It was hard to wrap my mind around everything that's gone on in my son's life; ghost powers, a dark alternate future, Vlad trying to kill him. It was too much for me to handle just hearing about it and he's done it on his own as a fourteen year-old kid? Just how blind have I been? How blind were both Maddie and I?

And Vlad. I can't believe that man. I've taken his side more times than I can count and he repays me with attempts on my son's life? He let the money go to his head; there's proof that I wasn't just blabbering when I told him moving to the rich district of town would slowly corrupt him.

Looking around, I couldn't help but realize how upside down all of this was. I was the only adult here and also the only one who didn't have a hold over situation. These were a bunch of kids, two of which my own, and world literally rested on their shoulders.

And all that time, we thought Danny was just being lazy and rebellious.

I felt useless. I was supposed to be the adult, the one in charge, and yet I could barely keep up with the orders these kids gave me. Even Zuko, who I thought to be the oldest, couldn't have hit eighteen yet. A bunch of kids who had to save to world.

All of them were too young to have this burden on them.

It frustrated me that I couldn't be the support my kids or any of these guys needed, but I had to sit back and let them do what they knew; it was clear I did little more than slow them down on most things. I wish Mads were here, she'd know what to do, how to help them.

It had been a long day, that was something all of them could agree on, but it was just the beginning of the journey.

As the two sides of this fight started to converge, a battle field was being marked. Those that stood in the way of the good, found a disappointing lack of help. Those that stood in the way of the bad found destruction and ruin if they were lucky.

Azula couldn't decide whether to be impressed or disgusted by Dan's lack of respect or caring for those who got in his way; more than one woman had fallen prey to the pent up frustrations being trapped in a thermos had caused. One couldn't exactly relieve themselves when trapped in a gaseous form.

Avatar Aang didn't know how to take the fact that he was now up against an unforeseen enemy; no number of masters could have trained him for the possibility of fighting Azula, the Firelord, and Dan all at once. He knew Danny and the members of both their teams would be of some help, but there was a sense of unease in everyone knowing that any one of those three enemies on their own was a major threat.

They always knew the final battle would be a hard one, but this seemed damn near impossible.

I FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE PERSON. I haven't actually gotten an update out for this in forever. :O FORGIVE ME!
