A/N: I took some time to get an idea, but I ended with this and liked it. Although ut did end up longer than intended, and strayed from the trope a little much, so I split it up, and part two is (hopefully) coming with 08/02:"Agni Kai", and part three is coming with 16/02:"Intimacy".
NOTES:
• I'm bumping the rating up to T now, just to be safe.
• Not connected at all to 04/02: "Don't hurt her/him."

Sokka's gaze swept over their group appreciatively. They were a great team. And had some even better sub-teams. Like Team Liquidy-Hot, for example. There was no better combination than Zuko, Katara, and their awesome harmony. He'd almost been fully distracted by them in the "Melon Lord battle", so awe-struck was their display of power was he. And Sokka knew he could count on them to beat Azula. If anyone could be that mad woman, it would be them, together. Or in turns, at the very least. As much as he admired Zuko's skill and determination - they all knew the firebender's gremlin sister was the better bender. But with Sokka's baby sister at his side, he would beat her. The Water Tribe warrior trusted in that. Firmly.
