The sound of the circus filled her head. Families laughing and music playing. Popcorn popping and the smell of ponies. Samantha found her seat. She looked around and one man particularly caught her eye. He was dressed in black, his outfit much too formal for the circus. He was alone. She recognized him as Bruce Wayne; the famous multi-millionaire. The circus was a strange place to find such an important man, but businessmen must have fun too. He seemed to be eager for the show to start. He looked around and saw Samantha looking at him. He gave a small smile and she returned that smile back. At that moment, Samantha felt a strong pain and bent over. She was totally silent except for her deep breaths. First, she saw the guy, Bruce Wayne, that was sitting next to her pull off this black suit to reveal a black outfit with the Batman sign on it. He had also out on his mask. He was Batman. Her vision went dark and next she saw the tight-roping act. A women, man, and a teenager boy was involved in this act; the whole family. Then, she saw a tall, man wearing an all black and grey suit, holding a gun; some 100 feet away by the entrance. He shot the gun at the women; she fell. Next, at the man by her; he fell as well. Lastly, the last bullet shot through the boy and he joined his parents. All three dead. The feeling left Samantha and she sat up straight and saw Bruce by her now.

"Are you okay, miss?" he asked.

"You—you're Batman!" she whispered and ran away. Samantha was confused. What just happened? She did not understand it at that moment, but that was the beginning of her powers. First, she saw a vision, and then she will find out her air-bending powers. She will not use her vision powers for a very long time.

She began to walk around aimlessly until she noticed that the program was starting. She saw some elephants and jugglers and clowns. Soon enough, the tight-roping act came. She got nervous. No way will there be a man, women, and boy in this act. Sure enough, that exactly who she saw; exactly like in her vision. She started looking around frantically. She headed towards the entrance and there, she saw the exact man holding the gun. Bang. The women was down. Bang. The man was down. Samantha could not believe this, but she had to do something. So, she ran towards the man and leaped onto him. Bang. The bullet did not touch the teenager on the rope. Samantha though was in a fight. The man was struggling but finally got up and started to run away. Samantha felt a rush of fury that she involuntarily put her hands parallel to her body and out came a rush of forceful air. The man immediately fell down, only bewildered for a moment and shot the gun behind him. The bullet penetrated Samantha's leg and she screamed and fell over. The teenager boy was there and caught her. Samantha fell unconscious and when she awoke, she found herself in a large, lab-type room.

"Good morning," said Bruce Wayne. Samantha didn't say anything, but she noticed the man as Batman.

"Your leg will be fine in a week or so," he held out his hand and said, "My name is Bruce, and as you already know, I am Batman." Richard was in the room the whole time, looking sympathetically to Samantha. He got up and walked over to her bedside. He held his hand out.

"Hey. My name is Richard Grayson. I—appreciate what you did last night." Samantha shook his hand, and that was the beginning of their friendship.

Samantha woke up; just having a dream of the first time she met her dear friend, Richard Grayson. She tried to remember what had happened last. Then, she felt the pain on the side of her head and remembered Grog.

"Good morning," said an old man with a brown robe and a long grey beard. He was behind Samantha, "My name is Saka. I'm hoping I will be your mentor. I would very much like to train the next Avatar." Avatar. There's that word again. Samantha got up and looked around. They were in a tent, but she saw a glimpse of the outside. She got up and walked outside. There, she saw miles and miles of trees in a forest and a lake nearby.

"I would thought to be in Alkia, but this looks like Earth," Samantha said quite quizzically.

"Ah, but you are on Alkia. Look up" Saka instructed her. Samantha did, to see that there were two bright stars shining down on her.

"The main differences on Alkia tan Earth, that I have heard of, is that Alkia has two suns. In addition, I have heard that Earth had machines and inventions powered by electricity. Alkia is not as advanced as Earth. In fact, we know about electricity but we believe that it is that that will bring the downfall of Earth. So, we have decided to live as common and plain as much earlier civilizations." Samantha understood and now thought, how in the world will I be able to live here? No cell phones, computers, or Internet. No televisions or PlayStations. No stereos, ipods, or toilets that flush (I assume). This will be a nightmare…

"Where exactly is Alkia?" Sam asked wearily.

"In the fourth quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy," replied Saka, "Not as far as you would think. On of those Suns is actually your sun. I would say it was 200,000,000 miles from Earth. I guess there's no way of escaping now." He got up and an expecting look on his face.

Then, Grog entered and said, "It is time for the meeting. Saka, take Katara. I want her delivered there safely." With that, he left. Samantha was too confused and tired to bother to ask. She just rolled with flow.

"Time to go. Follow me and listen to my instructions. Oh, and also, here, you will be directed to as 'Katara.' I will advise you to leave your old name behind." Saka left and walked around the tent to where there was a giant animal. It looked like a giant, fury bison. It had a straddle on like a horse and was breathing heavily. Saka took a great leap and in one graceful movement, he was on the bison's back. Saka looked down at Samantha, who will now be addressed as Katara, with an expecting look.

"Are you expecting me to get on this thing?" Katara asked.

"Why, of course, this is the air bender's favorite way to travel." Katara sighed and tried to climb the giant bison's side.

"That's not the way you do it. You are the Avatar. You have the ability to do a giant bounce type move to get on him."

"Will you tell me what the moves are to get on him?"

"Yes, at a later time. Look, we don't have time now for this. We have a big Counsel Meeting with the Bender Leaders. The Bender Leaders shall be there as well." And with that, Saka lifted his hand in such a way that Katara was instantly lifted and placed on the bison.

"Hut hut, Bore Gudum," Saka said and they lifted of the ground and started to fly. Two Suns, magical powers, a new name, and a flying bison… what more to expect?
