Literal Joke

starter for @water-bending-queen​

it was routine for Zuko to return home and come home to take a shower. It broke the monotony of being around food after dealing with it all day (and even if he was hungry, he desperately needed that break from cooking something) and just helped him to relax. The patter of water against his face helped to clear his mind while the steam from a very very hot shower soothed his nerves.

Zuko ran his hands through his hair, rinsing the rest of the shampoo from the strands. Through his distraction of a comforting shower, Zuko had missed the door to his bathroom open. And he missed the shadow that approached the shower. He only became alert when the curtain pulled back.

“What the-” His words were cut off as the stranger swiped at him, the knife connecting with the skin just above his hip. Zuko winced as he quickly turned towards the assailant, feet slipping on the wet plastic of the shower’s floor. His hand reached out as he fell, tearing down the curtain as he crashed into the shower’s tub.

Steam swirled around Zuko’s mind, and the shock of a surprise assailant had his golden eyes struggling to see straight. Droplets of crimson blood dripped from his side and mixed with the falling water, turning it pink as it swirled down the drain. His emotions got the best of him, and Zuko exhaled deeply. But when flames didn’t shoot from his mouth, he knew something was wrong. No, he thought. Concentrate. You’re not done! Hazily he blinked, and his golden eyes widened as he watched the stranger stab forward.

Instinctively Zuko reached forward with the shower curtain clenched between his fists and caught the knife in between the cottony fabric. His eyes widened and he twisted the fabric, causing the knife to fall from the man’s hand and narrowly missing cutting Zuko’s foot. The firebender glanced up for the first time at his assailant and saw the crazed mask he had heard about in the news.

The Killing Joke.

He shoved forward, throwing the shower curtain at the serial killer. “Get out... Get out!” he yelled, finally finding his strength as a blast of fire exploded from his hand. The steam became thicker as heat filled the room, fire crashing against the door frame as The Killing Joke backed out of the room.

Exhaustion of overexertion and the swirling heat finally caused Zuko to lean his head back and take deep breaths.

A Rival Arrival||  Azula & Katara

@water-bending-queen

  Azula wondered why she had to live in this ridiculous and boring world. Where were her servants? Where were her guards? Where were everyone that waited on her every need? She wasn’t use this life and she hated every second of it. At least back at home she could order people to make her food and do things for her. Doing things for herself? What was she? Poor? Unfortunately that was the case when she got here.  However, after much threatening she figured how to at least survive.

  Azula was heading towards her S.S.A towers to do much needed training when she couldn’t help but spot a familiar looking face. She couldn’t help but laugh. “If you’re here that must mean Zuko and the rest of your silly pathetic friends are here too? Am I right?”

Zuko is just there for the ride with @water-bending-queen​

This Killing Joke bastard had been getting on Zuko’s nerves. The last thing Wonderland needed was an individual keeping everyone cooped up in fear. The last thing the firebender needed was the reminder that he had been attacked in the shower. And every time he saw news about this killer, his blood boiled.

So when Katara apparently solved the clues and discovered his location, he couldn’t help but skeptically follow her. He wasn’t going to let her confront this guy alone, even if he didn’t believe that he’d actually be here.

He glanced around at the rides in this apparent “amusement park” and curled his lips. His finger’s flexed by his sides, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. Even if the killer wasn’t here, this place seemed eerie. Was it normally this dead? How was this place considered fun?

“How are you even sure that he’s here? Who would be stupid enough to leave obvious clues about their whereabouts?”

Zuko stared at Katara, his mouth gaping slightly open as he looked between her and the sweatshirt that she was currently wearing. He knew that she was often coming over to his apartment, it only made sense because of how close they had recently got. Bu when exactly did she steal it? Finally his eyes rested back on hers and they narrowed. “I’ve been looking for that.”

His lips pressed together before they audibly popped when he opened his mouth. “Katara.” He said her name slowly, quietly, yet loud enough so she would still hear it. “I will take it back with whatever means are necessary.” Zuko inhaled deeply as he squared his eyes on hers. “And if you don’t get it back, I will be forced to use these means.”

Heavy eyelids betrayed Zuko and he felt them slowly open. At first everything was blurry, and the weight of his lids threatened to lull him away into the stupor of dreamland. But then his sleepy vision focused on the darkened expanse in front of him, and he found himself staring at the familiar furniture within Katara’s apartment. The television’s glow, depicting an image of a bearded man continuously crying “shamwow!”, offered a tiny bit of light in the late hours of the night.

“When did I-?” The firebender attempted to staighten his body as he spoke

Golden eyes stared at the girl, watching the lights dance across Katara’s face, before he softly sighed and gave the tiniest smile. Carefully, he tried to move his arm around Katara, holding his breath as her head rolled from his shoulder toward his chest. Before he knew it, he was wrapping his arm around her shoulders. His fingers flexed, hesitant about the action he just pulled, before they finally relaxed and his palm rested against her bicep.

“It’s okay,” he whispered, the weight of his eyes finally getting the best of him. Zuko’s eyelids shut as his head slowly drooped against Katara’s hair. He was too tired too fix it, dreamland already calling his name. This was comforting, or perhaps he was just too exhausted. “Just- just go back to sleep.”

The captured performance, trapped behind a thin screen in a thin mechanical contraption, had caught Zuko’s attention as he idly watched it with bored anticipation. He had been following the plot for the most part, but he knew that his questions, little nit-picky ones that tore apart the oblivious holes within the plot, were better left unsaid.

If the firebender wasn’t always aware of his surroundings, then he would have missed the girl that had fallen asleep against him. Cool golden eyes continuously glanced at her, momentarily wondering if he should awaken her from her stupor. Every time he decided against it, his attention flickering back to the television so he could continue immersing himself into the program. When the movie ended, he was left alone with his thoughts and a girl still sleeping against him. Again, he considered waking her up, but he realized that her stress might have been causing her indecent nights. So the best he could do was let her sleep.

“It’s fine,” he mumbled. “You obviously needed it, but I’m not letting you know what you missed.” Releasing his breath, he turned his head towards her as he softly smirked, humor lighting up in his eyes. “You should know that you’re very loud when you sleep. Snoring.”
