Korra and Kuvira wern't exactly typical teenagers. That is unless most teenagers were kidnapped and experimented on for three years. You see when they were thirteen these bad crimnals got a hold of both the girls, as ransom for Korra's dad, chief of the water tribe, and Kuvira's aunt, chief of rebublic city police. The criminals weren't too bright but what they did need were test subjects for their new serum. The serum was meant to turn people into super soldiers, and sell it to people for a price. The serum was injeted to both of the girls and to the criminals delight, it worked. With a few extra side effects.
While thier serum did make them super strong and have heightened senses it also turned their blood to iron, made them grow fangs, claws, and dragon wings, as well as making their bones extra dense and almost impossible to break. There was one more side effect but it'll come up later. After three years of training the girls, both of them were stong enough to break out. After tearing the criminals apart, bloodied and half alive they showed up at the police station, and to their astonishment Lin and Tonraq never really planned on rescuring the girls.
Rescueing them would have taken too much colateral damage and apparently they weren't worth it. Obiously both girls were furious, I mean who wouldn't be. Adjusting back to regular life seemed easy enough, since the crimnals did keep both of them up to date on events and school work, but what was about to come next was a total shock for both of them.
Present
"THEIR IS NO WAY IN HELL WE'RE GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL!", both girls screamed. They were currently sitting on the kitchen counter, while their mothers and Tonraq sat at the bar. "Honey, I know it's not your favourite idea ever, but both of you need more social interaction." Senna was currently moving around the kitchen fixing dinner. "Besides, both of you are sixteen and have to go to school. Not going is considered breaking the law." Suyin chimed in. Both girls just huffed and slammed their heads back against the counters. "I think it's a good idea." Tonraq whispered. "NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!" Both girls shouted as they jumped down from the counter. Senna whipped around and pointed a spoon at the girls, "Language you two!" Korra let out a huff. "Mom, litterally everyone thinks we're freaks. Our names and faces are all over the T.V. I don't want to be looked at as a freak and be a social outcast for all of high school." Korra whined.
Senna cupped her daughter's face gently, "honey, I love you and know this isn't goignt to be easy, but if you can survive three years in that retched place than this will be a walk in the park for both of you." Senna started sobbing. Korra's heat started breaking. Her mother had hired PIs and an abundance of other services in order to find her girl, but with out her husband's support it was not possible to find her. Her mother burned through almost all of the family's savings and when the girls finally remgered, TV companies started paying them to sell the two girls story. Korra couldn't bear to see her mother upset after everything she had done for her and would do ANYTHING to make her happy. "Okay, we'll go. For you." Korra sighed.
"Yeah, and Korra is gonna need somone to watch her back, so I geuss I'll be going too." Kuvira said with a smirk. Suyin went up and hugged her daughter while Tonraq sat nervously behind the bar. Senna finished cooking and set out a five course meal on the table. To compensate for their troubles president Raiko was making monthly generous donations to the families, and since the girls wat more that an army, that money went to good use. After devouring a delicious meal the two teenager went out back while everyone else cleaned up.
"I honestly think this is the stupidest idea ever." Kuvira said as she stretched her wings. "If it makes mom happy than I can bear it." Korra had jumped up to the roof. With one flap of her wings Kuvira joined her friend on the roof. " Sure, fine. You say that now, but what happens when we go full on mutant in front of everyone at school?" Kuvira folded her wings and lay on her back. "Aw, is Kuvira afraid she has no self control." Kuvira shot up at the comment. "Alright, let's make a bet. Whoever gets caught going mutant first has to do chores for the next month and a half, and not use their powers." Korra pondered it for a moment. "You got yourself a deal." Korra and Kuvira shared a firm handshake. "Hard to believe that just last year, we were breaking out of that lab," Korra sighed stretching her wings. "Did you see that new story on TV?" Kuvira pulled her knees to her chest. "The one about those equalists? Yeah." The equalist were a peace group who think that all violence should be eradicated. After seeing what Kuvira and Korra did to their kidnappers they began making stories about how they were Vatuu's childeren and needed to be eradicated.
What's sad is a great number of people agreed with them. "Do you think they'll be a problem?" Korra scoffed at the question. "As long as we keep our heads down and don't draw attention to ourselves, we'll be fine." Korra jumped down from the roof. "Come on dude, where you going?" Korra looked back up at Kuvira. "I actually wanna sleep, plus we flew for like ten hours today." Kuvira jumped down from the roof. "Yeah, I geuss you're right for once. I geuss I'll see you in the morning." Kuvira hopped the gate over to her own house. Korra went inside and fell asleep on the couch.
Korra was shaken awake and had to shield her eyes from the sun pouring in from the window. "Mom what are you doing it's only like six thirty in the morning." Korra swung her legs over the side of the couch and sat up. " We have to get you registered for school. Now go up stairs and get ready." Senna sounded excited as she hopped off to the kitchen to make something to eat. Korra groaned as she trudged up the stairs. Korra took a quick shower and threw on jeans and a black T shirt. Korra slipped on some tennis shoes and ate breakfast at the bar. Kuvira was already their. Since, her mom was busy running the metal clan coporation she rarely had time to cook for her kids let alone the kid of family friend. Kuvira's family were currently out on business so Kuvira would stay at Su's house with her and her children.
"Well, are you two excited about school?" Senna asked placing some bacon and eggs in front of the girls. "It's whatever mom." Korra said over a mouthful of food. Kuvira didn't reply. "Oh and girls. Please, please, please no using your abilities at school." Senna pleaded. "Not a problem." the girls said in unison.
Time Skip
Korra stood outside theer registor's office with her arms folded across her chest. Kuvira went off to the restroom leaving Korra standing there by herself. Korra looked at the ground and huffed, impatiently waiting for her mother. Korra saw books spill out in front of her, causing her to look up. There was a girl with jet black hair, white porcelain skin, who stood a few inches taller than Korra. Korra kneeled down to pick up the books at the same time the girl did. "I'm sorry. I guess I was carrying to much," the girl looked up at Korra. "Nah, it's cool. I wasn't doing much anyway." Korra stood up with all the books in her hands. The girl gasped and her eyes widened. "You're Korra! The girl who was made to be the perfect soldier. That's so cool." Korra rolled her eyes slightly and blew a breath out her nose. "Yeah. It's no big deal though. I'm far from perfect. Since you already know who I am, I think you owe me your name." Korra flashed the girl a smirk.
"Oh right. How rude of me, my name is Asami Sato." Asami stuck out her hand and Korra balanced the book in her other hand as she gave a Asami's hand a squeeze. "Thank you so much for your help. I can take it from here." Asami motioned for the books but Korra put her body between her and the books. Korra felt Asami's dainty hands rest on her well defined stomach. "I'm working on being sociable, so how about you let me carry your books to class. I really don't mind." Korra saw how Asami admired her stomach and the faint blush that was begining to appear on Asami's cheeks. This would probably explain why it took Asami so long to respond. "Okay, sure. That's not a problem with me." Asami turned around and started walking off, with Korra walking not too far behind. "So, I don't want to intrude so if this is to personal I totally understand, but do you really have all those powers that people say you have?" Asami began walking backwards so she could look Korra in the eye.
"I guess. I don't know what they're saying about me these days, but to answer your question I do have powers." Korra didn't really mind. At least Asami was respectful as opposed to those stupid reporters who bug her twenty four seven. "Hm. Maybe you could show me some time." Asami giggled as she stopped in front of a door. "I guess this is where we part ways." Korra smirked as she stopped in front of Asami. Asami took her books from Korra and flashed her a warm smile. "I know we probably won't but I hope I see you again sometime." With that Asami turned on her heel and walked into her classroom. Korra watched the blk haired girl leave, and sighed. Korra walked back to the office to meet her mother. Her mother was in a frenzy. "Where have you been I was worried sick. Where's Kuvira? Were you two caught using your powers? Are you hurt?" Senna was patting Korra up and down to look for injuries. "Mom I'm fine. I just helped some girl carry her books to class and Kuvira had to take a piss." Korra mumbled. Senna looked up at Korra.
"Aw, does that mean you've finally made a friend after all this time?" Senna exclaimed happily. "Oh, mom." Korra groaned. "Can we find Kuvira and go please?" Korra crossed her arms behind her head and walked in the general direction of the bathroom. Kuvira walked out of the bathroom drying her hands on her jeans. "So what'd I miss?" Before Korra could answer Senna pushed her out of the way. "Everything went swimmingly. You and Korra are both enrolled in school and should start class tommorrow!" Senna sounded so happy that Korra couldn't help but smile, even though on the inside she was dreading going to school.
The drive back home was oddly quiet, until Senna broke the silence. "You know Korra, I really wish you and your father would get along." Senna said in a barely audible whisper. Korra growled at the mere mention of her father. "Mom I love you to pieces but that bastard doesn't deserve any of my forgiveness or sympathy. If it were up to him and Lin me and Kuvira would still be in that stupid lab." Korra growled. The mere mention of lab brought back nothing but pain for Korra. She could feel the knives splitting her viens open they tested the serum, the way they would try and snap her bones to test their density. Not being fead for days at a time. Her body was full of scars from countless experiments. The room she stayed in was constantly covered in her blood. The fact that her father would rather have left her in a place like that made her blood boil. Kuvira's experience wasn't much better. She was experimented on with an unfinished product of the serum and her body was nearly ripped apart after a few hours. Now that the serum had been in both of their systems for years, their bodies have adapted to it and it doesn't hurt anymore, but before it was complete hell.
"I can't forgive him. Ever. He's lucky that he is my father, otherwise he would be dead by now." With that the ar went silent again as Korra gazed out the window. Her mind wandered to the girl she met earlier today. Having actual human interaction outside of Kuvira and her parents was wierd. Any interation with other humans came from phone calls or fans messaging her on instagram or facebook, which weren't even hers. The media made them for her in order to get more publicity. To meet someone who was so respectful was a nice change of pace. Hopefully I do get to see her again.
