Aang's POV

I was looking out the window when I saw a familiar figure approach my home. I smiled and opened the door for him, inviting him in. He sat down and did the same as I called my life into the living room to join us. I knew the multibillionaire well, but his appearance wasn't the same as when he was with Korra. He looked slightly older than his age, as if he had far more years on him than he actually did. My wife entered the room and greeted him before sitting by my side.

"What brings you here?" I asked knowing the answer.

He let out a frustrated sigh as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Why did you send me that note?"

"The letter?" I asked. I shrugged. "I thought I should remind you of it."

"Korra is dead," he stated. "And the prophesy was fulfilled."

"Was it?"

He gave me a confused look.

"Yes, with Amon."

I nodded.

"Mako, I know Korra's death has affected you, but…I don't think she would want you to isolate yourself the way you do," I told him.

He stiffened.

"Korra was my life. I died the day she died," he replied evenly.

I sighed.

"Should a man lose everything he owns, has truly lost his worth, or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that Korra's death also means a new beginning."

"I don't understand," Mako replied.

"Perhaps I can enlighten you," Katara interjected.

We both looked at her.

"When Yakone took Aang and left me there to die, the Lion Turtle helped me escape. I woke up slightly disoriented and it called me over to where it was, a small lagoon inside the temple. I dived in and it showed me a path out. When I resurfaced I was close to land and I swam over there. I called my brother and let him know he had to get the children to safe place meanwhile I arrived."

"The Lion Turtle is real?" he asked surprise in his voice.

Katara smiled.

"Yes, but that is not the point," she continued. "We spent years thinking that the other was dead, until one day my daughter who disguised herself as an Equalist found him in the pit."

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"That sometimes things are not what they seem."

Mako cocked his head to the side.

"Are you telling me that there is a possibility Korra…?"

We both shook our heads.

"No," I replied. "What we are trying to say is that you must move on. When you do things will fall into place."

He sighed and got up.

"Thank you," was all he said before leaving.

No Name's POV

I woke up way past midday with a groan. My side and back were sore but I forced myself up, to do my daily training before showering. I came out of the bathroom with nothing but undershorts and sports bra, drying my hair with a towel. I walked up to the mirror and winced when I touched the purple bruise on my side before noticing one of the many scars I had. It was from a bullet. The bullet had gone right through me, nearly killed me, but I had gotten lucky and survived. I scoffed a bit. Lucky. There was no such thing as getting lucky. Everything happened for a reason; I just had to find that reason.

Soon enough the sun set and I got suited up once again. This night was going to be fun, I just knew it.

Mako's POV

I got ready to patrol today. I didn't know why I wanted to go out but I just did. It was kind of sad that the only kind of social interaction was with a thief. Now I had seriously gone real low. I suited up, grabbed my bike and headed out.

There was a building, the tallest building in the entire city with the best view. Sure the city looked amazing up there but it was also a good spot to patrol in. I climbed up to the top and was surprised when I was met with a hooded person. They turned around, bracing and ready to attack. I held up my hands in a peaceful manner, showing them I meant no harm. She pulled the string further at anchor point when I tried to take a step forward.

"I'm not going to attack you," I said.

"I can't promise the same thing," a female voice replied.

I cocked my head to the side. So the archer was a girl.

"Look, this is usually my spot. I patrol from here," I tried to explain.

She lowered her bow slightly and allowed me to get closer, still keeping it ready for an attack. I chuckled and shook my head leaning over the edge of the building.

"So, you're patrolling too?" I asked.

She nodded.

"I hadn't seen you before."

"I'm new to the neighborhood."

"Got down right to business."

"Always."

I nodded at the last statement.

"So you came back?" June told me before glancing over to the archer. "Oh, and I see you're alive."

"Quite," the hooded girl replied reading herself again.

"So my guess is you two met."

"Yes," they replied in sync.

"It's a little crowded here," the archer replied making a move to leave.

"Wait," I called. She stopped. "What's your name?"

"I don't have one."

I cocked my head to the side.

"How could you not-"

"What is it with you people and wanting to name me," she snapped.

I blinked.

"Well it's easier to coordinate when we can call each other by a name," I pointed out.

"I work alone."

"So do I. But you never know."

"I don't have a name," she repeated. The way she said it told me she was telling the truth.

"Mind if I give you one?"

She sighed heavily.

"If it gives you a peace of mind," she muttered.

I studied her for a moment. The way she dressed and moved was almost like…

"How about Shadow?"

She cocked her head to the side.

"Shadow?" the archer repeated.

I nodded.

"So let's start with introductions," I began. "That's June also known as Cat and I'm-"

"Bat?"

I blinked again before realizing that my new suit had the engraving of a bat on the chest armor. I chuckled and shook my head.

"No, my real name is Mako."

She stiffened a little at that.

"So BatMako?"

I chuckled again.

"I guess."

"So, allies?" I offered holding out my hand.

"I said I worked alone," she repeated. "But if push comes to shove, which it will. I'll come to you with this," she added handing me a small device.

"What do you mean, it will?"

"There's a storm coming, and we all have to be ready for it."

I nodded. That didn't sound good.

"Now if you will excuse me," Shadow began. "I have work to do," she added jumping off to the next roof.

I nodded and looked at her as she took off. I must be really going crazy now. I had an alliance with a thief and a hooded archer. Great. .

Shadow's POV

As I jumped to the other roof I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I don't know what it was with people wanting to name everything. Not to mention that Zuko's old apprentice had given me the name. The world was quite small after all, who knew? I stopped for a moment, a good distance away from them. Shadow, I kind of liked the sound of that. It was definitely better than Bane. I clenched my jaw of the reminder of that stupid name. However, considering the circumstances, it was kind of ironic that I had been given that name. I shrugged and continued my patrol for the night.
