Korra's POV
I didn't know who this other firebender was, but I was not going to let Amon take his bending. Grunting, I got on my feet, and shot a rock at the back of Amon's head. He turned around to look at me and laughed.
"Young Avatar, do you really think you can stop me? Now, I'll leave youu to take care of your friend." Amon asked and vanished. Chi Blockers pushed the crowd out and soon, it was the three of us.
The firebender looked up at me and whispered. " Thank you, Avatar." I stared at him for a few seconds then turned all of my attention over to Kee. She still was in a ball on these floor.
Running over to her, I checked her pulse. Her heart was beating, kind of. The firebender ran over.
"I'll call for help."
"No, I can heal her, I learned from Katara when I was learning waterbending." Pulling out my emergency water, I stared to heal the mark on Kee's side.
"I'm Korra, by the way, and she's Kee." He might as well know our names. After all, he knows that I am the Avatar.
"Mako," he said still looking at Kee, limp on the ground. After about a minute of healing, Kee groaned and pressed her hands to her head.
"Urrg, I feel like Naga sat on my head," Kee looked up and her eyes locked on Mako. She started to scoot back and held her side.
"Kee, lay back down, I'm not done healing you," I said. With another look in Mako she lyed down and let me resume my healing.
"So, Mako," I said, "why does you name sound so familiar?" He was expecting that question because in his eyes, I could see him search for some good to say.
"I work for Chief Bei Fong, and also," he paused for a second and paused, "I also play for the Fire Ferrets." I was one of the biggest Fire Ferret fans. All of them were on the streets for one point in their lives, plus their bending was amazing.
"Wow that's so cool!" I said excitedly. Kee rolled her eyes, Pro Bending was always quite silly to her.
"Well, we better get going before cops show up to arrest us," Kee said as soon as I healed her side. Noddinng in agreement we left. Turning to Mako, I said good bye and followed Kee.
As soon as we were out of earshot, Kee whispered, "Sorry Korra, there was just something I didn't trust about, like that way when your asked to by thing from those street guys who sell you stuff."
I ccouldn't help but agree with her, Mako acted like he was hiding something. Something bigger than the fact he was the best rookie in the whole leage.
Finding Naga right where we left her, we climbed on her back and rode off into the night.
That night we found an old apartment in the slums of Republic City. I got the couch while Kee got the bed. She need a goods nights rest to help heal the wound.
"Korra, I just thought of something, we forgot the masks."
It was too late to worry about this, so I just said, "We'll buy new ones in there morning." I tried to ignore the fact that we were running loss on money and those mask weren't cheap. Finally, a few hours later, I fell asleep.
In the morning, I was the first to wake up. Kee was still asleep on the bed so I went out and got our extra clothes from Naga.
My polarbear-dog was lying outside our door, unable to come in because of her size. I grabbed my blue tank top and pants and Kees's red shirt and pants.I changed and by the time I was done, Kee woke up.
"Korra, I have something to tell you," Keee said as she pulled off her top and put the red one on," I got a job at Quans to help get money." I smiled at that. Kee was even more worried about money than I was, and she solved the problem for there both of us.
"Good job Kee," and I really meant it.
