Chelse leaves the girls alone for a while so they can talk. She knew how hard this separation was going to be for them. It was only for two weeks, but it wouldn't be free of challenges. Chelse was worried about Mizu too. The water essence would finally have a body of her own. There was no telling how Mizu would feel when she'd have to give it up.
The Fire Essence also hoped that Asami and Mizu had come to an understanding with one another about Korra.
Inside Asami's office
Korra trembled slightly after Chelse explained that the water essence would be assuming Asami's identity while she was gone. It was vitally important that they keep things business as usual so people wouldn't become suspicious. That set the Avatar on edge.
The Fire Essence also told her that the only way to communicate with Asami would be through Mizu. Even though they were separated their telepathic connection would still be intact. Korra and Chelse would have up to date information on what Asami was experiencing. Korra didn't like the thought of that either. What if her wife got hurt or captured in there; what could she do about it?
Korra sits across from Asami. They gaze into one another's eyes. She wanted to burn the image of them into her mind, engraving the light jade green warmth of Asami's gaze onto her heart. She had to. It was the only way she'd be able to make it.
This would be the most difficult battle of Korra's life. The last year and a half of fighting was nothing compared to this. She wouldn't be the one fighting this time. And even the thought of standing by and doing nothing sent chills up her spine. Suddenly all she could think of were her failures as an Avatar.
The water tribe woman thinks back on her life and how naïve she was when she found out she was the Avatar. She thought she was going to change the world for the better. She was so immature back then having no idea what the world was really like. Her first enemy, Amon, gave her a huge wake up call. She was terrified when she saw him take people's bending away. That was something she heard only Avatar Aang could do. People started following Amon when he claimed that he wanted equality for everyone. The only problem with that was that he was willing to destroy people in order to get it. Then he took her bending away. He took away her ability to be the Avatar. Korra thought her life was over after that, but somehow some way she continued living.
Unalaq showed up less than a month after she defeated Amon and fooled her into opening the spirit portals, betraying Tenzin, and freeing Vaatu. The world was thrown into darkness for 24 hours. She almost gave up then too.
Things just kept getting worse after Vaatu destroyed her connection to her past lives. Sure the Air Nation had returned, but she ended up opening the door for Zaheer and because of him Kuvira got the chance to take over. Yet again Korra remembers being practically powerless and unable to do anything but get her butt whooped.
And now the mastermind behind the most devastating defeat of Korra's life was about to take Asami away from her…again. She was supposed to be the Avatar, the one person who could bring balance to the world but so far all she's done was mess it up. She begins to think that maybe the Red Lotus was right, maybe the world didn't need an Avatar anymore.
Asami takes her partner's hand as she gazes into worried blue orbs. She feels a barrage of emotions coming from her wife but is unsure of what to say to soothe her. She knew Korra was just as scared as she was about what their future held. What if these were their last moments together?
The young Avatar sighs then lowers her eyes. "I'm the one who should be going in there, not you."
Asami squeezes her partner's hand. "Baby, I can't do this without you. We're a team right?" She says softly feeling her lover's confidence dropping like an anvil.
Korra looks up into her eyes knowing her wife was just trying to placate her, but it didn't make her feel any better. "Right." She says softly.
Mizu takes a deep heavy breath within Asami. The water essence's sensitivity to emotions was far more refined than her host's. She sensed what Korra was feeling much more intensely than Asami did. She'd been silent for almost two weeks now; she knew it was because she had almost completely synced with her host. But she couldn't keep quiet any longer, not if she was going to be dealing with Korra for the next two weeks. The watery woman speaks up within the raven-haired beauty. "Asami, let me talk with her."
Asami is silent for a moment contemplating Mizu's request. They were going to need to speak with the water essence eventually, but now didn't seem like the right time. Asami could sense what her wife was going through. The young Avatar felt responsible for what was happening. "Korra, this isn't your fault. It's, it's just life."
The blue-eyed beauty shakes her head. "And I can't do anything about it, just like always right?" She says looking up at her partner.
Asami exhales roughly. Mizu speaks up within her again. "Asami, let me talk to her. I'll keep our line open so you can hear us alright."
The heiress swallows softly. "Fine." She says within herself then she releases her wife's hand. "Korra, Mizu wants to speak with you, is that okay?"
The young Avatar averts her eyes and nods. She wanted to speak with Mizu too. There was so much they needed to clear up before Asami left. Mizu takes a deep breath as Asami's eyes turn blue. Korra lowers her eyes. "Hey."
"Hey." The water essence says not taking her eyes off the Avatar.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Korra asks.
"You can't help Asami or those people in Tsuchi's lair the way you are now." Mizu says.
"You don't know what you're talking about. I can't do anything to help anyone. That's the problem." Korra says looking up at her.
The watery titan sighs. "You're letting your fear of failure cloud your judgment. It's like you're fighting your old enemies all over again. If you keep carrying the pain they caused around with you, you'll never be able to face what's ahead."
Korra's eyes widen, it was like the water essence had read her mind. That was exactly what she was thinking. "You say that like it's easy. How am I supposed to get past it?"
Mizu takes in a breath. "By learning from your enemies."
Korra furrows her brow. "What! What could I possibly learn from them other than how to destroy people's lives?"
The Water Essence sighs then holds out her hand and proceeds to point out what Korra's enemies wanted on her fingers. "I've seen your battles through Asami's and Seika's eyes. The man called Amon wanted equality, Unalaq wanted to bring the spirits back, Zaheer wanted freedom, Kuvira wanted safety and stability and Tsuchi…he wanted…to be acknowledged, to understand what love was."
The young Avatar lowers her head. "I guess."
Mizu takes a deep breath. "They were all out of balance and took their ideologies too far."
Korra sits back in her chair. "But they keep haunting me."
Mizu takes a sympathetic breath, as does Asami within her. "Because you haven't faced them. You haven't faced your real fears. What are you afraid of?"
A saddened Korra lowers her eyes and swallows softly. She hadn't realized until this moment that as brave as she was, she was always scared too. But what was she scared of? "I'm…afraid to lose."
"Why?" Mizu asks.
Korra can't look at her. This was so strange, the water tribe woman felt like she was talking to her mentor, like she couldn't help sharing her feelings. She also couldn't fight the words that moved past her lips. "Because I'll be alone." The young Avatar furrows her brow having never confessed that to anyone before. She looks up at Mizu. "How do I get past that?"
The water essence can't help her movements, feeling Asami moving within her. She cups Korra's cheek. "By understanding that you're not the only one fighting. You're not alone Korra. You've never been alone and you never will be." Mizu swallows softly as Korra lowers her eyes. The caramel beauty remembered when Katara first told her that. "I can help you see that, if you'll allow it." The Avatar nods. Mizu takes a deep breath. "Okay give me your hands. Close your eyes, clear your mind, and…try not to freak out."
Korra furrows her brow. "Ooookay." Then she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.
Mizu smiles quietly. "Focus your energy on the water in your body, the water in the air, the water of the world; feel it moving through you." The Water Essence begins to glow with a brilliant sky blue light.
The young Avatar squeezes Mizu's hands as she has flashbacks of Asami's death on the solstice, but she also sees the other Avatars and Katara there by her side. The images shift to Zaheer sucking the air from her lungs, then the pain of that metallic poison coursing through her veins. She notices Suyin, her father, Asami and all of their friends, and the airbenders surrounding her. Korra's visions change again. She cries as she watches Raava being ripped away from her and yet again all of her friends are there by her side. She wasn't even alone when Amon took her bending away. Mako was there with her.
The water tribe woman pants and groans as the pain of her memories increase. "Uuhh…urghh…." It felt like the air was being forced out of her lungs by Zaheer's wind cyclone again.
"Let it play out." Mizu says softly.
"I…I can't!" Korra cries.
Mizu glows even brighter trying to sooth Korra's fears. "You can. Your friends are there with you, and so am I. Accept what happened to you. Don't fear what might have been."
The Avatar feels like she's falling. "I have no control!" She shouts trying to pull away from Mizu.
The water essence is connected to Korra now and can see the images of those battles from the Avatar's point of view. She gently holds Korra's hands a little tighter. "If you're falling we'll catch you. You're not alone. Those battles are over now. Release the fear." Mizu says as she tenderly pulls Korra into her consciousness.
The water tribe woman grits her teeth going into the Avatar state. She pushes through the violent emotional waters of her past. Korra releases a relieving breath feeling like she's floating in water. She opens her eyes and is surprised to find herself in the room of blue light where she meditates and meets the other Avatars.

She sees her wife standing a few feet away from her. "Asami?"
The young CEO turns around. "Korra? How did you get in here?" She says pulling her wife into a hug.
The Avatar looks over her partner's shoulder and sees Mizu. "She…brought me here. She helped me." Asami turns around seeing the watery titan walking toward them.
"How are you feeling?" Mizu asks.
Korra nods. "I'm, I'm better…thanks to you." Blue eyes meet blue. Asami clears her throat. Mizu lowers her eyes. Korra averts hers and takes an apprehensive breath.
Asami stares at the two of them then lowers her eyes. "Well, since we're all here; I guess we should talk." Mizu takes a deep breath and Korra nods. Asami swallows nervously. There was something very important she needed to discuss with them, but she wasn't sure how to say it.
The water essence speaks up feeling the full scope of both Asami and Korra's emotions in the infinite blue space of her consciousness. She rolls her eyes. "Korra, do you plan on having sex with me while Asami is gone?"
The now wide-eyed Avatar is speechless. "What! N-n-no! I-I wouldn't….I mean I …."
"Good, I have no intention of being with you either." Mizu says quickly as she turns to Asami. "Is that what you wanted to know?"
The young CEO's mouth is agape as a deep blush fills her cheeks not expecting Mizu to be so forward. "Uhhmm, not exactly." She says lowering her eyes. That wasn't what she was expecting. She and Mizu were just a few steps from being completely synced up. Asami could water and earthbend now, there was no denying how much they'd changed. The raven-haired beauty felt connected to Mizu. Their oneness was becoming evident. Asami began considering speaking to her wife about what that oneness would mean for their relationship but didn't feel that the timing was right. "I trust you Mizu." Asami says. Then she turns to her partner taking the Avatar's hand. "And I trust you too Korra."
Korra gulps as Mizu furrows her brow. Asami takes a deep breath. She didn't know what was going to happen once she entered Koh's lair, but she did know that she wanted her wife to be taken care of if anything went wrong in there. She'd been thinking about that for the last few weeks. "I…think you two should try and get to know each other while I'm gone."
"What?" Both Korra and Mizu say in unison. They look at one another then refocus their gazes on Asami.
The green-eyed woman lowers her eyes. "None of us know what's going on in there. I'm just saying that if anything goes wrong…."
"No." Korra and Mizu say at the same time again. Their eyes lock for a moment then the water essence looks away.
Korra shakes her head. "Asami, you're coming back."
"Exactly." The water essence says. "You not returning is not an option. Our connection is the only thing keeping Tsuchi unconscious." Mizu lowers her eyes. "You and I are almost merged. I… can't suppress him without your part of the consciousness we share."
Asami takes in a long heavy breath. "I'm just trying to be realistic. But regardless of what happens, I still want you two to get to know one another. I'm not saying I want you to be intimate, alright. It's just that if Mizu and I are going to completely merge I want my wife to know the woman she married." She looks at Mizu. "All of me."
Korra lowers her eyes and sighs. Then she finds her partner's eyes. "If anything happens I'm coming in there after you."
Mizu speaks up. "You can't do that. Why do you think we're even going through all this? The world needs its Avatar now more than ever." Concerned sky blue eyes meet determined aqua blue orbs.
"I'm not gonna lose her." Korra says then she turns to look at her wife. "I'm not gonna let him take you away from me again Asami."
The pale skinned beauty shakes her head then cups her wife's cheek. "Baby you can't come after me alright. Mizu's right, you have a duty to the world."
"Asami, no. This isn't worth…" The young Avatar says.
The young CEO smiles. "Come on, Korra, all those people aren't worth all this? You don't believe that. I knew when I first decided to be with you that the world would always come first. It's the only reason I'm going through with this. You're not alone remember." She takes a deep breath then grabs Korra and Mizu's hands putting them together. Asami looks down at their hands. "Just try okay."
Korra yanks her hand back then looks into her wife's eyes. "You don't think you're coming back."
Asami lowers her eyes. "Korra, I don't know what's going to happen alright." She raises her eyes and is greeted by an angry glare. She and Korra stare at one another for a full minute.
Korra clenches her jaw then turns to Mizu. She grabs the water essence by the nape of her neck and pulls her into a rough kiss. The startled water essence tries to push her away. Korra takes a firm hold of Mizu's arms then she turns to her partner. "Is this what you want?" Asami lowers her eyes. "You want me to forget about you and try to love someone who looks like you? It'll be easy for me, I mean she's gonna be disguised as you right?" She tries to kiss Mizu again.
Mizu pulls back and slaps Korra hard across the face. "What's wrong with you? Do you know her at all? Can't you see she's hurting too?"
The distraught Avatar walks up to her wife. Asami still can't look her in the eye. The green eyed woman's shoulders rise and fall as tears streak down her cheeks. "I don't want this for us Korra. I wanna come back to you. But whether I come back or not, Mizu will still be here. Mizu and I…are still merging. I just...(she shakes her head as more tears fall) I just want you to be able to accept me as I am."
Korra gulps knowing she'd acted like a total jerk. She takes her wife into her arms shedding a few tears of her own. "I'm sorry. I mean it. Just come back to me…please. Please, just come back. I love you Asami. I'll always accept you no matter what."
Mizu watches them, knowing that Korra would never be able to love her the way she loved Asami. She closes her eyes then gently pushes them from her consciousness.
The couple opens their eyes realizing that they were back in Asami's office. Asami holds her hand to her chest. "Mizu, are you alright?" She asks within her mind. The water essence is silent for a moment. "Mizu?"
Korra swallows hard seeing the pained expression on her lover's face. "Mizu, can I talk to you please? I'm sorry okay. I shouldn't have…" Korra's eyes widen seeing grey blue tear welled orbs staring back at her. "I'm, I'm sorry for what I did in there. I didn't…"
Mizu lowers her eyes. "You should be with your wife before she leaves."
The young Avatar gulps then takes a restrained breath. She cups Mizu's cheek and brings their lips together softly. "I'm sorry."
Jade green eyes are fixed on Korra as she pulls back. The water tribe woman furrows her brow. Asami lowers her eyes. "She says thank you." Even though Korra was technically giving her what she asked for, Asami still felt uneasy about it.
Korra sighs apprehensively. "Was…was that wrong?" She asks nervously.
Asami shakes her head. "No, its fine. Let's go home okay." For all she knew these precious few hours together could be their last. The pale skinned beauty didn't want to spend them fighting with her wife.
Back at home they lie in one another's arms uncertain about what their future held.
But they weren't the only ones having relationship problems that day.
Four Elements Hotel
Ty La grabs Azula's wrist as she tries to leave the room. "Zu-Zu wait, please."
The Fire Nation princess yanks her arm away. "I told you to stop calling me that."
The young publicist wipes a tear from her eye. "I, I just don't understand. I thought we had something together. Why do you still need to see him?" She asks speaking of Mako. Azula had gone to visit him at the hospital a few times over the last month and it got on Ty La's nerves. She was the only one allowed to fawn over Azula.
"Because I'm attracted to him. It feels different with him than it does with you." The amber-eyed princess says plainly.
Ty La takes in a hard breath through her nose. "Has this last month meant nothing to you? You and I…we have something special. We're meant to be together. Can't you see that? Mako, doesn't know anything about you. He probably doesn't even care."
Azula lowers her eyes. "You're jealous."
The young publicist rolls her eyes. "Of course I am Azula. I, I…I love you."
"I care about you Ty La, but I don't know what love is for me yet. But what you've said about Mako is correct. It's also what makes things different with him."
"What?" Ty La asks furrowing her brow.
"He doesn't know me but he wants to." She looks up into her friend's eyes. "You think you know everything about me and because of that you don't want to know about the person I am now. I can feel the difference."
The twenty-four year old woman opens her mouth to speak. "Azula I…
The amber-eyed woman turns toward the door. "I haven't made up my mind about what feels best for me, but I will. Stay here. I'll be back in the morning."
Ty La watches the door close feeling like the door to her heart was closing right along with it. Maybe Azula was right, maybe she didn't know her as well as she thought she did.
She picks up the phone and calls her grandmother for some advice. If anyone knew how to deal with an indecisive Azula it was her best friend Ty Lee.
Little Water Tribe
Kya stands between Lin and the front door of their home. She'd spent the last few weeks nursing her lover back to health and now her Lin was ready to get back to work.
The fully armored police chief rolls her eyes. "Kya, move."
"No Lin, you're not ready yet. You need more time to heal."
The metalbender smirks then puts her hands on her girlfriend's waist. She gives her a sweet peck on the lips. Lin knew how much Kya enjoyed having her there so it made sense that she wanted her stay a little longer. "Baby, come on, don't be like this. I'll admit this has been fun for me too, but we've got to get back to the real world here."
The beautiful waterbender furrows her brow as she pushes away from her. "Lin, I'm not being sentimental. Your injuries are serious." Kya says with firm resolution in her eyes.
"Kya, I feel fine, now step aside." She says giving her girlfriend a gentle nudge.
The older woman stands firm. "I said no. Look, I didn't want to say anything to you until I was sure, but there is some kind of foreign energy in your body. I haven't been able to identify it, but I know that if you do too much there's a chance it could spread. I don't know if I can remove it without causing permanent damage."
Lin inhales sharply through her nose pushing past her partner.
Kya grabs Lin's arm. "Didn't you hear what I said?"
The green-eyed woman yanks her arm away locking eyes with her girlfriend. "I have a job to do."
Kya releases her arm. "Fine." Lin takes a few steps out the door then a wall of ice juts up from the ground in front of her. The police chief lowers her head and takes a deep breath. "You need proof I'll give it to you."
The irritated police chief releases a heavy sigh then looks up into the sky. "Don't do this Kya."
The waterbender liquefies the wall then takes a few paces ahead of her partner. "I'm not doing anything, you are." Green eyes meet blue. "If you won't believe me, then I'll show you. Don't hold back." Kya was serious and Lin knew it. Five medium sized boulders rise from the ground.
The earthbender attacks first. "I know what's best for me Kya! Stop trying to fix me!"
Kya easily slices through the stone projectiles. "I'm not trying to fix you. If you weren't so stubborn and pigheaded we wouldn't have to do this." She says launching ice spikes at her girlfriend.
"I'm not going to change Kya! Why haven't you figured that out? If you don't like it why are you still here?" The earthbender yells stomping her foot against the ground to lift the sidewalk under Kya's feet.
"I'm here because I love you." Kya says seeing a shift in her girlfriend's bending moves. Lin's eyes widen as pain begins shooting through her body. Her knees buckle. Kya is under her partner in two seconds flat holding her up. "I've got you baby, hold on. Just hold on." The waterbending healer says as she covers her hand in water then applies it to Lin's back.
Green eyes lower to the ground in shame. She felt fine a few minutes ago. What just happened? Lin thinks to herself.
Kya inhales roughly not giving her girlfriend any eye contact. "Are you still leaving?"
The injured metalbender remains silent.
"I'll call Korra. I think she might be able to shed some light on this." Kya says gently helping Lin back into the house. Her girlfriend replies with a small nod.
Sato Mansion
Korra and Asami were making up for lost time, having as much sex as humanly possible. The Avatar collapses in her wife's arms. She swallows and takes in a deep breath snuggling into her partner's bosom. They hadn't really spoken since they got home. Their lovemaking spoke volumes, but there was still something Korra wasn't clear on.
She felt super guilty seeing Asami's reaction when she tried to apologize to Mizu earlier. Truthfully, she only kissed her because she thought it was what her wife wanted. Korra also thought it was the least she could do for disrespecting Mizu after the woman had helped her. "Do you want me to be with her?"
Asami takes in a long deep breath staring up at the ceiling not really wanting to answer the question. "She and I are merging into one person, I don't know what that's going to be like."
Korra is silent for a moment before she moves off of her partner and lies beside her. "That's not what I asked you." Asami averts her eyes. Korra watches her intently for a moment. "Why are you pushing us together if it's not what you want?"
Asami turns over on her side facing away from Korra. "Because I don't know what I want. I don't know what the right thing to do is. She's me, so how can I ask her to stay away from you?" She takes a deep fearful breath. "And what if I don't come back?"
Korra crawls over her partner making her giggle. "I don't know what's right and I don't know what's wrong either, but I know you're coming back. Alright."
Asami nods. "Okay, but what about you? This isn't just my decision to make. What do you wanna do Korra? Mizu's going to be me while I'm gone. Will you be alright with that?"
A warm caramel hand cups a pale cream cheek. "There is only one you alright. And as far as Mizu, I'm fine getting to know her, but I don't plan on doing anything else. You're my wife." Korra lowers her eyes. "And…I'm sorry…about earlier, when I kissed her. I thought it was what you would have wanted me to do after what happened in the meditation."
The heiress leans into her partner's lips. "I love you Korra Sato."
"I love you too."
The phone rings. Asami reaches over her partner and picks it up. "Miss Sato, it's Chelse. There was an urgent call for Korra here at the office. She needs to head to Little Water Tribe to meet Kya. Lin Beifong is hurt."
Little Water Tribe
Kya holds her girlfriend's hand as she winces in pain. "Just hold on baby, Korra should be here soon."
Lin got much worse after their fight, she could barely move. There is a loud knock on the front door downstairs. Kya kisses Lin's hand. "I'll be right back okay."
"K-ya….g-g-go." Lin pants out, she felt like her insides were being pulled apart.
Korra and Asami immediately head upstairs. The young CEO feels sick to her stomach as soon as she walks into the room; she knew exactly what it meant. She takes in a hard breath. Korra furrows her brow. "Asami what is it?"
She whispers into Korra's ear. "Tsuchi's energy is running all through her body."
The young Avatar nods. "Kya, can you step outside please, we can take it from here."
The mature waterbender shakes her head. "No, I need to know what's inside of her."
Korra walks over to Kya and places her hands on her shoulders. "It's venom from the bugs we fought. Removing it is going to hurt her more than anything she's ever been through." Korra shakes her head in sorrow remembering Asami's training. "She might not survive. You don't wanna see that, trust me."
"I'll be fine Korra. I'm no stranger to death. I'm not gonna leave her." Kya says quickly. Korra nods in understanding.
Asami places her hand on Lin's forehead. The barely conscious police chief looks up seeing Asami's eye color flickering from blue to green. "This is going to hurt, but I'll try to numb your pain as much as I can." Asami says. Lin nods and closes her eyes unable to speak. Asami signals Korra to restrain the police chief.
The Avatar covers Lin's body with spirit water. Asami taps into the earth essence's energy in Lin's body. The young CEO takes a deep breath and begins moving her hands above the earthbender's stomach.
Lin's entire body starts to shake violently. Kya's stomach tightens knowing that there was nothing she could do to help. "I'm here Lin. I'm not going anywhere baby. I'm right here, just stay with me okay." She says with tears in her eyes.
Asami pools all of Tsuchi's venom into Lin's stomach, then she signals Korra to begin extracting it.
"Guuuaaahhh!" The metalbender shouts squeezing her fists so tight that they began bleeding.
Korra breathes out through puckered lips as the spirit water continues to fill with dark energy. Asami assists in the effort heightening the power of the spirit water. Lin's body starts to settle as the last of the dark venom is removed.
Asami places her hand within the now black water bubble. Her eyes turn dark green as the venom is absorbed into her hand.
Korra furrows her brow allowing the spirit water to heal Lin's reopened wounds. "Baby what are you doing; won't that hurt you?"
Mizu speaks ups. "She's fine. We're purifying the essence."
"Oh…okay." The water tribe woman says. "Thanks…for your help."
"You're welcome." Mizu says before her eyes shift to a light jade green again.
Asami looks down at a now unconscious Lin Beifong. "She's gonna be okay Kya." The relieved CEO says as she wipes a tear from her eye. Seeing the way Kya supported Lin reminded her of how hard her impending separation from Korra was going to be.
The beautiful waterbender takes her girlfriend's hand. "Thanks guys."
Korra and Asami watch Kya with Lin for a while. Korra whispers in her partner's ear. "Earth and water work pretty well together huh." Asami nods.
The girls head off to Asami's office to meet Chelse. Asami holds her wife's hand as they drive down the street. She can't help thinking about Koh. He seemed like he hated the water essence. The two elements were meant to support one another like Lin and Kya, what could have warped his mind so much that he'd want to hurt his counterpart by keeping her away from what she loved.
The water tribe woman can see that her partner is deep in thought. She squeezed her hand a little tighter. "We work well together too."
Asami looks over at her. "Yeah we do. We're gonna get through this."
X
A few hours later….
Future Industries
The fire essence gives them both a final run down of what was going to happen over the next two weeks in an effort to calm the couple down.
Asami nods as she holds the soul potion in one hand and her wife's hand in the other. "Uh huh." She says nervously not really hearing anything her assistant was telling them.
The Avatar looks into her eyes. "Come back to me okay."
The young CEO nods. "Okay." She gulps then takes one last look at her assistant.
Chelse smiles softly. "You're gonna be fine. The potion will transport you to the outskirts of Tsuchi's lair. It's a safe zone. It'll take you a while to get used to your spiritual body, so just stay there until you feel ready to move okay." Asami nods. "Remember your telepathic connection to Mizu. She'll relay your messages to us. With any luck you'll be back by the weekend."
The raven-haired woman kisses her partner one last time.
"See you soon." Korra says holding Asami's hand a little tighter. Her wife nods with tears in her eyes.
Mizu speaks up within her. "Asami, just relax okay. This won't hurt at all. Stay focused, we need our connection to be clear before you drink that."
"Okay." Asami takes in a few deep breaths with her eyes closed then she downs the potion.
