Last Minute Business [Closed]

[governmentninja]

Well. That was a really short vacation. But still a much needed one.

He was well rested and certainly in a much better mood. But he still had about a thousand things to do, and not much time to do it. His priority right now was hunting down the Main Armory... or what he thought was the Main Armory, rather, in Weapons & Possession. That was going to take him a few days.

Before he got to that, though, he had some business regarding some of the prisoners. Lyta Alexander was released to go, and two more, Tim Drake and Katara, were getting ready to be released. However, before he could let those two go, he needed to have a word with them, along with Dick Grayson and Sokka, since there were going to be conditions to their release.

He was patiently waiting in his office for the moment, and was hopeful that this bit of business could be done with quickly.

Sokka nodded slowly, considering.

"Yeah, I understand. We'll make sure everything is fine." He glanced at Katara again.

"There won't be any more problems. I'm sure."

While she hated to agree with someone punishing her, Katara could deal with this ruling. If anything, Leon was telling Sokka to so what her father and Gran-Gran had told him to do anyway: look out for his younger sister. She in turn was still going to be looking out for him too. She didn't like the idea that Sokka would be responsible for her actions, but in truth she didn't think it would matter soon anyway. The Yeerk thing was really going to be second to what was going to happen on the ship soon: she could feel that eveb if Sokka and Leon couldn't.

But chances were Leon DID, and doing this was just a way to make sure it didn't look like he was letting her free because she was a kid. As far as helping this Jean Grey in the med bay as a nurse, well, it would hardly be much of a stretch since she was a healer to begin with. He must have known that from watching her actions when people got injured during the fight for the Yeerk. Really, she could deal with this punishment. As it was, she missed Sokka anyway.

"I understand," Katara said. "And I will do my best to answer to my senior officer when it applies. When I say that, I hope you understand that means I'll act in the best interest of the people on my team, and make sure they have my loyalty in any situation. What it doesn't mean is that I'll blindly do whatever some officer tells me because they're older. I've told you I've been through wars, Leon, and that means, like you, I have to trust my instinct sometimes. But I promise you that you'll never see me act in a fashion rash enough that would jeopardize the people on this ship again. Whatever the security team might think of my actions, they were not to serve my own interests, and they won't in the future either."

Katara sat back down, her face stoic. "On a sidenote...please tell me when the trial decisions of the other prisoners happen. Some of them are my friends."

That little speech got, at best, an eyebrow raise from Leon. Though, strangely, there may have been a hint of a smirk there. Thought that could've just been the lighting. She was close to getting the point, but not quite there. Just a touch too busy being the defiant teenager to really listen yet.

But now wasn't the time to correct her.

"We'll keep you apprised.

"Now, before I let you go, there are a couple of matters I need to discuss with you. For one, your friend Aang.

"I took a look in the Statuary, and didn't find too much. But I'm having someone else look the room over. Billy Kaplan, teenager, kid is good with magic though." Or at least he says. "If there's some kind of mystical connection between Aang and the statues there, I'm hoping that he can find it and track that connection back to Aang. He doesn't know anything specific about Aang or this 'Avatar state' of his, at least nothing beyond what you told me. You might want to have a word with him, fill him in on as much information as you can so he'll have a better idea what to look for."

Sokka nodded slowly, wincing as his sister gave one of her speeches. There was really a time and place for that kind of thing. When you were getting told off by the guy who could throw your butt in jail wasn't one of them though. He straightens in his seat as Leon finishes, though, and gives another firm nod.

"We'll go talk to him, see if we can get Zuko to come along."

Katara noticed the wince and didn't care. Sokka seemed to miss why she'd said it in the first place, and she was hardly surprised. After all, he didn't have anything to prove, she did.

But she forgot that momentarily when he started talking about Aang.

"We'll do that," Katara said, then paused. "Thank you Leon," she said. "I know it seems like I'm ungrateful, but I appreciate what you've done for me, I won't let you down."

"I know." He had high hopes for her. "And you're welcome.

"Last thing is that you should have a word with Mr. Reyes. He's been trying to find a way to get us to the bridge, and he's just about ready to go. He could probably use a hand or two."

That wasn't an order, but they may want to take that suggestion.

"Other than that, you're free to go. You can collect your omnicomm and other personal items at the front." And while he didn't say it, he hoped they would not have to have this kind of conversation again.
