FIRST

The noise at first made its way into Catra's dreams, distant, something she wasn't quite aware of as the world twisted around her, dreams becoming nightmares. The noise became more and more apparent, Catra tossing and turning before awaking in a foul mood.

She pressed her ears flat against her head with a sullen frown. What was that??? The source wasn't immediately apparent, but she had a good guess, stalking her way towards the forge. Tony was usually the one responsible for ungodly noises doing whatever it was he did in there.

"Turn it offfff," she growled, letting herself in, tail twitching and swaying in irritation behind her.


AND THEN

Catra ran, sometimes on two legs, sometimes on all fours, trying to escape the noise, trying to stop it. And in her irrational state she concluded anyone and anything in her way must be the source of it. She pounced out of the blue, eyes wild, and claws sharp. Hope you're ready for the chase, little mouse. Catra isn't going to listen to reason right now.

Comments

There was still a certain wildness to her eyes, but it seemed to be tentatively held in check, and Catra gave an uncertain nod, features stiffening to put on a more guarded expression.

"I'm fine," she grumbled, seeming to be uncomfortable with just how vulnerable the situation had left her.

It doesn’t take the Force to see she was trying to put on a tough front. He could feel her frustration as well. Obi-Wan is still concerned about her well being, but Catra would likely rebuff any further offer of help.

“Good. Though I’m not so certain about myself. Fighting all of these creatures is wearing me down. I could use some back up.”

Which isn’t entirely untrue, though really he wants to keep Catra close to keep an eye on her.

"..." For a short moment it looks as though Catra won't play along, but she belatedly offers a tired smirk.

"You gonna let me use your laser stick?" she probes with a hopeful purr.

“The laser stick only works for me,” Obi-Wan says without missing a beat.

Not exactly true but not exactly a lie either. The work best with Force sensitive individuals. Of which Catra is certainly not and he wasn’t about to let her run rampant with his most precious and dangerous possession.
