Roze's Corner: Yay! Okay, so I am going to try and write my first Legend of Korra fic! As always, recommendations and advice are always welcome ^_^ And just to note that yes I am a hugeeee Borra shipper so if I bash Mako I am sorry and I will try to not do so.

Overview: It only took one argument for Korra to see how much had went wrong with her relationship with Mako over the two years that she was with him. All the lies and hurt amounted too much and it just took one true look at everything for Korra to leave him. Bolin hasn't seen his brother nor Korra much in those two years but when she suddenly appears on his door step in distress he doesn't hesitate to take her in. Will old feelings return and new ones develop or will the unseen forces of the unknown interfere?

Prologue: After two years I see you...

(Bolin's P.o.V)

"Nice work guys! Take a breather and we'll continue in a bit."

Waving at my fellow officers, I too felt the fatigue of today's harsh training regimen that was set by Chief Beifong. She just hired a new drill sergeant and boy was he doing his job to the fullest. We've been at it since about eight this morning and its two thirty in the afternoon now. My arms felt like blocks of lead and my heart was hammering in my chest.

"Bolin!"

Turning around, I saw the chief approaching and saluted. "Chief Beifong!"

"At ease."

Relaxing, I had to resist the urge to grab my chest, instead wincing to hide the discomfort.

"Everything okay?"

"Yes ma'am, just a long day of training." She didn't look like she believed me but I was grateful when the topic was changed.

"In any case, take the rest of the day off for some rest. You've been working hard for the past year since you joined the ranks and I barely see you take time for yourself. So get a good night's rest and I'll see you tomorrow."

And with that I felt a pat on my back and I was left alone in the hallway. "Thank god." Making my way to my locker, I was grateful that I had a bottle of water in there and guzzled it down in one drink. "Ah." Relieved that my heart didn't feel like it was about to jump out my chest, I started changing back into my street clothing. "Oh? What's this?" Picking up something shiny out of my work bag, it was a medal that I was awarded for my service in helping Republic City so many times. It made me pause and take a small trip down memory lane. It was surprising to think that two years had passed since Amon's downfall. It feels like such a short time but in truth I know that much has changed between everyone. " Yea, I wonder how they're doing..." Not dawdling on thoughts, I finished dressing and collecting my stuff before closing my locker for the day before heading out.

(? P.o.V)

"Ah, finally back." It felt nice/ to be back home after traveling for so long even though it wasn't going to be long since I was going back out in a bit. Letting down my hair, it cascaded down my back and rested over my shoulders. "There, much better than that stupid bun." Stepping inside, I noticed that the house was empty. "Hun? Where is he?" Strutting into the living room, I picked up on an unfamiliar smell. "Mako!"

"Ah! Dammit."

Crossing my arms, I tapped my foot impatiently. I was here in heels I didn't want to wear, a dress that felt too tight and make up that was caked upon my face that I could not remove till later. Add the fact that I knew what my boyfriend was doing and you could tell I was not a happy bender at all. Narrowing my eyes, I was tempted to find the nearest water source and drown him in it when finally stumbled out and the scent of alcohol reached my nose. "Yuck, Mako... Have you been drinking again?"

"Just today, had a rough work day."

Stumbling past me, I placed my hands on my hips and waited until he sat down on the couch to pull some water from the sink and splash him with it.

"Guh! Korra! What the hell!?"

"You stink." Walking around to couch, to avoid getting my clothing messed up I pulled up the water from the cushions before sitting next to him.

"Hello to you too, you look nice."

'Oh now you notice...' Muttering a small thanks, I had to squash all feelings to pull away when Mako had pulled me close. The booze on his breath was one that I remember my dad and his friends drinking. In small doses it wasn't too bad but it smelt like he drank the whole bottle and then something else. I smirked when I saw him wince and hold his head. 'Good for ya.'

"Damn hangovers ... When did you get back?"

"A couple of minutes ago."

"Why the get up?"

"I have a dinner to attend later. Would you like to come?" I wasn't going to beat around the bush. The only reason I actually came home was to see if he was able to come out with me. I hated going to fancy things alone. I was never one who liked getting all dolled up for some fancy event just to impress people. If they weren't impressed by me in my normal clothes then I I'm not impressed by them in their fancy clothes.

"Korra, you know how I feel about these things."

'And yet the same excuse like every other time.' Deciding not to start a war over it, I got up and brushed off the light dust that settled on the silk dress. "Okay, see ya later then." Walking to the door, I felt a hand grip my wrist.

"Do you have to go now?"

"Yes, I came back briefly to check up on you."

"But why do you have to leave so soon?"

"'Cause this is an important dinner, I can't miss it."

"I know but do you have to leave absolutely right now?"

"I have to or I'll miss the ferry." Pulling my wrist free, I was able to get to the door before I felt Mako's arms around my waist.

"Korra come on, you just came back and your going out again, take some time and relax."

The kisses that were peppering my neck slowly began to change my opinion but I knew that I had a job to do. As the avatar I couldn't just shirk all my duties and I pushed Mako off. "I have to, my duty as the avatar is never done. Both Tenzin and Lin are expecting me there at this meeting along with high ranking officials." I heard a snort.

"Fine, go ahead."

"Mako..." I started but he quickly cut me off.

"I'll be fine, not like I haven't been on my own before."

Those words bit harder into my emotions more than he knew but I wouldn't let him get to me. Raising my head, I left the house we shared and let out my shaky breath when I got a far enough distance so he couldn't hear me. "When will stuff get better?" I had no time to waste on petty things, the boat was to leave in ten minutes and it took fifteen to twenty to walk there. "Good thing we live near water." Backing up, I got a good running start before dashing and pushing myself into the air. "Here we go!" Bending water into a platform, I solidified the surface and landed on it. I made sure it was stable and there was no water on me before taking off at high speeds to make it there on time. 'Forget him; I'll have a nice time tonight!'

(Korra's P.o.V end)

(Bolin's P.o.V)

"Ah that felt nice!" Rubbing my hair dry, I slung the towel over my shoulders for a bit while I made my way into the kitchen for a small snack. After resting up for a while and taking that shower I feel like a new man. It was late outside and out of the blue rain began to fall, it seemed ominous but then again a lot of things were said to be and weren't so I brushed it off. Thunder struck from outside and it made me jump slightly. "Wow its heavy out there." I felt sorry for anyone that was caught out there and wished them well. Locking the windows, I made my way towards the door to make sure it was locked tight when I heard something strange. "What the...?" Peering through the peep hole, I saw no one outside the door nor the hallway. "Who could have made that sound?"

"H-help..."

"Whose out there!?" I heard someone speak and they sounded close but you could never trust anyone that easily.

"Help please..."

I was glad for once that my floor near my door was left un-tiled. Making a makeshift bat from the dirt, I hid it behind me as I opened the door to my apartment. "No one there..." As I began closing the door, I felt someone grab my ankle and I raised the bat to swing.

"Bolin..."

'That voice!' Looking down, I was nearly scared out my skin. Not because of how they looked, but who it was. "Korra?!" She laid at my feet, her once beautiful dress water logged and covered in mud and her shoes in the same state. She was covered in scratches and bruises and even though I couldn't see her face, if her body was indication to her condition it probably wasn't in a good shape either. Melding the weapon back into the foundation into my house, I quickly scooped her up and held her close. "Who did this?" Brushing as much hair out her face as I could, I took notice that it was longer now and not just only hit her shoulders but cascaded down her back in soft waves. She was out cold so she probably couldn't hear me but that was just fine with me; there was enough time for that later. Right now I needed to get her out her clothes and clean her up. Whoever did this was going to pay dearly...
