First Fanfic everrr, Im makorra shipper so thats why its makorra. English is not my native language so try to ignore the mistakes please..
So this story was kind of in my head for a few weeks after reading some stories on fanfiction. Hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra! Otherwise there would be makorra from the start and book 2 would be already on the air :)
Korra POV
'Ugh! I don't want to go, Asami! Please let me stay here, at home.' I actually couldn't believe she was forcing me to go to this stupid and absolutely boring appointment.
'Shut up and listen to me! This isn't a joke, Korra! This is the real deal. Imagine what you could make with this, if you would get the job.' Asami said. I know it was a big deal, I mean not every mercenary was invited by the council of Republic City, but I just didn't feel like going.
'Okay, I'll go. You happy now?' I said, kind of annoyed how she could persuade me so easily.
'Oh yeah, I'm very happy. So, we have to go shopping for you meeting with the council' She said with a bit too much enthusiasm for my part.
'Why? Its just a meeting.'
'What did you say? This isn't just a meeting, this is the council we're talking about for Pete's sake!'
'Whatever. I'm just gonna go in my normal attire, nothing fancy'
'Okay, that's fine with me but only if you promise me to put on some make-up'
'Why?! I'm a mercenary, not a princess. So, I'm not gonna wear make-up. I'm supposed to look fearful and fierce, not fancy and girly' I said, trying to make my point and talk her out of this nonsense.
'If you're not gonna wear make-up, then I will pick out a lovely outfit for you to wear'
'Okay, but just mascara, no blush or other crap. Deal?!'
'Deal!'
THE NEXT DAY
'Welcome Ms Korra'
'Hey, btw it's just Korra. I don't like to whole Ms.'
'Okay than, lets start with the meeting' a older man said.
I still can't believe I'm here, with mascara on my face. I looked around the room. Before was a table with five persons at it. I recognized only one of them, Tarlok. He was from the Water Tribe, just like me. Even if he was Northern and not Southern like me, I had some sort of connection with the guy. I actually didn't find the rest interesting so I immediately turned to the other side of the table where a older man was sitting in an Air Nomad attire. I did not catch his name but I heard some things about councilman Tenzin, son of the Amazing Avatar Aang. I believe that he was this Tenzin. He had a funny looking beard. I chuckled.
'Excuse me, do you find something amusing?' asked the Air Nomad.
'Yeah. Your beard. What's your name?' I replied.
'Uhm' he stood up. 'I am councilman Tenzin. Son of Avatar Aang-'
'Okay, just wanted to know your name, not all of that gibberish with it' I interrupted.
'Uh, okay' He said, looking kind of shocked. I guess he wasn't interrupted a lot of times in his life.
'Yeah. So?' I asked followed by an awkward silence.
'What do you mean, Korra?' Tarlok asked me.
'What is this whole meeting about? I mean I hope you have some sort of good reason to have come over to the council hall?!'
'Oh yes, we do. Well, we think we do.' Tenzin said.
'So, what is it about?'
'We need you help' Tarlok said.
'I kind of figured that already out. I'm not dumb you know'
'No. No. We never assumed you were but uh…'
'Ugh. Just spit it out already!' I was getting annoyed by the slow pace of this meeting.
'Okay, we want you to help us ending the crime on the streets of Republic City.'
'And how am I supposed to help you?'
'Well, you are the most powerful bender we know, except for the Avatar but we still haven't figured out who that is so we have to do it with you.' Tenzin said.
'Well thank you for the compliment' I said with an obvious sarcastic tone.
'Uhm, you- are- wel –come- I- guess' Tenzin stuttered. Boy, he did not get sarcasm at all, I already figured out that.
'So what do you want me to do?' I asked, I was actually curious now.
'We want you to take out the leader of the Triple Triads. We thought after Lighting Bolt Zolt died, peace would return on the streets and the Triple Triads would end. But we were wrong… So wrong!'
'So now you want me to kill the new leader?' I guessed.
'Yes, his name is Mako. He leads the Triads together with his brother but only Mako has to be killed, we don't see his brother as a thread because he is barely active in the underworld of Republic City.' The Fire Nation woman said.
'Okay, doesn't seem too difficult. What's my reward?'
'We will grant you immunity from the law, you will get a house in the upper ring of Republic City and we will give you one million yuans for your services'
'Wow! Okay, I'll do it. Without a doubt.' I replied eagerly. I could already see me sitting in a huge mansion, with a butler. And I could do whatever I wanted because that stuck-up police chief Bei Fong could not touch me with a finger. I smiled.
'There is one thing' Tenzin quickly added. 'It cannot come out that you work for the council. If you get caught by the triads or someone else, you cannot tell anyone, understand?'
'Understood, sir!' I replied giggly.
'Then the meeting is hereby ended'
I sprinted away. I just couldn't wait to tell Asami what had happened during the meeting. Also I couldn't wait to get started with my mission. Being a mercenary has its dangers but it are the missions like this one that makes it nice.
Chapter one. What do you think?! Review if you want me to continue with this story. Love you guys!
