Welcome back to the next chapter.
Please leave a review if you can.
I would love to give Kanan something like the Flying Raijin, but I have no idea how to explain it, if you have an explanation for how it would work in the Avatar world that I could use. PLEASE TELL ME.
Crystalheartlover17: Can't reveal what that means and why his father was so worried. You'll have to wait, but it's gonna be good.
I don't own anything aside from my OC's and some other stuff I might add.
Now on to the story.
Later that day, Korra and Kanan are following Suyin through the gardens where several meteorites of different shapes and sizes are resting on low pedestals.
"These meteorites are perfect for beginning metalbenders." Suyin explained. "The metals have a unique property, making them easier to bend."
Suyin breaks off a piece of the meteorite, which she slowly bends down to her hand, she bends it into a star shape, followed by a diamond.
"That's amazing!" Korra said, as she was given the meteorite.
Kanan went off to sit on the nearby stairs, watching Korra concentrate and move her hands around the meteorite.
"Try to focus on the fine pieces of earth within the metal." Suyin instructed Korra.
Taking Suyin's advice, Korra concentrated and successfully changes the shape of the meteorite. "I can't believe it! I'm metalbending!"
"That's my girl!" Kanan applauded. "You picked that up really, really quick. Guess you're that one in a hundred earthbenders that can metalbend."
Suyin scoffed. "That old myth. Don't believe everything you hear. The only thing limiting you is your attitude."
An idea then came to Korra. "Hey Su, I wonder can you bend Kanan's sword. I've seen Lin try and disarm him, but it didn't work."
Kanan materialized Masamune in his hand, and held it out. Suyin concentrated on the ridiculously long-reaching katana, focusing on the metal, but much to her shock she felt nothing, no feeling of metal in the sword, nothing.
"What kind of weapon is that? Who even made it?" Suyin asked curiosly.
"The master swordsmith Masamune crafted it." Kanan answered, shocking Suyin.
"How's that possible? Masamune lived hundreds of years ago." Suyin remarked.
"Are his swords that special?" Now it was Korra's turn to ask.
"Masamune was known for being the best swordsmith in existence. His weapons were considered pieces of art, even national treasures." Suyin explained. "They were known for being, unbreakable, they couldn't rust."
"The strangest thing is that I felt no metal in the sword. It looks like it's made from metal, but I can tell it's not." Suyin said to Kanan.
"Well I myself don't know what it's made of. I was told when to pick it up. I don't know much about it." Kanan replied.
"Well I can tell that the sword is unbendable." Suyin said.
Finally, Bolin walked over to Korra, Kanan and Suyin. "So, I've been thinking, and...I wanna learn to metalbend. I mean, I'm sure you have a waiting list, a couple of years or so, sooo..."
Suyin set a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "Let's get started."
The ground cracks beneath them and a meteorite falls and breaks. The group turns around to see an angry and panting Lin.
"Su, it's time we talk." Lin said, walking towards her sister. "When we were in Mom's office that day, you could've taken responsibility for what you did. But instead, you stayed quiet and let Mom throw her whole career away."
"Mom didn't throw her career away." Suyin said. "She retired the next year. She was a hero."
"You think she wanted to retire?" Lin said. "She was so guilt-ridden about what she did to protect you that she didn't feel worthy of her badge."
"Look, I admit that I was not a perfect kid." Suyin argued with her older sister. "And I've made some mistakes in the past but..."
"You made some mistakes?" Lin scoffed.
"Lin, Mom and I already talked about this years ago and worked things out." The younger sister said in a hurt tone. "If you had gotten together with us like we'd asked, you would know that I'm a different person now. I've been a different person for a long time."
"You think that just because you live in a big, fancy house, and have a chef who cooks you fancy food, that you're a different person?" Lin said. "Maybe you could fool everyone else, but you can't fool me. I see right through you."
"You know what, Lin? You're the one who hasn't changed." Suyin angrily told her older sister. "You're still a bitter loner who only cares about herself. No wonder Tenzin ended things with you years ago."
Kanan facepalmed at that comment.
Lin bends a rock toward Suyin, which she deflects using her wrist. Suyin trips Lin with a fissure, before knocking her off with a meteorite. Lin gets back up and earthbends a staircase, while Suyin metalbends a metal panel.
"Should we stop them?" Korra asked, standing next to her boyfriend.
"You don't have any siblings." Bolin added. "Fighting is all part of the healing process."
Moments later, Huon, Wei, Wing, and Suyin's husband, Baatar, were watching the fight, one of the twins cheering Suyin on.
After a moment, Lin hurled Huan's most recent sculpture at Suyin, who redirected it into a metal wall off to the side, too busy fighting to pay attention to what it was. Huan ran over to it worriedly, only to apparently decide it looked better that way. Finally, Suyin sent Lin flying over a small stream into a set of stairs beside the others. Lin took a moment to catch her breath before growling in annoyance and frustration, glaring at Suyin.
"You got it out of your system?" Suyin asked.
"Not quite yet!" Lin shouted, earthbending a part of the staircase leading to the pavilion, while Suyin earthbends a boulder from the ground. The two of them begins to charge at each other, but Opal interfered by airbending both objects to the side.
"What are you two doing!" Opal said angrily. "You're sisters! Why would you want to hurt each other?"
Both Suyin and Lin pant in exhaustion, and suddenly, Lin faints and falls to the ground, Kanan flickers with inhuman speed next to Lin and catches her.
"She's burning up." Kanan said feeling her forehead.
"Is she okay?" Suyin asks worried for her older sister.
"Yeah, don't worry. I believe it's stress, she needs to rest. I'll bring her to her guest house." Kanan added grabbing Lin in a bridal style before flickering away.
"Alright then." Suyin nodded. "Well, Korra, Bolin, let's go clean up the mess my sister and I made, then get back to your lesson."
The two nodded, after cleaning up the mess they got back to training.
The next evening during Opal's farewell dinner, as the chef walks over and gives Opal her plate.
"Thanks for making my favorite meal." Opal said.
"I'm really going to miss you, Opal." The chef said. "No one appreciates my raw veggie wraps like you do." He walks away to serve the remaining plates of food.
"Everywhere I go there's veggie food. I swear this stuff is gonna follow me to my death." Kanan thought taking a bite out of his steak.
"Every time I eat raw kale." Bolin said to Opal. "I'm going to think of you."
"Oh, that's so sweet." Opal relied blushing slightly.
Lin was also here. After sleeping for sixteen hours straight, Lin had woken up in a wonderful mood, making peace with Suyin, apologizing to Opal for being a bitch towards her, well not in those exact words, and convincing Opal to tell her parents that she wanted to go to the Northern Air Temple.
"Kid, can I give you some relationship advice?" Varrick asked Bolin, who quickly declined. "Well, your loss. Zhu Li! Bring the, uh, thing."
Zhu Li appears in a flash next to Varrick and hands him a contraption from a bag. "Check out my latest invention: an airbender finder."
As Asami takes the machine from Varrick, Korra points her fork at the device. "Wait, that can find airbenders?" The Avatar asked.
Asami points the device toward Korra, moving the device up and down but nothing happens. "I think it's broken." The Sato heiress said handing the gadget back to Varrick.
"It's not broken. She needs to airbend into it!" Varrick said angrily, waving his hands around in a bending motion. "How else do you expect the thing to work?"
"I can see dark times ahead for your company Varrick." Kanan stated.
"Why?" Varrick asked.
"You're leading it." Kanan replied as he took another bite from his food.
At the middle of the table Suyin stands up with a glass raised. "Everyone, if I could have your attention please? Tonight, my beautiful little girl leaves for the Northern Air Temple. Opal, none of us could be more proud of you. You're an incredible daughter, sister, friend."
She lays a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "And soon to be airbending master." Suyin gives a kiss on Opal's head.
Huan, Wing, and Wei watch the slightly emotional scene. The twins sniffle and Huan rolls his eyes. Raising her glass up high, Suyin continued. "Here's to Opal. May she help lead us into the new era!"
Everyone raises their glass for a toast.
As night had fallen over Zaofu, in their guesthouse Kanan and Korra were having fun.
Their kisses were simple but passionate. Kanan left a trail of kisses across Korra's neck, as Korra's hand trailed across his naked body. Kanan's hand trailed down to her perfectly shaped ass, giving it a couple of squeezes, causing a silent moan to erupt from Korra, while his other hand was fondling her breast. As Kanan was busy sucking on Korra's neck, Korra took the opportunity to place something around Kanan's neck, which in turn caused Kanan to stop and look to see that he now had a collar around his neck with a leash in Korra's hand.
"W-What does this mean?" Kanan asked slightly nervous.
"Oh don't play innocent." Korra leaned in to whisper into his ear. "I know that you like this." Causing Kanan to blush out of embarrassment and eagerness.
She tugged on his leash leading him off the bed onto the floor. "On your knees." Korra silently commanded him. "And now pleasure me."
As Kanan leaned in to trail his tongue into her private area, his head was softly pushed away. He looked up to see Korra waving her finger dismissively.
"You have to earn it first." She told him as Kanan began to kiss and lick her body, from her abs to her legs.
Korra herself was surprised how submissive Kanan was. He was the Shinigami for crying out loud, on of the most feared and dangerous people in the world and here he was worshipping her body, like she was his goddess. Well she couldn't really complain, she was starting to like this position of dominance. She wouldn't mind to be the submissive one as well.
Grabbing Kanan's hair Korra guided him underneath her directly under her private area. Kanan wrapped his arms around her sides before giving her clit a long and unhurried lick, causing a shock of pleasure to run through Korra's spine. Kanan focused some electricity around his tongue and continued his steady movement, sometimes snaking his tongue into her clit as deep as he could. The electricity causing Korra's body to almost convulse and for her to moan loudly. He continued his assault, his tongue burrowing it's way inside her clit, as Korra's moans rose in volume. Korra bit her lip as she felt Kanan's small lightning currents course through her body, slowly but surely she felt herself reaching her climax. Her legs shaking as sweat rolled down her body. Finally she couldn't hold it anymore, and with a loud moan she came into Kanan's mouth. Kanan felt her liquids rush through his throat, he drunk every last drop of her juices, not letting any go to waste.
Korra dropped to her knees next to him, panting slightly, leaning onto his shoulder she said. "Now for your reward."
Korra threw him onto the bed. This time Kanan noticed a collar on Korra's neck, it was just like his, plain black leather, with several rings around it for the leash. She turned her back to Kanan and held her arms back, while gesturing her head to the cupboard next to the bed. Kanan turned and saw several plain black leather straps. He took them and wrapped the tightly around her wrists and forearms, not allowing for any movement.
"Tell me Avatar can you leatherbend." Kanan turned her on her back, as he moved in Korra's leg stopped him.
Sering the look of confusion on his face. "I want you to..." She said swinging her rear a bit. Kanan turned her around again as Korra lay face down and ass up.
"Are you sure?" Kanan asked.
"Yeah. We gotta try new things once in a while." She reassured him.
Nodding Kanan lined his long erect member before slowly pushing it in. Korra immediately bit into the sheets, as her face scrunched up in pain. Kanan heard her hiss and stopped.
"It's okay." Korra reassured him with a heavy breath. Kanan began moving his hips again in a slow movement, wanting Korra to get used to this. Kanan's hands trailed up to Korra's breasts as he began fondling them softly. Korra relaxed the feeling of her breast being kneaded helped her a lot. Korra began to moan as Kanan thrusted into her. She hadn't felt this way before. She had always wondered what the appeal of bondage was. She never felt the need when she previously had sex with Kanan.
She was always puzzled by the need of some people to tie themselves up during sex. To Korra this was at best a weird perversion. It didn't seem to improve the experience. In fact, to her, it seemed to make things worse. However, now that she was experiencing bondage herself, she now saw it in a whole new light. It didn't restrain pleasure. It enhanced it. The feeling of being completely helpless while being penetrated got the heart racing, adrenaline filling her veins. This was an exhilarating experience for Korra. She began to laugh at her old self. The old self that had shook her head at those people who tied themselves up.
Kanan pulled on her leash, pulling Korra up to sit on her knees, directly over Kanan's waist. His shaft now reaching even deeper into her ass. She bit her lip, hoping to contain her moans, but it was futile when Kanan hit a very sensitive spot causing Korra to scream in pleasure, silently hoping no one else had heard it. Kanan noticed that she liked the spot and thrusted and hit the spot several times, which caused borderline screams of pleasure to erupt from Korra's throat.
"Wow! If there's Assbending, Kanan has to be the best at it!" Korra thought as she breathed heavily as Kanan tore through her ass. She saw Kanan's lightning coated fingers enter her clit, as she started screaming from pleasure again. She bit her lip hard enough to draw blood, her moans and screams coming out as whimpers as her eyes rolled back and her mind began to melt as small currents of lightning coursed through her body. She was about to cum, but for some reason found herself unable to. It felt like somethin was holding her back.
Was Kanan using his waterbending to hold her orgasm back.
"Oh you want me to beg, don't you. You'll see this goes both ways." Korra thought.
Kanan began to grunt, seemingly unable to hold himself back from orgasming. Korra herself needed the release, so she begged.
"Please!" She almost whimpered. "Please... l-let me cum. Please."
Kanan seemed to like this as Korra finally released all the built up pressure and came all over the bedsheets. She then gasped at the amount of Kanan's cum which completely flooded her. He finally let go of her leash, and untied Korra's arms.
Big mistake. Kinky boy.
Korra grabbed Kanan and pressed his back against the nearby wall. She pulled and held on tight to his leash and began to stroke his member with one hand and held his arms above him with the other, as cum dripped from her ass. Kanan was too exhausted to fight back, but Korra still had some strength left. After stroking him for a minute or so Kanan felt himself about to cum again, but something held him back. Something denied him the heavenly feeling of release.
"That little waterbending trick goes both ways." Korra told him, using her waterbending and holding him back from orgasming.
She leant closer and whispered into his ear. "If you want to cum so desperately, you're gonna have to beg."
But Kanan stood defiantly. He would break soon enough Korra thought. After a minute or so Kanan's legs began to shake, Korra smiled sadisticly.
She leant closer and whispered again. "Beg. Beg your Mistress to release you. Beg."
Kanan couldn't hold it anymore, he needed the release so desperately.
"Please..." He whimpered.
"Please, what." Korra demanded.
"Please, Mistress." He groaned. "Please, Mistress let me cum!"
Korra removed her grip as the cum exploded from Kanan's shaft, spraying onto the bed and floor.
Both lovers fell to the floor, both breathing heavily. Both covered in sweat and each others juices.
"Wow... that... was... simply... amazing." Korra exclaimed between heavy panting. This had to be their best time yet.
"I know... you... were so... amazing." Kanan said placing a kiss on her forehead. He'd gladly be Korra's pet again.
Korra herself loved the dominance she felt. But she also liked being the submissive one. Kanan felt the same as well from what she saw.
After laying on the floor for an unspecified amount of time Korra decided they need to take a bath, both stunk from sweat and needed to clean each other's juices from themselves.
After a long and hot bath, the two lovers found themselves cuddled next to each other in their bed, both clothed in their sleeping wear.
"I love you." Kanan said as he took in the beautiful smell of Korra's hair. Surprisingly her hair smelled like his, after coconut. Well, another thing they had in common.
"I love you too." Korra said looking him deep in his eyes before locking her lips with his for a small and delicate kiss.
Sleep then took both off them, both smiling, both in each others arms.
Some time after midnight, a Zaofu guard is patrolling the guest houses. A small group runs across a trail in the park toward a bridge.
Zaheer quietly peers out from under the bridge. In the distance, a guard with a metallic staff in hand looks down at the bridge for a few seconds before walking off. Zaheer waves his hand and signals to everyone to continue moving forward.
Another guard patrols the sheltered walkway as the invaders use the cover of darkness to sneak past the walkway undetected. They head toward a guest house in the far end.
They passed a window of Bolin's room, who was sleeping with a blanket over him in his bed, snoring. Pabu is curled up on top of the blanket. The fire ferret perks up with a squeak.
"Opal..." He mumbled in his sleep. "Eating kale off me... naked..."
Pabu wakes up, the fire ferret leaps off the bed and hops over to the nearby window and looks out, noticing the four criminals. He paws against the glass and squeaks loudly in alarm in an attempt to wake his owner, jolting Bolin awake.
"What?" Bolin said, his pet continues to shrill. "What's going on? Pabu, sleep!" He sinks back and lays down to his pillow in annoyance.
Looking through the right window, they saw the sleeping forms of Korra and Kanan laying cuddled together in bed.
They crouch down beside it, and Ming-Hua raises a water tentacle up and forms a small sickle at the end. She uses the ice sickle to scratch the glass and carves a hole into the window with her water bending.
As they turn to enter through the hole in the window an energy spear shoots out and spears Zaheer, pinning him onto a nearby wall. The others are promptly blasted away by a strong gust of fire.
Out of the dust step out Korra and Kanan in their sleeping wear. The lightning spear coming from Kanan's left hand as he held the Masamune in his other.
"Do you think we're stupid or something." Korra told the criminals. "Just because we're in a safe place you think we're gonna let our guard down." Korra scoffed.
"So much for the element of surprise." Ming-Hua said shooting out several ice shards which Kanan slaps away with his Masamune. He dissolves the lightning spear as Korra lunges and punches Zaheer through the building, waking up everyone else. Korra turns around and incinerates several darts thrown at her.
Kanan flickers behind Ghazan, he swung his sword lazily, which the lavabender barely dodged as the Masamune cut some of his hair. With a one hand backflip Kanan dodges the combustionbender P'Li and her explosion.
Several sirens are heard throughout the area around them.
"Retreat!" Zaheer yells out as the others turn to run.
The alarm began to blare louder, as the criminals reach a small square, several lights from nearby guard towers illuminate them.
"Kaze no Kizu!" The four turn to see Kanan swing his sword releasing a gigantic blast of energy which tore through the ground and almost them if Zaheer didn't blast himself and his teammates with his airbending into the air.
"What the hell was that!" Ghazan yelled out upon seeing the young swordsman's attack.
Korra breathes in before releasing a gigantic breath of fire from her mouth. Ghazan bends an earth wall, which slowly begins to melt from the fire's pressure.
"Go! Go!" He yells out they turn to run and see Kanan running towards them, Kanan jumps and spins once before firing another Kaze no Kizu at them. This time they have enough time to dodge.
"Chidori Nagashi!" Kanan exclaims throwing his arms to his sides as an electrical discharge flows from his body, the large lightning current tearing through the area around him. The current catches Ming-Hua and electrocuted her. Suddenly they are surrounded with slabs of metal, bent by Lin Beifong. Wei and Wing add onto the pile, backed up by guard captain Kuvira and more guards.
"We have you surrounded." Kuvira said, "It's over."
"This is far from over." Ghazan snarled as lava begins to flow out from underneath the pile.
Lin uses a rock pillar to propel herself away from the deadly lava, and Kuvira and another guard do the same with their metal cables. The metal cage holding the criminals slowly falls apart under the magma.
"No way! That guy is lavabending! That's awesome..." Bolin said, before realizing the looks he got from Mako and Asami. "ly not good for us."
"You won't escape." Kanan says.
"Chidori Eisō!" Kanan exclaims creating another lightning spear skewering the fleeing Zaheer. Kanan alters the spear's shape into multiple additional blades skewering the other three as well.
"Korra!" He yells.
"I got it!" Korra exclaims releasing another gigantic gust of fire from her mouth about to incinerate the four intruders. P'Li turns around grunting painfully and combustionbends creating an explosion next to Kanan forcing him to dissolve the spear and jump back.
Zaheer and Ming-Hua combine their bending and stop the large fire blast. Ghazan bends more lava in front of them, as the four wounded criminals turn to run.
Kanan and Korra jump into the air before smashing their fists down onto the ground, the combined strength of both of them almost causing a small earthquake.
Zaheer and his group are almost swallowed by the created ruptures in the ground before Ghazan bends the earth shut, Zaheer bends up the dust into a cloud creating a cover, as the four finally escape.
Later in Suyin's office, Suyin rests her right hand on her chest relieved that everyone was okay, though Lin angrily turns to her half-sister, her fists clenched to her sides.
"How could you let this happen!?" She almost yells. "You assured me this was one of the most secure places in the world."
"It is. I don't know how this happened." Suyin said. "Obviously this was a well-planned operation, so don't blame me."
The door opened and guard captain Kuvira entered. "We searched the entire estate." She reported. "There's no sign of them."
"Well, keep looking! They can't have gotten far." Lin said. Kuvira gives a bow and departs.
"It seems they had inside knowledge of Zaofu." Kanan calmly adds. "They must've been working with someone."
"The guards." Korra adds. "It had to be one of them."
"I agree." Aiwei said.
"Question them all!" Suyin said furiously. "Whoever betrayed my city will suffer the consequences!" She then storms off.
After a few lengthy investigations, Korra, Kanan and Lin are looking through a one-way window, as Aiwei interrogates a guard, he looks at them and shakes his head, signaling that this man is not the culprit. Korra looks at Kanan defeated, who had a pondering look on his face as Lin nods to Aiwei to question the next suspect.
"What was I doing last night?" The next subject, Varrick said, as he slams his hands on the table. "Same thing I always do. From nine to ten, I checked my body for ticks. Lyme disease is a serious killer. Then I did my nightly Varrick calisthenics, followed by thirty minutes of breath holding. I filmed the whole thing if you want to watch it."
"That won't be necessary." Aiwei sweatdropped.
Korra has a hand on her mouth, looking like she is about to laugh even Kanan looks amused. Suyin has two hands clasped in front of her mouth.
Varrick and his assistant leave the interrogation room and close the door behind them.
"Maybe it wasn't a guard after all." Lin said. "Maybe it was someone a little higher up the food chain."
They turned to the window, where Aiwei was interrogating a eighteen year old man named Hong Li.
"Do you have any knowledge of the people who tried to kidnap the Avatar?" Aiwei asked.
"I didn't." Hong said.
For some reason, Aiwei stiffens and leans forward. "Did you help the attackers enter Zaofu last night?" Aiwei asked.
"No, of course not." Hong claimed.
"You're lying." Aiwei calmly said.
"What!?" Hong said shocked. "No, I'm not!"
Suyin storms into the room and walks up to him. "How did they get in and out?" She demanded to know as she grabs him by his armor and pulls him out of the chair and slams him against the wall. "Where are they now?"
"I don't know!" Hong said fearfully. "I'm telling you, I didn't help them!"
Kanan forms a slightly suspicious look on his face as they watched the truth seer leave.
At Hong Li's house, as they search for evidence. Team Avatar and Aiwei searching for clues. Bolin walks to the kitchen and opens the oven before closing it in disappointment. He stands up and opens a small cupboard above.
Mako is separating some papers on a desk. He picks up a small written note. "I got something!"
"What?" Bolin said with a mouth stuffed with cookies.
"It looks like it's from them." Mako said, holding up a letter.
Asami walks up with a book in hand. Aiwei takes it and opens it as Kanan leans over to look. "Guard logbooks and their schedules." Kanan said.
"That guard knows everything." Korra said. "We have to get him to talk."
"Let's go confront him with this evidence right now." Mako said.
"No. Let's give him a little time to sweat it out." Aiwei calmly states. "He will talk eventually."
Kanan's suspicion only grows.
A few moments later, Team Avatar is studying the cooled down moat from last night. Naga and Byakko are walking around, sniffing the rocks. A few Zaofu guards watch over the crime scene.
"I don't understand why we're not talking to that guard right now." Mako said. "Every minute we waste here, those guys get further away. How does a random guard get involved with a group of super criminals anyway?"
"Good point Mako." Kanan said. "It wasn't the guard." The others turn to him.
"The guard looks barely over eighteen. Zaheer and his gang have been in prison for more than thirteen years." Kanan explained.
"I don't know, but we all saw the evidence." Korra said. "It's pretty overwhelming."
"A little too overwhelming? Don't you think." Kanan pondered, stroking his chin. "If I was trying to set someone up, I would tell everyone he's guilty and then plant the evidence in his apartment as proof."
"Ah yes. I did the same thing with Mako." The group turns to see Varrick with Zhu Li who's collecting the cooled down magma stones.
"What are you doing here?" Asami asks.
"These stones are great for skin care." Varrick adds before walking away, having collected enough.
"You're right." Mako said, turning back to Kanan. "All the evidence points to this guard, but maybe he's just the fallback."
"But for who?" Bolin asked.
"For the only person who can truly keep a secret in this city." Kanan pointed out.
"Aiwei." Korra says.
Team Avatar are standing outside Aiwei's house. Bolin peeks into the window. "He's not home. Or he's hiding in there. Or he's invisible." He said. "Probably just not home."
"We have to get in there and find some evidence that links Aiwei to Zaheer." Kanan said, unlocking the door. "Otherwise I doubt Suyin will believe us."
As they enter, Asami flips through a book on a table. "It's just an empty book."
Bolin gains interest in a jar on Aiwei's bookshelf.
"Bolin, put that back!" Kanan told him. "We don't want him to know we were in here if we can't find anything."
"Isn't he a living lie detector?" Korra remarked.
"If you remember, he can read you guys but not me." Kanan points out.
Bolin moves to put the jar back, but is hesitant. "You forgot where it goes, didn't you?" Mako said, who puts the jar back on its shelf a few inches from where it originally was.
"Wait a minute." Korra said, kneeling down next to the end of the bookshelf. "These look like scuff marks. I think this bookshelf slides open."
Kanan and Mako put their backs to it, making the shelf slide aside to reveal a cellar.
"What do you think is down there?" Korra asked.
"Could be a storage cellar." Kanan said. "Or it could be how Zaheer got in and out."
"Aiwei's coming back!" Asami said, looking out the window. "Quick."
The group run off of the stairs and slide the bookshelf back where it was, as Aiwei enters.
"What are doing in my house?" Aiwei said. "You are trespassing on the property of one of the highest-ranked officials in the city. You'd better have a good explanation."
"We came here because things weren't adding up." Kanan said, stepping up. "And we thought you might have some answers."
"Now, what is not adding up exactly?" Aiwei asked, walking towards the bookshelf. "Hong Li was clearly lying and we found evidence in his apartment."
"But don't you think it's weird how young he is?" Korra pointed out. "How did he ever get mixed up with this group?"
"Perhaps through a relative, or maybe he was bribed." Aiwei theorized. "We will find out those answers in time. But if it wasn't him, who do you think it was?"
He moves the jar back to its original spot. "You don't think I had something to do with this, do you?"
"We're just looking for answers." Korra said.
"And you think you've found something, don't you?" Aiwei said, noticing the bookshelf has been moved, he turns to the teens. "You have no idea what is coming for you, Avatar."
Aiwei metalbends his stairs upward. Mako firebends at the new wall, but it has no effect. Korra metalbends into the wall, but only makes a small rupture.
Korra manages to break through the wall, and the gang run to the cellar and open the door, only to find a bomb, which promptly goes off, but Kanan forms a large water wall to protect himself and his allies from the impact.
Seeing a small opening nearly covered by debris. "He must've escaped through there!" Kanan pointed out.
"Help me clear it out." Korra said.
Bolin and Korra do so with earthbending to reveal a tunnel entrance, as Lin and Suyin run into the room.
"What happened?" The older sister said. "We heard an explosion."
"Your trusted adviser is the one who betrayed us." Kanan said, turning to Suyin. "He was lying about the guard."
"We confronted him and he bolted through here." Korra added.
Lin uses her seismic sense on the tunnel. "He must have collapsed the tunnel behind him."
"And he rigged an explosion to destroy any evidence that might have been here." Kanan remarked. "Pretty smart actually."
"This is where Zaheer got in and out." Mako said. "Aiwei was the traitor."
"I... trusted him." Suyin said saddened, just as Kuvira runs in. "Aiwei is a fugitive. Get all available guards to search the mountainside, and find out where this tunnel exits immediately!"
Kuvira obeys, and Lin walks over to comfort her sister.
Later that day in Suyin's office, where the Beifong sisters, Team Avatar are sitting.
Kuvira rushes inside the room. "We located the end of the tunnel, but there's no sign of him. Just some fresh tire tracks." she reported before leaving.
"I trusted him with my life." Suyin said enraged. "I thought we were family, but it was all a lie."
"Whoever these guys are, they are more powerful than we thought." Mako remarked.
"Korra and I kicked their asses." Kanan scoffed.
"That's why we have to find them." Korra said, standing up. "We're going to hold off our search for airbenders and hunt down Aiwei. Naga and Byakko can track his scent."
"And I bet if we find Aiwei, we'll find Zaheer." Asami added.
"No! We're not hunting this group." Lin told them. "There could be other secret agents in other parts of the world looking for you right now! I'm taking you back to Republic City, where I can protect you."
"If I wasn't safe here, then I'm not safe anywhere." Korra told her. "I have to stop them! I'm the Avatar. This is my job!"
"Don't lecture me about jobs!" Lin told her.
"Enough! Korra, listen to Lin." Suyin came between them. "Please. Lin's only looking out for you. I promise you, Aiwei and everyone he's working with will be brought to justice."
"Everyone should get some rest tonight. I'll have my people prep your airship and you can leave in the morning." Suyin said.
At Team Avatar's apartment, where they are getting ready to set off on the hunt for Aiwei, there's a knock at the door.
Korra opens it to find Suyin. "You really think Naga and Byakko could track Aiwei?" She asked suddenly at once.
"Definitely." Korra told her.
Suyin hands Korra car keys, who looked surprised. "There's a jeep packed with supplies on the east gate. It's all gassed up and ready to go."
Hearing what the keys are for, Kanan quickly snatched them away from his girlfriend. Asami having told him about the horrible driving lesson.
"I want you to hunt down Aiwei and bring him back to me." Suyin said.
"But didn't you say back there-"
Suyin raised her hand to stop Bolin.
"I said what Lin wanted to hear and I bought you guys some time. Go. I'll deal with Lin in the morning."
That's about it for this one.
For the lemon, I read a 5000 word article about women and their first experience with anal sex. So yeah I did my research.
