"Bumi! Put that out!"

"Why?" He lit another match.

"Stop it you idiot!"

"I can't see a damn thing!" Another match.

"Stop!"

The avatar's oldest son dropped the third match and closed his eyes. The two youngest of the group were terribly annoying.

Tenzin's voice is what came out of the dark first. "Do you not know where we are? We are in a wooden cell. I don't think lighting it on fire would do us any good."

"Burning the bars wouldn't do us any good?" Bumi questioned his brother's logic.

He didn't expect a hand to slap his head. "Of course not you moron. The smoke is going to collect in here and the only other way out is through that platinum door."

"The walls. Aren't they metal or earth?"

"I already checked. We are surrounded by sewage pipes which are currently carrying nothing but water, trash, shit, amd piss."

The airbender in the room rolled his eyes. "Language?"

"Don't make me mad when we are stuck in a confined space." When put into a situation, the similarities between Lin and Su were scary. They really seemed like sisters at the moment.

"Ten," Bumi tried to reach over and grab his shoulder, but the darkness effected his sense of direction. "Can't you just air slice the wood?"

"And then where would we go? We would still need to get out through that door." Suyin pointed even though no one could see the gesture. Irked was not enough to explain her current mood.

Bumi's mind ran through any other solutions. Growing up, he had heard stories of his uncle being the one with the plan. Several of his ideas had saved Team Avatar in the past, so Bumi tried to channel his uncle as best he could. They were related after all. However, the only thing that popped into his head frightened him.

"Wait, why are you guys covered in red?" The future recruit's voice cracked. "Is that...?"

There were two large sighs in the air. The thirteen year old spoke first.

"We didn't go on a killing spree if that's what you're thinking and no, we aren't injured either. We fell into a crate of berries."

The oldest out of all of them calmed his heart at the news. He wondered how he hadn't asked that the first time. "Thank the spirits." There was a slight pause. "Wait, you guys ended up in a crate full of berries?"

Tenzin crossed his arms. "We fell off of Oogi. There was someone shooting at us. Before we knew it, Oogi was flipping backwards. Whatever it was coming at us, had frightened him. Luckily, we were near the shipping docks and so happened to land in an open crate of berries."

"Who was shooting at you guys?" Bumi asked.

"We don't know. But it wasn't boulders coming at us. They were tiny and fast." Suyin answered.

"I don't get it."

Su and Tenzin replied in sync. "Neither do we."

Bumi shifted slightly. He let Lin's head rest on his lap, not knowing what damage had been done from their previous fall. "So how did you two end up here?"

Again, the two answered together. "Drugged and captured."

"Then we woke up in here." Tenzin informed his brother.

The youngest Bei Fong added her own response. "Ta da!" She wiped a loose strand of hair away from her face. "Now its your turn for story time."

The answer was a low groan that came into the air. Bumi quickly pulled out another match, arguing with his little brother about using it, and then lighting it right above their heads. The three leaned over and watched Lin's face contort.

Tired eyes opened and the scowl that hit her face had brought relief to the others. "Crap, I'm not awake yet. I'm still having that nightmare."

Tenzin grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. "Thank the spirits you're alright."

Lin groaned once more, not appreciating the concern at the moment. Bumi yelled at his brother. "She's concussed, idiot."

"How ya doing, big sis?"

The older Bei Fong's eyes widened. "Su? What the hell are you doing here? And Tenzin? Holy shit, are you guys bleeding?"

At that moment, the match burnt out and they were blanketed by darkness once again. Bumi was getting tired of all this.

"It's berry guts. We were shot down and captured." Suyin answered her older sister. "How about you guys? How did you guys join the party?"

Lin realized she was still leaning against Tenzin and slowly moved away. The darkness concealed the airbender's frown. She cleared her throat and rubbed her head. "We fell down a hole. And then captured, obviously."

"Who do you think wants us?" Tenzin asked quizically.

"I don't know, but they are gonna get it when they come back." Su sneered.

Lin couldn't help the smirk that came to her face. "Wow, Su. You know people might actually think we're sisters now."

"Shut up."

"Make me."

"So why aren't we out yet?" The way Lin had said it sounded like disappointment.

In the dark, Suyin rolled her eyes. "Prison made of wood, sewer pipes filled with crap surrounding us, and a platinum door."

"But how are we getting breathable air?" Even though they couldn't see a thing, Lin, Su, and Tenzin turned in the general direction of Bumi's voice. The future recruit had a hand at his chin, rubbing against the coarse hair. His mind was working, gears turning. "We're underground if we are surrounded by sewage pipes. Mom, Dad, Uncle Sokka, and Aunt Toph will hopefully start looking down here as I'm almost certain someone saw us fall into the ground. Especially near the police station. But the question still stands. How are we getting clean air?"

The other three had no clue.

"No one? I can only assume you are shaking your heads." A slap in the head made him to drop the attitude. "There must be air vents."

Suyin and Lin made their way to the bars of their cell. Each Bei Fong put a hand to the wall outside and felt the large amounts of metal that were the sewage pipes. Focusing closely, the two felt a boxed vent in the upper right hand corner of the room.

"Well, well, well. Bumi, you aren't so stupid after all."

Tenzin walked over to them. "Did you find it?"

Lin removed her hand from the wall and leaned against the bars. "There is one in the top right corner of the room. I'm assuming Su got confused since it felt like all the other snaking metal around. It's just big enough for us to crawl through. Hope no one is claustrophobic."

"I wasn't confused. I was still in shock."

The older Bei Fong just snorted.

"Woah, woah, woah. Before we start with that, we have to stay here."

"Why?!" The younger three exclaimed.

Bumi sighed with irritation. "Alright, we get out and then what? How are we going to report who took us? Let's just wait it out and see. Whoever these people are, they are going to show themselves eventually. They always do."

"And if things get worse? Like we get tortured? People know who we are. People know who our parents are." Lin informed him.

"That's just it." Bumi moved closer to them near the bars. "We're a big cash prize. Especially with Tenzin. They aren't going to kill us."

The twenty year old did have a point.

"Fine." The three answered.

There was a silence between the group members. It was indication that everything was agreed on. Tenzin fiddled with his fingers, Su continued to feel the wall, Bumi was thinking carefully, and Lin was rubbing the side of her head. The weight of the situation had made her forget about the headache that continued to assault her skull. She wasn't going to admit the nausea she was feeling seeing that they had enough things to worry about.

The older Bei Fong brought her hand back and gagged at the wet substance coating parts of her hand. "I don't think that's berries."

Tenzin was at her first, feeling her hands for whatever she was describing. He felt warm stickiness. "You're bleeding."

"We need to wrap her head with something." Bumi began patting his clothes for some type of cloth.

The airbender in the room had already ripped part of his robes off. "Come here."

Lin cursed under her breath when she squeaked at Tenzin's hand grabbing hers. She really hated whatever was going on between them. She had to keep reminding herself that she was still mad at him. Cloth came to her head and she waited as Tenzin gently tended to her wound. Another rip sounded in the air and within seconds later, cloth was cleaning her hand from the blood.

His voice was deep and low when he spoke. "I'm sorry."

She tried to make her unamused grunt convincing. "Whatever."

"I didn't mean what I said. I probably deserved the boulder you chucked at me."

"Well some other girl may have stopped there, seeing that you think of me as just another girl. You probably deserved more."

Tenzin flinched at the attack of words. She was surprised to hear him chuckle. "I'm glad you aren't angry enough to not insult me. Then I'd be really concerned."

Lin grabbed the cloth from his hands and began cleaning up herself. "Don't doubt me. You are just really asking for it. This whole week has just been getting on my nerves."

"Did you see him?"

"Who?"

"Your're dad?"

She tried glaring in his general direction. "That's no concern of yours."

"Well, Suyin and I followed you for a reason."

"What?" The venom in her voice was evident. "You two followed us?"

"I was-"

The older Bei Fong growled loud enough for the other two in the front of their cell to begin listening to the conversation. "This is your fault! You and Su aren't supposed to be here at all."

"Well, I'm sorry if coming to make sure you were okay was such a crime."

"Now our parents are going to be beyond panicked! You two should have stayed put and let me deal with my problems."

"Hey!" Suyin joined in the argument. "This may concern your dad, but that doesn't mean what you're doing is a bright idea."

Lin yelled back. "You were asking questions about this guy the other night! You were just as curious as me, Su, and I wouldn't be surprised that if the tables were turned, you would have done the same thing."

"This guy probably doesn't even know you're alive, Lin. There is a reason he isn't in your life anymore."

The older of the sister's scowled hard. "The way things are looking, it seems to be all Mom's fault."

"Woah, you haven't even heard the story yet, Lin. You've only seen the dude." Bumi interjected.

"Yeah!" Her voice targeted him. "That's because of you. If we would have continued following them, we wouldn't have been in this mess."

The future recruit was feeling the anger build inside him. "Yes, because having Su and Tenzin stuck down here by themselves would have been any better."

"They weren't supposed to be following us in the first place!"

"Well they were and I am sure glad as hell that we went and got captured too. Don't tell me that you aren't glad you are down here with Suyin and Tenzin. If we hadn't gotten captured, you'd be flipping your shit!" Bumi countered.

Lin growled, but no comeback came from her.

Tenzin just had to butt in at the end. "I think we are just stressed out with this entire day. So-"

"SHUT UP!"

Their out cry had coincidentally triggered the door to turn and open bringing large screeching into the room. The four had to shield their eyes, the light coming in too sudden. Once they regained their vision, there were two men carrying lanterns with them which casted the light on the woman in the middle. She looked to be around her mid thirties. Her hair was dark brown while she wore very red lipstick. Her dark piercing green eyes were nothing like Lin or Suyin's. They looked more sinister. The creepy smile didn't help either.

"Hello, everybody. Enjoying our stay in casa wooden box?"

"Who the hell are you and what do you want with us?" Lin shouted as she shot forward.

The woman faked a concerned expression. "Well isn't that just a pity. You're injured."

"Thanks to you."

"The pleasure, dear, was all mine."

Bumi stepped forward and clenched the bars. "Answer the question."

"Aaaah." The womam approached him. "You must be the avatar's first son. You certainly got the looks for daddy."

"Think so? People do say I remind them more of him than Baldy over there. Would you like to find out if the rest of me compares as well?"

Lin yelled over to him. "Really? Right now? And with her?"

"Mhm. I like you." The woman moved back to Lin who now had Tenzin standing very close to her. "I'd say the same for you. You have quite the fiery attitude that is very attractive. But it seems we don't play on similar teams." She eyed Tenzin. "Boyfriend doesn't really approve either."

"Leave her alone."

Yun observed the young monk for a minutes. Her eyes studied the tattoos, robes, and gray eyes. The extra attention only made Lin want to rip the woman's head off even more. "You are almost the spitting image of your father. But like Aang Jr. said over there, you seem too serious. You seem more like a hundred years old rather than your daddy."

"Who are you." The airbender asked fiercely. "And what do you want."

"The names Yun. Don't really dig last names. And I already got what I wanted."

"And that would be?" Lin said irritated.

"Bait."

Suyin slammed against the bars, tired of this woman's calmness and evil intent. "What do you want with our parents?"

Yun walked over and bent at the waist to get face to face with the thirteen year old. "The youngest one. Pretty smart too. Figured out that I didn't really want you guys but your good for nothing parents in only five minutes. At least Toph didn't give birth to a dumbass. You seem like a very fun gal."

Lin pulled her sister away by instinct. "Don't even try anything. I'll smack that damn grin right off your face and onto the ground."

"I can see why you boys like hanging around the Bei Fong girls. They are a riot. Makes me almost want to come in there and join the fun."

"Please do. I'm sure we'll find something very interesting to do with you." Bumi wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yes. I really do like you." Yun winked at the future recruit. Bumi smiled. "But as tempting as that sounds, I know you are just trying to get on my good side so that you can pull one over me. But please, continue the flirting. It's very flattering."

Bumi frowned. "I don't think we're going to work out, babe."

Yun moved her eyes back to the two Bei Fongs who both looked about ready to tear the cage apart. She chuckled. "Now then. I came here to do a quick little chore."

"And that would be?"

The woman didn't answer. Instead she unbuckled a holster on her belt and pulled out an L-shaped weapon. There was a click and Yun eyed Suyin directly.

Bumi tried to get a closer look at the weapon. "What in the world is that thing?"

"Invented it myself. I call it a gun."

"And what, shall I ask does it do?"

Yun pointed it at Su who was scowling very hard at the weapon. In a split second, the gun was pointed down at Suyin's legs.

BANG

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Su fell on the floor clutching her left thigh. She hissed and struggled getting in air as her body was going into shock. The sobbing started soon after. The pain was way different than anything she had experienced. Her bending told her that whatever was stuck in her leg was a piece of metal, fairly deep into her flesh as well. With the last of her strength, she tried bending the metal out of her body, but Su just screamed at the siring pain than radiated throughout the area near the wound. The thirteen year old just cried. Cried so much.

"Su!" Lin got to the floor and held her sister. Tenzin and Bumi scrambled over to help as well.

Yun put away the weapon and motioned for her men to leave the lanterns. They apparently deserved a little bit of light. The group made its way to the door. They walked and she talked out into the air.

"Those girls were going to give me the most trouble. With both of them injured, I have nothing else to worry about."

Her laughter echoed once more.

"Get ready Team Avatar. You got something new coming your way."


Guns in the avatar world, what? Yun what a sly fox. But she's likable maybe? I don't know. You guys tell me haha. Up next: Team Avatar traveling through the sewers with very high tension. Also, is Su gonna live? Thanks for reading guys!
