Chapter 55
Asami finished her work at the company, the two young women headed to the newly reconstructed Probending arena. The two were quite happy; they could relax and not worry about Triads, Amon, or the Equalists in general.
"You know, I am not used to having such wonderful time. I mean, I studied bending for most of my life, and then fought the Equalists, or spent time alone in the Earth Kingdom. But now we are just going to relax. Feels weird. I want to fight," complained Korra as she looked at Asami.
"Relax, you should not only fight, there are plenty of other things in life that we could do"
"Right, shopping and makeovers. I just love makeovers," spoke Korra sarcastically.
"Bolin likes them. And I was referring to more thrilling activities like racing," replied Asami
"Right. I am not going in the same car as you until you learn how to operate Satomobiles," joked the Avatar.
"You still remember that, don't you," laughed Asami as the two young ladies approached the Probending building. Before they could enter it, they saw some Earth bender trying to rob a non-bender.
"Give me your money!" spoke the robber as he lifted rocks above the ground, trying to scare the guy.
"Please I have family," spoke the non-bender as the Earth bender continued to threaten poor guy.
"Hey you, yes I am talking to you! Leave that man alone, or else" spoke Korra
"Or else what? Do you think that a young Water bending girl could defeat me?" asked the thug as Korra created an air ball and rode quickly to the man. She then hit him with her leg, and then used air bending to throw him away.
The man tried to run but suddenly electricity circulated through his body; the man screamed and dropped on the ground. "I did not know that you took your glove," spoke Korra
"Well, girl's gotta be prepared to fight some creeps", smiled Asami, "although I did manage to create a more compact glove, which resembles an actual glove and easier to carry.
The two women tied the thug and then entered the building. They journeyed to their private room to watch the game. Interestingly, they saw Bolin with two other people on one side of the arena.
As the match started, the opposing team coordinated their attack well, and in few seconds the Fire Ferrets dropped in the water. "It's the fastest match in Probending history," spoke the announcer.
"Ouch," spoke Asami.
"Yea, that kinda sucks. Lets go and talk to Bolin, I bet he is unhappy with the match," suggested Korra as the two friends decided to skip the rest of the games and visit their friend.
Korra and Asami soon arrived to the locker room, where Bolin sat alone. The young man looked at the ground, unsure what to do. "Hello Bolin," spoke Korra as they approached him.
"O hey Korra, Asami. The Fire Ferrets lost again. I am not sure if the team will be as good as it was with Mako. I miss my brother," spoke Bolin as he stood up.
"Maybe we need to chill out and I am not talking about makeovers," suggested Asami as her two friends looked at her.
"We could go to eat someplace. I suggest Narook's; it's a wonderful Water Tribe Cuisine place. Their noodles are great," spoke Bolin as he smiled.
"Narook's it is. Common Korra, Bolin," spoke Asami as the three friends went to Bolin's favorite restaurant. When the group arrived, they saw that the restaurant was half full.
"Busy time in Republic City" smirked Bolin as the three approached the table. As the group sat at the table, they noticed that many of the people began to whisper, some pointed at the group.
"Why are people whispering about me? I though the people of the Republic City love me?" asked Korra as Asami looked her friend in the eyes.
"They are not talking about you. Of course they love you, you are the Avatar and people adore and deify you. Their issue is with me" spoke Asami as Korra lifted her brow and Bolin opened his mouth, in order to say something but was interrupted by Asami.
"Korra, you, as well as Mako and Bolin, saved the city and became heroes in people's minds. But there are still some people here who associate me with my father. To them I am still and Equalist, their enemy" Asami looked around and saw that everyone immediately looked away from the group.
"Don't worry Asami, they just don't know you any better. You are a great friend," spoke Korra as she extended her hands and hugged her friend.
"I am not so sure that the dinner was such a good idea. Maybe we should do something instead of it?" asked Bolin, who by now seemed to forget that the Fire Ferrets just lost another match.
"I should probably go home," spoke Asami as she smiled weakly as the waiter arrived and the trio ordered some food for them.
"Nonsense Asami, you are such a beautiful and kind girl, you should not sit in your room and think badly of yourself," spoke Bolin
Asami looked at Bolin and blushed. "I know what we need to have! Lets watch the "Girl and the City" play, that just arrived to Republic City. I hear they improved since their last major work, "The Boy in the Iceberg". Apparently, the play is about our adventures when we fought the Equalists," Bolin grinned to Korra's horror.
"Are you alright?" questioned Asami.
"Lin told me once how her mother brought her to watch "the Boy in the Iceberg" play and it was very inaccurate," replied Korra
"Common, how bad can this play be? All we need is to get Mako and go to see the play," smiled Bolin enthusiastically.
Later the new Team Avatar, consisting of Korra, Asami, Bolin, and Mako sat in the box, awaiting to see the new play. While Korra was somewhat cynical on what the play would be, Asami was not sure what to think, while Mako seemed not to even care about being there, with Bolin being super happy.
"Here it comes!" spoke Bolin as the curtains lifted.
A/N:
I decided to make a funny chapter; so next chapter the Krew will be watching Korra's adventures during her fight against Amon. The people who wrote that play are the descendants of the people who wrote "The Boy in the Iceberg".
Next chapter: The Krew watches their a play about their adventures.
The Chapter after that: Korra visits Mako during his work hours, and the two encounter a new threat.
