Hello everyone this is my first hurt and comfortish story please review I have gone to a lot of trouble to write this story such as sitting an hour on the internet reasearching torture methods and looking through two medical books and I have done a medical course so..yeah.. enjoy.
Warning: Torture included all of which are really done in reality. Not for the squemish.
I don't own Legend of Korra.
Can't be broken
Chapter 1
Through dimly lit rooms and prison cells a former Chief of Police was dragged to Amon's interrogation room. Not like she did want to be dragged everywhere, but her cut feet wouldn't allow her to walk her anywhere any time soon.
That monster will try anything to get her to say where the Avatar was, but no avail. As they walked further from her cell she could feel the cuts on her feet opening again and the stinging pain returning.
When they arrived Lin was roughly shoved to her knees before the equalists' leader.
Coolly and with no emotion at all he said. "It seems that your previous whipping had not worked at all. Like I promised. For giving us a false location of the Avatar's hiding you will be granted unbelievable torture."
"Then so be it." Lin sighed and looked him in the face. "I won't talk and you won't break me."
A smile tugged Amon's lips from behind his mask. "And how sure are you of that?"
At their saviour's command the chi blockers led the woman to her usual room where the torturing usually takes place.
"You are only trouble and it is trouble that need to be removed." Amon said behind her.
Cautiously Hiroshi Sato brought a package with him the contents inside unknown. Lin was blindfolded so she didn't see the mysterious weapon. She heard a click and her eyes shot wide open with realization. The has been bender gulped and tried to escape her captors hold.
"Oh so you recognize that sound." He said sounding rather interested. "I suppose the secret is out." In a blood thirsty tone he said. "You are going to be executed..."
Lin only thrashed more and managed to knock on chi blocker and escape the other's grip. On instinct she ran blindfolded completely unaware where she was heading. For a second...just a second she thought that she would somehow get away.
The feeling was short lived though when she felt the excruciating pain of an electrical glove against her also whipped back. Soon her mind faded into un contioness...
When she opened her eyes again there was still darkness and she was still confused if she was truly awake. The sound of cheering equalists confirmed that suspicion.
When the former Chief realized that she was tied to a pole blindfolded she did what any non-bender would do try and squirm free. She only managed to let the ropes cut her wrists.
"Today." Amon said in his deep booming voice. "We get rid of one of our biggest threats. Hahahaha. So Chief Beifong have any last words."
She only turned her head away feeling a great amount of failure. The clicking noise was closer this time the gun was next to her head! Lin's worry became more as well did the cheering of blood thirst equalists.
It went off! The loud banging noise of the weapon were in her ears. Out of the fear she couldn't contain any more Lin Beifong screamed. She screamed till her voice became hoarse.
From a cold and dark room beneath the roads of Republic City Lin screamed herself awake. She was shivering from both fear and from freezing. Sleeping in a blanket-less steel framed bed with only a wet, blood soaked tank top and shorts she was surprised she fell asleep at all.
"It...it's...ok Lin." She tried to comfort herself. "It was only a-a...mock execution."
She was only a couple of days here and their torturing methods became more lethal mentally and physically.
"Spirits...Korra end that...damn mad man." She prayed that someone...anyone would free her from her pain.
'I am Lin Beifong.' She would tell herself. 'No one can break me.', but as the days went by she wasn't so sure.
One week after Amon's defeat
"We should've gone back for her. We shouldn't have gone to the South Pole without her." Tenzin said looking into the horizon. The sun was just rising from where they were. On a ship of course heading to repair their beloved City.
"Tenzin I'm sure Lin would understand. Rohan was getting really ill. You did the right thing taking him and us to the South Pole to get healed right after Amon escaped." Korra comforted the worried mentor. "And if she is hurt we have Katara with us she is the best healer in the world." The Avatar tried to be hopeful.
"I hope your right."
"Of course I'm right I am the Avatar!" The seventeen year old gloated ignoring Tenzin's annoyed look. After one day without her bending Korra was going crazy and was doubting herself she couldn't imagine how Lin felt. Bending was her whole life it is on big part of her personality.
"Hey little bro we will be in Republic City in an hour or so." Bumi informed Tenzin with a crazy grin on his face.
He nodded with his usual serious expression. Bumi would know that his brother was usually a serious man, but to him he seemed a bit depressed.
"Tenzin. She will be fine. This is Lin Bad-Ass Beifong we are talking about." He to tried to get his brother to relax a little.
What felt like a life time for Korra they had arrived in Republic City. The weather was nice and the sun was shining...surely that must be a good sign...right?
"Ah how I miss you Republic City!" Bolin declared happily as he, Mako, Korra, Tenzin, Pema, Ikki, Jinora, Meelo, Katara, Asami and Bumi walked from the ship to solid ground.
"I'm going to go and look for Chief Beifong." Korra declared.
"Korra wait this isn't something you should do alone." Katara stopped her in her tracks. "She's right I'm coming with you." Mako said standing by her side and so the gang accompanied by Katara, Tenzin and Bumi head into the built in underground cells of the big City. Remembering the tunnels and turns of the equalists underground training camps and cells Tenzin safely led them to the prisons. Now that after exposing Amon was a fraud the equalists were brought under control...well most of them.
"Which road leads to Lin's prison?" Tenzin asked eying each aisle between the metal cages.
"This one." Korra randomly picked one and ran down the metal floor. After running a while she slowed down for the others to catch up.
"Mind waiting next time for us to catch up." Mako said breathing heavily.
"Shhhh." Korra hushed him.
"I was just saying." He said a bit angry.
"Quiet Mako a thought I heard something." She hushed him again.
"What is it?" Tenzin asked hopeful all of the sudden.
Korra walked a bit further turning to see motionless figure hugging its knees it was Lin!
"Lin!" Korra exclaimed happily. With her earthbending she budged the bars making a big enough space to get through. Everyone just stood there waiting for some kind of reaction.
Slowly Lin turned her head around it wasn't the normal irritated or proud expression no, she only looked tired and...sad.
Tenzin entered the cell happy to see his best friend and first lover again. He was expecting for her to stand up and give him a hug or mock him or something to annoy him.
As if on instinct despite the pain Lin stood up as fast as she could manage and ran towards Tenzin. He was going for a hug and she was giving him a punch in the face knocking him on the floor.
She punched him again and again. Tenzin's face began to bleed from the severe force. There was nothing in her eyes except hatred and rage. "Tenzin!" Bumi screamed coming to defend his brother by standing between the two.
"Lin.." She froze seeing the familiar, but also so strange man in front of her. She thought that she knew him, but dismissed the thought completely.
"Don't you remember it's us we came to get you out of here." He said soothingly. "It's okay no one is going to hurt you." He took a step closer holding out his hand.
Remembering all the torture she has been through she took this as an act to harm her. Slowly she took his hand.
Bumi smiled a bit feeling glad he had found his friend it was short lived though.
In a lightning quick reflex she grabbed his arm and snapped the bone with her knee breaking it like a stick. He could see his bone sticking out of his torn and bleeding flesh. In total shock he staggered back.
Without hesitating Korra climbed in as well determinate to save both men.
"Korra no!" Katara and Mako screamed simultaneously. "Korra get out of there now!" Mako demanded.
She simply ignored them and slowly walked towards Lin.
Lin looked at the girl looking a bit confused. "K...Korra?" She stuttered. "Your...alive?"
Unknowing how to react she answered unsurely. "Yes, I'm fine, but..."
"How did you escape?" She practically screamed.
"Escaped what do you mean?" Korra asked sounding interested also afraid at the same time.
"You...I saw you...they...he killed you." She pointed towards Tenzin on the ground. The power from Lin's adrenaline rush faded and she could feel the pain of her limbs returning. It was unbearable and she found herself gasping for air and holding tightly onto her bed frame. Not wanting to hurt her feet more she went down on her knees regretting it when a stab of pain came from her ribs.
"Lin!" Katara hurried towards her niece.
"...Aunt Katara." She mumbled tiredly while gritting her teeth. She felt her ribs cracking and the last thing she saw was dark red blood pooling around her before falling back into darkness.
