04 - Family

Returning back to the tribe from his training Levi walked to his home where he saw his mother Kya inside already awake near a fire preparing to make them breakfast while the rest of his family were nowhere to be seen, obviously still asleep. 

"Good morning mom." He greeted with a cheerful smile fit for a kid his age as he entered. He didn't want to make anybody suspicious by being way too mature for his age so he still had to act like a child for now, not that he minds, although even then he still didn't succeed completely as everyone thinks that he's mature for his age.

Hearing him his mother turned around and from the look on her face he could tell that her heart melted as she saw him. He doesn't mean to brag or be arrogant but he definitely hit the genetic lottery in this life. 

He is a very good looking boy with sky blue eyes, brown hair and a really beautiful well proportioned face. No one could help themselves but want to squeeze him. Needless to say he was going to be a lady magnet when he grew up, not that he was that interested, he'd have way more important things to worry about at that point.

"You're up so early in the morning as always, I wonder what my little munchkin is up to, when are you going to tell your mommy huh? hehehe." said His mother as she approached him and started playing with his hair, squeezing his cheeks and teasing him with a big smile on her face.

It was annoying at first but he is not gonna lie, humans are surprisingly adaptable creatures so he got used to it rather quickly. And especially after Sokka and Katara were born, it felt like a weight was off his shoulders as most of his parent’s attention and energy was directed towards them, some children would definitely be jealous but he was only grateful to have some breathing room.

As for why his mother was so relaxed after seeing her son come back so early in the morning? Well she wasn't really worried about his safety, by this point in time there were still a lot of capable warriors and benders in the southern water tribe and it was sufficiently protected so there wasn't a lot of danger laying around, and she also knows that he is more responsible than kids his age and won't risk going far away from the tribe which eased her burden.

Levi wondered if the southern water tribe was always as strong at this point in time in the show, or if this was an entirely different Alternate universe, but now was not the time for that he will have to think about that later on.

"Mom, I said not to call him that and don't treat me like a kid, I am an adult for God's sake." He protested with an annoyed look on his face, but by the looks of it his words have just flown over her head.

"Sure sure hehe, my son is a strong big man I won't do it again." his mother laughed and started rubbing his head and squeezing his cheeks even harder, her previous words meaning nothing.

"Hey stop it!" He said as he tried to struggle out of her grasp, but all of his efforts were futile. Not that he couldn't get out of her grasp though. His strength state is already 3 which is three times that of an average adult. But he still wouldn't do that to his mother even if he could, and he did want to be labeled as some kind of monster by having suck strength at a young age.

He always felt annoyed when he read about characters hiding their power in his previous life and thought it was lame, but now that he was in their shoes he completely understood.

The danger element was real and always present, one wrong move and he would be screwed, the fire nation might hear about him, his own tribe might see him as an anomaly or a monster and isolate him, some people with bad intentions might want him gone now before he can grow any further, only with his life on the line did he understand the importance of secrecy and laying low.

Now he understood, knowing how to stay hidden and unnoticeable was just as important as growing stronger, he would have his time to shine eventually but it was not now.
