She was pounded into the ground, earth cracking beneath her. She could feel the wind coming from her lungs, but it wasn't Zaheer this time. It was Kuvira. "I defeated you," Korra panted. "This isn't real. You can't bend air. You ca-" she gasped in an effort to take in a breath.

"You thought you defeated me," she snarled. "Raava has abandoned you." Kuvira's eyes began to glow and she lifted the mountain to slam into Korra. She couldn't breath, she couldn't-

Korra woke with a yell that spit fire across the room. Sweat coated her skin, and she raised it off her skin with a flick of her finger.

Korra lay tense on her bed, unable to get to sleep. She heard the walls creaking around her and tried to shift back into a comfortable position. Just when she thought she was drifting off, Noga whined. Korra groaned and sat up. She heard footsteps outside her door.

The nightmare still in her mind, she lit the oil lamp with a spark. "Korra?" she heard Asami's voice. "Can I come in?"

"Go ahead," Korra said. The doorknob turned and Asami walked in. "I suppose you couldn't sleep either?"

"Nightmares," Asami admitted. "It's my dad. It's always been my dad."

"Kuvira," Korra muttered. "I keep dreaming that... that she's still a threat. That she took Raava from me." Asami sat on the bed next to Korra and slipped her arm around Korra's waist. Korra rested her head on Asami's shoulder. "I still feel weak sometimes. I mean, I'm back at it! I should feel happy. People trust me to be the avatar again. But maybe they shouldn't."

"You're a great avatar. And you're an amazing person. You'll keep training. You'll be even better than you were before all of this."

"I hope," Korra said with a scowl.

"Hey," Asami said. "Lighten up."

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who has to keep saving the world." Korra hunched over, and Asami's hand slid to her back.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, then Korra asked, "What do you see in your future?"

"Huh?" Asami said, looking at her. "Well... hopefully I can get future industries back on its feet. I'd like to travel the world- I know, we've already been to so many places, but I want to see more." she didn't know what else to say, so they sat in awkward silence for a moment.

"I keep trying to make plans for the future. But I keep thinking about my duties as an avatar. I can't ever truly settle down. There will always be another person threatening the balance of the world, and I'll always have to fight them."

"Well you don't have to fight them right now," Asami said firmly. "I think we both need to get some sleep. Things will seem better in the morning."

Korra groaned. "I don't know if I can."

"Just try. Please," Asami said. Korra flopped down on the bed and drew the blankets around her. "I'll see you in the morning," Asami said.

"Please don't," Korra said. "I just feel..." Korra rolled onto her side. "I don't know."

Asami gave a small smile and lay down next to Korra. "Go to sleep." Korra curled up, pressed against Asami's comforting warmth. "Good night, Korra," Asami whispered.

"Night, Asami."
