Authors Note: Hey Guys! So this chapter will not be as long as the last one (though close) but I figured it would give me more of a chance to go into depth about what happened. I know it will be a bit different at first but I hope it fits. Now I've never put a trigger warning in my writing before but for these up coming chapters they may be multiple. Maybe. For this one a character you love will be severely hurt. That's all I can say. Read to find out more. Again, Thank you for the Reviews, Favs, Follows, Communities, PM's. You guys make this all worth wild.
Trigger Warning: Character Severely injured.
PS: So I posted up the Drabbles of the next Korrasami AU's I will be writing up after this story is completed. A few people have already reviewed and 'voted' for the ones they wanted to read next. It really helps me figure out what to focus on after this one is complete. You don't have to vote if you don't want too but its appreciated. You guys really are motivators and these stories are something I want to explore with you all. Just any and all sides to Korrasami in a modernized version of their world. My biggest issue with putting these drabbles out too early is if I would spoil the fun for you all. Its something I didn't want to do and hopefully I didn't. Let's just consider it sneak peaks of what is to come. Anyway, Enjoy the chapter.
PPS: Just wanted to thank the Guest who left a review with a tip for me. I take what you guys say and apply it the best way I can. Again thank you for the tip to improve my writing.
Korra woke up the next morning with pressure on her chest. She opened her lids slowly blinking a few times getting use to the light with in the room. She didn't notice her surroundings at first only to realize she wasn't at home. Picking her head up slightly, she could see Asami's resting on her chest. She placed her own back on to the pillow it was resting on.
Taking a deep breath, she began to process the events from the night before. It was awkward to say the least but she survived. She was grateful for that but gained no real information on what they may have planned. She knew her Captain would be pleased she made it back in one piece. Kuvira on the other hand was a mystery.
Hearing a light groan from Asami snapped Korra out of her thoughts. She needed to give an update on last nights event. Though it wasn't much to report every single detail was crucial. She reached up behind her head taking the pillow from it. She then took her arm from around Asami trying maneuver herself. She slipped the pillow close to Asami seeing her taking it with a squeeze. Korra didn't want a replacement seeing how comfortable she was with Asami in her arms but she needed to focus.
She walked over to Asami's bathroom closing the door behind her. Taking out her phone, she began to go through the countless missed calls and text messages she received from Mako. Even though their last encounter turned hectic, he still left her his car to drive over here. Reading most of them, all it said was 'Beifong wanted an update ASAP.' Korra knew that without being told. Looking at the time on her phone, she could see it was almost noon. "Crap..." she said lowly to herself.
"Korra?" Asami uttered as she woke up to a pillow underneath her. It didn't compare to the warmth she felt as she held Korra's body close to her own. Asami looked around the room briefly not spotting her anywhere. Noticing her bathroom door was closed, she assumed Korra was in there. She sat up slowly and cracked the bones in her back as she twisted a bit. She never slept in the same spot through out the night. It was comforting. She leaned over next to her side dresser turning off her radio. "Korra?' she said again a bit louder getting up from the bed approaching the door.
'Double Crap.' Korra thought. As she heard her name twice already. She placed her phone back into her pocket not even bothering to text Mako back. She turned on the water as if she were washing her hands. "Be right out!" she said over the running water.
Hearing Korra respond made Asami move back on to her bed. She rubbed the back of her neck as she sat there waiting for Korra. The discussion they had after her family left made her feel things she tried to avoid for the longest time. Talking about her parents and what happened to them was a big deal for Asami. She had never spoken on the incident to anyone before not even her best friend. She wondered how she would address it to Korra. It was so much she wanted to say and to explain she just wasn't sure where to start.
Coming out of the bathroom a minute later, Korra walked up to Asami with a half smile. "So..." she began to think on an excuse for her to leave. Asami stood up and placed her arms around Korra's neck pulling her into a hug. Korra placed her hands around Asami's back giving her a small squeeze. Feeling Asami pull back, Korra saw the look in her eyes with her gaze dropping from hers. They both had said a lot last night. Expressing their feelings on their past, Korra wanted to talk about it as well but had to leave.
Asami blushed slightly as she pulled back. Feeling that warming sensation in her heart again. She took Korra's hands in her own causing the blue eyed beau to look back at her. "Last night was the first time I've ever felt safe..." she started to say as she dropped her gaze. "...enough with someone to express that part of me no one knows about," she said looking back into Korra's eyes. "I wanted you to know how thankful I am for that. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders," she confessed rubbing the back of Korra's hands softly with her thumbs. "I haven't felt this close to someone in a long time and its very..." she said taking a breath. "New and exciting and scary but I'm so glad its with you," she said with a bright smile. "Plus you are the first person who has ever met my family," she said with a small cringe at the end. "Sorry..." she said not mentioning that before. The Beifongs never met her family though they (like the Red Lotus) have only heard through word of mouth. Korra was the first to make it through the front door, literally.
Korra listened to Asami carefully. She could help but feel her heart breaking a bit with Asami's confession. Everything she said she felt herself but it was under false conditions. She felt her emotions rising with the thought of Mako being right. This was all fake and for the purpose of this investigation. To find the mark and use it to your advantage to gain access to the true culprits without causing suspicion. She felt like she wanted to cry but held her composure. She chuckled at the end when Asami admitted to Korra being the first to meet her family. "I kind of figured that after a while," she said slightly swinging her hands side to side with Asami's. Her eyes drifted on to the floor for a few seconds before meeting the emerald goddess' gaze. "I feel the same as you do. This is new to me on so many levels I don't even know which one I'm on," she said with a light chuckle. "I feel so grateful that I met you and I got to experience something I wouldn't trade for the world..." she said in past tense as she felt her voice cracking. "I'm sorry..." she said looking down taking a few breaths to gather up her strength again.
Asami shook her head at Korra's words. "Don't be sorry..." she said thankful Korra felt the same. In many ways their relationship would seem to evolve fast but time wasn't a factor. It didn't exist when they were together. Last night proved that in so many ways that Asami wanted to stay in it forever.
Korra gave Asami a soft smile. "I was hoping one day that you would meet my mother. I just know she'd love you..." she said lowly wanting to add 'like I do' to that statement.
Asami was at a lost for words. She squeezed Korra's hands lightly in her own with a look of disbelief. "Really?" she questioned as if it were a ruse.
"Really," Korra said putting emphasis on it as she smiled brightly.
Asami couldn't stop smiling at this point. She removed her hands from Korra's and placed hers on to Korra's cheeks. Closing her eyes, she pulled Korra with a bit of force with her lips smashing up against hers.
Korra's eyes closed immediately as their lips touched. Her hands roamed the small of Asami's back. She could feel the grip Asami had on her cheeks before her hands moved toward her neckline. Korra felt her Asami's weight pushing up against her causing her to lose her balance. She felt back on to the bed with Asami on top of her.
Their kiss broke momentarily off impact causing Asami to giggle slightly before pulling Korra into another kiss. Her body weight was heavy on Korra's more than before. She began to hike her thigh up against Korra's side leg. Asami couldn't help herself. She felt this burning passion over taking her wanting Korra more than anything.
Breathing through her nose roughly, Korra opened her eyes slightly before closing them again. Her hands were held at Asami's waist knowing she had to leave pretty soon. It wasn't that she didn't want Asami but she knew the shit storm that would happen if she didn't get back to her superior officers. They would be debating on if she was alive or dead. Knowing she had a 24 hour span to get back to them. It was still important to update soon as possible, specially after what Lin mention to Korra about her father. She didn't want to worry her or cause a strain on this investigation. Korra reached up with her hands reaching Asami's face.
Asami took this opportunity to roam her hands along Korra's toned stomach til she got to the hem of it. Her hand slipped underneath rubbing her stomach softly before coming back to Korra's jeans. Asami unbuttoned it as Korra pulled their lips apart. Asami thought it was to get a breather which lead her to place her lips upon the caramel skinned beauty's neck. Softly kissing it a few times before sucking at her skin. Her hand slid up to the other side of Korra's neck to hold her in place.
Korra's breathing became even heavier with her eyes fluttering open and shut. The feel of Asami's soft lips put her in a trance. "A... As-Asami," she stuttered out but was ignored. Asami moved her hand back down Korra's chest and towards her pants. Reaching for her zipper she began to pull at it only for Korra to react.
Korra gripped at the back of Asami's thighs causing her to yelped from excitement. Rolling, Korra was now on top of Asami. Breathing heavily, Korra took a moment as she was lost in those emerald eyes. "Asam-" she was cut off by those cherry lips on hers again. Molding hers to Asami's, Korra felt Asami tongue grazing her bottom lip. She knew where this was going and had to stop it before it got any further. "Asami," she said pulling back just a bit. "I have to go to work," she said getting off the bed slightly.
She felt Korra pull away hearing that she had to leave for work. Asami reached her hands up back to Korra's cheeks pulling her back down pressing her lips against hers again. "You can be a little late," she huffed out.
"I suppose..." she said since Asami put it that way.
Asami's left hand took Korra by the hem of her pants yanking her down on top of her.
Korra fell back on top of Asami this time giving in a bit. Kissing Asami passionately, Korra felt the other girls tongue inside of her mouth. With their tongues fighting for dominance, Korra felt Asami's hands back to her pants pulling the zipper down this time. Korra pulled back again breaking off the kiss with heavy breaths to follow. "I really do have to go," she barely getting that out in one sentence.
Asami watched as Korra pulled away again. She sat up as Korra stood to her feet. She reached for the hem of her own shirt pulling it over head. Exposing her black laced bra with red trimming around the outline she wore underneath her shirt. She placed her shirt down on the other side of the bed. Her elbows rested back against the mattress propping her up as she looked up at Korra with challenging eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked this time with a seductive tone.
Korra stared at Asami's well toned stomach up to her perfectly shaped breast that were hidden in her bra. "No..." she said coming back toward Asami pressing her lips against hers hard. Asami moaned into Korra's mouth as she held her by her waist. Korra's body pressed firmly against Asami's feeling her temperature heat up by the slight friction. Asami's hands traced up and down Korra's back underneath her shirt. Korra had one hand pressing against the mattress holding her up as the other was on Asaim's cheek caressing it softly. Asami's hands slid down Korra's back and toward her ass. She gripped it tightly with Korra's eyes opening in surprise. A moan escaped her lips and into Asami's mouth causing a vibration against their tongues. Asami roamed her hands back up before bringing them down again pulling the back hem of Korra's pants down.
Korra felt her pants coming down snapping her out of it. She pulled back again and stood up with her pants nearly falling down to her ankles. "I really... have to go," she said in between breaths. Asami had a frustrated look on her face with a slight pout to show at her bottom lip. "Rain check?" Korra said as she pulled her pants back tucking her shirt in.
Smirking slyly, Asami stood up to her feet placing her arms around Korra's neck. "Tonight yeah," she said kissing Korra's lips tenderly.
Korra grinned and kissed Asami again and again and again in small pecks causing the raven hair girl to giggle. "Tonight," she said pressing her forehead to Asami's before kissing her nose lightly. Smiling, Korra moved back and began to put on her shoes she had took off the night before.
Once they were on her feet, she saw Asami coming up to her putting her shirt back on. "I'll walk you out," she said exiting the room. Korra followed Asami down the stairs seeing that no one had returned from the night before. Asami walked up to the front door, opening it up for Korra.
As Korra got close to the door she stopped in front of Asami. She pressed her lips to hers one last time feeling Asami's hand touching her shoulder. Savoring every second of it, Korra pulled back with a sigh. "I will be back later," she said with a bright smile.
Asami gave her a smile and return. "Looking forward to it..." she said as she bit down on her bottom lip. She didn't want to say goodbye to Korra but understood she had to go to work. She watched as Korra walked to her car passing the boys outside. She waved to Korra as she got inside and drove off. She turned her attention to Kai and Skoochy with a small glare. "Aren't you guys suppose to be in school?" she asked wondering if they had skipped.
Kai was showing off the paint job he and Zaheer did to his moped yesterday to Skoochy til Asami got his attention. "It was a half day!" he shouted before turning back in his seat.
Asami looked at her watch and saw it was already the afternoon. "Damn..." she said to herself not realizing the time. She looked back at the boys, "you guys want a late breakfast?" she asked seeing them running towards her. She stepped aside with a laugh as they rushed inside. She closed the door and began to make brunch.
Driving down the street, Korra looked back into her rear view mirror to get one last glance at Asami. Her eyes shifted back on to the road with a heavy sigh. She took out her phone and she stopped at a red light. She pressed number 5 on speed dial then put it on speaker. It only rang once before she heard that same commanding tone of voice. "Korra. Meet me at the Kyoshi Cafe in 10 minutes," she said before hanging up.
Making a U-Turn, Korra headed down town to the cafe. She arrived there in less than 8 minutes with 2 to spare. Soon as she got out of the car she received a text from Beifong. 'Come inside and sit in the booth behind me.' Korra was confused by the text as she proceeded to exit her car. Walking inside, she looked around til she spotted a gray haired woman with a paper in her hand.
Korra walked down the side of the booths and pass Beifong who didn't even glance her way. She took a seat in the booth behind Lin and picked up a menu. Lin raised her paper a little higher to cover her mouth. "Good to see you're still alive," she began to say before getting down to business. "Gain anything useful?" she asked before turning to the next page of her paper.
Holding the menu up, Korra listen to Lin speak in a casual calm way that was awkward at first but understandable for a setting like this. "No. It was mostly family oriented no mention of their plans," she said as her eyes were glued to her mention as if she was reading it.
Lin groaned lightly knowing that was a high possibility to begin with. "Figures..." she mumbled.
"But I did gain their trust," Korra spoke up in the same monotone of voice. She knew that trust was gained through Asami. Even though under false pretenses as far as the Red Lotus was concerned. When it came to Asami the reasons why was more genuine and real. Regardless of that, Korra couldn't jeopardize this investigation.
Beifong was surprised and pleased at the news she heard and picked up her coffee cup. Taking a sip, she cleared her throat as she placed her cup back down lifting up her paper again. "Good. Can you handle proceeding any further?" she asked slightly with a chuckle as she was pretending to read something funny.
Korra nearly snickered herself at the foreign laugh her boss had let out. "Yes," she answered holding back a small smirk.
Lin looked up seeing the waitress in their section ready to come over to take Korra's order as well as anyone elses. Raising her cup up, Lin requested another without saying. The woman nodded and made her way back to the counter to retrieve the coffee pot. "Kuvira wants you to insert yourself in on their plans," she informed as she studied her paper. "Find an opening if you can but be cautious," she warned. She wanted Korra to be safe no matter what.
"I'm not sure how but I'll find out," Korra said. Lin stood up out of her booth as the waitress came over. Korra listen to them chit chat for a bit hearing Lin was going to take hers to go. Korra sat there and waited as Lin left. She looked outside of her window seeing her Captain get into her car before driving off.
Korra took out her phone wondering if she should response back to Mako. The way she left things with him was still up in the air. She knew he was looking out for her but she couldn't help what she felt for Asami. Sighing, Korra sat there as the waitress came over to take her order.
Asami finished making the boys breakfast. She was cleaning up the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door. The boys ignored it as they were playing their video game system. Walking into the living room, Asami placed her hand in Kai's hair messing it up. "Couldn't get the door?" she asked with him moving his head to the side for her hand to fall off.
"Busy," he responded playing the racing game Skoochy had brought over.
Coming up to the door, Asami opened it up and saw Opal. "Hey," she said moving aside for Opal to come in.
"Hey," she greeted back with a smile as she walked inside.
Asami closed the door and walked back into the living room messing with Skoochy's hat this time before going back into the kitchen.
Opal had followed half way before stopping behind the couch looking at the game. "I got next," she said with the boys groaning trying to focus. She joined Asami in the kitchen soon after. "Sooo last nights dinner. How did it go?" she curiously asked as she took a seat near by.
Asami looked behind her once she heard her best friends voice. "Better than expected," she said honestly. She turned around and leaned on the sink drying her hands. "They liked her," she said with a pleased expression.
"So Korra made it out in one piece?" Opal asked wishing Asami would go more into depth.
Nodding, Asami tossed the cloth down on to the counter. "Yes," she replied as she took a seat next to her friend at the small kitchen table. "Zaheer even asked her to watch out for me. Can you believe that?" she said taking one of the apples out of the bowl wiping it off.
"Actually I can't..." Opal commented as Asami took a bite of her apple.
Chewing, she pointed at Opal. "Well he did," she said with her mouth partly full. "And asked again before they left."
Opal sat up a bit more leaning against the end of the table. "Wait they left?" she asked a bit more loudly since the noise from the TV was over riding their conversation.
"Yeah, they had to go for whatever reason which I knew was going to happen eventually," she said sitting the quarter bitten apple down on the table. Asami stood up and walked to the fridge getting a bottle of water.
Rolling her eyes, Opal sat back with her arms folded. "How did Korra feel about all of it?" she asked looking over to Asami.
Coming back, Asami took her seat again as she twisted the top off. "She seemed pretty relaxed. We didn't really talk much about that once they left?" she said taking a sip of water.
Opal brows perked up a bit with a small grin. "Then what did you two do once they left?" she questioned with her mind in the gutter.
Asami put her water down before her friend could say something that would make her spit it out. "We talked about other things..." she said with her eyes drifting down. She didn't want to be specific and hurt Opal's feelings in the process. What she told Korra she had never told another living soul.
"Like what?" Opal asked snapping Asami out of her train of thought.
Asami shrugged and took her apple in hand. "Anything," she said leaving it as that. "Then we fell asleep..." she said examining the bite marks on her apple. She looked up at Opal with a small smile, "woke up the next morning and..." she said as Opal leaned closer to hear more. "We couldn't keep our hands off each other," she said raising her apple taking another bite.
A bright smile over took Opal's face. "Finally! Man that was taking forever with you two," she said a bit annoyed. "I mean with all the flirting and eye fucking each other. I am so glad you got it out of your system. Its about time. Brava to you," she said giving a small applause.
"Eye fuc- no we didn't sleep together," Asami said confused at where her friend got that idea. It amazed Asami sometimes at where her friends mind when. It would be way off the subject that they were on. "We made out and yes it could have headed there," she said lightly kicking Opal in her thigh underneath the table. "But it didn't. Plus she had to go to work so... we're gonna save it for another time," she began to say before standing up. She peaked out the door of the door she watched seeing the guys still playing the game. She turned back to Opal with a small smile. "Could even be tonight if I had someone to watch Kai," she some what asked.
Opal stood up herself and shook her head knowing what her friend was asking. "I wish I could but I gotta work tonight I'm sorry," she said seeing Asami's pouty face. "Wei could probably do it. With his broken leg he's not going anywhere," she said giving Asami an idea.
"I'll text him later see if his up for it. Thank you," she said putting her arm around Opal. They both walked into the living room annexed the game from the boys.
Korra spend the next few hours looking for an opening in the files Mako had left behind for her. She hadn't heard from him since yesterday and wondered if he was avoiding her. She wouldn't blame him at this point. She still felt bad for hitting him but didn't regret it. Her emotions was getting the best of her and she had to focus.
After this morning it was pretty hard to do just that. Asami's voice was stuck inside of her mind saying 'Tonight yeah..' in a sexual tone. It was very distracting to say the least.
She had all there files stretched out across her coffee table. She felt like she wasn't getting anything done. She had each member of the Red Lotus before her near the bottom of the table.
At the top was Asami's and her father Hiroshi's. She currently had her new updated background file in her hand Mako given her a few days ago. She when over her little 'brushes with the law' and tried to insert herself with in the group. They seemed very skilled at what they were known for and wouldn't need a 5th wheel at this point.
Korra felt the pressure of it weighing her down a bit. She needed an opening. Taking a moment to breath, Korra thought on Mako's theory. The Red Lotus kidnapping the Major was a great theory to go on but that's all it was a theory. It was no pure facts to back it up. The only thing that did was.. "Asami.." She said softly.
She pressed her back into the cushion of the couch with a tired sigh. Placing her hands over her face. It was so much to take on and so little time to do it. At any moment now the Red Lotus could be doing any and everything. She still didn't have a clue as to what. She would have followed them last night but she couldn't leave Asami.
The feelings she had was frustrating. She wasn't sure how to juggle it all. Lives would be on the line if she made an error. Kuvira made that clear on the first day. Then it clicked. Korra sat up and took out her phone. She scrolled through her contacts to get Asami's number. Thinking of texting her she wasn't sure if she should. What she had in mind she knew Asami would blame herself for after this morning but it was the perfect opening.
"I got fired...no," she started to murmur to herself. "I got fired and I don't know what I'm going to do for a job now. Nah..." she said trying to figure it out. It would be a great opportunity to gain access into their group on a small whim. Korra knew it was something that couldn't be put into a text. She needed to say it to Asami face to face but that feeling of guilt was rumbling in the pit of her stomach. "I can't do this..." She had to find some way. Some angle. She just didn't want it to be through Asami.
Her phone began to buzz snapping her out of thought. Picking it up quickly, Korra nearly groaned into the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey. Am I catching you at a bad time?" Asami asked on the other end of the phone.
Korra perked up and shook her head as if she could see her. "No no not at all. I was just heading on my way out," she said getting up from her seat.
Asami looked at her watch seeing it was about 4 in the afternoon. "Really?" she asked with a bit of hope in her voice.
"Yeah..." Korra said as she walked past a sleeping Naga. "Just need to go home real quick and change out of this jump suit," she said lying as she headed into her bedroom.
Smirking devious, Asami bit the corner of her bottom lip. "Yeah you all dirty?" she asked with sensual tone.
Korra eyes opened a bit widely at her tone. "Yeah... well not all dirty but a little," she said hoping she'd buy it.
"Mmm..." she hummed into the phone. "Well maybe you could come over when you're finished," she suggested with a small smile. "Kai and Skoochy are getting picked up by his dad so we will have the house to ourselves."
Korra was silent while Asami spoke but was mouthing the word 'shit' the whole time. She had wasn't sure if she could go through with this. It wasn't like she didn't want Asami. It was the principle. The deceit behind all of this. Behind everything. She felt like she was going to have a mental break down from all the pressure. She slumped on the floor by her bed only to hear Asami's voice again.
"Korra?" Asami repeated into the phone.
Taking a breath, Korra nodded her head. "Yeah I'm here. I'll be there soon as I'm done okay," she said brightly though her face grew of worry.
"Alright?" Asami said before hanging up. She was slightly confused but figured Korra was still busy either that physically drained by the tone in her voice.
Korra hung up and dropped the phone into her lap. She rested her head back on to the side of the mattress on the bed. She wondered how she could do this with a conscious. Right now it was getting the best of her. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt Asami. The thought of that made her heart ache. She took another deep breath before pulling herself up to her feet again. She looked at the picture of her and her dad by her bed side table. She gave a weak smile at it and nodded. "I can do this," she said trying to gain strength to continue on. She walked out of the room and grabbed her jacket to head out the door.
Another hour when by before Korra showed up. She had got some lunch for them from the local burger joint not to far from where she lived. She parked right in front of the house seeing Kai and his friend messing with the moped he got for his birthday.
She was hoping that they would still be there as to prolong her and Asami's rain check a bit longer. Her inner conflict on the subject began to arise in her mind again. Shaking it off, she looked inside the small bag seeing the extra burgers she got just in case.
Getting out of the car, Korra closed her driver side door before walking up on to the side walk. "Hey guys," she said greeting them with a small wave.
Kai looked up and saw Korra. "Hey!" he shouted waving back. He then hit Skoochy on his shoulder and pointed at Korra. "She's the one who gave me that gift card on my birthday," he said since Skoochy didn't show up at the roller rink.
Skoochy looked to Korra and gave her a nod with his chin raised. "Cool.." was all he said to Kai before they continued on with their chat about the moped.
Korra chuckled as she jogged up the stairs. She knocked on the door and awaited for Asami. "Its open you know," Kai said wondering why she was knocking.
Looking back at him, Korra smiled. "Thanks but I'll wait," she said feeling uncomfortable with walking inside without an invite.
Asami opened up the door a few seconds later. "Hey," she greeted taking apart of Korra's jacket in her hand. She pulled her close to her and pressed her lips to Korra's.
Korra felt Asami's soft lips brush up against hers. It was as if all her worries were disappearing with one kiss. When she pulled away, Korra blinked a few times with a small confused smile. "Hi," she greeted back.
Asami giggled and took Korra by the hand leading her inside. "Come on," she said with Korra following her right behind.
As the door was closed, Asami let Korra's hand go as she moved over to the couch. She took a seat seeing Korra slowly moving to her side. Watching her movements, Asami assumed that Korra was tired from work. "Long day?" she asked.
Korra took a deep breath and nodded her head. "You have no idea."
Asami sat up and leaned over to Korra. "Give me one," she asked as she played with the collar of Korra's jacket.
Raising her free hand, Korra rubbed the back of her neck trying to think of something. "A... I'm not sure how to describe it," she said honestly. The subject made her even more uncomfortable which Asami noticed.
"It's alright you don't have too," she said resting her head on Korra's shoulder. She then smelled the air and looked up at Korra. "Whats?" she began to question before sitting up normally again.
Korra had an awkward expression of confusion plastered on her face only to raise the back in her hand. "Oh yeah. I brought lunch," she said handing the back over to Asami.
Asami took it in her hand and looked inside. "I guess it is custom to bring gifts," she said nudging Korra's side.
Chuckling, Korra shook her head. "Not necessarily. I was just hungry," she replied rubbing her stomach.
"So am I. Thanks," Asami said with a smile. She took two burgers out handing one to Korra. She saw how many were inside the bag and looked to Korra curiously. "I know I said I had a fast metabolism but this is a lot."
Korra had unwrapped her burger and already took a bite when Asami spoke. She laughed slightly covering her mouth. "No some is for the guys," she said trying her best not to spill any food.
Asami made an 'O' face while saying it with a nod of her head to follow. "They'll be thankful," she said taking out a burger herself and taking a bite. "Mmm..." she moaned in a much different way over the phone. It was one of satisfaction of taste buds.
"I know right," Korra said with a chuckle. "Want to give the guys theirs?" she asked about to get up.
Asami placed her hand on Korra's fore arm to keep her at bay. "No they can wait," she said taking another bite. "I found a mover that's coming up in a few minutes we can watch," she said turning to that station with the remote that was next to her.
Korra smiled lightly and getting comfortable on the couch. "Great."
Mid way through the mover, Korra and Asami were laying on the couch together. Asami's head rested on Korra's chest as she had her arms around her waist. Korra had her hand on Asami's back as her other was on the remote.
Kai and Skoochy were outside eating the burgers Korra bought while checking out his moped. They began to look up some tricks on the internet on their phones. Finding stupid videos to laugh at. Failures mostly only for Skoochy to point out something Kai disagreed with.
"You're moped doesn't compare to a real bike. Hell it doesn't compare to this car right here," he said pointing at Korra's. "Bet you're to chicken shit to drive it," he challenged as he folded his arms.
Kai got off his moped and came around it and into Skoochy's face. "I'm not scare of anything," he said staring back at his friend intensely.
Skoochy endured the stare down for 30 more seconds before blinking with a chuckle. "I'm just busting your chops," he said lightly punching Kai in the arm. "Plus its no way you would drive the car if you could."
Kai turned his attention to Korra's car then back to his friend. "I can if I wanted too."
"Oh really? You know how to hot wire a car?" Skoochy asked in a condensing tone of voice.
Shaking his head, Kai huffed out of annoyance. "No but I could get the keys," he said being serious.
Skoochy looked back at the house then to Kai again. "Nah you can't. Pick pocketing isn't your thing. Remember what happened when you tried it on the Principal."
"Well this will be different. Watch," Kai said as he ran up to his house jogging up the stairs. He opened up the door slowly and closed it back lightly. He took off his shoes and placed them by the door. He tippy toed into the living room as lightly as he could. He peeked over the couch seeing both girls eyes glued to the TV.
He took a small breath through his nose as he scanned around for the keys. He then ducked behind the couch when Korra reached her hand up to scratch the side of her chin. He heard his sister giggle before a kissing sound was made. He shook his head and made his way around the couch.
He started to crawl up seeing both were busy with their lip locked. He reached up into Korra's pocket of her pants to grab the keys but couldn't get it. He then turned his head to the coffee table and saw it right there. He snagged them and crawled back like the soldiers in the game he often played. Once he was out the door, he started to put on his shoes raising the keys up in victory. "Told ya," he said running down the steps toward the car.
Asami pulled back from the kiss with her hand on Korra's stomach. "Ticklish on your chin..." she said with a small smirk. "Good to know..." she said rubbing it lightly with her index finger grazing across it.
"Gonna use it against me?" Korra asked with a small grin.
Asami leaned back down to Korra's lips and stopped a few inches from it. "Maybe..." she whispered as her hot breath brushed up against Korra's lips.
Before they could engage again, Korra heard Mako's car starting. It had a specific backfire he was still trying to fix but was to stubborn to let anyone else do it. "Wait..." she said stopping Asami who also heard the noise.
Both girls got up with Korra looking through the window as Asami ran towards the door. She saw Korra's car driving off down the street. "Kai!" she shouted as she ran out the door with Korra right behind.
Korra ran down the street after her car as Asami got into her own. She pulled up beside Korra quickly. "Get in!" she shouted with Korra jumping inside since the top was down. Asami stepped on the gas picking up speed behind Korra's car.
Kai was driving but saw the red light up ahead. He pressed on the brakes but nothing was happen. "No no come on.." he said still pressing it.
"Hit the Breaks!" Skoochy shouted placing on his seat belt right after.
"I AM!" Kai shouted in a panic. They ran through the red light nearly colliding with another vehicle.
Asami saw that Kai didn't stop at the red light with her worst fear coming true. She shifted her gears keeping up with the pace. Stepping on the gas driving into traffic from the other intersection. She ran through it and the red light avoiding the other cars in the process.
Korra was panicking not because of Asami's driving. It was in fear of if the boys would be okay. She knew she had to do something.
Asami got closer and closer to the car seeing Kai dodging other cars in his way. She had an awful feeling he couldn't stop. She soon got up beside him and pulled up slightly ahead. "Stop the car!" she shouted to Skoochy's side window.
He rolled it down quickly and shook his head. "He can't the breaks aren't working!" he shouted back in horror.
Asami glanced over at them then back at the road furious at the situation they were in. Korra stood up in her seat trying to get into the back. "What are you doing!" Asami shouted at her as she saw Korra moving.
"Get closer!" she commanded since Asami had to back off a bit from another car approaching them. She was behind Korra's car at this point trying to keep up the best way she could.
Soon as she pulled up beside the car again, Korra was in the back seat. She stood up and took a breath before she ran across the back seats and raised her foot up on the door to push herself off. She lunged toward the other car landing on top of it.
She held on to the sides of the car with a tight grip. She knocked on the sun roof of the car getting the boys attention. "Roll it down!" she shouted as Kai dodged another car. Skoocky rolled it down with Korra holding on to the open window. She nearly fell from the way the car began to sway back and forth.
"Korra hold on!" Asami said still trying her best to keep up with them while avoiding other cars.
Korra pulled herself up and looked down at the boys. "Skoochy come on!" she said waving up to him. "I got you!" she assured him.
Skoochy looked up at her in horror and back at the road. He took off his seat belt and stood up as quickly as he could.
Korra pulled him up on to the roof of the car. "Keep it steady as you can Kai you're doing great!" she encouraged. "Asami!" Korra shouted back to get her attention. She held Skoochy underneath her right arm. "Get closer!" she said with her hand gripping tighter around the boy and the window.
Asami took a deep breath and pulled off to the other side of the car avoiding a van who was on the opposite side. She came right beside Korra's car so they could have access to the back seat.
Korra pulled Skoochy into her arm and kneel down on top of the car. She looked out on to the open road then back down at the back seat. She jumped down with Skoochy's legs wrapped around her waist. They landed in the back of the car. He let go of Korra and held his stomach.
"Put on your seat belt!" Asami shouted in a pissed off manner.
Korra stood up and got into the front seat again. She needed to get back on to Mako's car and quick. "Get me closer," she said again out of breath. She placed her foot on to the passenger seat as Asami made her way up toward Kai's side.
They were headed into another intersection pretty soon. Korra couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Asami got close enough she leaped out of the car from an incredible distance. She grabbed on to the roof quickly so she wouldn't fall. She had to push her foot up against the window of the drivers side.
Once she was back on the roof, she saw Kai about to pass another red light. She got inside of the car through the sun roof. She came took a hold of the wheel but it was to late. A truck was coming at them toward the passenger side. It was as if time had slowed down. Korra reached up behind Kai and placed his seatbelt on. She held on to the back of his seat with her left hand and held him close to her chest with her right shielding him.
Asami stepped on the breaks hard seeing Korra's car get totaled by a truck. The right side was crushed causing a massive indent. Their car was spinning mid air landing down hard. Kai and Korra hit their heads on the drivers side window breaking it. Korra was dazed with blood dripping from her head.
Asami got out of her car and tossed her phone at Skoochy. "Call for help!" she shouted as she ran over towards the wreck. "Kai! Korra!" she shouted as she rushed over to them brushing past people who were starting to crowd at the scene.
She slide to the ground by the drivers side and tried to open up the door but it was jammed. "Korra!" she shouted to get her attention. Kai wasn't moving. "KORRA!"
Korra was out of it but her eyes were blinking subconsciously. Her hearing was shot as was her vision. She could barely grasp the situation. "Is that an angel?" she uttered as she tried to make out the voice. It was mostly white noise til it started to be come more clearer.
"KORRA!" she shouted again pulling on the window frame her hands as her foot pushing up against the other side to pry it open.
Looking out the window, Korra saw a figure and turned her head back down seeing another with her. She shook her head and realized what was going on. "Kai.." she said out of breath. "Kai... come on" she said with her hand moving down to the seat belt. She couldn't unhook him from it. She reached down on her leg and pulled out her knife that was strapped to her ankle. She cut the traps to the seat belt and set him free. He slumped over in the process. She placed the knife back on her leg and put her arm around Kai. She felt the window and pulling up toward it.
Asami saw Korra's hand and looked inside of the car. She reached up and took Kai underneath his arm pits pulling him as Korra pushed him out. Asami pulled him out and moved him off to the side. She reached back into the car and helped Korra out pulling her by her hand. Korra pulled hard and crawled out of the uncomfortable position she was in.
"Check his pulse," Korra said as she crawled over to their side.
Asami when back to Kai and checked his pulse. It was faint. "His got one," she said as she cradled her brother. He wasn't moving but he still had a pulse.
The ambulance showed up 7 minutes later. They placed Kai on to the gurney and brought him on board the ambulance.
The police arrived soon as Asami was getting into her vehicle to go the hospital with Korra. Asami avoided the officer as she got into her vehicle.
"Ma'am!" the officer spoke up as he got to her side door.
Asami stopped and looked up at him with a deadly glare. "I'm going to the hospital with my brother. I'm not answering any fucking questions. Now get out of my way," she threaten.
Korra sat up in the passenger side at the commotion. She placed her hand on Asami's forearm. "I can.." she started as she cleared her throat. "I can stay you go with your brother," she said reaching for her side door.
Asami pulled Korra back to her gently. "No. I need to take you to the hospital," she said since Korra had a concussion. They would have taken her into the ambulance as well but Kai was in a more critical state. "You're bleeding baby," she said as she raised a tender hand to Korra's cheek. She was trying so hard to hold back her tears that were rushing over her.
"I'll be fine," Korra said trying to convince her. "Just go."
Asami frowned up slightly and dropped her hand. "No. I'm taking you..." she said with her gaze turning back on to the cop. "And if you want the information your looking for. You'll get it at the hospital," she said before pressing her foot on the gas and pulling off into that direction.
Asami drove Korra to the hospital. She parked out front and rushed Korra inside shouting for medical attention. Once she was taken, Asami when back outside to park her car in the proper space. Her mind was racing a hundred miles a minute. It was so much she was trying to process. She came back inside of the hospital with Skoochy waiting at the doors.
"You call your dad?" she asked as he handed her back her phone.
He wouldn't make eye contact with her but nodded his head. "Yeah his picking me up in ten," he muttered.
Asami placed her hand on to his shoulder and lead him to the nurses station. She asked where her brothers room was. She told Asami that he was taken to the ICU but there were no vistors at this time unless she was his guardian.
"Fuck..." Asami said under her breath as she walked away from the desk. Skoochy kept his distance but stayed in the general area. She wanted to cry so badly but held it off the best way she could. She felt like this was all her fault. She knew it was all her fault. At least that's what she was convincing herself by the minute.
She sat with Skoochy til he was picked up by his father. The cops came and questioned her about what happened. She was to busy trying to find her way into the ICU to deal with their questions. She eventually told them all that she knew before they left her alone.
Asami sat in the waiting room of the ICU. It had been an hour or so since the accident. The sun had already when down. She kept replaying what happened in her mind. She was so grateful for Korra and what she did for her brother. She covered her hands in her face as she lightly sobbed there alone.
Korra was patched up and ready to leave soon. The nurse advised against it since she had a concussion and broken ribs. She brushed it off and got up from the bed nearly falling over. The nurse tried to help her but she pushed her off lightly. "I got it. I got it," she said as she was heading out the door.
A cop stopped her and began to ask her some questions. She looked him up and down like he was crazy. She held her hand up to cut him off. "I don't have time for this. Do you know where Asami Sato is?" she asked her own question.
He looked just as confused as she was a moment ago. "I need you to answer my question ma'am," he redirected.
Korra nodded and gave him her Captains name with her badge number if he had any more questions for her. She staggered off into the direction of the ICU another nurse pointed out for her. One offered to wheel her there in a wheel chair. Korra agreed but took the wheel chair herself and rolled off without the nurse.
With in twenty minutes, Korra found Asami. She was outside in the waiting area of the ICU. "Hey what are you doing out here?" she asked as she wheeled up beside Asami.
Asami moved her hand from her face seeing Korra. "Korra?" she said with hurt in her voice. She saw her in a wheel chair and thought the worst. "Oh Spirits."
Korra noticed her reaction through squinted eyes and caught on a bit slower than she normally would. "Oh no. I can walk," she said kicking her legs out a bit. "I have a concussion and a bust side thing over here," she said unable to say ribs. "Whats it called it? Its like something you eat. With a lot of sauce. Good sauce and its so delicious and I want some right now..." she ranted since she was kind of high off the pain medication they gave her.
"Ribs?" Asami said as she stood to her feet.
Snapping her fingers, Korra pointed at Asami. "Yes Ribs. Busted!" she said with a chuckle then got serious all the sudden. "Why... why aren't you in there?" she said pointing her thumb at the double doors behind her.
Asami shrugged her shoulders and held the side of her arm looking to the floor. "I'm not family..." she said softly.
"The hell you are. HEY!" Korra shouted as she turned her wheel chair around.
Asami rushed to her side and placed her hands on her shoulders. "It's alright Korra. I'm not his legal guardian so I can't see him unless Zaheer and P'li are here and they haven't picked up yet," she said since she was trying to reach out to them since Skoochy got home safe. She didn't want to cause a scene and get kicked out. She placed her hand on Korra's cheek and bend down to her level. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern in her voice.
Korra looked Asami with a small smile. "I'm fine... but you. you. you need to see your brother. You need to know if his okay," she said getting back on track. She placed her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly like she did to call Naga sometimes. "Hey!" she shouted to one of the nurses who came out of the ICU area.
The woman came up to Korra quickly about to ask if she could keep her voice down but Korra spoke up before she did. "My girlfriend needs to get back there to see her little brother. Alright. Make it happen or this hospital will have serious. serious. serious hell to pay once I'm done okay. So get whoever you need to get to get her back there. now get to going on getting what I asked for," she said pointing down the hall in a demanding tone.
"I can take you to the head of staff," she said in a calm tone fo voice. Hoping that would lower Korra's into a more subtle one.
Korra flexed her arms out before sitting them down on her arm rests of the wheel chair. "Thank you," she said to the nurse who came behind her wheel chair to move Korra. Before she could, Korra held the part of the wheel stopping her. She took Asami's hand and looked up at her brightly. "I will be back okay," she said giving her hand a squeeze.
"Okay... thank you," Asami said as Korra let her hand go. She watched as Korra was wheeled off down the hall.
The nurse had brought Korra to the head of staff moments later since it wasn't that far from the ICU. She stopped Korra a few feet outside the door before disappearing inside.
A few minutes later a man with a bald head and long beard came out to greet her. "Is there a problem I can help you with?" he asked with his hands behind his back.
Korra thought he looked familiar but brushed it off. "Yeah... Tenman," she said reading his name tag briefly. "The ICU won't let my girlfriend in to see her brother. I mean what kind of place are you running here?" she asked not understanding. "I mean spirits help these people who are sick but to deny. Deny! A family member access its really really really really messed up," she got out in a single breath. "So get her back there or there will be orrrder up in here buddy," she said as she pointed at him in an aggressive manner with sleepy eyes.
Tenzin could tell the woman was heavily medicated. He whispered something to the nurse who brought her here but turning his attention back to Korra. "Alright. I will see what I can do. How about you take me to your girlfriend so we can chat more," he suggested as the nurse began to wheel Korra back to the ICU waiting room.
Asami sat there impatiently waiting for Korra to come back. She looked at her watch and saw how late it was getting. She was texting P'li, Ghazan, Ming-Hua and Zaheer all at the same time hoping they would answer. "Come on... come on..." she said nervously. She needed to get back there.
Before she knew it, Korra was wheeled up to her side. "Asami..." Korra said as she was stopped right in front of her again.
Looking up, Asami and smiled brightly at Korra only to hear a second voice repeat her name. Behind Korra was the head of surgery. "Tenzin?" Asami said as she stood to her feet. She placed her hand on Korra's shoulder as she stood next to her.
Korra started to connect the dots together. By the way they spoke to each other, they must have known each other from some where but where. She drifted off into thought about all the possibilities as they spoke about the situation. Asami explained the accident and what happen squeezing Korra's shoulder looking down at her with sad eyes. Korra looked back up and kissed Asami's hand that was still on her shoulder.
"I'll talk to his doctor and see what I can do," Tenzin said before heading to the ICU doors with the nurse right beside him.
His words gave Asami a peace of mind. She sat down next to Korra with her hands in her lap. She was silent for a few minutes before reaching over and taking Korra's hand off the wheel chair and into her own. "Thank you," she said as she rubbed her thumb on the back of Korra's hand. "Thank you for saving my brother," she said getting emotional again. She covered her eyes with her free hand so Korra couldn't see her cry.
Korra looked at her with a soften expression that was still slightly sleepy. She pulled herself up with her free hand and sat in a seat beside Asami. She put her arm around her as Asami rested her head on Korra's shoulder crying softly into it. She let Korra's hand go and wrapped her arm gently around Korra's midsection. Korra placed her other arm around her into a hug as she rested her cheek against the top of Asami's head.
"I can't lose anyone else Korra..." she mumbled into Korra's shoulder.
Korra rubbed Asami's back lightly to soothe her and calm her breathing. "You won't."
Tenzin came back a few minutes later clearing his throat. Korra let go of Asami and turned her attention to Tenzin as she did. "Kai has a serious concussion that has led to him being in a comatose state. He has no eternal injuries thanks to your... girlfriend shielding him from the impact," he said referring to Korra. "All we can do right now is make him comfortable and help him with his general needs until he is ready to wake up on his own," he said seeing the hurt and pain in Asami's eyes. He came up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "If you need anything please call me no matter what," he said before releasing her.
"Thank you Tenzin. I will," Asami said looking up at him before her eyes drifted to the floor.
He nodded and looked over toward the nurse who was going to escort than to Kai's room. Asami got up with Korra getting back into the wheel chair. She brought Korra down the small hall to another set of double doors.
Once they were opened, the nurse escorted them to room 3. Korra wheeled herself the rest of the way in as Asami came up to Kai's bedside. She pulled up a seat beside him and took his hand in hers. Korra parked her wheel chair next to the bed and stood up the best way she could. She was becoming more coherent at what she was saying and doing.
"Kai..." Asami began to say. "I'm so sorry," she murmured with a crack in her voice. Her eyes were swelling again from how emotional she was getting yet again. She sniffed up and looked up Korra with a small frown upon her face. She wanted to think about something else. "What did the police say?" she asked since she barely paid them any mind when they questioned her.
Korra looked over at Asami when she spoke. "I cleared it up. So if they ask you who was driving say it was me," she said wanting to make sure Kai wasn't held responsible for her mistake.
Asami was slightly confused but didn't dwell on it long. She understood what Korra was trying to do. "Did they mention anything on how this happened?" she asked remembering how Skoochy said the breaks weren't working.
Korra didn't want to repeat what was said on the incident but didn't want to lie any further. "Um... not to me but I did hear two other officers outside my door when I was getting stitched up," she said pointing to her bandage on her forehead. "Say that the brakes were cut."
"Like Wei's..." Asami said staring at her brother with a cold expression. She felt disgusted at how something like this could happen to her own family.
Korra nodded lightly. "Yeah," she agreed.
Asami got up quickly from her seat about to walk out the door.
Korra rushed stepping in front of her. "You can't," she said already knowing where she was going.
Asami was starting to see red with her eyes growing more furious at the thought. "I don't care. I'm going to kill that bastard," she said walking to the side of Korra.
Stepping in front of her again, Korra held her hands up to keep Asami at a distance. "Please don't do this," she asked as Asami was persistent.
"Korra..." she said nearly pleading in her voice. "I need you to step aside."
Looking into Asami's eyes, Korra placed her arms around her shoulders and held her tightly. "I can't," she said refusing her request.
Under any other circumstances Asami would have used physical force to remove someone out of her way. She just couldn't do that to Korra. Feeling the warmth of her arms around her made Asami raise her hands up around Korra's back holding her tightly as she cried on her shoulder once again.
During the night, Korra stayed with Asami and Kai. They shared the reclining chair in the corner of the room which they moved closer to the bed. When morning came, Asami woke up in the chair feeling more space in it this time. She looked around the room and noticed Korra was gone. "Korra?" she said as she stood up to her feet. She began to crack her arms a bit as she stretched out. She looked over to Kai and placed her hand on his as she took a seat in the chair by his bed.
"Why did this have to happen..." she asked in a way as her gaze lowered. A light knock on the door caused her eyes to shift over to the door.
Korra opened up the door up and came back inside. She didn't want to disturb anyone or startle them in case Kai woke up.
When Korra came inside, Asami gave a weak smile her way. "I thought you left..." she said in a whisper as she stood to her feet.
Korra shook her head and came up to Asami. "No I wouldn't leave like that," she said feeling Asami's arms around her neck. She placed one of her own on the small of her back squeezing her lightly. "I just thought you'd want some breakfast," she said in the same monotone of voice Asami had. She held up a small bag of food with a small smile. She had snuck out and when down to the cafeteria earlier to get some fresh muffins and bagels.
Asami released Korra and took a seat back in her chair as Korra took a seat in the recliner next to her chair.
Korra started to take out the bagel sandwiches with the muffins and two waters. She handed Asami hers and placed hers on her lap. She began to eat her bagel as Asami placed her hand back on to Kai's.
Twenty minutes already when by and Asami still hadn't touched her food. Korra wasn't insulted by it just concerned. "You have to eat something. Please?" she asked as Asami looked back to her.
"How can I eat when he can't..." she said sniffling a bit as she looked back to her brother.
Korra would have pointed out the IV but instead refrained and tried a more subtle approach. "Then do it for him," she encouraged. She sat up in her chair and leaned over to Asami's ear and said in a whisper. "Before it gets cold," she teased remembering what Asami said about her brother not eating food once it was cold.
Asami laughed lightly with a tear falling down her cheek. She wiped it away with a weak smile. "Okay..." she agreed looking over to Korra. "I'll try."
Korra smiled at Asami for agreeing with her. Her phone started to go off causing her to rumble through her pockets. She took it out and shut it off forgetting that she even had it on. "Shit I'm sorry," she apologized to Asami. Hoping she didn't disturb Kai or anyone else. Looking at the screen she saw it was her Captain. She ended it and placed her phone back into her pocket finishing her bagel off before starting on her muffin.
"Who was it?" Asami asked curiously on who Korra was dismissing.
"Work," she said knowing why Lin was calling. She told that cop last night to speak to her superior officer about the incident.
Asami turned around in her chair to face Korra. "You should go," she said not wanting her to miss work for her.
Korra shook her head looking up at Asami. "I can miss it this is more important," she said putting Asami and Kai first. "I'm not leaving your side," she said in that same determined voice Asami remembered so well when they first met.
Asami placed her hand on top of Korra's rubbing it softly. "I'll still be here when you get back. Just go please. I don't want you to lose your job because of me," she said with concern in her voice.
Knowing Asami had enough to worry about, Korra wasn't going to argue. "Alright. I'll call you soon as I get a break," she said standing up seeing Asami doing the same.
Asami smiled as she placed her hand on Korra's shoulder. She leaned up and kissed Korra on her cheek. "Thank you for everything," she said again.
Korra rested her forehead to Asami's. "Your welcome..." she said before rubbing her nose lightly up against Asami's who giggled lightly with a soften smile.
Walking toward the door, Korra stopped when Asami cleared her throat to get her attention. "How are you going to get to work?" she asked since Korra had no car anymore and a concussion on top of it.
"I have ride picking me up," Korra replied with a small smile. "I'll be fine," she assured.
Asami nodded her head as her eyes drifted on to the floor. "Okay. Be safe," she said looking back to Korra.
"I will," Korra said giving Asami her own signature wink before heading out of the door.
