"…So today will mark the grand opening of the Sato Defense Studio." Asami energetic announced. Many people were there, surprising even her. A lot of people were extremely supportive of these non-bending and bending uniting activities, but not everybody. As the days go by, Asami gets more threats in the mail. While it didn't worry her, she did grow more concern, she always made sure that Korra would be with her at every speech. There's been no real threat as of late, but it never hurt to be cautious. She has been giving many public addresses on the state of the company and her projects the last few weeks, all with no incidents.

"I'm also very pleased to announce that the first fifty of you will receive a week free of training. If you're a bender, however, you'll have to wait till we open up the bending division, which will be in a month." A thunderous applause and cheers were heard, but something was odd about it. Asami couldn't put her finger on it, but something was amiss. Keeping her cheery smile she looked at Korra, who was looking out in the audience with a very stern face, her eyes and head not moving. She must feel it too, she thought. She returned to face the crowd, keeping her warm smile and remained calm.

She continued her speech as normal, even with the slight bizarre movements her eye slightly catches. She was nearing the end of her speech when the attack came. A masked and hatted man jumped from the front of the crowd. She instinctively ducked but the man readjusted his attack arc. That's when she got a good look at him. He was wearing an Equalist style glove, but it looked more barbaric, there were a few scorch marks and blood stains on it. He extended his arm to grab hold of her but Korra already kicked him in the side. His momentum fully changed and dropped to the side. He got up and cursed the two girls aloud before running away. Korra took a step and lit her arms up but Asami grabbed her arm.

"Don't." Asami said quietly so only Korra could hear her. "Not now, we have to be show that non- bending defense works. That kick you did helped us tremendously." Korra quickly turned to face the audience, there were no movements. Asami hugged her from behind. "Thank you."
