The sun's rays shined through the window and fell upon the forms of Korra and Asami. Asami had awoke only a few moments earlier and was now just staring at her sleeping girlfriend. She gently twirled her fingers in Korra's hair and causing her to stir. Letting out a soft moan, she opened her eyes and smiled at the beautiful sight next to her.

"Mmm...well good morning beautiful." Korra said before yawning. Asami giggled.

"Same to you, Sweetie. Sleep well?" She asked.

"Better than last night." She said.

"Oh why's that?"

"Um...because you weren't here to cuddle with me." She quickly said. Asami raised an eyebrow but decided to drop it. Moving her hand from Korra's hair, she traced her fingers along her jaw and leaned in to capture her lips with her own. Korra snaked her arms around Asami and pulled her closer until she was laying on top of her. The pair continued to kiss until they felt a shift in weight at the foot of the bed. Breaking the kiss, Asami rolled off of Korra and the two looked to see Naga getting onto the bed.

"Naga what are you...!" Korra started to say before Naga flopped down on top of them and causing the air to be blown out of their lungs. But soon they found themselves laughing when they heard Naga whining. The girls tried to look at each other, but Naga's head blocked their view.

"Naga...ah...you mind getting off of us, girl?" Korra asked while trying to get out from underneath her pet's arm. All she got was another whine before Naga started licking her face.

"AH...Naga! Stop!...HA...Alright, alright! I'll play with you, just stop please!" Korra pleaded. Naga stopped licking her and barked and wagging her tail.

"Ha ha. Good girl, Naga. You show Korra that you won't be ignored." Asami said as she freed an arm and scratched Naga. Unfortunately for her, this caused Naga to remember she was there too. Before she could say anything, Naga began to lick Asami's face too.

Naga finally got off of the girls and sat by the door waiting for Korra to get ready. Korra looked at her and smiled before getting out of bed. Heading over to her dresser, she pulled out some clothes and started getting dressed.

"Well I guess that's my cue to get ready too." Asami said as she got off the bed. "Don't want to show up to the office later and get swarmed by reporters again."

Korra turned and looked at Asami as she pulled on her shirt. "You really want to go back to the office after being stuck there for three days? I don't think that's a good idea, Asami." She said. Asami shrugged.

"Hey, I'm CEO, I have to make sure everything is in order."

"Yeah, but even the CEO needs a break. I just figured you'd just like to relax...maybe with your girlfriend or something." Korra said the last part under her breath. Asami smirked and crossed her arms.

"Korra...you're not jealous of my company? Are you?" She said while trying to suppress a laugh. Korra looked away and a blush spread across her face.

"Pfft! No!" She said. Asami continued to smirk and raised an eyebrow. "Well...I just feel that you spend too much time working and you could...use a break is all."

Asami shook her head and giggled. She walked over to Korra and pulled on her arm and into a kiss. At first Korra was surprised but soon found herself kissing back. Breaking apart, Asami placed another kiss on Korra's cheek.

"You're adorable. I guess I could afford to take a few days off. We are planning to tell Tenzin we're ready for a press conference, so we'll both need some time to get ready." She said. Korra chuckled and started scratching her neck.

"Yeah that's...uh...sure let's go with that." The two looked at each other before laughing.

"Let me go call Kia and tell her I won't be coming in today. I'll see you at breakfast." Asami said as she walked to the door. Korra poked her head out the door to see Asami disappear into her room.

"How did I get so lucky to fall in love with someone like her, Naga?" Korra said with a smile. She turned and looked at Naga only to see her sitting with her ball in her mouth.

"Oh yeah, fetch, right. Well come on then don't want to show up late for breakfast again." She said as they headed outside.

Asami leaned back into Naga as the pair relaxed in the shade. Asami sighed as she felt the stress leave her body. Korra was right when she said she spent to much time working. But all the ideas swirling around in her head made it hard. So she grabbed her sketch book and began drawing. She smiled when she heard Naga snore and giggled when she saw Meelo yelling at Korra as she trained.

"Hey Asami."

Asami looked up to see Jinora standing in front of her.

"Oh, hey Jinora. What's up?" Asami asked and moved over so the airbender could sit.

"Not much. Meelo is really working Korra hard today huh?"

"Yeah. Although I think it's only because I'm taken now. He looked so heartbroken at breakfast when we told you we were together."

Jinora laughed. "He really did. I actually felt sorry for him. Now I feel sorry for Kai. Korra isn't the only one who has to put up with him." She said. They both laughed until Jinora saw Asami's drawing.

"What's that?"

"Huh? Oh this, it's nothing really just an idea I had regarding Downtown."

"Downtown? I thought President Raiko said Downtown was being abandoned?" Jinora said.

"He did, and the expansions to the city are still happening. But I don't fell we should completely give up on rebuilding it."

"What are you thinking of doing?" Jinora asked. Asami handed her sketch book to her and she began to study the drawing. She immediately took note of the unshaded pillar no doubt representing the spirit portal, but instead of a crater full of vines the area around the portal was level and had trees and what she assumed was grass.

"A park. You want to turn the area into a giant park." Jinora said. Asami nodded as Jinora handed back the book.

"Yeah. After seeing how beautiful the spirit world is, I want to at least try to bring that same beauty here. But like I said, it's still in the idea phase. I want to run the idea by Korra and some of the spirits before taking it Raiko. I want to hear what the spirits think, I don't want to make them upset or have them think we can't adapt. I want this park to be a place for both humans and spirits to enjoy together." Asami explained.

"I think it's a wonderful idea, Asami! If you need any help, I'd be happy to assist." Asami smiled and hugged Jinora.

"Thanks Jinora."

Jinora was about to say something else when she heard someone screaming. The girls looked just in time to see Kai fly into the tree and fall on his face in front of them.

"Kai!" Jinora said as she went to check on her boyfriend.

"I'm good." He said, giving a thumbs up while still face down in the grass. Jinora sighed before turning and looking at her brother.

"MEELO!" She shouted in frustration.

"Korra did it!" He said before running away.

"Did not you little Weasel Snake!" She said before the two girls started chasing after him. Asami laughed before getting up to go help Kai, but something caught her eye. She looked to see Mako and Lin walking up the stairs. She watched as Lin entered the temple and Mako leaned against the wall.

'What are they doing here?' Asami thought as she made her way over to him.

"Hey Mako. What are you guys doing here?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh hey Asami. I'm not exactly sure myself. Lin just called me and said to meet her at the ferry. I asked her but all she said was it concerned Korra. Said she'd tell me after she talked with Tenzin." He said. Not a second later, Lin and Tenzin walked out of the temple.

"Chief?"

"Mako. Asami. Could you go get Korra please." Tenzin asked.

"Um sure, but why? What's going on?" Asami asked.

"Please. We'll explain in a moment." He replied. Asami could tell something was wrong, the look on Tenzin's face told her he was worried about something.

The two nodded and walked back towards the spinning gates and found Korra with Meelo in a headlock and rubbing her fist on his head. Korra stopped when she saw them and let him go.

"Hey Mako." She said with a smile. But is turned into a slight frown when she saw their faces.

"Uh...What is it? Is something wrong?"

The coroner pulled back the white sheet revealing the face of a man with a long beard and hair. Korra stared at the body, unsure how she should feel that the man who had caused her so much pain was dead. Sighing she ran her fingers through her hair and looked at Lin. Nodding, Lin motioned for the M.E. to leave them. He bowed before exiting the morgue and leaving the group alone.

"He was found last night around eleven when the guards changed shifts. They checked his vitals but they said it looked like he'd been dead for an hour already. They contacted the lotus outpost in Ba Sing Se and they in turn sent the message to Raiko. Zaheer's body was put on a train and arrived here not half an hour ago." She explained.

"Do the guards have any suspects?" Tenzin asked.

"That's where it gets strange. None of the guards at the time of the murder entered the chamber, nor did they see anyone enter through the gates and the elevator was unused. By the sound of things, it looks like who ever or what ever killed the bastard was already in the chamber or found another way in."

"Strange is right, Chief. And the investigators found no evidence on the body either right?" Mako asked. Lin nodded.

"Not a thing. The only thing we have is the cause of death."

"And what is that?" Tenzin asked.

"His neck was snapped." She said. Everyone remained quiet as they took in the information and trying to come up with something. Asami leaned in and pulled the sheet back more. She looked at Zaheer's neck and saw bruising around it.

"Well that's not all you have." She said.

"What do you mean?" Lin said.

"Look at his neck. There's bruising all around it." Lin, Mako and Tenzin looked and saw she was right.

"Then he was being strangled before the killer finished the job. But that doesn't make sense. If the killer was choking him, why break his neck? The lack of air would have killed him anyway." Mako asked.

"Killer might be an overachiever, wouldn't be the first time. Or maybe he was trying to cover up the real cause of death? Whatever the reason one thing is clear. The bruises aren't human." Lin said.

"Might have used rope or something."

"No rope burns or any distinguishing marks..." Asami said. Korra who had been quiet the whole time continued to stare at the body. Her mind was flooded with memories. She remembered how he had poisoned her and practically paralyzed her. How he had broken her and took away three years of her life to depression. The only thing positive he had done for her was help her reconnect with Raava. As she looked at his body, the world around her seemed to melt away.

'Something's wrong.' She thought. As she focused deeper she soon found what it was, what was missing.

"His chi is gone." She said. Everyone stopped and looked at her confused.

"What do you mean, Korra?" Tenzin asked.

"Just give me a second. I need to check something." She said. She walked over to the body and closed her eye.

Not a moment later, her eyes opened now glowing pure white as she entered the Avatar State. The same white glow appeared around her hands as she glided them over Zaheer's body. Everyone stayed quiet and watched as Korra continued, having realized she was Energybending. Korra stopped after a minute and exited the Avatar State.

"I was right. His chi is gone."

"You said that before, kid. What exactly do you mean?" Lin asked.

"Well, after Amon was defeated, we found out that he was able to use Bloodbending to take away a person's bending. After I started restoring his victims, I found that he didn't actually take their bending away, he just found out how to block the flow of chi through the body."

"Yeah we know that already. Cut to the chase, kid." Lin said.

"Okay okay...well a person's chi doesn't immediately leave the body upon death, it takes time. But when I checked Zaheer's body, there was no trace of chi in his body. It's just...gone." Korra said.

"What are you thinking, Korra?"

"I'm thinking that before he was killed, the killer somehow stole Zaheer's chi." Everyone looked at each other in mild shock.

"...But the only being capable of manipulating chi is the Avatar." Tenzin said.

"If I'm thinking the same thing Korra is, it sounds like our killer is some spirit who's power is near identical to the Avatar's." Mako said as he looked at Korra who nodded. Lin rubbed her temples and let out a frustrated sigh.

"Hey Tenzin, did you have a chance to check the records yet?" Korra asked.

"Not yet, why? Do you think Zaheer's death is somehow related to your dream?" He asked.

"What dream? What do you know, Korra?" Lin asked. Korra then proceeded to tell them about her nightmare and about the figure she saw.

"So that's why you said you couldn't sleep last night. Why didn't you tell me?" Asami asked, frustrated that Korra would keep this from her.

"I'll explain later. But right now we need to try and figure this all out." Korra said.

"Agreed, I'll tell Raiko that Zaheer's death might be a result of an unknown party trying to make a name for themselves. I'll leave out all the talk of evil spirits, and I'll put the rest of the police force on elevated alert. I'll look into getting a message to General Iroh and the United Forces." Lin said.

"And I'll look through the records to see if a being like this has been encountered before. I'll let you all know if I find something." Said Tenzin.

"Alright. Well I'd better go see Raiko, and no doubt have to start filling out paperwork. Come on Mako." Lin said as she made her way to the door.

"Coming Chief." He said before stopping and turning around. He pulled Korra into a hug. "Don't worry Korra. We'll get through this, we just have to stay strong."

"Thanks Mako."

With that Mako followed Lin leaving Korra, Asami, and Tenzin alone. Korra took a deep breath and covered her face with her hands. She sighed and ran her hands down her face.

"Korra? Sweetie? You okay?" Asami asked. Korra looked at them both.

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling you guys. Something bad is about to happen. Something very very bad."
