“Wait!”

God, were people actually this terrified of him?

Zuko had been wandering Ba Sing Se, separated from Team Avatar. The newly appointed Fire-Lord was aiming to blend into the crowds, not drawing attention to himself. But, when he saw you looking at him with such fear in your eyes, he knew his cover was blown.

The man weaved through the sea of people, his eyes trained on you. He couldn’t allow you to blow his cover— so he had to catch you. He had to reason with you, or his mission would fail.

Just when you had thought you’d lost him, the firebender jumped in front of you, pulling you into an alleyway. He put his hand over your mouth, pinning you to the wall.

“Shh. Shh. I’m not going to hurt you.”
