Drabbles: Steps Toward Becoming (PG; AtLA)
PG; Avatar: the Last Airbender. Reaction drabbles #11. Through 3.5 "The Beach".
Pursuing Justice
Katara strokes red powder in swift lines across her skin, assembling her disguise with careful brushes of fingertips.
Tonight, she isn't acting as the Avatar's teacher, the Chief's daughter, Sokka's sister, or any other role derived from someone else's importance. She's chosen this course on her own-- a thought that floods her with both nervousness and anticipation.
This is something that needs doing, despite the others' refusal to help. How can they hope to save the whole world if they ignore the sufferings of its people?
She certainly can't. So the 'Painted Lady' will just have to act without them.
Pursuing Power
Azula narrows her eyes at the embers of her family's portrait.
She'd hoped, when Zuko turned to her under Ba Sing Se, that he had finally learned the lesson their father tried to teach him three years before. That he was ready to embrace reality, instead of sabotaging himself with their uncle's soft-headed ideals. But alas, it seems he's just as foolish as ever.
No matter. He still has his uses. And she has the resolve to do what must be done.
She is the perfect heir to their father's throne. Let Zuko whine. He'll acknowledge the truth, soon enough.

And then Azula, staring at the family that was broken. I love the idea that she saw Zuko's fight for the army (his version of Katara standing up for the people) as self-sabotage and foolishness.
