#the idea of the drakes being airbenders and aloof and dead is vaguely helpful

Tim is the avatar, found by Dick and Babs in the iceberg.

Jason is the adoptive oldest grandson of Firelord Ra’s and Damian is his youngest brother. Damian has two attendants/friends, Cass and Stephanie.

When Bruce was young his parents took him on a diplomatic trip to the southern water tribe. They were caught in a fire nation raid and killed. So when he returned to the northern water tribe he grew up in the shadow of their loss. When he was old enough, he went out looking to train in combat, and what better place than in the fire nation? The land of his enemies?

There he met Alfred, a soldier with a notable military history, who offered to teach him how to fight benders, as a non-bender himself. They mutually adopt each other in a stilted sort of way.

Both receive invitations to a circus performance and witness a terrible thing that results in Bruce adopting Dick, another non-bender from the earth kingdom.

The little rag-tag group continue their training and before long start to notice someone watching their sessions.

A small little fire bender is eventually caught trying to steal from their training weapons. This is how they come to meet Jason.

During on of their training sessions, Bruce is noticed by the princess of the fire nation, Talia al-Ghul. They have a brief dalliance until it is discovered Bruce is water tribe and he tries to escape with Dick and Jason.

In the escape, Jason is stolen and presumed dead.

In fact, Alfred and Talia save the boy and Alfred is appointed his attendant. Shortly after, Talia gives birth to Damian.

Damian grows up around other fire nation children, often spending time with Cassandra and Stephanie, whose parents are prominent fire nation generals.

Jason is eventually banished by Ra’s for speaking out against a plan during a meeting that results in his Agni Kai.

Meanwhile, Bruce and Dick had returned to the northern water tribe to make a case for sending aid to the southern water tribe. When their pleas fall on deaf ears, they travel south themselves to see the leader of the southern water tribe, Jim Gordon.

While staying with the southern water tribe, Dick and Babs basically become siblings. Especially after their fathers join forces to launch an assault against the fire nation.

While waiting for their return, they go fishing and discover Tim in an iceberg.

The three form a plan to get Tim teachers in all of the bending forms and discover that Jason has been sent after the avatar.

Thus begins the cat and mouse story of the three siblings running around the globe in search of teachers. As well as the chase that is carried out by Jason and Damian in trying to find the avatar.

Side note: I can’t figure out who should be Toph. Although Yue or Suki could be Kori (or Wally if you like birdflash). I want to stick to most of the characters having platonic/sibling relationships instead of trying to layer in romantic ones from both narratives. Also, Jason and Dick’s ages would have to be fudged to make this coherent. You could also make Clark the leader of the northern water tribe and have Kon be Yue if you shift the romance plot to Tim.
