The Revelation
Hiccup was currently in hot pursuit of a Equilist hostage vehicle. The group had kidnapped ten people had been kidnaped, all benders. The police had been aware of the group for some time but this was the first real illegal activity that they had committed. "Come on bud, let's get in front of them, "Hiccup said, cranking the pedal, the tail obliged and the two rocketed in front of them.
Hiccup looked back to the car, if he made a roadblock the car could flip and people could get hurt, same if he went for the driver. But take out the wheels, and it stops moving altogether. Hiccup thought. Slowing their speed, Toothless brought Hiccup alongside the van, Hiccup then shot out his cable onto the wheel, he then did something stupid. He hopped off Toothless's saddle and planted his feet onto the ground. The front and back weeks snapped off the hinges, the van skidded to a stop with sparks flying.
Toothless landed ontop of the van, as the kidnappers exited he swiped one of them away with his tail. Another one was about to escape into a alleyway but Hiccup recovered from his stunt and made a wall between the man and alley, he then shot a chunk of rock at his head. Hitting it's mark the man fell unconscious. Meanwhile Toothless was trying to open the door, "I got it bud." Hiccup said, using his metal bending to rip the doors off. Backup arrived a few minutes later.

Korra had just finished her training with the fire ferrets, the money issue was a concern, she had no money, Tenzin sure as hell wouldn't give that much to her. Hiccup...she could never ask him to do something like that. She couldn't explain why but asking Hiccup for something like that just made her feel bad, of course asking for money in the first place was bad, it just felt different when it involved him.
It wasn't just that but almost everything that included the guy made her feel...different. DAMIT what's the big deal!? Korra thought as she mounted Nagga.

"This is a first, literally." Hiccup said as he and his mother sat inside her office, "I agree, they aren't denying anything, in fact it's as though their feeding off this." Lin said as she stamped a arrest warrant. "Well what better way to get more people on your side than drawing sympathy from the families of the people we arrested." Hiccup said staring at the glass of water in his hand. Lin nodded in understanding, "It's a old tactic, but it's still effective." Lin said, watching Hiccup lifted the water out of the glass, twisting it into different shapes and sizes, "I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing you do that." she said, Hiccup nodded, "Yea, but thanks to Korra I'll have water bending under my belt in no time." Lin raised a eye, "You know your supposed to learn the elements in a certain order right?"
Hiccup dropped the water back into the cup, "Well since I'm not sure what my birth element is, there's no way to tell what order to go in." he reasoned, taking a sip from his cup. "True." Lin agreed. After a few more minutes of talking Hiccup had to leave for Tenzin's.

Toothless was flying Hiccup over the bay at quickly, it wasn't until recently until Hiccup realized that Toothless had been slowly becoming faster. It now took only fifteen minutes to get to the island instead of 30. And by the time he had gotten there he was just in time to see Mako and Korra about to leave. "Hey!" he called from the air, the pair landed beside the two, "What's up?" he asked, Korra looked to Mako, "We could use the help. And he's the police so he could always get some backup right?" Mako seemed to consider this, "Uhhhhhhh, can you guys fill me in?" Hiccup asked.
After they filled him in on the situation Hiccup agreed to help inside the boundaries of the law.

"So your best friend is a polarbear dog, somehow that makes sense." Mako said as they rode on the street, Hiccup looked at him skeptically "But the guy on the back of a dragon isn't shocking at all?" he asked, Toothless seemed to nod in agreement, "I read the newspaper." he put simply as they continued on. Hiccup had suggested that they stick together, better to coordinate that way.
After getting info from Skoochy they came upon the spot where the triple threats where told to meet. Mako and Hiccup took cover by the front door, before they could come up with a plan Korra kicked the door down, much to both his and Mako's surprise, "And that is why we don't anger Korra." Hiccup said, earning a snicker from Mako, Korra merely stuck out her tongue and entered.
Before they could search a car engine was heard outback, rushing out the three where just in time to see Bolin along with some others be taken away. "Toothless!" "Nagga come!" the avatars yelled, as the animals came Hiccup shouted, "I'll stay on the van from above you guys try to get to it from behind!" The two nodded and hopped on Nagga.
Hiccup soared into the air and fallowed the van, "Same as before bud!" he shouted over the wind, Toothless nodded as hiccup cranked into place. But before the could get close enough, two chi blockers climbed onto the roof and swung bolas at the dragon. Unfortunately one hit home and the two where brought down. The two crashed onto the ground, Hiccup managed to brace himself but Toothless wasn't as lucky. A dragons's skin can withstand rock but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Hiccup managed to get up, but before he could go after the kidnappers, a painful moan stopped him, he turned to see Toothless with a nasty cut on his paw. He couldn't go after them knowing that his best friend was in pain.
After minutes if trying to teat his wound when his friends arrived, "Hiccup! Are you alright? We saw Toothless go down and..." Mako asked but was interrupted as Korra rushed past him to check on Hiccup, "Are you hurt? Is anything broken? What where you thinking?" Korra asked as she looked him over, when she was sure he wasn't hurt too bad she encased him in a hug. Okay, breath, try not to focus on the two things pressing against your chest. Hiccup thought as he loosely returned it, "I'm not the one who needs help." he turned to his friend in the ground, Korra used the water from a puddle to heal the wound. "He'll be alright. But we need to find Bolin." Mako said pacing.
Hiccup thought for a moment, "Earlier today I stopped some guys who where doing the exact same thing as they where. They claimed to be Equilists. If we talk to them maybe they'll know where they took your brother." Hiccup reasoned, "Korra shook her head, "That would take too long, but I have a idea."

As the three sat down Korra reeled in the events of earlier, What the hell is wrong with me! First I can't stop thinking about him then I hug him!? she thought, "Sooo, how do you guys know the triple threats?" Mako seemed to caught of guard by the question, "Uhh, back when we where kids me and Bolin did some stuff for them." Korra shot straight up, "Whoa wait, are you guys criminals?" Korra shouted, "No!" Mako said, "I'd know if they where criminals, if anything there're...gonbas." Hiccup said, Mako sent him a look, "Hey I'm just saying, it's better than what some of them turn out to be." Hiccup said raising his hands in defense. "We used to run numbers for them, that's all." Mako said. Korra still held her gaze on Mako, "Can I ask how your parents died?" Mako let out a sigh, "They where struck by a fire bender when I was 8." he said drawing his scarf over his mouth, Hiccup placed a hand on his shoulder, "My ummmm mother found me in a raft floating in the Yue bay. If its any constellation." he said, Mako smiled and nodded, "It's enough."

Hiccup had been on a only a few stakeouts in I his time as a officer but he learned how to keep himself awake long enough. He was currently sitting against Toothless, trying to avoid his wounded arm. Korra had gotten up to get some food for the two of them since Mako had dozed off. He gave her enough for six of them. "You alright bud?" he asked his friend. He gave a rumble in response, "You guys are pretty close." Hiccup looked to see Korra with two bags and drinks in a earth tray. Hiccup smiled, "You still got some questions about him?" he asked, almost everybody had wanted to know about Toothless in some way, he even wrote a paper on it and gave it to the newspaper. Sold out by the afternoon. "Actually I want to know more about the guy who rides him." Korra said, handing him his food and drink. Hiccup was surprised, "What's there to know? I was found by my mom, Toothless found me, I am apparently a avatar, what else is there?" he asked.
Korra rolled her eyes, "I mean like you personally, what's your favorite song? How old are you? What's your favorite color for crying out loud!" Korra cried out in frustration. Hiccup was albeit a bit surprised, Toothless was his only companion for a time, and his mother knew everything that he did. "My favorite color is green, I'm seventeen, and I don't listen to alot of music." he said, Korra smiled, "Not exactly what I meant but it's a start." she said, giving him a light punch to the arm.
As the moments dragged on, the two started having trouble staying awake. Hiccup was about to get up and start walking when something slumped against his shoulder. It was none other than Korra who had drifted off to sleep. If I wake her up she'll probably kill me. He thought, But if I don't wake her up she might just shrug it off. Hiccup contemplated. Before he could make up his mind, Toothless's wing encased them, forming a blanket. Well that settles it. Hiccup thought before dozing off. Meanwhile Toothless was trying hard not to smile.

"STAND UP FOR EQUALITY! FIGHT THE OPPRESSION!" Hiccup slowly opened his eyes to see morning had come...and Korra was leaning on his shoulder. Wait what!? Hiccup thought before the two sprung away from each other, "I...uh..." Korra attempted, "Excuse me Mr and Ms lovebird but I think that's our guy." Mako said pointing to the man on the table.
"You!" the man said pointing to Korra as she approached, "YOU WILL NOT SILENCE ME!" his speaker blared, before she could do anything though Hiccup put a hand up, "Who said we wanted to silence you?" he said, Mako and Korra looked at him as though he flipped, "We just want to talk. Calmly." the man eyed Hiccup strangely, "Why would you want that bender?" he asked, "Because we're both reasonable guys here." he still wasn't convinced, "How 'bout this. I know where the police are holding your guys form yesterday at, you tell me where my friend was taken and I'll tell you where they are." He considered his options. He gestured him to come close, whispering it in his ear and handing him some flyers, Hiccup did the same.
After they where done, he led Korra and Mako to the animals, "Okay I'm confused, your Lin Bei-Fong's kid! What the hell!?" Korra asked, "Give me a sec." Hiccup said, he waved to a officer, "Hey Shen!" he called, "Hiccup! How are ya? Been a while." Shen said shaking his hand, "Yea it has, look I'm in a rush,could you take some guys to that old steak out hose by the theatre?" he asked, Shen nodded, "Sure thing. We getting some visitors?" Hiccup smiled, "Yep."
Korra was in awe, "You straight up lied to the guy's face?" Mako was impressed, "And set him up for a ambush. Nice." he said, Hiccup shrugged, "Gandma Toph taught me how to lie without getting caught." he said as he got onto Toothless, "I'm gonna go by the station to pick up some disguises. Meet me at the at the corner of Wan and Roku!" he shouted as he took off.

After picking up the cloths he met the others and changed into the cloths, Hiccup wore a brown trench coat and hat to conceal his identity. The three traveled down the street looking for anything that looked like a hideout. Toothless was jumping roof to roof to avoid being spotted. Seeing some people head into a old wear house, "This looks like the place." Mako said as they walked toward the entrance. Hiccup almost didn't notice Korra's arm encase his.
After waving the man the flyers they entered to see the rally about to start. Amon walked onto the stage, after showing his power Hiccup scanned the room he saw Bolin at the end of the line. "Here's what we do, you and Korra find a way to distract everyone, I'll grab Bo when I get the chance." Hiccup and Korra nodded at the plan.
The Avatars made their way into the boiler room, avoiding any guards, "So...how do we break it?" Korra asked, turning to Hiccup "What are you looking at me for?" Korra shrugged, "I don't know, channel the Toph or something." Hiccup was about to respond but someone interrupted, "Hey what are you two doing back here?!" the two turned to see the doorman with a large wrench in his hands, "Looking for the bathroom?" Korra supplied, he wasn't amused, "You keep working on the pipes I got him." Hiccup said, Korra looked at him then back to the man, "I'll be fine, I've fought guys bigger than him before now go!" Korra nodded.
Hiccup turned just in time to duck from the man swinging the wrench, he then hit the man on the side of his kneecaps, he still had his gauntlets. As he fell to his knees Hiccup brought his knee up to his chin, dazing him. As he was about stand back up, Hiccup kicked him on the side of the head. Knocking him out.
Korra was surprised, "What? I'm tougher than I look." Hiccup said taking off his hat. "Any luck?" he asked, "I'm thinking we should test out your waterbending skills." Hiccup looked at the boiler, "I'm game." he said, they both got on both sides of the machine, they raised their arms, and began to swirl around, making the water pressure build up. After only a few seconds the thing bursted out in steam, clouding the hallway. "Does that mean I pass the test?" Hiccup jokingly asked, Korra smiled, "It does in my book now come on!"
As the two made their escape they threw off the disguises except for Mako's scarf. The two arrived just in time to save the brothers from the Lt. Thinking fast Hiccup threw out his fist, sending a blast of fire to the unsuspecting villain. He was sent back into the wall, knocking him unconscious, "You two okay?" Korra asked as she helped Mako off the ground, before they could reply a equilist spotted them, Korra and Mako hopped on Nagga and rode off, "Toothless come!" Hiccup shouted, using earthbending he launched himself and Bolin into the air, "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bolin shouted, as they where about to fall Toothless jumped into the air, Hiccup took hold of one of the reins, clicked his foot into place and flew off, Toothless held Bolin by his feet.
He didn't stop screaming.

After fallowing the polar bear dog from above for a few minutes they landed deeming it safe. "Bo you alright?" Mako asked as Toothless dropped him onto the ground. "That was AWSOME! It was like, like I was a bird...that really...really...really missed the ground." he said laying on the ground. Mako shook his head, Wouldn't trade him for anything he thought. Bolin told Hiccup what he could about where they kept him, unfortunately it wasn't much to go on but it was helpful nonetheless. "I'd better go home to tell my mom about this, it doesn't look like benders are safe." Hiccup said, "You guys get home and if anything happens call the station." they agreed. As Hiccup was about to take off Korra stopped him, "You sure okay, you took a nasty fall a few hours ago." Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Korra, look I get that me being okay is...something to check up on but if I am hurt I'll come straight to you. Okay?" Hiccup asked. Korra nodded, a slight blush on her cheeks. "I'll see you tomorrow." he said getting on his saddle. As he took off he could only think of what a threat Amon had become.
AN: So Amon is introduced and Hiccup knows how to kick some ass! I also had some Hiccup/Korra moments scattered throughout. Also alot of the story is from third person limited from Hiccup. I'm sorry if this upsets some readers. Don't forget to leave reviews!
