AN: The start to a collection of one shots of Korra, Iroh, and co.'s adventures in Republic City, or, Why The City Should Never be a Tourist Trap.
...
He had been bored recently, especially since the return of what was left of Republic City's government from the South Pole- thankfully everyone was recovered. Because of the dire position Amon's revolution had left them in, General Iroh had no choice but to put the city under Martial Law until Tenzin and Avatar Korra returned to create the council again.
It was lucky for him that he saw an opportunity to have a little fun while waiting for his newest orders. Avatar Korra was going through the Wind Fan Obstacle Course looking lighter than air and grinning in a way that made wrinkles appear on the edges of her face. This wasn't the same avatar that desperately fished him out of Yue Bay. She was just about to end the tunnel when he made his move.
Slowly Iroh crept up and punched a fireball at the Avatar- she was not unaware. In the briefest of second her eyes opened and a high kick took the fire into the air. He shifted to right dominant side for the follow up, but her large hand already had a grasp on his elbow before anything else could happen.
Avatar Korra smirked at him before tossing him into the Fans and back kicked another fire shot at him. He wasn't the General for nothing, through, and shrugged off the flame to his sides.
That's when they started smelling the smoke. Avatar Korra looked rather panicked.
"Tenzin's going to kill me." Iroh looked around him and agreed. When he had been thrown into crashed down at least four fans and another three were starting to smoulder.
"I believe this calls for a tactical retreat, Avatar Korra?" She nodded when Tenzin's unmutable screams started calling for her. Fast as air, she grabbed him again and dragged him down to the docks at a breakneck speed in order to get to o the mainland of the city.
"KORRA!"
...
"So how long are you going to be in Republic City for?" They were trotting around the city on the back of Naga, watching some of the restoration of the city when they came by the park and she stopped.
There was a street orator there ripping down the few Amon signs that were still around and wilting under Korra's glare. They started to ride again.
"Officially my mission here will be over once Republic City is stable again. That is, the council and police force have been filled. Otherwise it's your call." She turned and looked at him.
"My call?" He nodded and explained.
"Technically as the Avatar you have the power, same as Republic City and the other Nations, to call for the United Armies to come to your aid. Since it was your call and not Councilmen Tenzin's...we're yours, for now."
"Hmm." He saw that she had a darker than evil grin on her face and trembled for a second.
"Do you like to dance, General Iroh?"
"Somehow, I am guessing you don't mean in the ballroom."
