I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF KORRA.


Chapter: 12

. . .

Slowly Tenzin and Pema enter the waiting room and they sit down with a sigh.

Everyone instantly looks over at them with concerned and worried expressions.

"H- how did they look?" Senna questions Tenzin and Pema quietly.

Pema and Tenzin share a look then they both slowly turn and face everyone else. Pema sighs and shakes her head, "They look so peaceful. They both look like they've been through hell though."

Senna nods her head slowly, a tear slides down her cheek, "My poor baby girl . . ."

Tonraq wraps his strong arms around his wife and kisses the top of her head, "They will both be fine. They'll make it through this . . . one way or another."

Lin and Katara stand up and exchange a look.

"Well go see them now, then, Senna and Tonraq, you both could go see them." Katara says slowly to the two waterbenders.

They both nod then bury their faces into each other, letting the tears run down both their faces.

Lin and Katara walk slowly walk to Korra and Mako's room. Katara already has seen them when she wanted to see if she could try and heal them; she was already prepared. Lin on the other hand, the woman who everyone believes she's strong, brave, tough, serious, shows no emotions . . . has no clue what she's about to be greeted with and she's actually going to show her true emotions for the first time in a long time.

The earthbender and the old waterbender make it up to the white door. They both share a look before Lin grabs the door handle and slowly opens it.

They both walk inside and Katara quickly shuts the door. Lin's blood grows cold when she sees the Avatar and the famous Pro-Bending star lying on the hospital beds; looking dead.

"That- that can't be them." Lin chuckles and shakes her head, "That isn't them."

Katara looks down and sighs, "Lin, it is them. They're both in this- this coma."

Lin slowly looks over to Katara, she looks into her light blue eyes, "Avatar Korra isn't someone to just give up. This can't be her. And for Mako, he wouldn't lie in a hospital bed even if he had to save his own life."

Katara walks next to Korra's side of the bed and sits down on the chair, "They didn't give up. They're both- they're both just getting some rest that they missed out on. There are not gone. They both will make it through this, one way or another and I am sure of it."

Lin sits down on the chair next to Mako's side of the bed, "It's so hard to see them like this. You know, Katara, at first when Korra first came to Republic City I arrested her. She was a handful and I did not want her in my city. She was a troublemaker and I wanted her gone. I didn't care if she was the Avatar or not; I wanted her to just . . . disappear, leave the city, whatever she had to."

Lin pauses then continues, "Now I look at her and I see not the Avatar or some random girl . . . I see a friend."

Katara gives Lin a small smile, "I'm sure Korra thinks the same way for you. I am sure she considers you as one of her friends."

"For Mako . . ." Lin begins with a sad smile, "I don't even know where to begin. I first met him when he and Bolin were on the streets. They stole a piece of bread and I was nearby so I went after the two running kids. At first, I thought they were just stealing to act 'cool' or whatever, but I was far off."

Katara nods her head, showing that she's listening and Lin continues on.

"When I finally caught them, Mako's golden eyes looked up at me and I was worry and terrified eyes. I was going to arrested them, but he shot fire right in my face and ran off with Bolin. Later on I ran into him at a probending match. I was being a backup security and I wasn't watching where I was going and I bumped into him. Before either one of us could say anything I noticed his bright, fire, golden eyes and I knew exactly who it was."

Katara looks into Lin's eyes and notices that they're watery, "It's okay to be upset you know."

Lin shakes her head, "I am not upset."

The earthbender immediately looks away from the old waterbending master and looks at Mako's pale, cold face. His eyes are shut and his eyelashes are softly touching his skin.

Katara looks down at Korra and sees the young girl with a few bruises on her face and body. Katara lets out a sigh and looks back up at Lin.

"You know," Katara begins, "you are so much like your mother it's scary."

Lin's eyebrows knit together, "Excuse me?"

Katara chuckles, "Toph was the same way. She would never show her true emotions. She always wanted to act brave, strong, unbeatable, stubborn and many other things. Whenever she was feeling sad or mad she would just ignore it and pretend to be fine. It's okay to cry or be upset at looking at two of your friends like this."

Lin lets a small tear run down her face, "The kids . . . Haku and Rei are broken without Mako and Korra. It actually hurts me to see the two small kids cry and beg for Mako and Korra to wake up. I hate it. Katara, I hate seeing them like this . . . I hate seeing Tenzin so destroyed and lost . . . I hate it all!"

Katara stays quiet as she watches Lin burst in tears and cry into her hands. Katara says nothing and lowers her eyes. She grabs Korra's hand and rubs her thumb over her tan skin.

After a few minutes of silence, Katara starts to speak, "When Aang died I was destroyed. When my brother passed I was even more destroyed. Many of my friends passed away, including your mother, and I hated everything and everyone. I always wanted to be alone and I would never talk to anyone. You see though, Lin, the only difference with this situation is that Korra and Mako are alive and soon they will both open their eyes and come back to us."

Lin smiles at Katara, "Thank you, Katara."

Katara nods and stands up from her seat, "You ready?"

Lin nods her head slowly and stands up from her seat on the chair, "Yes, let Senna and Tonraq visit the two and have some time with them."

The earthbender and the waterbender both share one last look at Korra and Mako's unconscious bodies before leaving the room and heading back to the waiting room.

Something no one knows is that Mako and Korra hear every word that they're saying. The only problem is that they can't find their way back to their minds . . . back to their bodies.


Okay guys, that's it for chapter 12!

First off I would like to say: I am so, sooo sorry for the late update! School has been VERY busy and I haven't had a chance to upload the new chapter! Also, I'm sorry for this chapter being so short, I'll be making them longer, I promise! ^_^

I hope you guys did like this chapter and I know you all want to see what's going to happen to Mako and Korra, but I PROMISE I will be showing more Makorra and what's going on with them while they're in the coma. :)
