One hour later….

Korra sits with her arms resting on her thighs anxiously bobbing her knee over and over again. She keeps a vigilant watch on her partner waiting for any sign that the transfer had been successful. "Asami?" She says raising her eyebrows thinking she saw a change in her wife's expression.

Chelse sighs looking up from some paperwork. "Korra, relax. It's going to take her a while to get used to not being in a physical body. You remember what your first time in the spirit world was like right."

The irritated Avatar practically growls at Chelse. "If you'd given me that map I could have at least met her over there."

The executive assistant looks up from her desk seeing Korra glaring at her. She gets up from her seat goes to the back wall and opens a safe that was hidden behind a painting. She tosses the map to Korra. "Here, have Raava memorize it, then give it back to me."

The blue-eyed tribeswomen furrows her brow. Korra immediately unrolls the map and looks it over. "I thought Katara told you not to give it to me."

"Do you always do what your parents tell you to do? She never said you couldn't look it at. Besides, I know you would have found it eventually." Chelse says with a small smirk. "You can't go into his lair Korra, but maybe if Miss Sato knows that you're close, it'll help her get through whatever happens in there."

Korra gets up and sits next to her partner on the couch. She watches the fire essence for a moment grateful for the woman's change of heart. She felt better knowing she could support her wife in some small way at least. "Thanks for this." Korra says holding up the map. "Hey Miss Chelse, did you mean all that stuff you said about Katara?"

Chelse nods then sits back down at her desk. "You met her right. You of all people should have felt how different she is."

Forgetful Valley (Village of Hira'a, Fire Nation Territory)

A huge pitch black void floats above one of the many lakes in the area. Nothing but silence can be heard.

From within the void five figures can be seen floating within the space, shining like bright stars.

One of the bright lights speaks up. "Wife of the Avatar, how is it that you came to be here among us?"

"The gift you gave me for helping your guardian changed me. Ever since I died I've been able to see through your eyes and feel through your heart that's how I found this place." Katara says.

The other three Cosmic Mothers speak in unison. "We will not alter what has been done. Leave us."

Katara smiles to herself. "I didn't come here so you could change me back. It's your fault that I'm in this position. I believe some reparation is in order."

The Mothers speak in unison. "We will hear your request."

"I'd like to speak with you about the rules of reincarnation you set on your children, specifically Mizu and Tsuchi." Katara says.

Future Industries Tower

Korra sits back against the couch. "Well, she's younger now and that was a little confusing at first. I mean I expected to see her, but I thought she'd be old like Iroh is."

Chelse crosses her arms. "That's it? That's all you noticed about her?"

The water tribe woman scratches the back of her head. "Well yeah, other than that she was my same old Gran Gran. She even pulled on Asami's ears like she used to do to me as a kid."

The fire essence furrows her brow. "Really?" Korra nods. Chelse averts her eyes now deep in thought. The Katara she encountered was distant and uncaring the way the Cosmic Mothers are. Every time she'd met the waterbender, the woman gave her orders then left without another word. "Hmm, maybe it's just me she has a problem with then."

Korra checks on her wife again. "So, what's Mizu like? You said you've known her from the beginning, right."

Chelse looks up at her and smiles softly. "She's kind of a bitch, but she's sweet too."

"What's a bitch?" Korra asks genuinely.

The fire essence laughs. "Don't worry about it. Mizu is, hmm? She's a really good person. She loves anything new, new people, new places, new experiences, all of it. She's fun, playful, mischievous…and kind, too kind actually. I can't even tell you how many times she almost got hurt trying to help people whenever she used to cross over. I completely understand why Tsuchi was so obsessed with her. She's inspiring and …she was my best friend."

Korra looks up at her. "Was?"

The executive assistant lowers her eyes. "When I separated her from Asami, I destroyed her chance to be with you. She hasn't said it, but I know she hates me because of it. First Tsuchi took her from Kuruk… then I took her from you." She says meeting Korra's eyes.

The young Avatar takes a deep breath as she turns to her wife. It was clear what the fire essence wanted. Korra had no idea what she was gonna do when Mizu woke up. Asami still hadn't answered her question on what she should or shouldn't do with the water essence. For now she decides to skirt the issue. "So is this gonna be like a telephone type of thing? Will Asami be able to talk to me? Will I hear her voice?"

Chelse gets up from her chair walks over to the couch then sits on the table in front of Korra. "Mizu will be able to tell you what Asami is telling her through their telepathic link. Don't ignore her Korra. Mizu cares about you as much as Asami does and I know you care about her too."

"Look, Asami told me to get to know her and that's what I'll do, but she's not my wife." Korra averts her eyes. "Not yet anyway. Asami said that they haven't merged all the way, so until that happens she's Koh's wife, not mine."

Chelse gets up from the table and looks down into Korra's eyes. "If you hurt her, I'll never forgive you."

Spirit World

Outskirts of Tsuchi's Lair

Asami finally opens her eyes and takes a deep breath. She looks around and sees that she's in a grove surrounded by bamboo. There is also a very ancient looking archway above her. She hears snoring and turns to see a large black and white bear sleeping behind her. She gulps then quietly steps out through the bamboo and releases a relieved breath feeling like she already escaped her first trial.

Her spirit body felt strange, like a heavy feather. It had an odd glow to it as well. She needed to take her new body for a spin so she heads out to explore the area. Chelse said this was a safe zone, so she should be fine.

This wasn't Koh's swamp. Asami was sure of it because the waters in this place were still clear….well clear for a swamp anyway. She walks a little further out and hears someone chanting.

"Ooooommmmm, Oooommmmmm, Ooommm."

She sees some type of animal person with a monk's robe on. The man kind of looked like a monkey. "Hello, sir. I'm sorry to disturb you, but would you happen to know what this place is?" She asks.

"Go…Away." The monkey man says then he closes his eyes and begins to chant again. Asami sits down on the rock and waits for him to finish. He opens one of his eyes. "You're still here."

"Oh, uh yeah, I just need to know where…"

"Oooommmm, OOOOOOMMMMM!" He begins chanting louder.

Asami rolls her eyes and steps down from the small mound. "Fine, I'll figure it out myself."

Then a small baby blue light floats between them. The monkey man speaks up. "Look, look, look, perhaps that thing can help you, go chase it."

The irritated woman crosses her arms. "For someone trying to find enlightenment, you're kind of a jerk." Asami says as she walks away from the mound.

She checks her surroundings again and decides getting to higher ground would give her a better view of the place. The small blue light floats back over to her as she begins to climb a tree. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Asami looks around. "Who said that?"

"I did." The little light says now floating in front of her.

"Aaaannnd, you are….?" She asks.

"You mean you don't recognize one of the most important members of Team Avatar." The light says.

The raven-haired woman furrows her brow. "Umm, are you a friend of Raava's or something?"

"What?" The light ball asks sounding very annoyed. The light floats over the water and sees its reflection. "Oh sorry about that." The light says as it begins to materialize as a handsome 30 year old man with a shaved head and a mohawk ponytail. "Do you recognize me now?"

Asami raises her eyebrows in surprise. "Councilman Sokka?" She says remembering the picture of the first United Republic Council members in her father's old office.

He stretches out his hand to her. "Meat, sarcasm, and boomerang guy at your service. Nice to meet you. You know we non-benders have to stick together. Team Avatar never really appreciates all we bring to the table do they? You're the idea person right?"

The young CEO smiles apprehensively. "Uhh yeah, but… I'm actually a firebender now."

Sokka furrows his brow. "Huh, what do you mean?"

"My wife, Avatar Korra, energybent me during our last battle and it turns out that I'm a firebender."

Sokka's jaw drops then he smacks himself in the forehead. "Why didn't I think of that? Aang never told me energybending works in reverse! I can't believe he held out on me. I would have been an awesome bender."

Asami smirks nervously. "May I ask why you're here?"

"Oh Katara told me to keep a look out for you." He says.

Asami freezes seeing the large black and white bear walking up behind Sokka. "Uhh, we should leave, calmly and slowly." She says pointing over his shoulder.

The water tribe warrior turns around. "Oh don't worry, this is an old friend of mine. His name is Hei-Bai. This amazing spirit tried to kidnap me once, but Aang gave him an acorn and we've been friends ever since. He can guide you into Koh's lair when you're ready." He pats the bear on the head. "Or you can let me show you around."

"Oh a tour would be nice actually, but just give me a minute. I need to contact my friends and let them know that I made it."

Future Industries

Asami's Office

Mizu takes in a long deep breath and opens her eyes to see Korra sitting in front her looking intently at her face. The water essence averts her eyes. "Asami said that she made it and that there's someone named Sokka there with her."

Korra releases a relieved breath. "Great. Wow, that's Katara's brother. Can she tell him hi and tell her that I miss her?"

Mizu takes an apprehensive breath as she gives Asami the message. "She says she misses you and…she loves you."

"I love you too." Korra says quickly with a smile.

Mizu gulps. "Would you mind giving me some space please?"

Korra furrows her brow. "Huh, ask her why she wants space when we're already like a world away from each other."

"I…want space Korra." Mizu says finally giving her some eye contact.

"Oh, right, sorry." The young Avatar says as she gets up from the table.

Chelse is sitting next to her on the couch. "How are you feeling?"

Mizu sighs. "I'm not sure." She says lifting her hand in front of her face then wiggling her fingers. Mizu smiles to herself then feels a slight chill against her skin and giggles. She felt completely different now that Asami was in the spirit world. Mizu was alive with curiosity. This was the first time she'd have a human body as an essence.

The fire essence smiles then pats her on the knee. "Take your time okay. Korra let's give her some privacy."

"Wait, what about Asami?" The Avatar asks sounding almost frantic.

Chelse puts her hand on Korra's shoulder. "She's fine. If anything happens, Mizu will let us know. Right?" The assistant says as she looks back at Mizu.

The water essence nods with a soft smile on her face. Being alone in her body was exciting. She had no idea it would feel like this. She gets up and goes into the bathroom to look in the mirror. She gently caresses her cheek and her lips enjoying the soft feel of them. These sensations were incredible. Her stomach suddenly growls. She looks down at it then smiles and makes a bee line for the office door. It flies open with a loud bang against the wall. "I'm hungry!" She shouts with a large excited smile on her face.

The fire essence smiles then turns to the Avatar. "Korra would you mind taking her to get something to eat?"

The water tribe woman half smiles apprehensively. "S-sure."

Mizu runs to the elevator. Chelse stops her. "Mizu, remember you're Asami when you're out in public, change your eyes."

"Oh right, sorry." The watery titan says changing her eye color to a light green jade. Then she turns to Korra. "How is it?"

The young Avatar looks at her for a moment then lowers her eyes. "It's fine. Let's go."

Mizu gasps excitedly. "Can I drive? Asami drives you right? I know how she does it. I've been anxious to try it."

Korra nervously looks at Chelse. "Uhhh…"

The fire essence nods. "Sure, you'll be fine. Ask Asami to help you. I'll make a reservation at Kwong's."

Down in the parking garage Mizu eagerly claps her hands in the driver's seat.

Korra gulps not expecting such a drastic change in the water essence's attitude and behavior. The woman was like a little kid. "Aaaaaare, you alright?"

Mizu starts the car and puts it into gear. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"You're….different." Korra says with uneasiness in her voice.

"I've never had a human body before Korra." Mizu says as she speeds from the parking garage out onto the street. Korra has a death grip on her seat.

"SLOW...DOWN!" The Avatar shouts.

Mizu cowers in her seat like a little child. "Sorry."

The confused water tribe woman furrows her brow then takes a deep breath. "And what do you mean you haven't had a human body? You were Ummi weren't you? She was human."

Mizu nods. "Yes, but I didn't have my memory, abilities, or immortality as I do now." They sit at a stoplight and Mizu closes her eyes as she squeezes the steering wheel. "Mmm, I see why she enjoys this. It's like my whole body is vibrating. This feels incredible." Mizu moans relishing in the gentle purr of the engine. "Ooooohh yessss..."

Korra gulps hearing her moan even louder almost like she was having an orgasm. "Uh the light is green." They continue down the road. Korra wonders how Mizu knew where they were going. "Hey, uhh, Miss Chelse told you to ask Asami about driving. Are you talking to her right now? Is that how you know where to go?"

"Sort of. She's letting me tap into her memories while she taps into mine. She wanted to know how far she and her friend are from Tsuchi's lair so I showed her. I used to live there after all." Mizu says nonchalantly.

Korra slams her hand on the dashboard as she turns to face Mizu. "She's not going in there right now is she? We shouldn't be going to eat at an important time like this!"

Mizu rolls her eyes. "Relax, she's fine. It's going to take her a few weeks to get to his lair from where she is right now."

"Weeks!"

"You more than anyone should know that time works differently in the spirit world. Oh yay! We're here. Wooo, this place is fancy." Mizu says jumping out of the car and greeting the Maitre D'. "Reservation for Asami and Korra Sato please." She says confidently.

The man furrows his brow. "Yes, we received the call from your assistant Miss Sato. Your usual booth is ready for you and your…companion."

"My wife." Mizu says correcting him then interlocking her arm with Korra's and walking through the doors.

Korra whispers in Mizu's ear. "Hey be cool alright. Asami comes here a lot, everyone knows her."

"Yes, but they don't seem to know that she's married. That man called you her companion."

"That's because we haven't made the announcement yet okay. Relax." Korra says as they sit down at their booth.

Twenty minutes later Korra is speechless watching Mizu put away another cowhippo steak and 3 bowls of Omashu stew.

"MMMM! This is sooooo good!" Mizu says enthusiastically. "The texture and spice is amazing! And this wine….BURRRRP! It's delicious!"

Korra couldn't help but giggle having never seen her wife burp in public. The Avatar takes a swig of the wine then burps even louder. Mizu raises a challenging eyebrow then cocks her head to the side. The water essence drinks more of the wine then burps so loud that the whole restaurant shakes. They begin laughing obnoxiously loud.

The Maitre D' is mortified at their behavior. He goes up to the table and clears his throat. "Excuse me Miss Sato, but we have other guests, if you could please reframe from…."

"Buuuuurrrrrppppp! I'm sorry I didjin't catch dat." Mizu says slurring her words as she looks into his eyes.

Korra is holding her stomach and has to wipe her eyes because she's laughing so hard. She knew how inappropriate their behavior was, but the host's facial expression was priceless. Korra sighs then gets up from her seat seeing the deep blush in Mizu's face. She'd clearly had a bit too much to drink. "Okay, 'honey', I think we should call it a night."

Mizu begins to pout. "But I'm still hungry and we haven't finished the wine."

Korra smiles then helps her up. "We'll get it to go." She says to Maitre D' who smiles gratefully. In all his life he'd never seen Asami Sato act so uncouth. He wouldn't have considered revoking her membership if she weren't the richest woman in the world.

Korra takes a deep focused breath as she drives them out to the mansion. Her wife's driving lessons had really paid off, she'd only hit a few bumps along the way.

Mizu is knocked out by the time they get to the house. Korra picks her up and carries her inside. The water essence wraps her arms around the Avatar's neck. "Mmm, you're so strong." She nuzzles Korra's neck with her nose. "Just like Kuruk." Mizu giggles. "Buuuutt, you're not Juruk, are you?" She says tapping the tip of Korra's nose with her index finger.

Korra releases a heavy breath as she carries Mizu up the stairs. "No I'm not Kuruk." She kicks the door open then stares at the bed for a moment before looking down at Mizu. There was no way she was gonna get in bed with her in the condition she was in. Korra thinks for a minute then decides to sleep on the couch on the other side of the room. She lays Mizu in bed. The water essence tries to pull at the Avatar's shirt. Korra moves her hand away. "No Mizu, I'm fine."

"But where are you going?" Mizu whines.

"I'm sleeping on the couch. Tell Asami that I said I love her." The Avatar says before the watery titan pulls her down onto the bed. "Mizu, I said no."

The water essence forcefully grabs Korra by the collar then pulls her close until she's just a few inches from her face. Mizu just stares into her eyes for a moment then releases her collar. She then grabs Korra's arm and wraps it around her waist. Korra tries to pull back, but Mizu has a vice like grip on her wrist. She scoots her butt back into the Avatar's hips then closes her eyes and lays her head against the pillows. Mizu releases a long breath before speaking. "If you stay, you can talk to her."

Korra furrows her brow. "What do you mean?"

Mizu yawns before falling off to sleep. "Just stay." She whispers.

Korra lies still for a few minutes staring at the back of Mizu's neck. She inches her nose a little closer then inhales. Her heart aches catching the scent of Jasmine in her hair. The next two weeks were gonna be hell and she knew it.

What the heck did Mizu mean anyway? How was she supposed to talk to Asami while she was asleep? Korra tries to pull her arm away again, but Mizu snuggles into her even more.

Korra rolls her eyes in defeat. She wasn't going anywhere tonight. She eventually begins to fall asleep, then Mizu farts. Korra jumps a bit not expecting that. "Seriously Mizu, geez." She says with a giggle, this definitely wasn't Asami. The water essence turns over and nestles herself into Korra's bosom. The Avatar lies on her back to accommodate her. She even wraps her arms around her like she usually does with her wife.

Mizu takes in a deep breath. "Hello, Mizu? Tell Korra that Sokka and I had to find a new camping spot okay. Mizu?"

The water tribe woman furrows her brow then looks down at the water essence seeing her talking in her sleep. "A-Asami?"

"Korra? Is that you baby?" The young CEO says surprised to hear her wife's voice.

The excited Avatar raises her eyebrows now completely awake. "Yeah, it's me. Wow this is great!"

"Where's Mizu?" Asami asks.

Korra looks down at her chest nervously. "Uhhh, she's uhh, right here. She's asleep. She told me I could talk to you…if I…laid with her."

"Oh." Asami says not quite sure how to feel about that. Then she remembers something Mizu said to her earlier. "Oh that's right, she did mention that our connection would change when either of us are asleep. Soooo, how's it going?"

Korra continues to stare at Mizu. "I miss you. I know it's only been a few hours, but really I do."

"Wow, it's been 2 days here already." Asami says.

"What? Why didn't you say anything?" Korra asks.

"Chelse told us that time would be different in the spirit world remember. I would have been talking to you every other minute there if I told you everything that was going on here." Asami says.

"You can check in a thousand times an hour if you want to Asami. Don't leave me in the dark like that alright. I wanna know what's happening over there."

Asami sighs. "Baby, I'm not going to do that. I'd be taking up all of Mizu's time. I'm fine for now alright. I'm still in the safe zone. Mizu said it's gonna take me a few weeks to get to Tsuchi's lair. I'll let know when anything important happens I promise."

Korra nods softly. "Okay." The young Avatar didn't like the sound of that. Asami was more important than Mizu in her book.

Asami is silent for moment. "So, how is she?"

The young Avatar smirks softly exhaling from her nose. "Like a big kid. It's like everything is new for her. It's been nice to see her happy."

The raven-haired beauty sighs as she anxiously plays with her fingers hearing the tone of caring in her wife's voice. "So, you two are getting along then."

"Yeah, I think we're gonna be alright. We went by Kwong's for dinner and whoa can she put it away…" Korra begins recounting the day's events to her wife. Asami is completely embarrassed by the time Korra finishes talking. "Yeah, she's definitely not Asami Sato. There's only one of you." Asami half smiles with a small giggle. Korra takes in an apprehensive breath feeling her wife's distance. "Asami I want you to know that I…."

Asami interrupts her. "I trust you Korra, no matter what alright. It's getting pretty late, why don't you get some rest. I'll check in with you tomorrow."

Korra lowers her eyes. "Oh okay. I love you."

"I love you too." Asami says softly before cutting off their link.

Sokka looks up at her seeing tear welled eyes. "Hey, is everything alright?"

Asami gives her eyes a quick swipe. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm gonna go take a little walk alright."

Sokka nods. "Hey take Hei-Bai with you."

"You mean in case I get lost?"

The water tribesmen shakes his head. "No, he's a great listener.

The heiress sighs then nods to the black and white bear. He nudges her hand with his nose and she gets on his back.

After a few minutes of walking he comes to a stop at a large pond with beautifully clear water. She gets off of Hei Bai and he begins to nudge her again. "Hey stop." She says, but it's too late he's already pushed her into the pond.

Asami is surprised that the water is warm like a hot spring. She smiles then swims out a little bit and submerges herself. Hei-Bai comes in after her and carries her to the other side of the pond. They sit quietly in the water looking up into a beautiful violet sky filled with orange stars.

The pale skinned beauty soon begins to cry then lays her head against the large bear's arm. All she can think of is her wife in the arms of another woman. She shakes her head and wipes her eyes. "I should be happy you know, but I'm not. Korra's fine, and I don't want her to be."

She looks up at Hei Bai. "That's wrong of me isn't?" He licks her face. She smiles with a sad giggle. "I'm the one who suggested that they try and get to know one another. I mean I could have easily told Korra to stay away from Mizu and I know she would've, but then that wouldn't be fair to Mizu. This is so messed up. I mean I know she's me, but I still can't stand the thought of her being with Korra. I don't know what to do. I want this for both of them, but at the same time I don't. I hate feeling like this."

Hei-Bai gets up and goes back out into the water and transforms into a fearsome six legged beast. Asami is frightened at first until he bows down in front of her and begins to nudge her hand again. She swims out to him. Hei Bai begins to roar blasting light into the sky from his mouth, then he nudges Asami again. She smiles takes a deep breath then begins to roar along with him. With each yell she sheds more tears.

He transforms into his usual size when Asami is done yelling. She hugs him. "You really are a good listener." She scratches his head and they head back to camp.

Sokka smiles at them. "Feeling better now?"

She nods then snuggles up next to Hei Bai for a good nights sleep.

The next morning…

Sato Mansion

Korra yawns then looks down at her stomach to see a naked Mizu sleeping between her legs. She would have been worried, but fortunately her clothes were still on. She gets out of bed then pulls the covers up over Mizu and heads down to the kitchen to get some breakfast started.

The water essence inhales deeply through her nose and catches the scent of something delicious. She's out of bed in a flash letting her nose lead the way. "Korra?" She calls out making her way downstairs then holding the side of her head as a sharp pain pulses through it. It was throbbing like crazy. "Korra?" She calls out again as the pain increases.

"I'm in the kitchen." Korra looks up as Mizu walks in without a stitch of clothes on. She immediately averts her eyes. "Uhh, would you mind putting on a robe or something please?"

Mizu sits down at the table with her head in her hands. "What is this pain in my head?"

Korra smirks then picks up two pan lids clapping them together with a loud clang. Mizu's eyes widen as the pain in her head increases. "Congrats on your first hangover, now go back upstairs and put something on. Breakfast is almost ready."

The water essence takes a deep breath then shoots an icicle at Korra's head. "It's nothing you haven't seen before."

The young Avatar chuckles as she dodges it then lowers her eyes. That little bending move had turned Korra on and she hated herself for it. "Mizu come on. When Asami asked us to get to know one another I don't think this was what she meant." Korra averts her eyes as Mizu gets up from the table and walks over to her.

"What do you think she meant?" Mizu asks as Korra turns away from her.

The water tribe woman gulps. "She wanted us to talk and (the water essence moves to stand in front of her) you're not being fair to me Mizu." Korra says clenching her jaw.

"Fair? What do you know about fair?" Mizu says snidely as Korra keeps her eyes on the stove. "Look at me Korra."

"No." Korra moves to walk out of the kitchen. "Do you even care how I feel about all this? You're not my wife."

Mizu grabs her arm forcing Korra to turn around. Korra closes her eyes tight until Mizu slaps her. Angry blue eyes are locked onto jade green orbs. Mizu grabs Korra's chin roughly and brings their lips together then pushes the Avatar back against the counter and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. "Was it fair when you kissed me yesterday?"

Korra lowers her eyes. "I apologized to you for that."

Mizu scoffs. "Oh please, you think some halfhearted apology means something. You only did it because you thought it'd make things right with Asami. You don't give a fuck about my feelings so why should I care about yours." She says as she storms out of the kitchen. A minute later she comes back in and grabs a few pieces of sausage from the stove then leaves again.

Korra was speechless knowing that Mizu was right. She finishes cooking breakfast then takes a tray upstairs as a peace offering. The door is closed. She knocks softly. "Mizu?"

"What?"

"Uhh, can, can I come in?" The caramel beauty asks apprehensively.

Mizu rolls her eyes. "It's your house isn't it?"

Korra gulps then opens the door with a nervous smile. She takes a napkin off the tray then waves it. "Uhh, I come in peace?"

The still naked water essence crosses her arms averting her eyes.

Korra sits on the side of the bed putting the tray of food on the night stand trying to ignore her wife's magnificent body. "What do I have to do for you to accept my apology?" Mizu reaches for one of the plates on the tray. Korra slaps her hand away. "I asked you a question Mizu. I'm serious."

The blue-eyed titan crosses her arms again. "You're not gonna be able to do it."

Korra scoots closer to her. "Try me."

Mizu gazes into the Avatar's hopeful sapphire orbs then lowers her eyes and gulps. "Asami and I are becoming one Korra. But we're not there yet."

"Yeah and…"

Mizu sighs not speaking for a moment. "I am the essence of water. My name is Mizu. I am as old as the beginning of all things. I'm different from her."

Korra raises her eyebrows in confusion. "Ooookay."

The water essence's shoulders rise and fall. "Asami doesn't expect us to just talk Korra you know that just as I do." The Avatar lowers her eyes. "So...I want you to kiss me…" Korra clenches her jaw then takes a deep breath and leans into Mizu's lips. The Avatar wasn't concerned about that request. Asami knew they'd slept in one another's arms yesterday. What would one more kiss hurt? Mizu places her index finger against the Avatar's lips. "Kiss me like you mean it, like the way you kiss her. Kiss me like that and I'll know your apology is real."

Korra lowers her eyes then looks away. "I can't."

"I knew you couldn't do it." Mizu says turning her head away.

"What about you? Could you kiss me the way you kissed Kuruk or Tsuchi?" The water tribe woman asks.

Mizu looks up at her. Sky blue eyes fall to Korra's lips. "I can." The water essence says alluringly.

Korra exhales through her nose sharply. "No you can't. How could you? You don't even know me."

Mizu cups the young Avatar's cheek. Then she gazes into her eyes, waiting on Korra's permission. Korra gulps then closes her eyes. Mizu moves in. The moment their lips touch the Avatar feels fireworks going off within her body and she can't help but reciprocate. A slow passionate dance ensues within their mouths. A moan escapes Korra's throat feeling the water essence's fingers running through her hair. Mizu leans back into the headboard and the Avatar has no choice but to follow as every drop of liquid in her body responds to the water essence's call.

Ahh!" Korra yelps breathlessly when Mizu suddenly grabs a fistful of the dark brown hair at the back her head and yanks back sharply. The young Avatar pants unsure of what to do. Mizu sits up slowly guiding Korra off to the side of the bed and down to her knees between her legs as their eyes lock. The Avatar's sapphire orbs instinctively travel down Mizu's body landing on the wetness between her legs. Korra gulps wanting to taste her wife. Mizu gives Korra's head another quick yank for some eye contact. The water tribe woman swallows hard as she finds Mizu's now lidded color shifting eyes.

"When you can kiss me like that, I'll know you mean it." Mizu says releasing Korra then bringing her legs back up to the bed and picking up the tray of food on the table. "Thanks for breakfast."

"You're…welcome." Korra says still sitting on the floor next to the bed. She blinks a few times and takes a deep breath as she gets to her feet. "C-c-can you tell Asami that I said good morning?"

"She says she loves you."

"Tell her that I…love her too. And tell her that we kissed. Ask her if it's okay." Korra says as Mizu looks up at her with a deadpan expression on her face. "Tell her."

The water essence's heart is about to beat its way through her chest as she delivers the message. She knew Asami wanted them to be together, but that didn't mean they couldn't keep things to themselves for a while. What the hell was Korra thinking just putting it out there like that? "She…she says it's okay and that she wants you to know all of her."

Korra and Mizu both avert their eyes.
