Viva Las Vegas ch. 28
Epilogue 6 years later
Korra finished off her last match of the night and defending her title for a whole bunch of newcomers. It's been 6 years the fighter got her start in the MMA circuit and climbed her way up to the top. It took a lot of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. A lot of sweat with how much she trained with Opal. The Alaskan's dream of becoming a MMA fighter has certainly reached new heights over the years and it only gotten better than she could ever imagine.
Korra didn't expect to be happily married to the most beautiful and intelligent woman in the world. The couple have been married for about 6 ½ years now and life together has only gotten better. Least that's what the fighter says to anyone who asks and every interview that she's had over the years. Who would have thought that I would be married to the one person that I hated with an extreme passion? If anyone had told me 7 years ago that I would be happily married to my ex's ex girlfriend then the old me would've told them that they were insane and to take a long walk off of a cliff.
Now I can't imagine my life without her in it and I don't want to spend it with anyone but Asami. The Alaskan misses her family and wants to be with them right now but a long train ride is standing in her way. The blue eyed woman sets her duffel bag in the holding cabinet before flopping down in her seat. Her body is aching in places that she didn't know that she had. It wont be long before reach home and collapse on the couch like a normal person.
I'll get to see everyone especially Asami and the kids. I wonder what they're up to right now… probably sleeping since it's half past midnight. Korra rests her chin on the top of her knuckles and stares out of the window as the train started slowly moving. The door of the cart opens catching the fighter's interest. It's her trainer Opal with her green backpack strapped to her back and her book glued to her right hand.
The green eyed trainer hasn't changed a bit since her Aunt made her the Alaskan's personal trainer after 2 years of being together. The blue eyes woman wouldn't want anyone else training but the shorter woman. The woman is still a slave driver even after 6 years. Some things never change. The taller woman watches as the paler woman sets her backpack in the holding cabinet before sitting down in front of her.
"Ready to go, coach?" Korra asked smirking.
"I am not even going to respond to that" Opal said through narrowed eyes.
"What did I say?" Korra asked snickering a little.
"I know what you're trying to do, Korra and it's not going to work. You may be the brawns but I am the brains of this operation" Opal said smirking.
"Cold. What happened to the sweet girl that I used to know?" Korra asked mock pouting.
"You have no one to blame for how I am now but yourself. I have been hanging out with you too much" Opal said shrugging.
"Riiight. It's my fault" Korra said rolling her eyes.
"You're right. It is your fault… least that's what Aunt Lin says" Opal said giggling.
"Wait what? When did she say that?" Korra asked frowning.
"Before we left the train station 2 weeks ago and everyday since we met"
"That's hurtful but what can I expect from Lin"
"What are you going to do when we get home?" Opal asked curious.
"Sleep since it's gonna like 4 in the morning by the time we get home. After a good night's sleep, spend as much time with my family as possible. What about you? Any plans?" Korra asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"Korra, get your mind out of the gutter. Bolin and I have only been dating for 3 years now and only got engaged 6 months ago. We don't plan to sleep together before getting married" Opal said flushed cheeks.
"I know, Opal. I was only teasing" Korra said smiling.
"I can't wait to see him. It's been too long" Opal said gushing.
"You two are so Velcro" Korra said laughing a little.
"Ain't the kettle calling the pot black. You're the same way with Asami"
"Yeah but we've been together longer. Plus we're married" Korra shot back.
"True, I see your point" Opal said turning back to her book.
Opal and Bolin have gotten very close over the years. When the green eyes trainer isn't training Korra, she's spending time with the green eyed man. It was obvious that Bolin liked Opal a lot and like spending time with her but it took him awhile to work up the nerve to ask her out. The green eyed trainer thought that it was cute and endearing how much the green eyed man stammered out his proposal of going out on a date with him and instantly agreed, much to his shock.
Everything after that is history with dating for 3 years and Bolin working up the nerve to propose to Opal. The green eyed trainer asked Asami to be her maid of honor with Bolin asking Korra to be his best man. The fighter agreed without a second thought but she was surprised that he was asking her instead of Mako. The fighter's relationship with the older man is slowly repairing itself. The detective could definitely hold a grudge for the longest of time and out right refused to talk to either the Alaskan or the heiress for 3 years.
Mako threw himself into his work and avoided them like the Black Plague. Korra was a little sadden that one of her oldest friends was doing this but decided to give him his space and not push him. It was the right decision because the older man came by the apartment with the intent of apologizing to the both of them and wanting to repairing their relationship if there was one to repair. The heiress was a little hesitant about this but willing to give Mako a chance if the fighter was.
Now, their relationship is repaired though the detective is still a little awkward about the whole thing. The Alaskan's thoughts traveled to her beautiful wife and how she couldn't wait to see her. To wrap her arms around the raven haired woman's waist and kiss her with everything she's got. Over the years, the couple have gotten closer if possible. Asami has graduated from fashion school with honor's and is now the proud owner of several fashion lines and stores all over the country.
The heiress' clothes are fashionable yet affordable so everyone could buy them without overcharging for quality. The raven haired woman is never without a sketchbook in her arm for when she is stuck with the inspiration to sketch a new design to create. In Asami's words, being a fashion mogul is never easy. I just feel bad that Alex is her guinea pig now and she hates it. Korra constantly gets phone calls and letters from her distraught 14 year old daughter saying that her Mother is using her as a mannequin for another fashion line.
The fighter just laughs and tells her to 'Suck it up and take it like a man'. The blue eyes woman knows that she's not helping but her daughter always takes it as a challenge to get through it in stride. The Alaskan makes it up to her with a MMA fighting lesson and a lot ice cream. It has been 6 years since the couple has adopted Alejandra into their family and the 14 year old has definitely mellowed for how she used to be.
Through she's still a smart-aleck much to her parents' dismay. Asami and Alex go back and forth with each other over how much of a boy the 14 year old acts causing Korra to be a intermediary. The two would get upset with each other and stop talking to each other for awhile. The fighter learned quickly that she couldn't get either one for them to apologize so she let them figure it out on their own. After a couple of hours of pouting they would come together and apologize at the same time.
Everything would return to normal. The 14 year old has grown because her curly hair is now half down her back but still tied back into a ponytail and 'hidden' under a Yankee ball cap. Now she's going through puberty. Ugh, that's gonna be fun… not. Now I have to explain boys and sex to her. I wonder if I can put that off for another 14 years and give Alex a chastity belt because no one is gonna get my daughter pregnant.
I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE SOMEONE'S GRANDMA! I'm gonna lose my baby to a boy with facial hair, wearing leather, tattoos, and a motorcycle. No, I refuse to let her grow up any further! I will not lose to Mother Nature! Alex will stay a child forever! Korra didn't want Alex to go through puberty. She wants the 14 year old to stay a kid for as long as possible. Least I don't have to wonder about puberty with Nathan for another 10 years from now.
My sweet, sweet baby boy. If only he could say that way forever. Nathan Sato is Alex's younger brother that her birth mother had almost year after she given up her daughter. The 14 year old tried to find her mother after what happened and it took a year to find her in a crack house on the east of the town, sprung out on drugs. The woman hasn't change a bit after everything that happened with Alex and has been using her body to buy drugs from several dealers to get her fixes.
What makes it worse is she got pregnant by one of them and doesn't know who the father is and doesn't care. When Nathan was born, he was prematurely with asthma and has severe damaged to his brain. It makes it very difficult for him to learning and he's so small. Alex and Nathan's mother was arrested for neglect and endangerment to children among other things. She's been in a woman's correction facility ever since and hopefully she's getting the help that she needs.
Nathan is going to be six soon and the little boy follows his big sister. He loves and admires Alex. The 6 year old has curly black hair, tan skin like his sister, but his eyes are a lilac color. Most parents would have to force their older kids to spend time with their siblings but not Alex. She takes him with her everywhere she goes even with her friends and I am proud of her. I would killed to have a sibling. I can't wait to see my babies.
Korra snaps out of her thoughts when the train stops moving to realize that they're back in town. The fighter grabs her duffel bag and hands Opal her backpack. The duo gets off of the train with the rest of the passengers before going their separate ways. The Alaskan hails a cab and tells him her address. It wasn't long before the cab reaches her place and the blue eyed woman pays him. Korra gets out of the cab and walks into the new house that brought awhile ago.
The pent house has 6 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, a kitchen with a stainless steel appliances, a indoor/outdoor pool, a design room for Asami, a gym for Korra and Alex to work out in, entertainment room and a game room with various game systems and games to play with. The fighter walks through the front door and locks it behind it her. She turns on the alarm system before making her way up the stairs. The Alaskan quietly opens a door to see her kids sleeping soundly. Alex's laying on her side with her little brother snuggling up to her with a Go Diego, Go! Doll under his arm.
"Night guys, I'll see you in the morning" Korra said sneaking out of the room.
Korra smiles at her kids before closing the door and walking towards her own room. The fighter opens the door to find her sleeping wife in bed with her raven hair covering her pillow and holding another pillow in her place. The Alaskan sets the duffel bag down by the door before removing her shoes and jacket. She stands in a wife beater and basketball shorts before crawling into the queen size bed. The darker woman removes the pillow from the paler woman's grip and wraps her arms around her. The taller woman truns in the shorter woman's arms and looks at her sleepily but surprised eyes.
"Korra? What are you doing here? It's 4 in the morning. Where did you get here?" Asami asked through a stifled yawn.
"I live here for one thing and I want to get some sleep with my wife if you don't mind. I got back about 10 minutes ago. Miss me, Angel?" Korra asked grinning.
"Do you have to be such a smartass? Of course, I missed you" Asami said hugging Korra tightly.
"I missed you too and the kids. As much as I love spending time with Opal, I missed being with you guys" Korra said hugging Asami.
"How long are you going to back this time?" Asami asked curious.
"6 months if I'm lucky. Alex begged me to come back because you were torturing her away" Korra said laughing.
"I wasn't torturing her. I needed her help with a teen fashion line, there's a difference" Asami said rolling her eyes.
"Not in her opinion but I've missed you, Asami" Korra said smiling.
"I've missed you too. I love you, Korra" Asami said kissing Korra on the lips.
"I love you too, Asami" Korra said kissing Asami back.
The End
