Today had started off like any other glorious day at the base, filled with rambunctious laughter and even louder screaming between teammates. Humans had a strange way of showing affection for one another. Jude was always almost lighting Korrith on fire, Malina and the girl named Malice were always arguing, and Freddie never forgot to tell her favorite alien how annoying she was.
Even with their weird human interactions, Kataly'a enjoyed her new human companions. It had been two weeks full of chaos, but the alien was enjoying her time among the Heroes of Tomorrow. The base was chaotic in a way that the warrior princess enjoyed, never ceasing to stir up curiosity and wonder within her.
Everyone had started to slip into the routine of their training program, despite people like Mateo who continuously slept through breakfast and rushed to morning training with a half eaten piece of bacon, or Kam who skipped evening social time to seclude himself in one of the many gyms. The soon-to-be heroes had adapted quickly, another part of their intensive training.
Even with Freddie wearing her usual scowl while Kat animatedly explained the joy of Almeracian holidays while braiding her unruly blonde locks, it felt like things had finally started to settle down. Which is exactly why Kataly'a shot up from her seat behind her friend when the alarm started blaring, emerald eyes wide and body tense as she sensed for danger.
"Hello trainees. Please meet me in the conference room for an emergency mission briefing." The voice of Troia boomed over the sound of the alarm, putting the warrior princess only slightly at ease. At least the base wasn't under attack. The princess had fought many battles as was her duty as crown princess of Almerac, but her stomach fluttered with nerves as she anticipated her first mission as a hero of Earth.
Following behind Freddie's large wings, Kataly'a found herself in the command center with the rest of her teammates filing in behind her in varying states of concern. They had been training together for two weeks, but they'd never been sent on a real assignment outside of the base before.
"An army of robots has invaded Star City. The League has decided it's safe enough to send you all on your first mission, so you will be tasked with wiping out the robots and keeping the city safe. Nightwing and I will be here watching on the cams and talking to you through your communicators. Get ready to zeta tube in groups of two." Donna explained, her tone more serious than normal. Kat was practically vibrating with nerves as she lined up to wait for her turn in the zeta tube. With Lilith at her side, the two boarded the tube to transport them to the scene of their first mission.
As the zeta tube's door opened, the chaos of the city under fire hit them full force. A robot was blasting them before they'd even exited, causing Kataly'a to grab the assassin and take off into the sky. A sharp gaze scanned the surrounding area, taking in the hoards of robots flooding into the city and the havoc they were already wreaking. Blasting a few energy bolts at the invading army to clear room for her teammates, Kat swooped lower to the ground to let Lilith down safely.
With her arms free of weight, Kataly'a flew forward at full-speed with the intent to blast through a pile of robots just as Freddie was exiting the zeta tube with the same intention. A boom loud enough to reverberate off nearby buildings resounded as the two aliens collided mid-air. The half-Thanagarian was strong, but Kat wasn't quite sure how her skin would fair against the fast approaching concrete, so the Almeracian wrapped her arms around Fred's waist and flipped them so that she would take the brunt of the fall.
The impact sent them skidding across the pavement, concrete crumbling beneath them until they came to a halt. Silver blood glistened on the blacktop as she scanned her teammate for injuries, relieved to find that they were both still in fighting shape.
"I am so the sorry!" The words came tumbling off her tongue, frantically apologizing as she pulled herself up in time to blast a few approaching robots.
"Thanks for the cover!" Lilith called as she ducked into the trench the two aliens had made, earning a delighted thumbs up from Kat as her clumsy accident became beneficial.
