Half of Catra's backstory from this fic

Another memory bubbles up, this time of Captain Prime towering over her, about a year after she took down Hordak. They were standing on the deck of his flagship. 

“We specialize in relocating… extraordinary creatures like you, miss Catra.” She couldn't help but shudder at the word choice. “Such fascinating beings are not made to be hidden,” Long, firm fingers, different from Hordak's bony ones, moved past her chin to rest on her shoulder. Catra had to will herself not to flinch. The man smiled. "Our crew, the Horde, give them the chance to be brought into light. Appreciated,” -his grip tightened- “Utilized.” 

She felt suffocated under his gaze. “Magicats are not rare but they aren’t quite common outside of the mainland, you would make an excellent trophy in the more desolate kingdoms up north, I'm sure. Though I am more interested in your abilities. Your keen eyes, to be exact,” His stare turned hungry. Catra’s ears pinned back. “Your senses. Think of the brilliant hunter I could bring out of you. It would be a shame to waste all this talent on this small seaside town, don’t you think?” 

When Prime’s hands left her, the chill on her skin did not fade. He took a step back, as if to give her the space of choice, and declared.

“Miss Catra, you will be of use to us yet.”
