A/N- I'm back with a rewritten version of You're A Royal! This time the story is told in first person and will be in Korra's point of view. Chapters may alternate between her and Tahno. Also, remember this is a Modern AU. Credit goes to Stan Lee for creating the awesome comic book character that's mentioned in this story.

Keep these terms in mind while reading: Royal, Rebel, and a Medium who fits into both categories.

Enjoy!

I was never the type of person who always dreamed about being the new girl.

I recall all the times in my seventeen years of living that I've been the new girl five times. There was an exception to those though, my godparents wanted me to have the best education. I didn't think it mattered at the time because I was ten and besides, I was more concerned with my own dilemmas going on each time I transferred schools. I couldn't really befriend anyone due to the fact that they were constantly switching what schools I could go to. My happiness didn't apply to them. I knew it was because they loved me like a daughter, but what I hated was not being treated as one. My godparents, Tenzin and Pema, gave me about as much respect as they would to a stray dog.

The problem with my life was this: it wasn't perfect. In fact, it was far from perfect; it was tragic really. My real parents were Tonraq and Senna Sabi who were drug addicts that deserved to die in that car accident. They had a very abusive nature. I should be grateful that Tenzin and Pema raised me though it's not like they were any better. It's one of the reasons why I don't trust many people and those who want my trust have to earn it.

Back to me being the new girl again though. Let me just say that, for the record, my status in Republic City High Prep was strange.

The high school was divided into two different groups. I assumed the people wearing expensive, hippy clothes were the Royals and the others who dressed as outcasts against society in leather outfits were the Rebels. When I first came here, I thought students being this separate from each other was optional until I was taken to the principal's office. His name was Mr. Amon and the vice principal was Mr. Lieutenant.

He said to me,"We have to take a test to determine your status at this school."

I asked curiously,"Why?"

"It's mandatory. All students are classified under certain labels. I don't expect you to understand our reasons for doing this-"

I interrupted Mr. Amon,"What if I don't want to be labeled? Why can't I just be myself?" I don't think he liked my response because he got angry after I said that.

His fist slammed on the paper stacked office desk.

Yeah, I angered him.

"Little girl," He said quietly and calmly as possible,"I am the person who makes the rules. If you don't cooperate with me, I will be forced to punish you-"

I laughed loudly at him, not caring at all how rude I was being,"Punish me? Who are you? The Punisher? Are you going to shoot me with a gun? That'd be terrible on your resume." Making references to comic book characters was a bonus for me,

Amon snapped his fingers at the vice principal. They spoke in hushed whispers while I remained seated in the chair in front of his desk. When they weren't looking (too wrapped up in their conversations), I left the room. I heard the bell ring as I quickly shut the door and ran away. Tons of kids filled the once empty hallway and that's when things got really complicated.

First off, I had no idea where I was going. Secondly, the voices behind me were most likely the two principals I was in the room with seconds ago.

I rounded a corner and knocked into somebody. The person turned and I got a good look of him. I remember seeing him this morning too. He still had the same black spiked hair along with his tight blue jeans and leather jacket. His amber eyes glared at me even though he had no reason to be glaring. Apparently, he had been talking to someone. Oops.

"Uh, it's you again. Who are you?"

I said boldly,"I'd like to ask you the same question."

I was still laying down on the floor and since the guy wasn't going to help me up I got up myself. I dusted my jeans off and zipped up my navy blue hoodie. My pair of black Converses squeaking against the floor. He looked me up and down and I started feeling insecure of my clothes.

He said,"My name's Mako and I'd prefer that you'd apologize to me."

"And I'd prefer that you apologize to me for being so rude." I shouldn't of said that; I was being a hypocrite because I've done the same thing earlier.

"Wow, aren't you a feisty one. Careful Mako, she might bite back."

I stared behind Mako to find another boy who, at the very least, was the complete opposite of him. He was a Royal that had black hair which reached to his neck and his whole outfit for today screamed nerd. He wore a diamond printed purple and black sweater with beige khaki pants and brown suede shoes. Talk about fancy. And his eyes were a pale blue.

I marched up to him and realized how much taller he was than me. Intimidated, I stepped back a bit hoping he didn't notice and said,"Just who exactly are you?"

The boy moved his hair out of his face and smirked at me,"That's for me to know and for you to find out. By the way," He pointed a finger a finger behind the direction I came from,"I think those two are mad at you."

I turned around only to be met by an angry pair of principals. Mr. Lieutenant grabbed my hoodie and dragged me over to Mr. Amon.

"You are in a lot of trouble."

Uh oh.

Detention on my first day was the least of my problems. Although, I did manage to make a new friend. The real issue with getting detention was Tenzin and Pema finding out that it happened which made me scared. Their punishments could be harsh. Sometimes they'd let me stare and not give me money to eat. Then, if that wasn't enough, I would get thrown out of our apartment for a month and forced to seek shelter from friends. Since I don't normally have friends, living in a motel or a neighbors home would be an option. It didn't matter to me what option they chose because either one was awful.

The couple chose both.

Bastards.

Luckily, I talked a lady into letting me stay in her apartment's basement and I told her it would only be a month so she let me live there for free. No one else occupied the room and it was me alone. I figured my so called 'family' wouldn't bother to visit.

My residence so far was an inadequate basement in a building blocks away from my, sorry, Tenzin and Pema's place. The landlord didn't mind my presence and was kind enough to give me an air mattress to sleep on. Thankfully, there was a bathroom available. However, since it was early November, I was left to freeze in the basement with nothing but I blanket to keep me warm. Now I see why nobody lived here before.

As for school? I had to take a test to decide whether or not I was a Royal or a Rebel. I wasn't sure how I felt about it; the school was divided and somebody had to fix it.

That somebody was going to be me.
