The most special thing about me was always my mind.

"You've gone mad Sokka!"

A cerebral talent that always helped me see holes and improvements in planning an attack or protecting other people.

"Everything is gonna be fine you're just...not right mentally right now."

My drive and passion that always forced me to never give up and have the mentality of a true warrior.

"About the same time you got kicked out by The Council for being a failure"

And lately...I've noticed that I've been beginning to lose the most special thing about me.

"Are you sure this is a good idea Sokka? I think maybe we should call this mission off."

But it's weird, because suddenly at this moment I feel like I've gained something.

"Something's wrong with Suki! She's not breathing!"

Something powerful

"What you're failing to realize is that the sole reason why they are gone is because of a bad call that YOU made Sokka."

Something hungry

"Everything that you've described to The Council doesn't even make sense. Stop trying to save your ass and tell the damn truth!"

Something that I feel the need to...embrace

"The Council hereby strips the ranking and authority of one Sokka of The Southern Water Tribe. I'm sorry Sokka but you're not mentally stable enough for the position. You've gone...Crazy."

I am not fucking...crazy

"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy."

Azula began to give Sokka a look of distaste as he continued to mutter in his sleep about how he wasn't crazy. She shifted back in his kitchen chair uncomfortably and shook her head as Sokka continued on with his wild fever dream tirade on his couch.

"God he's been going on like this for almost an hour now." She said, grabbing her cup of freshly made Jasmine Tea and taking a sip. The last 50 minutes had consisted of him twitching and mumbling wild nothings under his breath.

"Maybe he had come down with an infection or sickness from that nasty gash he had gotten in his arm yesterday and was starting to feel the effects?" She thought.

Not like it would surprise her though, that cut was almost 2 inches deep and had taken her nearly all night to make it stop bleeding and dress the wound properly. He was lucky to even be breathing after all the blood he had lost, it would probably take him weeks for him to recover.

"Bastard should be thankful, if I hadn't had shown up he would have been dead in the middle of the street right now."

Azula exhaled and looked over to the kitchen counter where the bucket that she had filled with cold water and piece of cloth were. She lowered her teacup and began to lift herself off the wooden seat.

With an irritated murmur she quickly grabbed the cloth and set it in the bucket, expanding its shape as soon as it hit the chilly liquid.

Azula grabbed the bucket by the handle and began to make her way into the living room, setting the bucket right next to the couch and kneeling down once she arrived next to Sokka.

She leaned in to get a better look at the tired tribesman and softly placed the back of her hand on his forehead. Azula winced once she felt an almost burning heat hit her skin, she quickly retracted her hand and looked at the tribesman in shock.

"His temperature is higher than a Firebender with the flu, there is no way in hell he should even be alive if he's burning up this much."

Azula immediately removed the blanket from the top of him and grabbed the cold cloth from the bucket that was on her side. She gave it a light wring and began to press it on his forehead in a delicate manner earning a groan and light movement from him.

As Azula continued, she noticed an odd noise was beginning to come out of his mouth. It wasn't words or anything of that fashion. To her it almost sounded like...Growling?

She shrugged it off and rolled her eyes before dipping the cloth in the bucket and giving it another wring. But as she motioned her hand towards his forehead once more she found a large hand wrapped around her tiny wrist and quickly looked down to see a pair of steely blue eyes staring at her.

Azula jerked her arm away from Sokka in haste and began to rub her throbbing wrist.

"Careful you idiot, you almost left a mark." She scolded with venom in her voice. Azula stood up, grabbed the bucket on the floor and began to make her way towards the Kitchen.

"My apologies, I'm just not used to waking up to a fucking psychopathic princess trying to murder me!"

"I wasn't trying to murder you, you big oaf! I was trying to hel-"

Sokka got up from the couch and in an almost beastly behavior let out a deep growl at Azula, making her stop walking and turn around to throw him a look of bewilderment at the animalistic behavior he was showing.

" What the hell are you doing in my house? Came here to rub in your victory from last night? Cause if so we can go to the Tavern right now and correct that fluke victory of yours."

Azula stepped up to Sokka and grabbed his heavily bandaged wrist, motioning her hand towards it to make sure the injury had his full attention.

"After you decided to run off with the money that I rightfully earned by beating you, I was forced to chase you through the vacant and dark streets. Eventually I found your useless ass passed out on the road bleeding to death and then decided to be a decent person and drag your limp body ALL THE WAY TO YOUR HOUSE WHICH TOOK 10 MINUTES BY THE WAY!"

Sokka's anger began to die down once Azula started to go over everything that she had done for him. He began to hang his head in shame after realizing that he had just name called and shouted at the person who had done her best to save his life.

"Shit Azula...I'm sorry for yelling at you like that-"

Azula cut him off by pointing her finger into his chest with anger, she found herself a bit taken back at how solid it had felt. Given the fact that it had not felt even half as close to being this muscular last night when she was carrying him. She quickly shook off those thoughts and began to give Sokka a hateful glare.

"Don't you give me your useless apology you asshole, matter of fact I deserve more than an apology because if it wasn't for me treating your wounds and staying by your side to make sure you were okay and well rested then you probably would be dead right now!"

Sokka opened his mouth to speak but found nothing as Azula walked over to his table and grabbed the brown sack that was filled with the coin he owed her. She began to make her way to the door but then stopped once she grabbed the door knob and turned her head towards

Him.

"Oh and by the way you have no right to try to dismiss me for my mental state given the fact that YOU'VE BEEN GROWLING LIKE A STRAY DOG FOR THE LAST 10 MINUTES. Goodbye Snow Savage SLAM."

Sokka stood dumbfounded and still as the words from Azula's tirade began to seep into his mind. He didn't even know why he had been so aggressive and mean to her, he was never like that. Even when he was angry with someone, usually in situations like that he always maintained a cool composure.

A trail of curse words began to be let out as Sokka made his way towards his bathroom, he smelled of cement and alcohol and needed a shower immediately. For some odd reason the smell had been so strong too which was weird to him given the fact he had been in the same situation where he found himself passed out in the street after a couple of drinks and it certainly had not smelled this bad.

He began to find himself in a bit of a struggle as he tried to peel off his current long sleeve shirt that he was wearing. It had felt like it had shrunk by 2 sizes and was glued to his skin rather than have a loose fit like it was supposed too.

Eventually he found success in taking it off and tossed it to his bathroom floor as he made his way through the door, doing the same with his pants which also had oddly felt tighter too.

Sokka began to run hot water through his tub and started to dip his toe but paused once he realized he had forgotten to grab some soap from the cabinet that was behind his mirror.

He started to walk towards the cabinet, lowering his head so that he could get a better look at his heavily wrapped wrist. Sokka began to press on it lightly and raised an eyebrow in confusion. He had felt not even a lick of pain as fingers jabbed where he had been bitten the previous night.

Sokka hastily began to unwrap the gauze and came to shock when he found that his wounds were no longer there. They had just disappeared magically with no marks or scars left. He began to trace his fingers along his wrist with a puzzled look on his face, since when had his forearms been this veiny and firm?

He peered up to see what looked like an entirely different person in his reflection.

"WHAT THE HELL" Sokka shouted looking at his newly discovered muscular body. Sokka was already in good shape before but his build before was one of an Olympic runner that was made strictly for speed. His new and improved look now replicated the look of a world champion Earth Kingdom brawler.

His arms and biceps had doubled in size, his chest had sported a set of rock solid pecs along with a perfectly chiseled 8 pack of abs and his legs had grown to the size of oak tree trunks along with a total increase of vascularity on almost every muscle in his body. (A/N: Perfect Example, think Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine). A short chuckle came out of his mouth as he began to examine his seemingly flawless physique.

"Seems like I'm gonna need to take a trip to the Little Ba Sing Se Mall to get some new threads."

Sokka rubbed his freshly shaved stubble as he made his way through the busy neighborhood street. He was currently wearing the only thing he could fit which was an old dark blue Water Tribe top that was given to him by his Gran-Gran in hopes that he would grow into it one day and a pair of deep red Fire Nation pants which to his dismay had not matched at all.

As he walked past people in the streets he began to notice that he was being given a lot of stares, some in astonishment and some in disgust as he strolled past them. Oddly enough he could even hear the comments that they would whisper to their friends or under their breaths as he walked by.

"What the hell is he wearing?"

"Is that Sokka? That can't be him, he looks massive!"

"I heard from someone that he took that insane wench Azula to his home last night and bedded her to make up for some money he couldn't pay her"

"When did he get so sexy?"

"Look at him, I guess he really has gone crazy!"

Sokka let out a growl at that last comment and continued to make his way through the crowd. He stopped once he saw a familiar clothing hut with a large pink sign that read "Elegant Clothing" perched up on the roof for all to see. He clutched his bag of coins and sauntered towards the front entrance that seemed like he had shrunk as he lowered his head to enter.

A smile came across his face as he laid eyes on his old cheerful Fire Nation friend hanging up expensive looking tunics on the wall.

"TY LEE!" He shouted with glee, causing her to turn around and flash him a sparky smile at the recognition of his voice. That smile however dissipated to a look of confusion as she instead saw the figure of an almost beast of a man and not the regular slim body that her friend Sokka had possessed.

She soon found herself buried into his solid chest and being wrapped into his strong arms as he gave her a warm hug in affection after not seeing his friend for so long. Ty Lee eventually shrugged and gave him a hug back in response, she would be lying if she had said that she didn't miss seeing his goofy smile again. Although it was no longer a goofy smile he had carried now, it was more of a handsome grin now that he had more of a stronger jawline with more powerful cheekbones and...were those fangs?

"You have no idea how good it feels to see you again after so long Ty Lee. Especially right now given the fact so many weird things have been going on with me today." Sokka vented, making her dig her head into the middle of his chest a little more with a deep inhale.

"Mhm"

"I mean these past couple of months have been hell ya know with the whole council situation and everyone ignoring me and thinking that I'm crazy." Sokka continued, not noticing she was tracing her hand slowly up and down his impressive arm.

"Oh wow."

"And let me not even begin to tell you about who I saw last night. I FREAKING SAW AZULA! I mean you probably already know that given the fact you are always in the loop with things going on around here, but still! All of this is just so wild to me and I cannot process...Ty Lee why are you gripping my butt?"

Ty Lee's eyes widened and her body froze as she began to realize that she had molded her hands directly around Sokka's firm backside. Ty Lee immediately unclenched them and began to let out a nervous laugh as she backed away from Sokka.

"My bad I meant to um...hug your lower back." She assured , throwing him a sweet innocent smile with her hands clasped behind her back. Sokka nodded gullibly in response and let out a sniff once an unfamiliar smell began to hit his nose.

"You smell that? Something smells...damp?"

"Uh yeah let's just ignore all of that. You must be here looking for new clothes for the party tonight right? I mean you look like you need a whole heap of new clothes given your freshly developed...shape" Ty Lee said cutting off his initial thought. Sokka scratched the back of his newly shaved head and began to nod.

"Yeah I'm looking for something that speaks to me. Something fearless and strong, kinda like a uh...Wolf."

Ty Lee began to stroke her chin in thought then raised a finger once a bright idea hit her brain.

"I have an outfit that is perfect for everything you just described! Quick, follow me in the back. There's something that came in today actually that I think you would love!"

Ty Lee grabbed Sokka's hand and hastily dragged him through the store, making him almost trip and quickly regain his composure as he began to catch up to her speed.

They eventually found themselves going through some red curtains which were being hung in replacement of a door. Ty Lee began to clap her hands in excitement as she began to scan the boxes that were all stacked on top of each other.

"It's gotta be here somewhere, I just saw that box not even an hour ago...THERE YOU ARE!" She called out with delight, swiping the black stylish case from the top of the mountain of boxes.

"Some delivery boy came in earlier today with this and said it was something that his father used to wear but no longer wanted. But when I tried to get him money for it he said to make sure to give it to someone who deserved it and vanished. Given the large size of it I'd think it'd fit you and your other…" Ty Lee then began to clear her throat and give a lengthy look at Sokka from head to toe.

"Assets well...but anyways here! Check it out and tell me how you feel about it!" Ty Lee motioned the case towards Sokka and dropped it into his arms. He nodded in a show of thanks and began to remove the cover.

As Sokka's eyes began to examine the perfectly crafted Tangzhuang his newly white fangs began to show as a confident smirk grew on his face. The suit's color was a slick pewter grey with a unique black accent along each sleeve. Sokka leaned in to get a better look and noticed that the suit's satin pattern had mimicked what looked like a wolf's head as he glided his fingers over it in delight.

Sokka began to dig in the box and found a pair of dress pants to go with it. It followed the same design as the top but neglected the black pattern.

As he dug more he felt a cool metal object touch his finger. Curious, Sokka slowly pulled on slim metal and was surprised when it revealed to be a Shiny Golden Necklace with a pendant of a Black Moon attached to it.

"Oh cool, this even goes with the whole Wolf thing I was talking about too. It's so odd that someone would just give up something this nice for free; Anyways how much I owe you?" Sokka said with his eyes still glued to the jewelry in fascination.

Ty Lee shook her head and let out a bright smile. "Oh you don't have to worry about any type of payment Sokka, it seems like something you're really connected to so consider it free!"

Sokka looked up from his necklace with glee and instantly pulled Ty Lee into a heartfelt hug. Causing her immediately wrap her arms around him at direct contact and bury her head in his chest once again. "I appreciate everything you've done for me today, I definitely owe you one Ty Lee."

"Mmm, I can think of a couple things that are a bit more intimate than this that you can pay me back with."

"Hm? What was that?" Sokka questioned, loosening his grip a bit. Ty Lee abruptly pulled him back into her and inhaled deeply.

"Nothing nothing, I said nothing."
