Mako's POV

I can't believe she came tonight. Not only did she risk herself, if Amon was there, she risked my little brother's life. Tomorrow night, I really going to tell her to stop coming.

Getting up out of bed, I climbed down the ladder and walk over to our kicten. I started to make breakfast when Bolin woke up. He sat up from the couch that he fell asleep last night.

"Morning, Bolin, did you sleep alright?" I asked. Bolin nodded as he yawned and sat down at the table ready to get his breakfast. He grabbed a fork and started to eat his eggs. After I put my plate in the sink, I got dressed for work and started to leave.

"Mako, just remember we have practice this afternoon." I groaned silently, I really needed to go to a full day of work.

"Okay, I might come in a little late, the Chief might want Aerie and I to do something." Bolin, unlike Hasook, understood that I had to balance work along with Pro Bending. Wrapping my scarf around my neck, I went out the door.

When I got to Headquarters, I found Aerie waiting for me outside to door.

"I mad at you," he said.

"Hello to you, too," I replied.

"We had a stake out last night that you didn't come to, we caught them by the way. As I thought, they were Equalists." Aerie said as he walked into the building.

"Glad you caught them and if you haven't notice, Aerie, but I have a lot on my plate right now," I answered.

"Why don't you quit Pro Bending and everyone will be happy," Aerie said, as we came to my office.

"We both know that I can't do that, Aerie," I said and closed the door in his face. It might of been a little rude, but I as tired of Aerie bugging me.

I tugged at my scarf, it was going to be a long day, I could already tell. After a few hours, I was ready to go to practice. Cleaning up the stuff I left without saying anything to Aerie, he could figure out on his I was crossing the street to get to the Arena, a mopad came out of nowhere and hit me.

"I'm so sorry," the driver said, "I didn't see you."

"How could you not see me? I mean, I was right-" she took off her helmet and stopped midsentence. She had black hair, light green eyes, and pale skin.

"Hey, you look familiar, where have I seen you before?" the girl asked.

"I play for the Fire Ferrets," I replied, blushing slightly.

"Your Mako, right? I,such an idoit," she said sheepishly.

"Its fine really,"I didn't want her to feel bad.

"Hey, why don't I make this up to you," she paused for a second while she thought, "I know, how 'bout a dinner at Quan's Cuisine, tomorrow night eight o'clock?"

"I don't have clothes nice enough for that place," I said looking down.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, by the way, my name is Asami," she said, as she got on her mopad.

I watch her drive away with a happy look on my face.


My joy soon disappeared as I entered the gym. Bolin was the only one there.

"Where's Hasook?" I ask, looking around the room.

"He quit," Bolin said simply.

"What, Why?"

"Something about you being an asshole."

Groaning a walked over to the wall and hit it with both of my fist.

"Does he care that we have three matches until the tournament? Never mind I know he doesn't." Hasook never cared about anyone but himself.

Bolin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Korra, she's the Avatar, she can help us."

"Bolin, she has no experience in Pro Bending, plus, half the city's looking for her, what if she bends more than water." I saw all the hope go out of Bolin's eyes and sat down next to him and apologized.

"Look Bo, I'm sorry. Maybe your right, maybe, Korra if a great Pro Bender, I mean, she probably has heard more than her fare share of matches on the radio."

Bolin looked up at me and I relieved that he felt better.

"She's coming tonight so we can just ask her then." Bolin nodded, looking proud that he came up with a great idea.

After that little talk we got back to practice.

"Hey Bo, would you mind if I went somewhere tomorrow night?" I asked, thinking of my date with Asami.

"No, why, where are you going? Is it something for the police? 'Cause if so, I don't think you needed to ask me if it was alright."

I signed as a threw a fire punch in Bolin direction, which he easily dodged.

"No, there was this girl, Asami, who hit me," Bolin's eyes widened at this. I chuckled and said, "Relax, I'm fine, but anyways, she asked if wanted to go to Quan's, and I said yes."

Bolin smiled, it looked like today was going to be a pretty good day.
