"Officer Greyskull, the suspect is heading in your direction. Suspect is dressed in all black, face covered by a mask of some sort, possibly armed. Apprehend and detain until back up arrives" comes a frantic voice over her radio making every nerve in Adora's body come to life with excitement.
She slowly reverses more into the alleyway, trying to strengthen her chances of catching the serial killer by surprise.
The station has been hunting the notorious 'kittykat' for a whole year and all they know about her is she's of magicat decent; supposedly 5'2 in height, extremely fast and only ever speaks to officer Greyskull. To everyone else she kills at random but not to Adora, kittykat's methods a less painful than what these sick fuckers actually deserve. The serial killer does it so as to leave little to no evidence behind, injecting her victims with a poisonous substance that has no known cure, leaving the unlucky individual to die before the police can even get to them.
She remains anonymous, the only persons able to identify her are dead before she leaves
Leaving behind as the only evidence she was there is the rare poison in her victim's system and a note listing all their crimes.
A dark shadow leaps from the rooftop of the building on the left of the alley and onto the hood of Adora's police car.
"Come out Greyskull, I don't have all night" comes a raspy voice that never fails to speed up Adora's heart.
"What a pleasant surprise kittykat, I didn't know you were stopping by" Adora says while stepping out of the driver's seat, coming face to face -well face to mask cause you know, the mask and all- with the infamous criminal herself.
Catra smiles "and here I thought you were waiting for me" she fakes a pout while lowering herself into a crouch, and inching her face as close as possible to Adora's "you disappoint me, Grayskull" she continues in almost a whisper.
Her position giving Adora the perfect opportunity to pull her feet out from under her. Adora swiftly grabs her ankle and pulls hard towards herself causing Catra to let out a surprised squeak and wrap her arms around Adora's neck and her legs around her waist instead of falling to the ground like Adora expected. Catra made no attempted to untangle herself from Adora, she smirks, sliding an hand up the back of Adora's neck and into her hair while looking into her eyes.
Those baby blue orbs looking right back into her heterochromatic eyes.
Adora wraps her arms around catra, effectively keeping her in the position she's in, she then reaches for the mask blocking the bottom half of Catra's face but stops when she feels catra go stiff against her, eyes wide.
Catra's breath hitches, Adora has never tried to remove her mask before. She knows how important it is that her identity stays a secret, Catra would rot in prison for the crimes she committed if she gets caught. Why would Adora try to do something so stupid?.
She pushes Adora while detaching herself from the officer, talking several steps back. "I should go" Catra says, any hint of teasing gone from her voice.
"Wait!- I... I'm sorry, I got carried away. Stay...please" Adora pleads. How could she be so stupid, of course she can't remove her mask, what if someone saw.
"Fine but aren't gonna ask me who I killed this time?" She smiled under her mask "it's like you don't even care anymore Greyskull" she teases.
Adora walks towards her car and leans against it "you know I care, my mind was just occupied otherwise tonight" she wiggles her eyebrows while smirking cause catra to laugh "shut up dork" Catra says while walking towards her.
"Well out with it then, who was it this time?" Adora put her palms flat behind her on the front of the car and reclines a bit.
Catra comes to stand right in front of her placing her hand on either sides of her while leaning into her personal space.
She whispers "a rapist, an abuser- now his wife can live without the fear of him beating her half to death-, the head of a human trafficking ring- caught him during his evening run on the private trail he uses, and finally a corrupt judge taking money from guilty son of a bitches who doesn't want to spend the rest of their lives in a cell" she finished, going nervous under Adora's gaze.
Catra couldn't stand by and let these scums of the earth ruin other people's lives anymore. She had to do something and if that makes her public enemy #1 then so be it. Justice needs to be served and if the law won't do it Catra would be more than happy to be judge, jury and executioner.
"Wow" Adora says breathlessly "can I take you out to dinner?"
Catra cackles, throwing her head back, relieved that Adora don't hate her for the things she did, but then again Adora is an idiot so Catra isn't surprised.
Catra lifts her right hand and presses a syringe behind Adora's neck, being careful not to break skin.
She waits, feeling the air tense between them. Adora doesn't move an inch , never breaking eye contact with Catra.
She watches Adora's reaction carefully before saying "why aren't you scared of me? I could easily kill you"
Adora smiles while putting her hands on Catra's waist, pulling Catra flush against her. "You can, but you won't. And I know that, that's why I'm not scared"
"And why wouldn't I kill you?" Catra removes the syringe pressed against Adora's neck; she rubs her fingertips lightly over the spot to soothe it.
"You'd miss me" Adora says simply, grinning like the idiot she is.
What did Catra do to deserve this? Okay, yes... She might be a criminal but even she doesn't deserve be tortured by the smile of this amazing human being, she wants to kiss that grin right off Adora's stupid face.
"Unfortunately" Catra sighs "but you're still a pain in my ass Greyskull"
"You married this pain in your ass, so you signed up for this" Adora smirks, wrapping her arms around her wife's waist.
"I'm starting to regret that decision"
"Are you really?" Adora pouts
"If I wasn't so hell-bent on not removing this mask I'd kiss that pout right off your pretty face baby" catra says softly
"Let's go home then"
"Good idea, take me home"
"Hmmm I don't know about the taking you home bit. A known criminal in the car of a law abiding officer? What would people think, what would they sayyy?" Adora teases
idiot Catra thought while laughing. She walks to the car and is about to hop in when she noticed Adora hasn't moved an inch, still staring at her with a fond look on her face.
"Get in the fucking car Greyskull" catra opens the passenger door and gets in.
Adora rolls her eyes and hops in the driver's seat. As soon as the door closes Catra grabs the front of her shirt and pulls her in, kissing her slowly. Adora moans softly from the sensation, reaching up to cup Catra's face.
Catra pulls away slightly, keeping their faces close together "Take me home Adora" she whispered in a low husky voice.
This woman will be the death of me Adora thought while starting the car.
