"I'm going home, back to the place that I belong,

and where your love has always been enough for me"

~Daughtry

I frowned while Korra led us towards the giant building, Bolin bouncing animatedly as he tugged on our hands. "It's so big and nice and awesome and I want to live here- can we live here? Korra does your dad live here? Is he nice? Do you think he'll like me? I don't kn-"

"Woah woah woah little man, take a breath." I interrupt, laughing at his giddiness. Korra smiled at us before we entered the large building. We walked across the large lobby, noticing the looks we were getting. At first, I thought it was because Bolin and I disgusted them, but then I remember the clothes and haircuts… and the fact that we looked like every other person in the room, just a little less dressed up. Korra, on the other hand, was confidently ignoring the people who were staring and whispering and making her way quickly to the front desk.

"Excuse me…" Korra leaned over the tall desk that the secretary was currently at, paused in her writing and chewing on her pen. "Um, I need to talk to my… Tenzin Savett… like now…ish?" She asked nervously, making me realize that this was new to her.

"I'm sorry, miss, but Mr. Savett is not taking any visitors at the moment." The woman droned, seeming as if she had done this a million times already.

"I think he may just make an exception for me," Korra said with a raised eyebrow and a twinge of sass in her voice.

"And what makes you so spec-" The woman stops as she lays her eyes on Korra. She drops the pen that was in her mouth as it gapes open. "Oh my word, Miss Savett! I apologize! I had no idea that it was you!" The woman stresses, guilt riding her tone.

"No problem… So is now an okay time?" Korra asked.

"Let me just check right here…" The secretary said, tapping away at her computer. "Well, actually this is a perfect time!" She said excitedly. "He just got out of a meeting.. let me just go call up-"

"No!" Korra interrupts loudly. She covers her mouth sheepishly. "I mean.. no, I want it to be a surprise." She says, smiling nervously.

"Of course, dear." The woman says kindly.

Korra grabs my hand tightly and I look at her in surprise. She ignores my glance, obviously trying to regulate her breathing. Bolin snaps up Korra's other hand, and hops over the glossy tiles as we walk. "Where are the stairs, Korra? Can you carry me?" Korra laughs, seemingly recovering over her mini panic attack.

"Well, there's this magical thing here at the Willis Tower…. Called an elevator." She winked at him and tugged him along towards the shiny silver elevator.

"Wooooooaaaahh" Bolin gasps in awe. "But, could you still carry me?" He asks hopefully.

Korra smiles at him and picks him up off the ground gracefully onto her hip. She gives me a look and I know that we'll be talking about Bolin later. I know that he's way too small for a seven year old-maybe even for six, I mean, when we met I was only 12. I had guessed his age. All I knew is that he could crawl and was learning to walk and talk. I nod at her, letting her know that I understood.

We stepped into the shiny elevator, and Korra knowingly told Bolin which floor number to hit, which he did… several times. When we got the the floor, Korra set Bolin down, which he pouted at, giving her puppy dog eyes. She scowled at him and shook her head. "You two stay here while I go talk to my dad. Just… inside voices and no running." She said nervously, sounding like she was coaching herself also. "How 'bout you guys go check out the view?" she nodded her head towards the floor to ceiling windows. Bolin's eyes widened and he sprinted over to the windows, giggling loudly. Korra shook her head and laughed with me as we watched him break the two rules that she gave us. She put a hand on my back, unknowingly, and turned around to the new secretary who was already watching us in awe.

As she started talking I went over to where Bolin's face was pressed against the glass. I shoved him forward quickly before pulling him back whispering, "Saved your life!"

Bolin gasped silently, holding in a scream. "Mako!" He said disapprovingly. "We're supposed to be quiet and calm!" he chastised.

I laughed again, pulling him up into my arms. "You're right, little man," I took a glance back to see the secretary obviously swooning at Bolin and I. I look further and see a very tall, bald man hugging Korra like there was no tomorrow. They were whispering to each other, and I see the man glance at us, somewhat approvingly. He took a step back and gave us another look, before walking away.

Korra smiled widely and skipped over to us. "You guys ready?"

"For what?" Bolin asked before I could.

"To go home."
