Ojos Así

Not sure if this was meant to be funny or dark. Maybe both. Let me know in a review =].

"Welcome back, Lord Boomerang," one of the guards teased as Sokka was thrust back into his cell.

The boy snarled and snapped back at the guard but the door was slammed in his face, knocking him back a few inches. Instead, he spit at the man, earning a shove through the bars. Sokka stuck his tongue out at him from the floor and the guard tensed his fist, grasping his keys.

"You want some of this, you little brat?"

A sudden hand on his shoulder stopped him, another guard.

"Don't let the kid rile ya up like that. It's embarrassing, he only wants to escape, you fool,"

The mocked guard narrowed his eyes at Sokka.

"I'll be back later, kid,"

"I'll be counting the minutes!" Sokka replied in an out of key falsetto.

The guard smacked his hand on the cell door once more in warning before departing.

"Where'd they take you?" Katara asked from the cell across from him almost instantly after the guard left.

"To Ozai," he spoke the name like a foul cuss.

"That's where Toph was taken," Katara gasped.

"Yeah?" Sokka asked. "What'd he want from you?"

Toph scoffed from the cell next to Katara's.

"Ozai offered me amnesty and a place of my own in Ba Sing Se if I told him where Aang was,"

"What'd you tell him?" Sokka had a smirk, knowing it would grow when he heard of his pugnacious friend's response.

Toph shrugged.

"Easy – I told him to stick it where the sun don't shine and sent a piece of his perfect marble floor at his big stupid head,"

Sokka broke out in hearty laughter while his sister only smiled – having heard the story while Sokka was gone.

"What happened with you?" Katara asked him.

"He offered me a place on his official war board if I spilled the beans,"

"What'd you tell him?" Toph couldn't hide the amusement in her voice as she listened.

"Nothing. I just laughed in his face and told him to drink some more cactus juice,"

This time, all three cells broke out into uproarious laughter.

"Shut the hell up back there!"

All three fell silent for about a heartbeat before the giggles erupted like an incurable disease again. Suddenly, the guard Sokka tormented approached Katara's cell and opened the door.

"C'mon," he said, holding out handcuffs.

Katara didn't want to start trouble – she remembered Toph's response just a mere hour ago. She sent a barrage of stones from the walls into the two guards trying to apprehend her. That was why her cuffs remained on even in the cell. So Katara got up slowly and held her hands out in front of her the entire time she advanced toward the man.

"Atta girl," he had a dirty smile on his face as he tightened the manacles around her wrists.

"Watch it, buddy!" Sokka barked. "That's my sister!"

The guard only smirked wider as he passed Sokka's cell. Sokka thrust his arms through the bars to grab him, but other guards appeared and beat them until he withdrew.

"Just wait!" Sokka threatened. "Soon you'll regret the day you ever messed with –,"

"Lord Boomerang!"
