Bato of the Liquid Clan {2}

"Come on," you said gently, "We should get going." He nodded and walked behind you.

Later that day, you and Aang were on Appa, ready to go. The others were packing up right in front of you. Bato and Sokka moved on without acknowledgement. Katara, however, walked up to you.

"Good luck," she said.

"Okay. You too," Aang replied. You just waved. She then walked out of the abbey with the guys. The Superior then walked up to you.

"Guess we should be moving on," Aang said, moving around.

"That would be best," she replied. Aang led Appa out of the abbey too. You could see the three of them going down a different path.

"I'm an idiot, Y/n," he said, pulling Appa in the opposite direction.

"I'm not justifying or excusing your actions..." You trailed off, "... but you were scared of being abandoned and in the end, you fessed up."

"Yeah, at the cost of my friends and their trust," he argued. You placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"They'll come around."

"You don't know that."

"... I do."

You guys arrived back to where the ship was docked.

"Looks like we're going alone, guys," he said to you, Appa, and Momo. You nodded.

"Avatar! You must leave!" The Superior suddenly appeared.

"Okay, I get it. Everybody wants me gone," Aang replied.

"A group of people came to the abbey looking for you," she warned.

"Who?" You inquired.

"A fierce-looking woman with a horrible monster and a young man with a scar."
You and Aang looked at each other.

"Zuko," he said.

"The beast was using the scent of an eyepatch to follow you," she continued.

"Eyepatch?" Aang repeated questioningly. You then grabbed Aang's arm.

"We have to get to the others," you said hurriedly.

You and Aang were above the abbey. Soon, the shirshu burst through the gates of the abbey, smelling your scent. On the back of it was a paralyzed Katara and Sokka.

"Those idiots," you muttered. Iroh, Zuko, and June were sitting on its back as well. When it looked up, you launched towards it. Using your water, you whipped it under its chin. The beast stood on its hind legs, throwing everyone off. Not able to keep its balance, it fell over. You and Aang landed on the ground next to it. June and Nyla recovered, running after you again. This time, though, Appa arrived and headbutted the lighter Shirshu into a building. Then Zuko appeared.

"I got this Y/n," he said. You nodded and backed off. You can't fight all of his battles for him. As the two faced off, Zuko's fire and Aang air collided, creating an explosion. The both of them went flying onto opposite roofs. Ignoring them, you ran over to Sokka and Katara, kneeling next to them.

"Y/n!" Katara said. You shushed her and brought your water out, healing the open wound on the back of their necks. You hauled both of them up to lean against the wall. You then grabbed the backs of their necks. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath out. Slowly, you removed your hands, and the toxin that was left came through their skin. The two of them writhed a little bit, but it was over soon. With Appa now paralyzed, Aang was fighting off Zuko and June by himself.

You ran over to a large container of perfume and smelt it. Then you grimaced. Then you smirked.

'If that thing sees with its nose...'
You broke the container with your foot, letting the contents spill out. You bent it up into a folding wave above them. Then you moved your arms down. The perfume came down in between them.

Almost immediately, Nyla began to grow erratic at being blinded. It threw June away, hitting both her and Zuko with its tongue, before running around sporadically. Then it jumped over a building and ran away.

After that whole fiasco, you and the others were on Appa, riding away into the sky.

"So... where do we go?" Aang asked nervously.

"We're getting you to the North Pole," Katara replied.

"Yeah, we've lost too much time as it is," Sokka added.

"Thought y'all wanted to see your father?" You asked.

"Of course we do Y/n," Sokka replied, "But Aang and you are our family, too. And right now, you need us more." You blinked at him before covering your face with your hand.

"Woah, you okay?" Katara asked gently. You nodded.

"Yeah, sorry," you replied, pulling yourself together. "I just... didn't expect to be included."

"We of course you are, silly," Katara said, "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you and your help." You looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you, you two."

"Oh Y/n," Aang said. You turned to him.

"Yeah?"

"I... wasn't sure if you wanted this still, but..." He held out your mother's eyepatch.

"Where did you get that?" You asked, taking it from his hand.

"Zuko asked me to be sure I got it to you," he replied teasingly. You smiled, even though you knew he was joking.

"How sweet of him," you said sarcastically, "I should thank him the next time I see him."

Okay, so to clear any misconceptions—your mother gave you an eyepatch she had to cover your golden eye. You have heterochromania—a blue eye(Water Tribe) and gold eye(Fire Nation). You'd be recognized easily with your two colored eyes, so you've hidden one, to pass off as a Water Tribe member.

Ja ne!
