Manifest
A/N: This one goes off of the 4th episodes canon, and delves into Korra's feelings. This wasn't just a shipping episode for me, but a deeper understanding of Korra's insecurities. They were presented very well in this episode, and I want to siphon some of that feeling out.
P.S. To anyone out there hating on Asami, please don't. She's a sweetheart. Though the Masami relationship does bug me I can find no reason to dislike her.
It hurt, everything hurt, and Korra honestly didn't want to feel any more.
The Rally, where she thought she'd been safe, where she at least had Mako's arm to cling to when she was scared. Now that was nothing more than a pipe dream, she should of known that it meant nothing.
The Task force mission, where she had nothing but her pride to root her and get the job done.
She shivered, they didn't deserve it, she knew it was wrong, but she didn't have any control anymore. She was the Avatar and yet she couldn't even take charge of one city..
And finally the "Duel". If it had been another day, at another time Korra would have said that Amon had "cheated", that he was even more of a coward for bringing his cronies in to do the dirty work.
Korra's grip on her arms tightened. But who was she kidding? This wasn't an enclosure hidden away by snow in the South Pole. This was the real world, and in the real world people cheat, and steal, and lie...and break your heart.
So after training she had excused herself from dinner, making the excuse that she needed to go pro-bending training She scoffed in her mind at that thought, that was one of the last places she wanted to be.
She dived into the icy bay. The water burning her skin as she drifted toward the second island in Yue bay. The one where her past life stood proud.
She walked up to the top, and sat upon the grand lotus. She saw him here once, so maybe she could see him again. She closed her eyes.
She sees pictures, she thinks they're memories: of Aang. Him and Katara, they weren't perfect, at least not at first. She doesn't notice him, Korra can feel his heart break in each moment, like hers has.
"Love always finds a way"
Even if it had, the road is bumpy, she sees it all, and smiles and grimaces and laughs right along with Aang.
She sees his insecurities, his fear of killing even when it was someone as evil as the Fire Lord. Though he had found a way. Somehow despite everything he had found a way. Maybe she could find a way too.
She wakes up when it starts raining. She smiles as it cleanses her and washes everything away. She would find a way, she knew this now. She headed to the pro-bending arena, her training was really quite overdue. She needed to face things again; face him.
