Mako's POV

Bolin and I changed in the car and went back in as fast as we could. I didn't want to leave Korra alone, not in the condition she was in. When we entered we found Azula making her way back to my girlfriend. I inwardly growled. I spoke and she smiled wickedly before gesturing the Dai Li to attack. My brother and I fought them off but when I looked up he was holding Korra hostage.

"You look nervous," Azula said her smile intact.

I took a step forward. She shook her head and with a shot broke the window right behind them.

"Want to know how I got these scars?" she asked. "You see, I had a mission. My mission was to get rid of you. But plans didn't go well. I was locked up in Arkham and escaped. When I went back to my father, he wasn't very happy, and so I kept smiling at him, I wanted him to be happy with me. So he takes a knife sticks it in my mouth and does this. Then he says that way I will always have something to smile about."

I narrowed my eyes at her as she holds Korra out towards the window.

"Let her go," I say.

Azula smirks.

"Very poor choice of words," she says before letting go.

Damn it. I run out the window and dive in after Korra. I use one of my new gadgets to soften the fall for both of us. She's panting and touches my face trying to figure out if I'm ok. I sigh. Typical Korra. I cup her face in my hands and lean my forehead against hers.

"I'm fine," I say. She sighs in relief.

"Let's not do that again," she tells me leaning against my chest.

Korra's POV

After my little fall the party was over; literally and figuratively. When Mako dove after me, Azula and the Dai Li took off. Bolin went back for Asami and excused all of us. We were in the car now; I took off my dress, put on the extra clothes and combed my hair into its regular ponytail. Mako had me in his lap and my head was tucked under his chin. I was glad all of this was over.

"Where was Iroh?" I asked.

"He made sure to get Jet out of his hideout," Bolin replied with a smirk.

I nodded. Before long we were back home and everyone went to bed. Well everyone besides Mako and I. We both stayed at the cave for a while. He sat me on a table as I ran my hands across his face, trying to memorize his features. I was aware I wasn't going to stay blind but it was something I liked, touching his face. I sighed and made a move to take off the bandages. He didn't object and slowly I began to open my eyes. At first everything was blurry but after a few blinks I was able to see perfectly. I grinned broadly at Mako who had the same expression on his face. I lifted my hand up to his cheek.

"Hey," I say.

He chuckled.

"Hey."

Without hesitation I pull him towards me and gently kiss him. He wastes no time doing the same, and I lose track of time. I don't know how long we have been like that but he pulls away and I scowl. Wasn't long enough. He laughs and sets me down on my feet.

"Can I have this dance?" Mako asks.

I cock my head to the side and nod. He wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck. There's no music playing but we both sway in rhythm. I smile up to him before leaning against his warm chest. He stops and takes a step back before going on a knee. My mouth drops.

"Korra, you're the most beautiful girl I have ever met," Mako begins. "Both inside and outside. I love you more than words itself and I promise to always be there, till the end of time. Would you grant me the honor of becoming my wife?"

I freeze. I was totally not expecting this. After a while I find my voice and whisper a 'yes'. He smiles and picks me up and twirls me around. I laugh as he sets me down.

"Mako," I say.

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Will you love me," I began. "Till the day I die?"

He smiles and shakes his head. I look away and he takes his hand and gently makes me face him.

"Much longer than that," he whispers before kissing me once again. I smile against his lips.

Jet's POV

Well this had been an interesting turn of events. First I'm petrified of being with all these high class people, then I get knocked out cold, and then I wake up to find a vigilante dragging me out a closet. Fun night, right? WRONG. What's worse is that the joker had been in MY dinner. Yeah, I know I didn't care much for it but still. I hated the woman, especially after she slammed MY fiancé against the wall. What the hell was that?! I also heard about Korra. I called Mako and he reassured me that she was perfectly fine.

I sighed as I went to bed, my fiancé next to me. She gave me a small smile and I pulled her closer to me, bumping heads.

"Are you alright?" I ask.

She nods.

"I'm fine."

"Seriously, though," I insist. "You don't need a doctor or anything."

Talia laughs and shakes her head.

"I'm perfectly fine, thanks to Korra," she replied. "For someone who couldn't see what was going on, she caught on to the situation fairly quickly."

I frowned.

"Didn't you say Asami was with her? She probably filled her in."

She shrugged.

"Probably."

I sigh and close my eyes. Talia snuggled closer to me and fell asleep as well. Later that night I woke up with her scream. I sat up in bed and watched as the Dai Li dragged her away. My hands were tied and I screamed for them to let her go. They dragged me out of bed and made me kneel before a familiar figure.

"I have unfinished business to settle," Azula said with a wicked smile.
