A) City Streets

[With the barrier having fallen the previous night, Henry's already on the look out for some semblance of his family. They still hadn't shown up yet which is beginning to worry the boy. But, now they had to be here. After all, something like that bright light had to mean something.

However, he did not expect his day to start off like this. As he's looking about trying to find some new clue to this ever going mystery he begins to feel his nose twitch irritably. He walks on but goes rubs his nose to stop the irritation. It still continues to itch and twitch to the point that he knows he's going to sneeze. He stops abruptly feeling the sneeze well up inside him, going up through his chest and into his nose and:]

ACHOOO!

[A sneeze that loud is bound to catch anyone's attention. The real eye catcher is what follows right after. A 12 year old boy flying about 20 feet into the air and grabbing onto a lamppost who now dangerously hangs off of it. There's only one thing to do:]

HEEEEELP!

b) Air temple island

[So after his little misadventure, Henry's first thought is to go to the place where apparently this happens quite often or at the very least who knows what it is. He'd only been given a brief understanding of what airbending was and what happened earlier definitely qualified as such. He wanders the grounds for a bit, looking for just about anybody who'd have an idea of what the heck just happened to him.]

 Zuko had woken up this morning feeling... a little bit out of sorts. He couldn't really explain it. He just felt different. Colder, like his inner fire had gone out and he couldn't stoke it again. But that was silly, because there's no way that could happen. Besides, it was getting cool now with the season change, so that was probably it. 

He hadn't noticed the light that had settled upon him last night. Nor did he know about the barrier having fallen. Yet.

Getting ready for the day, with his mask on, Zuko went out into the wilds for his daily morning firebending practice. Once he was in his usual secluded spot, Zuko took the mask off again and began his warm up exercises. As he went through the motions, the usual warmth and fire that should appear... didn't. He paused and scowled deeply. Something... wasn't right. 

He tried again.

Nothing. 

Now he was starting to get worried. With a few yells accompanied with some kicks and punches, he was dismayed when no fire appeared at all. Not even a hint of it. 

This was bad.

Really bad.

This was even worse than when he had 'lost his stuff' after joining sides with Aang. Even then he could at least create little wisps of flame and some smoke. But this... nothing happened at all!

He tried one more time. Still no fire. But then he heard the ripple of a small pond right next to him. Zuko froze instantly. He was here alone, wasn't he? Turning around, he looked around for someone else. Probably a waterbender.

"Show yourself!" he shouted with a side swipe of his arm as he turned again. ... And the water moved once more. What? Looking down at the pond, he then moved his arms again, and stared in mixed amazement and horror as he began to... Bend. The. Water.

And then the wilds would echo with Zuko's cry.

"WHAAAAAT?!"

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"

[Closed to Lord Zuko]

Later, a masked figure was running through the streets of the high class section of Republic City. Going up the steps and to the door of the Fire Nation style house where his older counterpart was living. Completely ignoring anyone that tried to stop him. 

There he was banged on the door with his fist with the utmost urgency!

As soon as it was clear the barrier was gone, Korra and Jinora had jumped into action. They let all relevant people--Aang, Bumi, Wan, Lord Zuko--know that they would be gone for a little while, and then immediately set about preparations.

Korra checked in with Naga one more time before tossing her pack onto Oogi's saddle and accepting another pack from one of the air acolytes--it was no doubt filled with carefully wrapped food for the journey. She checked that before finding a place for it on the saddle, too. They'd rushed through the packing, aware that the barrier might reform at any time and trap them in the city yet again. If they wanted to check the Spirit World for clues, they needed to do it now.

"Hey, Jinora?" Korra called out as she jumped down lightly. "Ready to go when you are."
