I stepped outside and saw two of Tenzin's training meditating. His kids looked nice, although I've never talked to them yet.

"So, how do you know my father?" A female voice said from next to me. I looked next to me and see one of his kids looking up at me. She had a small bun on the side of her head. "I grew up with him. For the most part at least." I say. "What's your name?" She asked. "Keira." I say. "I'm Jinora, Tenzin's oldest daughter." She says. "Nice to meet you." I smile. "You too." She returned the gesture.

"I heard you're Azula's daughter. How's that like?" My eyes widened and I cleared my throat. "It's difficult. Everywhere I go, I get stared at. Whenever I would go to the store, everyone would back away. That's when I realized they feared me. I stayed inside the longest I could without going outside. I hated being looked at the way people would look at me." I say. "How'd they look at you?" Jinora asked, sitting down on the steps. I did the same. "They looked at me with pure hatred. I'm nothing like my mother." I said.

"But you're still a criminal." Kya said, appearing next to me. "Yeah, that too." I chuckle.

"Anyways, Asami is brining a huge blimp. Tenzin, Bumi, Bolin, and Korra are all going to find the new Airbenders." She says. "I literally have no clue who Asami and Bolin are." I say. "You'll meet them." Kya says. I nod. "Speaking of which.." Kya said and pointed to a huge blimp coming our way.

We all stood up and everyone else came outside, the other kids running over to all of us.

We made our way to the entrance and the blimp staircase lowered itself down. The door opened and revealed a woman with black hair, leaning her arm on the door frame and her other hand on her hip.

"Did someone order a fully equipped future industries airship?" She asked.

"She's pretty." I whisper to Kya, earning a chuckle from her.

"It's perfect. Thanks, Asami." Korra said. "I figured if were going to Ba Sing Se to search for airbenders, we should do it in style." Asami said.

"While you guys are gone, Pema, Keira, and I will hold down the fort." The silver haired woman said and picked up the baby. "Who's excited to spend some time with your auntie Kya?" Kya then threw him up and down but not letting go of him. The baby threw up on her clothes and I burst out into laughter. "Oh." Kya says. She looked at me and frowned. "Let's see you deal with him." She says. "No thanks." I chuckle and Pema walked over to us. The baby clinged onto Kya and she used her water to get rid of the puke.

"Aw, he likes you." Pema said and rubbed the baby's back.

"What's his name?" I ask. "Rohan." Pema says. "Cute." I smile.

"I'm gonna head down to the city. I'll be back later." I say. "See ya later." Kya waves with her free hand.

I roamed the city streets, grabbing some food to munch on. As I was walking through the streets, I came across a small down town fair. Some of the stands were games and some of them were food. I noticed a little girl who was standing behind a shop, crying, and squeezing a stuffed animal. I made my way over to her and bent down to her level. She back away a few steps.

"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you. Are you alone?" I ask with a gentle voice. She nods and wipes her tears. "Do you know where your mom is? Or might be?" I ask. She shakes her head. "I'm gonna help you find her, okay?" I say. "Can you describe her for me?" "Brown hair, blue eyes and a dark blue coat with brown pants." She says. They must be from the water tribe. "Okay. Can I pick you up?" I ask and she nods. I pick her up and she wraps herself around me tightly.

We walked around for at least 20 minutes, unable to find her mother. While looking for this girl's mother, I ran into someone.

"You have a kid?" Lin asked, crossing her arms. "No, I'm helping her find her mother." I said. "Let me help, I'm a cop." She says. "No shit." I roll my eyes. She does the same back and we continue to walk around to find this kid's mother.

There were a lot of people in the same colors so it was pretty difficult.

"There!" The little girl yells pointing to a woman that she described. She was talking with a few officers.

"Mommy!" She yells. Her mom quickly turned her head and ran over to us.

"Thank you so much for finding my daughter. I owe you guys." She said. "No worries. And thank her, she's the one who found your kid." Lin said pointing to me. She smiled brightly at me, I return the gesture.

The little girl walked over to me and handed me her stuffed teddy bear. "This is yours, you keep it." I bend down. She shakes her head. "It's yours now, you keep it." She says and I take the teddy bear. "Well thank you... what's your name?" I say. "Ali." She says. "Thank you Ali." I smile. She gave me a quick hug and left with her mother.

"And you said you're not a fan of kids." Lin chuckled. "Oh shut up." I said standing up.

"Anyway, what're your plans for the day?" She asked. "Nothing really, just walking around the city since I haven't been here in a long time." I say. "I could show you around?" She says. "Nah." I shake my head. I looked at her for a moment, watching her think. "You could help me with some paper work?" She suggested. I shake my head again. Lin shrugged and took a glance at me, finding that I'm already looking at her. She immediately looked away. "I'm gonna go back to the station. I'll see you soon." And with that she walked away. I watched as she walked away with some other officers.

I looked at the teddy bear and smiled. Sometimes I really wish I had a daughter, but I would never have the time to take care of her. I'm always doing something.
