The Only Thing Worth Smiling For

Summary:

“I saw them drag him to the cell at the end of the hall when he was unconscious,” Steph mumbled quietly so as not to alert the guards as she moved through her stances with the blunt battle axe she favoured during practice. “Heard them talk about him being a fire bender.”

“No way, they’re all dead or in hiding,” someone scoffed from behind her, disbelief evident in his voice.

“Yeah, well, they’re obviously not hiding well enough if Ra’s has found one,” Stephanie said grunting.

OR
Jason has been a gladiator for Ra's for longer than he can remember, taken from his family when he was young, but the sudden appearance of a fire bender at the colosseum shakes things up in his previously rote existence for the better. Can Tim give Jason back the hope and spirit he'd lost at Ra's and Talia's hands or will they both end up ground down and yield to the Emperor's rule?
