What's the Worst That Could Happen?

Jet has never seen a more Fire Nation girl in his life.

Okay, there's the gold-eyed bitch who absconded with Lee earlier. But his dick wanted to curl up and hide from her. This girl, though? Oh, his dick definitely wants to curl up and hide, if you know what he's saying.

Because, really? A girl with that many knives? A girl with that many knives deserves a real man to show her a good time, not some pansy-ass Fire Nation guy who probably can't go more than three or four times in a night. A girl with that many knives deserves a man who can go for at least half a dozen rounds and more if she's still up for it.

Jet's not actually sure if he wouldn't be begging for mercy by round eight, but he'll burn that bridge when he comes to it.

"Hey," he says, hoisting himself up over the windowsill. He jerks his head to the side with a grin as a three senbon needles go outside. "Good shot."

"Not good enough," she growls, and he has to duck another spray of needles.

He comes up grinning, though part of him is really tempted to draw his swords. It'd be easy to snag her dress on the hooks, rip it open, press close to her, and purr in her ear... He bet her skin was scorching hot. Lee's had been.

'Course, drawing his swords would probably make her seriously try to kill him, instead of half-assing it like she currently is.

"So, you got anything planned between now and when the bitch-queen gets back?" He asks, because it's as good a lead-in as any. Though, seriously, he's blaming the fact that he's trying to pick up a Fire Nation girl on Lee. Definitely Lee and not at all her gleaming black hair or her pale eyes or her pretty mouth. Definitely not the challenge of making her expression tighten with ecstasy.

...

Okay, he's blaming the Dai Li and the mindbending too.

She probably isn't a screamer. Which is a good thing because he so does not want to deal with guards right now.

"Why?" She asks, eyes narrowing in suspicion. A longer, heavier knife drops down into her hands.

He grins and tries not to think of how fun "disarming" her would be. "How well do you know this palace? There's a lot of ways in and out that I bet none of you Firefolk know a thing about."

She raises an eyebrow. "And you are offering...?"

"Come explore." Jet holds a hand out to her.

"With you." She sounds unimpressed. "A strange Earth Kingdom boy who just climbed in my window."

"Yep."

"... I should kill you."

"Backatcha."

"Do you ever stop grinning?"

Jet's grin widens. "Well, if you want to find out, you're going to have to come with me."

He twists on the windowsill and slides off, half-running down the side of the palace as fast as he possibly can until he tumbles onto a lower balcony. Then he hops over that, catches hold of a garden trellis, and clambers down into the gardens.

The Fire Nation girl follows him.

"You're crazy," she says levelly. Then her mouth curves very slightly into a smile. "But not boring."

... yeah, this is my favorite take of Mai/Jet in ever.

Mai/Jet really has a lot of potential to be fun. Have seen all the "fight over Zuko and HAAAAAATE each other" ones to tide me over for a few years, though. It needed to go someplace different for me.
