Chapter 4

5 years later

Shu Hai is excited. After spending her whole likf in Zao Fu, she finally was going to explore a different part of the world. She was going to Republic City. She packed up a lot of her things into her suitcase and laid on her bed ready to fall asleep. In another room in the estate the family, minus Bolo and Toph II, were not very excited about her trip, they were worried. "We can't let her go." Wei said.

"Too late for that, she leaves tomorrow." Wing said.

"Besides, she wants to go really badly." Bolin stated. "She has been talking about it for weeks."

"Bolin's right, and she is a really smart girl she'll figure it out eventually." Opal stated.

"She's right, I have been meaning to talk to her about her mother but I could never go through with it." Baatar Jr explained.

After much silence Suyin finally speaks. "Before she goes we must tell her about her mother."

"I don't think this is going to end well." Huan said as Jr. and Suyin climbed up the stairs.

As Suyin and her son reached Shu Hai's room, they both looked at each other, giving themselves a confirming nod. They then proceeded to knock on her door. "Hold on one second." Shu yelled through the door.

After about half a minute the door finally opens to reveal Shu Hai. No longer a little girl, but a fourteen year old, who was excited to explore the world. Currently she was whearing workout pants (A form of sweet pants), and a top that left her stomach exposed. "Hey dad, hey grandma what's going on?"

Jr and Suyin both looked at each other, then nodding Jr then started to speak, "Dear we have to talk."

Shu looked at them and knew something was up. Those two coming to her room was not something that brought good news. Not knowing what it could be she just decided to continue with the conversation. "What do we have to talk about?"

"It's about your mother." Suyin answered.

This got her interest, she didn't know much about her mom. The only thing that she knew about her mom was what the family had told her, which wasn't much. She had always wanted a mother. She always watched other children interact with their moms. She wished she had that, and whenever she brought up the subject of her mother, her family would change the subject, or pretend that they were busy. This was the opportunity to finally learn who her mother was.

"We decided to finally tell you about because when you leave you'll probably find out." Her father said.

"What is the big secreat?" She finally asked wanting to get this over with.

"Your mother is the 'Great Uniter' Kuvira." Suyin told her grandmother.

Shu went wide eyed, she knew her family had a history with Kuvira, but this was a shock to her system. She had always thought that her mom had died during child birth or in some point earlier in her life that she wouldn't remember anyways, but hearing that her mom is still alive and she just happens to be a former dictator that attempted to conquer the United Republic and is now in prison for it. This news made her feel like her heart was being squeezed by a metal bender that covered her heart in metal. "You mean the woman you have been cursing down my entire life?"

Suyin and Baatar could see the sadness and anger within her eyes. "Listen Shu…" Baatar began.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shu asked on the verge of tears.

"Because we were afraid that…" Baatar started.

"… I would be like her." Shu interrupted.

Baatar put his head down. Suyin, who was also on the verge of tears. "We had the best intentions when we decided not to tell you."

Shu started laughing bitterly, "That's funny because the 'Great Uniter' Kuvira also had the best intentions when she created he Empire."

Shu then slammed the door on her father and grandmother. She leaned on her door and started crying while she slide down. On the other side of the door Baatar and Suyin both looked at the door for a few moments before turning to leave. When they reached the living room, the family looked at them, both knowing that they heard what was said.

"So that went well." Bolin stated.

Resulting in a piece of metal flying at his mouth, covering it.

Somewhere in Republic City, four people were sitting in a booth in a shady bar. "We finally have our opportunity to get back at Kuvira for what she has done to us."

"Our window of opportunity is a week-long."

"Plenty of time for us to complete our task."

"Our revenge is near, we shall get our revenge against Kuvira through her daughter."
