Jay POV

After a bit of snooping around I finally found out where the great one was staying. I made my way across the bridge in the highest level. This place is reserved for those who have enough money that they never have to work. I'm glad that it's a bit too early for people to be walking around or else I would've had to hurt some people, and I'm still a bit weak since Azula burned me. Not that it would've hindered me in the fight. I finally come across Master Aang's home. I walk up to the screen door, but before I even had a chance to knock a small blind girl opens it.

"Um. Hello. Is the avatar here?"

"Who wants to know?" The girls talks snidely and spits into a bucket.

"Could you tell him -"

"Toph who's at the door so early?" Katara speaks groggily as she opens the door a bit wider.

"Just some girl asking for Twinkle Toes."

"Who?" Once she looks at me her eyes grow wider than a winged lemur. "Jay?"

"Hello Miss Katara." The blind girl shrugs and leaves Katara and I alone.

"How are you alive?"

"Iroh saved me. I've been living with him and Zuko here for a while now."

"Wait! Are they here?! Is Zuko with you?!"

"Calm down Miss Katara. I didn't even tell them I was coming here or that the avatar was even in Ba Sing Se. I don't think i'll be seeing them for a while." My voice grew somber and I looked down at my bandaged legs.

"Why don't you come inside. I'll make you some tea." She takes my hand and sits me down at a table.

"This is a nice place."

"Yeah the King is letting us stay here until we're done with our business." She places a cup of tea in front of me.

"Katara can I ask you something a bit personal?"

"Um... alright..."

"Have you ever fallen in love with someone only to find out they're no good?"

"Actually Jay, yes I have. He wasn't a good guy at all, but it wasn't all his fault."

"What do you mean?" She shakes her head at me.

"Best not to dwell on the past right?"

I nod not feeling entirely satisfied but slightly comforted that I'm not alone on this. I got the feeling that Katara had been hurt badly by the man she was describing more than what she said. The day soon came, and Aang and Sokka finally woke up.

"Hi Miss Jay"

"Hello Master Aang. It's nice to see you again."

"Jay you really don't have to call me that. Just Aang." I blush a bit at his statement, embarrassed that he would allow me to speak to freely with him.

"O-ok"

I felt a woman walking up the steps and warned everyone. Aang had an argument with her about the flyers. The blind girl then broke the wall, and I realized she was an Earth bender like me.

"She... She can earthbend? But how?"

"Oh I forgot Jay that you never been introduced to Toph."

"Toph... well it's very nice to meet you."

"eh you too... and to answer your question, I can feel the vibrations in the earth and use it to see. I was taught by badgermoles when I was little."

"Ah I see. So you can earthbend just as I can."

"Wait a minute. So you can feel the vibrations too? How were you taught?"

"Well I didn't have that good of a story as you, but when I was little girl my parents were murdered in front of me by the hands of the firelord. " Everyone gasped when i said this. "I then spent most of my years underground, and I guess I just got used to it since I couldn't see there. I mean I knew how to tell what was around me spatially before that, but being underground allowed me to see people and buildings for miles."

"Wow..."

"Wait so are you that earthbender that helped us when we were fighting Azula in that deserted village?"

"You don't recognize me?"

"Sorry everything from that day is a bit fuzzy still. My wounds haven't even fully healed."

"But it's been a few months. It should be better by now. Maybe I should look at it." Katara started toward me with some water.

"No please I'll be ok. Really. We should probably start looking for Appa anyway."

"I guess you're right."

We all ventured out and hung up more posters. We split up and I decided to go with Katara. I soon felt someone following us and I grabbed Katara's hand.

"This way hurry."

We ran a few curves and turns, but I couldn't get them off our tail. I huff out of frustration and start to feel the pressure in my chest build up. I decided if i didn't think of something soon they were going to get us, so I ran us into a dead end.

"Well what do we do now Jay?" Katara yelled at me.

"Shush.. lemme feel them."

The person chasing us slowed their movements and I felt their presence behind me. I earthbend them off the roof and he stands in between Katara and I.

"Jet..."
