oh and sorry for the swearing it's toph so whatcha gonna do?

"I can't do it!"

"Lin concentrate! You will never get metalbending if you don't concentrate. Now get in your horse stance. Good. Now-" Toph was cut of by the sound of an air bison closing in.

She let out a breath of air, blowing the bangs out of her face, "you have got to be kidding me! No way is it time for school."

"Hey aunt Toph," said Tenzin sliding down Appa's tail, Toph waved a nonchalant hand "you ready for school Lin?"

Toph answered for her daughter, "yeah the brat is ready."

"Says you, hag!" Lin retorted.

"Cow!"

"Bitch!"

"Cu-"

Aang cut in, before she could say the most offensive word in the dictionary, "Su is listening."

"-tie"

Lin smirked. "Princess!"

"Sweetness!"

"Sugar queen!" Lin was laughing at her mother's expression.

"You did not just sugar queen me!" Toph kicked the gowned sending a pillar to protrude from under Lin's feet. She landed on Appa's back safely, "get to school. I have to take Su to kinder."

"Are you picking them up from school Toph?" asked Aang taking up the reigns.

"Yeah, I'll have Tenzin back to you by four."

"Appa, yip yip."

Tenzin sat down next to Lin, unsure why she was scowling. No one had teased her yet, so there was no reason for her to be upset. "Are you okay?" He asked, not really expecting an answer.

"No, I'm not okay. Mother is starting to get annoyed that I can't metalbend."

"You're only ten. Toph was twelve when she invented it."

"And she had the right motivations." Lin let out a defeated sigh, "I can feel the imperfections in the metal but it wont budge"

"What's this? The amazing Lin can't metal bend? Maybe you're adopted. Seeing how you don't have a dad." I girl called Maya nasally teased.

"Go away Maya" said Tenzin defending his friend

"I'm just stating the obvious."

"You there," Called the substitute teacher from her position at the black board. "Take your seat please. Now can someone remind me where you left yesterdays lesson?"

"Toph Bei Fong invents metalbending." A student called out.

"Great." Mumbled Lin.

The substitute opened textbook. "Thank you. Now Toph invented metalbending when she was searching the underground chambers for the Fire Lord."

Lin scoffed loud enough for the class to turn their heads in her direction. The teacher ignored it continuing with her teachings. "Now, Toph was allowed to travel with the Avatar when he approached Toph's parents, Lao and Poppy Bei Fong, they approved straight away. And if this didn't happen we would never have metalben-"

"That's a lie!" Lin stated, fuming with anger.

"Excuse me?! Sit down this instant!"

"No!" the class gasped at their fellow classmate for defying their teacher, even if she was a sub, "I will not let Toph's greatest achievement be a lie." Lin felt strange calling her mother by her first name.

"Well then why don't you tell us your version." The teacher leaned against her desk, an amused smile on her face.

"First off, Toph invented metalbending when two men, her parents hired, captured her in a metal pod. One of the men was her earthbending teacher and the other was the announcer of the Earthbending Rumble. And secondly her parents didn't let her go willingly, she ran away. Her parents banned Avatar Aang from their estate, including his friends." Lin sat down, finally relieved to have told the truth about her mother.

"That's a very vivid imagination you have there. But because I'm feeling generous, maybe you can enlighten me as to why you think you are correct and the textbooks aren't?" oh the teacher was looking forward to hear this.

"Because I'm-" Lin was cut off by an explosion coming from outside. All the students ran to the nearest window. They looked down from their position on the third floor, to see five bombs go off throughout the city. Sirens could be heard approaching from all directions.

"Okay kids we need to leave in an orderly fash-" a bomb from above muffled her words. Panic set in throughout the students. Rubble started to fall on them. Lin raised her arms stopping the roof from collapsing on her class. The windows were closed off. Kids began to scream.

"TENZIN!" Lin shouted out unable to see her friend through the darkness.

He let out a cough that was caused by the dust, "I'm here. We need to get everyone out!"

"I know. First things first. Clear the dust out of here. Use the vents, or find a crack in the wall. Then bring fresh air in."

Tenzin let an explosive ball of air expel from his body unsure where to send the dust, given the darkness. "Okay it's done what now?"

"Take off my shoes." Lin said knowing that Tenzin understood why she was asking this, "watch your hands!"

"Oh sorry!" he pulled the shoes off being careful not to destroy her hold on the roof.

"I need you to get the class to shut up and listen to me."

Tenzin sucked in a gust of wind, pursed his lips and let out a loud high pitched whistle.

"Thanks airhead. EVERYONE LISTEN UP!" she commanded "I can't hold the entire roof up, I need everyone to get behind me and hold hands." The class complied not wanting to go against the only earthbender in their class, let alone a Bei Fong. "Stay close we're moving out." Lin let parts of the roof fall now that people didn't occupy the space below. She slowly used her earthbending to move the rubble in front of her, making a passageway. They made their way to the stairwell, "everyone reach to your left and grab the railing." Lin was beginning to strain at the weight of the earth around her, not knowing how much longer she could last. "We need to move quickly"

Everyone followed the fast pace Lin set for them, making it to the steel doors of the school. She sighed in defeat not knowing where to go from there. She knew one wrong move and the building would crush anyone left inside. She stomped her foot sending as many vibrations out as possible. She found it, she found hope. "MUM!"

"LIN?! Are you okay!" Toph shouted.

"No! The dust is making it hard for most of the kids in here to breath and I'm not sure how long I can hold the earth around us up!" Lin was beginning to panic not knowing what to do.

"Lin! Listen to me. I'm going to take the roof off of your hands. When I say so, you can drop your arms." Toph sensed the points of the earth that needed to be held up within the school. She raised her arms taking the weight effortlessly. "Got it. You can relax now."

Lin was about to drop her arms when the teacher began to shout, "no you can't! The building will collapse on us! Go get the chief of Police! She can help us."

"Hey kiddo! What the flameo is this dunderhead talking about?"

"She's a sub," said Tenzin not in the mood for a conversation at this point, "Aunt Toph we can't open the metal doors, they're jammed shut and no one is a metal bender. Please tell me you can open them from your side."

"No can do junior. If we move them from our end, it could cause them to become unstable and you wouldn't want that. Lin?!"

"I'm here!"

"You need to metalbend."

"She can't metalbend! She's weak!" shouted Maya

"Shut the fuck up kid! Who the fuck do you think you are, telling a Bei Fong they can't do anything? Sit your ass down before I do it for you." Toph would make sure Lin taught that kid a lesson, by becoming the youngest metalbender in history. "Lin focus on my voice and my voice only. What do we say about people who doubt a Bei Fong?"

"They're delusional!"

"You got it! Now close your eyes and sense the imperfections within the metal. That's it. Now when you are ready, bend it. It doesn't control you, you control it."

Lin strained against her hold on the metal. It didn't move. "It wont move!"

"Listen to me kid, you need to treat that door like it's your bitch! Take your stance and punch!"

Lin inhaled a deep breath, pulled her fist back to the side of her head and let it rip. A resounding noise like a gong flowed to their ears, she had done it. A large dent marked the door. She smiled at her achievement. She raised her two arms pushing them into her new bitch. It flew off its hinges across the schoolyard, taking the earth with it.

Everyone ran outside into the sun. "You gotta work on your aim kid, you nearly took my head off!"

Lin turned in the direction of her mother, running into her arms, they hugged as the building came crashing down, not caring one bit as her officers had secured all occupants of the building moments before. "Laddies and gentleman, the world's youngest metalbender ever, LIN BEI FONG!" An applause erupted from the officers and Tenzin, as Toph lifted Lin to sit on her shoulder. The schools occupants looked in disbelief as they saw the school crashing down and not one law enforcement caring.

It was night time and Lin was staying the night at Air Temple Island, as Toph was busy grilling the triads responsible for the explosions, lucky that no one was killed or seriously injured by the day's event.

"Hey Lin?" said Tenzin sitting down next to his best friend, "I just wanted to say you were amazing today."

"You were too." She defended, "if it weren't for you, we would have all passed out!"

Tenzin smiled, he thought about how Lin hadn't inherited her mother's huge ego. "Do you think we made our parents proud?"

"Yeah of course. Your dad is so proud of you for helping save our whole class and my mother is proud of me for being the youngest metalbender ever." They sat together watching the sun set over the city, peaceful once again.
