From the moment that Korra Mustang Ed and Alphonse stormed the building something didn't feel quite right.


"Wait guys, something doesn't feel right about this" said Korra just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Yeah, I couldn't agree more kid" Mustang whispered.

"Lemme try something" Korra then stomped her foot (a trick she picked up from Lin before leaving Republic City for the Spirit World) and seen part of what didn't feel right the building was seemingly empty though the person in the basement was still on the floor but not moving anymore. "They're not in here anymore and the one in the basement isn't moving. Have the other teams check around outside to see if they're still in the area. I'm going to check the basement, Ed I'll need you to break open a small water pipe when we get down there." she finished and they all went to do what she said without fuss. Well almost...

"Wait why am I going with you girly?!" This coming from Ed.

"Because even though I created my own type of Alchemy I know next to nothing about traditional Alchemy the way you guys do" she admitted.

"Oh, well why you didn't just say so I'll never understand" said Ed stupidly and on to the basement they went.


Once there they saw a young man with squinty eyes and a long black ponytail dressed in clothing from Xing immediately Ed seemed recognized him ran and flipped him over the man had a two or three inch cut on his shoulder and was saying something about being hungry. At that moment Ed looked relieved and tried to help him up.

"Ed the cut in his shoulder could get infected break the water pipe for will you" said Korra as she looked him over.

"What is water going to do for Ling?" she now knew they met somewhere.

"Just do it" she barked back at Ed who wordlessly did so.

After the water began to flow out Korra used her "Alchemy" to cloak the water over her hand and set to healing Ling with it much to Ed's amazement.

When she was done she informed both of them that she would need a few more sessions to completely his cut shoulder.

"Thanks" said Ling bowing but Ed just continued to stare blankly. After a moment he said "That wasn't Alchemy was it Korra?" much to her surprise.

"You're right, it's not but no one else must know besides Alphonse alright Ed, that goes for you too Ling got it?"

"Yeah I guess I owe you that much" said Ling "but sadly I don't know about what Greed will end up doing he's always unpredictable unless he wants something"

"Um... what?" said Korra obviously confused by Ling.


After Ed explained what happened to Ling after their initial meeting with the being known as Father, Korra understood who Greed was and asked why Ling still had control.

"The reason I'm still in control is because Greed and I agreed that, while we share body, that I would have control during the day and he would have it at night" he said in a matter of fact tone.

"Well I guess that makes sense" said Korra since she could understand what he was saying because Raava the Light Spirit was inside her and all her past lives most of which never knew Raava was there.

"So you have some explaining to do there Korra but first let's get Ling outside" said Ed.

"Yeah good idea they're probably wondering what we're doing in here and are most likely getting worried" said Korra.

"Except I'm an illegal immigrant" said Ling.

"Oh" said both Korra and Ed together.
