300 years have passed since she was condemned to that crystal prison, forever locked away from her loving water and moon, though things have changed, this new world has not even began to understand her power over them. As she doesn't know how much control a certain non-bender will steal her heart.
(this is an Asami and OC, figured it would be fun to try, I do not own legend of Korra or it characters.)
AN- this OC is kinda my pride and joy, Blee is a total badass with a rough past, not as bad as my other OC in Mending Of A Broken Heart but still pretty tragic. I really hope you like her, and this pairing.
Its been a year since Kuvira's defeat I Republic city, team avatar was working hard on repairing the city and earth kingdom. Korra was working to get rid of the bandits raiding the states of the earth kingdom, the air benders were helping where they could. Mako has been tracking a triple triad leader and has been deep under cover for about a month. Bolin was keeping happy with his acting and his relationship with Opal was going well, the earth bender even proposed to the Beifong a few weeks after Varik's wedding.
Asami the ever useful engineer was working double time to get a future industries factory's built in both Ba Sing Se and the fire nation capital. The construction in the fire nation was almost finished, though the one in Ba Sing Se was going excruciatingly slow due to the unstable earth foundation. The CEO was nearly pulling her hair out in frustration.
"Miss. Sato there was another cave in at Ba Sing Se, the end date has been pushed back another month." Zhu li said lightly. She had taken up being the CEO'S secretary rather than be her husband's maid so to speak. "Ugh! Seriously! That's it, since they are incapable of doing the building correctly then I will go and supervise myself, call the Airport, I need my air ship ready to go by the time I arrive." Asami said getting up from her desk and grabbing a duffle bag from under the desk. "yes Miss. Sato, right away." Zhu li scrambled away to make the phone call.
Asami grabbed her bag and keys and moved out of her office, "also Zhu li, since I'll be in Ba Sing Se for a little while, please let my friends know." Asami asked nicely. Zhu li smiled and nodded. "I called the air ship, there heating the engines up as we speak; also the deadline for the new filtration system is coming up soon." Zhu li said in a light voice. "mmhm yes I know, thank you Zhu li, take the weekend off, I'm sure you could use a day to put your feet up with some tea, just relax." Asami said as she began to walk to the elevator. "I have no idea what that is miss. Sato." Zhu li bellowed. As the elevator doors closed Asami giggled at her assistants reply.
Asami got to the lobby and out to the street where a black limo was waiting to take her to the airport, a man with a grey hair and beard opened the door for the CEO and smiled kindly. "nice day milady." He said as she climbed into the car; he closed the door once she got settled and headed to the driver seat. "So milady where you be off to this fine summer day?" asked the driver, his accent was thick and Asami couldn't place it. "Headed to Ba Sing Se to oversee the building of one of my company buildings, there has been some problems but I'm sure we can make it work." Asami said confidently. He nodded and smiled again "hmm I'm sure you will miss. Sato… well here we are, I bid yee a fair trip and a good day." The driver said parking the car at her intended air ship. She shuffled out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver, she walked up the dock and into the air ship. She passed a few crew on her way to the way to the control room. she opened the heavy steel door and walked in. the control room was quiet all except the steady beeps of the radr, and notification noises of the pressure gages. "Ah Miss. Sato welcome aboard." The captain tipped his hat to the CEO with a slight smile "how long till Ba Sing Se?" she asked quietly. "About six hours, just sit back and enjoy the flight." The captain said taking the wheel in his hands. The captain was in his mid-forties, he had bleached blond hair and brown eyes, in all honesty he was quiet attractive.
A few hours passed and Asami was on the last chapter of her book. "interview with a vampire… good book." The captain said taking a seat next to her. Asami looked up from her page "you've read?" she asked surprised. He nodded with enthusiasm "Claudia reminds me of my own daughter, strong willed, hot headed, what do you like about it?" he asked curious. She sighed and thought hard "honestly I relate to louis, longing to find love, feeling no placement in the world." Asami said softly. He nodded in understanding " Ah… looking for love Miss. Sato?" he asked with a bright smile. She nodded slightly "I guess I'm just starting to feel lonely, last date I had was two years ago, with Zaheer, and Kuvira I've been working on rebuilding the cities." She explained. He nodded again.
"Miss. Sato if I may offer some advice?" he asked, she waited for him to continue "when I was your age I was searching high and low for that special someone, I had just been promoted to captain of my own ship, I had decent money, a large home, I was very fortunate, but I could never shake the lonely feeling in my heart, I started going to bars, friends set me up with dates… for about a year I was relentless, but enough time went and I stopped looking, resigned myself to being alone, I don't know why, might have been due to such a young heart, but one day I was on my way to work, I stopped for coffee like I did every day, I was used to a young man taking my order, but that day a girl with red hair and blue eyes took it, I don't know what came over me, after she took my order i took a napkin and I folded it into a perfect rose, on the inside was my name, a small poem and a date and time to meet for lunch, I gave it to her with my bill… I showed up at the location not even sure if she got the note, let alone even show, but I waited… I think she did it on purpose but she showed fifteen minutes late, she was warring a green summer dress and a white flower in her hair… long story short she became my wife, and I learned that if you look to hard for love it will elude you, but when you wait for it to come looking for you instead, you realize love come at the most unexpected of times." He said happily.
"Would you like to see her?" he asked softly; she nodded again smiling sweetly. He pulled his wallet from his pocket and then pulled out a small photo of a red haired woman holding a little girl probably age three or four. "this is my Lilly, and my daughter Mai." He said pointing to the women in the photo. All of a sudden the radr beeped and the captain walked over to investigate. "oh turns out we are ahead of schedule, we have reached Ba Sing Se, it was a pleasure sharing with you, I hope to chat again soon." He said smiling.
Asami picked her bag and book up and headed for the docking area. Asami bid the crew farewell as she reached her limo. The limo ride was short to say the least, Asami was poring over the blueprints of her building and had lost track of time. The limo reached the construction site and Asami sighed. She could feel the stress headache already on its way as she passed workers and diggers to reach the main contractor; who was running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
" , what exactly is the problem here?" Asami asked authority seeping into every word. He jumped in surprise; the contractor never would have dreamed that his boss's boss would show up to babysit him. "OH! Miss. Sato I'm so sorry you felt the need to come here, there has been some major problems with the ground here, every time we start building the ground caves in, we've lost six workers since we started. "Have their family's been taken care of?" she asked sad at the thought of her lost employees. "Yes miss they have received a large settlement and grievance funds, they appreciate your gifts and thank you." He said nervously.
As he was showing her some of the other cave in's, a loud crash echoed through the site and a large ploom of dust soared in the distance. Asami broke into a sprint to the commotion and saw another cave in had transpired. She coughed through the dirt "help!" a man bellowed out. "Keep yelling!" she yelled back. Not a sound was herd after that; everything was silent, after a few minutes the dust settled. Asami looked around and all of the workers were looking into the crater with horror.
In the crater was hundreds of green crystals and rocks; but one very large crystal lay in the middle, the crystal seemed to have been burst open. Shards had pierced the ground and three other men through various body parts, one was defiantly dead, he had a green shard sticking out of his throat, blood streamed down his own work shirt and made a small ocean of blood beneath him, the other two had shards that imbedded themselves in their legs. "ROKU!" the scream caught the CEO's attention.
A woman stood near the middle of the crater she heled a man by the throat squeezing tightly. Her skin was lightly tanned and her face was fair, all except the small scar across her left eye. She was about as tall as Asami, but far more muscular. Asami thought Korra was fit, this woman made her look like an amateur weight lifter; her hair was similar in color to Korra as well, except this woman's was a little darker, and her hair was maybe a few inches longer than the avatar's as well. " please!...let me go." The man gasped as the mysterious woman squeezed harder. The woman looked at him in rage, she was going to kill him.
Asami acted quickly, she ran down to the woman and luckily she had taken time to learn chi-blocking; she caught the woman off guard and knocked her out. The CEO caught both the choking man and he woman in her arms, she set the man down first so he may cough and catch his breath. She then put her attention to the unconscious woman in her arms, she gently set her down on the ground. Other employees were scrambling to aid her and the other injured men. "miss. Sato, are you alright?" he asked concerned. She nodded "bring this woman to the workers trailer, I'll get the rest of the injured to the hospital, we are halting construction till I know what exactly we are dealing with." She said assertively. He only nodded and took the mysterious woman into his arms bridal style and walked her up to the trailers. The CEO walked out of the crater and headed for the trailer herself. Di lee agents were showing up along with Ba Sing Se city police. An officer stopped her on her way "ma'am do you need medical assistance?" he asked concerned. She shook her head "no I am alright but there is a man in the crater over there, I'm pretty sure he has a bruised trachea." She said lightly.
He nodded understanding and headed to get one of the healers that had just arrived. She continued her way to the trailer; she saw the construction leader walking out of the trailer and she stopped him "how is she?" Asami asked.
He sighed in aggravation "she's still passed out…why you care? Shouldn't we be handing her over to the police?" he asked clearly unhappy with the situation. "did you hear the name she said when she screamed?" she asked. He sighed "Roku… what about it?" he asked back. Asami shifted her stance. "that was the name of the avatar that lived about three hundred years ago, my guess is that she has been trapped in that crystal for a long time, how would you react to a world that has completely moved on without you, and when you woke up was thrown to the police?" she asked callously. He nodded and his expression softened, "your right, I'm sorry for speaking out of tern, I won't say anything, but I can't promise no one else has said anything to the cops." He said starting to walk away.
"I will take care of the police when it comes to our guest, just make sure everyone is treated and everyone is alright." She said entering the trailer. He nodded in response and walked away into the commotion. She closed the door behind her and scanned the trailer for the woman. She spotted her sleeping on the one of the many cots set up in the small trailer. She walked over and sat in a small fold out chair next to the sleeping woman. Asami reached over and pressed a certain pressure point to wake the woman up. The girl awoke with a gasp of air and jolted up; Asami quickly grabbed her hands and held them to her chest and sat on her hips to hold her down calmly.
"easy… easy… look I'm going to ask a few question and you're going to answer honestly, this way I can help you and you help me… now I'm guessing the reason you were in that crystal was because of avatar Roku?" Asami asked calmly. The woman's eyes went wide and turned dark; her normally amber eyes had thick red veins seeping into her iris, turning them a slight red. She breathed heavy and clenched her jaw. She nodded, confirming the CEO's question. Asami sighed in relief; she thought the woman would fight her by this point. "Now this is going to sound odd to you at first but you need to listen to everything I say… Roku has passed on and the avatar cycle continued, he was then born as avatar Aang, he also passed, avatar Korra is now the world's avatar, my guess is you've been in that crystal a little over three hundred years… do you understand what I have just told you?" Asami asked softly.
The woman beneath her went ridged; her eyes were wide and rimmed with tears. "Three- three hundred years?" she whispered in shock. "I'm going to get off now, can I trust your not going to freak out and try to kill me?" Asami asked moving slightly. She was replied with a nod and Asami moved off of her and sat in the chair. "what is your name?" Asami asked. "you can call me Blee, I don't give out my name to those not of note." Blee bit at the CEO. Blee moved to get off the cot but was quickly stopped by a sudden pain in her shoulder. "ahh shit!" Blee exclaimed, she pulled her ratty earth nation tunic down and examined her badly bruised shoulder. She gently ran her fingers over the bruise and looked around. "do you have any water around?" Blee asked with a hiss. Asami nodded and headed to the trailers very small bathroom. She filled one of the small plastic cups with water from the small faucet and brought it back to the woman on the cot.
Blee only had to flick her finger to bend the water from the cup and bent it around her palm and fingers. She rubbed the water covered hand over the bruise and sighed at the healing feeling enveloping her. The bruise was gone in a matter of moments and Asami gasped "how did you do that so fast?" she asked in shock. Blee smirked and stretched out her shoulder "best water bender to walk the world, stands to reason id have the best healing ability as well, not to mention three hundred years ago, my preferred profession was being a healer…" Blee said running her finger through her hair.
A knock sounded from the door and Asami went and opened to see who was at the door. "yes?" she asked. An officer held a clip bored and pen "miss. Sato, I need your statement of what went on today." The young officer said getting ready to take her statement. Asami stepped out of the trailer and closed it behind her. She went over all she had seen with the young officer "may I see her miss. Sato?" he asked politely. She slipped a gold yuan in his pocket " I think she is still sleeping, besides I don't think her statement will do much anyway, there was a cave in, some people got hurt, I don't think her statement will change that… do you?" Asami silly asked. The man looked the gold coin over and nodded. He walked away without another word and she went back inside the trailer.
She saw Blee removing her old dirty shirt and throw it to the side, her breast bindings were caked in dirt and grime, she looked back with a disgusted look on her face "don't suppose you have a way to bathe?" Blee asked. Asami nodded and led the water bender to the bathroom. The water bender was in awe at what she was seeing. Asami turned the tap on and let the water get hot "wow… way back people were only able to bathe in rivers or bed buckets." Blee said shocked at the shower head running hot water. "Glad you like it, though this is nothing compared to the other showers I have made." Asami said proud her work was being properly appreciated.
"you invented this?" Blee asked in awe. Asami nodded. "You are not as air headed as I thought." Blee said not realizing the insult in her words. "Gee thanks." She finally got it "oh I apologize, I meant no disrespect, I tend to speak before I think, and Zhila would be smacking my skull in right now…" Blee all of a sudden went silent; memories of her now long lost love plagued her mind.
"Who is Zhila?" Asami asked not sure if she should. Blee had a sad and distant look on her face. "She is- she was my wife, we helped each other survive. She would always catch me before I rambled." Blee said sadly. Asami's heart broke at her words. She handed Blee a towel. "Here, I'll go get you some clothes, just yell if you need something." Asami said closing the door behind her. She went outside to get to the car still parked not to far away. She asked the driver to pop the trunk so she could look through some clothes. "Hmm I don't think she will be comfortable wearing anything besides this, good thing I keep it washed whenever I use it." Asami pulled one of her working suits. This one in particular was coal black; with a red Chinese writing on the sides, and a white future industries symbol on the back.
She bundled up the work suit under her arm and a set of bindings from her med bag. She closed the trunk and jogged back to the trailer. When she got inside and closed the door, she turned to see Blee completely nude; water drops dripping down her toned body. Asami dropped the clothes, her breath caught in her throat. On the benders back was a large tattoo of Yin and Yang, but what really caught her attention was how her bones were outlined and tattoo's as well. Her ass was the perfect shape and her thighs strong. Blee turned from drying her hair and smirked at the CEO, as she turned around to face her she wrapped the towel around her hips loosely.
She walked to the CEO her large breasts bouncing slightly with every step. She stopped about a foot away from Asami and her smirk widened. She leaned down and picked up the clothes, "I'm guessing I am to ware this?" she asked smiling. Asami just nodded wildly unable to pry her eyes from the benders plump breasts. "Hey green eyes my eyes are up here." Blee said laughing
Asami finally came out of her daze and her cheeks went red with embarrassment. She looked away and fidgeted. She suddenly went ridged when a pair of cold, soft lips kissed her cheek. She then felt a hand turn her head so her eyes would lock with magenta red ones. Blee cupped Asami's pale cheeks and starred deeply into Asami's jade colored eyes. "You have her eyes you know… least I don't have to live without them." Blee whispered sadly, she leaned down and kissed Asami on the forehead. She turned and dropped the towel and pulled the coveralls over her legs, over her shoulder and zipped it closed.
Asami's mouth watered at the sight, her core began to slightly burn with want. Blee turned to her and smiled lightly "look good?" Blee asked knowing the answer. The bender noticed the clothes smelled of jasmine and something she couldn't place. The sent was etched on the pale woman as well. She walked over to the CEO and pulled her into her, sniffing her hair and neck deeply.
"What is this smell?...Never smelled such a thing before." Blee asked enjoying the feel of the CEO against her body. Asami couldn't help but respond "p-probably gear oil, I can ne-never get the smell off my skin." Asami stuttered, her breathing was becoming uneven and a blush was beginning to creep on her cheeks.
"Gear oil, what is that?" Blee said against her neck, she was slowly becoming addicted to the smell. She pulled back "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." Blee said ashamed, but was cut off by a pale hand on her cheek "don't be sorry." Asami pulled Blee closer and kissed her softly "what the hell am I doing?" Asami thought, she felt a tongue slip out against her bottom lip, she opened her mouth and allowed the benders tongue explore her mouth. "MMM!" Asami moaned. "Holy shit! Her tongue is amazing!" Asami couldn't get enough of this, she wanted more.
Blee pulled back from the kiss and sighed putting her forehead to Asami's "I'm sorry, I need time… to me… just yesterday I kissed my wife goodbye bore heading to work. I know she's gone now… and i-". She was cut off by Asami's lips again "Take as long as you need, I cant imagine how you must feel… I know we haven't known each other long but I'm willing to wait." Asami didn't know what came over her but the bender in front of her was something beyond this world, almost the same feeling she use to have around Korra. Those feelings that are now gone, repressed, and unknown to anyone. Asami knew back then that a relationship with the avatar would do nothing but get them both hurt, whether by the constant absence of Korra because of her duties or other enemies targeting them to hurt each other, either way Asami couldn't handle that no matter how much she grew to like the avatar.
Blee though was something close but different at the same time, she made Asami's heart race, and her blood turn cold with a single touch. She knew this water bender was worth waiting for, maybe love had decided to throw her a bone after all.
Blee was shocked at the declaration from the CEO, she barely knew her name and the bender already felt a strong pull to her, "god she reminds me of Zhila so much, I wonder if she is… no I will think of that later." she pulled Asami in for another kiss "we take this slow, please." Blee asked fearful.
"Yes, anything you want." Asami smiled she never felt this way before, being in the benders arms was something she couldn't explain. Blee pulled away "did anyone die when I awoke?" Blee asked suddenly. Asami went silent "one. Two or three were severely injured." Asami whispered. Blee went rigid "I would like to see the dead one." Blee said walking out of the trailer with Asami following behind her. They walked to the black body bag, they seemed to be totally invisible to the commotion going on around them. Blee pulled back the bag and realized the man had bled out "I can work with this." Blee thought "do you have a blade?" Blee asked Asami.
Asami dug a small flip blade from her boot and watched the water bender pull the body behind the rock so as not to be seen. She handed the blade to the water bender and watched intently "you have to sware on your life never to tell anyone what you are about to see, if you do I will leave and never come back." Blee said serious. Asami's heart clenched at the thought of the bender leaving her "I won't I promise." Asami said. "also your not going to like watching this. but don't try to stop me." Blee said also serious. Asami only nodded and crossed her arms. Blee breathed deep, and very fast brought the blade to her wrists and sliced them deeply, her blood began to pool out but it never hit the dirt it stated suspended in mid-air and pulled itself together in a big puddle. "wh-what are you doing?!" Asami asked panicked. She really wanted to run over and press her hand to the wounds and stop the blood from pouring out "I have to compensate for the blood her has lost." Blee said concentrating. She bent her own blood over the mans wound and gritted her teeth, she bent her blood into his system and started it to his heart, she used one of her hands to bend some water out of the air and began mending the cut in his throat. When the wound was completely closed she punched down on his chest hard. The worker burst up with a gasp of air, he coughed and coughed "Asami was amazed at what she just witnessed "easy, easy, look you were in an accident, a cave in, I have healed you and saved your life." Blee's words started to calm the man instantly.
"Asami can you take him to the medic?" Blee slurred, she quickly took the blade and made a quick cut on his forehead, there now he looks the part." A small trickle of blood dripped down the man's brow and Asami gripped him behind his shoulder and drug the now unconscious man back from behind the rock "hey can we get some help here!" Asami yelled. She had caught the attention of a medic pulling supplies from their truck. He came running "hey wasn't this guy dead?!" he asked shocked pulling bandages from his pack to fix up the cut on his forehead. "Well obviously not, just get him fixed up and headed home okay?" Asami commanded.
The medic nodded and she walked back to where she left Blee, when she got there, Blee was nowhere to be found, all there was, two trails of blood leading away from all the chaos. She ran along hem hoping to find her friend close by. After following the trail for a few minutes she saw someone crawling over to the giant water tank. Blee was trying to open the hatch but was having great difficulty "fuck 300 years has made me sloppy, how could I be so foolish to cut the tendon as well." Blee thought to herself.
She was about to give up trying to open the hatch, when a pair of pale hands did it for her. To say the bender was exhausted was and understatement, she was having trouble controlling the blood flow of her wounds; she expelled energy she didn't have. Blee tried pulling her body into the hatch door but her legs felt like heavy iron. Her breathing was becoming erratic "Asami please help me." She begged. Asami started pushing Blee into the tank, with one last shove Blee fell into the tank and plummeted to the bottom with a giant splash. Asami poked her head in and saw only bubbles up from the bottom.
Asami waited for about five minutes and Blee still had not resurfaced. "Blee If I don't see or hear a gasp of air, I'm coming in after you!" Asami waited and nothing replied, she was starting to get antsy and worried. "Fuck!" Asami exclaimed as she let her feet dangle over the edge and held her breath as she plummeted into the bottom as well. She found Blee passed out on the bottom not moving "fuck! Fuck fuck!" Asami screamed at herself. She pulled Blee up to the surface, she felt Blee pull out of her hold "what the hell do you think you're doing!?" Blee yelled pushing Asami up against the tank harshly "never do that again do you understand? You will end up in your grave a lot sooner than planned." Blee let her go and climbed out of the tank; she turned abruptly and held her hand out to help Asami out of the tank.
When she was out Blee tried walking away but was caught by Asami's hand around her wrist. She turned it over and saw that her cuts were completely gone, not even a scar. Blee bent the water from them both and let it fall to the dirt. She pulled Asami into a hug and sighed "I am sorry for acting that, it is dangerous if you disrupt me healing process, I once froze someone solid into the ice, I killed a man because he tried to help me, you must understand I am not a normal water bender, water will never be my end… please don't do that again." Blee asked truly fearful, she pressed her forehead to Asami's "I could not live with myself if you were hurt over such a little thing." Blee said. The CEO cupped Blee's cheeks "I understand, just tell me next time okay." Asami said biting her bottom lip "god what is she doing to me?"
Blee pulled away and smiled brightly, she looked around "so what do we do now, I have nowhere to go so…?" Blee said sadly. Asami only smiled "you can come with me back to republic city, I can set you up with a job if you would like?" Asami said sweetly "you said you were a healer back then right? Would you like to do that again?" Asami asked sweetly.
"Eventually, I think I should get use to what's going on now a days, I would like to observe and see what is around." Blee said a little sadly. Asami smiled "I can understand that just so you know following me around can get pretty boring, especially when we return to republic city."
"Republic city?" Blee cut in confused. Asami started pulling Blee to her car as she explained all the important events Blee missed out on "so avatar Aang and fire lord Zuko made republic city so benders and non-benders could live together?" Blee asked as they stopped next to the car. "Yes exactly right." Asami said opening the car door "and what is this?" Blee asked skeptical of the giant metal box. "This is called a Satomobile; I make them to make transportation faster, this and so many other things." Asami said getting in the car and pulling Blee inside, "no offence gorgeous but I don't like confined spaces. Makes me nervous" Blee said standing outside the car looking at Asami sheepishly.
Asami held out her hand "it's okay it bigger than it looks I promise." Asami smiled reassuringly. Blee hesitated but stepped inside the car and sat across from Asami. The cab was bigger than she thought but she was still confined behind heavy metal walls. No water in reach, and o real way out "Asami I really really don't like this." Blee said breathing heavily. Asami knew that breathing, Blee was seconds away from a full blown panic attack. Asami sat next to Blee and pulled her close. "You like my smell right?" Asami said wrapping her arm around the bender pulling her closer. "yes." Blee said confused. "Close your eyes." Asami commanded and Blee did as she was told. The CEO pulled the bender closer so her head was in the crook of her long slender neck. Blee breathed deeply enjoying the smell of the gear oil, and jasmine flowers, instantly the world fell away and all that existed was the girl she was wrapped around was about half an hour later that they finally got to Asami's small estate in Ba Sing Se.
Blee had fallen asleep on Asami's shoulder and was breathing shallowly, and with a slight wheeze to the end. "Odd why does she breath like this?" Asami thought as the car pulled to a stop. She pushed a strand of hair out of Blee's face "Blee, Blee time to wake up." Asami whispered in the benders ear, she was replied with a light groan and blood shot amber eyes. "Man those eyes can scare fully grown moose lion." She thought to herself. "wh-where are we?" Blee asked moving to rub her eyes but stopped abruptly. Asami pretended not to notice and decided to ask about it later.
"We are at my summer home here in Ba Sing Se…" she said smiling. Blee pulled herself out of the car behind Asami and was amazed at the small mansion that stood in front of her. "Wow… what a hut." Blee said shocked, it only made the CEO giggle at her. The CEO told the driver to get her bags and to take them into the house. She walled up the large steps and let herself inside, she turned to see Blee still standing in the same spot still awe struck. "Hehe, you coming or you going to stay outside all day?" Asami asked.
Blee pulled herself from shock and awe and ran to catch up to Asami. The CEO led her to the kitchen and pulled a phone off the wall. "Just one second I have to make a phone call." Asami said dialing numbers and putting the device to her ear. Blee was completely taken back at her words "phone call?" Asami just giggled.
"Ah yes Burse Asami Sato here… no this is not a prank, speak that foul language to me again and I'll have you fired!" Asami bellowed into the phone.
It made Blee bust out laughing "she's cute when she gets bossy." Blee thought.
"Yes construction is halted till I get a helping hand down there; I will be there tomorrow morning to get things back on track… yes that would be fine… Bruce I do hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth." Asami said as she hung the phone up. She turned to see Blee smiling brightly "you're pretty cute when you get like that; you have lots of slaves yes?" Blee asked.
"Slaves! Goodness no! There my employees, I own a large company, they all just work for me." Asami said laughing. Blee was in deep thought "sooo? You're like a big plantation owner, and all those people are your field workers?" Blee asked.
"yes close enough." Blee was in deep thought again "these employees they do as you say, you are of higher status. Yes?" Blee asked. "Asami nodded "yeah in a way. It's called a boss or employer." Asami said opening the fridge to see what they could rustle up to eat. "I see no real difference between employees and slaves, only I'm assuming you don't beat them if they do something wrong?" Blee said standing behind her. "to me it sounds like employer is same as master." The look in Blee's eyes was something she had seen before in people trying to figure her out. Then it hit her "you were a slave weren't you?" Asami asked her eyes shocked wide at the realization.
"Well that explains why she doesn't like confined spaces." Asami thought to herself. Blee backed away refusing to look Asami in the eye "she is quite observant." Blee thought. It took a moment for her to find the words she wanted to say "I was indeed, till my mistress died and by her dying will I was set free." Blee said trying to void the horrid memories the woman would make her do in her years of service to the lady. Her thoughts were cut off when Asami took her hand in her own "do you want to talk about it?" Asami asked trying to comfort the bender.
"No. its long past now, no point in digging it up now." Blee said giving Asami's hand a reassuring squeeze. Asami just nodded "are you hungry?" the CEO asked sweetly. Blee's reply was a loud grumble from her stomach "hehe well there is your answer." Blee smiled.
"Anything you would prefer for lunch?" Asami asked looking the fridge over. She was drawing a blank on the food right now, considering she barely knows how to cook eggs without burning them. She felt a pair of hand pick her up and remove her from the way of the fridge. " I mean no disrespect gorgeous, but I've known rich bloods for a long time, they never cook for themselves and when they have to they burn everything and nearly burn down the huts, I will take care of sustenance from here forward, I don't trust anyone's cooking besides my own anyway." Blee said setting Asami's round ass on the island counter top. "can I ask why?" Asami giggled wrapping her arms around Blee's neck refusing to let her leave the space between her legs. " stable boy didn't like me much, so he tried to poison my porridge, I almost died, after that I never ate any food that I didn't make myself, or watched it be made and plated. Vomiting blood would scare anyone I would assume." Blee said smiling.
Asami was taken back by what Blee had said. "What the hell has this girl been through?" her thoughts were cut off by Blee "I will make food, but I'm assuming this contraption is what compensate for a fire in this time?" Blee said pointing to the stove. Asami nodded and pulled herself from the counter top. She started the electric stove up and smiled at Blee who seemed so focused on the nobs of the stove as well. "These words what are they?" Blee looked closer to the knob as if she was straining to see the writing on it. "Those are temperature gages, tells you what you set the heat to and how hot it is exactly." Asami said sweetly.
Blee pulled back and sighed "humph." She pulled some meat from icebox, and some other things. Blee turned to Asami "go on, I won't be very long." Blee motioned for her to go to the living groom. After she waited for about twenty minutes Blee brought two large dishes and set them on the table. The food smelled orgasmic "what is this?" Asami asked sitting closer to the steaming food. "Moose lion stew and the other I made myself, there is no name for it" Blee said grabbing a large bowel and a smaller bowel, she filled the larger bowel with stew and the smaller with her invented food.
"What is it you made may I ask?" Asami said blowing on the spoon full of stew to cool it down. "It's made from potatoes, cut fine and baked in cheese. Anyone I've ever made it for seem to really like it." Blee said sitting down with her own food. She looked at the large table and couldn't figure out where to seat herself. Asami giggled and pulled th4 chair closest to her out from under the table. "here." She motioned for Blee to take the seat and eat.
The first bite Asami took of the stew was heaven in a bowel. "Oh my god this is good, I should hire you as my personal chef." Asami said smiling taking another bite. "hehe try to the potatoes, they tie everything together…oh shit almost forgot!" Blee whipped her lips on the napkin beside her and dashed back into the kitchen.
A moment later she came out with a plate of steaming butter glazed biscuits, and set them on the table. Carefully she gave Asami her bread and set in gently on the small plate next to her stew and she did the same with her own. "There we go, after this I have desert in the frozen box, should keep it cold enough for now." Blee said slurping her stew down, not even caring about the searing heat of what she was eating.
She was done eating in under five minutes, she looked up to see a shocked and somewhat disgusted look on her face "oh (belch) I'm sorry, it's an old habit, Zhila hated it too." Blee said putting her now empty bowel down. "Hehe it's okay Korra eats a lot of the same way, your just faster, why a habit though?" Asami asked taking another bite of stew. "well… back when I was a kid, mistress only allowed us five minutes to eat, if our dishes were not washed, dried and put away at the five minute mark, you were given a lashing, I picked up the routine really quick." Blee said nibbling her biscuit. Asami eyes looked down at her food in sadness "i-I'm sorry." Asami whispered. "don't be, like I said was a long time ago, next time I eat like a pig in slop please say something, I'm sure the eating etiquette is more strict now."
"Mmm not so much its more of an expectation, but you don't have to really do anything." Asami said finishing her food. "Wow that was really good… you mentioned desert?" Asami asked sweetly. Blee nodded and picked up their dishes "wait here I'll get it." Blee said taking the dishes back into the kitchen setting them in the sink. She found a big cup and pulled the desert from the ice box. She took a large spoon and scooped out the sweet, ice milk. "Really hope she likes this." Blee said squeezing the juices of a strawberry into Asami's sweet drink and put a cherry on top. She made none for herself since she didn't enjoy cold things in her mouth.
She walked back into the dining room and set the cup in front of her. "Hope you like it." Blee said sitting back down. "What is this?" Asami asked amazed. "I call it ice milk, another thing I cooked up over my years." Blee said sitting down in her seat with a cup of hot tea.
"You don't have any?" Asami asked before she took her first bite. "Oh no, I don't like very many sweets, and I hate the cold." Blee said smiling "your water tribe right? Thought you all liked the cold?" Asami said taking her bite. Her taste buds danced around with joy "holy shit, you should paten this." Asami said quickly taking another bite.
"Hehe maybe, and no I'm not water tribe, my mother was but I am not." Blee said sipping her hot tea. "Huh I'm sorry you look water tribe so I just assumed." Asami said sheepishly.
"It's quite alright in my youth I was confused for a water savage, but I was born in the earth kingdom, I've never even seen actual snow, snow that I didn't create anyway." The bender said smiling. "What were your parents like?" the CEO chipped. Blee had gone silent a moment and swallowed the lump in her throat "I dint know, I never knew their names, all I knew was my mother was northern water tribe, and my father and earth bender merchant…" Blee said honestly.
"How did you survive if I may ask?" Asami really wasn't sure if she should ask but she was beyond interested in her dear friend's history. "one of the mistresses servants found me floating down the river in a basket, I was raised as a slave, for the first twenty years of my life I was beaten, whipped, and when I turned fifteen i was once used as a pleasure slave… not all of it was bad though, mistress had a soft spot for me once she found how talented I was, she treated me much better, gave authority in the house. She gave me the title of head house slave, and I was very respected… it was near the end that things got bad." Blee said sipping her tea, completely lost in the memories of her youth.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Asami asked almost finished with her desert. Blee shrugged "that is up to you sweet one, its not a pretty story." Blee said sipping more tea. The CEO only nodded and waited for her to continue. "as head house slave I was respected above all except mistress, and as head house slave, when mistress was to busy to deal with them, I was in charge of punishments as well, if anyone went beyond the five minute mark I was to do the lashing… I hated ever moment of it… the same little boy that had tried to poison me, stole a loaf of bread from the pantry one day, mistress had caught him red-handed and she was furious. She ordered me to either hand him or remove his head… a boy of twelve maybe; she had told me if I didn't pick one, she would pick one for the both of us… needless to say I picked the quickest and most painless way, she made me lop his head off and walk around with it to show and tell to the other slaves to give a message, let's just say no one ever stole bread again… she started to have me trained in martial arts, I got really good fast. Mistress was killed in a robbery gone bad, I had made her mad that day so she locked me in the basement till my punishment was over, everyone was killed and the place left to rot, it took about six days to get free of the shackles and another three to find a way out… that's why I don't like confined spaces." Blee said standing up to collect their dishes.
She was quickly stopped by Asami's arms wrapping around her, "I'm so sorry that happened to you Blee, if I could go back and change it I would." Asami cried a little. A tear or two trailed down her pale cheeks. Blee pulled back slightly and put the dishes on the table and cupped Asami's pale cheeks "I would not, those things that happened made me who I am today, and I'm in no way ashamed at how I am today, if it did change… I might not be standing here with you." Blee said looking deep into Asami's ever greens.
"gods those eyes. They look to be so painful." Asami thought to herself. Blee's amber eyes were still blood shot and tinted red; Asami had hoped it would clear up after a little while. But I seems as if her eyes were already that way permanently. She went to run her fingers over her brow but It was caught mid-air "what happened?" Asami asked hugging Blee closer again, this time setting her head in the crook of the benders neck. Blee smelt of earth and the salty sea, there was a hint of something she couldn't place, something metallic and coppery.
"When I was in the basket drifting through the ocean current, the sun burnt my eyes." Blee said sadly "I know they are frightening." The bender said turning her head away in shame. "hey no. Shh they are beautiful Blee; they just look like they hurt." Asami said gently running a finger over the benders brows again. "They do when the sun is to bright or hot, when I traveled through the desert I would have to blind fold myself." Blee said sadly.
Asami kissed the bender on the temple and cheek " I may have something for you, gimme a minute." Asami said walking up stairs to her room of grab a pair of sun goggles. She ran them back down stairs and found Blee doing the dishes with her water bending. Getting the dishes sparkling clean, dried, and put back away in the cabinet. "here try these on for size." Asami said handing the goggles to the bender. Blee dried her wet hands on her coveralls and grabbed the goggles. With Asami's help she was able to fit the goggles over her eyes "they give a little uncomfortable pressure, but it is tolerable, is there some way we might get more of the squishy stuff on the inside?" the bender asked.
Asami nodded and helped the goggles back off, "I'm sure I can come up with something." She said tinkering with the goggles. Blee grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, the bender started to lean in but there moment was quickly spoiled by a knock to the front door.
"I will get it if you like?" Blee said sighing, the bender settled with just a kiss to Asami's pale cheek. "Mm no I'll get it. I'll be right back." Asami said running her thumb over Blee's knuckles and went to answer the door.
She made her way to the large wooden door and pulled it open, to see Korra standing there with her signature grin. "uh oh…" Asami thought.
"hey Sami, I heard you were having some foundation issues, need a hand?" Korra asked smiling. Asami was still slightly panicking "uhh yea actually I was just about to send a raven to you, see if I could get some help with the foundation structure, I've had to halt construction completely due to the constant cave-in's." Asami said letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Asami?" Blee said peeking her head out of the kitchen t see what was taking the engineer so long. The CEO went rigid "shit! Shit! Shit!"
"You got company Sami?" Korra said smirking. Asami nodded and the look of panic was starting to show. "Asami what is wrong, your heart rate is spiking?" Blee said stepping closer to the door. The bender noticed a flux of hormones, "who is at the door?" Blee asked her eyes becoming a more red.
Korra pushed the door open and made eye contact with Blee. She swallowed the fear in her throat and smirked "wow girly your eyes are something else." Korra said. "Asami who is this?" Blee said becoming even more angry by the second. Korra pushed her way inside to get a good look at the bender. She held her hand out for a shake "avatar Korra, nice to meet-" Korra didn't have time to finish before Blee tackled her to the ground and started throwing punched to Korra's face and nose.
Asami had to act quickly and tackled Blee from the now bloody avatar. "I'm going to bleed you dry avatar, I'll beat you into the avatar state, and I'll string you up and gut you like a seal!" Blee screamed as she was pinned down by Asami's very flexible legs. Korra had gotten to her feet and was holding her nose to try and stop the bleeding. "What the fuck was that for!?" Korra asked about to retaliate with a fire blast. "Korra! Stop your only making it worse! Blee! Please stop!" Asami was forced to squeeze harder with her legs due t the water benders constant thrashing.
Blee's instincts were telling her to blood bend whatever holding her down off of her and make it jump off a building, but the one wrapped around her was the one person she would not to such things too. "Please Blee! She's one of my best friends!" Asami was crying now. Blee's eyes were blood red, and the small tears of rage were colored blood. She felt Blee stop thrashing around. "Fine! I won't hurt your precious avatar! Now get off!" Blee yelled. Asami let her legs loosen so the bender could get out. The bender eyed the avatar with utter hatred. "If you were not Miss. Sato's companion, I would rid the world of your filth, do what might save your life, stay far away from me…" Blee said whipping the tears away, she looked at Asami with hurt in her eyes "may I be excused mistress?" Blee said looking away from her. Asami's heart broke at the words she just used.
"Blee wait i-"Asami was cut off "may I be excused mistress?!" Blee asked louder cutting her off. Asami just nodded and Blee stomped up the stairs to an empty room and slammed the door shut.
"s-Sami, what was that all about?" Korra asked trying not to swallow any of the blood seeping into the back of her throat from her nose. Asami turned to her and sighed sadly "it's a long story Korra." Asami said grabbing some ice for Korra's nose and bruised jaw. "god she hits harder than Kuvira does, and I can make time for this story, I'm pretty sure she broke my nose, so I think it's not too much to ask for an explanation." Korra said taking the offered ice.
"you know those cave-in's that have been happening with the construction, well the last one is where we found Blee, she was trapped in a large crystal, lost three hundred years of time." Asami said cleaning the cut on Korra's lip.
"Don't see what that has to do with me." Korra said sniffling now that the bleeding stopped, she popped her nose back into place and sighed with a little relief. "Avatar Roku was the one who put her in the crystal. She's lost a lot, and has a lot of pent up rage she doesn't know how to handle just yet." Asami said throwing the dirty rags into the trashcan.
"oh… that makes a little more sense, should I go talk to her or?" Korra was shut up by the look on Asami's face "seriously she just beat you to a bloody pulp, an you want to go talk to her, do you want to die, or did you not hear her say she was going to gut you." Asami said slightly annoyed. "oh right… look how about I stop by the construction sight, go underneath the foundation and add some stability to it?" Korra offered sweetly. Asami nodded "that would be greatly appreciated, you headed back to republic city any time soon?" Asami asked.
"Yeah. Want to meet up for lunch next weekend?" Korra asked smiling. The CEO just nodded "yea sure Quongs?" Asami asked taking a step up the stairs. "yep sounds good, see you later Sami." Korra went for the front door and smiled back at the CEO "see yak or." Asami said as the master bender closed the door behind her. She slowly made her way up the steps till she found the door she was looking for. She could hear rustling going on in the room, and things being constantly opened and closed. Asami gave a slight sigh and knocked on the door lightly.
She opened it up to see Blee rearranging different things in the room with her bending. "Blee? Can we please talk?" Asami said closing the door behind her, she jumped when a glass came flying past her and shattered on the door behind her. "You failed to mention that you not only know the avatar personally, but she is your friend!" Blee turned to look Asami in the eyes. There were crimson red streaks running down her face, the look of betrayal and hurt rolled around in her red eyes.
"Blee I know you have some anger your working through but Korra is not Roku, she is good and kind and has saved this world more than once." Asami said crossing her arms. "the avatar is useless, all they are is benders celebrities…" Blee sighed defeated. "I knew Roku personally, he came to my healers hut, he lied about an illness just to see if rumors about me were true, when he found out the extent of my ability, I promised never to use my ability for harm and he left me in peace, for a little while anyway… I had kissed my wife goodbye for the day and went to work, I never made it to the hut… instead I woke up three hundred years later, to find out I was locked in a crystal because an Avatar was afraid of me! i had everything I worked so hard for it taken from me, I got my freedom, I got my love, I got my purpose… I was happy then, and the avatar took it all away from me." Blee was sobbing now, her wife's beautiful smile, her silly patients she would see on daily basis were flooding her mind.
Asami didn't say anything; she just hugged the bender tightly while she cried out three hundred years of loss. When her sobs turned to quiet sniffles, Asami made the bender look her in the eye "Blee I can't even begin to understand your loss, I understand your hatred of Roku, the old man made a lot of mistakes so I hear, but Korra is different, and she is my best friend." Asami said sadly
"What am I to you Sami?" Blee asked whipping the bloody tears away. "I care for you very much, I've never felt anything like when I'm with you, but Korra is my friend, being forced to be away from her because of your turmoil will only hurt me." Asami said shedding a single tear.
Blee whipped the tear away and groaned "maybe you are right…I will try to be more understanding… since she is your friend I will be civil with Korra, but as the avatar I will not be kind… does she know water bending?" Blee asked slightly aggravated at her next words.
"She was trained by master katara, but doubt she is as talented as you with the element." Asami said smiling slightly.
"Indeed, I will teach her some things if it pleases you?" Blee asked still aggravated. She felt dearly for the young girl in her arms. Seeing her cry hurt her heart and would do anything to make the tears stop. "y-you would do that?" Asami asked shocked at the benders words. "will it make you happy?" Blee asked flatly. Asami nodded and hugged the bender closer, she loved her smell. "Blee what is that metallic smell? Its really nice." Asami said smiling into the woman's neck. "you don't want to know." Blee said.
"please." Asami said giving a cute pout. "It's blood Asami." She said flatly. Asami thought for a moment and breathed deeply. "it smells really good on you." Asami said breathing deeply again, a slight burn to her core was making itself known. She didn't know if she should but she brushed her lips over the benders neck and kissed her pulse point. The bender was surprised at the CEO's actions but couldn't contain the slight groan that erupted from her chest. She pulled the CEO closer to her body so the raven hair beauty was straddling her hips.
"Sami…" Blee gasped out as the CEO light bit down on her neck and licked it over with her hot tongue. Asami hadn't noticed her hips rocking into the benders body; the heat between her legs was becoming unbearable. "Sami. Wait." Blee gasped out. She gently pushed the CEO back so she could look into her eyes. She put her forehead to Asami's and breathed deeply to catch her breath. "I can't yet… I wish so much to give you what you desire, but I cannot do that just yet. I have to bury the dead first." Blee said pecking Asami on the lips. "I have to say goodbye to her first." The bender pulled a gold ring from her neck she had a necklace. Asami hadn't noticed it before.
"I- I can help you find her if you want." Asami whispered in Blee's ear. "I would like that very much, but how?" Blee asked.
"there is a spirit portal where I live, if you can find it there is a valley where you can find soles yet to be reincarnated, there is just one thing we have to do, and you're not going to like it." Asami said pulling back and giving her a stern look. "What?" Blee asked confused. "Korra has to take us, the spirits react better when she is around and-" she was cut off by Blee's gesture for her to stop "I understand, avatar keeper of bridge between us and spirit world I get it, if she helps me find Zhila I would be in her dept." Blee said honestly. Asami smiled and kissed Blee on the cheek. "Listen I have to go take care of some work stuff, you should get some sleep, I'm sure after bringing someone from the dead is very tiring?" Asami said smiling sweetly.
"Yes, you're right It's quite exhausting. Don't work to hard my sweet, I will know if you do not get the right amount of rest in the morning." Blee said smiling back at the CEO; she pecked the young girl on the lips as she slipped off her lap.
Asami blew her a kiss before she left the room to head back to the kitchen. She dialed in the number and waited "Bruce we should be back on track by tomorrow, the foundation should be corrected now. Apology accepted just watch that mouth mister. Good day Bruce." Asami said smiling. She called the air ship next "Asami Sato here, I need an air ship ready to go to republic city by noon tomorrow, thank you so much." She hung up the phone and headed back up to her room. Her bags were neatly settled in the room and she pulled out some blue prints of the new sewer filtration system and began making adjustments and redoing the calculations over and over again for about three hours. When her eyes began to feel like sandpaper she threw her pencil to the side and rolled the prints back up and put them away. She crawled into bed and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face, as thoughts of a certain water bender made her heart swell.
(wow this turned out better than I hoped, I'm ushally a hardcore korrasami fan, but I wanted to give something a little different. I really want to know what you guys think about this pairing, and depending how this goes I could end up throwing a three way in there eventually I'm not sure yet. Really like reviews guys. Also Mending Of A Broken Heart next chapter will be up either tomorrow or the next day.)
