WHO: Princess Azula
WHAT: Fire Princess in Kansas
WHEN: 24th June Night
WHERE: Downtown Lawrence
RATING: TBD
STATUS: IN Progress

She hated her confinment, hated it with every fibre of her being, but still she was in a better positon than her father. She could still firebend. Zuzu hadn't yet been so callous as to take that gift from her. She would have, in his position with the Avatar as his friend, she'd have had him stripped him of his powers faster than he could think.

But her brother, the merciful new Lord of the Fire Nation had decided to try and help her. He would allow her visitors sometimes, the traitors her old friends. Mai who had loved him so always, loved him enough to betray her, what was it she had said, something about loving him more than she had feared her.

How foolish.

She didn't like to talk to her brother. Or any of them, content to sit, and plan for the day, and oh there would come a day when a mistake would be made and she would escape. And then she would make them suffer all on her own. The Waterbender and her brother first.

"You were weak to let me live Zuzu" she muttered, "Weak like Mother was weak", she reclined on her bed, a small flame dancing on the palm of her hand. She had long since stopped trying to burn her way out, it had prooved pointless and irritating both to her and her captors and she had not managed to escape.

"Ugh!" she exclaimed the sliver of flame in her palm rising and falling to match her irritation.

But it got bigger than she expected.

Azula looked around and immidiately fell into a combat stance, she was not in her room at the Institution anymore, not even in the Fire Nation from what she could tell.

Where was she? What was this?

Her eyes narrowed as the Princess and rightful Fire Lord took in her surroundings. Buildings too large even to have been built by the best the Earthbenders could do, metal...things that made hidious offending noises as she glared at them.

And people...many people, in strange attire. Azula grabbed one by the arm who turned to her spouting off a strange list of obcenities she had never heard uttered in her life.

"Stop talking!" she ordered, He didn't, so she tried again "Cease your prattle..." It wasn't working. "NOW!"

"HEY! You don't just get to grab me and...."

"You will tell me where I am, Did my brother do this?" she insisted.

"You're in America...Lawrence Kansas......jeez you break out of the mental hospital early or something"

Azula's lips curled into a dangerous sneer "Actually yes...somehow?" she conceeded and regarded the man, her grip suprisingly strong for a woman of her age. Him she would let live, no sense being wasteful. But she would mark him.

The Jet of flame caught his other arm, it would burn him, mar him like Zuzu had been marred by their father. It would serve as a reminder to him and maybe he would tell people. This done, his screams amusing her, Azula released the man. He didn't need to know her name, not yet. People would know it in time.

Whatever this place was with its metal carts and strange obcene men, she would discover why she had been brought here, and would discover a way back to the Fire Nation to face her brother without the insuffrable little peasent there to save him from her. A true Agni Kai and then she would take the throne as was right.

But first she had much to discover of this world.

Paige didn't immediately answer Azula's questions. Instead all she said was, "Brace yourself." Looking both at the woman, than the man in turn. Before looking around. No one else around except for them, Paige orbed them to an alley close to a hospital. Paige had made it her responsibility to find out the closest police stations, hospitals, even social worker agencies were in the vicinity of Lawrence. Then she looked for the best easy orbing access, for whatever was safer. Without Leo and Darryl around to help her out with healing or the law, Paige quickly took matters in her own hands and formed methods around not having the two men she considered as brothers (and helped her out with so many different things) around to help her out when she was in a fix.

"Come on." She said to the man. "You need to stand up." There was no way she'd be able to yank him up. Years as a Charmed One, witch and whitelighter combo had made her stronger and given her some definite muscle but there was no way with her 5'4" stature and small frame would she be able to do so without some help. She wasn't about to ask Azula for help. When the man stood, she said, "You can lean on me." However, he refused, pride obvious and cradled his arm against him.

Instead of giving into the need to roll her eyes, Paige instead took it as a sign that he was going to be okay. Or as okay as he could be considering his injuries. Turning to look at Azula, Paige answered, "My name is Paige Matthews and I'm helping because you need my help." It was as simple as that to her. "Now are you coming along?" The other option was for Azula to wait, but Paige didn't like that idea. The walk wasn't too far from the hospital.

Azula was spooked to say the least. The girl had used some magic and she...moved her. Somehow, actually physically moved them from place to place and Azula was more than a little spooked. She didn't like it, not one bit of it. And the man was too worried about his arm to pretty much even notice what had just happened.

"Paige" she repeated "You're helping a woman that I can tell you don't trust. You think I'm...cruel. And now you facinate me as it happens, You have a power I've never seen before. So when you placte the rude man you will explain to me what you are and how you got us here."

Demand made Azula followed Paige, the girl knowing where they were give her a leg up on Azula. And Azula didn't like the feeling. Not at all.

Paige didn't stop herself from rolling her eyes. "Right. Explain to you. After I placate the rude man, I'll tell you what I know and what I can do."

She lead her strange little entourage to the emergency entrance. "Can somebody help us please!" She knew Emergency decorum. If you could even call it that. She had been a social worker and now she was a Charmed One. People needed their rest but sometimes you had to make yourself known, or else you would get looked over. There was a bustle. It could have been busier but it was busy enough that they would get over look. And a burn that bad needed immediate attention. Which was quickly proven as someone rushed towards them.

"What happened? How -- "

Paige cut the man off, "I found him in an allyway. I have no idea how it happened, but he needs medical attention. Now." Paige lied expertly and her now seemed to carry the words of 'there are no time for questions right now'.

"I know. Of course" The man, doctor, lead the injured man to a wheelchair. And the injured man looked first at Azula and then at Paige. The doctor's gaze followed his but Paige didn't look back at Azula. Instead giving the man a reassuring smile.

"Wait right here." The doctor said. "I need to ask you some questions."

Paige, this time, held onto her need to roll her eyes.
"Of course. We'll stay as long as you need us to." Watching them as they wheeled away, Paige turned back to Azula. "You have some questions? Let's here them." The woman was right. Paige had this instinct ... that she was cruel. As much as Paige didn't want to jump to conclusions, her instincts never steered her wrong. Which was why Paige wasn't going to ramble on with info, and would instead let Azula ask. And she would measure how much or how little came out of her own mouth.

Now SHE was being insolent. But Azula stayed her flames. It seemed she needed the girl. Needed to understand this place, and the most basic of needs, Needed somewhere to stay. If the girl refused then Azula would find her own way. Hurt to get what she needed. Use fear. It really was all she knew, for a valid reason. It was how things had always been.

This hospital was like nothing she had ever seen, strange machines beeped at her and Azula watched in morbid facination, jumping occasionally as people whizzed past her, and finally calming enough to return the mans gaze. If he thought she was sorry then he was so dreadfully wrong. They wheeled him away, she supposed to treat his burns and Paige turned to her.

"Oh we won't stay will we? How tiresome" she said trying to hold back on a yawn. But asking her questions nonetheless. And she had quite a number of them, a fact that should have suprised no one.

"Where is this place, with metal demons and strange noises. WHY is what I did so offensive to you?. What is the manner of my coming here?, What do you intend to do with me now that I am here and seemingly have committed a crime. At home I am Princess of the Fire Nation and commit no crimes because my word is law"

Okay that wasn't strictly true. Zuko had given her a list of her crimes, her cruelty he said. She wasn't cruel. She was efficiant. And she had every right to act as she did. Every right.

"What am I to do now?, Where am I to go?, How might I return to the Fire Nation?. Is bending illegal here?"

She thought about what she had said and finally nodded resolutely. That would do to be getting on with. She crossed her arms expecting answers, demanding them.

"We'll stay." Paige's tone was firm. "I want to make sure he's alright and the doctor wants to talk to me." She was saying it all for Azula's benefit, a reason but it was obvious that Paige wasn't going to argue about it. They were staying.

Paige sighed at Azula's questions. Where to begin. "I'm not sure when or where you're from, but you're in Lawrence, Kansas. It's a country in the United States." Watching Azula carefully, Paige said, "But I'm going to guess by your mention of the fire nation that that means nothing to you." She waited for the other woman to answer.
