The feeling of someone poking at his back caused Zuko to wake up and groan "Katara stop."
He heard a giggle and felt his back being poked again. With an annoyed grunt he turned and was met with a pair of golden eyes instead of blue. It was Lu Ten. "What are you doing up hear buddy?" he asked.
He heard his lovely fiancée laugh from behind "Not the wakeup call you wanted huh Sparky?" she asked.
Zuko glared at Katara, she had gotten into the habit of calling him 'Sparky' like Toph which annoyed him to no end. "Not really Sugar Queen." He said smirking.
"Well come on I'm starving and you promised me breakfast since we aren't allowed to leave this dumb apartment." She mumbled. He groaned and got out of bed, for the past few days she's been upset about the fact that she and Lu Ten couldn't leave the apartment. But what could he do, Chan was after him and Katara, there was no way he'd let her go out alone, he didn't know how much longer he could last though, her puppy dog eyes are beginning to work.
"Katara please listen to me, it's not safe." He said grabbing her hand before she left the bed room with Lu Ten in her arms.
"Why is it not safe? Talk to me Zuko!" she says "I don't like the secrets!"
He looked away "I can't tell you and I don't want you to be scared."
She looked at him disbelievingly "I'm scared now Zuko! You're acting weird and I can't even leave this damn apartment and you won't tell me why!"
Zuko pulled her to him and felt tears on his bare skin "I'm sorry Kat, I'm so sorry." He was suddenly reminded of the night Mai left, those harsh words she said about being stuck in this ratty apartment. There was no way he'd let Katara walk away the same way Mai did. "Tell you what, how about you and Lu Ten go to the park today while I get school work done." He says.
Katara pulled away "Really?"
He nodded his head then sighed "Yes but you'll promise to call when you get there right?"
She kissed his lips "I promise. I love you."
With that she walked away to the room to get Lu Ten ready for their day out.
Zuko had a very bad feeling about this.
"Zhen get in here!" Chan called into the intercom.
Today was the beginning of his victory, no one could stop him now. The Agni's were going down today.
"Yes boss?" His second in command asked as he entered Chan's office.
"Any sightings of Katara Luna?" he asked. Everything had to be perfect for this plan. He knew Zuko was no fool and he would not let his precious fiancée and son out of his sight, but sooner or later they would have to be alone.
Chan could wait, he was patient.
"She and the baby just left the apartment. Are we clear to make a move?" Zhen asked.
"No, not yet. Let them have just an hour more of freedom, then she's mine." He said before going back to his work.
Zhen nodded his head "I'll ring you if there are any problems."
"You better Zhen, this has to be perfect. I will have no mistakes."
"Of course boss, you know me. It will be nothing more than perfect."
Once his second left Chan sat back in his seat with his hands rung together. Everything was all coming to plan, Zuko Agni will no longer be on top. Finally he would be brought down to his place.
Ozai Agni will no longer be on top in the business world or the gang world.
Azula Agni will pay for leaving him for business and playing with his heart.
Ursa Agni will pay for leaving his father in the altar for Ozai on the day of their wedding.
They will all pay.
For his father's sake.
Katara pushed Lu Ten's stroller down the sidewalk, they were already close to the park and she could help but breathe in the warm, fresh air.
Being stuck in the apartment was boring. After she finished all her school work, cleaned the house twice, and finally came to the end of a book series she was reading, she became bored. Not that she didn't love Zuko but being stuck with him so long got her annoyed.
She was happy that he finally let them go to the park. He was clearly unhappy about it but he would just have to deal.
When they got to the park Katara unbuckled Lu Ten and too him over to the swings.
She sat him down, made sure he was buckled and began to slowly push. The sound of his giggles filled her ears.
Katara was genuinely amazed by the turn of events in her life. When she first moved to this city she only had eyesight in Yale, to graduate as a doctor with her bachelors then maybe find someone on the way and then settle down. Then she and Sokka hit a bump in the road and could barely afford to eat that's when she took up Underground Street Fighting. She and her brother finally had enough money to survive and all was good. Then she got less and less popular and barely went into fights.
She wasn't worried since Sokka had already gotten a job and made decent amount of money. It still made her worry from time to time. She was closer and closer to becoming a doctor until that one day in Mr. Piando's class. It changed her life for the better. She found the man of her dreams and got the family she had always wanted.
If only her mother was here.
"Mommy! Fast!" Lu Ten said.
He had begun to say a few more words, Mommy had been one of the few. She felt her smile grow larger at him calling her mom, it made her feel like they were finally a family.
Lu Ten clapped his hands as Katara pushed him higher "Yay mommy!"
She giggled and brought him to a stop "Why don't we go get ice cream buddy? Don't worry I won't tell Daddy." She whispered putting a finger to her lips
Lu Ten copied her movement "No Daddy."
She chuckled and brought him into her arms. Her phone begins to ring and she couldn't help but roll her eyes as she answered her phone "Hello?"
"You promised." He said.
"Sorry we just got caught up in having so much fun!" she tried to keep her voice straight and not laugh at how ridiculous he sounds.
"Very funny Kat." He said sighing "I'm glad you guys are having fun."
"Hi" Lu Ten said.
Katara finally paid attention to where she was walking and saw a man in a suit in front of her. "Oops I'm sorry I should have been watching where I saw going."
"No problem ma'am." He said. The strange man had a sort of New York accent "But I do believe you need to come with me."
"What's going on Kat? Katara?!" Zuko's phone voice came from the phone.
"What do you mean?" Katara asked clutching Lu Ten closer to her "Do I know you?"
"No miss but my Boss would like to see you." He said flashing her a pearly white smile.
"Run Katara!" Zuko yelled from the phone.
Listening to her fiancée she pulled Lu Ten even closer and began to run, she kept the phone on her ear. "Keep going babe, get to the apartment."
"Oh I love it when they run." The man said from behind her "Get her boys!" he yelled.
Suddenly there were more men surrounding them. "Zuko." She says "There are too many of them."
"Show's over princess now let's go I don't have time for this, the boss doesn't like to worry either." He said then snapped as the men got closer.
"I'm sorry. I love you Zuko." She said before Lu Ten was ripped from her arms and a cloth came over her mouth and blackness surrounded her.
"Katara? Katara!" Zuko yelled into the phone. Seeing red his threw his phone against the wall and began to pace back and forth. They're gone and he couldn't protect them.
Chan had finally made his move.
"No!" he yelled and clutched his head. There was no way he could take down the Agni Kai's alone, he was going to need help and there was one person he knew who could supply him with weapons and would gladly help.
Nothing could stop him if his knew his only grandson had been kidnapped by his own enemy.
Ozai Agni.
Ohhhh Zuzu is going to have to put on his big boy pants and ask Daddy for help.
Hmm I wonder how Dear Grandpa Ozai with think of his Prized Grandson being kidnapped.
Hope you guys liked it! :D
