The Protector (sokka x reader)

Jet

after training hard with sokka yesterday we were exhausted but we promised aang that we would help him with finding appa.

sokka and i got some paper out and some paint. we both attempted to paint a picture of appa.

in the middle of our arts and craft session katara and aang walked in

"we found a printer to make our posters!"

she showed us the picture of appa and it was totally identical to him. i frowned and looked down at my really poor drawing of the big bison.

"hey, i thought designing the lost appa poster was our job. we've been working all day on our appa!" sokka said clearly offended

he showed katara and aang his picture with biggest smile on his face

katara and aang were trying to hold in their laughter

"what about you y/n? where's your picture?" aang asked so innocently

"um i rather not show you.."
"oh cmon it can't be worse than sokka's" katara said trying to cheer me up

"oh trust it is. it's way worse."

i reluctantly showed them my picture and let's just say everyone was so shocked at how bad it was.

"why does he only have 3 legs?" aang asked
"um it's a side view?" i said just as confused

i quickly took away my trash drawing and put it in a drawer.

toph took the drawing out of the drawer and pretended to look at it

"it looks just like him to me!"
"ha. ha. thanks toph i appreciate your input" i said in a sarcastic tone

"let's just stick to the proffesional version" katara said

sokka then threw a tantrum by ripping up his drawing

"come on! let's get busy" aang said eager to find his best friend
———
aang went out to drop flyers throughout the city. we all were playing game except for toph, she was sitting against the wall relaxing.

aang suddenly came in

"i just finished dropping all the leaflets. has anyone come in with news about appa?"

aang was clearly anxious but i don't blame him.

"it's only been a day. just be patient." katara said and aang sat down with us.

we heard a knock at the door a few seconds later and immediately jumped up to answer the door.

"wow you're right patience really does pay off!" he opens the door "joo dee?"

my head shot up and i gripped my ankle where my knife was stored

"hello aang, katara, sokka, toph, and y/n"

while getting up i casually hid the knife behind my hand. we all stood in front of joo dee and she walked in.

"what happened to you? did the dai li throw you in jail?"

i tensed up at the mention of the dai li. sokka noticed and put a hand on my shoulder which made relax a bit

"what jail? of course not. the dai li are the protectors of our culture and heritage"

bull. shit.

"but you disappeared at the earth king's party" toph pointed out
"oh i simply took a short vacation to lake laogai, out in the country, quite relaxing."

i suddenly remembered the dai li

~flashback~
the dai li had my hands tied up and my mouth covered. while taking me to another room. long feng was there.
