Several days had passed since Shou learned about Kuvira and he has been shut up in his room since, re-living every minute. Seeing the terror in her eyes and hearing the low gravely screams echo out from her mouth. The images of her hair, long and peppered with grey making it seem as though her eyes were about to pop out.
"Rohan I think you should try and get him to come out" Jinora suggested
"Why me? I think Ikki should" the siblings began to argue. Jinora broke the two up and pushed Rohan towards Shou's door, he knocked on it.
"Uh Shou? You've been in there for three days, you need to come out" a white light ceased from under the door. "Shou open the door." Rohan pounded on the door. He ran to get Kuvira to have her metalbend the lock. They opened the door, Shou was in a fetal position against the back wall. Rohan whispered to Kuvira
"What should we be doing?"
"You can go and see how far we are from Omasu, I'll handle this." Rohan muttered in protest but Kuvira gave him her signature eye glare and he walked into the main room.
Kuvira entered the small bedroom, walked over and sat on the floor next to Shou.
"They're everywhere." Shou said in a quiet, deep and raspy voice. "I went to sleep and they were everywhere, they looked so beautiful." he looked up at Kuvira
"What did you see kid?" He shuddered and stared at nothing.
"I don't know" his eyes began to flicker a white light and he screamed grasping his head. Kuvira moved to her knees and placed her hand upon his back.
"Shou look at me. Shou?!" he responded to Kuvira but spoke with the voice of thousands
"What is this."
"Breathe Shou, breathe" That didn't help because he already fainted. She caught him and placed him on his bed and stared at him for a moment. She left the room and locked the door. Entering the main room her eyes were wide. Everyone stood and to everyone's shock Jinora approached her.
"What happened in there?"
"He's an Avatar."
"What do you mean he's an Avatar, isn't there only supposed to be one?" Meelo butted in.
"No he's not, I would've been able to feel Ravva's spiritual energy."
"I know what I saw" Kuvira snapped "He was like flickering in and out of the Avatar state. I think he was going in and out of the spirit world somehow."
"I didn't think the traits of an Avatar can be passed down genetically." Ikki added
"We should radio Asami and see if she has any idea about this."
The group rushed over to the table with the radio and began to call Future Industries.
"Future Industries how may we help you."
"This is Chief Kuvria I need to speak with Ms. Sato immediately."
"I'm sorry chief but Mrs. Sato just locked up her office and is on her way home" Kuvira muttered with her hand on her face.
"You have legs don't you?" she said with her teeth gritted and her hand still to her forehead.
"I'm sorry what was that?"
"Use your legs and get Sato on this radio now!" There was shuffling with the mic and then silence for around ten minutes before Asami began to speak
"What happened? Is Shou okay? Kuvira, talk."
"Asami" She said with a sigh "Shou is both biologically your son and Korra's, correct?"
"Yeah...? Why do you ask?"
"How?"
"Well, we had talked about wanting a child but we had zero clue of actually where to start. So Korra reached out to Ravva to see there was any spiritual way to do this and there was. Ravva told us that Korra could basically a small part of my spirit and hers and make a child." Kuvira threw her hand up as a sudden realization/reaction. It all made sense now, Korra's spirit also included Ravva.
"Asami thank you."
"Um Kuvira, if I may, why did you guys need to know that?"
"Sato it'll all make sense once we get back to Republic City." They all said their goodbyes and hung up.
"But the question still stands, why is he not giving off the same spiritual energy that Korra did?" Rohan asked
"I think there may be two Avatars." Jinora added with a worried face.
"Well the nutso dude was right about there being an Avatar on the airship, so I say we continue on to Omashu and whatever else he said." Meelo interjected. Everyone agreed.
Footsteps entered the room. Everyone diverted their attention to their ragged counterpart. Shou looked like he was about ready to fall over. Rohan rushed to grab him and sit him down.
"I saw him." He said in a low ragged voice
"Shou who did you see?" Jinora asked as she kneeled down to see his face
"Rodden" Jinora's face became puzzled
"Shou who's Rodden?"
"He's here for the death of me and the other Avatar, but he can't do it" The room went silent and everyone's blood went cold. Kuvira spoke trying to change the topic for a minute.
"Did you know?" Shou looked up.
"About?" Everyone's face became confused.
"About you being one of two Avatars?"
"Oh that, not really. I mean my mom thought she might've somehow 'passed on' a part Ravva to me. She was astonished when she figured that I could bloodbend-" Jinora interrupted
"Wait you're a bloodbender? Since when?"
"Since I was 17. My parents were just as shocked as you all are, that's when my mom started questioning if I was an Avatar. She tried training me but I refused, I was pretty content just being my waterbending/bloodbending self, so we never really talked about it again."
"So there's a crazed man after you and your literal other half and you didn't think to say 'hey guys umm you've got 1⁄2 of your mission done, because guess what, I'm an Avatar."' Kuvira chimed in in the most sarcastic tone she could muster.
"I didn't really think it was overley important." The argument began to get heated so Jinora separated the two.
"This is not the time for arguments about what things were kept from who, okay?" the two nodded in agreement, Jinora turned to Shou. "Do you have any connection to this 'other Avatar'?"
"Somewhat, it's not really like a prominent connection to him."
"If we went to Omashu would you be able to like 'sense' his spiritual energy Jinora?" Ikki wondered "I mean if you couldn't feel Ravva's energy from Shou, chances are that the other Avatar has a better connection to Ravva."
"That's a very high possibility." Jinora said in a slow and drawn out voice.
