In the days that followed, Katara still had not woken-up. The doctor came to her everyday, applying lotion to her burns and checking her vital signs. She had a few broken ribs, some bruises here and there, but the worst damage were the burns on her arms and neck. When Sokka, Suki and Toph came back, they learned why Katara was out cold. Sokka almost killed Zuko for almost getting his little sister killed; although Zuko didn't mention that she really had died for a few minutes. Toph admired how Azula was taken down. Suki was too busy keeping Sokka from beating Zuko up to say anything.
Aang had defeated the old Fire Lord and restored the balance to the world. Zuko, the new Fire Lord had a lot of damage to the world to repair. He still hadn't chosen his Fire Lady. The only person he wanted he couldn't have. She would reject him because he was still Fire Nation.
After a week, Katara woke-up finally. Where am I, she thought. She was dazed and confused. She looked around but her vision was blurred. Her arms ached, her head throbbed, and her back was sore. Last weeks memories finally jogged, lightning, pain, blue fire, even more pain, and Zuko. Zuko saved her life. She looked down at her arms. Burn-marks snaked their way up her arms and her neck was really in pain, so she figured she must have been burned there too.
Someone was snoring next to her. When she looked over Sokka sat, slumped in the chair. Aang walked in for the next shift at watch when he saw Katara was up.
"Katara!" he yelled, running over to her.
"Aang, what's going on?" she asked. Sokka had woken up from Aang screaming, and saw Katara sitting up right, a confused expression on her face.
"Katara!" he yelled, hugging his little sister.
"Sokka, Aang, what is going on here?" she asked more franticly.
"Hang on Katara," Aang said, "I'll be right back!"
Aang ran out of the room calling out to anyone, "Katara's awake, Katara's Awake!"
Katara looked over at Sokka; her vision was no longer blurred. "What's going on?"
"You were burned by Azula and have been here for a while."
"Where's here?" she asked, suddenly more nervous.
"Um, well, you're in the Fire Nation palace." Katara just stared wide-eyed at him.
"So did Aang, kill the Fire Lord?"
"No, but he…"
"He what? What did he do Sokka?"
"He took away his bending."
"He….took away….his bending?"
"Yeah, I know, it is kinda weird."
"How long have I been here?" She asked, switching the subject. She didn't want to talk about the Fire Lord or Azula any more.
"Too long" She turned to the door and saw her father standing there.
"Dad!" She tried to move her arms to get off the bed, but winced in pain. She immediately regretted it, because her father was now at her side, pushing her down.
"You need to rest." He said firmly.
"I've been resting all week, I want to get up and move around."
"No, you're too weak to move around on your own." Katara knew he was right and pouted.
"Are you going to starve me, or do I get some food?" Her father laughed.
"Yeah, you can eat," he turned to Sokka, "Go get your sister something to eat." Sokka left to grab some food while Toph, Haru, and The Duke came in.
"Hey sweetness," Toph said, plopping down at the end of the bed, "How are you feeling?"
"Better, I guess. I would like to move around though." She said, scowling.
The duke climbed on the bed and into her lap, "I'm glad you're ok." He said, hugging her. She gave him a big squeeze back.
"I'm glad, too" she said.
"Me three," Haru chirped.
"I take a fourth to that" replied Toph.
"Same here" Aang appeared the doorway.
"Hey, Duke, let's get you something to eat." Toph said, "Twinkletoes, you did really good getting the Fire Lord."
"Thanks." He beamed.
"Same to you, sweetness, I heard how you took down the Princess."
"Um, thanks." Katara replied. Everyone left except for Aang. He lingered in the doorway.
"I'm really glad your ok." He said before crossing the room and pulling her into a big hug. He sighed into her hair. "I don't know what I would have done if I ever lost you." He said.
"I know Aang." They stayed like that until someone cleared their throat. Aang turned around and saw Zuko looming in the door way.
"Um, I just remembered," he said, "I have to go feed Appa." He darted out of the room, leaving Zuko and Katara alone.
