A/N: This takes place in the same universe as Reincarnation. This was a tough prompt to write because Kane did not want to share his thoughts with me. They do that. Anyway, anything you recognize does not belong to me.

Kane had always dreamed of golden eyes. He was a young boy when the dreams started. At 13, the dreams of a scarred, golden eyed boy getting off of a ship demanding to know where they were hiding Anna seemed more like a fantasy than anything else. As an adolescent, he was upset by the fact that in his dreams he was always a girl. A girl who kind of looked like him but could do fantastic things with water.

His dreams evolved over the next year to include the golden eyed boy chasing her, trying to catch his friend, Anna. Kane thought he knew why his neighbor appeared in these dreams; he'd had a small crush on her for a while now. What baffled him was why everyone seemed to be of the opposite gender in these dreams. His best friend Thomas was a girl, Anna was a guy with extremely random blue tattoos all over her and Suzy was a boy. His older brother at that. He would privately scoff at the idea of Suzy being a guy. He didn't know of anyone more girly than her. Not wanting to be made fun of, he wisely kept all these dreams to himself.

He saw the boy promise to save him from the pirates; only to tie him to a tree and ask him about Anna, in exchange he offered his dream self a necklace. Kane never told anyone how fast his heart had been beating when he woke up to the feeling of the whispered promise in his ear. Like his dream self, Kane found himself wondering how the boy got his scar then promptly scoffed at himself. He was a dream character, not a real life person. Why in the world would it matter how that boy had gotten his scar.

The boy with the golden eyes didn't let him sleep in peace. He would show up on random nights, with no discernable pattern. He dreaded the one that recurred more than all of them, the two of them in a green cave and the girl touching the boy's scar before offering to heal it. Then the world around them would explode in flames. Kane would wake up from these dreams trembling in rage and betrayal, with the feeling of the ruined skin under his fingers.

During the next year he saw the boy, Zuko (what kind of a name was that anyway?) come to join them in a very interesting upside down structure. Kane could feel how angry he was with Zuko in his dreams and treated him horribly. When awake, Kane could figure out no reason why the girl, Katara (what was up with the names?), was so pissed at Zuko. He wondered how she could think that Zuko would forsake his family to join them without really knowing anything about Katara, Toph, Aang and Sokka.

Eventually Katara forgave Zuko (about time, in Kane's opinion) and hugged him. The first time Kane saw Katara hugging Zuko, he woke with a feeling that he was finally home. Kane pondered over that for a bit but shrugged and let it go. After all, he had a test that morning and needed to ace it if he wanted to get into medical school.

Another year and the dreams changed again; this time Zuko would leap in front of lighting to save her. Kane hated these dreams for he didn't know which ending he would see. The first one was the worst, Katara could not get to Zuko in time and the golden eyes would never open again. Kane woke up from those dreams shaking with a profound sense of loss.

The second one didn't make much sense to him, Katara would save his life, spend days taking care of the young man to make sure that he was healing properly and then go to Aang and confess her love for him. This one left Kane baffled, wondering if his dream self was delusional.

Kane's personal favorite was the third ending, the initial events being the same as second ending but then Katara would stay with Zuko. This ending had a sense of rightness to it that left Kane in a very good mood when he saw this version of the events.

Kane didn't dream about Zuko and Katara's story after his first year of medical college. The dreams that had been such an integral part of his life for the last six years became memories for him. In a way he missed them but was too busy with school to give it much more than a passing thought.

The next few years passed in a blur for him as he graduated from med school, did his internship and landed a coveted position in a great hospital. He loved being a doctor and genuinely loved to help people. Which is why when he heard that a corporation was taking over the hospital he was furious. He stormed to the office where he knew the new owners were waiting. Everything inside him screeched to a halt as the lady in the office turned to look at him.

Here (at last!) were the golden eyes from his memories.
