KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
It had been 3 weeks since Korra and Asami had been sent back in time. In that time Korra had been going through her old training routine in the South Pole While being sure to keep up her skills in Airbending as well as all the sub styles of Bending she had learned over the years in secret. (In my head she would have learned everything short of flying and to be fair she can already do that in 3 languages anyway.)
Several White Lotus masters as well as Master Katara were standing in over Korra and her training arena. "Alright Korra, you insisted that you were ready. So, let's see how much you've learned." Korra's Firebending instructor said as Korra bowed to the White Lotus members and Master Katara before turning to the 2 Firebenders she was going to spar with.
Korra and the Firebenders stood there for a few moments before a bell rang which signaled them to start their match and Korra's Firebending test. In the blink of an eye Korra rushed forward as the 2 Firebenders launched blasts at her which she easily dissipated with her own Firebending. She then easily flipped over her 2 opponents and landed in a Probending stance and hitting them in the back with a few quick jabs.
"She's good." Katara said as she looked on at the match with an extremely impressed look on her face.
"Incredible. She's almost like a completely different fighter." Korra's Firebending teacher said breathlessly as the rest of the White Lotus members looked on in amazement.
The 2 Firebenders launched a wall of flame at Korra who then shot 4 powerful streams of fire out of her limbs to launch her self up over the wall and then while in the air she held up the index and middle fingers of her right hand and fired out a blast of lightning in between the 2 Firebenders which knocked both them both to the ground and knocking them out, much to the shock (no pun intended) of the masters.
"I didn't know that you had taught her how to use Lightningbending." Katara said as she turned her head to the Firebending Master.
"I... I didn't." The master said with a slack jawed expresion on his face as Korra walked towards the platform before bowing to them.
"So how did I do?" The young Avatar asked the still slack jawed masters who after a few moments were able to recover.
"Ehem. Korra, you have exceeded our expectations with your Firebending..." The Firebending master began and you have shown marked improvement in both your focus and your temper." 1 of the White Lotus member stated.
"Therefore we believe you are ready to move along in your training and begin training in Airbending." Another one of the masters confirmed.
"Thank you, Masters." Korra said with a bow before walking away. Though not without getting a curious look from Katara.
A few hours later, Korra was sitting in her room meditating.
::Hey, Rava?:: Korra telepathically asked the Light Spirit.
::What is it Korra?:: Rava asked already guessing her what her host wanted to talk about.
::Why do you think we haven't been able to connect to Wan or the others yet?:: The Avatar asked.
::Remember Korra, even tough we have been sent back to the past before the link was broken. We were still cut off from the other Avatars for nearly 3 years.:: Rava explained.
::So it take a long time for us to get back in contact.:: Korra concluded.
::Be patient, Korra. I'm sure we'll be able to make contact again soon.:: Rava said, trying to comfort Korra and getting a smile for her effort.
"ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?" Korra heard a high pitch voice asking over and over.
"Hey, that's Ikki." Korra said as she was snapped out of her meditation. "Sounds like she's about... 15 minutes 32 seconds out." Korra said with a chuckle. But the funny thing was that she was spot on in that guess of the timeframe of how long it took Tenzin's family to land.
"ARE WE THERE YET? ARE WE THERE YET?" Ikki kept asking an extremely annoyed Tenzin.
"YES! Ikki, we are... Finally... here." Tenzin said in an exasperated sigh before everyone got off of Oogi to be greeted by Katara and Korra.
"Hello, Tenzin!" Katara said as she pulled her son in to a hug.
"Hello, Mother. It is great to see you." Tenzin said before he glanced over to the Avatar. "Korra? My goodness, you've grown." He said with a smile.
"Really? I feel like I've actually shrunk." Korra chuckled before giving Tenzin a hug. "I'm glad your here, Tenzin." Korra said before Tenzin got a sad look on his face. "You're not staying are you?" Korra asked. Not that she really needed to because she already remembered from the first time.
"Perhaps it would be better if I explained this over dinner." Tenzin suggested before getting a reluctant nod from Korra. Though of coarse it was only an act.
A few hours later, Tenzin had just finished explaining about how there were some problem in Republic City that needed his direct attention. "So, you see it is impossible for me to stay here to train you." Tenzin said.
"Well then, maybe I should just move to Airtemble Island for training." Korra suggested.
"Absolutely not!" The head White Lotus master exclaimed. "It was Avatar Aang's express wish that you be protected until your training was complete." He said feeding Korra the same lie she had always been fed to cover up the danger from the Red Lotus.
"With all due respect. I'm sure the Airtemple has more than enough security. Plus wouldn't it be better if I got some real world experience." Korra reasoned.
"Korra. While I respect the maturity of your argument, I'm afraid I just can't train you right now." Tezin said apolgeticly.
Korra then let out an audible sigh. "I understand." Korra said in a defeated tone before leaving the room. ::So what did you think of my acting?:: Korra asked Rava.
::I must admit, it was quite impressive. I almost forgot we would be going to Repubic city regardless if they agreed or not.:: Rava said in a tone that showed that if she had a mouth, she would be smirking.
::Heh heh. Thanks.:: Korra replied as she walked in to her room and packed her things in to a bag including a rather large amount of Yuans that Asami had been subtlety been sending her every couple days. She then walked over to her nightstand and picked up a picture that Asami sent her of the heiress winking at the as she held 1 hand on her hip and the other was on the back of her neck. "I'll be there soon, babe." She whispered as she kissed the picture.
That night after Tenzin and his family had left, Korra was tying her bag on to Naga's saddle as she prepared to leave. "Nice night for a ride isn't it?." Korra heard from behind her.
"Master Katara." The Avatar said as she turned around. "Are you going to try to stop me?" She asked before Katara let out a soft chuckle.
"I know better than to try and stop an Avatar once they've made up their mind their mind." The older woman said with a smirk. "Besides, I agree with you. The world needs the Avatar to in it. Not in this compound." Katara stated before she walked up and put her hand on Korra's shoulder. "The world is yours to protect now. Keep it safe." She said before she and the Avatar embraced each other in a hug.
"Thank you, Master Katara." Korra said before seperating from Katara who then waved her a fond goodbye as she rode of on Naga.
(Scene change: Asami's lab under the warehouse.)
Asami had not been idle for the past 3 weeks herself. She had managed to set herself up with some pretty decent equipment behind Hiroshi's back and set it all up under the abandoned warehouse. (Think of it like a larger version of the first HQ from Arrow.)
Asami had just finished welding 1 of her latest projects as she prepared to leave for the night. However, just before leaving, Asami walked over to her workbench and picked up of picture of Korra winking and blowing a kiss at the camera.
"Get here soon." The heiress whispered before kissing the photo before heading out.
