We Make a Good Team

by lorracorra

Ozai was supposed to be defeated, Aang was supposed to fulfill his duty as Avatar, peace was supposed to be restored to the world...so how come nothing has turned out the way it was supposed to be and is Ozai the real villian here or is it somewhere else?

2. Chapter 2

A/N: I don't own ATLA or anything. That belongs to Bryke. Katara's POV

Chapter 2: Little Boy Blue

I stare open-mouthed at the Blue Spirit. No, it can't be him I reason. But my heart doesn't pound for nothing. "Zuko" I breathe, still not convinced. He steps closer "You're mistaken. Help me get to Ozai and I won't slice you to shreds" I frown "Why would you?" he steps forward again, until he has me cornered adjacent to the stairs leading into the courtyard. "Because how do I know you won't tattle?" Immature. "Of course I won't. I'm not a child" he lingers in front of me, then starts to semi-circle me. "Right. I know you won't…little girl" my blood freezes. Up until now, I've used my own voice. I've had no need to disguise it since this is the first time I've spoken since…never mind. He pulls me back out of my reverie "Now that I know your secret--" "And I know yours!" I spit. He ignores me "I have a proposition; Get me to Ozai, or I will turn you in"

As we both slink down the palace halls, me in my uniform and the Blue Spirit in his, I can't help but to compare the experience to that of when Zuko and I tracked down my mama's killer. This mission has higher stakes.

"Stop" I warn when we are near the Firelord's chambers. He halts, and we direct our attention to a couple of soldiers guarding his door. "Let me handle this" he says cockily. I shake my head "There could be more lurking around." he shrugged his shoulders "No, there aren't. Trust me, I've known Ozai longer than just today" he adds. I cock my head, wondering why he addresses his father by his first name. Must have something to do with that scar, I guess.

The Blue Spirit takes the pair down easily and quietly, slitting their throats. I don't watch, but the sounds make up for the absent image. "Come on" he beckons after, like he said, no more appear. Cautiously, we enter the room to find…a large bed with ruffled maroon sheets and a big, empty red and gold room.

Awww, no action for the dynamic duo. How could Katara and Zuzu get caught up in all this? Next chappyter ahead, and please review!
