I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF KORRA.
Chapter: 13
. . .
Once Lin and Katara make it back to the waiting room and back to their seats, Senna and Tonraq knew that it was their turn.
Bolin notices the stained tears on Lin's cheeks and he tries to hold in his gasp.
If Lin was crying then that must show that it's bad. Korra and Mako are badly hurt and it's most likely going to be very scary to see them.
Senna and Tonraq stand up slowly and start to make their way to Korra and Mako's room.
"How are they?" Bolin asks the waterbending master, Katara.
Katara hesitates at the question first, but then answers, "They're hurt and injured. They both look so peaceful; they don't look like they're in a coma."
Haku looks up at Katara and in a shaky voice asks, "Are they even still alive?"
Katara closes her eyes and takes a long, deep breath, "Yes, Haku. They're both still alive, but just in a- in a deep sleep."
"So, they didn't wake up yet . . .?" Rei says. It wasn't really a question; it was more like a statement.
Lin shakes her head, "No, not yet . . . but they will. I promise."
Rei sighs and leans back on the chair and closes her eyes. Small tears escape her eyes; she stays silent.
Senna and Tonraq finally make it to Mako and Korra's room after walking very slowly.
Tonraq has his strong arms wrapped around Senna. He holds her tightly against him and they both take long, deep breaths before entering the silent room.
Senna gasps at the sight of her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend. He instantly turns around and buries her face in her husband's chest. He holds her tightly as she sobs into his chest and he looks at his lifeless looking daughter.
She looks so peaceful . . . so broken.
A few minutes go by and Senna slowly pulls away and walks over to her daughter.
"K-K-Korra . . ." Senna manages to say in between her sobs.
Tonraq walks over next to his wife and looks down at Korra. He studies the bruises and cuts and dried blood that's on her tan skin.
"My baby girl . . ." Tonraq says quietly and lets a few of his own tears run down his face, "She didn't deserve this . . . neither of them did."
Senna wipes her tears and places her warm hand on top of Korra's old one, "I'm so, so sorry I wasn't here to protect you. I should have done something. I should have protected you."
Tonraq shakes his head, "It isn't your fault, Senna. This is no one's fault expect for that low life piece of garbage, Amon."
Senna runs her hand through her hair and then strokes a piece of loose hair out of Korra's face.
Korra's hair is now out of her usual ponytails; her hair isn't how she usually has it. It's all messed up and loose. Mako's hair is not in his usual 'style', it's messed up and knotted; just like Korra's.
"Do you think they can hear us? Do you think they both know that we're here?" Senna quietly questions, already knowing his answer.
"I think so. I hope so at least." Tonraq says as he looks over at Mako, examining how many bruises and cuts he has. "I hope he wakes up soon. I want to thank Mako."
Senna looks up at her husband, confused, "What are you talking about?"
"What I mean, Senna, is that . . . look at Mako. All the cuts, dried blood, bruises, burn marks . . . everything; he tried to protect our little girl. He might not have protected her enough because then she wouldn't be in this coma now, but, he tried to save her. I want, no, I need to thank him."
Senna walks over to Mako's side and strokes his cheek, "I'm glad that Korra found someone who loves her for her . . . not for being the Avatar. She deserves to be happy and to be loved by someone who treats her well and is willing to risk his own life for her. She has to make it through because if she doesn't . . . if she doesn't then it just wouldn't be fair . . . it wouldn't be right."
Tonraq takes Korra's small hand into his larger one, "She's so strong . . . she's so loving . . . she's so unselfish . . . she's so caring. Senna . . . why? Why would something happen to someone like her? Why did this happen to her? Why?! Damn it, why?!"
Tonraq falls to his knees and cries. Someone so strong, so serious, someone so big and powerful is now vulnerable. He's actually on his knees crying. The big, scary-looking waterbender/husband/father is now on his knees crying into his hands.
Senna's heart completely breaks.
Tears run down her face and she shakes her head. Her eyes slowly face Korra and Mako and she wipes her eyes but it is no use. The tears just come back in less than seconds, "I- no . . . we love you. We both love you both."
Senna slowly walks over to Tonraq and falls to her knees as well and wraps her small arms around him.
"They'll be okay . . . they'll be okay . . . they- they have to be." Senna sobs into Tonraq's chest.
The two sit on the hospital floor, crying and sobbing.
Korra and Mako hear everything though. They hear every word that Senna and Tonraq are saying, but they can't find it in themselves to answer. They can't open their eyes, they can't speak . . . they can't move . . . nothing.
Korra's mind is yelling at her to say, 'Mom, dad! You're here! I'm fine! Mako and I are fine! Ugh! Why can't you two hear me?! Mom, dad, please . . . please! I'm fine . . . I love you two so much. Protect Haku and Rei for me! I'm be awake from this -what am I in again? Oh right . . . coma- coma soon! Don't worry.'
Even though Korra's mind is yelling at her to wake from the coma, nothing is happening. Not yet anyways.
*In the waiting room.*
"Hey . . . it's been a while since Senna and Tonraq have been in there. You think they're alright?" Asami asks no one in particular.
Bolin runs his hand through his dark, messy hair, "I think they just need to face reality right now. They must be really destroyed seeing the two of them lying on the hospital bed. To be honest . . . I don't think I can really handle seeing my brother and my best friend like this . . ."
Asami frowns and places her hand on Bolin's shoulder, "You'll be fine. I'm sure Mako would love to see you. Even though they're in a coma, they could still hear you talking to them. I know it."
Bolin looks up at Asami and gives her a sad smile, "Thank you, Asami. I really appreciate it."
Asami shrugs her shoulders, "Anytime."
Bolin leans towards Asami and kisses her gently on the lips. They kiss for a few moments until Tenzin coughs, making the couple pull away instantly.
Bolin and Asami blush and Haku and Rei actually managed to chuckle and smile.
*Back With Senna And Tonraq.*
Senna is sitting on the edge of the bed next to Mako. Tonraq is sitting on the chair next to Korra's side of the bed. The room is silence.
Senna wipes her tears away, but they just keep coming back, "Mako . . . I don't know if you could hear me or not, but I just wanted to tell you one thing. Even though your parents are gone, it doesn't mean that they wouldn't and aren't proud of you. I'm sure that if they were alive today they would be so proud of you how you took care of Bolin, you found someone to love, you took two kids in who no one wanted . . . you saved the unwanted kids. You saved Korra believe it or not. Without you in her life she would probably be even more reckless then she already is now, she needs you, she wants you in her life and I know you feel the same way about her. I just want to say, thank you, Mako, so, so much. I love you like you're my own son."
Tonraq smiles at his wife, "He is our son in every way that counts and hey, that's coming from me so it must be true."
Senna chuckles, "I am impressed that you haven't killed him yet. You don't usually like any man near 'your' daughter. Mr. Over Protective Father."
They both laugh and smile down at the two young adults.
"Should we go?" Tonraq asks his wife.
Senna is about to nod her head, but stops when something in Mako's pocket that is hanging out catches her eye.
"Tonraq . . ." Senna begins with a shaky voice.
"What?! What is it?!" Tonraq immediately jumps at the sudden shaky and worry voice that is coming from his wife, "Is everything okay?"
Senna grabs the small box out of Mako's pocket and shows it to Tonraq, "Isn't this what I think it is?"
"What?" Tonraq questions; completely oblivious to what is in the box and the city's tradition of how to ask a woman to marry them.
Senna slowly opens the box and they both gasp at the sight.
A shining diamond is sparkling at them; it looks beautiful. It isn't too big, but it isn't small either.
"Is he-" Tonraq begins, but can't find the words to finish the sentence.
Senna nods her head slowly, "Mako is going to ask our daughter to marry him . . . at least he was going to ask her I'm guessing before the whole Amon thing happened."
Tonraq is completely speechless. No words can express what he's feeling expect for, "I'll kill him."
Senna rolls her ocean blue eyes that look just like Korra's, "Tonraq! You are not going to kill anyone and you are NOT going to hurt Mako. Understand?"
Tonraq sighs, but nods his head, "Fine. BUT, me and that boy will be having a serious talk."
Senna smiles and rolls her watery blue eyes, "Oh come on, let's go."
Tonraq smiles and walks to his wife's side and begins to walk out of the room with Senna; his arm around her waist.
They both exit the room slowly and begin to head back to the waiting room.
