What Sisters Are For
Su was the first one to throw a rock but Lin easily redirected it back at her, Su knew Lin wouldn’t try to kill her but she also knew being her sister was getting her no sympathy. Su flung the same rock back but once it was a few meters from Lin she broke it off into smaller sharper rocks, barely a second before they made contact with Lin’s skin the older woman pulled up a wall to protect herself before pushing the wall forwards towards Su. Su pulled another rock up and covered herself with it like armour and braced herself for the impact of the wall which she broke. As the dust cleared Su got a glimpse of Lin running towards her and flinging herself into the air with a rock and kicking Su.
“You could’ve crushed me with that instead of just kicking me, you know.” Su pointed out with a smirk. Lin threw a punch at Su’s head but the younger sister caught it with expertise. “Admit it you’ve got a soft spot for me.” Lin stopped at the comment and Su saw her chance and took it kicking Lin hard in the abdomen.
“You’re lucky I’m not pregnant throwing around kicks like that,” Lin says trying not to seem winded. “Well unless Kya finally grew a dick I don’t see how you could be.” Su laughs at her sister curving a frisbee of rock up from behind her but Lin senses the disc before it hits her and backflips kicking it towards Su’s head. Su holds her hands up wonder woman style to stop the rock from hitting her head and laughs, “Hey! That was mean.” Lin smirked at the earthbender and threw another rock at her head, “That’s what older sisters are for!” Lin laughs as Su coughs on the dust.
“Well, you know what younger sisters are for?” Su asks, shaking the ground beneath Lin as the older woman tries to throw a rock, it lands just in front of Su. She looks down at it and throws it at Lin’s foot trapping her. “Emotional torment!” She shouts, trapping her sister’s other foot.
Lin tries to break free but fails as Su’s grip intensifies. “What are you on about Su?” Lin asks, looking between her sister and her trapped feet. “You’re in love with Kya, admit it!” Su says right next to her face. Lin lifts her first to hit her but Su quickly bends them together with a nearby rock. Lin growls and moves her head to bite Su to which she laughs.”Really Lin?”
Lin struggles for another few minutes before Su gives up and releases her. “Fine, you don’t have to say it, it’s okay if you’re not ready yet but can we at least have a good round?” Lin sighs and walks up to the younger earth bender with her hand extended, she smiles and takes hold of her older sister’s arm just like they would as kids.
The match continues for a few more minutes until everyone comes back from their various activities and takes a seat watching the sisters fight as if at a pro-bending match. The cheers of the crowd can be heard and as Su slips over one of Lin’s rocks her husband can be heard gasping loudly as her mother calls him a lily-livered little boy. “Better not let your husband see you lose.” Lin laughs helping Su up.
More and more people flood in but the sparing sisters pay no attention, that is until Kya walks in. Su had been expecting her arrival and between dodging and attacking she’d been using her seismic sense to see when the waterbender would arrive, more specifically when Lin would see her and lose focus. Just as Kya rounded the corner Su shook the ground below her sister knocking her to the floor, and while she was distracted looking at Kya with Rohan in her arms Su threw a rock at her splitting it into sharp blades but stopping it just before they hit the chief knowing that she would be too distracted to defend herself.
The crowd went silent then an uproar of cheer erupted and Kya handed the baby to Kia, who quickly handed him to Opal, and ran down to see if Lin was okay. “Better not let your wife see you lose!” Su laughed, throwing a pebble at Lin and breaking it above her head to create dust before running off to celebrate with her adoring fans - mostly consisting of close family-.
“Lin, are you alright?!” Kya ran over, worried but Lin stood up before she could get there and nodded indicating that she was fine but simply didn’t want to talk. “You don’t have to talk about it but I know how you feel about losing..” Kya tried pushing the woman to talk but like her element, she was rock solid and not about to budge, even under pressure.
Lin flashed a sympathetic smile and simply stated she needed to go clean herself up, and knowing that dinner would be soon, asked Kya to save her a seat.
