Asami's pov:
"How could you even look at those benders after what happened to Yasuko!"
I flinched at my father's words as I looked down at the glove that he had just handed to me, my eyes burning as I slid it on.
"They're my friends Dad….I don't care if they're benders or not!" I replied, wincing at how my voice quivered.
"Friends? Fire benders killed your mother! You are going to tarnish her memory like this?" he barked, sounding angrier than I'd ever heard him.
"Mom would want you helping those…rebels! You said you're doing this because you loved mom…but you don't! You're too blinded by hate!" I yelled, causing his eyes to widen.
"You're no daughter of mine!"
Blinking back tears I found myself dodging something silver that came at me from the side. Filled with shock I felt my eyes spill over as I brought the electrolyzed glove against his shoulder.
"I love you dad." I managed to say as he sank to the floor.
It didn't take long for the police to get there, though to my surprise Mako and Kuvira was with them.
"Asami!" both exclaimed as chief beifong walked over.
"You okay kid?" she asked, though I could barely manage a nod.
"You gave me all the information I needed over the phone…why don't you let those two take you somewhere while we finish the investigation?" she suggested, just as Kuvira put a hand on my shoulder.
"Let's take her to the island….before she goes into shock." I heard Mako say though I just felt numb.
How could he have tried to hurt me? How could he hurt anyone?
I wondered, sitting in the back of my car as Mako fumbled with the keys.
As soon as the ferry docked I stumbled my way toward the back gardens, just wanting to get away from everyone.
It seemed as soon as I sat down I burst into tears, everything from earlier playing back through my mind including the fact that I had an Eqaulist glove still in my car.
I didn't even notice that I wasn't alone until I felt a hand rest on my back.
"I'm sorry Asami."
I hated that she saw me like this, saw me so broken.
"Go away Korra." I muttered, burying my face into my arms though I felt arms wrap around my shoulders.
"Okay…but if you need me just send Naga….I'd feel better if you had someone out here and she's as good as anyone else." She replied, breaking the hug before walking off.
I felt Naga nuzzle me, whining softly until I looked up. As soon as I did she put her head on my shoulder, resting a paw on my back from where she lay.
"You are so weird." I stated, trying not to cry anymore thought I couldn't seem to stop myself so I buried my face into her fur, hopeful to muffle the sound as sobs began to wreck my body.
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew was that I was being shaken awake.
"Come on…It's getting chilly out here. We set you up a room." Korra whispered gently, blue eyes shimmering with concern as she led me toward the temple.
"It's kind of plain but I hope you like it." She said as soon as we were at one of the rooms, reminding me why I was there.
"Can you stay in here for a while? I don't think I want to be alone right now." I managed to croak out, earning a smile.
"Of course." She answered, helping me over to the bed before adding "do you want some tea or something?"
I shook my head and we sat in silence for a long time, Naga resting her head on my lap.
"I've lost everyone." I finally said and almost instantly she wrapped her arms around me.
"Nonsense. You have us." She whispered, rubbing my back as more tears spilt over.
"Just let it out 'Sami. There's no shame in crying." She murmured and for once I found myself letting go
