Hi guys sorry for the long wait I was busy but here it is. First and foremost I don't know anything about being a gangster so this is my version of what they do and how they act. This will include characters from ATLA I apologize for the grammar and spelling mistakes. Thanks for reading.
Korra jolted awake, panting heavily and sweating. After nine years Korra still had the same nightmare. Her friend dying in her arms while she frantically calls for help.
"Still having the same nightmare?" Korra looks up to find Azula, the women who's been her guardian since joining the gang of the Red Lotus, standing by her door.
"Yeah" Korra said as she grabs the towel that she always kept in her drawer to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"You should try going to my therapy session."
"Nope. No more Azula's lightning session. Last time I went my right hand got burned and it stung like shit for a whole week!"
"What happened to the guy you brought home?" Azula said noticing a boxer on the floor before flinging it to Korra's face.
"Ew gross" Korra quickly pulled the boxers off her face and threw it out the open window. "I threw him out after he gave me like two orgasms which took like forever. That guy sucked in bed, I don't even know why I took him home" Korra grimaced at the memory of the guy grunting, more like howling, on top of her.
"Well I hope you have some energy left because Zaheer has a job for you" Korra groaned. It was too early to go beat up some stupid guys for not paying for the drugs they ordered.
"Hurry up Mako and Bolin are already downstairs" Azula said before heading out of Korra's room.
Korra got out of bed to do fifty push-ups and curls ups in under five minutes before heading to the shower. After showering Korra puts on the same outfit she always wear every time she went on runs. A white v neck t-shirt, black skinny jeans, her worn out army boots and of course her gang's trademark black jacket with a red lotus picture imprinted on the back.
"What sup boys?" Korra said punching both Bolin's and Mako's shoulder who were waiting by the car.
"Just waiting for you" Bolin said smiling back at Korra. Mako on the other hand was a little irritated. They were going to be late, again.
"Wipe that scowl off your face Mako. We're going to get there in time" Mako just glared at Korra in response while he got in the driver seat while Korra got in the passenger seat and Bolin on the back.
"So how was your day Korra?"
"Bo the day just started" Mako said as he started the car and drove to their destination.
"I think he meant yesterday" Korra said chuckling at Bolin's silliness. Bolin wasn't as smart as them, but Korra finds it's cute.
"We were with you the whole day yesterday and the day before that."
"Oh right I forgot" Bolin said scratching the back of his neck. "Oh how about this? When are you moving out of Azula's apartment?"
"Now that's a good question" Mako took a peek at Korra.
"To be honest I like being around Azula even though she's a pain in my ass" Korra smirked as she looked out the window remembering how Zaheer had to forcefully make Azula her guardian.
Azula didn't want to be some kid's babysitter although Korra thought of herself as a young adult since, even though she was just ten years old. Zaheer had forced the both of them to sit on a table to get to know each other. However all they did was stare and glare at each other. After a couple of minutes of staring into each other souls Azula went to grab her phone but she couldn't find it anywhere until she looked up to a smirking Korra waving her phone. Azula tried to take it back but Korra was too fast and just like that Azula began to take a liking to Korra.
"She's a pain in everybody's assess and she's evil" Mako said chuckling.
"No she's not. I like Azula" Bolin said.
"Yeah she is but Azula is like a family to me I can't leave her alone."
"Awww" Bolin coed.
"Or is it the opposite" Mako smirked at Korra knowing he got her. Korra just shook her head and continued looking out the window. She never wanted to admit but Azula was practically her mom.
"I still remember when we first saw you. You were practically at Azula's side all the time."
"Now she's the baddest gangster in the Red Lotus!"
"Yeah and because of that were on probation. After what happened Zaheer had told us to lay low and not do anything stupid that will pissed the other gangs or else."
"I didn't know it would end in a gang war!" Korra said throwing her hands up.
Korra's anger had gotten out of hand that she had punched Lightning Bolt Zolt's, the Triple Threat gang's leader, son which lead to a gang war between the two rivaling gang. In the end six red lotus gang members died while the triple threat lost ten.
"In my defense I had no idea that it was his son, I mean Lightning Bolt Zolt had fucked so many women and gotten them pregnant that any kid in the area could have been his son."
"No Korra you weren't thinking. Instead of using your head you use your fist instead. You're very impulsive, Korra. You might be good at what we do but your impulsiveness is your weakness."
"Whatever" Korra huffed and buried herself in the seat.
"Alright we're here" Mako said as he parks the car.
They were in one of the shipping docks outside of Republic City.
"Ok so our job is to deliver the drugs to the buyer, collect the payment and bring it back to the compound. If the buyer refuses to pay we torture him and ask for more money or we kill him, take all his money and bring the drugs back to the compound so we could resell it. Got it."
"Yeah yeah we got it" Korra said leaning on the car and looking at their shipment. "I don't get why you always need to explain the job, we do this all the time."
"Yeah it's going to be easy Peasey" Bolin said first bumping Korra.
"I just want to make sure it goes according to plan" Korra just shrugged she knew arguing with Mako would be pointless.
As they made their way to the ship Korra noticed a couple of gangs, the Triple Threat and the Red Monsoon, also making their own deals. Korra stared them down hoping to scare them off but Mako pulled Korra by her collar.
"Leave them. We have our own shit to do. Bolin go get the drugs inside."
Bolin made his way inside the ship while Mako and Korra stayed outside. The two gang eyed each other until Bolin came out with 2 twenty kilos sack of drugs. The trio then made their way back to their car.
"What do you think they're doing in our turf?" Korra said as they drove to the buyer's home.
"I'm not sure but as long as they're not interfering with our business then I guess we should just let them be" Mako didn't want to get to any unnecessary altercations.
"I mean we also hang out in their turf and they don't bother us" Bolin added.
"I just feel like they're up to something."
"Shake it off Korra."
The deal was a success, there weren't any problems at all. No one tried to intercept and steal the drugs for and the buyer had accepted the amount that was offered.
"Thank you Mr. Akagi, it was a pleasure doing business with you" Mako said as he shook hands with Mr. Akagi. Bolin handed one of the bags containing the drugs to one of Mr. Akagi's men while Korra took the money.
"Alright let's go. Off to the next client!" Bolin said excitedly. Before they got in car Korra noticed a black van pull up next to Mr. Akagi.
"Woah Mako hold up" Korra grabbed both of Mako's and Bolin's arm stopping them in their tracks.
"Oh shit isn't that the Triple Threats" Bolin said. He instantly recognized the gang's insignia on their jacket a lightning bolt.
"We need to do something" Korra ran back to Mr. Akagi but hallway through Mako had catch up to her stopping her.
"No Korra don't!" Mako said tugging on Korra's arm harshly.
"Look at them Mako their taking our client we can't let them do that! If we do then they will take everybody leaving us with nothing. We need to show them who's the number one gang. Plus wouldn't it be fun to beat some triple threats. Also Zaheer would be proud of us." Korra said trying to reason with Mako.
"Korra you know Zaheer is proud you. You're practically a daughter to him but…"
As soon as Korra heard the word 'but' she rolled her eyes, pried her hand off of Mako's hold and made a break way.
"Korra!" Mako screamed getting frustrated. Bolin just shrugged and followed Korra. After contemplating, whether to leave or help them, for a while Mako finally decided to help. Bolin was his brother and Korra was like a sister to him.
"Hey!" Korra screamed and got the attention of the Triple Threats and Mr. Akagi.
There were five Triple threats, three of them were out of the van while two were still in it. Korra thought that this would be an easy fight unless Mr. Akgi's men tries to join in but by the looks of it Mr. Akagi didn't want any trouble he was backing away and hiding behind his three guards.
"Look Korra we…" one of the Triple Threats, Fen, tried to speak but Korra interrupted them.
"Mr. Akagi is our client so back off before I give you the beating of a lifetime" Korra said cracking her knuckles by then Mako and Bolin had reached Korra and stood beside her ready to take action.
"Yes we know but we have the right to do business here I'm sure Zaheer has told you about the little arrangement the Red Lotus and Triple Threats made."
Korra raised an eyebrow at this before looking at Mako. She's sure that if anyone knew about things like this it would be Mako. Mako shook his head no, he didn't remember hearing anything about it.
"No he hasn't so why do I feel like you guys are lying to us?" Korra said as she crossed her arms.
Fen sighed before walking up to Korra "See this is what Zaheer gets for letting kids in his stupid little gang."
"What did you just say?" Korra said stepping forward getting face to face with Fen while Bolin and Mako got ready to fight.
"Why don't you run along and let us do our business here" Fen said poking Korra on her chest.
Korra just laughed before giving Fen a right hook to his face. As soon as Fen hit the ground guns were drawn from both side. Mako quickly slid behind a statue while Bolin and Korra took cover behind a tree. Mr. Akagi didn't stick around and left after hearing the first gunshot. Fen struggled to get up but his friends quickly pulled him to safety behind the van before Bolin could have shot him.
"Mako!" Korra yelled over the gunfire.
Mako looked over to Korra who gestured with her hands. Mako understood, Korra wanted him to sneak behind them while Bolin and she stayed behind to give him cover.
As Mako maneuvered around the triple threat without getting detected Korra and Bolin took turns firing at the van. When Bolin would need to reload Korra would fire and vice versa. Korra had managed to kill one of the men inside the van and injured another on the leg before Mako finally got behind the triple threats.
"Hands up or get your heads blown off" Mako said pointing an AK-64 at the backs of the four men.
The triple threats surrendered, they placed their guns on the floor before putting their hands over their heads. Korra and Bolin then made their way over to them and tied them up.
"You guys got this all wrong I told you the Triple Threats and the Red Lotus had a deal!" Fen said trying to convince Korra.
"Yeah whatever" Korra said as she gagged all of them.
"Korra you take the van back to our warehouse while Bolin and I finish up with the runs and then meet up at…"
Before Mako could finish two more cars came up the driveway. The three of them pointed their guns at cars. When they noticed that it was one of theirs they quickly drew their guns away.
Zaheer walked out the Korra and Korra quickly went to his side. She was excited to tell him of what they did, she was sure Zaheer would be proud of her. However instead of a well done Korra was pushed hard against the van by her chest.
"Zahe…" Korra tried to get out but Zaheer shoved her harder keeping Korra on the side of the van.
"The only thing you should be doing right now is keeping your mouth shut" Zaheer said keeping her hold on Korra. Korra looked at Zaheer not understanding what was happening as Lightning Bolt Zolt and a few of his guys came out of the other van.
"But…" Zaheer glared at Korra and she knew that she needed to keep her mouth shut, now.
Zaheer turned around to face Zolt who was looking furiously at Korra. "Look I'm sorry about all this."
"No! We had a deal Zaheer" Zolt said marching straight up to Zaheer. "Now one of my men are dead. If this is how you work then the deal is off!"
"I'm sorry that one of your men died but I assure that this won't happen again" Zaheer said looking at Korra who nodded.
"No that's not enough. I don't want to be working with incompetent people who can't control themselves."
"Fine" Zaheer said agreeing to Zolt without hesitation. Zolt smirked at Korra.
"Wait…what does this mean?" Korra said getting a little nervous.
"As of right now you are no longer part of the Red Lotus."
"What?" Korra said her voice breaking. She couldn't believe it, she didn't want to leave the gang. It was the only thing she had and being a gangster was the only thing she does best.
"Only until I think you're worthy enough to come back. Korra you're impulsive, you don't think things through and most importantly you don't listen. Once you get your shit together then you can come back. Azula I trust you can handle the job."
Korra didn't even notice Azula until now. When Korra looked at Azula she knew she was in big trouble because Azula had that smile she dreaded when she was just a kid. Azula nodded she was going to love her new job.
"That's not enough" Zolt said. Both Korra and Zaheer turned their gaze over the Triple Threat's leader. "I want you to punish her for killing one of my men" Lightning Bolt said and his gang cheered in agreement.
Zaheer sighed before letting go of his hold on Korra.
"Remember it's not personal" Zaheer said before breaking Korra's right arm. Korra screamed in pain as her bone snapped in two or maybe shattered into a million pieces. She doesn't know but it hurts like shit. Bolin closed his eyes and placed both his hands over his ears to muffle Korra's scream while Mako flinched and grimaced.
Korra fell to the ground clutching her broken arm as a tears escaped from her eyes.
"Happy" Zaheer said his tone still the same as before.
Zolt gave one final smirk to Korra before walking back to his car "Very and the deal is still on."
As soon as the car left Zaheer dropped down to Korra's level to cup Korra's left cheek.
"I'm sorry I had to do that but this deal is important" Korra looked away as she clutched her arm tighter.
Korra had seen Zaheer hurt some of his own gang members from screwing up but she never thought he would actually hurt her. There was this one time were he almost hit her but he would always stop midway. She thought they had this bond that was stronger than blood well that's what he would always say but now she was beginning to doubt that.
Zaheer drew his hand away from Korra before standing up.
"Korra I still care about you and you are still my daughter remember that. You are good at what you do and you're loyal to us and I appreciate that but you need to learn your lesson. Azula she's all yours make sure…"
"Don't worry I'll make sure she gets her shit together" Azula said. Zaheer nodded before leaving them.
"Hey Korra you ok?" Bolin said as he moved over to Korra and hugged her gently. Mako did the same and placed a comforting hand over Korra's shoulder.
Korra just nodded before standing back up and wiping her tears. Shear determination was written all over her face and her badass persona came back.
"I'm fine. What do I have to do to?" Korra was willing to do anything to get back in and prove to Zaheer what she's capable of.
"Well let's see" Azula said rubbing her chin "Where do incompetent kids like you go to learn about the world and how to be responsible?
Both Mako and Bolin shrugged while Korra just kept a stern face.
Azula smiled deviously.
"I'm sending you to college."
"What?" at this Korra's badass persona fell and panic began to settle in.
"Um it's just Korra right because technically we didn't do anything wrong" Mako said pointing to himself and Bolin. Praying to whatever God there is that Azula was only talking to Korra.
"Nope you three are going to college."
"WHAT?" Mako and Korra both yelled at the same time.
While Bolin gasped placing both his hand over his mouth "You are Evil."
