Life Will Change

People talk about having one bad day. Pfft try my life.

I never had just one bad day. No my life is made up of a string of bad days. But two days stand out more than the others. It started when I was 3 or 4, I have trouble remembering clearly the events but I'll always remember the outcome. When I was 4, remember the water pipe burst randomly burst in my room, a couple days later an earthquake shook the house.

Later a curtain caught fire when I was near it. My "parents" took notice, they were confused, frustrated, but most of all angry. They were especially frightened when I told them I heard voices when I was alone. I guess that was all it took, because after that night I never saw them again.

I waited for them and they never came back for me. The neighbors got suspicious and found me alone. That is when the real hell began. I was entered in to Child Protective Services to "help find me a better family", but what if I didn't want another family. The hell that the older kids put me through for 13 years as I grew up, to the point I snapped and ran away.

It was rough on the streets but then I reminded myself that it's New York, every where here is rough. For a time it was good, I was making it through school rather well I might add. I learned how to get around better through free running or parkour, whatever you call it. Then life had to put me back in my place and remind me of who I was, the punchline of its joke.

Only thing I cared about was the old man of a gym that taught me hand to hand self-defense along with nunchaku training. I started learning from him before I went to live in Crime Alley. Guess he felt bad for me or something and didn't want me getting killed or hurt. Too late for that last one. He never gave me his name just told me to call him sir. I started to call him Sticks as a nod to how he looked like a fragile old man. Note He looked fragile but that old man was inhuman sometimes.

After the incident I started living in Crime Alley, one of the more secluded areas of the city due to the level of crime in the area. The nightmares were horrible and recently things have been weird.

Less people came through than normal. Things were changing and it was scaring me.

"RETURN...BALANCE...DISTORTED...MUST RETURN BALANCE...AVATAR."

The female broke the silence of my blank dream, before I saw people I've never seen before in places I've never seen before. I saw events that would like natural disasters to me but to the people in my dream made it look like everyday occurrences.

The best description of my feelings during this is an odd… connection or deja-vu. But as soon as it started the dream ended and with it I woke up.

POV Change- 3rd

In a back alley, sat a teenage boy asleep. He snaps wake panting and breathing hard like he was underwater for a lengthy period of time. He checks his body over looking for injuries or missing items he had on him when he went to sleep.

"Fuck. What happened and where the hell am I?", He croaked as he got up, his dark brown hair in eyes before wiping them to the side before checking his through his blue jacket for anything before reaching down to his loose jean pockets. There he finds his phone but it doesn't turn on.

"Alright Drew, just what the hell have you got yourself into now?", whispered the now named, Drew to himself as he stands up to his full height of 5'11, while stand in his beat up red sneakers..

POV Change- Drew

"Great, just great. I wonder if I'm still in Queens, at least I hope I am." I think out loud as I follow the sound of the bustling city. As I make my way to the noise I remember my dream and ponder it's meaning and how the people.

After I make my way out of the alley, I begin to take better notice of my surroundings especially the fact that the buildings and signs look like their from Chinatown, but the way people dress here don't match up at all. Once I got out on the street, I was shell shocked by the sight of what looked like 1920's or 30's era cars and inventions.

I fail to notice a car come to a screeching halt and the driver yelling at me

"move it you stooge before I light yer ass on fire!"

After that I start running hoping that this is all a weird dream. People watch and stare as I run getting more stressed out. Soon I come along to a bay with a statue, but it isn't the Statue of Liberty.

The statue in the bay looked to be a bald man, or kid with monk clothes and a staff with a foot propped up on a base of the statue. Near the statue was an island of

The shock from seeing all the new sights finally got to me and I leaned on the rail and vomited.

After I stop throwing my heart up the voice from my dream returned making me jump.

"SEARCH...KORRA...AVATAR...HELP."

Who the hell is Korra? Man just when I thought life couldn't suck anymore than it already did. Now the voices are coming.

'No no no no not again stop thinking about them. They aren't real, they aren't real.'

After getting through my mental breakdown I decide it's time to figure out the name of the city I'm in.

I flag down a random passerby to ask him where I ended up.

"Hey buddy, do you know where I am?"

"You kidding, this is Republic City now scram brat." He answers harshly before bumping past me.

Well the city might be called Republic City but that guy acted like a true New Yorker. I keep walking think of the events that occurred so far looking as I kinda didn't have no where to go.

"You there yes you! Are you tired of being oppressed by benders?" I hear the screech of a megaphone while I was making my way a round as night started to fall.

"Uh, me?" I point at myself as a the owner of the megaphone, as medium height man with a short fu man chu mustache pointed at me while a crowd around him stares at me. Behind him is a banner with Chinese character and mask with a red circle on his forehead.

"Yes you. You look like a foreigner, tell me have you ever been oppressed by a Bender my young friend?"

"Whats a bender?", I reply shrugging kind of confused.

"Ha ha ha, good one my young friend, but seriously have you ever been abused or pushed around by a bender?", as he wipes a tear from his eye from laughing at my question along as his audience laughs with him.

"….."

"You're serious? What have you been living under a rock or something kid." I nod at his question getting an exasperated sigh from the skinny man.

"Look kid I don't have time for wise types like you, so beat it. I bet you're a bender lover and you here to make me look stupid aren't you?" he accused, irking me a bit.

I snap back "You already look stupid man. Like I said I don't know what a bender is, so don't put words in my mouth."

I walk off as he continues to his whole "Anti-Bender" agenda.

I make my way a couple streets over before getting cut off but a white blur getting knocked down on my butt.

I look for the blur to see a large white dog or Polar bear with a girl and guy on the saddle.

"Sorry!" said the girl in blue with a wolf tails hairstyle. But before I could say something they were gone.

'What the hell type of animal was that?" Something felt odd about that girl for some reason, but I just can't put my finger on it.

As I walk further I hear a commotion of yelling and pleading.

"Please stop this! I can have the money next week please!" cried out a shop keeper

"Sorry Mister Botan you're behind on your protection payments. We won't be able to keep you fine shop safe, but I guess we can come to a compromise for our services in exchange for your dame of a daughter." replied an averaged build man in a brown trench coat with a red under shirt and loose dress pants.

First day in this city and I'm already about to piss someone off. Now that's checked off the To-Do list.

"Come on man, leave em alone." I call to the gangster catching his attention as I walk up to him.

People stare at me wide-eyed as I close the gap between me and him. Looking him in his eyes after getting closer.

"Look brat, stay out of this before I send you back home to yer mamma.", he taunted as he got a smirk on his face, not knowing what kind of bomb he just set off.

I throw a jab at his face, knocking him back a little as he gets up smirking before getting back up smirking.

He reels back his fist before shooting forward with a burst of fire. I barely dodge it with it nicking my jacket a little, leaving a burn mark.

I stare wide eyed at what I just saw.

"Oh shit."

He tries to capitalize on my stupor by delivering a kick of fire curving towards me.

Before getting hit, my body moves on it's own lowering down clasping my hands together and separating the fire. Dispersing the fire in a circular motion.

And not missing a beat I stomp my foot down before raising my palms facing up making a slab of the street pop up under him, while tipping a car over that was half way on the slab. The guy obviously did see that come as a part of the slab knocked him in his chin putting him down for the count. But before he went down the gangster shot of a rogue flame out towards bystanders gawking at the fight.

I bring my hands to my chest before I moved my arms in a wave motion summoning some water from a near by barrel. I then proceed to twirl with my arms out counter clockwise making the water rotate around me and shoot it out towards the fire extinguishing it before it hurt anyone.

The events of the fight between me and the gangster caused the gathered crowd to whisper and gasp at what they've seen.

"Did he just bend 3 elements?!"

"I thought the Avatar was a girl not a boy?"

"Mommy look its the Avatar!"

"I thought only the Avatar could bend more than one of the elements."

"Isn't the Avatar that girl Korra?"

Through out all the murmurs and whispering there was two constant words, those being Avatar and Korra. Both of those words were said by the voice from my dream.

I'm broken from my thoughts by the sound of sirens. I look up to the source of the noise to see airships with their flood lights aligned on me. Before long cables dropped down from the blimps as people in black and gray uniforms with metal on the arms, slide down to street level.

The look at the damage down by the fight like the car turned over, the street torn up along with some broken glass from a shop or two. They pick up the gangster from the ground and cuff him. One of the uniformed men walks up to me, but whatever he's saying I tune out.

'What the hell am I!' the thoughts turn into memories of my house and the weird events that surrounded me along with the voices.

'No, not again! Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!' I started running not looking back as the officers yell for me to stop.

POV Change- 3rd

Drew takes off running with the Republic City Police on his tail with the airships' flood lights following as best they can in the many alleys.

Drew runs up on a fence and hops over it while the Police metal bend the fence out of their way.

He hops up a wall before wall jumping off on to a fire escape leading to the roof.

Once on the roof Drew picks up speed before jumping to a smaller building across the alley.

"Freak!? Freak!? Damn!" he wheezes after rolling on the roof after landing.

He starts to get up, but falls back down before his eyes start to shut, passing out from the events of the day and the lose of adrenaline. The last thing he sees before blacking out was the lights from the airships.

Air Temple Island

Korra just told Tenzin about the events that happened at the Equalist rally. Before they could finish their conversation Officer Saikhan, one of Chief Beifong's underlings approached them.

"Councilman Tenzin. Avatar Korra, I need you both to come with me down to the station. We have an incident only you two can explain."

"I haven't done anything to get on her nerves since the last time I saw her.", Korra yelled before Tenzin put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"What seems to be the problem Saikhan?"

"Earlier this evening, there was an altercation between a member of the Agni Kai triad and teenage boy in the shopping district."

"So? What does that have to do with me and Tenzin?"

Saikhan looks to Korra annoyingly before returning his gaze to Tenzin.

"Everyone of the witnesses of the fight claimed that the Teenage boy used earth, fire, and water bending techniques to fight the triad member. ", finished Saikhan as both, Tenzin and Korra look at each other with expressions of shock and disbelief.

"We must go this instant." said Tenzin as he and Saikhan with Korra close behind going to the ferry to the city not knowing what more bombshells would await them.

Republic City Police Department Headquarters

POV Change- Drew

I was reliving hell. Feeling the pain of his blows. The Sound of his laughter at my pain.

The lowest point in my life so far and every time it gets worse.

I see the light before he utters the last words he told me.

"Because I could."

"AARGGH!", my cry fills the room as I return to consciousness from my nightmare. I try to get up my hands are cuffed to the table. I try to yank it a couple times in before calming down from my adrenaline spike.

I sit back down breathing heavily. Not a second later a woman in the uniform of the police from comes in through a metal, automatic door.

She slaps down a file on the table before sitting down in front of me.

"I'll cut right to the chase kid, we have no information on you whatsoever. No birth certificate, no family connections, nor any previous history in the city. Today you fought a triad member knocking him out by using fire, earth, and water bending. In the process you destroy a satomobile, destroyed a good chunk of the street with your earthbending, and some chunks the street went into a shop destroying the windows and its products."

She takes a break from reading off the report and stares at me sternly before continuing,

"You then lead my officers on a foot chase for 2 blocks, before heading to the rooftops jumping to another rooftop before passing out. The charges you looking at is destruction of public property and evading arrest. So give me your name and your side of the story so we can get this finished up before your guests get here."

She finished her tirade setting her papers to the side before looking at me expectantly.

"My name is Michael...wait guests?" I start before wondering how I'm gonna explain the story of my day.

"Well? I don't have all night and neither do you." she says impatiently.

"I'm sorry miss…?"

"Chief Beifong." she states coolly.

"Right. I'm sorry Chief Beifong, today is kinda my first day and I'll admit- I've never heard of this place before. You See I'm from New York City and-" I'm interrupted by the Chief.

"New York City? Doesn't exist."

"What!? Th-That's impossible I grew up there I-I mean!" I start flipping out. This women just told New York doesn't exist.

"Okay we'll come back to that later, now tell me how long have you known you could bend three of the four elements?"

"That's the thing, that was my first time doing any of that..bending you called it. I never done it before." before she could comment, a low ranking officer stepped in.

"Hey Chief, Councilman Tenzin is here wi-" "Send him in."

A few moment later a bearded man stepped through the door.

He was wearing a red and orange robe or poncho. On his bald head was a blue arrow tattoo.

"Lin, you're looking quite-" "Save it Tenzin I need you and the Avatar to come talk to him because I'm coming up with squat." She said getting up walking past the now named Tenzin.

As Chief Beifong walks out she stops to stare at some one before they stepped through.

A tan girl with brown hair in a familiar wolf tail style with to banded hair ornaments in two separate bangs wearing a light blue shirt with blue snow pants and brown boots comes in after the chief. Her blue eyes reminds me clear water. Wait a sec she seems famil- she's that girl riding that giant animal earlier before I got into all of this but what is she doing here.

The door shuts behind her as she stands behind Tenzin as he takes the seat Beifong sat in.

"Hello young man, I am Councilman Tenzin and this is Avatar Korra.", He introduces himself and Avat…

Oh my god. She's Korra, she's who the voice was talking about along with the witnesses to my fight. I sit wide eyed trying to piece everything together, I guess I was starting worry my visitors.

"Uh, young man are you ok?", Tenzin asks, worry evident in his voice.

"I'm sorry spaced out for a moment, Hello my name is Michael.", I say smiling wryly at him as Korra looks at me with judging eyes.

"Now I heard you had a rough day, mind talking about it with us?"

"Yes sure, uh well I guess I woke up about noon in a back alley not knowing where I was-"

"Excuse me, but how do you wake up not know where you are?" Korra asked interrupting me.

"Well seeing as last night I went to sleep in an abandoned building in New York City with a voice in my dream telling me 'Return Balance Distorted Must Return Balance Avatar', while seeing people I've never seen before doing this bending stuff I've been hearing about. Then waking up to a city I've never seen or heard of before. Oh and you know just finding out that my home doesn't even exist, so yeah I guess Its very easy for me to wake up not knowing where I am." I say blankly.

Both of them look at each other with questioning expressions.

"Okay now lets move onto you're encounter with the triad member this evening, what happened?"

"That guy he was trying to squeeze some money out of a shopkeeper, before threatening to take his daughter to pay off his debt. Oh before I go further with this I just want to say, slick steering on whatever animal you were riding on Avatar Korra, really knocked the wind out of me with that one." I say leaning to get Korra into view.

"Oh my bad about that, my friend was in trouble." the tan girl says nervously.

"Well can't say I know how that feels." I say before returning to my account of the fight, while frowns at my comment.

"Where was I, oh yeah. So I tell the triad to leave the man alone, we exchange words he says something he shouldn't have said. I throw a punch, he punches fire at me and before it I dodged but my jacket got little burnt, he then kicked some more fire at but this time my body moved on its on. I some how dispersed the fire before raising a slab of the street to knock the guy out, but not before a stray fire ball was shot off at the bystanders. I then somehow took some water from a barrel nearby putting the rogue fire out. Cops came I ran, now I'm here talking to you two." I say finishing up my story as Tenzin looks as though he's in deep thought.

"Now tell me, Michael do you know who the Avatar is?" Tenzin asks me in a serious tone

I point towards Korra getting an exasperated sigh from him but a laugh from Korra.

"No, I meant do you what the Avatar is and what they represent?" "Oooh, no not really I've only just heard about it today."

Korra perked before saying, "The Avatar is the master of all four elements and the bridge between man and spirits."

"Well that's a simplified version but yes what Korra said is true. Meaning that if the account of your encounter is true, then that means there are two Avatars."

I kinda go wide eyed at that statement along with Korra.

"Look Tenzin, I think you got the wrong guy, I'm just a kid from Crime Alley. I'm not supposed to amount to anything."

"Well I believe destiny has other plans for you." Tenzin said before getting up but stopped when he saw Korra.

She looked upset before shout, "No I thought I was supposed the only Avatar, I mean I already master three elements. I had to break out of the compound just see the world and to finish my training with you. Now this guy comes in and is a second Avatar. I trained all my life for this now this happens."

She stomps off out of the room while Tenzin sighs.

"I'm sorry about that she's just so headstrong it hard for her to change her view on things."

"I don't blame her. I'd be upset too if I was her. So what now?

"Now I get you out of here and back to the island but first lets test something.", Tenzin says as he un-cuffed me from the table.

"Now try bending any element."

I look at him crazy for a sec before going for it. I mean what could go wrong?

I point my self towards the corner trying to regain the feeling I had when I fought the triad member. My hand starts to feel weird before I make a jab and with it produced fire.

I look towards Tenzin, who nods before getting a cup of water from outside the door and puts it on the table.

"Now try to bend the water in this cup." I do as he says and focus on the water before raising my hands up from my sides making the water rise before I turn but lose focus on the water and it drops to the floor.

Tenzin now officially in shock, "Its true you are the second Avatar. Stay here I'm going to go talk to Lin and get you out of here. Then I must contact the White Lotus elders."

'Fuck.' I think to myself as he walks out the door leaving me alone in the interrogation room wondering what in the hell I have actual got myself into now.

Guess life did change after all just not in the way I thought.
