Chapter 14: The Awakening

Izzie was sitting at the nurse's station drinking tea. Alex came up beside her and sat down.

"What's that you're drinking?" he asked.

"Jasmine tea."She said as he looked her. "Iroh got me into it." She laughed.

"Who's Iroh?" Alex asked.

"He's a patient up in psyche. He thinks' he's been taken from his world and put in ours." She replied.

Alex Laughed. "That's not funny Alex!" Izzie said.

"My guy is better." Alex still laughing.

"What?" Izzie said.

"My guy is unconscious but his friend is convinced he can save the world." Alex said.

"What?" Izzie couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah he's the avatar or something." Alex still laughing but Izzie froze.

"Azula was after the avatar. He was still unconscious. It was the most powerful thing I ever saw."

Iroh's words echoed in her head.

"Izzie, Izzie are you okay?" Alex asked he had stopped laughing.

"Who is this guy?" she asked looking concerned.

"His name's Aang, he's about 12 years old." Alex said knowing he shouldn't give away patient details but it was Izzie.

"12? You said he's the Avatar?" she said.

"Yeah that's what his friend says, how do you know about this avatar thing?" Alex wanting to know what Izzie was up to. "You're not meant to get involved with patients." He reminded her.

"It's nothing, just something Iroh said. I have to go." She got up quickly and ran off.

Back at the reception desk; Sokka still argued about seeing Aang.

"You have to let us see him!" He shouted at the girl at reception.

"No I'm sorry." She said. Izzie was walking by.

"But he's the Avatar!" Sokka shouted. Toph took Sokka's hand and brought him away as people were staring. Izzie had stopped suddenly when she heard the word avatar.

"What did you say?" Izzie approached Sokka and Toph. "About the avatar I mean."

"The avatar master of all elements, you know about him?" Sokka answered.

"No not really. Do you know of an old man, Iroh."

"Yeah, he's firenation." Sokka said while Toph hit his shoulder.

"He helped save Aang and Katara at Ba Sing Se."Toph said then turned to Izzie. "Is he here?"

"Yeah in the hospital, but is this avatar thing real?" she asked.

"Yeah Aang is the avatar!" Toph said.

"But your just kids?" Izzie said looking worried.

"Yeah, but he's the only one who can stop the war. Do you know where he is? My sister Katara's with him."

In Aang's room, Katara cry's at his side.

"Please Aang wake up..." she said softy.

Then Toph, Sokka and Izzie came in.

"Sokka, Toph!" she shouted as jumped up and went over to them.

"Katara!" Both Toph and Sokka said as Katara hugged them both.

Alex came in. "what's going on?"

"Just helped reunite a family." Izzie smiled.

"Katara..." a small voice whispered. Katara turned around; Aang had opened his eyes a little.

"AANG!" she shouted. "Your okay!" she hugged him and Sokka and Toph joined in too.
