"Get back here Su." Lin stormed across the training ground, fuming with rage at her sister.

"You aren't the boss of me!" Su spun around on her heel, facing Lin with a glare.

"You asked me for help and that's what I'm trying to do."

Su scoffed at her as the words left her mouth. "How is yelling at me help?"

"If you followed my instructions to begin with, I wouldn't have to yell at you."

"Whatever." Su began walking away from her older sister, only to stop when a firm hand took hold of her upper arm. She whirled around with her fist clenched, allowing it to connect with Lin's jaw. She gasped in shock at her action. "Oh spirits! I am so sorry Lin!"

Lin slowly turned her head back to face her sister, blood trickling from her mouth. There was a look in her eye that screamed anger. She raised her own arm, punching Su in the ribs. "Don't you dare think you can get away wi-"

Too late. Su tackled Lin to the ground, letting out a flurry of punches at any part of Lin's body. Lin used her hip to reverse their position, letting punches of her own fly in different directions. Su kicked the larger woman off her, standing up with a groan. She rushed at Lin, arm outstretched clipping her on the chin.

The commotion brought on by the duo, caused Tenzin, Bumi, and Kya to come running from the main house. "Lin, Su, stop!" Kya moved in between the two, only to be ignored when Su swept Lin's legs from under her. "They aren't listening. Bumi, Tenzin, do something!"

Tenzin took Lin by the waist, whilst Bumi took Su by the arms, pulling the two girls away from each other. "Lin, honey, look at me, you need to stop. You're bleeding and hurt. Let my mother heal you."

Lin kept her gaze set firmly on Su's form, trying to break Tenzin's grip so she could attack her again. Tenzin placed a hand on her face, moving it slightly so she would look him in the eye. He touched his forehead to hers. "Please, stop."

"Ten-" an arm wrapped around her neck, pulling her away from Tenzin, making it hard for her to breathe. She tried desperately to claw the arm away from her throat. Going so far as to slam the body on her back and her own onto the ground.

"SU! LET GO! YOU'RE KILLING HER!"

Lin began to flail about, not knowing what to do as darkness began to cloud her vision. Killer instincts kicked in. She rammed her elbow into Su's nose, jumping up when she was released. She started punching her sister in the face. After two hits, four muscular arms pulled her away.

Tenzin knew the look in her eyes. He had only seen it when she had killed someone or was in the process of doing so. It was the one look that haunted his dreams at night. He did something he wished he didn't need to do. He knocked her out with a quick jab to her temple.

"She is going to kill you when she wakes up." Tenzin glared at his older brother.

"SU! LIN!"

The Avatar's children looked up to see their mother and aunt Toph bounding towards them.

Katara notice Kya healing Su, so she moved to heal Lin, starting with her face. "What happened?"

"I have no idea. We looked out the window to see them attacking each other."

Katara looked up at her youngest son. "Do you know why they were attacking each other?" Tenzin shook his head.

"I have a question," Tenzin and Bumi looked up at Toph, "if they're both knocked out, then why is Lin over here and Su all the way over there?" She pointed a finger to the ground ten meters away from her, where Kya was currently healing her youngest daughter.

"Tenzin here, decided to knock Lin out." Bumi nudged his little brother with his elbow.

"I take it you have a death wish. Usually I let them either tire themselves out or encase them in earth. That usually knocks them out of it."

"They do this often?"

"Yup! It's part of their healing process. Takes place roughly every six months."

Katara interrupted their conversation. "Bumi dear, can you please take Su to the healing room. Tenzin you can take Lin."

Doing as they were told, they lifted their respective patients into their arms, walking into the healing room where they placed them down on a mat of their own.

An hour passed before Lin woke up. "Wow, he got you good Lin."

"Su? No way you knocked me out first. What happened?"

"Your goodie too shoes boyfriend punched your lights out apparently. I wish I was conscious to see it."

They both let out a sigh of amusement. Lin looked over at her sister from the position on her mat. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine but my nose is killing me. I thought we agreed on not attacking the face."

"I think that went out the window when you punched me in the jaw." Lin reached a hand to her face, lightly brushing the tender skin.

"I think you scared Tenzin."

"Hmm, what makes you think that?"

"You mean other than you and I punching the living daylights out of each other? Well I was pretending to still be asleep, when he came in and started talking to you." Su focused her gaze on the roof. "He said that he was sorry for knocking you out and that it was the only way to get the murderous look out of your eyes."

Lin let out a sigh. "I hoped he'd never have to see them like that again." she brushed the pads of her fingertips across her closed eyelids.

"Hey Lin?"

"Yeah?"

"If they didn't break us up, would you have stopped before anything… serious happened?"

"Of course. I know that I get that look in my eyes but most of it is due to the extent of a situation."

Su let out a breath of relief. "That's good to know. Can I come in?"

Lin raised an eyebrow at the question, quickly understanding what she meant. She lifted the blanket allowing her sister to cuddle up next to her. "I don't think we will ever get too old to do this."

"Yeah. Next time we fight, no faces. Agreed?"

Lin let out a small laugh. "Agreed."
