Korra was finally back at home with the air bender family. Her parents stayed a few weeks to make sure she was in good shape. Her parents hugged and kissed her, then returned home to the South Pole. Her dad was concerned with leaving her in Republic City. He wanted her home, mainly because he wanted to protect her. He cared about his daughter, and if anyone dared to harm her again, there would be death to pay. He kissed her on the forehead and waved goodbye.
Korra was happy her parents left; she had more freedom. She was completely healed for over a month and her parents restricted her like she was injured. She was completely capable of going to the market or dropping off letters at the post office, but they (her parents and Tenzin) always said no. She assumed that they thought she was going to see Mako. Mako had been in jail for almost a month. No one spoke about him or mentioned him around town; we'll a least where she was. Bolin had only come to see her one since her injury. Asami was never going to see her. She hated her too much, well at least she acted as if she did. Korra had actually admitted the other day that the drama free zone felt great. But no one said it was so lonely.
"Tenzin, I'm going out!" She yelled, then she called for Naga and rode away. She went to the market and grabbed a few melons and some fish. She would use these as her alibi. She headed off to the jail. She searched for Bei Fong, but she wasn't around. She slipped into the jail almost unnoticed. When she tried to get pass the sign in desk, she was stopped. Korra thought about running, but there were too many guards. She signed in as The Avatar. She slammed the pen down and requested to see Mako. The guards laughed.
"The baby bender." They snorted. Korra didn't find their taunting funny. The guard at the desk ordered them to stop laughing and took Korra to any room with one metal table and two metal chairs. The guard shut the door. Korra sat down and waited. Three guards threw Mako through the door. Mako fell onto the floor and struggled to get up.
"Stop wasting my time!" A guard with a long ponytail kicked him.
"Stop!" Korra yelled. She ran and pulled Mako to his feet. The guard looked at Mako in disgust.
"You have twenty minutes." He said and slammed the door behind him. Korra sat Mako down in one of the chairs and then she sat across from him. Mako looked beat up. His finger nails were dirty and his hands look rough. His clothes had a ton of dirt everywhere. Mako needed a good bath.
"You finally came to see me." Mako smiled.
"Yeah." Korra said.
