Chapter Text
Zuko successfully manages to infiltrate the skeld, as he arrives all he has is one mission in mind.
Sabotage and kill everyone.
Although he knew that he was a bad liar, he's made it this far and he won't give up n-
[ EMERGENCY MEETING ]
The one in the Blue Suit (and the one who called the meeting) shouts, "Red is kinda sus... I think he's the impostor!" He points at Zuko.
"What are you talking about? It's not me."
"Well, it seems to me like all you've been doing was running around, and you haven't been doing any tasks... care to explain?"
Zuko mentally facepalms, "We literally just arrived 2 seconds ago."
"That's what the impostor would say." Blue narrows his eyes a bit as he glares at him, "Very sus."
"But we don't have any proof yet, Sokka." The one in the Yellow Suit says, "We should probably just skip first."
"Aang is right, we can't just try and guess." The girl in Cyan says.
Everyone agrees and proceeds to skips the vote.
No one was ejected. (Skipped)
Once the voting was over, the one in Yellow approaches him, "Sorry about that, we shouldn't have suspected you right off the bat." He apologizes.
"Uh, it's fine."
The boy smiles, "I'm Aang, by the way! What's your name?"
"...Zuko."
Zuko's first target was Blue (who was known as "Sokka"), he was the person who was most suspicious of him so it was logical to take him out first.
He spots Sokka in electrical, uploading data. There was no one with them, they were alone and this was his chance-
"Woah, Red!" Sokka finishes his task and steps back a few steps, "Were you just staring at me this entire time?!"
"Ye-" Zuko sweats as he realizes what he was about to say and tries to cover up his mistake, "Uh, no... no I was doing the distributor task."
Blue stares at him with a sceptical expression, "Well, alright..." he says slowly, and walks away.
As Sokka leaves the room, he realizes that he's taking things too quick, he has to build trust first or else every wrong move he makes will make him even more suspicious than before.
"Uh, hey Aang." Zuko greets as he passes by Medbay.
"Hey Zuko! Did you need something?"
Zuko stares at the boy standing on a round platform, "So, what are you doing?"
"Oh this? I'm scanning!" Aang explains, "They sometimes require a few people to scan, the people who aren't required have probably already scanned before we arrived. It's kinda strange that you don't know."
Zuko nods, "Sorry, I scanned differently before I got here so uh... I couldn't recognize it."
"Oh okay!"
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds until Zuko breaks it.
"Once you're done with your tasks, wanna talk in the cafeteria?"
Aang steps off the scanner and smiles, "Sure! I'll be finished in a few minutes." He walks off and waves, "See you soon, Zuko!"
"Yeah, see you..." Zuko holds his hand up.
