It has been a week, since our confession. We have spent the entire time helping Iroh set up the new tea shop, and buying the new apartment furniture. "Jasmine Dragon?" I looked up at the new place. 

"Are you sure you can't be here on opening day?" Zuko asked me.

"I have someone to meet." I smiled at him. "I'm sure you guys will do perfectly fine."

"Someone you trust?" Zuko asked.

"Someone from work. I'll be fine. I gotta go. See you in a couple days!" I pulled him down for a quick kiss on the cheek. 

"Couple days?!" I heard Zuko's voice as I left.

Looking around, there was no one. Pulling my hat lower, I entered the building. It was busy, thugs, pirates, criminals. Sitting at the table closest to the door, I waited. Someone set down two cups of tea, placed down the bill and left. Looking at the staff who left, I flipped the bill over, was the fire symbol, followed by the letter A. "Azula is here... There is no panic from citizens or from the Dai Li, as far as I can tell." Bending the tea into small beads of water under my palm, I touched the bill, soaking it, making the message unreadable. 

Leaving the building I sighed, staring up at the walls that protected the city. "Now what.." I sighed, heading back into the city. "Telling them is pr-" I fell as something grabbed my feet. Looking back, there were rocks around my legs. Looking around I saw a group of Dai Li around me. Frowning, I pulled myself to my feet. 

"Can someone explain this?" I asked them.

"We have someone who wants to meet you." They all had their arms up, ready to bind my hands if I were to try anything.

"Azula?" I asked smiling.

"How did you know?" One of them asked.

"Guess." I smiled.

They seemed surprised but I was faster, taking the water from the surrounding plants, stabbing icicles through their hands. Pinning them to the floor. "No thanks." I got the dirt around my feet wet, pulling my feet out of the mud I began to run. 

"Can't go back now." I thought as I glanced behind me to see if any backup had come to start chasing me. "I have to go back and take my things. No, if they know who I am I can't lead them back to those two." I headed for the slums.

"It should be around here.." I thought, pulling my mask higher, looking at the building.

"Payment?" I looked at the kid.

"If this is wrong, I will find you." I gave the kid a bag of some snacks and coins.

"I swear!" He smiled and ran off.

Walking up the stairs, I knocked, and heard nothing. Looking in from the open windows, it was empty. "Did they leave?" I thought, picking the lock and entering the building.

Looking through the other rooms, I heard the front door open. "Momo!" I heard Aang's voice.

"Someone else is here." I heard Toph.

"Don't attack." I stepped out, taking off my mask and hat.

"(Y/n)!" Aang smiled and I looked at Sokka who waved a quick hi.

"Someone else." Toph looked at the door, "(Y/n) and I know this person, and old friend of ours."

"You guys know each other?" Aang asked and I peeked over to see it was Iroh.

"May I come in?" Iroh asked.

I looked at him and he looked at me. "Where's -" Iroh shook his head and I sighed.
