Guys I just read Dirty Laundry holy sHIT

"I thought you said you were going to show me fire bending?"

"I did, too?" Keith stared at the water in his hand, confused. It shook for a moment before falling to the ground. The boys had no clue what had happened.

"Are you a water bender?" Lance tilted his head. What was with the fire nation clothing if he controlled water?

"N-no... I'm a fire bender from the Fire Nation who should only be able to control fire! So why the hell did I just control water?!" Keith ranted, beginning to panic. What was even going on? How had he bent an element he couldn't control?

"Hm," Lance was deep in thought for a moment. He could have an explanation, but surely it couldn't be true. Keith should have known by now. "Can you bend air and earth?"

"No!"

"Have you ever tried?"

"Uh... N-no?" Keith's eyes widened in realization. Surely, surely he wasn't the avatar.

"Try it,"

"Um, okay..." the boy stammered anxiously, then he experimentally waved his hand around, concentrating on making the air swirl around his fingers. Of course, a tiny whirlwind came from him. He looked shocked, then put his hand down into the snow, reaching the ground. Slowly, he lifted his hand, bringing part of the earth with it.

"Oh my gosh, you're the avatar!" Lance exclaimed, eyes brightening excitedly. "I'm face to face with the freaking avatar, this has to be the best day of my life!"

"This has to be the worst day of my life..." Keith said at almost the exact time Lance did. "My mom will kill me if she finds out!"

"Wow, tough parents?"

"Galra parents!" he snapped. The response took a moment to register in Lance's mind. When it did, however, he began freaking out with him.

"Wait, your mom is a Galra?! Would she actually try to kill her own son?!"

"Well, at the very least she'd disown me!"

"Dang, that's... harsh." Lance didn't know how else to reply. He wouldn't have known what to do if he found out he was the avatar who lived with the Galra. "What're you gonna do?"

"I have no clue... I can hide it, I'm sure, but if anyone saw me..." Keith trailed off and began frantically looking around. Then, he remembered.

Lotor had pushed him over here. He had to have watched everything. There's no way he would pass up the opportunity to watch Keith become all red and flustered like he was. Keith turned to where he remembered Lotor to be.

And, surprisingly, no one was there. The young 'prince' of the Galra empire was nowhere to be seen.

Keith let out a loud sigh of relief. Red, who was strangely calm, quiet, and out of sight, suddenly appeared next to the young avatar and meowed urgently. He knew what the fox cat was trying to say.

"Red says I should run away."

"What?!" Lance exclaimed in disapproval. Surely this kid wasn't going to just pack up and go! "You can't just run!"

"Why not?"

"Because that's not what the avatar is supposed to do!"

"Look, I'm no avatar. I'm not going to be the person who'll save the world or keep order or whatever the hell the avatar is supposed to do." Keith argued. "My whole life has been around people who's goal is to kill me! I can't go back to that!"
