suki from avatar: the last airbender

the force had felt so strong in her in the last few weeks that there was nearly no need to think when an object was suddenly sailing through the air directly at her face. rey’s hand rose sharply and the fan stopped mid-air, freezing in suspension, a meter away from her. it stayed exactly where it was as their gaze moved back to the other who had accidentally projected in their direction. clearly capable of such a thing – but she wasn’t using the force.

“it’s okay,” they reassured her. gently, they used the force to send the fan back in the other’s direction at a slow pace, making sure that it didn’t startle her or seem offensive. “i didn’t mean to startle you. i don’t see a lot of people doing that.” without the force, at least.

suki is shocked by the other. she had never seen anyone be able to stop something mid air like that -- except for aang. but he was an airbender. was it possible that they were one too? or had some sort of similar power. “how are you doing that?” she asked them, visible curiosity in her face as takes the fan back into her hands. suki didn’t mean to come off blunt, so she shook her head slightly. “sorry. i just -- i don’t see many people doing that either,” she counted with a small smile. “these fans are my weapons,” the warrior began to explain. “they’re an extension of my arm. used for defence, or offence. as you just experienced.”

“Yeah, it makes the whole thing less…consuming.” He smiled at her happiness for him. But, Zuko was eager to change the topic from his memories, so he was happy when the conversation moved back to Pai Sho. But the mention of Uncle Iroh made his smile falter a bit, but it more so relaxed him to hear something about him. “You know my uncle?”

suki nodded. “mhmm. he’s a great man.” practically a father to zuko from what she knew. iroh had always stuck by zuko, no matter what. in his banishment, in their brief time of refugees. there was not enough words to describe the kindness and wisdom of him. “he loves you a lot -- and makes the best tea i’ve ever had.” she figured happy memories would be the best to bring up. “owns the best tea shop in ba sing se. heck, the whole earth kingdom.”

“do you think they’ll find the killer?” suki asked out loud to the person next to her as she saw another two police officers cross the street in front of her. “i’d offer them any assistance, but i’m focused on keeping my friend safe right now.” her main focus was zuko. though he’s more than capable of looking after himself, with him still not regaining all his memories yet, suki wanted to keep a close eye on him. it was her job as head body guard, after all. 

woodshore had seemed fairly safe and stable at first but the recent events had sent almost everyone into a panic. a level head remained screwed on her shoulders, but a lot of things were unpredictable right now. “i don’t trust this town.”

“I grew up with acrobat parents, I learned from them.” Inej smiled wistfully as memories of her childhood played in her head. “I don’t how good of a teacher I am, but I could help? Flexibility is a hard thing to master.”

suki nodded as she listened. she knew that ty lee’s was a self taught skill. she had left her noble family to join the circus for a sense of individuality. “my friend has been teaching me some. i’m pretty flexible, but there’s some moves that definitely will take me a lot of practice.”

“i don’t think people in this town hide much of anything. appa is the best hay bale!” suki had always had a soft spot for appa ever since finding him after he got separated from aang. she only wished that her and the rest of the warriors could help more before being attacked. “wait -- she’s the next avatar? how is that possible when you’re still... when you’re the avatar?”

the woods didn’t seem safe anymore. usually suki would like to train in the woods. or on the outskirts of them. they had a hall back in her village on kyoshi island, where her and the warriors trained. the gyms in town had similar halls, but they felt foreign to suki. sometimes she would train outside on the island so they could be hardened to the elements. it felt more natural to be out here. that, and the ocean reminded her of sokka. 

arms moved gracefully and fans glided through the air until she was startled by the sound of sand crunching. quickly, one of the fans closed and it was sent shooting straight for the other in a defensive move. “i’m sorry!” suki exclaimed at them. “you startled me.”

“I kind of do, Aang has helped me remember some.” Zuko raised an eyebrow at her promise to protect him, then he remembered when he first re-met her and she said she was sworn to protect him. His face softened and he smiled a bit. “I know I’m in good hands then.” He chuckled as she nudged him. “Does it? Maybe as you’re protecting me, you can help me remember how to play Pai Sho.”

“that’s good!” suki said happily. she was glad that aang was here to help zuko work through and remember things. he was definitely more suited for it than she was. after all, they shared a deeper and more special connection than suki and zuko ever would. which was understandable. “you certainly are,” she beamed. “i can try. i don’t know much, though. me and sokka tried to have a game once. he’s smart and intelligent in many things, but pai sho isn’t one of them. but i have had a few attempts of games with your uncle.” the warrior trailed off after that, unsure on whether the mention of iroh would upset him or not.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” She couldn’t imagine being separated from her friends without any way of contacting them, she was jittery enough being away from her Hunters. “Nice! I’m dying to spar with someone new, sparring with the same people gets predictable.”

“it’s okay. they can handle themselves so i know that they’re safe. besides, i have a few here so i’m not totally alone.” having aang around now definitely made her happier. it was almost impossible to feel sad around the boy. “it does, you’re right. i mostly spar with my other warriors and since we were all trained in the same style, it’s not a challenge anymore. what kind of style are you trained in?” 

[fiercesuki]

ofrubycrowns‌:

“I get that, it’s nice to watch my friends and family actually live.” Thalia shrugged. “In a way, so was I. Hey, anytime you want to spar - I’m down.”

“most of my friends aren’t here,” suki said sadly. she hoped they were safe. she hoped they weren’t too worried about her. it wasn’t just sokka, katara and toph suki had left behind. it was the rest of her sector of kyoshi warriors. as their leader, she should be there for them. but she knew that they could handle themselves well. “oh, i’ll totally take you up on that. i’m sure you’ll be a worthy opponent. it’ll be fun to see your style!”

her  words  are  a  blanket  of  comforting  reassurance  that  he  needed .    what  happened  with  zuko  still  stung  but  at  the  same  time ,  deep  down ,  he  knew  she  was  right .    this  was  a  lot  for  zuko  so  he  need  to  take  it  in .    aang  had  to  process  all  his  memories  back ,  too .    it  was  a  lot  quicker   &   probably  better  having  it  all  at  once  but  even  then  it  was  a  lot  to  take  in .            ❝     thanks ,  suki .     and  i  gotta  disguise  him  somehow !     otherwise  he  wouldn’t  get  to  fly  at  all !     nobody  here’s  even  heard  of  a  flying  bison !    ❞            nobody   …    except  for  one .    though  their  interactions  had  been  scarce  there  was  still  one  other  person  from  their  world .            ❝     well    …     actually ,  korra  knows  about  flying  bison .     have  you  met  korra  around  here  yet ?    ❞

“yeah, the people of this town haven’t heard of a lot of things. but the thought of no one knowing appa! he’s the biggest and best flying animal out there. did you know there’s dragons here too?” suki paused for a moment at aang’s question. it wasn’t a name she recognised but it sounded like it was a water tribe name. “no, i’ve not. who’s korra?”

(¸.• ♛ → “Don’t even a challenge…” A huff escaped from her lips, annoyed that she wasn’t at camp where she was meant to be trying to find a way to defeat that new enemy, she needed to be in that war and now she was here, with a normal job and that she can’t use her full strength, it was just so frustrating. “Next time, I won’t be that merciful so keep up.” Is not like she was that merciful but compared to other times, yes, she was. Now she just turned around and went to grab her stuffs, training in this gym wasn’t something she wanted to do, she has to try and be all human-ish but she was so eager to go and face something dangerous.

suki watched as the other easily defeated the other person she was sparring with. if anything, she was a little too aggressive, shown by her words to the other afterwords. “you know, there’s punching bags to take your anger out on,” she commented, though her voice was soft instead of accusing. “i think your partner would probably prefer that next time.”

“I lost someone I cared about. He didn’t die, he just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave and funny…” “Who is this guy? Is he taller than me?”

“they’re not necessarily a weapon,” suki explained, as she showed steve the golden fans. “they can be used as projectiles, but we mostly use them defensively. to turn an opponent’s energy against them.” she gracefully moved her arm, extending it out to full length before opening the fan and then quickly flicking her wrist to close it again and recoiling her arm back in. “they’re an extension of my body. very different to a gun.”

“you might not remember that you’re royalty -- but i do,” suki said, with a firm nod. “and with that man disappearing, i’m keeping a close eye on you.” eyes look up and down the street, scanning for any danger. “besides, it also classes as bonding,” suki teased, nudging zuko playfully.

“It’s distracting.” Inej said simply as she continued to stretch her legs over her until her muscles resisted. She soundlessly dropped her legs and stood, facing Suki with a more sheepish look. She was being irrational, the feeling of that she was living a different life than who she really was was suddenly overwhelming her.

“I’m sorry, okay?” 

“it’s okay -- “ suki responded to her apology. “where did you learn those moves?” she had only ever seen ty lee move like that. she had began teaching suki and the rest of the kyoshi warriors after she joined them. so far it had gone well, but none of them could move like her. “i don’t think i could ever be that flexible.”

“Is it weird that I miss fighting?” Thalia fidgeted in her seat. “It’s weird not having to worry about fighting something or someone every five minutes.”

@fiercesuki​

“i know the feeling -- but i quite like the peace,” suki responded, offering a smile. “all i knew was war. i was born into it. though, things are a little quiet. i need to stop being so complacent and get back into shape.”
