Zutara Month 2012 – Day 3: Potential

He finally understood something that now was important. Katara had potential in a lot of things. In a list of good and bad things he was pleased to find in her and discovering new ones had become his new hobby.

For example, she was a potentially dangerous woman when it comes to her temper. You would never want to see her in a bad mood. You would never hear the end of it, especially if it was your fault.

Unfortunately, that had been the first thing he noticed about her whole potential thing when he joined the Gaang. She had all the right to be mad at him. He had indeed betrayed her back there in Ba Sing Se. She had seen him in his most vulnerable moment. He had allowed her to touch his scarred eye. He had seen the sincerity in her eyes when she told him she could try to heal him.

He had betrayed her trust and her good intentions. But she had started to trust him again, and he won't betray her ever again. He cared for her.

She had great potential in her bending. She was determined, strong and passionate. She couldn't have born with a different bending ability. She could never be a fire bender: her temper would have made her as explosive as Azula, but it could have been dangerous for her own wellbeing. She could never be an earth bender: it was true that she was strong but she was never rough. Zuko didn't know exactly how to explain, but her hands were so soft –made to heal and harm at the same time. She could never be an air bender: yes, she was a free spirit, but her whole existence wasn't connected to air.

She was a water bender and that fit perfectly to her in so many ways. That was something he liked about her but he was a coward. He would never say that to her, it would be embarrassing –though she knew that he acknowledge her strength.

She was potentially dangerous once in a while, also. Sometimes she was too good for her –or their– own security. She occasionally put herself into such great problems! But that was something he also liked about her and it was odd. He decided that he liked to protect her.

And, on top of all that, she had been potentially dangerous for him. He didn't expect falling for her. True, he wanted her to trust him, to befriend him and he had to work hard for that. But he fell hard for her in the process and that scared him. It was different that Mai –completely different. He put himself through such things for her he couldn't understand. This was absolutely entertaining for Toph, of course; who kept implying such embarrassing things in lunch and dinner…

But she had potential in different ways. She was carrying and would be a wonderful mother –he blushed every time he thought about that, which was odd–, she was a warrior, always ready for a fight, but also a healer, always alert of everyone's wellness.

She was, in one single word, unique.
