I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF KORRA OR/AND AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER.

Chapter 37-

"Korra . . . Korra, please just open the door." Mako says with a quiet and sad voice as he talks though the thick door that Korra locked herself in.

After the whole innocent with mastering the Avatar State and unlocking the chakras, Korra ran into her room, slammed the door shut and locked the door. She locked her windows and she pushed one of her dressers in front of her door so no one can break the door open.

Mako is now trying to talk to Korra and ask for her to either come out or at least open the door, but the waterbender doesn't listen and she just sits on her bed and stares at the wall while she lets a few more tears escape her bright cerulean eyes.

"Go . . . away . . . Mako." Korra whispers, but Mako surprisingly manages to hear it and he just sighs and shakes his head, "I'm not leaving you, Korra. Can you just please open the door so we can talk?"

Korra doesn't answer and she remains silent. Mako sighs and leans against the thick door. The firebender pinches the bridge of his nose and now all he can do is wait and hope that Korra decides to come out and talk.

An hour passes by and Korra still hasn't come out of her room and Mako is now sitting on the floor with his back leaning against the door.

Aang then suddenly shows up and walks over to Mako with a frown on his face, "She still hasn't come out?"

Mako sighs and shakes his head, "No, she won't come out. I don't know what to do. She won't talk to anyone and she refuses to see any of us. I just want to know what happened and what lead her to be so upset. I know before she ran off she said she didn't unlock them, but how come? What happened?"

Aang looks at the door then at Mako, "I have an idea and it may work."

"What?" The firebender questions as he stands up and folds his arms across his chest.

. . .

Korra is now lying down on her bed; her knees are curled up against her chest and she has her arms wrapped around her body.

Just when Korra starts to think that Mako has given up trying to get her to come out and talk, she hears another knock on her door and she sighs, "Mako, I told you to just go away and leave me alone. Please just- just go!"

However, instead of her hearing the familiar firebender's soft voice, she hears a different familiar voice, "Korra . . . it's me . . . Aang. Can you please open the door?"

At first, it's silent and Aang thinks Korra isn't even going to bother, but when he hears furniture moving and the door slowly opening, the young airbending monk smiles.

Korra slowly allows Aang into her room then she shuts the door and locks it once more.

"What do you want, Aang?" Korra says a bit harsh and she instantly regrets it, but she doesn't even bother apologizing.

Aang watches as Korra walks back over to her small bed and sits down on it, he stays standing and he sighs, "Korra . . . what happened?"

Korra chuckles and she shakes her head, tears are in her eyes, but she refuses to let them fall, "What happened? You know exactly what happened Aang. The same thing happened to you!"

Aang looks down at his feet before letting his eyes slowly lock with Korra's ocean blue eyes that are filled with anger, hate, regret, love and sadness, "The last chakra is very hard to unlock. It isn't your fault. I couldn't unlock it either because my earthly attachment was Katara."

Korra stays silent and Aang gives her a sad smile, "Your earthly attachment was Mako . . . wasn't it?"

Korra lets out a loud sigh and she folds her tan arms across her chest, "How did you know?"

"It's simple . . . it's because you love him." Aang says with a slight shrug to the shoulders.

Korra frowns, "Well, now I can't ever master the Avatar State and that means I will never beat Amon and then that means the world will be right . . . I am a horrible Avatar."

Aang gives her a confused look and he instantly shakes his head, "Korra, what are you talking about? You're an amazing Avatar. It isn't an easy job, you know."

Korra rolls her eyes and huffs, "You tell the people that."

Aang looks into Korra's now dull, sad eyes and with a soft voice, he asks, "What's wrong, Korra?"

Korra does her famous pout and she huffs, "What's wrong?! You want to know what's wrong, Aang?!"

"Um . . ." Aang begins as he rubs the back of his neck, "I did just ask what's wrong so yeah, I do want to know what's wrong."

Then, just like that, everything comes flying out of Korra's mouth, "All I am trying to do is be a good enough Avatar, but no matter what I do these stupid people just won't ever be satisfied! Ugh! I am trying to do my best and do what's right for this world, but everything I do is apparently wrong!"

Aang's now staring at Korra with wide eyes and he nervously says, "Korra, you're a good Avatar. You just need to calm down and-"

And before Aang could finish his sentence, Korra cuts him off, "I mean, you were a good Avatar, why can't I be like you?! Oh, and did you see how mean those people were to me, but when they realized you're Aang from the past did you see how nice they were to you?! Once they believed you were, well you, they were so happy and they excited. Why can't they like me? Why don't they think I'm a good Avatar?"

"Korra, they don't think that. They do like you-" Aang tries to say, but Korra just throws her hands in the air and cuts him off once again.

"Oh, and then there is the whole problem with Amon! Amon is just taking people's bending away one by one and when he came to the park during our announcement I couldn't stop him! He was right there and I couldn't reach him. I should have kept fighting; I should have done SOMETHING!" Korra huffs and folds her arms tightly across her chest.

"Then the best part is that, I'm so scared that Amon will hurt someone that I love that I will lose all my self-control and then what? Aang, what happens if I kill him?! If I kill him then we're both sent back to the Spirit World and we could never leave. You know, I love being the Avatar, but sometimes it's just so hard . . . you know?" Korra pouts and mumbles with anger in her now ice blue eyes.

Aang goes to speak, but right before he can Korra cuts him off with a stomp to the foot. Korra starts to pace the room back and forth while continuing to yell, "This is just so frustrating! It's just so much and- and- and-" but before Korra can continue with her thought, Aang finally cuts her off with a strong, powerful yell, "KORRA!"

Korra's ocean blue eyes widen, she stops pacing, and she now stays quiet as she stares into Aang's eyes.

"You need to calm down! You're yelling and flipping out and going crazy!" Aang first yells, but then he takes a deep breath and calmly continues, "Being the Avatar is a lot of work and not everyone is going to like you."

Korra goes to protest, but Aang puts up a hand and continues, "When Katara and Sokka first got me out of that ice and the people first found out that their Avatar was back . . . it was a nightmare. Everyone thought I just abandoned them and didn't care about them. When Ozai and the Fire Nation was killing people I couldn't do anything to stop it until I mastered all the elements. I know how exactly how you're feeling right now. Also, I do believe that we could still defeat Amon and Azula without killing either of them. I do believe we could defeat them without using the Avatar State. We're a team, Korra."

Korra gives Aang a small smile, "We are a team . . . all of us . . . aren't we?"

Aang nods his head and chuckles, "We are. All of us are the new Team Avatar and I know that together, we can defeat anything and anyone. Korra, the people are just confused and scared. They're scared of Amon and they're taking it out on you because you are the Avatar."

Korra nods her head slowly, showing she understands; then she smiles at Aang, "Thank you, Aang. Even though I couldn't unlock the Avatar State, I actually think I could still beat Amon."

Aang gives Korra a small smile and then goes to turn around and leave, but Korra's sudden question stops him, "Aang . . . it's just . . . if I can't even protect the people . . . or myself, then how am I supposed to protect my friends . . . how am I supposed to protect you guys?"

Aang gently places his hand on Korra's shoulder and he gives her a tender smile, "We'll all be protecting each other. I mean come on, we're both the Avatars, nothing can stop us or get in our way. We are all a team and we are all going to have each other's backs and protect each other. It won't be all on you, oh and by the way, soon enough the entire world will realize you're an amazing Avatar who they can always count on."

Korra smiles then suddenly pulls Aang into a tight embrace. They both hug each other tightly for a few minutes and then they finally pull away.

"Thanks, Aang." Korra whispers to the airbender and he simply smiles and shrugs his shoulders, "Any time, Korra. You ever need to talk, I'm always here."

Korra then sighs and mumbles, "So . . . now we have to tell everyone what happened?"

Aang slowly nods his head, "Yes, we have to. You ready?"

The waterbender frowns, but she knows either way they're going to find out so she might has well tell them now.

Aang grabs Korra's tan hand and they both exit out of the bedroom and back outside where the rest of them should be waiting.

Okaay guys, that's it for this chapter!

I'm sorry nothing major happened in this chapter and it was short, but things will be happening soon ^_^

I'm really sorry for the late updates, school has been crazy! I will try updating faster and thank you all for understanding :)

So, so no one is unclear: Korra did not complete the Avatar State; Aang did not complete it either, however, with his battle with Ozai when he was slammed into the rock and a sharp piece of the rock went into the wound on Aang's back that triggered it to force Aang into the Avatar State, but really he never actually *mastered* it. If anything else is unclear please feel free to ask any questions :)

Please comment/review and let me know what you thought of it, thanks!

So, this was just some bonding time between the two Avatars, hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you everyone who's been favoriting/following/reviewing and reading my story; I really appreciate it! ^_^

Next chapter should be up soon!

Thanks for reading! :D
