11:54 AM. THE SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE

y/n walks into the cell without a word, aang following behind her. it gets locked behind them, a member of the forty one division standing outside to guard the two. they are benders, they could get up to any sort of mischief. 

"there are many who never imagined this day would come, myself included," iroh says to aang. 

"can i ask you something?" aang asks. "uh..."

"forgive me," iroh says, bowing to the two benders. "i'm iroh, son of fire lord azulon. and, of course,"

"why did the fire nation start this war?" y/n falters. she had never thought that before. 

"ah," iroh nods. "some people say it is within our nature to expand and consume like fire itself. others believe that true stability in the world can only happen under our rule, so the drive to conquer is the drive for peace and unity,"

y/n scoffs, looking down. 

"but peace comes from respecting life, not killing and destroying it," aang says, looking at iroh. 

"a noble sentiment, avatar," iroh starts. "but in the end, for most of us, it doesn't matter how this war started. it only matters how it can end. and the belief is by capturing you," iroh motions towards aang. "the fire nation can finally bring that about,"

"is that what you believe?"

iroh makes a face, letting y/n believe something else. he doesn't believe that? he believes the fire nation will lose?

"i must leave, but i look forward to many more conversations, avatar," iroh bows towards aang and then looks over to y/n. "and you miss...?"

"y/n,"

"and miss, y/n," iroh repeats, committing her name to memory. and for his nephew's cousin.  "in the meantime, i'll have some jasmine tea sent to the both of you. it's quite soothing," he bows, leaving. y/n smiles, looking back at him. 

aang watches as the fire nation guard turns around. he hangs his hands through the gaps of the cell, airbending the key from the fire nation guard's belt into his hand. 

the guard turns around, y/n whistling as she looks around. aang hums like they're not doing anything suspicious. which looks really suspicious. the guard turns back around, as y/n and aang look at each other with smiles on their faces. 

"you're a smart kid,"

"thanks y/n!"

💧

the two benders walk softly through the ship, looking around. none of them have been on a ship like this before. 

they walk down the corridor, before y/n hears a noise. she pushes aang into a room, quickly opening the door. and closes it behind her. 

she puts her ear to the door, listening to some people march past. 

"woah," aang mutters, looking at the room. which seems to be a bedroom. the two look around, aang seeing a book as y/n spots a drawing. 

two males. one of them, looking like the prince and the other, looking like that guy she held eye contact with. he's very handsome. 

"y/n, look at this," aang says, letting y/n drop the picture back and give him her attention. aang shows her a book, almost like a diary or a journal. she flicks through the pages, seeing the different drawings and writings about the past avatar's. "the avatar's,"

"should we take it?" y/n asks as aang nods. she gives it to him, the bald male putting underneath the back of his top. 

y/n tiptoes to the door, putting her ear against it as she spots something. 

"hey, aang?" aang turns to her, his big brown does eyes looking at her, expectingly. she smiles, pointing at his staff. "that's yours, right?"

aang nod, y/n grabbing it and throwing it to him. aang smiles, catching it. 

💧

the door opens, the two benders peeking their heads outside. they have navigated themselves to find an escape. 

"yes, sir, right away," they hear as they hide behind the boxes. aang looks out from one, both of them running to hide somewhere else as a guard holds a bucket and almost walks to their direction. 

"are you ready to run?" y/n whispers to the younger boy. aang nods, slowly, thinking about it then nods faster. is he ready? no. but he's got a friend with him. he'll be okay. they'll be okay. "come on,"

the two run, y/n thankful that her long hair is partly tied up. 

"stop!" zuko shouts, his hand up. keahin runs out at the commotion, watching the two benders run. y/n flips water at a guard who tries to grab her and aang ducks as someone tries grab him. 

"we need to jump!" aang shouts at y/n who looks at him, like he is crazy. and he might be.

"what?!"

"jump!" aang takes her hand as they both jump, y/n screaming. aang grabs her, keeping her on his safe. yes, they're not as fast as he would like but at least they're not on the fire nation ship anymore. 

"oh my gosh, aang! if we survive this, i'm going to drown you!" y/n screams, looking down and seeing the icy water ready to catch her if she was to drop. 

keahin watches them struggle with a chuckle. this is amusing. 

"open fire!" zuko shouts at the forty one division, who completely follow his orders. they all miss, aang's skill on his glider too great. even though there's an eighteen year old, practically, clinging on to him. "ah!" zuko grunts, throwing fire at the airbender and waterbender. it hits them, aang releasing hold on his glider, the two freefalling towards the sea. 

"oh my gosh, oh my gosh," y/n mutters, as the wind runs past her face. she tries to manoeuvre her body around to see aang and grab him. 

she reaches for his hand, pulling him close to her and aang grabs his glider. this is it. they're going to die. y/n can't waterbend a whole sea. she squeezes her eye shut as she feels someone grab her hand, and pull her and aang up. 

"y/n!" sokka says, pulling his older sister up onto appa. "oh, and hey kis," he says, pulling them both up. 

"sokka!"

zuko watches them with anger, firing another fire blast at them. y/n, sokka and aang, look at the fire flying towards them, with fear. 

a large shield of water comes up, stopping the fire from touching them. 

aang looks at y/n, who looks at sokka, who looks up at katara, who's smiling down at the three of them. 

katara looks down at her hands with a smile before scrambling to help her sister and new friend up. 

the four of them settle down, y/n stroking appa softly. she hugs both her siblings; being apart from them for about an hour. 

"alright, alright," sokka says, tapping her back which results in her oldest letting go of him. katara lets go of y/n and the four, stay quiet for a small while as appa flies them high above the clouds. 

"this change everything," y/n starts. "we know that, right? the firebenders aren't going to give up until they you, aang," 

"y/n's right," sokka starts. "they're going to keep coming after you,"

"which means we can't go home," katara concludes. y/n's eyebrows furrow. she loves her home. "it would put everyone in danger," but her younger sister is right. "so where would we go?"
