The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you.
Ax had escaped the Controllers on board. Brainy had not been so lucky. Neither had Sam and Tim. And who knew how many others on board had Yeerks wrapped around their brains, controlling their every movement, pretending that everything was normal until the time came to strike.
Who do you trust, podlings?

Oh shit, there she goes crying again.
"Sorry. There was just...something happened and..."
no subject
He thinks that, until he sees the crying girl, at which point he glances around awkwardly. Some girl he knows is crying. That's weird.
But there's a guy standing next to her, and Zuko, being one to jump to conclusions, leaps.
"What did you do to her?"
no subject
Man, this old guy is creepy sometimes. Possibly in non-platonic ways.

She breaks off into tears again, and crouches down, holding her face in her hands.
"I'll be fine," she says weakly. "Just...just got some stuff rattling around in my head is all."
no subject
Because if Leela's okay, then Zuko has reached the end of his making-crying-girls-better rope. He is not very good with the comforting.
Might as well focus on something else he doesn't know.
no subject
Her eyes are blank as she looks up and says that, and she buries her face again.
"Seriously, though, I'll be fine."
Really. Despite all the crying and rocking slightly in place, she's aces. No problem. Just a little psychic torment.

"Of course it's not supposed to happen. Just like you ignoring me wasn't supposed to happen. Jesus Christ in a Sunday dress, I went through that crying act to get one of y'all close for nothin'."
She drops Shawn to deal with his little problem by himself, and pulls out her scythe and chain.

Second later he began to laugh. "You have gotta be kidding me. Y'know that psychic thing that guy has been doing? It's a lie. He's been faking it this entire time."

"What was that?" re: the lights. "What is that?" re: the slug. "What are you?" Re: Leela.
"Whatever you did to him, let him go now."

Leela reaches into her bag and tosses Shawn a Dracon beam.
"You take ol' scarface. Watch the flames. I, on the other hand--"
She attacks Wednesday by flinging her chain, trying to tangle up his scimitar.

"Run...now" Shawn grunted, having retaken control for the briefest of moments.

The swords go away and Zuko lunges at Shawn, fast in the way that only a person who's been training to kill people since they were able to stand are, reaching for the hand with the weapon. Zuko hasn't faced too many of those yet, but he's disarmed enough people with weapons to know how to stay out of their way.
no subject
She moves as if she's...expecting that, and in fact uses it for momentum to slide into a sweep-kick at his feet.
"I see what she sees."
no subject
—and stops halfway, using the movement to pivot and pull the chain in the opposite direction.
no subject
"You should've listened to him. There's a reason he's been able to fake being psychic for so long in his world. He's observant. So much so in fact he can read every movement you're gonna make before you make it."

It was dishonorable to use firebending against a non-bender. It was an unfair advantage, and one that a true master of firebending should not need to use. The art was martial as well as elemental for many reasons, including the fact that most Fire Nation soldiers were not benders, but still had the right to honorable combat.
But then again, there wasn't a whole lot that was honorable about stealing control of another person's body and using it to attack their shipmates.
While Shawn's arm was still completing the arc that had missed his skull, Zuko clenched his fist and, with a deep exhalation, launched a fireball directly at the false psychic. He had very little time to take advantage of the visual cover that the move offered him, so he swept his leg out to knock Shawn off his feet inches behind the roiling flames.
