A/N: Hello again! This chapter I wrote, hope you enjoy! It will also be up on Hoboeatingjam's story.
Oh, and I should warn you. I should have said that before, but... WARNING: there will be some harsh curse language in this story. That rating is for a reason after all.
I do not own The Legend Of Korra in any shape or form, and neither does Hoboeatingjam. If I did, I would have made a fifth season.
Chapter II
-Catherine's POV-
Oh god, this bed is so comfortable.
Even if you have to share it with Kayla?
I shared a womb with her, ya think I care about a bed?
Good point.
I cracked my eyes open and glanced at the clock opposite of the bed. It stated that it's now 5:40. The time to get up.
I slowly rose from my side of the bed, which is always the right one. I'm right and Kayla's left. That's been like a rule from childhood. I tossed my legs over the bed and stretched a bit. I slept with my clothes on and Kayla did too. You see, when you're wanted you don't know when it will be time to get up and run. And even though it would be very amusing for everyone to see us running through the city in pajamas, I didn't think so.
Or, of course, we could stay and fight. Kayla was a top-notch firebender. No one taught her though that art. She learned it herself. I still can't figure out how exactly. I, on the other hand, was born a non-bender. Not wanting to be weaker than my sister, I learned all sorts of different fighting techniques. I know can do all sorts of things, from running on a rope in the sky, to being able to pin a fly to a wall by a knife. Not to mention I can't be hit, but I can sure knock the air out of anyone.
''Kayla.'' I whispered to my sister. She always had a difficult time getting up. Gladly I was here to fix it.
You mean, WE are here to fix it.
We're the same person you idiot.
That's what you think.
Shut up. You can't do shit.
Wanna bet?
...I'll pass.
Kayla didn't show any reaction to my calling. Well, I did whisper. That was just because I could say that I tried waking her up by words. Next stage – contact.
I carefully poked my sister's arm. No reaction. I then gently shook her. Still nothing. Alright, then I'll move on to the next stage.
You could have just started with that. It's not like you're even trying with the first two.
I'm getting really tired with your bullshit.
When are you not?
Just shut up.
I looked around the room. I was looking for... ah, there it is. A guest room has to have a jug of water, right? Of course it does. It was sitting on a table near the wall about two meters away from Kayla. Good, good.
I stood up from the bed and walked over to it. Carefully picking it up, I took it to where Kayla slept and poured half of the insides over her head. The water must have been cold.
All hell broke loose.
Kayla immediately shot up screaming with wide eyes and a shocked expression. Her hair and head were completely wet from the freezing water. It took about a minute for her to understand what just happened.
''You knew that will happen if you didn't wake up after I called you.'' I said calmly, trying to keep a smirk away that was forming on my lips.
''I'll fucking murder you!'' She shrieked and released a fireball to my direction, which I dodged easily.
''Hey, you don't want to burn down Asami's house, do you?'' I snapped from the other side of the room now, even though I was mildly amused.
''If that's how you wanna play, the next time when you won't wake up, I'll fucking cook you!''
''Of course you will.'' I rolled my eyes and stood up. ''Come on, we better go already. You don't want to be late, now do you?''
''Hand me that towel over there now.'' She said irritated.
I eyed her for a second, then lifted half-full jug and and tossed the remaining water onto her. Before she could yell more, I ran to the window and jumped through of it. Sure, it was the second floor, but I've jumped from higher places before. I landed elegantly on my fours and quickly straightened up, walking a bit further. Even if I didn't want to wait for Kayla, I needed to, because she'd get lost very soon on her own. Even I wasn't exactly sure where the headquarters are.
I heard a light thud behind me, signaling that Kayla finally jumped out.
''God dammit Catherine, you just like pissing me off, don't you?'' Kayla growled as she came into my view.
''Yeah, I do.'' I simply stated. Then I began walking to the fence that surrounded the estate. Kayla was not in the mood of walking, so she ran.
When I got to the fence, Kayla was already on top of it and jumped to the other side. I did so as well, but the red-head didn't wait for me, and was now going to where she had no idea.
''You don't even know where their hideout is.'' I sighed. ''Follow me you uncooked duck.''
Kayla immediately turned around and faced me with pure rage in her eyes. I knew that she was going to comment on her nickname, so I just took off before she had the chance.
The place we needed to go was in the Downtown. From what I've heard, it's masked as a restaurant. I guess so that people wouldn't just stroll in not knowing what they will find, the place should be heavily guarded. And that's where we're headed.
Even though it was early, there were still people already (or still) walking around the city. It's a busy place, no wonder. We were trying to keep in the shadows, not attracting too much attention, taking if we could the dark alleyways. We've seen some thugs hanging around there, but we pain no attention to their presence or replicas. You see, there aren't many women in the Underworld. Especially not teenagers. We became criminals when we ran from home, our foster home. That was when we were fourteen. Our mother died in from a disease when we were ten. Our father is nowhere to be found. He just disappeared after her death. They had no intention on looking for them. Neither do we.
''Alright, we're at the Downtown.'' I announced and slowed my pace. Kayla was walking right behind me.
''Do you know where it is exactly?'' She asked. Her hair was already dry from the wind.
''Kinda.'' I shrugged. ''Look for a restaurant with thugs around it.''
''You mean that one?'' She pointed at a gray building not too far from us. It looked much like the buildings that surround it. It was six stories tall and has a straight, dull gray facade with multiple windows on every floor save the first. The bottom-most floor has all the entryways, and the main entrance entrance was heavily guarded by what we assumed were thugs by their appearances.
''Yeah, that should be the one. That was quick.'' I stated and began walking over to the main door. Kayla was at my left side.
In the middle of the road we were stopped by two of the men. They just walked in front of us.
''You're at the wrong side of the city, girlies. I suggest you go back to school.'' The first one said.
''Technically it hasn't started yet. But now I see we came to the right place.'' I said calmly.
''Go back to your mommies if you don't want to end up in a hospital.'' The second one snapped. They were getting irritated.
''Normally I would be up for a fight, but now is not the time. We were sent by...'' I tried to remember the name. ''...Shady Shin, was it?''
''You know 'im?'' The bigger and scarier one asked with narrowed eyes.
''Technically speaking yes.'' I smirked. ''We're here because of him. They're waiting for us.'' I crossed my arms.
''I'll go check.'' One said suspiciously and went to the main entrance. He was gone for a about a minute, but then came out and said that they really were waiting for us. He was shocked actually.
Not waiting for anything we walked over to the door, a bit of arrogance radiating from us. It was always a wonder to everyone how two girls managed to get into this many criminal organizations.
The inside was nothing special. The main room had many wooden round tables and chairs to them. The walls had different ornaments on them, starting orange and ending green. It was really simple.
There were about six men inside the main room, one I recognized as Shady Shin, the man who one day came to us and offered to join their organization, the Triple Threat Triad. We weren't in any gang at the time, so why not?
''Shin, are these the girls you talked about?'' A man in a red chair with a fancy coat and a hat said. I made the assumption he's the leader. But for the life of me I couldn't remember his name.
It's Viper.
Oh damn, you actually remember it.
I told you we're not the same.
Yes we are. Now shut up. I gotta focus.
''It's a pleasure to meet you.'' I said with my most sweetest voice. ''You can call me Black Heart, or just Black.'' I introduced.
''And I'm Red Rage, or just Red.'' Kayla added with a completely different tone.
''Shin, what the hell, they're just kids!'' One man exclaimed. He was a firebender, everything about his looks said that. He had a scar through his eye and he wore a brown jacket, over which he had a red scarf. The man was leaning to a wall on the left of Viper.
''They're the Devil Twins, Ping.'' Shin countered.
''Well,'' Viper slowly stood up. ''I guess we'll just have to see how good they are.''
And with that a knife was thrown right in the direction of my right eye. My reflexes kicked in and I caught the knife by it's handle and it's sharp end just a centimeter from my eye.
''That was a near thing.'' I said indifferently. ''Good throw.''
I shifted I threw the knife to the man who said we're just kids. It hit the wall right above his head. He didn't have any time to move, and the shock paralyzed him. We just stood there with wide eyes.
One man broke into laughter and another followed. ''You missed!'' He teased.
''There was a fly.'' I replied with a calm expression. ''I don't like flies.''
That surprised them and one actually went to check. ''She really did hit a fly!'' He said shocked.
Wow, so they don't even know how to hit a fly. Pathetic. Even I could do that.
...And I just did. We're the same, remember?
No we're not.
Then what are you exactly?
...A secret.
Yeah right.
''Hahah, I like her!'' Viper laughed. ''Welcome to the Triple Threat Triad!''
