i'm fifteen, you jerk! (a:tla, reader insert)

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

"Aang, does it have anything to do with my sister or my country?" you asked, and he looked away. "Fuck. Fuck. Okay, let's just see the leader of this city."

"Nothing to worry about?!?" you exploded. "Listen here, buddy. That's my sister in that fucking tank, and let me tell you. She is not one to mess with. So you better watch as she destroys your fucking earthbenders. Ty Lee and Mai are forces to be reckoned with, too. My uncle was the Dragon of the West, Azula's picked up a thing or two. So watch."

"We're doomed!" you laughed. "I told you so." Sokka slapped the general. "Get a hold of yourself!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. May I have your help now, Avatar?" Aang nodded. "It's not just the Avatar you're gonna want. Toph's one of the best earthbenders there is, and Katara's a waterbending master. Sokka's a nonbender, but he's still strong. What do you say, general?"

"What should we do?" Everyone turned to Sokka, who started to protest. "General," you addressed Sung. "I need a babysitter for my children. Can a soldier watch them for me?" he frantically nodded. "Bring a nurse!" he commanded.

"His chi is blocked. No doubt Ty Lee's doing. If there are other people who Katara doesn't heal who have the same issue, just let them lie down for a bit." you recommended. "It's like she takes you down from the inside." Katara chimed in. "I got it!" Sokka shouted, and he told you all his plan. "By hitting its pressure points!" Toph agreed.

"Oh no, what a nightmare!" you giggled. The five of you crept under the drill, and you hissed at Toph to come inside. When she revealed her reason not to, you nodded, giving her forehead a quick kiss. "Stay safe, okay?" goddamn, it's like you're adopting everyone.

"Hey!" you approached the engineer, freezing the steam that covered him and grabbing the schematics out of his frozen hand. "Thanks, man. I needed this." you scurried off with your friends as Sokka led you to a bunch of pillars.

"Why don't you melt it?" you shook your head. "It doesn't work like that. It would be too loud, and, the entire thing would melt and cool at the wrong time." you smiled sadly, watching Katara and Aang work on cutting through the beam. "I can take your place, Aang. Katara, Aang can replace you in a moment. You'll take turns." you replaced Aang, starting to bend the water back and forth.

"Damn. Of course it wouldn't move." you're an idiot. You know that, right? The walls rumbled, and you perked up. "Yes!" you squealed, but you celebrated too early. A voice declared that the drill had gotten into Ba Sing Se. Fuck. Sokka started to push against it, trying to get it to move. Aang gasped. "What's up?" he started to bounce around, announcing his plan.

"What's that going to do? You're just freezing it again!" you continued to melt and cool the pipe down. "It makes it fragile, Sokka. The more I continue to melt and cool the metal, the more brittle it becomes. Soon enough, it's weak enough that a simple kick will get it to fall." you explained, moving onto another beam.

"Fuck! My sis- Azula's here!" you yelled, already starting to fight her off. Fuck with her. The evilest part of your mind whispered at you. She got closer, and that's when your cruel streak came out. "You know," you dodged her fire, leaping towards her. "you could've been something. If only you weren't such a monster." you sighed, and she faltered, before continuing to try and fight you.

"Your mother thought you were disgusting. Take it from me, and take it from your brother, Zuko. I met up with him, and he told me all about you. How your mother thought you were sick, and twisted." you started to run with Katara and Sokka, and Azula chased after Aang while Ty Lee and Mai chased after you.

You looked up at Mai and Ty Lee from the tunnel. "Such a shame you two had to end up like this. Slaves to a narcissist." you smirked, submerging yourself in the sludge. You let the current take you away as you listened to Mai and Ty Lee's conversation. You fell out, quickly regaining your bearings as Katara started to waterbend the flow of sludge to a stop. "Y/N, help!" you joined in, silently shaming her for using your real name. We'll talk later, Katara.
"Shut up, Sokka. You're such a fucking child sometimes." you flicked some of the sludge in his open mouth, satisfied when he stopped speaking. You gave an apologetic to Ty Lee. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier." Sokka made a noise of outrage. "You can't apologize to the enemy!"

"Sokka," you whispered. "I knew her when we were younger. She's very nice, she just can't think for herself." you raised your voice, turning back to Azula's friend. "I needed you to be distracted for a moment. You understand, don't you? You don't have to. After all, you're still so young."

"You're young, too."

"Am I? I feel closer to death than to birth. I should be dead, actually. I should've drowned earlier." Ty Lee struggled, and you almost released your hold on her, before you remembered what she was doing. "I know we've talked about it a little before, but we need the full details. Like, how did your outfit randomly change? Your eyes were glowing, too!"

"Katara, now isn't the time. And even if I knew, I probably wouldn't tell you. And for your information, I don't know. I'm still trying to figure it out myself."

"Team Avatar! The Aang Gang! The Fearsome Five!" you chuckled, leaning on Katara. "No, Sokka. Please, stop. You might be the ideas guy, but you're not the names guy."
