Freshen up

"Suki?" Katara waved the teen down on the street. When she woke up everyone was gone in the morning and she went walking around the city to find someone but it took all morning to find just Suki.

"Morning," Suki was with a group of elderly people that were homeless in the park, one was handing out coffee from a 3 gallon Gatorade brand cooler that had a dispenser at the bottom. An old woman handed Suki an old mug of coffee and Suki smiled handing her a dollar to pay.

"Where's the boys?" Katara asked as she sipped the coffee.

"Don't know, they were gone by the time I was awake," Suki offered her some of her coffee, Katara took the old mug and didn't dare look in before drinking. It was strong but tasted burnt.

"Is Aang okay?" She asked handing her the mug back.

"He'll be okay, just with the fire before and some hard core shit and all, I think lee relapsing triggered it again a little," Suki sighed as she drank more of the coffee.

"Like the blue dragon stuff?" Katara asked confused.

"Shh, don't talk to loud about them, no gang talk with people around," Suki hissed wide eyed frantically.

"But still, did they hurt you guys?" She pursed her lips worried a little and Suki nodded.

"Lee was really involved and when him and Aang became close.. they used Aang to be blackmail, and Aang almost died because of it, he got stabbed and Lee had to bring him to a hospital, we can't afford a hospital," Suki looked into the mug as she gripped it tightly.

"Aang got stabbed? I'm so sorry he's such a good person and always is optimistic, where he stabbed? The leg?" Katara was shocked and felt sick at the thought of something happening to Aang like that.

"The chest," Suki pointed to her diaphragm.

"Kat! Suki!" Aang yelled from down the sidewalk waving excitedly, Lee was a few meters behind him with a hand in his pocket and had a bag in the other.

"Yo aang," Suki smiled. Katara waved back happy to see the others.

"I got my hair done!" He ripped off his hood and showed them his shaved head with brown fuzz but below his ears was a small fade to the buzz.

"Lee took me to a barber and I wanted my hair buzzed again but he added this cool fade!" He spun around showing the girls as Lee walked over finally.

"Looks awesome aang," Katara high fived him as Aang was basically jumping from excitement.

"You spent money on a barber?" Suki raised a brow.

"Went to the store while he was getting it done and got clippers from walmart, had some cash to spare," Lee shrugged but had a small smile seeing how happy it made Aang.

"He wasn't doing well when he woke up so I thought this might help," he pursed his lips and Suki nodded handing him the coffee.

"Barbra's coffee?" Lee sipped it.

"Only Barbra's coffee," she smiled.

"Barb, coffee like this should be sold at the cafes of Paris, well done," Lee called over to the homeless woman that was chatting with the others.

"Thank you Liam," she called back over.

"Liam?" Katara blinked confused.

"Lee gives everyone a different name, there's Liam, Asher, Ethan, Blake, Danny, Zach," Aang listed and lee nodded.

"And lee is just the name for us then?" She asked slowly raising a brow.

"Most of the teens know me by lee or Asher, I told the elderly Liam and blake, Danny and Zach so people don't know who I am, cops, store managers, middle age soccer moms, and my last name is like James or something, basic," Lee shrugged and Aang laughed a little.

"Gang shit," Suki waved him off.

"It's smart," Katara grinned.

"If You need me to shave your head, let me know," Lee smirked looking at the clippers in the bag.

"You shave my head you'll loose your fucking teeth," Katara whispered softly with a smile.

"Hm, offers on the table," he shrugged again as the other two snickered.

"I'll give Barbra her mug back and we can get going," Suki chugged the last of the coffee and went to the group to give the mug back.

"Kat I wanted to apologize for last night too, I'm really embarrassed," Aang blushed rubbing his short hair a little as Lee crossed his arms looking away.

"Don't apologize for that ever, it's not your fault," Katara put her hand on his shoulder wide eyes and he smiled nervously.

"I just don't want you to be annoyed if it happens again and I-I don't know if it will but I've been getting better," Aang flushed red more.

"I use to get night terrors when I was little after my mom died, I get it, it does get better," Katara offered and aangs eyes lit up wide and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you," Aang mumbled.

"You'll get through it, and it's okay for it to take time, just heal," Katara hugged him back. He smiled more feeling relieved by her words.

"Aw lee are you third wheeling?" Suki snorted walking back as lee lit a cigarette.

"Feels like babysitting," he said flatly.

"Come on little children, onward to another destination," Lee waved them on as he started walking with the cigarette between his lips.

"Where are we going?" Katara asked as she and Aang were to last to follow.

"I have some friends we can meet up with," Lee told them casually.

"It's not mai is it?" Suki made a face.

"And ty Lee and bandit and haru and all them," he nodded and Suki groaned with her head falling back.

"Fine then I'm only having with bandit and haru," she glared back.

"Who are they?" Katara asked again.

"Other teens that are either homeless or in the system," Aang told her as they walked behind the two older teens.

"Bandit?" She smiled hiding her laugh.

"She's a runaway and if the cops find her she goes to juvie or something," he shrugged.

"Fun, can't wait to meet them," she giggled as she rolled up her sleeves while they walked through the city.
