Kuvira's plan to help another nation better themselves like her nation failed. Now that her secrets are out a new door has opened for her. One that offers a better peaceful life with the new family she has gained. All she has to do get rid of her own demons and let herself be happy. Lin and Kya finally get to confess their feelings after all this time. Korra and Asami start dating and their relationship flourishes. They start to realize something is missing though. They all try to live their lives while handling the problems that came along with the new spirit portal.
Inspired by heart like gold but break like glass by shanzsway07.
First off I wanna start off by saying I CHANGED CANNON THINGS like a lot of cannon things so its my version and also I just wanted Kuvira to be happy and the leader she believed she was in her heart so if that makes you uncomfortable you can leave now. Anyway expect a lot of happy shit to come.
Lots of KYA AND LIN! They are the second main couple and I do not disappoint.
Remember this is a poly story. Kuvira x Korra x Asami. It'll start off slow with mostly kyalin and Korrasami moments. BUT those three will have a lot of interactions. Lik a lot of freaking fluff and flirting!
Anyway I give you Brighter Days.
The Rebel
"Ma'am they have evacuated all of their citizens. Almost all of the citizens have relocated to the several different safety zones that we sat up. The airships and ships have also made it within the safety zones."
"Good just like we planned. Make sure everyone is looked after until they are able to return to their homes." Kuvira said nodding at her sergeant.
"That goes without saying ma'am." He said smiling at her.
"And where is the president?" Kuvira replied with one of her own.
"Scouts say he is still in his office alone. Just like you asked waiting to talk ma'am." Another sergeant answered her without looking up from his screen.
"This is going better than I hoped." She said until the Mecha suit was brought to a halt
"Um Ma'am we have a problem." Her lieutenant called drawing her attention.
"What is it?" Kuvira asked coming to stand beside her. The woman didn't have to say a thing. The avatar and others were standing in the streets a few blocks away from them.
"What are we going to do?" The lieutenant asked looking up at her.
Kuvira sighed closing her eyes as she turned away. "We are not going to do anything." She said after a moment's silence. Before anyone could question her farther she opened a hole up into the back of the Mecha suits head. She chuckled dryly. "This thing moves so stiff but opens right up. Good thing I'm the only who can bend platinum around here."
"Ma'am?" A sergeant asked taking a questionable step towards her.
She turned back to her crew and looked at all them. "Thank you." She said smiling at them. "Thank you all for staying by my side this far along. I wouldn't have gotten this far without you."
"It was no problem we wanted to help you Kuvira." A different sergeant said and the others nodded.
"That is why I can't let you walk the rest of the walk with me."
"Wha-" A lieutenant was cut off when a piece of platinum landed on his mouth. Soon everyone in the room had platinum on their mouths, hands, and feet.
"Deep down I knew this would happen." She sighed moving them to the hole as they struggled. "I knew they would fight back. I don't want anyone of you to end up hurt or die because of this. You all have families you need to return to unlike me I do not." She looked away when she saw the protest in their eyes. "All of you are going to return to our unarmed army for show that's siting on their borders and go back home or help out at the safety zones. You are also going to tell the scouting party to deliver my message to the President Raiko. I'm going to handle this and if they find a way to press charges I'll be the one to take the blame for all of us." She smiled sadly at the shock in their eyes. "We may be many but I am one. And it was one whose idea it was to bring about change for the better of our nation. I love my people and I want the best for you all. So if they reenact old laws. Then stand tall like I've taught you, stay together, and do what feels right. You don't always have to stop doing the right thing just because someone else thinks it's wrong." She moved them all out of the Mecha suit and removed the platinum from their mouths.
"Kuvira don't do this!" A sergeant yelled struggling in the air.
"Sergeant it's an order. Do it and do not come back for me." Kuvira gave them one last smile before ripping the platinum from them and closing the hole. She breathed through her nose deeply and squared her shoulders. "I set out to make a change and I plan on doing just that." She said marching back over to the controls.
She frowned when she realized that they had moved. "What are they up to?" She growled pressing the controls to move again. An alarm went off alerting her to a breach in the left leg. "Those sneaky pests." She said taking a stance. She swung the right arm attempting to swat the flying humming bird machine away. "Dammit!" She tsked when the arm proved to be much more difficult to handle on her own without someone at the controls.
Instead of a swinging motion the arm came down hard and heavy. She felt the explosion as it went off. She hoped she didn't injury anyone but when she looked out the window she saw Ms. Sato sailing away with her arms reached out. As if she was reaching for someone. Kuvira gasped ignoring the alarms going off around her. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that she had taken someone's life. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She had planned everything out. And everything had go according to plan up until now. How could she had let this happen? She spun around when the hatch door was thrown open. She ducked and rolled avoiding the fire that came at her.
She growled in frustration as she defended herself against the avatar. "Avatar I do not want to fight you!" She yelled with her own attacks.
"Then you shouldn't have charged into the city with the intent of causing a war!" Korra yelled back. "And you already killed a person!"
Kuvira gasped her concentration wavering. She thrown across the room by the avatar landing in the control panels. Her body pulsed and she felt the spirit energy from the spirit vines waver. "What are you and your team doing? The spirit vines are dangerous!" She yelled pinning the avatar to the roof. "Make them stop before something happens!"
"Like hell I will!" Korra yelled breaking free.
She thrust air at Kuvira and at the same time Kuvira threw a piece of metal at her. They went flying to opposite sides as the Mecha suit exploded. Kuvira groaned as she got up. She felt the spirit energy pulse again and limped off in a hurry towards it.
"Hey! Kuvira get back here it's over!" She heard the avatar yell behind her but she did not slow down. The cannon was now unstable and she was an idiot for letting it be installed. Her foot caught on a tree root and she tripped tumbling forward. When she looked up she was face to face with her unstable weapon. "Kuvira!" She turned getting to her feet to find the avatar sliding to a halt behind her.
"We got to go! That thing looks like it's going to blow up." Korra said eyeing the cannon.
"Korra!" They turned to the right to see some from the group earlier and a two of Kuvira's scouting party a block away.
"Come on let's go." Korra said reaching her hand out to her.
Kuvira looked at it as she heard the cannon powering up. "No." Kuvira said stepping back. "I made this mess so I'm going to clean it up." She bent platinum from the cannon around the avatar and sent her flying into her the group.
"Kuvira!" Kuvira shook her head at her soldiers as she bent the platinum off of the avatar. "We delivered your message!"
She smiled as she turned to face the cannon. "Good then do one last thing for me." She said looking over her shoulder as she took a reading stance. "Protect them."
Her soldiers bent an earth wall as the cannon fired. They wavered from the strong blast. "Help us!" One cried sinking to his knee as part of the wall cracked. Korra jumped to her feet and helped bend the wall but she to grunted as she felt the energy they were withstanding. The two scouts fell to their knees as the blast died away. Korra panted as she bent the wall away. They all shielded their eyes as the new spirit portal was being formed.
Kuvira slowing opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a field full of flowers. "Spirit flowers?" She mumbled as she sat up. She cringed grabbing her head. "I don't remember energy bending being so painful."
"Well that's because you've never bent a spirit portal into existence before." Kuvira looked up to see she was surrounded by spirits. She staggered to her feet but kept her eyes on the ground.
"Do not look down from us Āsupurinsesu."
Kuvira shook her head as she looked back up at them. "I do not deserve the title."
"Nonsense! You have done nothing wrong!"
"But I killed a person!" Kuvira shouted but soon regretted it as she let out a pain wheezed. She hurt everywhere.
"We spirits do not make the wrong choice when we chose people. People change. Some are good and some are bad but we never chose wrong. And you child have been nothing but good from the start. You have to put us one step closer in bringing the worlds back together. One day in time we will fully succeed in that step once again. But for now this is enough. So go child. Go and finish your life and keep proving that we made the right choice in making you the A."
Kuvira closed her eyes as she felt herself being brought back to the human world. She yelped as she fell and hit the ground tumbling over vines. She whimpered as she finally stopped and curled in on herself. "Kuvira!" She heard people yell her name but she only groaned.
Lin was the first one to make it to her. "Kuvira! Can you hear me?" Kuvira wheezed again and coughed up blood. "Shit Korra!" Lin shouted gently scooping the girl into her arms.
"I'm here!" Korra said as she kneeled beside them.
"Help her dammit!" Lin watched as Kuvira coughed up more blood.
"I can't there's no water hear!" Korra looked around desperately for any kind of water.
"J-J-Just l-let me d-die." Kuvira said coughing.
"Stop talking got dammit!" Lin growled getting to her feet. "We've got to do something!"
"Lin my stuff is at your place!" Kya shouted already leading the way.
"But the Island has more supplies there!" Tenzin shouted after them as Jinora helped him limp along.
"She'll die before we make it there!" Korra yelled back as she raced after Lin and Kya along with anyone else who could run. Korra air bent Lin's door down as the approached the house.
"In your room." Kya panted as she got a vase of spirit water off of a shelf. "Korra go bend water into the healing tub." Kya said following the avatar to the room at a slower pace. "Lin you can put her in." Kya said as she started to pour the spirit water into the barrel.
"N-no." Kuvira whined as she tried to get out of the small tub. Lin gently held her down. "I-I killed someone. L-let m-me d-die." Kuvira coughed up more blood as she started crying. "Please." She begged once more before passing out. The other three just sat there staring at the woman in shock. They jumped as a voice broke their silence.
"Is she going to be ok?" They turned to see Kuvira's two soldiers standing up against the wall as Suyin, Wei, Wing, Asami, Bolin, Opal, Mako, Ikki, and Meelo standing there waiting.
"Yes." Kya said looking back her patient. "She's in really bad shape. Broken ribs, fractured collar bone, burns on her face and arms, and almost all her muscles are strained." Kya looked back over at the two soldiers and smiled. "She'll be better than new when I'm done with her."
They breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to her. "Thank you very much for healing her." The one on the right said as she stood back up.
"Everyone is going to be over joyed at knowing she's ok." The one the left said as he stood back up. "We must return to our people and give them the news. I'm pretty sure that they have refused to leave until they know something for sure."
"But don't worry about Republic's people. The teams that we have in our safety zones will continue to aid them in anyway until they are able to return to their homes. That also goes for the airships and navy ships. We had people set up for those as well."
Asami frowned crossing her hers. "So you weren't going to round them up send them off to some kind of camp or prison."
They frowned turning to her. "We would never do that. We only asked the city be evacuated so nothing bad would happen to them. In case something like this happened. She had it all planned out." The male sergeant said glaring at the floor. "None of this was supposed to happen."
The woman placed her hand on his shoulder and he smiled at her calming down. "When she wakes up I'm sure she can explain it to you. President Raiko should be able to help with that as well when he gets here with Master Tenzin. We however must get going."
"You think we're just going to let you leave after everything she has done!" Suyin growled blocking their way.
"Su let them go." Korra said glaring at her."They're is obviously a lot we do not know here. Since Kuvira fucking energy bent the blast and opened a fucking spirit portal! She saved all of our lives! The least you can do is let her soldiers go tell everyone she's alright. It not like she's going anywhere."
"It is not your place to tell me what to do avatar!" Su growled glaring back at the younger woman.
"That's enough Su." Lin said looking back up at her sister. "She may not have any authority but I do. This is my city so what I say goes. Now let them pass." Everyone looked at Lin as she turned back to look down at Kuvira. They had never heard her speak so calmly before. Her words carried the same weight as they would if she would have yelled them.
Su tsked as she moved to the side to allow them to pass. "Thank you chief Beifong." The woman said stepping out the door.
The man stopped however. "When she wakes up can you tell her that we're sorry for disobeying her orders to not come back for her and we are happy that she's ok."
"Yeah Kid." Lin said smiling at him a little before he slipped away.
"Korra can you take everyone else and go heal them if they arm hurt? It's getting kind of crowded in here." Kya asked glancing at her.
"Of course." Korra said starting to shuffle everyone out of the room. "If you need anything just call."
Lin sighed as the door was shut. "It's a good thing you have a soundproof room." Kya said as she kept up her healing.
"Yeah." Lin huffed as she moved hair out of Kuvira's face. "I was ready to bend everyone out of the room."
Kya didn't say anything as she watched the way Lin acted with Kuvira. She had only remembered Lin talking about Kuvira years ago. She never would have thought Lin could have been this close to the girl. She thought it must be because she had never heard Lin speak that way before. And Kya knew a little about the calm before the storm. Nothing way more dangerous than a calm bender.
Lin looked over at Kya and frowned. "I'm sorry." She said getting up from her kneeling position. Kya looked at her confused as Lin crossed her bedroom. "I should have gotten Korra to pull this chair over for you." Lin said placing a chair behind her best friend so she could take a seat.
"Oh it's ok." Kya gasped as Lin wrapped her arms around her shoulders and buried her face in the side of her neck.
"Thank you for healing her. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with job."
"N-No problem." Kya said with a blush. She was so happy it was just the three of them so no one could see her face. "I'm happy to help you b-but Lin I'm working here." Kya said shrugging her shoulders.
"Oh yeah I'm sorry." Lin said getting up and squeezing her shoulders with a teasing smile. "And here I thought water benders could always just go with the flow." Kya sputtered blushing more. Lin laughed. "Relax Kya I'm only teasing." Lin said kissing her temple and Kya froze. "I guess I'll look for something for her to wear for when she wakes up."
Kya relaxed when Lin was out of reach. Lin hadn't done that since they were younger. Kya shook her head. Lin must be more out of it than she thought.
Kuvira sat up as she woke up. She instinctively reached for her ribs remembering the pain she felt before but she stopped when she didn't fell anything. She felt completely fine. She looked down and saw she was in healing water and sat back as things started coming back to her. "Finally awake huh?" She looked up and saw Kya Lin's friend smiling softly at her.
"How long have I been out?" Kuvira asked her sweeping her hair to the back of her head.
"Roughly an hour." Kuvira turned to see Lin sitting on her bed and staring at her. She quickly looked away. "Thank you." She mumbled glancing at Kya. "But you shouldn't have. All of you should have just let me die when I came out of the spirit portal. I-I-I took someone's life." She sobbed into her hand. A choked yelped left her mouth as she yanked out the water and on to her feet. Clothes were shoved into her hands. She looked up to Lin's frowning face. "L-Lin!" Kuvira said as even more tears came.
Lin rested her forehead on hers as and squeezed her nape. "Breath just breath." She instructed the broken woman. "Just like that." Lin said kissing her forehead before going back to her position. "Ok so now you're going to go in the bathroom and get cleaned up. Then you're going to come out and explain a lot of things to everyone, and then-" Lin said squeezing her nap. "And then me and you will have a talk. And it can be as long as you need it to be because we're not letting go again. Understood?" Kuvira bit her lip nodding as more tears slipped through. "Good now go." Lin said kissing her forehead again. "But leave it cracked so we hear if you need help or anything." Kuvira didn't say anything but she also didn't close the door behind her all the way.
Kya who had been sitting still not wanting to ruin the moment or anything got up. "Lin?" She said taking her hand. Lin squeezed her hand as she turned towards her. "I'm sorry me and you definitely will be talking. I know this is really confusing for you. Not knowing anything and seeing me like this."
Kya nodded. "Very much so." She said squeezing her hand back.
"It will all be explained I promise." Lin said looking back at the bathroom entrance.
"Come on." Kya said tugging her towards the door. "Let's go sit with everyone else."
"Did Su leave?" Lin asked as she sat down next to Korra.
Bolin nodded. "Yeah she said something about checking if Kuvira was lying or not."
"Speaking of Kuvira did you leave her by herself?" Mako asked holding his broken arm.
"Yeah but I had her leave the door open because my room is soundproof with the doors closed." Lin said shrug.
"Are they really?" Asami asked as the Beifong siblings looked around with horrified faces.
Kya laughed as Lin nodded. "Get your dirty minds out of the gutter." She said rolling her eyes.
"I assume there's a reason that you told her that?" Korra asked raising an eyebrow.
Lin nodded pointing up towards the vent on the wall behind them. "Since the bathroom is sound proof. When the door is open you can open the vent and hear what is going on inside."
"Isn't that bad? Dad said we aren't supposed to listen in on people during shower time." Meelo spoke up.
Lin smiled at him. "Your dad is right but this is a special time."
Kuvira sighed as gripped the sink looking down at her hands. Her hands that have saved and helped so many had taken a life today. She bit back a sob and relaxed her mind. She let her voice flow out.
I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven,
Kuvira looked up at herself in the mirror. She only shook her head looking away from the sight as she continued to sing.
seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
Then just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
She needed to clear her mind not keep fogging it up. She got out of her clothes and started the shower.
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
I'll turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite
I'll turn it off
She got in and sunk to the floor. Letting the water run over her to see if she would mix with it and disappear down the drain.
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
Kuvira her knees to her chest as her tears mixed with the water.
The tragedy, it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well I can see behind the curtain (I can see, yeah yeah)
The wheels are cranking, turning, so on the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's non existent
It's not existent, but we just keep believing
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
I'll turn it off
In all my spite
In all my spite
I'll turn it off
Just turn it off
Again
Again
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom
It was just the sound of the water running for a moment. "I killed someone. They shouldn't have saved me." Kuvira sobbed into her hand.
She nervously fixed her oversized shirt and sweats walking out the room. She paled a little thinking about what she was walking into. Everyone watched her visibly relax after noticing Su wasn't there. She stood nervously and bounced on her toes. She didn't know if she was supposed to stay standing or just sit on the floor. Lin whispered something in Kya's ear and Kya smirked.
"Hey Korra can you do me a favor?" Kya asked her.
Korra was on her feet in second from where she had been resting against Asami.
"Yeah what is it?" Korra asked ready to do whatever.
"Have a seat." Lin yanked her back and she fell into Asami's lap with a surprised yelp.
"Lin!" Korra huffed embarrassed as she made to get up.
"I don't mind Korra." Asami said blushing clearly embarrassed as well. Korra nodded as she let Asami fix her on her lap.
Lin smirked as she scooted down to sit beside them. "Thought so." She whispered to the younger women. Then she pat the space beside her. "Sit here Kuvira before you wear a hole in my floor." Kuvira hurried over shoulders slumping as she sat between them.
Raiko, Tenzin, and Jinora walked in Lin's house. "I hope you haven't started or else you're going to have to start over." Lin and Korra rolled their eyes.
"No we didn't Master Tenzin." Lin mocked and he frowned.
"Anyway Kuvira can you start explaining?" Korra asked her. Trying her best to look anything but adorable from the way Asami had her wrapped up in her arms.
"I'm an energy bender." Kuvira said as if it was that simple.
Everyone looked at each other before looking back at her. "Just like that you're an energy bender?" Mako questioned speaking for everyone's disbelief.
Kuvira sighed closing her eyes. When she opened them again her green eyes were glowing and they all stared at her shocked. She chuckled holding out her hands. "I'm not surprised that the only energy bender you know is Korra." They felt and saw her swirl the energy around her before letting it go. Her astral projection came forward half out of body and looked at them before going back inside her body. "Most energy benders keep themselves hidden. Much like I have done since I came to the earth kingdom. Energy bending is powerful and dangerous and we do not want it used in the wrong way. Nor do we wish to be captured and used against our will. Kuvira said as her eyes faded back to her normal color."
"Alright but that still doesn't say how you were able to make a spirit portal or even survive. Only the avatar should be able to do that." Tenzin said confused.
Kuvira smiled nodding. "You are correct but I wouldn't have been able to do it if I wasn't the Āsupurinsesu." (earth princess)
Jinora gasped standing up. "You're the Āsupurinsesu? I've heard the spirits speak of you but I never thought it would be... well you." She said gesturing at Kuvira.
Korra stood up going into avatar state. "I have wondered for some time who was the Āsupurinsesu. I have always wondered why the spirits keep them from me but I suppose it is because you are one of their own sought out souls like the avatar is mine." Raava bowed to Kuvira. "It is an honor to meet you." "
Thank you Raava." Kuvira said looking away from her. "But I'm afraid the spirits have chosen wrong. I do not deserve this title."
Raava cupped her cheek and gasped a little before smiling. "Child I see why now that they have chosen you. We spirits never chose wrong. Humans change. Some for better or some for the worse but in the end we never chose wrong. You may not see it yet."
Kuvira chuckled leaning into the comforting touch. "You spirits sound the same." Raava smiled winking and then Korra was back.
"That was really weird but a good weird." Korra said pulling her hand back. She bit her lip add she turned back to Asami unsure if she could sit back in her lap.
Asami rolled her eyes. "Korra shit down before you start walking around the room for no reason." She said patting her lap. Korra wasted no snuggling back cover to her.
"That is fascinating and I would like to discuss it with you later. We have never heard of this." Tenzin said stroking his beard.
Kuvira raised an eyebrow but only nodded. "So am I going to jail when everyone gets back?" She asked looking around the room. "I kind of want to go. Like the faster the better. Well once I let my people know that the old leaders are back in power and that I will go to jail."
Raiko sighed pulling Kuvira's letter out of his jacket. "No you are not."
"What?" Kuvira and several others said looking at him.
"Your letter showed all of your intentions and they were not hostel at all. I didn't believe everything at first. Like bring an unarmed army just for show? Set up crazy luxurious safety zones for my citizens. That are like vacations and those words come from the direct line I have sent out. Even general Iroh was shocked. But I must ask if you came with intentions to not attack unless provoked. Why the giant Mecha suit? Why go through such great links to make our nations sister nations?"
"I wanted to back you into a wall. Give you no choice but to go along with my plan. I knew my army wouldn't be enough so I needed something more. I was never going to attack I didn't want to hurt anyone. The only damage that I was going to do was damage the streets." Kuvira said with a shrug. "I wanted us to people sister nations to simply help our people. It didn't have to last forever just long enough for Republic's people to come together. Long enough to end the poverty, help the homeless get back on their feet, keep shelters and orphanages in top shape, bring your people together, keep showing people that non-benders are just as important as benders, pay people enough to feed their family." She stopped and glared at him. "You should not be sleeping comfortable knowing your people are hungry or with shelter or a job. It is your job as president to make sure everyone is taken care of and not rest until they are."
Raiko looked away sputtering. "Well Future industries-"
Kuvira growled and Korra and Asami both jumped looking over at the woman on the other side of Lin. They both thought the way her face frowned up was adorable. "Ms. Sato cannot give everyone a job. And it is foolish and insensitive that you even speculate or attempt to say she can do something about all the jobs. She is human just like the rest of us. And most of her jobs require a degree of some sort." She tsked angrily looming down at her lap. "I lost it all taking a gamble to save this failing nation." Lin squeezed her nape and she sighed deflating.
"Yes well Republic city will not charge you with anything. You meant well and you saved all of our lives today." Raiko said standing up and putting the letter away. "Now as for the Earth nation. Suyin has band you from Zaofu. And as for the capital. They want you to come and give a public speech saying that the ones you have appointed well be removed and that the old ones will return to their jobs. They also want you out of their borders for a while or at least until they regain order." Kuvira looked absolutely heartbroken.
"We're sorry Kuvira. Mom shouldn't banish you from Zaofu. We're not all mad like her." Opal said feeling bad for the girl she thought of as a sister.
"Yeah the tree house prison was awesome!" Wing said smiling at her.
"Think we can go again sometime?" Wei asked. "Besides we think mom is mostly mad because you did a better job than we did."
"Well were going to head out." Opal said after Kuvira didn't respond.
"Yes were going to head out as well." Bolin said helping his brother up.
"We'll probably head over to the island get this wrapped up." Mako said pointing to his arm. "Then head out to a safety zones before Raiko calls everyone back." Raiko huffed as he led the way out of the house.
"Tenzin do you want me to take a look at that?" Kya asked her brother.
Tenzin waved her away. "Don't worry about it we'll go to a safety zone as well. I'm sure you're tired and the kids deserve it."
Ikki hesitated stopping in front of Kuvira. She bowed. "It was an honor to meet you Āsupurinsesu."
Kuvira looked up tilting her head to the side. "Aole au e hoomana aku i ka poe e hoʻomaopopo iā lākou iho." (I do not bow to those who do not recognize themselves.) Ikki slowly meet her eyes and seen the glow in them. She nodded and hurriedly followed her family out of the house.
"Should we be worried because that is the quietest Ikki has ever been?" Korra said looking to where the child had left.
"Kuvira." Asami said not looking at anything but Korra's lap. "You killed my father."
The other three gasped not believing Asami would say it like that. Kuvira flinched back as if she had been hit. Lin broke out of her shock as she heard Kuvira start breathing hard. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Kuvira repeated over and over again before letting out a broken sob.
Asami buried her face in Korra's neck pulling her closer. Korra looked around for help but she caught Kya's eye. Kya pointed towards the front door. "Hey Asami?" Korra called the girl as she pet her head. Asami nuzzled her neck instead of answering her. Korra whined trying not to show more of her neck to the older girl. "How about we go and get some sleep? You've had a long day."
Asami released her and glanced at Kuvira only to see the broken down woman in Lin and Kya's arms. Korra took her hand and pulled her towards the door. "Call me or text me if you need anything guys."
Kya stroked Kuvira's back trying to comfort her as she continued to break down. "Kuvira listen to me." Lin said stilling Kya's hands. "Everyone's gone now it's just the three of us." Lin said kissing her temple. Kya was shocked at Lin's behavior even more. She had only seen Lin be this soft and caring towards her and no one else. "Now I'm going to carry you into my room and we're going to sleep ok?" Kuvira had calmed down to just sniffles now. She waited until Kuvira nodded before picking her up.
Kya gasped she knew Lin was strong but she didn't she was strong enough to just carry her like a baby. She smacked her forehead as she followed. Lin had carried Kuvira all the way her of course she could pick her up. She sighed to herself a she watched Lin settle Kuvira on the bed. "Get comfortable I need to change." Lin said as she turned back to Kya. "I'm sorry about this. I hope you don't mind sharing the bed with us. I know I usually sleep on the couch."
Kya shrugged. "I don't mind. I've been trying to get you to share the bed with me or at least sleep in the guest room. Either could be a lot more fun than the couch." Kya said smirking at her.
Lin shrugged. "I have my reasons."
"I'm guessing our talk will happen tomorrow?" Kya asked stepping into the room and getting her stuff ready for a shower.
"Yeah again I'm sorry." Lin said rubbing her neck.
"It's ok at least we'll get to sleep in the same bed tonight." Kya said with a wink as she disappeared into the bathroom. Lin screamed into her hands shaking her head.
"I'm sorry Lin." Kuvira said picking with the covers.
"It's fine. It's fine. I'm dealing with my own issues." Lin said with a shrug as she headed off to the guest room.
Kya hummed as she existed the bathroom in one of Lin's shirts and just a thong. She crawled into the bed behind a sleepy Kuvira. "Lin gets really clingy in her sleep."
"I don't mind." Kuvira said turning to face her. She snuggled close and Kya let her. Going as far to wrap and arm around her. "I'm more worried about you." Kuvira mumbled against her neck.
"Me?" Kya asked confused as she ran her fingers through her hair.
"Lin has a thing for pretty girls in her clothes." Kuvira mumbled as she drifted off to sleep. Kya blushed hoping what she said was true.
Lin froze in her door way when she came back. Kya and Kuvira were curled up together sleeping. That was pretty normal. It was seeing Kya in her shirt that made her breath hitch. Seeing the shirt bunched up showing off her hip. Lin also got a nice look at her green thong. The only kind of panties Kya has as of late. She groaned crawling onto the bed.
"You're killing me." Lin whispered kissing Kya's head.
Kya mumbled something and Lin chuckled. Lin kissed Kuvira's head as she snuggled close behind her. She had so much she wanted to say but she decided to save it for when the girl was awake. Kuvira turned and Lin let her seek her out. She smiled as Kuvira let out a relaxing sigh against her neck. She reached over and placed a hand on Kya's hip and pulled her closer.
"Korra you don't mind staying do you?" Asami asked as she set on her bed.
Korra shook her head as she walked closer to her best friend. "No I don't want to leave you alone." She said smiling at her. "And I also want to spend more time with you."
Asami shook her head. "Thanks Korra." Asami said burying her face in Korra's stomach. Korra held her close as she felt her shirt become wet.
"So did anyone else notice the way Kuivra and Lin interacted together?" Bolin asked as they took a boat to the Island. Everyone collectively agreed. "Good good. Didn't want to keep thinking I was seeing things." Bolin relaxed.
