I do so have magic powers! [ She protests, wondering why it suddenly matters to her. (Obvious answer: because it's Catra saying that she doesn't, and Adora always gets competitive when Catra is involved.) ] Just look at me. I can punch things way better like this.
I mean, I was already good at punching, but— watch.
[ To demonstrate, she takes a few steps back, gets down on one knee, and smashes her fist into the ground. It leaves a crater far larger than just the initial impact zone around her knuckles, huge cracks fanning out for at least a foot in every direction, and Adora raises her hand to show the complete lack of damage to herself. ]
It's not worth it, Catra. [ The suffering, the pain... the whole actually being evil thing, but she knows that doesn't have the same shock value to Catra as it did to her. Maybe they could change the Horde from within, eventually, but it would take too long. Adora can't go back to being a part of that terrible machine. ] We'll still have to take orders from Shadow Weaver. From Hordak. It could be years until we're in charge. Do you really want to go back to that?
