   Summary

   Crime has been rising in Republic City, and Aang can't keep dealing with it all on his own. But when Toph visits Republic City for a Team Avatar reunion, an idea sparks in Aang's mind.

   "Toph, what if you established an official police force here in Republic City with your metalbenders?"

   "Woah, what?"

   Sokka looked over, his eyes wide with excitement. "Wait, that's actually a great idea! Way less boring than just teaching."

   Toph furrowed her eyebrows and an annoyed expression appeared on her face. She loved teaching at her academy. Sure, it could be repetitive, but she was stubborn, and refused to abandon the future metalbenders.

   "No," she said flatly. "And besides, none of my students are good enough at metalbending to protect a whole city."
