"...Raiko, are yo...Raiko? Where's Raiko?" As the remaining officers look around, dismayed at Raiko's disappearance, I smirk at them and say, "Who is next?" followed by a low chuckle. Moments after I see Tenzin motion Asami out into the hall, I hear Raiko yelling, and then Tenzin yell back. "Bolin help me out there, I need to see what Raiko's up to!" As Bolin carries me to the door I see 4 confused looking Republic City Police officers as the stranger chuckles at them. Tenzin looks at Foad, "What did you do with Raiko?" "I took him on a long walk off a short pier." "Foad, Raiko can't swim!" I hear Foad say "Shit" and disappear, only reappear a second later dropping a dripping wet, coughing Raiko in a crumpled pile a Tenzin's feet. Tenzin looks at Raiko, "President Raiko, I think it best if you, your staff, any Republic City Police and military leave Air Temple Island, immediately!" Turning to Asami and Foad, Tenzin brings them back into my room, where I hear him whisper, "Foad can someone travel with you while you...Time Bend? I need you and Asami to find Lin and Mako to let them know that under no circumstances should they leave the island. Raiko is looking for scapegoats to blame the destruction of Republic City on. If you see Jinora have her tell the Captain of the White Lotus to clear the island of Raiko's people. Lin and Jinora are at the copiers, while Mako should be at the Healers. I offer my arm to Ms. Sato, "If I may escort you Ms. Sato?" "You may Foad, and if we are to be working together its Asami." As I begin to bend time I notice that Asami is like Raiko, not aware of me as I'm actually dragging her feet across the floor, so I stop after a couple of steps. As Foad takes my arm I see him disappear for just a second, but now I'm just outside Korra's room in the hallway. "Humm, that didn't work, Asami let's try this again with skin to skin contact.", as I offer her my hand. Accepting Foad's explanation I remove my gloves and take his hand. As we begin to move everything goes silent as the hallway turns into a blur. "Foad, this is amazing, it's so quite!" "Great, it works! So which way do we to reach the copiers?" "They'll be in the library, which is out this exit, we'll turn left and it will be second building on the right, past the women's bath house." As we continue towards the library I think aloud, "I wonder if this field would extend to someone holding your hand and if so how far out it would go? Otherwise I think I'll be limited to just one or two people." "Foad, that's an excellent question, we can test that when we find Lin and Jinora!" "Umm, about Lin, I mean Chief Bei Fong, do you know if she is involved with anyone? I asked Master Tenzin, but seem confused about my age and didn't really answer my question." I look at this young man, who appears to be in his mid - twenties, and ask "Just how old are you?" "I'm 56, isn't the white goatee and mustache a big give away!" "Umm, Foad its fire red and you look like you're in your mid - twenties!" I stop suddenly, almost loosing grip of Asami's hand, "What!...I need to find a mirror, fast!" "I have one right here." as I reach in to my jacket pocket for my compact and flip it open, showing him his face. As Asami opens up the compact I steady it with my free hand and aim the reflection towards my mouth. I am amazed at what I see, not only is my facial hair red, but the scaring to my lower lip from a bicycle accident from High School is gone, smiling I see that I have all my teeth, still jumbled together, "Holy Mother Puss Buckets, I look 30 years younger! No wonder she called me kid...well here's hoping she likes younger looking men!" As I close the compact and hand it back to Asami, "Come on let's go!", and start running towards the library, still bending time. TBC
