Although having rested plenty, I was woken up by a knock on the door and heard Iroh call out. "Kanna? I apologise if I woke you, but there's something we need to discuss." Hearing the severity in his tone I quickly got up and pulled on my clothes and shoes, dressing as I moved towards the door before I opened it.

"What's going…?" When I saw two police officers behind him, Iroh looked at me sadly.

"I'm sorry, a warrant for your arrest was sent out and I couldn't lie to them." Confused as to what was going on, the two officers, dressed in full combat armour and looking at me with prejudiced disgust, one of them spoke.

"Kanna of the Southern Water Tribe, you are under arrest for suspicion of using blood bending. Come with us quietly, or we will resort to the use of deadly force." What? What's happening? Where did all this come from?

"Don't make this hard for us kid, just come quietly." Chief Beifong revealed herself then as Iroh stepped back, opening the door so that I was stood there facing three metal bending police officers, Lin looking at me sternly but not unkindly.

"What are you talking about? Lin you know…I don't understand."

"Five members of the Triple Threat criminal group were arrested last night, three were unable to use their bending at all and still have not recovered. Eye witnesses put you at the scene of the arrest and fighting against them. I'm sorry kid, you're gonna have to come with me." This was just great, now everybody thinks I'm some kind of rampaging blood bender who can't control herself.

"I didn't blood bend those guys! I chi blocked them!" I yelled, balling a fist and slamming it against the door frame as I started to seethe in anger, shaking all over and I felt the temperature suddenly drop around me, growing cold and each huff of air created a cold cloud as I exhaled. "They were the ones who cornered me first, they figured out that I was friends with Korra and also Aang's granddaughter, they were going to kidnap me and ransom me for money because I had nothing of value worth stealing then and there. General Iroh was the one who rescued me, he saw me there! Tell them! Tell them I didn't blood bend anybody!"

"It's true, her attack style was that of chi blocking." Iroh said in my defence, making Lin blink before she recovered, returning to her stern chief façade.

"All the same, I'm going to need you to come down to the station and make a statement. If it is true you chi blocked them, then you did a damn good job of it since their bending still hasn't come back. There will have to be a trial, but…"

"Are you freaking kidding me?! A trial?! Why is everybody suddenly turning on me like I'm a freak? I haven't done anything wrong, why am I being treated like some kind of damn criminal!?" This time I punched the wall, bruising my knuckles and scraping off the skin as I dented the metal and in my anger, released a powerful burst of energy which caused the moisture in the air to freeze all around us and from the outside, something slammed against the ship and caused it to rock and sway, the waves starting to grow choppy and angered alongside me.

"Kanna! Calm down, you're freezing the water in the air!" Iroh called out to me, quickly steadying himself as everybody was surprised by the sudden rocking. "I can testify in your defence, you're not going to jail, I promise." But I'd had enough, I'd had enough of it all. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. There was so much pent up anger inside me that I felt like I could drown the entire world as I shoved Lin aside and started to storm off, the two officers making to catch me but Lin stopped them.

"Let her go. The kid's had a rough night." Iroh glanced at Lin before following, but he didn't stop me from getting off his ship. I didn't know where to go or what to do, but I was worried about Korra so I decided to sneak back onto the island. It wasn't a hard thing to do since I'd done it numerous times before, skiing over the water on an ice board before propelling myself up the side of the island cliffs around the back, climbing the rest of the way before I then snuck into the temple. There were a few people around, voices that I recognised but they only made me angry again so I ignored them and continued until I was able to pull myself up and through into Korra's window.

"Kanna?" She'd just woken up, beginning to push herself upright as I quietly slipped inside then brought myself over to her, helping to prop her up as I touched a finger to my lips in order to signal we should whisper.

"Hey Korra."

"What's going on?"

"A lot has happened since last night. I'm going to be honest with you, it's not good." Then I told her everything. I unloaded onto her everything that I'd kept secret before all about the blood bending, starting from Amon to now and how everybody had reacted, what they'd said and how they'd confronted me in Tenzin's office and then how I'd left. I told her about Mako recoiling from me when I tried to shake him off, going to the city on Oogie and then everything that followed after that, and all the while Korra just sat and listened. "I don't know what to do Korra, I don't even know where to go. Lin put out the warrant for my arrest and Iroh had to report I was on his ship, they let me go this time when I explained I only chi blocked those guys, but when word gets out everybody's going to start coming after me…"

"I won't let that happen." Korra told me with more strength then than I'd seen in her in a week. She was looking at me steadily, neither showing comfort nor disgust, just looked at me with trust and understanding. "No matter what Kanna, you're my closest friend, my sister since we were kids. I won't let anybody put you down as a monster or a criminal, when I know you're one of the best people who exist in this world."

"Korra…"

"We'll figure it out. I'll talk to Tenzin, try to get him to understand. If you used blood bending to protect us, then I don't care. If you say it doesn't have to be a bad thing, then I trust you on that too. I'm on your side Kanna, you've always got me." Releasing the tears that I'd been holding back, I quietly cried against Korra as this time, she held me in her arms and comforted me, stroking my hair and reassuring me as the sun started to rise over the horizon.

Once I'd calmed down we made a plan, the two of us deciding together what was best for the both of us, mostly for Korra's recovery, without consulting anyone else. It was just us, and only us who we could depend on. With everything so rapidly changing, we had to prepare ourselves for whatever might happen next, as well as hope that Korra would be able to recover the use of her legs soon. "The Red Lotus have to still be out there somewhere." Korra worried, looking utterly defeated as I brushed her hair for her, sitting behind her as she lowered her head. "They're not gonna stop, are they?"

"They will. We'll make them. If they want chaos then they better be ready for hell when we bring it to them." I answered confidently, focusing on my task at hand. "Besides, they can't hide forever. Whilst you recover and heal, I'll figure out something and try find out where they're all hiding."

"It's not going to be that easy."

"No, but it's a start." Korra fell silent, though whether or not I had made her feel any better about it all, I couldn't tell.

"What did Asami say about you being a blood bender? Have you told her?"

"No, she wasn't part of the mob that came after me, and when I got to the city I didn't want to drag her into it. She's just starting to get her company back on its feet, I didn't want to bring her down by associating with me when the news got out. It would put her in a real difficult situation."

"I don't think she'd care." Korra said to me, turning her head slightly as I started to put her hair up again into its usual style. "Asami is like that, it wouldn't matter to her that you can blood bend or who you used it on, because she'd know just like I do that you would never use it to hurt someone unless they deserved it." I knew that too, deep down, Asami was just too kind and understanding to be the trype to push me away.

"It's just…my own family. Not so much my mom and Uncle Bumi, but Tenzin…you should have seen the look on his face Korra. Not just him, but everybody kind of looked wary. Bolin even looked scared, and that was just soul crushing. They don't understand it, so they naturally fear it, but they just don't get how useful it can be. How powerful too. I know I could save lives, become an even greater healer than my mom and grandmother, but…" I couldn't go on. I didn't even know how to face my family, or even if I should.

"Whatever you decide to do Kanna, I'm with you." Korra said to me so I couldn't help but smile and put my arms around her, holding her as I tucked my chin over her shoulder.

"I love you Korra." I said to her with all the truest meaning I possessed, holding her a little tighter. "I'd be so lost without you."

"I love you too." She replied naturally, the both of us resting in one another's arms with the closeness of sisters, as if we truly were bound by blood, and I knew whilst lying there that no matter what happened, it would be okay. Somehow, everything would work out and even if they whole world fell to ruins, I would still have Korra by my side, and we'd face the end together.
