Morning rose in the swamps and Korra was talking to Toph while Rex sat back and watched.

"You've got to help me get back into avatar spirit. I keep getting my butt handed to me by losers and anyone else" said Korra.

"Listen when I was chief of police, I learned something on the field. The names change but the streets stay the same" said Toph in a grumpy voice.

"So you're saying everything that I've ever done has been pointless" said Korra looking in disbelief then continued in a grumpy voice saying "and I thought Beifong was tough."

"I'm the original Beifong" said Toph with pride.

Rex decided to step in since hearing those words ticked him off a little. "So are you going to help her or not, grandma" retorted Rex. Then he was flung into the air and landed on his back from Toph earthbending up in the air.

"You're snarky kid, but never call me old or grandma, metal man."

"Great nickname there" grunted Rex as he got up.

"As for the question at hand, I was going to soak my feet in mud for a few weeks, but it's sad to see you getting you butt handed to you. Alright I'll help" smiled Toph.

Korra looked at her with glee and stepped towards her saying "thank you" but ran into a wall as Toph said "you want to hug something, go hug a tree. We're here to work" she said cheekily

Rex was sitting on a big tree root as he watched Korra and Toph getting into fighting stances as he heard Toph say "Ok. Bring it". Korra charged at her throwing air strikes and Toph just dodged them. Then threw a big mudslide at Korra, knocking on her butt. She got up and a squirrel-frog land on her shoulder.

"Tell me what you did wrong" said Toph as she walked over.

"Well I was thinking...". "Exactly you were thinking. Go again" said Toph as she turned her back to Korra.

"Sheesh. I though Six and White Knight were tough" thought Rex as he watched the fight.

Korra got back up and threw her projectiles at Toph but she stilled dodged them. She charged at Toph again but Toph shuffled her feet and in turn the earth under Korra's feet and made her trip and then launched her into the air and landing in a puddle.

"Pathetic. Of all the avatars I've worked with, you're by far the worst. I know thats only one other avatar but still" said Toph as she walked away pulling a leech of Korra's elbow.

She then looked towards Rex and said "You're next, metal man." Rex looked down at Toph in surprise but smirked saying "you sure that's a wise decision. Aren't you afraid of breaking your hip, grandma" smirked Rex as he climbed down.

"I'll admit this kid. You've got spunk, kid. I admire that but let's how you fair up with the greatest earthbender of all" said Toph in pride. "Plus I'm curious of what those powers of yours can do."

"Very well then, but don't say I didn't warn you" said Rex.

Rex then formed his punk busters, causing Toph to raise an eye brow. He then jumped up, screaming "woohoo" and came crashing down towards Toph but the earthbender quickly moved away before he landed. He formed his slam cannon and loaded it with the earth and fired it at Toph. But Toph quickly held out her hand and held the earth, not even phasing her. "Not bad kid, but I believe you can do more. No holding back" as she threw rocks at him. Rex formed his Bad Axes and sliced through the rocks and charged at her but she dodged. She formed a wall and Rex broke through with his smack hands and tried to punch Toph but she sunk into the ground and Rex crashed into a tree, getting knocked out in the process.

Toph resurfaced and said "we have a winner. You know kid, you're the first person in years to give me a good fight" said Toph as she pulled him out of the wreckage. "Yo avatar. Your boyfriend over here is knocked out. Heal him so we can continue on."

Korra blushed at her words and retorded saying "he's not my boyfriend" defended Korra.

"Oh please. I can feel you guy's heartbeats when you're around each other. Just tell him the truth" said as she looked at Rex and then back at her saying "you're not going to find another man like him. Literally" as she began walking away.

Korra, still blushing, walked over to Rex and began healing him while thinking. "Do I like Rex like that. I mean, he funny, strong and has been a good friend to me. He's cocky sure but I'm no better" she continued thinking until Rex waking up broke her from her trance.

"So how did I do" said Rex as Korra helped him up. "You crashed into a tree and got knocked out" she said as they began following Toph.


"That felt bad" said Korra as they were walking threw the forest.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I had a great time, especially from your boyfriend here. Man I haven't had that good of a fight in ages."

Rex and Korra blushed at her words and said together "we're not dating."

"Oh for goodness sakes. That's it. I'm leaving you too alone and letting you talk to each other about how you feel about each other. Your heartbeats and twitching muscles are hurting me feet" she yelled as she began walking away.

Rex and Korra watched as she began walking away then looked at each other, still blushing. "Sooo" started Korra, trying to find the right words but figured they was no way out of this and just said "is what she saying true. Do you..." stuttered Korra "feel things towards me" blushed Korra as she looked away. Rex was feeling awkward but decided to be honest and said "yes. I do. And you". "Yea I guess" said Korra feeling embarrassed.

Surprised by this Korra asked "how long have you been feeling this way."

"I suppose since the day I met you. When I woke up and saw you for the first time, you had the most beautiful blue eyes. And as time went on I just grew more fond of you. I wanted to tell you after spending months with you but I didn't want to tell you cause you were going through so much I didn't to make you feel more pressured so I kept it from you. But what about you."

Korra thought long and hard and remembered when. "It was when you told me you were going to help me through me hardships. I was planning to give up but you came in and didn't quit on me. It was one of the most kindest things anyone's done for me. But I guess I was scared to be in another relationship since my last one flopped."

"With that Mako guy." Korra nodded in answer

Rex then grabbed Korra shoulders and said "I know we've been through a lot but we have each other and we've been friends for a long time now. And I'm not going to leave you alone Korra. I don't know what will happen in the future but you don't have to worry about it because we'll face it together. So what do you say. Let's find your powers, restore your name, and continue our future together. Relationship or not" said Rex but blushed at his last words.

All Korra did was smile at his words and said "I'd like that" as she hugged him as he did the same. But she looked up at Rex and said without hesitation "and as for relationship" she stood on her toes and kissed Rex, surprising him but he returned the favor. They parted ways and Korra said "I trust you to save me and care for me enough to be in a relationship." Rex just smiled at her but were interrupted by an old lady. "Finally you two lovebirds done" complained Toph. Rex put his arm around Korra and said "yes we are you old hag" snarked Rex as he was launched into the air but formed his wings and floated as he expected that to happen. "Great now let's get going" as she turned away.

"But there's still my problem. I feel like I'm out on style."

"Probably because of that metal in your system."

Korra was shocked by this and begged Toph to help her get it out.

They returned to the tree and Toph tried to bend it out of her but Korra kept crying in pain. Toph gave up and told Korra that she needs to do it herself.

Timeskip

Korra and Rex were walking to Toph near sunset and began making their way to the big tree in the swamp. Toph said "the roots of the bandangrove tree stretch out far and wide. You're problem is that you've been disconnected for a while. From those who love you and yourself." Korra hung her head knowing she was right but she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Rex smiling as he said "not everyone."

Korra then kneeled down and felt the vines and began connecting through it. After a while she pulled back up and said "I can't believe it. It's Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo. They're here" as she jumped up and hugged Rex. He embraced her while Toph just said "good. Hopefully, they're here to take you home."

They then heard a growl from a distance and they saw a sky bison and three kids flying toward them as the three said "Korra".

Korra looked up and just cried as she saw the kids. They landed and they all hugged her as she did the same "We missed so much Korra" said Ikki

"I missed you guys too" said Korra as she released them. Jinora the spotted Rex beside her and said "Korra. Who's that"she said as Korra looked at Rex. oh right. Guys this is Rex. He's been traveling with me for a while. He's the one I've talked about in my letters. And is umm... my boyfriend" said Korra blushing as she held his hand.

Ikki just gasped and squealed like a little girl and began bombarding them with questions. Jinora shushed her and greeted Him saying "hello my name is Jinora. Thanks for looking out for her.

"Names Ikki and you two look great together."

"Can we move on from that please" yelled Rex.

"Names Meelo and I'm the man of this party." Rex just laughed at his cockiness. A cough could be heard from everyone and the kids saw an old lady.

"Right sorry. This is Meelo, Jinora, and Ikki. Aang and Kataras grandchildren."

"Your grandfather was a pain in my butt" complained Toph.

"Wait a second. Cranky, old, blind. You must be Toph" said Meelo

"Haha I like this one."

"Oh sure. I call you old, you throw me around but He calls you old and he gets off Scott-free.

"You can handle yourself, buster. I don't think he can" as she pointed at Meelo.

"Hey" was all Meelo said

Jinora then talked about how Korra needed to come back. Kuvira was taking over the earth kingdom and that the world needed the avatar. Korra wasn't sure that she could. But Rex put his hand on her shoulder and have her a reassuring look. Korra then knew what she had to do.

Everyone went back to Toph's hut and Korra was ready to get the poison out but Toph said "you got to do this by yourself." Korra nodded and began moving her arms but was strained by her memories of her last fight.

Rex walked over to her held her shoulders and said "that fight is over. Nothing is going to happen to you now. Let your fear go." Korra nodded and began again. She moved her arms back and forth and moved all the metal out of her as Toph contained it. "Well done, Korra" said Toph.

Korra then looked back up and her eyes flowed white, indicating that her avatar powers were back. Her eyes turned back to normal and felt much lighter after that. Rex then hugged her and said "the avatar is back and ready to kick some butt." Korra returned the hug and thanked Toph for her help.

Everyone climbed on top of the sky bison and began to fly off. Rex had to admit. He was excited about flying one of these bisons. "Goodbye Toph" said everyone as they began to fly off but Rex turned back smirking while saying "goodbye Toph. Have fun with your retirement" waited a while then said "grandma" he laughed as they team flew off

"That kid sure is one of a kind. I think he might just be the help the avatar needs. Now for some peace and quiet" as she walked about into her hut.
