38. “What happened to your face?”

It's been a minute since I posted a prompt from THIS list. I wrote this at 2 am, sorry for any mistakes

After some convincing from Kya, Lin had agreed to have a "girl's night" at their apartment with Ikki, Opal and Jinora. However, there had been an emergency at the hospital earlier that day and Kya was called to help. Not wanting to let their nieces down—Ikki had been particularly excited to spend time with her aunts—Lin offered to still have girl's night and promised they could do it a second time when Kya was free.

Exhausted, Kya entered the apartment at nearly ten p.m. the living room lights were off, Ikki and Opal were sitting on the floor, engrossed in some mover playing on the screen. Jinora had fallen asleep on the couch.

She quietly ventured a little further into the house, not wanting to interrupt the mover, when Opal noticed her. She smiled brightly and waved at her from her spot on the floor. Ikki didn't seem to notice her presence, her attention completely on the scene before her.

Kya crossed all the way to the kitchen then, where she found Lin washing dishes. When Lin turned around, Kya couldn't contain the surprise at the unexpected sight that greeted her.

“What happened to your face?” Kya blurted out. Lin was wearing a full face of makeup, which was quite unusual for her

“Well, hello to you, too, honey. How was your day?” Lin said with a roll of her eyes, grabbing a towel and a plate to begin drying the dishes, still facing Kya.

”Sorry. Hi.” Kya said, still inspecting her wife's face.

Lin usually just stuck to concealer and the occasional mascara, or simply none at all, for her every day. Even in formal events where they had to dress up for the occasion she opted for a more natural makeup look. Now her features were contoured, her eyebrows done. She had golden eyeshadow and eyeliner (Kya couldn't understand how it looked so perfect on both sides) Her lips were painted a deep red.

“See anything you like?” Lin teased. That's when Kya noticed the now dried dishes to the side and realized she had been looking at Lin for longer than she thought.

She closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, getting rid of a little of the exhaustion of her impromptu shift at the hospital. Getting closer, she grabbed Lin’s hands and looked at her in the eyes, “You look beautiful. I'm just not used to seeing you in this much makeup. Caught me by surprise.”

“It was Opal, with Ikki’s help and a little of Jinora’s as well.” Lin explained. “She has gotten into makeup lately and wanted to practice on me. Ikki and Jinora picked the colors.”

“She did a great job. I'm still surprised you agreed, though. This isn't really your thing.”

”Well, I couldn't exactly say ‘no’ with three pairs of eyes looking at me pleadingly”

“Aww” Kya said, a wide smile spreading on her face at the same time her hands traveled to Lin’s waist, getting even closer. “Who knew you had a soft spot for our nieces?”

Lin growled and turned her head to the side, crossing her arms in front of her. “I do not.” she tried protesting.

But Kya’s grip on her waist didn't loosen at Lin’s attitude and her lips soon found Lin’s cheek. Kissing her repeatedly until she found Lin’s lips and her posture relaxed. With her façade off, Lin’s arms mimicked Kya's, resting on her wife's waist. The two stayed in the kitchen sharing kisses for a little longer.

“At least don't let them see us from the living room. I still have some reputation to uphold.”

[hyper-fixated-princess]

Not to be dramatic but-

Sun is 100% Suyin’s father and Opal’s grandfather.

[polyglottishthings]

I love that Opal immediately told Bolin when he was being weird & walked away, completely refusing to engage with him if he was acting like that. She knows she doesn't have to be accept creepy jerks if she doesn't want to

Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say how much I’m enjoying your writing, it’s amazing 💜

Can I ask for something between Lin and Opal? I’ve always though that chief crankypants has a soft spot for her niece 🥰

prompt #82 - “Just breathe, okay?”

ahh thank you so much!! I completely agree, I think she was probably very grumpy about it at first but definitely cares about opal a lot. This ended up way angstier (?) than I planned, but uh... explosions! aha oops

The blast was huge. Lin rushed behind a building for shelter, though it nearly collapsed on her anyway. She bent the concrete away from her and ran back into the street where everything was in chaos. rubble was everywhere and the ground still shook slightly. There was a minute purple glow to the air, and dust was everywhere. Lin coughed and waved her hand in front of her face in a feeble attempt to breathe clean air.

She stood there for a moment, letting the dust settle around her. The ground stilled and she spun in a slow circle, taking in the extent of the damage. She scanned the small crowd of people beginning to gather near one of the still upright buildings, looking for anyone she knew. She spotted all of the Krew helping one another around, and saw Jinora and the other airkids as well. Tenzin and all the other adults seemed to be present as well, doing their best to aid the civilians hurt in the explosion.

There was someone missing, though. Her niece.

She ran over to the group and pulled Jinora aside, assuming she’d have been with Opal just before the blast. Jinora looked up at her and answered before the question left her lips.

“She flew in right before the explosion. She thought she could contain it, or at least direct it up. I tried to stop her, and I have no idea where she is now…” Jinora had tears streaming down her face as she shook her head.

Lin pulled the girl into a short hug before turning back to the centre of destruction. She glanced back at Jinora.

“I’ll find her. She’ll be alright,” She gave a sad but reassuring smile to the air bender before stalking into the rubble.

Once she was a reasonable distance in, Lin bent the metal from her foot and brought it down hard on the concrete slab she stood on. She focused on the vibrations leaving her foot and dancing out across the earthen materials, searching for any sign of Opal. There was nothing. She bent her shoe back on and walked further into the rubble, the jagged rocks becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. Almost to the centre of the explosion now, she repeated her earlier attempt.

This time, she felt a form on top of a cluster of rocks nearby. She ran towards it, feeling for a heartbeat as she did. She reached the spot she’d sensed the body at and started frantically searching again, looking for signs of the red and yellow uniform Opal wore. She brought her foot down again to get a more accurate picture of where she was.

Lin pinpointed her niece among the rubble and began bending concrete away from her, desperately trying to get her out. She spotted a hint of red and redoubled her efforts, clearing everything from on top of the young girl quickly. She fell to her knees at Opal’s side, gently bringing her head into her lap.

“Please, please be alright,” Lin whispered to herself, panting with her efforts.

She held herself as still as she could, watching her niece for signs of life. She let out a huge sigh when Opal stirred under her, a gasp and small cough escaping her throat. Lin brushed the hair out of her face and she groaned.

“Opal, it’s Lin. Can you hear me?” Opal furrowed her brow and tried to open her eyes, but groaned again and let them fall closed when the effort was too much.

“Shh, it’s alright. I’ve got you,” Lin stroked her niece’s hair and glanced around her. “Just breathe, okay?”

Opal nodded weakly at her aunt, eyes remaining closed. Lin continued to pet Opal’s hair as she looked for someone to help. She saw several people beginning to comb through the rubble for any trapped survivors, though none of them were close enough to hear her yet. Instead of trying to call out to any of them, she focused everything she had on hurling a nearby slab into the air and suspending it. She could only hope someone noticed it and knew it was a signal for help.

Lin didn’t know how long it was before help came. It felt like hours of sitting there, checking every few minutes that Opal was still breathing while straining to keep the slab in the air. It was Korra who finally came to their aid, first helping Lin lower the slab and then turning her attention to Opal.

There wasn’t any water nearby, at least none that Korra had access to without hurting another person, so she couldn’t heal her on the spot. Instead, she helped Lin pick up a sleeping Opal as delicately as they could. Lin held Opal under her shoulders, her head resting on Lin's chest, while Korra supported her legs. They carried her slowly back to the darkening area where a small camp had been set up for the injured, the only sounds being those of their heavy breathing and an occasional whimper of pain from Opal.

They set her down on one of the makeshift beds that had been bent out of rock by Bolin and the other earthbenders, each looking around for either some water or another healer. Korra found a bowl of water a few beds over, but was shooed away by Kya.

“They need you out there, looking for people. I’ve got the healing station covered,” Kya insisted, to which Korra nodded.

Kya made her way over to Opal’s bed with the water and kneeled on her left. She glanced up at Lin, who was fidgeting and looking around nervously.

“Lin, sit. I know she’d appreciate you being with her when she wakes up,” Kya turned her attention back to Opal, bringing the water to her.

Lin took Kya’s advice and sat opposite the waterbender, taking Opal’s hand in her own. She stayed as Kya worked her way down Opal’s body, healing each broken bone, ripped tissue, burst blood vessel, and any other physical injury she found. It took longer than Lin had expected, and she fell asleep twice at Opal’s side. Kya took a few breaks too, exhaustion from focus overwhelming her and forcing her to stop to maintain the quality of her healing. It was almost morning when she’d finished.

Opal’s eyelids fluttered not long after Kya had taken off for the night. Her hand tightened almost imperceptibly around Lin’s, but it was enough for the earthbender to become alert again. She watched silently as Opal opened her eyes fully and sat up, twisting to stretch out her sore back. Once she was comfortable and less stiff, she looked at her aunt sitting on the ground below her.

“Thank you,” Opal said, voice raspy with dust and dryness.

She tried to clear her throat and started coughing, to which Lin untangled their hands and patted harshly on Opal’s back. The coughing fit lasted for a solid few minutes, and Opal had tears in her eyes when she calmed down and could breathe again. Lin switched to rubbing her back more gently, watching every twist of her niece’s face for signs of pain or anything of the sort.

“What happened back there?” Lin asked when it seemed Opal was doing alright.

Opal shook her head and let a tear trace slowly down her cheek before answering.

“I just…” She took in a deep but shaky breath. “I wanted to protect you, and my siblings, and Jinora and Ikki and… I thought I could do it, I really did.”

Lin got up from the ground and sat next to Opal on the cot. She let Opal sink into her arms, hugging her tightly as she cried.

“I’m sorry, Aunt Lin, I’m so sorry,” Opal sobbed against Lin’s metal armour, not bothered by the cold, hard material in the least.

Lin said nothing, deeming it best to simply hold her niece and listen to her, a solid support rather than a coach or teacher. Opal didn’t say it, but she was intensely glad Lin was there, and played the role she did. Lin was, in that moment, exactly who she needed, and something in her told her that in some way Lin needed that too. She made a vow in her mind to seek out her aunt more often, even if all they did was sit silently with tea at a cafe together. Lin would like that, she thought, simple company if nothing else. When the time came later and she followed through on her vow, she found that her assumptions had been correct. Lin found herself caring more for her niece than she had planned to, though she grew less and less opposed to the idea of it as time went on.
