The Unveiling

Azula agreed to meet with her brother and his nosy friends, if for no other reason then to make an appearance. Unbeknownst to them, however, she sent a letter to her birth daughter, asking her and her family to come.

"I understand if you don't want to know who I am, but your brother has wondered about you for a long time. I know it was wrong to separate you from your twin, but I didn't see a way out at the time. His girlfriend is expecting twins and it would be nice if they could get to know Korra some day."

Senna knew she had been adopted from an early age. She asked her dad why she didn't look like mom and he explained that they had adopted her and that her mother couldn't have children of her own. He said that the woman who had her loved her but was sick and couldn't raise her, so she asked him to take her instead. He brought her home and Suki had fallen in love with her right away. They never looked back.

She didn't know, however, that she had a brother. She thought it was time that she learn what really happened to her family and brought Tonraq and Korra.

Needless to say, everyone was surprised to see her.

"Senna?" Kya was pleasantly surprised to see her cousin.

"My birth mother said she wanted us to come."

"What?" Everyone said to her.

"It's been a long time," Azula said to her little girl, who was now a grown woman with a little girl of her own.

"You're Senna's mother?" Katara hissed at her.

"Birth mother. I could hardly replace Suki under the circumstances."

"The avatar's your granddaughter?" Tenzin questioned.

Everyone glared at him.

"Oops!"

"I already knew that," Azula said. "I may not have been visible, but I was watching both of my children as best I could. Remember when your mother won the lottery, and it was really lucky because you all were about to get evicted from your apartment?" she asked Senna.

"I do. How did you (know)?"

"There was no lottery. I forged the ticket and sent the money myself."

"She did," Ty Lee confirmed. "I saw her make the forgery."

"How did you get that kind of money?" Senna asked her.

"I well, does my pardon cover that?" she asked her brother.

He shook his head. "I don't even want to know."

"I'll tell you someday. Anyway, I know you all want to know who their father was, but I would rather tell Senna first. It's not like her father or I have been particularly honest with her, and I don't think she should have to hear this in front of a crowd."

Azula, Senna and Tonraq went into a separate room. Kuzon saw his niece for the first time.

"Hi Korra," he sat down to play with her. She had a toy train that she liked to roll on the floor.

"The suspense is killing me!" Toph whined.

"Oh hush, I had to wait 10 years to hear this," Kuzon retorted.

"I was left waiting 58 years," Zuko complained. "No one tells me anything!"

"You should get better spies," Kuzon answered.

"Oh, your nephew's throwing shade!" Bumi answered.

"WHAT?" Senna yelled when Azula told her.

"I didn't want to ruin your parents' marriage. They went through a rough patch. Sokka thought she was going to leave him. She had become distant and was short tempered with him. We ran into each other one day and we started talking. We got closer and closer, and we had an affair.

Eventually, Suki explained that she couldn't have kids and that's why she was so depressed. She and your father had been trying for years. She knew he needed an heir to run the tribe. She thought he'd leave her, so she withdrew from him first.

When he realized what happened, he rushed to her side again, but you and your brother had already been conceived. I didn't want to break up the marriage, but I wasn't sure what to do. When you two were born, an obvious solution came about. No one would be able to look at you and tell you were Fire Nation. I gave you to your father, and he told Suki that he adopted you. I gave your brother to Ty Lee, and I walked away.

I didn't think I'd ever meet you. I probably wouldn't have if this whole love triangle drama hadn't come about. I wanted you to have something of mine, so I gave my music box to your father to give to you.

"The red and gold one?"

"Yeah, you remember."

"I still have it."

"He gave me his space sword to give to Azulon. It wasn't fair of us, I know, but you both came out so well. I don't think it would have been the case if I had raised you."

Senna was pretty upset, but she wasn't angry. How could her father never tell her? She understood why he didn't tell mother, but how could he keep this from her? He should have met his only son. She should have grown up with her brother. At least she got closure. Kuzon never would.

"I need a minute."

Azula nodded sadly and walked away.

"So, as I think you all know at this point, Senna and Azulon's father was married, so I gave them each to a different person, so that no one would make the connection between them.

It probably seems like an odd choice that I gave Senna to Sokka and maybe even odder that he never told any of you about it.

The reason I picked Sokka to raise her was because he was her father all along. I didn't want Suki to leave him, not after he just got her back, so I forged some papers, so he could say he adopted her. Suki must have never confirmed with the agency or else she would have realized that they were made up."

Everyone just stared at her. Sokka had twins with Azula? He cheated on Suki?

Zuko couldn't believe it.

Katara didn't believe it. "How could you make up such a ridiculous story?"

"What?"

"I mean it's bad enough you told your son Aang was his father, but Sokka too. Seriously what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't make it up. I can prove it. Azulon, take off your shirt."

"What?"

"You have a birthmark, just like your father's. Take off your shirt."

He reluctantly did, causing Kya to whistle at him.

"He's your cousin!" Lin scolded.

"EW!" Kya remembered.

Tenzin frowned. It meant Kuzon was his cousin too.

On his shoulder was a moon shaped birthmark, just like Sokka's.

"I don't believe it," Katara said. She took a closer look at his arm. "Sokka and my father had the same mark."

Senna was talking to her husband. "I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. My birth mother was a princess, which makes me a princess. My father was my father, which means I'm his love child and not just adopted. My twin brother's having twins with Lin. It's just so weird."

"You are the same woman you were yesterday," Tonraq told her. "So you came about differently than you had once believed. Suki is still your mother. Sokka was always your father. No he wasn't exactly the man you thought he was, but he loved you. You know that."

"Yeah, I do."

"You don't have to lose anyone, but you can gain a new family, if you want to."

She did. Her brother was marrying a childhood friend of hers. She would be an aunt in just a couple of months. She had a mother to meet. Senna came out.

"Mommy, grandma taught me how to do this." Korra made her first flame. It was blue.

Senna grinned. "What do you say?"

"Thanks Grandma!"

Azula grinned. "She's so cute!"
