangling for an hour straight they feel like they're gonna fall off!'' She complained, glaring at Adora

''Hey, half of that hour was us having a good time so you don't get to complain about that'' Adora poked her still bare chest 

''Yeah but clearly my arms do'' Catra retaliated

She-Ra leaned forward so her body was right against Catra's ''Ok, I'm gonna try and get your arms free so just hold still for a sec''

''What does it look like I've been doing for the past hour ?!'' Catra snarked

Adora popped one clamp open, allowing Catra's limp arm to finally slide down and rest on Adora's broad shoulders. Adora quickly broke the other and Catra wrapped her arms around her neck, sighing softly as she finally fell against her lover

Adora smiled, letting them both sink to the ground as She-Ra flickered away

''Ughhhh'' Catra groaned, her arms were so sore and she could barely hold herself up

''Shhh'' Adora let her arms fall from her shoulders before pulling her close ''How bad is it?''

''Everything just... aches, I think I just gotta lay down'' She managed as Adora squeezed her bicep, sure enough there's a ton of tension in there

She spotted her top and immediately reached for it, groaning again as her arm spasmed with pain

''Let me do it'' Adora kissed her forehead before reaching for her clothes

She helped Catra dress, positioning the bodice over her front before wrapping it around her and zipping it up. Catra felt so relaxed in that moment, Adora handled her with such love, such care, she never thought she'd ever feel this way. Adora grabbed the leather attachment that covers Catra's collar and neck, tenderly fastening it back over her before clipping it to her bodice

Without thinking she reached down and kissed Catra's lips again, and Catra welcomed the kiss, smiling into it

''I'll tell Glimmer we couldn't find much today because we had to disable traps'' Adora smiled, brushing her nose against Catra's

''Good idea'' Catra sighed

Adora pulled her close, enveloping her small, fragile body in her arms ''I'm gonna carry you to the skiff and take you home, we have a couple days to clear this place out anyway, we can come back tomorrow''

Catra purred ''Thanks''

Adora held her girlfriend to her chest, just savoring the moment for a second before lifting Catra up and walking through the remains of the Fright Zone, back to where their skiff was parked

''I love you'' She said as she sat Catra down on the floor of the vehicle. She tenderly brushed the hair out of her girlfriend's face ''I love you so much''

''Love you too...'' Catra sighed, leaning against the wall of metal at the back of the skiff

They didn't get much done today, but that didn't matter, not to them at least, they were too preoccupied with each other

Adora made a mental note to definitely try that restraint thing with Catra again, if she wanted of course
