Chapter 54

Next morning Korra opened her eyes and at first was unsure where she was. She instinctively sent air at a closed door, opening it. Korra then sat on her bed.

"Korra, are you all right?" asked Asami as she run into the room.

"Yea. I was not sure at first on where I was as I used to live in woods for two years," spoke the Avatar as she looked at her friend, who was already fully dressed up.

"Common Korra, I would like to show you a tour of my new company. I have a business meeting with the President of another company later, so I wanted to show you the company as soon as you were ready," spoke Asami as she waited for her friend to fully dress up.

As the two young women walked downstairs, they saw Bolin sleeping on the coach. His mouth was covered with spider web; a small spider sat in the middle of it. The girls saw that the small Fire ferret slowly approached Bolin and quickly with its tiny paw grabbed the spider and the spider web. Bolin woke up and screamed.

"Pabu, don't scare me like that!" spoke Bolin as he looked at his small companion, who run away.

"Hello Bolin, how was your night?" asked Korra

Bolin made a sad face, "The Fire Ferrets still need a lot of work, I think we will not even make it into next tournament. But, hey, at least the Team Avatar is fully reunited," smiled the Earth bender.

"Mako, where are you? You will miss breakfast?" shouted Bolin as he called his brother, who did not respond.

"Let me wake the sleepy head," smiled Asami as she run towards the brothers' bedroom. While Bolin's bed was untouched as the boy did not even arrive to his bedroom last night, Mako was still sleeping peacefully.

"Mako?" asked Asami as she looked at her boyfriend.

"Korra!" moaned the Fire bender as Asami's eyes almost shot from the orbits. The girl quickly regained composure as she poked Mako, who soon woke up.

"Asami? Hey, you would not believe the dream I just head. Crap, its late, Chief Bei Fong will probably be mad at me," spoke Mako quickly as he jumped from the bed, put his clothes, and run out of the house like a lightning bolt. Asami sighed.

After breakfast, Bolin went to work on the skills of his team while Korra and Asami drove to the Business district of the Republic City. The two girls soon arrived to the relatively large building and entered. A large letter A was visible outside of the building.

As they entered, Korra saw many workers at work. Some were making Satomobiles, while others were working on some electronics. "I know it is not much, but it was hard to start your own company. I decided to change the basic Satomobile and make exclusively more luxurious cars, which are now known as Asami Sato," the girl looked on the floor, it was obvious to Korra that her friend still could not fully escape from the shadow of her father.

"As my company grew in size and prominence, I was actually able to buy off Future Industries, which was almost completely in ruins by then. I still was not able to get back to mass produce Satomobiles for an average person in Republic City. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I decided to specialize in luxury type Satomobiles. Future Industries are now more technology-based company, instead of producing Satomobiles. I was also left with a large pile of Equalist stuff," spoke Asami.

The Satomobiles that were known as Asami Sato were smoother than the regular cars; they seemed to be more complex. "These babies have powerful engines S6 and S8 as opposed to standard S3 and S4 that the Satomobiles generally have. They each at the very minimum come with many luxurious options, some models more than others. The most basic Satomobile is model M. It comes with few included options and S5 engine. A more traditional luxurious model is A, which has the capacity for carrying up to five passengers; it is also longer than others. Model B is the large Satomobile that is great for countryside use. Finally the fastest Satomobile is Model K, which has two seats capacity, it has the most powerful engine and consumes more fuel than the other models", Asami introduced the four main cars to her friend.

"I have a feeling that Bolin named the models of these cars," smiled Korra as she looked at confused Asami, "Well, let's see. Model M is named after Mako, who Bolin wanted to play a joke on, so he named the most basic car after his brother. The most luxurious car, well that's obvious. Bolin likes outdoor activities and pro bending hence Model B and countryside uses. And finally the fastest Satomobile is after me as I am the avatar, even though I can only use one element," spoke Korra much to Asami's amusement.

"That makes so much sense now. Cheeky Bolin," smiled Asami as she then looked at Korra.

"Hello Lady Asami," spoke one of the workers, later many others greeted her. They were all very happy and energetic as they continued doing their work.

Korra and Asami then went to Asami's office, where they saw a man in his mid twenties, sitting in one of the chairs. He wore a dark blue jacket, a blue shirt, and blue pants. "Hello Varrick, I thought you would arrive later," spoke Asami.

"It appears that my schedule was free and I decided to arrive earlier," smiled the man in a very carefree way, " Zhu Li, bring us some tea," ordered Varrick as a brunette woman appeared and brought a few cups of tea.

"So Miss Asami Sato, I thought that maybe we could make a deal and work together on a military idea of mine. You see, after that incident with Amon and the Equalists, it clicked in my mind one day that we might be able to create something new from these Equalist weapons, maybe even sell them to the police. Or even to the Northern Water Tribe, I heard they have a sudden need for weapons to deal with pirates in the North. Imagine how much money we could make," Varrick closed his eyes and brought his hands to his face, while making a large smile. He then opened his eyes and stared at Asami.

"I am not sure, I don't want to participate in weapon contracts," replied Asami as she looked at Korra.

"You just would sell me all your Equalist weapons and I would invest capital in your growing company," spoke Varrick as he looked at the two ladies.

"I am sorry but my company is doing fine right now. I would need to decline the offer," replied Asami

"Just so that you change your mind, the offer is still on the table," spoke Varrick, "Zhu Li, lets get going,"

"This Varrick is rather strange," spoke Korra

"I think my work is done for today as I don't have more meetings scheduled. Want to hang out?" Asked Asami

"All right, lets see a Pro bending match, like we used to back in the good old days," spoke the Avatar as the two young women exited the building.

A/N:

So Asami basically started her own brand of automobiles, would be equivalent to Mercedes in Korra universe. S type engines, i.e. S6 are like V6 engine in this world. Varrick will play a more important role later on, especially in Spirits Arc.

Next Chapter: Korra and Asami visit Probending Arena, and have a relaxing night with Bolin

The Chapter after that: Korra visits Mako during his work hours.
