Mako's POV

I woke up early in the morning to find my girlfriend still curled up against my chest. Usually I'd drop her off at the sites where help was needed every day at 6am, but the dark circles under her eyes convinced me she needed a day off. Well from labor work, since she decided to join our vigilante squad, we still had stuff to take care of. Today was Lightning Bolt Zolt's hearing and I wanted to be there to see how Jet and Talia would handle their case. Nice name for a mobster right? Well if you must know, he got that nickname for having the fame of being a fast shooter. Of course, no one has seen my girlfriend shoot. And I'm not talking guns. Korra is pretty quick in archery. Tenzin has been training her in the 'old ways' since there apparently was some training she had to take being 'the one' and all.

She stirred in her sleep and snuggled closer letting out a content sigh. I chuckled at this and messaged Toza, informing him I wouldn't go into work today. I ran my hand up and down her back enjoying the face she was making before gently pulling away to shower. At first she stirred but then stilled when I placed Naga next to her. Korra liked having someone with her when she was sleeping. I grabbed my clothes and hopped into the shower.

Tonraq's POV

I didn't like the fact my eighteen year old daughter slept with her twenty-four year old boyfriend not one bit. My wife had known about it but the day I saw them next to each other I nearly killed him. If Korra hadn't stood in front of him the whole time I probably would have. But they both explained and promised they wouldn't do anything if I let them sleep together. In the ACTUALLY sleeping sense. I went into their room and found her sleeping with Naga. I smiled.

Careful not to wake her I sat next to her and caressed her cheek. She was all grown up now. I couldn't help but feel guilty about leaving her alone for so many years. I hadn't been there to protect her. My little Korra stirred and let out sigh before going still once again. Despite having wanting to murder her boyfriend at some point, I was glad he had entered her life. He had saved her from the underworld she had been thrown into, and I would always be in debt in him for that. My daughter slowly opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Dad," she muttered.

"Shh, go back to sleep."

"What time is it?"

"About six."

Korra groaned but nodded.

"I'll get up," she said sitting upright. I chuckled at how she rubbed her eyes as she did when she was little. I wrapped an arm around her and she leaned against my shoulder.

"You can sleep in," Mako said coming out of the shower. "We have some stuff to take care of in a few hours."

My daughter nodded and yawned falling asleep against my chest. Gently I placed her in bed and covered her with a blanket.

"Did you need something, Tonraq, Sir?"

"I told you not to call me sir," I reminded him.

He nodded.

"We were watching some surveillance videos at a bank that was robbed this morning," I began.

Mako cocked his head to the side.

"The alarm didn't go off?" he asked.

"Bolin and Asami got there as soon as they could but, she was gone by then."

"She?"

I nodded.

Mako's POV

When I came out of the shower Korra's father was there. She didn't need me telling her twice that she could sleep in. almost immediately she complied and fell back into a deep slumber, the dark circles under her eyes almost gone. Tonraq informed me of a bank robbery that occurred earlier. I had an alarm next to my bed for that, but Bolin must have silenced it so that he could take care of it.

"I want to see the video," I said.

"I have to warn you, it's a bit…peculiar," he said as his face showed some confusion.

I frowned but nodded.

"Are going to the cave?"

I shook my head.

"I want to keep her company," I said motioning to my girlfriend.

"I'll leave you to it," he said before leaving.

I took out my laptop and watched the surveillance video. A woman, around my age singlehandedly robbed the bank. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She took on the guards and the clerks with relative ease. I mean I have nothing against women not being strong, Korra was, but this…whatever she was, was a different deal. What caught my attention is how she wore loads of makeup and used a school bus to load all the money and boy was it a lot of money. I was finishing watching the video when Bolin and Asami walked in.

"Hey bro!" he said.

Asami and I glared at him before harshly whispering 'shut up' while motioning to my sleeping girlfriend.

"Sorry," he muttered.

Korra stirred but stilled once again. I sighed in relief.

"What happened?" I asked.

"She took the mobs money out of the bank," Asami informed me. "The only thing she left was the marked bills."

"How is that possible?"

"We don't know," my brother replied. "It's like she knew they were marked."

"She also left this," Asami added handing me a note.

'What doesn't kill you makes you…stranger,' it read. I frowned.

"What are we going to do?"

"Try to see if you can figure out who's under all that make up," I said. "Korra and I are going to catch a hearing in a few hours."

They nodded and left. Naga wagged her tail at me and hopped off the bed going after the pair. I chuckled and lay next to Korra hands behind my head. I wouldn't sleep anymore after all of these, but she needed someone next to her. As I knew she would, my girlfriend draped an arm over my chest and placed her head on it as well, letting out a sigh. I stifled a laugh before my mind drifted off to the situation at hand. Jet was back. So far he was acting like a 'white knight', which meant our retirement might come soon.

Korra didn't trust him, and there was something about him that led me to think that he could go to extremes, but the city needed someone to believe in and as of now, Jet was it. I was just some rich kid who owned the city. He was the one who could save it from the criminals that ruled it, legally anyways. I would stay a vigilante as long as it took. I smiled as I remembered when I told Korra about my…detective work.

"So you're a superhero?" she asked.

I chuckled.

"Vigilante is the proper word."

"But you help people."

"Not legally," I pointed out.

She nodded in understating.

"So do you wear a costume?" Korra asked.

I chuckled again and shook my head.

"No I don't," I replied. "We just wear some black suits. They are army like, but they are easier to wear and more flexible."

Korra nodded again before grinning.

"Tell me the costume idea never came to mind," she smugly said.

I smiled.

"It did cross my mind," I replied honestly.

"What would it have been?"

"A black suit, a mask, and a symbol."

She frowned.

"What symbol?"

"Something that I fear," I replied.

"And that is?"

"Can't tell you," I said

She pouted.

I was brought back to the present when Korra muttered my name in her sleep. I smiled and placed an arm around her waist. I'm not the type of guy who is afraid of a lot of thing. But the symbol I would have chosen for my 'costume' would reflect my fear, which I would use against my enemies. A bat. Yeah I know, weird. I thought about it. Batman. I smirked and shook my head. Now that would have been just...strange.
