Lost in the Echo

Summary: _

from I never wanted to know you" to I was fated to love you" Korra and Asami where meant to be from day one.

All encounters are inevitable, as we live our lives the paths of humans do not cross by mere chance. so our meetings on any given day at any given time... in those moments are our meetings not inevitable.

Author's Note: this was inspired by the song New Divide by Linkin Park. I'll be updating this whenever I find myself with writers' block. Let me know if it should have an alpha/beta/omega dynamic set in an omegaverse

~KORRA~

~I remember Black skies,

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash,

As time began to blur

Like a startling sign,

That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard

That I got what I deserved…~

"CHUG, CHUG, CHUG" I slammed the final cup faced down on the table before pumping my fists in the air and swallowing the last of the beer that I held in my mouth. Another round of cheers erupted around me and I gave out high fives to some and collected owed money from others. "KORRA, KORRA, KORRA!"

"KORRA!" Bolin yelled trying to fight his way through the crowed with Kuvira and Opal following not too far behind.

"Bolin, my old pal, my old buddy, my Amigo." I exclaimed before throwing my hands back in the air and dancing as the beat dropped for the cores.

~ So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the thoughts cross

The distance in your eyes~

"Fuck Korra did you forget we were supposed to meet up with Mako at the Air drop today." Kuvira said as she pointed at her watch indication that partying time was over. "His new girlfriend is supposed to be coming in today and you smell like a homeless person."

"Come on Kuv-bear-a" I said my words slurring to make my already bad pun worse. "Live a little. You're starting to sound like Mako. I've spent the better part of my life training to become the Avatar and the other half of that was spent chasing down bad guys. So I'm going to stay here and party until I drop… or I this lamp stops talking to me. Whichever comes first."

~give me reason

To fill this whole

Connect the space between

let it fill up to reach the truth and lies

across this New Divide…~

"you've been drinking cactus juice again haven't you Korra." Azula asked with an amused smile on her face.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me. Korra what the Hell." Kuvira said as she glared daggers at me.

"I don't know I kinda like her this way. You got to admit watching her hold conversations with Naga is pretty funny." Azula said laughing as she threw one arm around my waist and helped Kuvira drag me out of the party.

"does this happen often?" Opal said slightly amused and slightly worried.

"hmm... kind of." Bolin said trying to think of a way to explain why I get drunk out of my mind every so often. "she only gets like this whenever bro decides to introduce his most recent girlfriends to us… he gets a new girl and Korra runs to the first party on campus and gets totally wasted."

"Oh really? It is kind of interesting to know Korra is a happy kind of drunk." Opal said. Almost immediately everyone fell silent and shivered at the memory.

"what? What did I say?" Opal stated her voice starting to fill with fear.

"we'll… Korra isn't really a 'happy' drunk… although she's not exactly a bad one either. However, there was this one time one of Mako's girlfriends tried to stat something with Korra and well… let's just say that was the last time any of us saw her."

"'gasp' Naga who told you I was the avatar…" I turned to the cabbage cart. "it was you..." Naga cocked her head sideways and whimpered.

"Come on Korra we need to get back to the Dorm before we even think about meeting up with Mako." Kuvira said.

~some time later~

I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I came to I was sitting in a shower with my clothing on as cold water fell over me. My eyes flung open and I tried to jump out.

"have you finally come to your senses?" Kuvira asked in a harsh and annoyed tone. I didn't know what to say so I just lowered my eyes and nodded. "good because what in Raava's name where you thinking. I mean I know that being the Avatar make getting Drunk and staying so, difficult but neither that nor Mako getting a new girlfriend is an excuse for this to happen…" she yelled.

"Kuv… I-I'm sorry… I just wanted to…" my voice trailed off.

"forget it… you look and smell like shit." I looked up and she smiled. "don't get out until you're smelling like a fricking rose garden." She turned on her heels and began to walk away.

"yeah well under those roses is dirt and to fertilize those seeds is animal shit so I'm on the right track." I yelled after her. She didn't turn around but I heard her laugh.

After about an hour in the shower I changed my clothing and headed down stairs to meet up with the others. I ran up to the car completely sober. 'it's times like these that being the Avatar really sucks. Can't hold a buzz even if it killed me.'

Azula leaned in and sniffed me. "wow Korra your scent took like a complete 180" Kuvira looked at me and gave an approving nod.

"We should go. You know how bro gets when people keep him waiting." Bolin said trying to usher us into the car.

I felt a tug on my pants and when I turned Naga was there, her tail wagging. "sorry girl…" I said as I patted her on her head. "next time I promise." She wined then turned with her head lowered and disappeared into the backyard. With that I hopped in the passenger seat of Kuv's car and we took off for the Airport.

~even later~

When we arrived I told the others I'd wait by the cars. I didn't want to risk having a repeat of last time if I didn't like this new girl. Because everyone knows how I am and about my feelings towards Mako, none of them seemed to have a problem with it… though if I had a choice in the matter I wouldn't be here at all… if I could just Avatar up and say 'hey Mako I like you… go out with me.' Then there wouldn't be a problem.

My phone vibrated in my pocket pulling me back into my reality. I pulled out my phone to find a text:

Azula: Hey, Kuv said to tell you we'll be there in a minute. Oh and to not run away.

Korra: unless I magically learn how to drive of kill over, I'll be here.

Azula: lol. Anyway Mako's girlfriend is a total upgrade. She's an heiress.

Great now I have no chance. How am I supposed to compete with money? Can things get any worse?

Korra: please tell me that she's ugly at least?

Azula: sorry. wish I could but this girl is staked. perfect to the point of being creepy almost... you know she seems like she'd totally be your type as well... anyway we're coming now ok?

'Help her…' what the spirits was that? Am I hearing things?

'you have to help her… hurry before it's too late'

Ok maybe not. "hey who am I suppose to help?" Raava I'm talking to nothing.

The others approached the car where I was standing now fully alert.

"Good you didn't run" Kuvira said.

"hey if you were here you could have responded to my text ya' know." Azula said.

"Are you feeling better Korra" Opal asked.

"hey Korra if you were here you should have come in. this is my girlfriend Asami. Asami this is my friend Korra." Mako said.

"I've heard a lot about you Korra, though Mako really didn't do you justice... anyway it's nice to meet you." Asami said.

That voice I know I'm not imagining things. But…

"Korra? Hey are you ok?" Bolin asked with a concern look on his face. I turned to look at him.

"uh y-yeah… I think." I know I'm not losing my mind but

'help her… hurry before it's too late.' I unintentional glared at Bolin and he flinched. That voice it's real. But who am I suppose to help and how?

… that's it. I bent down, placed my palm to the ground and closed my eyes… I saw a girl trying to fight off two men who were trying to shove her into a van. I opened my eyes and jumped up.

"Korra? What's wrong?" Azula asked

"Hey is your friend ok?" that girl… Asami asked.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I realized I was still just standing there. "Korra?" Kuvira said with a concerned voice. In that moment it felt like my brain was on fire as that vice echoed loudly in my head. 'HURRY'

I wasted no more time before taking off but not before catching a quick glance at Mako's new girlfriend.

'Asami huh… she's not bad to look at.

Author's Note: tell me what you think. Tell if I should continue it. Also having Raava speak to Korra will appear often in my stories.
