Korra will help her friends in this chapter. But what about the kids? We'll find out. Typed on my ipod, so there may be multiple mistakes.

Korra wasn't too familiar with Satomobiles, but he did know how to drive one. She felt bad leaving the innocent citizens, but she had to get these kids back to safety. "I hope you guys learned your lesson," she told them.
Because one of them was nearly killed when the Lieutenant used Jinghua for blackmail. It seemed that the new Team Avatar was just formed, and now Tarrlok split them apart. When Tarrlok arrested her friends, Korra couldn't do anything about it. Besides, she was surrounded by the police.
When they headed back to the air temple, they were greeted by Jinora. Korra felt her forehead, and she hadn't improved much. Jinora asked, "Korra, you're covered in mud. What happened?"
Korra waved her away and went to her bed to rest. She was sick, she had a long day, and she wanted to rest before she was going to make her big move tonight.
Ying was in a playpen, giggling. If she was aware of what happened, then she wouldn't be so happy. Jinghua, Cheng, Rulon, Ikki, and Meelo were all shivering on the couch. Both from a scarred experience, and that they have been outside for quite a while. Once Jinora heard Korra's door close shut, she demanded, "Alright, people. Tell me what happened."
Although Jinora was the eldest of the group in front of her, she felt like she was the more mature one. They all looked like they were about to burst out in tears. But finally, Rulon spoke up, "We tried to find out parents after we snuck outside. Ikki and Meelo followed us, and they said that there was a circus, but then we got lost."
Jinghua continued, "After that, we headed towards Central City Station, when we heard chanting at a street nearby. There the power went out, and we found Korra and her friends in their Satomobile. But-"
Meelo continued, "There was this guy with a scary mask who held a knife towards Jinghua!"
Jinora gasped, but were relieved that they were safe. She tried to give advice to the younger children, "Your parents are terribly busy with their work. Second, NEVER go out in this city at night. Especially by the streets. It's dangerous."
Jinora lead them to their seperate rooms. Trying to make them feel better, she provided them a piece of advice and hoped that this would be a good example of why they shouldn't behave so badly. The last person to go to bed was Jinghua. She hugged Jinora saying, "Thank you for understanding."
Jinora smiled and slowly shut the door. But then she realized something. Where were Asami, Mako, and Bolin? That was the one thing she forgot to ask. After a few hours, she asked everyone at the Air Temple if they saw the three. They all said no, and Jinora didn't want to wake up Korra, but she sort of had to.
Jinora walked over to Korra's room. Inside, were scattered tissues and belongings. Naga wimpered, and Jinora could tell she looked uncomfortable. So she cleared the room up a bit with airbending before nudging Korra awake, "Korra, wake up. I think your friends are missing,"
Korra coughed, "What do you mean?"
"I mean that they haven't showed up since you got here."
Korra jolted out of bed, "Oh gosh, I forgot!"
Jinora was desperate to know, "What?"
"I was gonna get Asami, Maki and Bolin out of that police station. Its either I negotiate, or I'll break them out."
"Then I'm going, too."
Korra sighed, "Jinora, you can't. Whenever I go out to face someone at night, things usually get ugly."
"And you mean that by-"
She replied sarcastically, "Hmm. I dunno. Maybe because I get attacked everytime I go out at night, and I almost lost my bending!"
The airbender raised her hands defensively, "Okay! I get it. But I'm still going. Everyone's in bed, my parents aren't home, and I always miss out on events!"
Korra shrugged, and led her to Naga's back. Korra was more used to riding Naga than a Satomobile.
A few hours before in the police car...
Asami's hands were in handcuffs, them being a little too tight. "Are you okay?" Bolin whispered.
It was dark in the car, so nobody could see her blink back tears. Bolin asked again, "Hey, what's wrong?"
Asami felt all the rage build up in her. "What's wrong? What do you think is wrong? Everything here makes me think of my dad! And I finally find a great boyfriend. But once I actually try to help wih somehing, I find out that he still has feelings for my best friend, and this happens!" Asami gestured to her cuffed hands.
The other innocent suspects in the truck gasped. One of them whispered to Bolin, " Bud, you better work this out or else she'll break up with you for sure."
So Bolin tried to do just that. "Look, I know what you're going through right now. But some people just don't understand. I have nothing going on with Korra. And Tarrlok thinks that just because people aren't benders, they're equalists. So, see? I care and I do underst-"
Asami had a sudden outburst, "Bolin, I don't think you do understand! My whole life has been fake because my father's a stupid liar! He didn't care about me at all!"
Bolin had to respond, "At least your father is alive! BOTH of my parents are dead!"
Asami didn't continue to argue, and there was a sudden silence. Mako couldn't take it anymore. "Gah! Am I always the one to fix these kinds of things?"
His two friends didn't answer. He sighed. "Bolin, you're dating Asami, aren't you?"
"Yes,"
"And Asami, you love Bolin?"
"Mmhmm"
"And wouldn't you two do anything for each other?" Mako said, now feeling like the priest at a wedding.
The two nodded their heads, looking at each other. Mako finished, " So its settled, then."
Some of the civilians in he truck cheered, happy that they got some sort of entertainment while being held captive.
A young woman asked " So, Mr. Mako, you're dating Avatar Korra, right?"
He confusingly nodded, asking to where she was going wih this.
"Then you must know why we're here in cuffs going to the police station," she continued.
The firebender let out a sigh of relief. He thought she just wanted to get to him while Korra wasn't there. Something his old fangirls back at the arena used to do.
He explained, "Korra informed me that Tarrlok was manipulating Bei Fong so that he could go like this- all crazy with power and having the council agree with him. Now they're passing ridiculous laws and providing mandatory curfews,"
The back door opened, as Tarrlok himself appeared. "Time for questioning," he made a malicious smile.
