Chapter 4

Back at the station, Sai was walking towards the interrogation cells, a folder in his hands and a plate of delicious donuts in the other.

He signaled to the officer guarding the door that he was ready to enter, and after being checked that he didn't have any weapons on him was let in.

The metal door was opened and as he stepped in he saw the grumpy form of the girl he and his team had just captured hours ago. She was wearing a new set of clothes as the ones she had previously worn, were just too dirty. The new threads were not flattering in the least, being a bright neon orange jumpsuit, making escape incredibly difficult.

Once he was fully in the room the only entrance was closed behind him.

"Well. Well. Well. What do we have here. A lone waterbender a long way from home. It took me sometime to gather enough information about you, Korra is it," he said as he placed the plate of donuts in front of her and opened up the folder.

"Says here that you and your dog, stowed away on a passing ship, that had been visiting a town in the Southern Water Tribe. The owner of the ship also mentioned that a week's worth of dried food was also missing. So illegal smuggling and theft."

"That's not fair, what were we supposed to do, starve to death!" she yelled out in outrage. How else was she supposed to feed Naga.

"How about, don't get on the boat in the first place," he said helpfully. Flipping throw a few more pages he began to speak again, "After you got off the boat it says here that you rode your dog-"

"Naga. Her name is Naga," Korra told him with a glare, still not happy what he had done to her pet.

Sai on the other hand did not look impressed, "-your DOG, down the road, and caused a total of two car crashes. A passing police officer also turned in a recent report of unauthorized fishing at the park by a girl and her polar bear-dog matching your description."

"Naga! I just told you what her name was," Korra yelled at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, am I upsetting you?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"Quite frankly yes," Korra stated as she crossed her arms and refused to look at him.

"Aww too bad, I don't care," the older male said cheerfully as he began to list more of her crimes.

Sai paced slowly around the interrogation room, each of his movements getting a guarded look from Korra. She was still unable to use her bending after the large man in front of her had hit the pressure points in her body.

The worst thing was that the lights above gave his glasses a sinister look and his constant smiling was irritating her.

"So then, my backwards water friend, pardon the pun, mind telling me what you thought you were doing in my city," Sai asked her.

"They were smashing up a shop, what was I supposed to do, stand aside and do nothing," she slammed her hands on the table and stood up to glare up at him.

All the silver haired man did was roll his eyes, shoving her back in her chair with a finger poke to the forehead, "How about calling the police, instead of smashing up the shop yourself."

"And what!? Just let them get away!?" she asked him disbelievingly at his answer.

"If you wanted to help, mind telling me why you threw one of them through a window?"

"…"

"No? How about, making their satomobile crash into the front of another shop. Tell me how that helped anyone. Your little vigilant act, caused two different people a lot of collateral damage, one of them might even have to take out a loan just to fix your mess," he questioned her, every one of his words causing the young girl to shrink into her seat.

"I want to talk to who ever is in charge," she demanded.

"Sorry, but you don't get to demand anything. Especially for someone in your position," the glasses wearing man stated, not liking her attitude at all.

Before she could retort back however the interrogation room was opened and Lin Beifong entered, "You want her, you got her."

Korra threw a triumphant look at Sai, getting a grumble from him. "You don't need to bother Chief, I had everything under control."

"I'm sure you did Officer Sai, but now I'm here. She wanted to talk and now she can. So speak up girl," Lin said in a tone that said she was not one to mess around with. He only let out a sigh and decided to take a spot in the corner and out of the way, but not before snatching the plate of uneaten donuts on the table.

"You're the chief" Korra asked.

"That's right, Lin Beifong, Chief of the Republic City Police. So do you mind telling me what you thought you were doing in my city," she growled out.

"Beifong? You're Toph's daughter! Then I don't see why your treating me like a criminal? She and Aang used to be friends. See, I'm the Avatar-"

"That has diddily squat to do with the mess your in. What my mother and one of your past lives did is of no importance to me. Some people might be impressed with your Avatar title, but know it won't get you any special treatment with me."

Korra got the point and started to explain, "This is just some huge misunderstanding, I'm the Avatar, I can't be a criminal-"

Lin broke in before she could finish and threw her son a fake look of surprise and spoke in the most sarcastic voice she could, "Oh then that explains everything. You hear that Sai, she can't be a criminal because she's the Avatar. I didn't know Avatar were exempt from the laws. Sai look in the rule book and tell me where it says that the Avatar doesn't have to follow the rules."

Sai didn't say anything before taking out a book from his uniform and began to flip through it until he reached a random page. With a shocked look he mumbled to himself and looked at his mom, "Well I'll be damned, it says right here that the Avatar can choose not to follow the law?"

"Really?" Korra said hopefully.

Snapping the book shut, Sai gave her a deadpan gaze, "No."

The young waterbender deflated into her seat, realizing that she had been tricked.

Lin gained a small smile at that before she controlled herself, "As you can see Avatar, you are still subjective to the laws of the common man just as much as anyone else."

A knock at the door interrupted them, and a voice called out, "Chief, Councilman Tenzin is here to speak to you concerning the matter with the Avatar."

"Let him in," the middle-aged woman said with a scowl.

Tenzin stepped into the room, his gaze immediately went to the silent orange clad girl in the chair. He gave a tired sigh before putting on a cheerful smile, "Lin, you're looking as radiant as ever. And Sai, your looking umm, bigger than last time?"

"I am, aren't I," Sai said as he nodded and began to touch his biceps. They were practically the same height after all, the only difference being that Sai had lean muscle everywhere on his body, thanks to all the physical activities that his job demanded. He was 6'4'' and weighing in at 256 pounds of pure muscle, a practical Adonis compared to the other males in the city. That, coupled with his handsome face and vast wealth made him the most eligible bachelor in the entire city. The only reason why he was still single, was because no one wanted to face the wrath of Lin Beifong and the police force she commanded.

"Cut the garbage Tenzin. What is the Avatar doing in my city? I though you were supposed to be moving to the South to train her there," Lin cut to the chase.

"Not to worry Lin, the Avatar will be going back to the South Pole immediately. So if you would be so kind to drop the charges, I will take full responsibility for her and pay for any damages she might have cost," the tall councilman pleaded.

Lin looked at her son as they had a silent conversation. After a few seconds they nodded, and she spoke again, "Fine, get her out of my city."

The cuffs on Korra's hands were opened by a gesture of Lin's hands, but before she could start celebrating Sai cut in, "Your dog however will have to stay."

"What?! why?!" the small girl asked outraged.

"Do you have her registration form?"

"Her what?"
"I guess that's a no. All animals that weigh more than 700 pounds must be registered before they can be let lose in the city. However, seeing as you are leaving, I'll do you a favor."

"What's that," Korra said suspiciously.

"Once you get back home, I'll mail her to you. And don't worry, I'll be sure to put enough food in the cargo hold I put her in," said the police officer with a mocking grin.

Korra became enraged at his audacity and was about to give him the beating of his life, bending or no bending, "Why you-"

"Enough! Korra, you are in enough trouble as it is, don't make things more difficult," Tenzin warned her, quieting her down immediately, but she was glaring at the smiling man with all the hate she could muster.

"Some advice Tenzin. Tell the White Lotus, that the next time she decides to visit somewhere, that she should at least learn the laws."

Tenzin nodded, "I'll be sure to tell them to add it to her lessons. Come on Korra."

As they were walking away Lin threw her an 'I'm watching you' look, one that Korra mockingly returned. Just as she was exiting the room she felt a something painful hit her butt.

Looking back, she could see a tiny needle piercing her jumpsuit, attached to a wire that lead to the watch that was on Sai's wrist. His other gloved hand was coursing with electricity and he made a 'no, no' gesture with his finger before pressing a button on the side of the watch and the wire was retracted back in.

Korra made a hasty retreat once she had gotten the warning.

"…Soooo, what do you think?" he asked his mom once they were both alone.

"I don't like her," Lin answered honestly, "You can tell right away that she has no idea how the real world works."

"That's true. Do you think Tenzin will actually take her back?"

"Unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on it. Tenzin has always been too softhearted for his own good," the middle-aged woman admitted.

"Damn, you too. We should be on high alert, with her in the city it will provoke the gangs to act. Tensions will run high and I wouldn't be surprised if another turf war broke out by the end of the week to claim as much power before she could really get a foothold in the city," Sai voiced the same thoughts that she had been having.

"I'll make sure to put the rest of the department on high alert for any signs of gang activity." She was already making plans and setting patrol routes in her head.

The young man however had to cut in before she could lose herself, "We might also have another problem."

Looking at him she had to ask, "Problem? What kind of problem?"

"This Avatar seems to be stupidly naïve. She was easy to goad the entire time I was talking to her and seems that she lacks any form of emotional restraint, anyone even politicly savvy will easily be able to manipulate her into acting the way they want. From what I can tell, Amon and the rest of the Equalist will take this opportunity to further their agenda."

"Damn, I didn't think of that," she said as she entered Chief mode, "based on what you have investigated so far, what do you suspect their next move to be."

Sai got into a thinking pose, "If it was me then I would start by making a statement to the rest of the populace. Probably go after one of the major gangs to prove that the Avatar isn't the only one that can deal with the threats in the city. Then I would try to paint her as childish and inexperienced, trick her into a situation she can't win and make her fear me. There is however one glaring problem?"

"What's that?"

"The Equalist should have just been a low-level group, but from all the equipment and training that the few Chi blockers we have encountered have had, it means they must have a strong backer, someone important enough that they could hid their entire group without us noticing."

"As I suspected. I suppose you have already made some plans if things start going south," she threw him a glance, knowing that he never did anything without having some plan of sorts.

"A couple but I'm still unsure how effective they will be without knowing the full details of their abilities," Sai admitted.

"…Fine. As of this moment I give you free rein over this situation. You are to do everything in your immediate power to investigate the situation. I want to a report on what we are looking at, and I want it yesterday," she ordered him, getting a large grin from him.

Letting the lights illuminate his glasses he asked with a crazed grin, "Everything? Are you sure about that?"

"I know I'm going to regret it but yes. Use the full extent of your abilities to deal with anything that comes up," the smaller woman said as she saw his eyes begin to flash through ideas.

"Perfect."

(Scene change)

Sai was in ecstatic. For the first time since he joined the police, he could finally do things his way.

Looking at his watch he could see that he still had a couple of hours left before he needed to pick up Asami at her home. He drove down the highway until he began to hear the noises of loud music and heavy machinery moving. Exiting the highway, he saw his destination at a distance.

Happy Land Amusement Park, an attraction park that he had designed and later finished creating back when he was ten. It had been a joint project between Blue Cross and Future Industries, something as a gift to the entire city as well as an amazing tourist attraction. It was also the place that he took Asami on their first 'official' date. The entire thing was circular in shape with half being a waterpark and the rest having Avatar themed rides and games. Even as he neared he could see the giant ferris wheel with multicolored lighs slowly rotating in a circle and the distant screams of patrons riding the rollercoasters.

As he neared the tall steel gate that enclosed the entire park, he waved a pass to the security guard to show who he was, not that there was a need to, since he was the only 19-year-old with white hair in the entire city. Once they confirmed his identity he was let in the restricted section of the park, where only employees were allowed to enter. There weren't many people in the park, seeing as it was still the middle of the day, and the children were still in school. Still in his uniform he walked towards one of the attractions, it was the tunnel of love, a romantic boat ride where couples would go into a dark five-minute-long tunnel, where no one could see them.

After he boarded the swan-shaped boat, he let it gently guide him towards his destination. Once he was two thirds of the way in he clicked a button on his watch, and a low-level flashlight was activated to help him see in the pitch dark. Standing up on the rocking boat he scanned the walks of the tunnel until he found an almost invisible handle. Grapping it, he slid it to the side to reveal a hidden panel with a lever, which he proceeded to pull down.

He heard a click showing the it had worked, and the boat gave a shudder before it fell through the hole that had appeared in the water below. Sai gave a sigh of annoyance as he fell with the boat and brazed himself for the impact.

Thud.

The hole had given way to a long twisting tunnel, like one of the water slides outside. He didn't have to worry about anyone else finding this place since the entrance would close as soon as something entered it.

It took only a short time before he reached the end of the tunnel, a guardrail stopped the boat from crashing into the metal covered ground, but Sai was launched out. Thankfully his reflexes helped him land safely. Standing in front of him was a set of heavy metal doors, which were made up of a titanium alloy and refined until not even his dear mother could bend it. Inserting a key into the only slot he pushed the doors, it opened up to a huge rectangular underground hanger with the walls covered in white tiles and the ceiling covered in metal beams. This underground cavern that he had built for his secret lab was one of many recently formed caverns that had been a result of the earthquake he had made when he was five. Above this was a large man-made lake that was created for Happy Land's aquatic theme park. Not only was it well hidden but thanks to the water, not even his mother's seismic sense could find it. Everything had been carefully planned and it had taken him years of hard work to create it, but he had managed it.

The lights immediately lit up the room as he walked towards his workshop, passing experimental satomobiles and motorcycles that lined one side of the room. He briefly stopped to see a glass display with two black skin tight armored costumes, a male and female version that looked like they were a few sizes too small for him. Absentmindedly he rubbed his right glove where underneath was circular scar on the palm of his hand that ran all the way through the back.

As he continued to walk he passed numerous tables filled with gadgets and small metal pieces scattered everywhere, but the most important equipment he had ever created was his computer. It had taken him four years of constant tinkering to finally make one, and at first he didn't know what it was but once it had been completed the information just poured into his head. It was thanks to this that he was able to make many of the more advanced machines.

The giant monitor sprung to life as he neared it. Clicking a couple of buttons on the keyboard he was shown the hidden cameras that he had installed all over his base, the theme park, and parts of the city. Video was another amazing invention that had appeared in his head, it allowed him to capture a sequence of images to a tape and watch it at a later time. This helped him track crime and other important events in the city, it was also a little illegal which was the reason for him keeping it a secret.

Sai opened up a different folder which was labeled Equalist and began to look over everything that could be of use. Looking over the information he made another folder and labeled it Countermeasures. The glasses wearing man might not now what he was up against, but that didn't mean he couldn't plan ahead, and at the rate things were going, he was looking at a fast-approaching civil war.

(Scene Change)

Sai checked himself one more time in the rearview mirror, making sure that he was properly groomed, and his tie was on straight. His hair was styled back with gel, he was wearing a white suit with a dark grey vest and grey shirt underneath, a simple pink rose pined on the left breast. Once he was at least presentable he got out of the car and walked to the front of the house.

'I hope this goes well,' Sai thought nervously, as he knocked on the door. He truly wanted to patch up their friendship again, seeing as they had left on such bad terms before.

The doors opened, but it was not Asami who opened it, but instead her father, Mr. Sato. He had a large smile on his face as he saw Sai.

"Good evening Mr. Sato," he greeted with a smile and tried to go in for a handshake.

"Ah Sai, it is so good to see you here again my boy, I rarely see you anymore," the older man said as he took the hand and brought the taller man into a bear hug. "You can't believe how much it pleases me to hear that you and Asami are finally patching things up. I expect that it'll be just like the old days, with you two sneaking kisses and I pretending not to notice, hahaha-"

"Actually Mr. Sato, I don't think that's possible now. This is just a friendly get together to welcome her back," explained the Beifong male as he tried to dislodge himself from the hug that was getting progressively stronger.

"Hahaha, always the jokester. Please call me Dad, your practically part of the family."

"…"
"…Please Son, you need to take her back. You can't imagine how devastated she was once she had calmed down enough and seen what she had done when you two broke up. All I have ever wanted was for my daughter to be happy, I can't go back to the nightly crying and the moaning. I just can't! I don't know how to deal with that," Mr. Sato unloaded his worries.

"I'm sure it's not that bad," Sai said as he finally managed to get free, "it's been a long time. I'm sure she's moved on by now. We've probably changed a lot since then, I'm unsure if we're even compatible anymore."

"(Sigh)I know. It's just that you remind me of myself so much at your age. When ever you and her were together it always brought a smile to my face, reminded me of my wife and I. I had hoped that you two would stay together forever, unlike us, that you would eventually marry, and I could leave my company in two sets of capable hands. I never once had to worry that you were with her just for the money or the fame, like so many of the other boys that tried to get close to her. I knew that you really cared about her and despite my initial support to separate you two I hoped that you would get together again once you both matured a bit. No matter what you might think, I always felt that the accident was largely my fault. I should have paid more attention, spent more time with her when she was growing up instead of wasting my time in my lab," the CEO of Future Industries admitted to his regrets.

Sai didn't know what to say, so he stayed quiet.

Putting himself back together Hiroshi straightened his clothes and put on a grand smile, "You're right however, you are not the same boy from back then. You've grown to be a wonderful young man that has not only become a brilliant police officer, but also a great example of what non-benders can do. I'm also proud to say that my dear Asami has also changed from the young rebellious teenager that she once was, blooming into a lovely young lady."

"Really? I could never have imaged that," the silver haired youth said dumbfounded. His mental image of her was that of a short haired girl dressed in a green jumpsuit, her face covered in grease stains, and a large wrench in one hand, a real grease monkey if he ever saw one.

"Hahaha, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised," the proud father said as he led the young man into the mansion until they were at the foot of a large staircase, "She should be finished any second now. I'll just leave for a moment. A word of warning before I go. Asami still cares a great deal for you, she would write letters every week asking how you were. I have no doubt in my mind that she wishes to get back together, and if she is anything like before, expect she won't give up without a fight."

Sai watched as the man left him and thought of the last time he had seen Asami.

A bandaged Sai saw a girl with short black hair and a white dress board a passenger ship, he was dressed in patient clothes and had a crutch under his armpit to stead himself on the peer. Even from this distance he could see the tear that came out of her light green eyes. It broke his heart seeing her so unhappy, but he knew that it was for their own good.

As he waved the ship goodbye, he could just make out her form leaning on the rails. He was unsure if she had seen him, but he sincerely hoped she couldn't or else she would see the tear marks on his own face.

His love for her had never diminished even after all this time, but at least it would never control him like before.

As if to prove him wrong, he felt someone punch him in the shoulder, as he was too busy keeping an eye on the staircase.

At the same time, he heard a feminine voice from behind. It was voice that sent shivers down his spine and made his heart beat painfully fast.

"Hey there lightning rod. It's been awhile."

(Next Chapter)

Staring into her eyes he knew just how dangerous she was. Those same lovely eyes that he used to enjoy gazing into, now scared him. How was it possible that even after all this time, she still had so much control over him? It was like a spell had been cast, turning him into a mindless puppet who would do anything to make her happy, the saddest part was that all he could see in those beautiful green orbs was pure and unconditional love.

She leaned in close, her hands were wrapped around the back of his neck and he could feel her breath on his lips. She closed her eyes and in a soft seductive whisper she spoke the words that he had been longing to hear.

"Kiss me."

A/N: Another chapter finished, hoped you enjoyed it.

So, Sai has a 'Batcave' underneath the amusement park, and the things he builds are obviously more advanced than anyone else has created but seeing as mecha suits are literally only a few months away, that is not saying much.

Sai does not like Korra at this time seeing as she is too stuck up for his taste.

Mr. Sato is all for Asami getting back together with Sai, while Lin is against it. Sai on the other hand is hesitant seeing as he had seen where that road would lead.

Also get ready for more mother-son Beifong Trolling, the best trolling ever created.

*Random buff blonde mustached man rips his shirt off and begins to randomly flex with sparkles around him*

"This trolling technique has been passed down the Beifong family line for generations."
