A/N: Here's another story I recently wrote.

Air 1.1

I sat down at the kitchen table and began to play with my scrambled eggs. I was tired, exhausted really, and even though I should have felt hungry, the food didn't look appetizing.

'We could fix the tiredness,' Claire supplied, 'it wouldn't be hard.'

'We can't do that Claire, remember we kept that secret,' Korra said. If we aren't careful they'll find out.'

'And if Carol finds out Amelia has a power like that, she'll totally flip out,' Han added.

'Especially since we've kept it secret for years now,' Rai commented.

I sighed and lifted a forkful of scrambled egg into my mouth and chewed mechanically. They were right that I could have used the power I inherited from my father to fix myself up, but it had been a late night for New Wave, and with Carol's constant, coldly suspicious contempt I couldn't risk anything that would be too strange, like suddenly becoming impossible to tire or being able to start earthquakes or throw cars.

It's ironic that in a family organization of capes with public identities, I'd need to hide the full extent of my powers, or have a 'secret' identity.

My name is Amy Dallon, and I am Aerodyne, a cape with the power to control gases.

"Morning Ames," I heard a familiar voice say as arms wrapped around me from behind. I turned to look at my adoptive sister, Victoria, and smiled, feeling happier just from seeing her. "I didn't expect to see you up already, especially after last night."

I shrugged. "I wanted to get started on the day." By growing a new biological helmet.

Worry marred her face. "Well it's good to know you're okay after that hit from Purity."

'Yeah, that one looked like it hurt,' Korra said.

"So am I," I agreed.

Victoria nodded and walked over to where Carol had left the scrambled eggs in the skillet.

'Eyes in front!' Korra ordered and I snapped my eyes back to my plate fighting down a blush.

'Chill, Korra,' Han said. 'I mean it's not like it's her fault who she likes, and honestly you shouldn't be one to throw stones.'

'Excuse me?'

'I can see our memories, so I know all about your failure of a love life. Seriously, Mako? What about dark, brooding and wooden appealed so much to you? Was it the personality? Because if so, I have to say that I've met cardboard cutouts with more dynamic personalities.'

I stifled a giggle as Korra cried out in ingination. 'My love life's bad?! What about yours, you crass crettin!'

I froze as I saw Carol's cold eyes locked on mine. "What's so funny?" she asked.

"Uh…j-just thinking about someone I know," I stammered as I looked away from her bruised face and tuned out the background conversation.

The others had told me not to reveal the full extent of my powers to the rest of New Wave because of how dangerous it was. Ever since Rai had pointed out the distant suspicion Carol always treated me with, I'd never been able to avoid seeing it in her face whenever she looked at me. It was like she was waiting for me to turn out to have been a villain the whole time, and that was with her only knowing about my power over air. I didn't want to think about what she'd do if she ever found about the fact I was effectively an S-class threat with my powers.

Even if it meant hiding the fact I could heal people.

'Don't worry about it, Amelia,' Claire said, 'remember we've got plans for that! I can't wait to try it out!'

'Yeah, don't worry about it, either it'll work as well as the bug armor or it'll backfire horribly and kill lots of people,' Han added.

'Thanks for the encouragement,' I replied sarcastically.

"Anyone I know?" Vicky asked as she sat down at the table next to me. I noticed Carol's frown deepen momentarily at the sight before she returned to eating as well.

"Uh…no, you haven't met them as far a-as I know," I said.

'Technically she has,' Rai commented.

"Oh, well do mind sharing?" Vicky asked before taking a forkful of scrambled eggs.

'Me included!' Claire chimed in.

"Well…okay," I said, unable to resist Victoria's natural charm.

'There are worse weaknesses to have,' Han commented.

'He knows, he had them,' Korra retorted.

'Ouch.'

"He was talking about another…person I know, and he said that she had worse taste than…uh…" Vicky looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. "…someone else I know."

'Smooth.'

'Shut up Han.'

"Oh?" she asked inquisitively.

"Y-yeah, he said her boyfriend had less personality than a cardboard cutout," I said before shoveling more egg into my mouth.

'It's only the truth.'

'Don't make me get the newspaper.'

Vicky made a cute smirk. "And what about this other 'person you know?' How about them?"

'What newspaper, we're dead!'

I started choking on the eggs I just swallowed.

'Whelp, that was quick.'

'Not helping Han.'

'Shut up and let her concentrate!' Rai snapped as I started manipulating the air in my lungs and esophagus to force the eggs back out of my airway. I swallowed as Vicky patted me on the back with her face a mixture of amusement and concern.

'Kiss her!'

I blushed and looked at the floor, trying to hide it.

'I swear Han, I will find a newspaper here, and I will beat you to death with it, if you don't stop.'

"Um, anyway, I was going to go by the library before school started," I said to distract her, and my self.

"Again?" Vicky asked. "You've been going there a lot."

I shrug, still looking at the floor. "Just picking up a few books, and dropping some off."

'I don't think Carol buys it.'

"Okay, well I guess we can make it if we go now."

"Thanks," I said as I got up.

"No problem Ames," she said as she finished off her plate. "I'll be ready in a few."

"Okay, I'll get my stuff together now," I tell her as I clear my dishes of the leftovers I wasn't going to eat and put the dishes in the dishwasher. I then leave for my room to pack up, feeling Carol's eyes on me until I was out of sight.

A few minutes later and the two of us were ready to go. We walked outside and Vicky wrapped her arms around my abdomen to hold my up in the air.

"Ready, Ames?" Victoria asked.

"Yes," I replied, gripping her arms firmly as she lifted off. As I touched her skin, every cell in her body unfolded in my mind.

'Can we go the Graveyard after school and finish our underwater lair?' Claire asked.

'I've always wanted a secret lair,' Han added as we lifted off.

'You already had one and broke it,' Rai said.

'Hey! That totally wasn't my fault!'

'Yes it was,' Korra retorted.

My name is Amelia Claire Lavere, and I am the Avatar.

+AA+

A/N: I'm not sure how good the characterization and the writing are. Please let me know how I can improve them.

Carol is suspicious of Amelia.

The past lives are trying to help out, and have been for years.

Claire just wants to have experiment and have fun.
