Korra and Asami sat in the outdoor section of a restaurant in Republic City, talking.
"So, how's Future Industries doing?"
Asami smiled. "It's doing very well. Helping to rebuild Republic City after the opening of the new portal was excellent for business. I couldn't be happier. How's reconnecting with your past lives going?"
Korra sighed. "It's going slow. I've connected with Aang and Roku, but I still haven't been able to connect with Kioshi."
Asami leaned forward across the table, placing her hand on Korra's. "Don't worry. You'll find a way."
As Asami spoke, a young man with silver hair and green eyes walked past, wearing a gray coat.
Korra glanced at him, then returned to her conversation with Asami. "I hope so. I really miss being able to talk with my past lives and-"
Suddenly Korra stopped, eyes widening in shock.
"What is it?" Asami asked, concerned.
"That man-I've seen him before."
Asami frowned. "Are you sure? I don't remember him."
"No, I don't mean I've seen him. I mean-"
-Shift-
-Aang glanced at the crowd that had gathered for the Republic City groundbreaking ceremony. As his gaze swept over the crowd, he caught a glimpse of a silver haired man in a gray coat vanishing into the crowd. Aang glanced at his notes and-
-Shift-
-Roku was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, a young man, with silver hair and green eyes was standing there, who asked for directions to his friend Yaru's house. Roku-
-Shift-
Korra started back in her chair.
"What? What is it?"
Korra bolted upright. "I need to talk to that man. Come on!"
Leaving money on the table, Korra and Asami hurried down the street after the silver-haired man.
"Hey you! In the gray coat! Stop!"
The man casually glanced over his shoulder, then slowly and casually turned back to his walk-
-Before abruptly breaking into a run and darting down an alley.
Korra and Asami followed him, running hard.
The man tried to slow them, using some sort of blade to rip open several sacks of garbage as he passed, letting it spill out behind him.
With a few quick moves, Korra used the earth the clear a path, and she and Asami continued on without slowing.
The man continued into the next street and stopped in front of an oncoming car. As the driver slammed on the brakes, the man held his position for a moment, then dived into a forward roll and came up running, leaving the car parked directly in Korra and Asami's path.
The girls didn't slow, Asami sliding across the car's hood and Korra using earthbending to leap over the car.
In the air, Korra reached out and metalbent a fence the man was passing to pin him to the wall.
The man didn't struggle as the girls ran up, rather waiting patiently for them to arrive.
Korra leaned in to the man's face. "OK pal, start talking. Who are you? And why do my past lives have memories of seeing you at the same age you are now?"
The man remained silent.
"Look, you can talk to me, or you can talk to chief Beifong. It's your choice."
The man chuckled, the first sound Korra had heard him make.
"What's so funny."
The man looked directly into Korra's eyes. "How little you know, Raava."
Korra blinked. "What?"
Suddenly, the man was gone, and the fence had been bent away from the wall.
Korra stepped back in shock, and she and Asami glanced up and down the hallway. There was no one there.
