RECAP:

Her fingers brushed against the scar on Zuko's face and to Cobra's surprise instead of feeling rough and brittle, the scar was as soft as the rest of his face the only difference was that the skin around the scar was raised up a little bit from the rest of Zuko's face.

"What do you think you're doing falling for a boy?!" The voice burst out angrily at Cobra, causing her to jerk her fingers away from Zuko's face and scar. "Go away!" Cobra thought to the voice before forcefully shoving it into a corner of her mind.

"Hey your awake. Are you okay?" Zuko said as he woke up, concern evident in his voice. "Yeah I'm fine. Sorry I was just a little too tired." Cobra said feeling horrible about lying to Zuko, but she knew that he would freak out if he knew the truth.

"I better get ready to leave." Cobra said pulling herself up into a sitting position the large Fire Nation blanket that had been covering her slid off and settled around her waist. The sudden cold air that brushed up against her arms and face made her look down and she was surprised to see that the outer shirt that she had been wearing had been taking off leaving her in her tank-top and showing off several of her old scars as well as her 'June' tattoo and the one she had gotten years ago, one that went with the voice that had just recently began to plague her again. And she could tell that her mask was gone.

Cobra looked over at Zuko questioningly, "What happened and who took off my outer shirt and where is my mask?" Cobra asked, calmly with a slight warning in her voice. "Uncle Iroh did, he thought that you might have been wounded and you weren't letting anyone but me and Uncle Iroh near you while you were unconscious. I took off your mask, I wanted to make sure you were still breathing. I put it on before I let uncle in. You've been out for four days Cobra." Zuko said his voice rising slightly showing just how worried he had been for Cobra.

Cobra sighed her anger evaporating. She hadn't thought of how worried Zuko and Iroh would be. "Zuko… I." Cobra bit her lip, trying to find a way to reassure Zuko that she was fine now. Zuko sat up and pulled her into a fierce hug, "Please don't leave right now. I … I just need you for now. You can look for my mom later. Please, I just need you by my side right now." Zuko said trying emotion's running high through him.

Cobra hugged him back briefly and then pulled back tilting her head curiously as she pulled on her face mask. "Why do you need me so bad right now?" She asked. Zuko pulled back and laced his fingers together, "I found the Avatar, and if I capture him then my fath…Fire Lord Ozi will let me go home and regain my honor and title." Zuko said. "And you need me why?" Cobra asked curiously. "I need you because I know that if your by my side then I will be able to capture the Avatar and take him home." Zuko said his eye's pleading Cobra to agree.

Cobra didn't say anything for a minute then she spoke, "Zuko, who said that you didn't have honor and since when were you banished from the Fire Nation? Is that where the scar came from? Did your sister do that?" Cobra said, getting angrier with each question she asked.

At that precise moment Iroh burst into the room. "Oh miss Cobra you are awake. And on such a beautiful and magical night, you must come up on deck and join us. Prince Zuko you are needed to play the trombone." Iroh said jollity filling his voice a smile on his face. He was completely oblivious on how tense the two other's in the room were.

Cobra bit back a growl, the look in Zuko's eye's answered her last question, it hadn't been Azula it had been Ozi himself and the fact that Zuko wanted to go back to him. Cobra knew that she had to do something before she said something that she would regret. "Sure Iroh I'll come up to deck with you." Cobra said giving Zuko a glare before she grabbed her outer shirt and weapons then she stormed out of the room.

Cobra was fuming as she stomped her way through the ships belly and up to the deck.
