Chapter VII: Fears and Desires

Korra knew this day would come, Wan was declared missing... well, not really. Since Korra told them, she'll leave him be and everyone listened to her surprisingly.

Today was Prince Wu's coronation, though Korra didn't like the prince soon to be King, it was better than a dictator taking over the government. Korra seemed almost depressed not having her partner by her side but none the matter. The coronation ran smoothly without any hiccups and Wu was declared the earth king.

After the coronation, people came up and congratulated Wu on becoming King. Someone caught her attention as the person walked up to Wu. It was Kuvira.

"What is she doing?" Korra asked, glaring at the woman. Asami was next to her and saw who it was.

"Maybe she wants to congratulate Wu on becoming King like everyone else and she is going to have to work for him if she is to help the Earth Kingdom."

Korra groaned, soon Kuvira went to Korra, "Avatar Korra."

"Kuvira."

"Still not fond of me, huh, Well, that's expected," Kurvia said with her hands behind her back, "I'm still doing my job and letting the Airbenders have their way with helping. I stepped down as of today. I haven't forgotten what you told me that day."

"You better or else," She glared at the women. Asami could feel her burning hatred that she was emanating, "Why don't we just end the conversation here and let everyone get back to their duties, mhmm. I'm sure you're busy, Kuvira."

"I am and I'll take my leave," She said and turned to her once again, "Until next time Avatar Korra." She left them be. Korra looked at her best friend and gave her a small smile.

"Thanks, Asami one more second and I would have said something worse."

"No problem, I could feel the hatred in the air anyway," She said with a smirk, "She really stepped out of line."

"You have no idea," Korra said with a groan. "Say when do you think Wan would come back?"

"Whenever he's ready.." Korra says, "His okay,"

"Toph I need your help, I don't know what the help is but, a spirit told me to find you. I've been so disconnected and shattered ever since that day. All the poison is out yet I feel heavy."

"What? I still feel small amounts of metal in your system. It's not out," Toph said with a stern look.

"What! I thought Suyin got it out, all of it!"

"My girls never had a firm handle on metalbending to begin with. When I say there's still left, there's still left." Wan stands up, "You have to get it out of me, please?" Wan begs.

"Why should I?" She asked him, "Why can't you get it out yourself?"

"I-" Wan remained silent, "I don't know how.." He mumbles.

"Didn't Su teach you metalbending?"

"Yes but I don't- Ugh- I just don't know if I can do it, I can't even hold my own in a fight.."

"And? It's pretty simple, you just take a stance and feel the metal inside then yank it out," She said doing the motion. Wan nods and tries it but when he did, he got flashbacks of Zaheer and he stopped. "I-I can't!" Wan clenched his head, "I can't"

Toph scoffed, "Guess you don't want it out."

"What!? No-'

"If you really wanted it out, you would have done it. You're scared of being hurt again because you were beaten down so many times. The first avatar has become complacent, go ahead, If you don't want to help yourself, then get out. Because the only person who can help you is you."

Wan walked out angrily, "Fine! I will." Toph continued her cooking as Wan walked in the swamp. Wan groans as he bends a rock, making it shoot out into the air. Wan continued to walk until the swamp transformed around him. He gasped as he saw a dead man in armor. "Attack!" The warlord screamed. Wan was right in the middle. He ran off trying to escape. The next turn he saw Amon, almost taking his bending.

His only grasp at who he is at the time.

Wan stepped back to fall on the snow, seeing Unalaq hurting Raava with his dark spirit bending. Wan cries, shaking, he runs to see Zaheer throwing Korra off the cliff and him being helpless. "NO!" Wan screamed. Then he saw himself in chains as the poison was administered. Zaheer turns, seeing Wan sobbing and trembling.

"You're weak, Wan," Zaheer said as his voice echoed inside his head. Wan couldn't move away or even run, his fear was keeping him in place. He closes his eyes tight, wanting it to go away.

"Please, stop," He cries out, but another voice said, "Why should they? It's TRUE what he said. You're weak and you were always weak!" His ghost said and kneeled beside him.

"Just give in to the fear and everything will be alright," Ghost Wan said, his eyes still pure white.

"You're still crying over there, First Twinkle Toes?" A voice asked and Ghost Wan disappeared, revealing Toph standing in front of him. He looked up seeing the old woman 'looking' down at him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, still trembling with fear.

"I heard someone scream like a little girl and came to check it out and I only see you," Toph points out. Wan laughs dryly and mocks as he gets up, "Very funny, gosh I love your jokes at the expense of my trauma."

"Laugh all you want it won't help in the long run," She said picking her ears, "Now what did you see?" She asked him.

"War, Bloodshed in my first life. All the people hurt me and everyone else in this life. The man who poisoned me and laughed about it. Raava and Korra were almost dying. Oh and the ghost who has been torturing me for the past few years." Wan answers, "Ah, you mean First Ghost who comes and goes, yeah, I've seen him around," Toph jokes, "What's stopping you from letting all that go?"

"I don't know," He said, "In my first life people were after me cause I could bend all Elements and wanted me to be used as a weapon. Of course I didn't let that happen, but they still found ways to hurt me," He looked down saddened remembering what had happened when he first got firebending from the lion turtle.

"I just keep getting hurt, and it keeps getting worse. I thought dying in war was bad but being poisoned…" Wan couldn't finish.

"That's a part of life," Toph said sternly, "It's not going to get better anytime soon."

Wan closed his eyes, "How do I even let go!?"

"By accepting that it happened and moving on. You can't keep moving by holding onto the past especially ten thousand years ago," She said getting up.

Wan remained silent. Though she was completely cranky and mean, she had a point. He needed to move on,"Giving me tough love, huh?"

"I give everyone tough love, Wan. Nobody likes being babied around sometimes."

Wan remained silent, "Any other advice, or that's it?

"Talk to your Ghost instead of fighting him all the time."

"He- He-"

"He is a reflection of what you think of yourself in the worst." Toph sighs, "How can I possibly talk to him when he's constantly bringing me down? He may be a reflection but what he says is the truth," Wan said looking down, "I'm just a shell of my former self."

"Well, talk back to him, don't start a fight. Don't yell at him. Just talk, it's easier than fighting," Toph gives her final advice and heads back to her cave.

Wan gets up and walks around to find his ghost. He finally shows up. "So you finally stopped being a little bitch, took you long enough. You don't have your girlfriend, or spirit friend, or anyone, just you and me."

"Yip, just us and I'm not going to fight you," He said to himself shaking a bit, "I wanna talk."

"Talk?" Ghost Wan laughs, "You think talking will solve this? You're a bigger fool than I thought you were, Wan!"

Wan breathed in, "Why do you do this? Do you get joy off of this? Why do you hate me?"

"Because you've grown weak and let that madman get the better of you! Like I said before you gave birth to me while he gave me my blood!" Ghost Wan shouted, "I'm the better you that you can never ever become!"

"Didn't Zaheer's blood hurt us? The poison.." Wan says, "You can't tell me the poison doesn't hurt you. It hurt me and you are a reflection of me. Everything I thought at that moment is you. How I felt angry and sad and a failure, a shadow of myself. How I wanted to surrender and let go and just die." Wan breaths in.

"So? Zaheer is still alive."

"Korra killed Zaheer."

"No, she medidn't. They lied to you, he's still alive, though he's completely fucked up, the little bastard still alive."

"What…" He said in shock, "That's not true. Why would Korra lie about that?"

"Because she wanted to protect her little Wanny. Zaheer is still in the spirit world, having a good old time."

"What are you getting at?"

"Get rid of the Spirit and the body will rot. Get rid of Zaheer or since you don't want to kill, confront him." Wan stayed silent. Did her really want to confront the man, now of all times. He wasn't ready or isn't ready yet.

"But, you are right, Wanny. I am a reflection of that day." He says, "As much as I hate you for letting that bastard get you. You're hating yourself, your a fucking asshole to yourself." Ghost Wan laughs, "All those things I said, that was all you Wan. You hate me, and thus hate yourself. All those little insecurities that I said, that was all you. You keep feeding me a good meal every day!"

"..."

"What are you going to cry? It's the truth, you are never kind to yourself, you just keep self-loathing! You always want to do it for others, but never for yourself! The reason why I am so hateful is that you're hateful. You want to kill Zaheer because of what he did! You never even said sorry to all the bullshit you put upon yourself! You can't love anyone before you love yourself!'

"Your right," Wan sobs, hugging himself, "I'm always right!"

"Im sorry...Me..I'm sorry for everything that happened."

"You should be,"Ghost Wan said in a normal voice," Cause it pains me when seeing you like this. Letting our past haunt us till here of all places," Ghost Wan was in front of Wan.

"And your right, I'm hurting...We are hurting so bad. We tried to act like it doesn't anymore but we all know Zaheer still hunts us."

"And he'll continue hurting us if we don't put a stop to it. To finish it, Not by killing but by confronting him, show him no fear. Give him no power."

"I'm not ready...I can't, not now."

"Well, look at that, learning the limitations of yourself. That's someone who is accepting himself." Ghost Wan started to be nicer.

"How do I get the poison out?" He asked his Ghost self, "By letting it play out," Ghost said.

"Will that work, it hurt the first time what if… what if the pain is more than I can handle?" Ghost Wan places a hand on his shoulder, "It will only hurt it you let it, like a stream of water let it flow out of you," He advises to himself.

Wan nods his head, "I'll try," He said getting up and making his way to Toph's cave but turns around seeing his ghost self smile at him. His white eyes are not so scary anymore. "Thanks for everything," The Ghost vanishes with a small smile on his lips.

Wan laid on his back in the cave. Still thinking of what his ghost said. He felt the urge to go out and take a walk. Wan walks around the swamp, practicing water bending, however, he forgot about the swamp.

Fear and Desire.

"Wan~" Korra's voice echoes in his ear. He turns around and sees her fully naked. Wan eyes widen, then another voice echoes in his ear, "Hello, Wan~" It was Raava in human form. She had gorgeous dark skin, white eyes, white hair with blue markings. She looked beautiful in Wan's eyes. She was also naked.

"Raava, Korra?!" He said with a shock and a blush on his face, "What are you doing here!?" Korra strokes his cheek, "What does it look like baby boy?" She seductively smirks. "We want to give you a night you will never forget." Raava whispers in his ears, her voice nice and alluring.

"No! I don't want this!" He shouted in denial, "You two would never dream of doing this," He said. The two women looked at each other. Korra's hands went under his poncho, "Why do you deny what you want? Come on Wan, me and Raava love you. We all love each other, let's just...Have some fun."

"I-I can't," He said, closing his eyes, Raava touched his chest, "Wan, listen, it's okay, let go."

"I can't," He whispers softly.

"Wan, your entire body is burning, baby" Raava said. "Just let me and Korra give you pleasure beyond anything." Raava kisses Wan's neck, and so did Korra.

"We love you, Wan," They said. He bites his lower lip, not knowing what to do. "Just let go, we've been through enough already, be kind to us, please. Let us feel good. Let us have what we desire." He heard his ghost whisper in his ear. Wan felt a kiss on his lips. It was Raava. Soon he felt Korra's lips.

"Come on Wan~ You have grown so big and heated. Oh, Mommy wants to see you moan and scream in pleasure. Mommy wants to see your eyes cloud in pleasure. Mommy Raava and I want to play with you baby boy"

"Let's play Wan, let's play." Raava adds, "We'll play nice with you~" Korra said.

"Let go." Ghost Wan says, "Please." His voice was soft and almost crying. Wan closed his eyes and he let go. "I wanna play~" Wan says like a child.

"Good boy," They said and began kissing him and rubbing his cock gently. Wan moans and kisses both of them, soon he is into it fully and begins to fully show how much he wants it. His kisses became more passionate. He takes off his clothes seductively and laid down and spread his legs while stroking himself. "Make love to me, please."

They did as he asked. Both girls bent forward and played with him. Raava stroked him while Korra fingered him gently. He moaned every so slightly, calling out their names. Soon it became intense, Wan was deep into the vision, he kissed Korra and Raava, falling deeper into pleasure.

Korra fucked him with a dildo while Wan headed on Raava's lap. She stroked his hair; she giggled at how much he moaned. "Oh, my sweet Wan, this is what you always wanted, my love, doesn't it feel good?" Raava strokes his hair, Wan nods.

Korra kisses Wan and Raava kisses Wan, both sharing kisses and affection, He comes, arching his back, "Raava, Korra~" Wan opens his eyes to the old swamp. Wan was a bit stunned by this. It felt too real. Wan begins to pleasure himself. He fingers himself with saliva, strokes his cock. He wanted more. Wan moans and screams their names, his eyes clouded with desire. He plays and edges.

He releases, he gasps and screams louder than he ever had. The man saw stars; it was the most powerful orgasm he had to date. Wan went deaf for a moment as he saw purple spots. Wan had a big smile on face. His entire face was red. His eyelids slightly open, "Raava, Korra~ fuck me soon."

Oh, did this glorious orgasm spread.

Raava moans in Korra's head, feeling Wan's pleasure.

"Raava?" Korra asked and suddenly felt Wan pleasure spreading around her body. She began hotter and hotter by the second. She couldn't control herself and moaned silently and moved her hand downwards.

"It's… Wan," Raava moaned, feeling Wan's immense pleasure. It was unlike any they've ever felt before. And they enjoyed it. Soon Raava orgasmed and Korra entered the Avatar State without warning, cumming in her panties.

Wan felt a sudden shock in his head. He turned around, seeing no one. He shrugged his shoulder and went on cumming a huge load over his chest and on the ground. He was breathing heavily and panting.

Korra's eyes went back to normal, panting. Raava was as well. "What-Was-That." Korra pants.

"Wan, he thought about us...both of us, touching and moaning and..." Raava pants, "His thoughts were filled with so many nasty dirty thoughts about a threesome." Raava pants, "He said, Korra and Raava, Fuck me soon."

"Woah, he really said that?" Korra asked blushing, "Yes, he did."

"What else did he see?" Korra asked curiously, "We were fully naked, and we touched him all over his body like a lustful gaze."

"He thought of.. this" Raava shows the vision. Korra's face turned bright red. "Oh my!'

"Indeed, actually, I would love to try it~"

"A double-ended dildo and him riding it with one of us?"

"Very much so."

"Never thought you would think of this, Raava," Korra said with a smirk. Raava just giggled, "He also came a lot and on his chest," She showed her a vision of Wan cumming all over himself and on the ground.

"Woah~"

Wan was laying in the trunk of a tree, his pants lowered with his cock hanging out. His clothes and the ground were covered in cum. He was taking deep breaths in and out. If this was an Illusion, then how would the real deal be?

His face turned red just thinking about it again.

He couldn't get their naked bodies out of his mind.

Wan begins to get heated again. He loved seeing their figures and ass, tittes, skin, eyes.

Wan eyes rolled back thinking about it and he fingers himself. Soon, he relaxed himself and sighs.

"Did you enjoy yourself, First Avatar?" A voice asked startling Wan. He turned his head and saw Toph standing beside him with a disgusted look on her face.

"T-Toph!?" He yelled out in shock, "W-when did you get here?" He asked nervously, pulling his pants back up and cleaning himself the best he could. Soon he puts on his poncho.

"I heard you scream so damn loud and I can say with full honesty that I've heard you mention two names," She said, Wan blushes, "It's complicated." He whispers, "Really complicated."

"I don't want to hear it, I've seen everything," She said sternly, moving her toes a bit. "Oh." Wan's face turned deep red, "Blame the swamp for that." Wan crosses his arms, "It showed me my fear and my desires, just like the spirit of truth said."

"You didn't have to scream and cum over the swamp, like that!"

Wan blushes even harder, "Sorry. I-I" Wan mumbles, he was completely mortified, he felt a hot shame.

"It's fine, just make sure it doesn't happen again, alright."

Wan nods, "I'm going to take a bath and clean up. Oh, And Toph, I'm ready to get the poison out. Turns out talking to my ghost helped me after all." Wan smiles,"Of course, the ghost is you and no one else. You've been talking to yourself…" Toph trailed off, "Good, just so you know I'll be watching how you do it and you better do it right."

"I will!"

The two headed back with Wan cleaning himself and Toph trying to wipe her mind clean from that mental image. Long story short, it didn't work. After a nice shirt bath and talking to himself again, Wan was at peace with himself. He got up and got dressed, drying his hair in the process but leaving his poncho on the ground. Toph was standing in the middle, waiting for Wan.

He took a stance and breathed in, them out. He wasn't afraid anymore. He can do it. Now that he knows that Zaheer is alive, he'll get past this and face him once he's done.

He bends the metallic liquid in his body. At first it hurt but Wan remained calm and bent the metal out. Slowly, the metal droplets were pulled out of his skin from his forearms. Wan had a flashback of Zaheer, but he was determined.

Give him no power.

The droplets were bent into a glob on each side of Wan. Wan does the motion, breathing in. Soon all the metal was out of his body and in one small blob. He passes it to Toph. She then bends it herself and places it in a shell and closes it completely.

It was out. It was finally out.

Toph smiles at Wan, "Well done, Wan."

He opened his eyes, and it was pure white. He entered the Avatar State after so long. His eyes returned to normal copper. Wan smiles, "Wow, I feel lighter. Thank you! Can I hug you? Don't worry, I'm clean 100%"

"Sure why not," Wan hugs the old woman, Toph pats his back, "Okay, so I gotta find my boat and get back to Republic City. I left it on the docks." Wan mummers to himself as he parts from her. "Once again, Thank you Toph. I know I was a pain in the ass." Wan bows, "And Sorry about that." Wan flushes,

"Don't mention it, like ever," She said with a smile on her face. "Sure thing." Wan says, after Wan packs up and says goodbye, heads back to the docks, and surprisingly his boat was still there.

Wan puts his stuff, resupplies and heads back. Wan knows Korra lied, but he understood why. She was probably going to tell him when he was ready. Wan wasn't mad at Korra for that.

Wan smiles to himself, seeing the sea. He was finally home after a long time.
