AN: Not much to say. Just enjoy!

Eska kept her normal mask on as she made her way to the prison to visit her brother.
"Eska, Eska!" yelled Korra as she ran toward her.
"I told you I need to do this on my own." Eska was clearly fed up with people treating her like she needed to be watched. This was her entire childhood. She just wanted the smallest bit of freedom and trust from others.
"Yeah, you know I would never intentionally make you angry though. What are you going to tell the policeman monitoring the jail? You know to keep security they ask you for your name and identity. If you tell them you're from the north, well, bad things... I can get you in without questioning. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Desna. I probably won't be seeing him for a long time."
Eska sighed. Why does she have to be so stubborn? Ugh. "Fine."
"We are here to visit Prince Desna of the Northern Water Tribe."
"Name an- oh! Avatar Korra! What an honor!" The man bowed to her. "I will escort you to him."
The man led them through many iron corridors, until they came to a dead end. Eska thought they kept him there because he is the biggest threat to RepublicCity at the moment.
Korra waved her hand at the man signaling him to get lost. He bowed to her and left.
"Desna..." Eska said as she looked at the teenager in the cell and took a step closer. She never thought she would see her own twin in a prison cell. It made her speechless.
Desna perked up at the sound of Eska's voice. "Finally, you've come. I was beginning to think my sister forgot about me." He looked away. "Eska, I am so ashamed," he came closer and grabbed the bars that imprisoned him. "I was wrong for not following you. I was wrong about father. I was wrong about everything. Please, you have to get me out of here," he acknowledged Korra for the first time since they entered, "I want to help fight against my father and the north."
"Oh, geez. Desna," Korra took a deep breath, "I want to help you, but there is no way of knowing if I can trust you. Not to mention get everyone else to trust you enough to let you out."
"How do they trust Eska?"
"I'm not sure that they do. I'm just having her help behind the scenes." She hadn't done anything yet but Korra was doing her cousin a favor because she was unsure if Eska wanted to put a label on her relationship or tell her brother about it. "Please, I beg you, Avatar Korra. There has to be some way!" Being called Avatar Korra by him threw her off. She never thought Desna would call her by that name, but she could see the desperation in his eyes. This meant she knew he was being truthful and she felt she could trust him. Avatar's intuition.
"I wish I could help, I really do, Desna. I just don't think there is a possibility."
This whole time Eska had been listening knowing there was no way he could be let out. She felt like her life was falling apart. She hadn't realized how much affect her twin had on her. She trusted him.
"Korra, are you sure?" asked Eska with tears threatening her eyes.
Korra looked at her sadly. "I'll see what I can do." She tuned back to her cousin who was in the cell. "I'll see you later, Desna. I'll get you out. I promise."
Desna stood straight and made her a proper bow. "Thank you, Avatar Korra." Still threw her off.
As soon as Korra and Eska left the prison, they went to get Mako and Bolin some food since Eska would be staying there. She felt like she owed them. By the looks of it Korra would be staying there too because she didn't care for AirtempleIsland if Tenzin and his family weren't there.
"So! What do you think?" Bolin asked as they finished watching the first screening of The Adventures of Nuctuk. "I'm Nuctuk!"
Eska shyly smiled. "I love it." She wasn't going to admit to him that half the time she didn't know what was going on because she was distracted by his costume. She gave Bolin a hug, but then stepped back sharply. "Though, I am not fond of that girl, Ginger."
"Are you jealous because we are onscreen 'together'?" He smirked, but then became serious. "Because I promise you are the only one for me."
"No I just don't like the way... she...acts." The way she said it almost made it sound like a question. She also would not admit she actually was jealous. Not of Ginger, but that she got Bolin in the 'movers'. She wanted him all the time. Especially when he was Nuctuk.
Bolin smirked. He knew what she was thinking. He wouldn't make her say it though. He was too nice to force it out of her. He already knew he was right, anyway. "Let's go home."
He held him arm out, and she took it. They walked out of the building to take a taxi. Bolin called one and they told the driver their address.
"So Korra told me you and her went to the prison today." Eska nodded. He would have to prod her more. "Do you...want to talk about what happened?"
"Not really. But I guess since you are my boyfriend, I should tell you." she breathed deeply before she began. "He wants to help us. He admitted his mistakes, but no one believe him except for me. And maybe Korra, I don't know." She began to get angry and crossed her arms as she looked out the car window.
Okay. Note to self: Don't ask Eska to talk about stuff. Bolin thought. "Um...we don't have to talk about this. You know what, lets talk about what we should o for our next date." He didn't know much that Eska liked to do, but he knew Eska enjoyed being with him.
He was successful in changing her mood. She smiled as she turned to look him in the eye. "I would like that." After she said that, the car stopped.
Bolin paid the taxi driver and they walked in the apartment. Eska silently wished that they would not find Korra and Mako like they did last time. It made her feel uncomfortable.
To Eska's delight, they found Korra sitting on their couch listening to the radio, and Mako was cooking. They all ate, and talked after they finished eating. Then they went to their bedrooms. As for Korra, Mako was too nice to make Korra sleep on the couch, so she slept in his double bed with him.
AN: So...tell me what you think. Tell me if you think Nuctuk was a good idea (also correct me on my spelling if its wrong) also, if you have ideas you want me to consider, send them in. Sorry this update took longer than it should have. I got lazy. I have fall break starting on Wednesday, so I should be writing much more in the coming week.
You can be my best friend if you review! All you have to do is tell me your opinion. Don't be shy. I won't judge or hate you. I promise :)
