"Opal, watch out!" Kuvira shouted as she saw the metal ball hurtling toward the girl. Wing and Wei had lost control of it playing their game, and Kuvira was too far away to stop it in time. She saw Opal's eyes widen as the ball came toward her, and she held her hands up in front of her face.

Then, something amazing happened. The ball stopped, suspended in front of Opal for a second before it launched away. Kuvira stopped, dumbstruck, watching as Wing and Wei ran toward her. Su had also joined, apparently witnessing the event from the doorway of the house.

Su ran to Opal, hugging the girl. "Opal, are you all right?" she asked. Opal was sitting there wide-eyed staring between the ball and her hands. She looked around, finally coming to Kuvira who still stood there shocked.

"You saw it?" she asked, still looking intently at Kuvira. Su looked between the two confused.

"Saw what?" she asked, still looking between the two.

Kuvira nodded. That hadn't been metalbending. Opal had literally blown the ball away.

"Mom," Opal said, turning her attention back to Su. "I think I just used airbending."

Now it was Su's turn to be shocked. Her eyes widened for only a moment before she stood up.

"I'll be right back," she assured them before rushing back into the house.

Kuvira looked at Opal and then at the boys. "Keep an eye on her and make sure she's okay," Kuvira ordered the boys before sprinting into the house after the matriarch. She didn't know what was going on, but she would find out, at least for Opal's sanity.

When Kuvira found the woman, she was in the study, a radio set in her hands. She was talking into it rapidly, barking orders to connect her to Air Temple Island. Su tapped her fingers on the desk impatiently as she was connected. As soon as a voice came on the line, she was talking.

"Tenzin, it's Su," she said quickly.

"Su?" Tenzin asked. "This is a surprise."

"You have no idea," Su said a bit more quietly, not intending for the man on the line to hear. She put a hand to the bridge of her nose, rubbing it like she had a headache. "Tenzin, I don't know what's going on, but I thought you might be able to figure it out." She began rambling. She was obviously overwhelmed.

"Su, take a breath," Kuvira heard the man say. "What's happened?"

"My daughter, Opal, she just stopped a metal ball thrown at her," Su began explaining. "She's not a bender. She says she airbent it away. How is that possible?"

There was a pause on the line. "This really is a surprise," Tenzin finally said. "Don't be concerned, Su. There's been new airbenders popping up all over the world, not just your daughter, because of Harmonic Convergence."

Kuvira heard Su sigh, and the woman nearly collapsed into the chair in relief.

"The Avatar and I have been all over the Earth Kingdom looking for new airbenders," Tenzin continued. "I have to go back to the Air Temple to train a group we just found, but she will be there with her friends soon to talk to your daughter. It will be ok, Su."

"Thank you, Tenzin," Su said gratefully. She pushed a button on the set, disconnecting the communication. Then, she turned, locking eyes with Kuvira.

"You didn't bend it away, did you?" Su asked immediately. Kuvira shook her head.

"That wasn't metalbending," she said. "You know that as well as I do."

Su shook her head. "I know," she said. "It's a surprise, that's all. I'm not sure how I feel about this." Kuvira could tell the woman was upset but didn't know what to do about it. She felt the urge to comfort her but couldn't bring herself to do so. Physical affection had never been her forte. Anyway, she had taken too long to decide as the matriarch was brushing past her out the door. "Please get Baatar Sr. for me," she ordered. "I'll be outside with Opal. We need to talk about some things."

Kuvira saluted, reverting back to soldier instead of pseudo family member. She took off in the opposite direction toward Baatar's office to do her job. That was all she could do.

Hope you enjoyed! I found I've missed having Opal in these chapters.

Thanks to all of you reading and reviewing! I love hearing from everyone! Also, if you have anything you absolutely want to see written send me a message. I get those done pretty quickly :)
