In His Element(s) || avatar / bnha

Avatar Whomst?

STARTING SOON ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So... one more time." Shouta pinched the bridge of his nose, regretting both waking up this morning and possibly existence in general. "You're the spiritual avatar of an entirely different world, and in the process of keeping the peace with said spirits, originating from your... dimension , you've come to our world to stop the actively malicious versions of your spirits, because our world told your world that something was wrong."

The child shrugged and grinned, looking much too cheery for someone currently in handcuffs.

"Pretty much!" he chirped. "Your world spirit is really polite, too. Ours was super grumpy about all the spirits escaping, but then yours said it was ok, so long as I teach her more about them on the way back!"

Shouta wondered how hard he'd have to smash his head against the wall to knock himself out. He'd most likely be able to manage it, but the scolding from Recovery Girl probably wouldn't be worth the effort. He settled for sharing a commiserating look with Tsukauchi, who looked like he wanted to cash in all his vacation days right now , because there was no way he was getting paid enough for this.

"He's telling the truth," the detective said, voice slightly muffled from where he'd buried his face in his hands. "He hasn't lied once since he got here."

"Sorry?" the kid- Aang, he'd introduced himself as Aang- said. "I know this is a lot."

Deep breaths, Shouta.

"That covers why ," Shouta said flatly. " How is more important, however. What are you going to be doing while you're here?"

Aang shrugged again.

"The spirits weren't very specific. I know that the main spirit I need to catch and return to the spirit world is in this area. He's the oldest, and most dangerous. The others?" He waved a handcuffed hand from side to side in a far too nonchalant fashion. "Not as much of a problem. Most of the spirits that leaked through are harmless- if anything, they'll probably be more scared than any people they come across."

"So you'll be capturing these- spirits?" Tsukauchi asked, leaning back in the interrogation room chair once again. Aang nodded.

"I've been working on my spirit bending lately, so once I catch them, I should be able to send them back no problem!"

"...great, ok. Anything else we should know about?" Tsukauchi asked tiredly, picking up his pencil from where he'd dropped it about ten minutes ago.

"Umm. I'm the Avatar?"

"What does that mean?"

Aang visibly brightened at that question and Jesus Christ it was like the Problem Child all over again.

"I'm the Avatar, so I can bend all the elements!" He gestured widely and Shouta internally swore because damn it he got out of the handcuffs when did that happen. "Water, earth, fire, and air. But I've also been working on the subclasses of those elements, so like sand, lightning, lava sometimes, metal if I concentrate really hard... oh! Do you have Tremor Sense too? Because my friend Toph uses it and she can always tell if I'm lying by listening to my insides and you said you knew if I was lying which is super cool-"

" Enough, " Shouta grumbled, rapping on the table to get the kid's attention before Tsukauchi passed out from the overload of information. Aang blinked innocently at him, resting his hand back on his lap- in handcuffs again, Shouta noticed. "Kid, we have no idea what you're talking about. Can you show us, instead?"
