Old friends and annoying enemies

Azula was starting to be able to move her wrists and elbows a little by the time the avatar's gang were drifting off. She managed, with considerable effort, to tilt her head just enough to see the three of them. Sokka, Aang and Katara. Those three, the traitorous Mai and Ty Lee, and that woman with the shirshu, whatever, her name was... Azula growled.

Suffice to say, the princess wasn't one to forgive and forget.

She managed to get onto her side, still struggling, and saw the three asleep. Even if she had full movement, there was no making fire in a room this chilly, not without help; meanwhile the three had found blankets or torn down tapestries, wanting to sleep in the same room so they could keep an eye on her (despite Sokka's objections), so they were warm at least. Azula however felt her nipples grow diamond-hard in the cold, shivering as she waited for the venom to wear off.

There was very little she could do, both in the cell and unable to move. Instead she did the one thing she could. Just as it seemed the avatar and his friends were finally drifting off, she took a deep breath and screamed as loudly as she could manage.

The three jerked awake. Azula grinned smugly. If they were going to imprison her, leave her naked, try to fight her, then she definitely wasn't going to just let them sleep.

"Seriously?" Sokka said.

She tried to speak back, only to slur. Still, she was doing better. Instead, she screamed again, stopping Katara's insistent second attempt to sleep.

"Alright, that's it," Sokka said. "Find something to gag her with, I need my nap-time."

Azula wriggled, intending to move closer and bite threatening, to show she could now move enough to be a problem. She just succeeded in rolling up onto her side, then falling flat on her face. She squirmed, blushing, to try and face her enemies again. When she did, Katara was holding Sokka's arm.

"Don't bother," Katara said. "Gagging her won't stop her making noise."

Azula smiled in triumphant pettiness.

"Though you'd think she'd want to be sure the people holding her prisoner weren't going to be grouchy from lack of sleep," Katara continued.

Azula glowered back. Was that supposed to be a threat? She wasn't going to be afraid of them, they should be afraid of her! She was the princess of the Fire Nation, one of the finest living firebenders, a lightningbender, and she was so going to punish them when she got out of this stupid...

She wriggled and fell on her face again. An insistent voice at the back of her mind told her that she wasn't much of a princess just then. She was just a naked woman, shivering and baring all to those brats. She did her best to ignore that voice.

Then she heard the door swing open. Azula yelped, trying to cover up, and instead falling back onto her back, cheeks reddening. Being bared to three people was bad enough, but the last thing she wanted was more guests!

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ty Lee and Mai. Azula's not-at-all-panicked-shut-up squeal turned to a growl. Them.

"Oh, you're still awake, excellent!" Ty Lee said cheerily.

"Not by choice," Sokka groaned.

"I thought you'd gone," Katara said.

Ty Lee twiddled her thumbs. Mai sighed.

"See, we thought about it..." Ty Lee said.

"Can we join up?" Mai said.

"What?!" Katara said.

"Sure, we can fight, but not against a whole army!" Ty Lee said. "We're part of Azula's team, if word gets out we're not travelling with her, people are going to ask questions! And if word gets out she was captured, or she escapes, then the whole Fire Nation is going to accuse us of treason which, sure, is technically accurate, but treason!"

"You evaded us well enough," Mai said. "We figure you're our best chance."

Sokka, Katara and Aang looked among one another Aang was beaming, though it seemed to be diminished by the skepticism of the others. Azula, meanwhile, just screamed in annoyance.

Traitors! Oh, when she got out... She was going to put them through every humiliation she'd gone through, and then some. Every mortifying ordeal her mind could conjure up. Every naked, blushing, tickling, spanking, tongue-filled thought she could have, they would never live another day without going beet-red at the humiliations she'd put them through, the very second she got out...

"Azula?" Ty Lee said.

"Yeah, she's doing that a lot," Sokka said. "Kinda annoying. We're trying to sleep."

"Huh? Oh, that's easy," Ty Lee said. She crouched. "Tit for tat. Do you want anything in there?"

Azula growled, glaring.

Yes. A lot of things. Clothes, freedom, a candle to give her some heat to firebend, a blanket, a weapon... She glared. Ty Lee cooed.

"How about a piece of parchment?" Ty Lee said. "You can plot out your **** while the rest of us get some sleep. And if you start waking everyone up, we take the parchment away. Does that sound good?"

Azula paused. Damn it, Ty Lee knew her. That was a good idea. She was having so many ideas for what to do to them all, and she didn't want to forget a single one. Reluctantly, Azula growled again and nodded.

"Yeth," she slurred, managing to get the word out.

Ty Lee smiled brightly, and looked around everyone else.

"See! I can help," she said.

"Can we talk about this in the morning?" Sokka yawned. "I'm tired."

"Sure!" Ty Lee said cheerily. "Just remember who helped you get some shut-eye."

There were plenty of sheets of parchment and quills around the embassy. One was slid through the bars, and Azula stared at it, fixated, eventually slowly managing to make her arms move, each one stiff. Once she could write...

Oh, she'd plot out a **** the likes of which the world had never seen. They had no idea what was coming for them. Neither did Azula yet, admittedly, but she was certainly it would be the most humiliating thing she could devise.
