You huffed as the Gyatso children flung pieces of rock at you with their air bending. You knew that even though air benders seemed soft because all they seemed was to 'blow a gust of wind' at people, they did much more than that.
They trained their bodies to handle heavy weights and pushed their minds to the highest levels, therefore pushing it against being the strongest elemental users. Any element could be used with another. For example: both earth, fire, and water benders could use other elements to make their attacks more defensive.
Earth could use air to shot out shards of rock, water benders could create blizzards, and Earth benders could set pieces of rock on fire. But people have yet to use such tactics. Not that they needed to much more. Kuvira was gone. At least that's what they thought.
"How about we take a break guys?" You asked huffing, even though you had already sat down and had taken a water bottle in your hands. Meelo groaned at the request. "Aww come one! We haven't even got to the good part yet!" Meelo pleaded, huffing at your exhausted head shake.
"Can you stop being such a pus-" Meelo started, but cut his sentence short seeing the hard glare you gave him. Silently warning him to watch his mouth. He thought he could get away with it when it came to you and cursing. His parents had constantly done it when something went wrong and even though you were new to the scene, you had often done so lot as well.
"What was that?" You asked standing and walking over to the shivering boy, easily towering over him due to your adult height."N-nothing at a-all." Meelo said, just loud enough for you to hear. Mentally cursing himself at how he stuttered.
You held your hard gaze for another second before smiling brightly at him and patting his shaven head."Well, I'm gonna head inside and get ready for the Gala tonight. See you later!" You announced before heading to the door.
The kids wouldn't admit it to your face, but you were scary as fuck when you were mad and rarely happened. They knew that you were practically as frightening as their mother when they did something stupid and they gladly take the chance not to die.
You hummed quietly to yourself, smile present on your face as you closed your eyes walking to your room. Most people would wonder how you did so without falling over something, not realizing that one of your mentors was literally the daughter of the person who created metal bending.
You couldn't hear of feel a heartbeat thumping through the floors or walls. Well, that was until a body crashed against yours, making you fall butt first on the ground.
You groaned in pain, looking down at your now sore behind and rubbing it. Looking up, your mouth opened to apologize to the person you bumped into but your mouth shut promptly at who it was.
"Bolin?" You asked, not sure if it was him. If it was him, he had certainly grown out of overgrown puppy faze. His body was more sturdy and muscular, his hair had grown out neatly just above his shoulders and there was a slight show of stuble on his jawline.
"Yes, that's me." The boy- well man answered you, hissing as he touched the back of his bruised head. His eyes fluttered open to meet yours, zooming in your face and analyzing.
"Y/n!" He gasped, lurching his body forward so he was on all fours in front of you. He looked like a overgrown puppy all over again as his eyes shined with hope. You chuckled slightly, scoffing playfully while nodding at him. He launched his body into yours, engulfing you in his tight embrace.
You chuckled, ruffling his long hair between your fingers as he lifted you up in the air."Still the same puppy, I see." You murmured, making him pull back with a pout on his face."Well, sorry. I'm just happy to see my best friend after three years of her disappearance." Bolin sassed.
"Where have you been anyways?" Bolin asked, setting your body down. You patted his shoulder with a smile."Let's talk about this over a meal." You said, making his eyes light with the same love for food.

"So, basically what you're telling me is: Kuvira kidnapped you, forced you to be a test rabbit and threw you away before she escaped jail. And the past three years have been you hiding with the second and third generation Beifong family to help you get over your trauma and gain more strength in your powers." Bolin ranted as he ate the last bit of his noodles.
You nodded through a sad laugh. "The world is pretty shitty, ain't it?" You asked, making Bolin agree with a hum of agreement."Hey, um, did you ever tell Asami about this when you got here?" He asked hesitantly.
You scoffed before nodding your head in false affirmation."Yes, tel, the woman who nearly killed somebody for me. Of course I didn't tell her Bolin. Do you know what she do if she found out?" You asked Bolin, stuffing your face with noodles.
Bolin shrugged sheepishly."I don't know.... comfort you.?" Bolim stated even though it sounded like more of a suggestion. You shook your head fondly, taking put cash from your pocket and setting it on counter.
"We need to get ready for the Gala, I'm part of the entertainment and you're my backup singer." You said,pulling him to his feet.

(Outfit at top^)
The part had gone into full swing. There were people dancing, laughing, and conversating with each all over the floor. You had met Bolin's mate,Opal,. To say the Alpha was pleasant company would be the understatement of the year.
As time went on, Asami walked onto the stage that was in front of everyone and tapped the mic for their attention." Hello Republic City," Asami started as the crowd cheered.
"The Gala for Future Industries newest invention has been a spectacular success! Now it's time I think we give you all a nice reward!" Asami trailed of suggesting other things with hooded eyes before chuckling.
"Give it up for our very special guest and a long time friends of mine: Y/n Y/L/N and Bolin!" Asami shouted as the both of you stepped on the stage.
You walked in front of the stage as Bolin began to sing his voice fitting oddly well.
[Bolin]
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love
Than if you were alone
Memories turn into daydreams become a taboo
I don't want to be afraid
The deeper that I go
It takes my breath away
Soft hearts electric souls
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes
Is this taboo?
The room suddenly warped in and out, adding an effect to you and Bolin's performance. You could stare as the crowed arose with goosebumps.
[Chorus # 1]
Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
[Y/n]
I think of you from time to time
More than I thought I would
You were just too kind
And I was too young to know
That's all that really matters
I was a fool
[Chorus #2]
Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
A projection of you and Bolin appeared, circling the entire ceiling in color.
[Y/n]
Those thoughts of past lovers
They'll always haunt me
I wish I could believe
You'd never wrong me
[Bolin]
Then will you remember
Me in the same way
As I remember you
[Bolin & Y/n]
Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
Baby we built this house
On memories
Take my picture now
Shake it til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories
[Bolin, Y/n, and Chorus]
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
In your house of memories
Woah, woah
Promise me a place (woah, woah)
The song came to an end as you and Bolin panted slightly. Walling off the stage, you smiled as people crowded you and Bolin. They patted your back and shook your hand, amazed with you talents.
Thr party had sprung up once more when a lanky man had walked up to the group of people you were standing with."Hello, I'm prince Wu of the Earth kingdom and a major helper to the Avatar." The 'prince' bragged slightly, smiling with what he thought was a flirty grin although it just looked cringey.
Korra laughed at his statement, knowing damn well that he had barely had anything to do with saving the world situations, but she wouldn't say that to his face knowing how whiney he'd get.
You smiled back politely, skaing his hand and offering your name in return.
You didn't really pay attention after that, choosing to mingle with others. When you had came back to your both old and new friend group, Wu was practically draped over Asami. Touching In places he most likely wouldn't if Korra was there but the woman was no where to be seen.
Marching up with a glare, you took Wu's hands off of Asami with a deathly grip. Startled, Wu turned towards you in slight fear. The normally calm yet cocky Alpha now looked like he was about to shit his pants.
"I don't think Korra would appreciate you touching her mate like that. Wouldn't you agree,Wu?" You asked rhetorically, spitting the words at him through clenched teeth.
The man nodded wordlessly through a whimper and scampered off into the crowd. You turned to look at Asami but she was already gone. Sighing, you left the never ending party, texting Bolin that'd you had left.
