   Summary

   “She was hit with lightning. Are your healers in the Water Tribe familiar with severe burns? What about being burned from the inside out? Do your healers in the Water Tribe know about that? If you had any water healers at home, I would happily send her. Unfortunately for you, I know that the only water healer from your tribe is laying in that bed. My healers are her best shot. She’s staying here.”

   “Zuko, she doesn’t belong to you,” Sokka said.

   “She does now.”

   ---

   Azula aimed straight for Katara...but Zuko didn't make it in time. Katara survived the lightning blast, but what will happen when the healer is the one that needs healing?
