I do not own ATLA
"Katara what's wrong?" Aang said. Running over then he saw Ryu, his eyes locked on Ryu's tattoo. "Hi" Ryu said. Not sure of what else to say. "Can I come in?" He asked "It's kind of chilly out here." "Sure." Katara said. Stepping aside and letting Ryu in, Ryu walked in. "You're an Airbender." Aang said. Yep. Ryu replied forming a small ball of air a few inches above his hand. Ryu saw Aang's face light up at the sight. "So who are you?" Aang asked. "I'm Ryu." Ryu said. He noticed Aang eyeing his weapons. "I'll explain everything later." Ryu said. "Right now I just need to rest for a bit." "Are you ok?" Aang asked. "I'm fine. I've just been traveling for awhile." Ryu said. Falling down more than sitting down, his chest hurt, a lot. It hurt every time he took a breath. "What's wrong with him?" Aang asked. Katara lifted up Ryu's shirt and saw a large bruise on his chest. His skin was broken in several places and bleeding, he had obviously been in a fight recently. Katara bended the water out of her pouch and started to try and heal Ryu, but Ryu pushed her away. He didn't trust her. "You need help." Katara said "you have two cracked Ribs." "Alright" Ryu said. And passed out while she was working on him, as she worked Katara noticed how much Ryu looked like Aang, he was about a year older than Aang and inch or two taller, had blackish hair that covered most of the tattoo on his forehead. He had the same grey eyes too but something was missing in them. This was an Air Nomad whose life had been torn apart by conflict Katara suspected there was more to it than just that. They moved Ryu into a spare room and let him rest. "Stay with him." Katara said to Aang. "It might be best if he wakes up seeing another Airbender."
The next morning, when Ryu woke up he had completely forgotten where he was, He panicked until he saw Aang sitting in a chair sleeping. Ryu got up noticing the bandages wrapped around his chest. He slipped his shirt on and grabbed his swords and staffs while leaving the room. He joined the others for breakfast, yawning as he sat down, grabbing an apple "How do you feel?" Katara asked. "Better" Ryu said. "Thanks for healing me." A moment later Aang joined them. "What Air Temple are you from?" "I was born at the Southern Temple, but raised at the Northern Temple." Ryu said. "Why?" Aang asked "Honestly, I don't know" Ryu replied. "I never bothered to ask." "How'd you get your tattoos?" Ryu formed two Air daggers, and threw them at the wall they hit the wall with a thud then disappeared. Ryu then stood up and formed his Airboard and jumped on and rode it around the apartment, before returning to the table. "That's just like my AirScooter!" Aang said, laughing. "Maybe we'll have a race." Ryu said smiling for the first time in a long time. Afterward they went out into Ba Sing Se Ryu wanted to buy some new cloths, his were a bit travel worn, and they were a hundred years old, a proper pair of staffs would be nice too. "Why do you carry swords?" Aang asked, as they looked around a weapon shop, "They were a gift." Ryu said after a moment. "I mostly use them to direct air currents." Ryu said. Knowing it was a lie, he was more than capable of killing someone with the swords. Ryu looked at a pair of Kunai Daggers he picked one up and spun it in his hand it was perfectly balanced for throwing. He glanced at the price then put it back it was too expensive. He and Aang left the shop and continued searching, until an earth Kingdom soldier ran up to them. "Avatar we need your help". He said out of breath. "What is it?" Aang asked. "There's a giant drill!" heading for the outer wall!" "That doesn't sound good." Ryu said. Aang pulled a whistle out of his pocket and blew it Ryu didn't hear anything but a moment later a Sky Bison appeared and landed in front of them. Aang and the other got on board but Ryu hesitated. "What's wrong?" Aang asked. "Nothing, I've just never ridden on a Sky Bison before." Ryu said. "Don't you have one?" Aang asked. "No." Ryu said Air jumping onto Appa's saddle. Thankfully Aang didn't pursue the subject. When they reached the outer wall the drill was nearly at the wall. "How do we stop that thing?" Aang asked. "While you figure that out I'm going after that control tower." Ryu said snatching Aang's glider from him, opening it and taking off.
