Korra's POV
I opened the door as soon as Azula was out of sight and called Mako in. He looked outside the window and told me there was no sign of her. He told me to stay there and wait while he got some back up. I felt Jet's piercing glare on me the whole time. I put my hands in my pockets, nervously, trying to ignore the way he was looking at me. I felt something in my pocket and I frowned before taking out a piece of paper. I unfolded it and read what it said 'He's next'.
I could have sworn my heart stopped as my blood went cold. She wouldn't. She couldn't. But as much as I tried to convince myself of the contrary, I knew she would. I knew she could. I stuffed the paper back into my pocket as Mako came back in with Commissioner Bei Fong.
"I want this room secured," she barked at the officers.
I stole a glance at Jet.
"I'm sorry," I whispered again.
"Leave," he snarled at me. I flinched and Mako led me out. When we got to the car I just couldn't take it anymore and broke down in tears.
Mako's POV
I had to give Korra a sedative. She was just hysterical on the way back. I carried her into her parents room and explained what happened. They understood and surprisingly Tonraq didn't want to bite my head off. Senna pulled Korra up against her chest and ran her hand through her hair, whispering soothing words while Tonraq draped her legs on his lap.
I went to my room and started to search for Azula. I needed to know where she was hiding as soon as possible. She had done a lot of harm already and this needed to end. Now. Iroh contacted me and said Jet was being a little difficult and cursed mine and Korra's name every time he could. The Commissioner had decided to keep him asleep while he calmed. I was sort of happy about that. Jet wasn't thinking right, and I didn't want him blowing our cover. He wanted closure, and I was going to give it to him by capturing that monster.
Korra's POV
Mako had given me a sedative. When I woke up, I was in my mother's arms. She smiled at me and I did too. My dad caressed my cheek and I leaned against his touch. Yeah, I wasn't a baby anymore, but, I felt safe and protected whenever my parents held me this way.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded.
"Just a little nervous breakdown," I muttered.
They chuckled.
"You know we are always here for you," my mother soothed kissing my forehead.
My smile broadened.
"I know," I replied.
"Is everything alright?" my father asked.
I shook my head.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?" mom asked as well.
I sighed.
"You know, there's something's that…people have to do…right?"
They nod.
"Like you protecting the city," my mother replied.
"Yeah, like that," I answer biting my lip. "You guys understand…the responsibility I have, to…protect others."
"We do," dad said. "And we are very proud," he added kissing my forehead as well.
I gave them another smile before sitting up. They helped me up and I made my way to my room and noticed Mako was on his laptop. He smiled at me, unplugged his earphones and placed the laptop on the night stand. I crawled on the bed towards him and he threw an arm around my waist, holding me close to his chest.
"What were you listening to?" I asked.
He smiled.
"Our song."
I smiled as well.
"Want me to play it?" he asked.
I nodded. He chuckled and played the song as I leaned against his chest.

"Korra are you ok?" he asked.
I blinked and realized I had been crying. Quickly I wiped away the tears and nodded.
"I guess it just got to me," I said.
"I'll never let you go, I swear I've never felt like this before, cos everyday I love you more and more, you lift me up so high, I look into your eyes I see forever," he whispered into my ear.
I held back a sob.
"We're always going to be together," Mako reassured kissing my temple.
I leaned my forehead against his and closed my eyes.
"Listen, Mako," I began. "No matter how bad things get, no matter what happens, I want you to know that I love you, even after my heart stops beating. This I promise you. "
He smiled and leaned for a kiss and I complied as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
