Chapter 245: The Egg-Slapping Uncle

Chapter 245: The Egg-Slapping Uncle

"Woah..."

With her lips hung ajar and maybe... just maybe, feeling a bit of drool collect behind her full bottom lip, Ty Lee gasps in surprise. But she isn't the only one surprised.

Usually, after a bit of strength training in the morning, Nik would spar with everyone since he always pushed himself to complete all the rounds and only the active fighters would be awake for this. Ty Lee just joined in... because despite her lack of enthusiasm for the art, she is a damn good fighter and she likes to show off.

Of course, Ty Lee's reaction is shared by Suki, June, and Mai.

The four of them continue to look at Nik who had no intention to NOT show off. He practiced a bit before coming here to have a reasonable understanding of his strength and while he did note the level of strength he should put in his fight... he also noted he is crazy flexible now...

And recalling some of the crazy positions in Progenitor's Space, he can understand why. Some of those positions were crazy.

But... deep down, Nik has always been humble. So, he gently pats Ignit's smooth scales and grins, "No need to make her feel weird. She already knows she is sexy as heck."

*Huff*

Blowing plumes of smoke from her nostril and craving desire and affection every time, Ignit eagerly rubs her head against his and has one of her wings pass around his shoulders.

"What?" Mai mutters, the quickest to recollect, and observes him carefully.

"How?!" Ty Lee adds on louder after an audible gulp.

"Who the hell cares about what and how?" June licks her lips and brushes the thick locks of hair covering the right side of her face to view the treat with both eyes. Of course, 'Ignit's' the treat in this case.

"Come on," She adds while narrowing her viridian green gaze, "I just remembered we have special training scheduled for this morning." Before she can walk up to her man like a smitten kitten ready for some good pampering, a leg intercepts her steps and makes her fall on her face while the cause of this incident huffs and looks at Nik, "Did you... uh, take some wrong spirit stuff? I mean, it looks good. But Kyoshi's teaching does have a section about substance abuse and the cost is too much..."

"I'm not a Junkie," Nik rolls his eyes and then questions, "Where is Nyla? I was hoping to introduce Ignit so they can play around."

Not bothering about Suki, June stands up and smiles, "Come on, I'll bring you there now."

"Can you stop this already?" Suki rolls her eyes.

"Oh, I am sorry for reciprocating his obvious invitation," June scoffs.

"Is that an invitation?" Suki snaps a glare in Nik's direction and he shakes his head calmly. But the moment Suki looks at June, Nik winks at June and nods quietly while mouthing— 'It is.'

"Fine," June smirks, too, "I'll stop. For now." She looks at Nik, "But I'm the one breaking into the 'new' you tonight."

"I look forward to it. And don't you sub someone else in too quickly," Nik chuckles while leaning against Ignit.

"So? What happened?" Ty Lee quickly cartwheels over to Nik before trying to cover his bicep with her grip and failing successfully, "Woah, it's like a brick! Did you eat something strange? Wait, wow! Your legs!" How she had her hands so quickly onto his thighs is a question for another day. But it's clearly not enough as Ty Lee suddenly grabs onto his shoulder and then flips over his head to land facing his back. Committing to the task, her fingers soon map the indentations of muscles of his back through his cut-sleeved tunic.

"If you all must know, I... well, it's about the stuff I have talked with you guys about."

While June only got to know the truth yesterday and did wish to assume that Nik was pulling her leg... but after the Ozai fiasco, she had no choice but to believe his words. And she has to admit, seeing Nik like this not only acts as proof that maybe he isn't lying. Not to mention seeing THIS Nik proved to affect her decision quite a bit.

Of course, it's just visual aid. If June was only interested in sex, she would have left Nik long ago.

"You still can't tell me?" Ty Lee pouts from behind as Nik shrugs and then directs his gaze in Mai's and Suki's direction.

"So?"

"You look... good," Suki coughs and blushes, "Really chiseled. I mean... you're showing... good. But you need to cover up, too..."

"Don't let Yue see you," Mai presents a much more realistic outlook, "Her fantasies of getting roughed down will not be able to comprehend the things you can do to a princess now as her... ugh, a warrior..."

"Heh, no kink-shaming," Nik snorts and sets the heretic fool straight, "I'm safe space."

"You mean your room is a safe space?" Ty Lee questions while hanging on his back like a monkey.

"Do you see me now?" Nik grins and tilts his head to look at her, "I AM safe space."

"So did you get something from you-know-what?" Suki questions.

"I did," Nik nods.

"Please, guys, be a little more secretive. I might figure it out," Ty Lee pouts and commits a handstand on Nik's shoulder before dropping in front of him.

"Doubt it," Mai shrugs.

"Mai is right, sweetheart," June shrugs, too, "You won't guess in a thousand years."

"Just tell me! If it's that big of a secret, wouldn't telling someone before you initiate a relationship with them be better?"

For once Ty Lee makes sense as she continues, "Keep this up and I won't even tell how grand your aura feels now."

"Aside from that nonsense about Aura... Ty Lee does have a point. Why didn't you tell us before sleeping with us?" Mai inquires calmly while managing to lay a burn on Ty Lee in one breath.

"You're kidding, right?" Nik blinks in surprise, "In what world do you share one of your deepest secrets with strangers?"

"That's a good point, too," June walks over to Nik but instead of taking a stock of him which would ruin the fun for later, she smiles and rubs Ignit's chin, "You look glorious, too. I can't wait for you to meet Nyla. He needs a playmate and... Appa is never around for a long time."

*Hisss*

Ignit nods while letting out her long tongue to lap up June's face.

"Anyway, are we sparring or not? Because I really want to wake others up and show them the good stuff~!" He wags his brows which gets the girl to look at each other and they decide in an instant and unanimously at that— "We're sparring, of course!"

"Great," Nik's grin gets wicked, "You all can use non-lethal weapons then. Anything without a metallic edge and no hits to the eyes or groin. I want to get serious with Chi Blocking, too, so don't go easy on me, Ty Lee."

He gives the reason in the next second as he suddenly clenches his fist and picks up Ignit in all her glorious weight, causing her to let out a short breath of fire in surprise, "Because I won't."

'It sounds cool... but I do have to be the one who holds back this time, huh... unless Ty Lee gets some good hits on me.'

Nik makes an internal note before getting down to business.

Others' reaction isn't any worse and as Mai anticipated, the one to truly have her knees weak at the sight of his new self is none other than Yue.

But their surprise doesn't end anytime soon as after another simple explanation about how he got this, something which makes a few feel complicated because they only got to know about his status as an otherworldly traveler yesterday, they leave the personal space to meet Iroh and his special guest.

Nik DID want to talk to Ursa and others or even Michi and Poppy if they chatted yesterday or not...

But after a thought, he doesn't let impatience win even if he is feeling more excited and impatient today.

It doesn't take a genius to guess that this new swirl of uncontrollable bouts of emotions is what the status warned him about the changes in his mental situation. But either the bloodline is only an uncommon one or he has somehow mastered the true discipline of self because these changes are capable of being suppressed to a certain extent.

---

Ursa feels a little lightheaded as Iroh introduces a strapping albeit awkward lad as his... son.

But given his green eyes and darker skin tone, this youth has some complicated origins which Iroh goes over briefly.

"Everyone... meet my son, Ken. Her mother... was a swordsmith for one of the Earth Kingdom's war fronts and while we won, I did not subject the professionals and civilians to imprisonment. The earth kingdom's army at the time held these individuals against their will so I wished for them to return to their homes."

"H-Hello," Ken nods and looks around before clearing his throat, "I'm Ken..."

"We heard," Azula keeps her arms crossed and narrows her eyes.

"So, Uncle, did this swordsmith show special appreciation for your act of kindness?" She continues when Ursa admonishes the unruly daughter, "Azula! That is quite enough!"

"Zuko and Azula have a cousin and you aren't alone, Iroh. That's great for many reasons," Ursa smiles sincerely but throws Nik a sour look.

"Hey, I didn't know you still pulled bitc—"

"You're done," Poppy covers Toph's mouth as Iroh chuckles while patting his son's shoulder who feels rightly intimidated by the group.

Nodding in Iroh's direction, Ken musters, "My mother... didn't know she had me during her marriage right after the marriage and then my father died during the war. But after a few years... I could do this."

Ken suddenly creates flames around his fists that surprise others for a moment.

"My mother told me about... D- D-"

"You can call me Iroh," The man smiles gently, "I haven't done anything worthy to be called father yet... but I hope I can eventually gain the worth to be called as such."

Ken nods with gratitude clear in his expression and whispers, "Thank you... sigh, so, yeah. My mother told me about Iroh but we were happy to live our life. Mother died a few years ago and I finally decided to find Iroh—"

"After knowing he had become the Fire Lord or Before?" Azula suddenly questions.

"After," Ken lowers his head and hears Azula scoff, "Typical."

"Hey, let him finish, at least," Zuko frowns and gestures to Ken to continue.

"I wasn't after wealth... I just wanted to give him something mother made for Iroh but had kept it away."

"A wonderful sword, no?" Iroh unsheathes the sword belted around his wide belly.

"Ken's mother made this for me," Iroh explains, "But he was... in Fire Nation's prison for claiming to be my son and Ozai had him hidden away."

"A prisoner?" Nik frowns and looks at Ken seriously, "You look well-fed."

"Yeah..." Ken lowers his head, "I just tried to sneak up on Iroh this morning to assassinate him and failed... and then Iroh slapped me so hard I snapped out of it. My mind is still a bit... weirded out."

Others blank out but Sokka points out, "For a hard slap, you sure don't have any marks."

"It wasn't on my face," Ken groans and lowers his head while Iroh chuckles and holds his belly.

"Ken is a good fighter. Ozai trained him well but he seems to be an 'early' product without much conditioning. But then again, when I was about to slap him, he tried to jump and kick me..."

"I got it!" Toph grins and claims loudly, "You got slapped in your eggs!" She quickly leans back this time so Poppy couldn't cover her mouth.

"I... did..." Ken feels exhausted by this greeting already.

"Huh, that's my move," Nik laughs.

"Oh, no, you're the Nut Cracking Messiah, if my old mind can recollect well," Iroh chuckles, too, "I should call myself Egg Slapping Uncle."
