I know i have to update my other stuff. I'm working on it, really.

This is sort of a songfic inspired by Paramore's song Fences. I was imaging supernatural powers when i first hear the song and i had the ugre to make a one shot on it.


I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
There are people looking through
The window in the door
they know exactly what we're here for.

"I can't believe this! Stupid government procedures!" Zuko snarled dropping to the plain white couch.

"They're only going to check our progress" Katara shrugged

"What progress. I don't even have supernatural powers!" Zuko exclaimed.

"Right, it only happens that every time your pissed you body temperature is almost four hundred degrees!" Sokka said sarcastically.

"Speaking of that" Toph started 'The fire alarm's about to go off again"

Katara carelessly flicked her wrist and the water cooler spilled over Zuko's head. Sokka chuckled. "You really love it when she does that, don't you?" Zuko said, the water evaporating off his body.

Sokka nodded. "I still don't see why we have to stay here, in a freakin display case for research. So Katara can move liquids with her mind, Toph can feel vibrations hundreds of feet away, and Aang can practically fly. We're just kids" Zuko exclaimed.

Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.

Katara shrugged. "They're helping us use our powers"

"Helping, right" Toph rolled her eyes. "They're keeping us here so we don't hurt anyone"

Katara looked to Zuko. "Especially you. You know how many times you've nearly killed yourself?"

Zuko looked down. "Yeah. But you just control stuff. I have a constant energy that randomly changes my body temperature and occasionally makes flames"

"I kind of like it here" Aang spoke up. "Food, beds, nobody to make fun of us"

"Only people to study us" Zuko muttered.

You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.

"Even if you got out of here what would happen?" Sokka looked Zuko in the eye. "Who would you turn to?"

Zuko looked away. "Don't you want to see your dad again. You guys could go home" he whispered.

"We could.....I don't even remember my home. I was born, and they threw me in this place!" Toph yelled.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.

"We're gonna die here. They're abusing our powers!" Toph said

"Toph if we were in the real world we'd be even weaker" Katara said kindly.

"Weaker?" Zuko asked. "We're not that special. And if I by chance ever do use my powers correctly I usually burn myself and pass out!"

"I don't even know what my power is" Sokka said glumly.

"Lucky you" the older teen scoffed.

And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.

"We could be proud of our talents and show them off. Make history.' Aang suggested.

"Ya right. People would only fear us" Toph sighed.

If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, separate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.

"We could resist this. We don't have to learn out powers" Zuko said

"You know better than any of us what happens when you ignore the drive, and it usually ends with an explosion" Katara shot back.

"There is a middle ground here" Toph pointed out.

Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in

"You guys are only asking for a life of this" Zuko said.

Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking

"We're all embracing it. Maybe if you gave in to who you are you'd be better" Katara yelled

So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.

"Well Katara, why don't you go show off your gift. Seriously. Those government officials will rip your little spirit up and you'll come back crying" Zuko scoffed.

"Fine" Katara shot. She summoned all her energy to the water in the room. It shot at Zuko in the form of ice.

Zuko slid out of the way, one of the shards piercing his arm.

"Whoa" Aang commented.

Zuko ripped the ice out of his arm. "Now don't you wish you could do that?" Toph asked.

Toph felt Zuko's body heating quickly. "Try it" she said. Zuko took a breath and followed the vibe. A stream of fire shot out of his hand slamming into the wall.

Zuko dropped to his knees. "whoa" the others all said.

"Zuko your vibrations are....normal?" Toph commented. "I'm guessing that's how you release heat energy"

Zuko stood up warily. "Okay that was unexpected"

"So ready to do that in front of all the scientist?" Sokka smirked.

Zuko groaned and mumbled something as escorts walked in and took the four "benders" as the card said, away.


Well that gave me somethign to do this afternoon. I don't normally do this kind of thing so tell me what you think.

I might continue it as a story. Yes or no?

Please R&R

(and i really am working on my other fics)
