Chapter four: Air Temple Island

Song had been living with the couple for about a week. She was usually silent and they didn't know much about her. Not even her parents. They knew she wouldn't open up right away. She usually slept soundly at night.

Korra had taken her out once. She got her some new clothes. Song was enjoying everything and accepting anything they had to offer. But they still couldn't figure one thing out.

When were they going to tell people about Song?

Mako brought it up once, but they never got around to it. Korra sighed and stood up from the couch, grabbing her parka from the coat rack.

"Song, come with me," She said holding out her hand.

Song took it without hesitating. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"I want you to meet someone."

Mako was at work, so she got to skip having an argument with him. But, of course, she would deal with that later.

They had boarded for a ferry to Air Temple Island. Song seemed uncomfortable around Naga. But she was sure they'd be good friends in a week or so. Korra looked at Song, who was hanging onto the railing of the ship and trying to look at the water. It was the fall season, and rather cold.

Mako hadn't asked for his scarf yet back. It still was wrapped around her neck.

She smiled and walked over to stand next to her. They waited for the ferry to dock. Really, Korra wasn't sure what to expect from Tenzin. She already knew the air-bender kids would be cornering her asking her questions. Korra decided she'd stay by her side.

The avatar took a deep breath and took Song's hand again. She wasn't sure what to expect. The walk off of the ferry was short, and they were soon walking towards the home the family lived in. Song was trying to hide behind Korra's leg, which was convincing.

"Korra!" The air-bender kids yelled with joy as they ran over to her. Ikki immediately noticed Song hiding. "Who's that? Why does she have blond hair? Who is she-"

"Slow down, Ikki!" Korra stopped the hyperactive girl. "This is, Song." She said before taking Song's hand again and leading her inside the house.

Pema spotted her and smiled. "Ah, Korra, it's nice to see you again." Korra hadn't seen the woman for a few weeks now. She had noticed Song a few moments later. "I see you have a visitor, who is this?"

"This is, Song. Mako brought her in and-" She was then cut off by an ahem from across the room. She looked to see Tenzin standing in the doorway.

"A word, Korra," He said while motioning her to step into his office. Korra sighed, not wanting to leave Song alone with people she just met. But instead she followed him into his office and folded her arms seeing the look on his face.

"Who is she?" He asked calmly.

"Song."

"Where did she come from?"

"Mako found her on the streets."

The air-bender sighed and looked at the floor, slowly shaking his head. "And what are you going to do with her?"

"We don't know yet." Korra replied, seeming almost angry.

"What do you mean you don't know? Once you take in a child, you can't just kick her out! Do you think you can possibly take care of a child?"

Korra didn't want to reply, until she heard the words "Avatar Aang would have never done this!"

Tenzin knew he should never compare her to Avatar Aang, or any other avatars at that. "I know Avatar Aang wouldn't have done this, I wasn't even the one who brought her in! And hearing this from you also makes me know I'll be a terrible mother!"

"Korra, I-"

"Whatever," She said before turning on her heel and walking out of the airbender's office. Korra took Song's hand began to walk out; not even saying anything to Pema or the airbender kids.

Korra didn't even know what Bolin or Asami would think of this.
