Last Straw



She went straight to the Sensoriums. Her feelings were all over the place, and she had to get away from people right now. She remembered all too well what happened to Alex when he lost Luna: she knew she had to find a way to take her aggression out. There was pain and self loathing and unspeakable things she was sorting through, but right now it was nothing but anger she was feeding on. She closed her eyes when she entered, concentrating on the enemies she;s fought while she'd been on the ship.

The Terminators. The T-Rex. The Nightmare King's monster minions. The traps Hal had laid for them. They came one at a time but Katara was ready, steeling herself to calmly maneuver out of the traps, to find a way to take down the terminator most efficiently, and those alone took more than a few hours. It was when she got to the nightmare King's minions, however, that Katara stopped being cautious. Now she ripped into them, stabbing at them with ice shards and freezing them on the spot before blowing through them, and slowly her determined face gave away to that of rage. As she started to remember their fights, their hugs, their talks, she switched to the Bene Gesserit fighting style, her hits were starting to get more serious, leaving many injured in her wake, though she received a few cuts herself. When she was done an hour later, it faded, all of it, and she was left in water, where she had heard Sokka once talk to Toph about how she'd been like a mother to her, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She let out a scream, primal and pained.

"WHY?! WHY BRING HIM HERE JUST TO TAKE HIM AWAY?! ALL THIS TIME, JUST TO TAKE HIM AND NOT HAVE AANG HERE AND MAKE ZUKO FORGET WHAT WE ALL DID?? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?"

And she dissolved into tears here, the sun sinking into the clouds and leaving a dark, lonely pond.

This was something Beastboy knew the answer to.

"Keep going." He said softly in a bit of a far off tone, "Take a deep breath, let it out slowly. Stand up and do what you know you have to." He smiled gently, "After all, what would he say if he were here right now?"

A smile broke over his features, "That's the spirit." He hugged her once more, "If he's half the warrior you are I'm sure the big all knowing meatship will probably spit him back out just when we need him the most. And when he shows up we'll be able to brag about all the totally awesome stuff he missed." He winked roguishly. "You could even freak him out and tell him you had a kid or something."

Beastboy grinned cheerfully, "He'll get over it, especially when he hears tell of how his sister fought off half the OHM army with her loyal team of Outsiders at her side!" He shifted into a snake and Curled around Katara in...well you could call it a hug, and waggled his forked tongue at her.
