Loki hugs Fya once more and Fya puts up her hood and dons her mask. She had purposefully put on her Loki uniform before she went through.

Loki touches her shoulders. We will meet again he says.

Now go before I change my mind. Fya takes a deep breath and steps through.

She looks around thanking Agni that it's night time.

She's in a familiar earth kingdom town the one she was attacking in when she first disappeared.

She hurries towards the town and stays in the shadows. She goes to the notice board.

Her eyes widen when she sees herself and most of the 41st on the board with her reward for 500 gold pieces.

She quickly takes it down and she turns and heads for the forest.

She sees a fire nation camp and decides to steer clear. Instead she finds a small clearing with plenty of branches nearby and she sits down her hands on her swords.

She's always been a light sleeper she tells herself

....Fya wakes to the sound of the whoosh of a boomerang she rolls in the dirt and she scales the tree in a matter of seconds.

She looks down at the assembled group.

A water bender a boomerang guy both water tribe and the avatar.

Fya's eyes widen in fear.

Sokka! The arrowed avatar says why did you attack! She's a fire bender!

It's obvious look at her uniform!

Fya sighs internally and she jumps down and grabs his boomerang and stares at it beneath her mask and then she holds it out to him.

His eyes widen. She rolls over in her head what she should do. A) lead them to the soldiers or b) steer them away. After all it's up to Zuko to capture the avatar. I still shouldn't reveal who I am they may need money Fya pulls out a small pad and writes there's a fire nation camp - here she draws a picture and circles it. Steer clear you really don't want to know what they'll do to your friend no one deserves that even the avatar.

Fya hands the note to the one called Sokka and then she turns wanting to flee-

wait! He calls out to her. Isn't helping us treason or something?

Fya huffs and she writes in her pad again Prince Zuko has to come home or the fire nation is doomed...the world will be doomed. If Prince Zuko doesn't come back the war won't end with fire lord Ozai.

She hands the note back and he says don't you talk? Fya scowls beneath her mask and then she hears more talking and she flees hiding hiding a tree. She watches as a teen with hooked swords and a few others lead the group inadvertently to the soldiers. Idiots. Fya flees going to the camp and she unseen protects the soldiers going up against the so called freedom fighters.

She sees one of their faces. It can't be. She sees a symbol on their uniform it isn't fire nation it's Loki's symbol her symbol.

The soldiers flee but Fya keeps fighting until her hair is pinned to a tree the boy with hooked swords comes over and he says looks like you knew them.

Now what kind of dirty rotten kid would know fire nation soldiers? He says.

I can hear the hate and bitterness in his voice.

Doesn't he know we didn't have a choice? And besides we didn't burn down the town we were only cover for those that did even if we didn't know it.

He tears off my mask and his his eyes widen. Ahhh it's a little bit** he says.
