Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 112
Just visiting
AN: This is set between the years Avatar the Last Air Bender and The Legend of Korra.
The South Pole: Southern Water Tribe
The world is at peace despite been some trying times over the years as the four nations are at harmony once again and the Fire nation has been rebuilt. Along with Republic City as it stands as a crowing achievement of peace as Zuko and Avatar Aang made sure of that and full grown man in his late 20's has come back from a hunting trip in which he knows it is time to feed the family. He has a warrior's pony tail and is carrying meat in which he is dressed in blue like any member of the water tribe and it has grown into a small city. (See previous chapters for details)
Sokka had come home and has brought dinner for his wife Sukie, along with his two kids. Who knew he married her and often wondered what Gordon Freeman is doing as he must have been battling the combine in other dimensions, as Gordon hasn't been seen again in all these years, he was a cool guy in a strange way and it is snowing at this times with the winds are howling a bit. Suddenly he stopped and turned to his right as he sees a figure of someone approaching the small city.
His first reaction must be a bandit or someone lost as he put his food aside for a moment and walked to where the person is approaching the city. Then he stopped, blinked and stared for a moment, could it be he has returned after all these years.
"Gordon," yelled Sokka
"Oh Sokka," said Gordon "You've grown up a bit."
"And you still look the same Gordon," said Sokka "By now you would be an old guy."
"Hah, you still haven't changed your wit," said Gordon
"Is there an invasion by the Combine," said Sokka "You came to warn us about."
"No I am just here for a visit," said Gordon "And catch up on old times,"
"Man the stories I have to tell you," said Sokka
"Tell me all about it," smiled Gordon
The Fire Nation: Capitol City
The fire nation is thriving nation as the Capitol city has been destroyed many years ago to that monster the overseer prime and many people were slaughtered. The rest of the nation had been untouched as the nation is enjoying it's freedom as Fire Lord Zuko sat upon the throne and it is another day listening to his advisors about this and that, who knew politics can be so boring and he is glad the day is almost over with so he can spend time with May his wife and he did wondered what Aang is up to as the last thing he knows he is on air temple island with his family.
Is that all for the day," said Zuko
"Yes fire lord," said the advisor "As there is one more thing,"
"And what is that," said Zuko
"Intelligence reports state that the one called Gordon Freeman has been wandering around the fire nation," said the advisor "In fact-"
"He was right outside the door," said Gordon "So I decided to let myself in,"
"Heh, you're always welcome to the fire nation Mr. Freeman," said Zuko "Come to warn us of another combine threat,"
"No just visiting," said Gordon "Sokka has told me some interesting stories,"
"Well not much to tell with me and we can share it over a meal," said Zuko
"Works for me," said Gordon
Air Temple Island: Republic City
A few white Lotus guards are guarding the island considering they are guarding the Avatar and his family of three kids then sudden they see someone show up and they go on the defensive and alert the Avatar of a possible intruder maybe an assassin. They are in defensive formation and they have the stranger completely surrounded. Gordon stands there for a moment.
"Hey guys settle down," said Gordon "I'm just here to see Aang and Kitara,"
"Identify yourself," said one of them
"Wait I've seen that symbol in history books," said another one
"Yeah, me too," said another one "It's the symbol of the one-free-man,"
"Oh uh….sorry sir," said the leader "You can press on if you like Mr. Freeman,"
"Heh, no problem," said Gordon "Your just doing your job," he walked away
Aang and Kitara are watching their kids playing as it has been peaceful times, despite all that is happening they are still deep in love and of course Aang is still obsessing on rebuilding the air nomads despite his young son Tenzin is the only other one there is. A shadow looms over them and they spring into action in expecting a fight. However once they see who it is and remained calm.
"Gordon," said the both of them
"Nice to see you two," said Gordon "And you've grown up a bit Kitara in an over developed way,"
"Right…." said Kitara with a blush
Aang chuckled as he is slapped upside the head by Kitara
"You look the same Gordon," said Aang "Are you here to warn us of another invasion by the combine,"
"No just passing through," said Gordon "I heard Toph is the chief of police"
"Yup, it's true," said Kitara
Republic City
A gang of criminals is fleeing the scene of a bank robbery as several metal benders have been knocked out and they flee in a horseless carriage called a car. A young woman in metal bender armor as Toph had just arrived to check on her people, it seems crime has kept her busy these days being the chief of police and all. She instructed her driver to give chase and follow the path of destruction.
The small gang of criminals thought they got away until they see someone in front of them as the person pulled out some type of metal object and fired at them as the vehicle was tossed like a rag doll down the street and the small gang of criminals bailed out of the vehicle as they see the man walking towards them. Two of them used fire bending.
The stream of fire hit the man, however to their surprise he seemed unaffected and Gordon goes on the attack as he takes out his crowbar and whacked one over the head and he elbowed the other one in the stomach as he tossed them aside, the other three criminals used Earth bending by throwing rocks at him, but they bounced off of his armor and Gordon attacked by using a series of martial arts moves to take them down.
The last two who are water benders tried to use ice attacks, but they two were take down and they were left with broken arms and up ahead he sees several vehicles coming as they belong to Republic city police. Gordon decided to stay out of sight for a moment and watch the whole thing go down. He wondered if Toph is around and he spotted all of them getting out of the vehicles.
"I wonder what happened here," said one of them
"Never mind that," said Toph "Give them medical attention and place them under arrest,"
All of them saluted as Toph just stood there as someone must of done this, but who and she felt the vibrations of someone walking towards her as she remained calm she figured it must be a witness of what had happened to the criminals.
"Hey princess melon-head," said Gordon "You've grown up a bit,"
"Gordon," gasped Toph as her breath is almost taken away
"Yes it's me," said Gordon "Is there some reason you are blushing."
"Uh…no, I" said Toph "Never mind that. I will talk to you later when I am off duty."
"No problem," said Gordon "I will be on Air Temple Island and nice city by the way."
"Of course," nodded Toph
Toph thoughts were always on Gordon all these years in fact 13 years as she is in her mid-twenties and she often wondered if he would ever come back. However she has responsibilities to the city and went back to her duties, although she smiled secretly.
Air Temple Island
"What do I do Aang?" said Toph
"This is the first time you called me Aang, besides twinkle toes," said the Avatar "Tell him how you feel, you've been waiting for 13 years,"
She socked him in the shoulder.
"Fine, I'll do it," said Toph "He's looking around the temple."
"Yes and don't do anything I wouldn't do," said Kitara
"Oh shut up sugar queen," said Toph
Inside the temple
Gordon Freeman is looking at the air nomad artifacts and he heard someone walk in as it is Toph in a dress as she has an athletic build to her and her breasts are medium. Her hair looks fancy and she isn't wearing shoes despite her firm legs that can be seen. She looked like she is hesitating for a moment and wanted to leave, so she gulped down and looked really nervous.
"Gordon," said Toph "I've been waiting 13 years for you to show up and I wanted to do this for a long time,"
"And what would that be?" asked Gordon as he has a pretty good idea as in what.
"This," said Toph
She let her emotions flow like water and kissed him on the lips, in which he returned the favor as the level of ecstasy is very high and then they headed into one of the private rooms.
"Oh Gordon," is all Toph had said
The next day
"Gordon, Toph," said Sokka "Where are you?"
Sokka looked around as he heard noises coming from one of the private rooms and took a peek as his eyes became like dinner plates and he watched as both of them get out of bed in the private room naked as Sokka walked away embarrassed at what he sees, until he is tripped by a slight rock and almost crashed into the table and got himself up as Gordon and Toph walk out of the private room.
"Let me guess Republic city needs me," said Toph "Well duty calls,"
"Yup," said Sokka
"Sigh, time to get back to work," said Toph "Come back again soon Gordon,"
"Certainly will," said Gordon "But first breakfast,"
