Item: Platinum

Pairing: Kyalin

Prompt by: TheGreatUniter

Platinum is believed to be the purest metal in the world, but to Lin Beifong, nothing is pure. Nothing is ever one hundred percent. Ninety-nine point nine, maybe, but never one hundred. So on a clear day in Republic City, a continuous thunking could be heard throughout the quite street, home to the Chief of police and her girlfriend.

"Lin, it's not going to move. You have spent three hours, for the past year trying. I think your hands and feet have had enough of being smashed into metal that won't move." The waterbender rested her elbow on her knee, with her head lying lazily in her hand. "I know I'm sick of healing them. Your feet aren't exactly the most sterile."

Lin Beifong ignored her girlfriend as she waked her head into the metal out of frustration, which was stupid as it sent her falling backwards onto the ground. She opened her eyes to see Kya staring down at her, unimpressed. "Don't give me that look."

"I don't know what you mean."

"Bullshit. Why can't I do it Kya? All I need to do, is find the little impurity and bend it."

Kya let out a sigh as she allowed herself to fall onto the ground next to the metalbender. "You metalbenders are all the same. You look for the easy way out." Taking offence at the notion that earthbenders were lazy, Lin attempted to sit up to defend herself, when Kya put her hands on her shoulders and forced her back onto the ground. "Not so fast Chief. Tell me, what, essentially, is metal?"

Thinking for a moment, Lin cocked a hopeful eyebrow as she said her reply. "Earth?"

"That's right. You don't think the earth just came together and all these different elements were already there do you? Metal is earth that has spent time maturing. You just have to think of it as earth. Now get that sexy ass up there and bend that metal."

With a determined look on her face, the metalbending Chief of Police took up her horse stance and thrust her hand into the metal, causing the earth around her to crumple, yet the sheet of platinum remained upright, imbedded in the ground. She turned to her girlfriend to see her rolling on the ground laughing. "And what's so funny?"

"I can't believe you believed me. I don't know how metal formed over the years. Spirits, I don't even know how the earth was made."

"I hate you."

"Wait, I think I can help. Why don't you use the earth around you to bend the platinum? You need plasma cutters, to cut the metal, but they have to be able to bend it some how. If it works you and your officers could use it in the field."

"That, could actually work." Lin summoned small pieces of earth and put them into strategic locations against the sheet of platinum. Taking a deep breath, she pulled her arms towards her chest, causing the platinum to bend towards her. "Crap. It, it worked."

Kya smiled at her girlfriend's achievement. As she stood up to inspect the metal closer, she slapped Lin on the backside, causing the woman to yelp. "Looks like you can bend the unbendable. Want to give me a try?"

Lin couldn't reply at first, as Kya walked back into their home. "Damn straight I want to give you a try."
