! ! ! ! !
Summary: Team Avatar goes to jail! Korra gets abducted! And Mako's still an idiot.
Korra sighed, just because she had given up on Mako didn't mean she gave up on Republic City. She did her best to keep her distance from Mako, she stopped skipping meals, and she stopped trying so hard. Living on the same island as Mako and Asami wasn't so bad anymore. She no longer felt the pain when he would kiss his girlfriend, and she no longer hoped that it would be her that he had his arm around. She would watch the couple, and instead of envy or anger, she would just smile, she caught Mako looking at her smiling, but did she care? No. All she had ever wanted was for him to be happy, even if it was not with her. "Korra that is true love." Pema said to her, after she described her situation. "What is?" Korra blinked. "Wishing more for his happiness, then for yours, dear, it gets better I promise." She said rubbing her pregnant belly. "Part of my heart will always belong to Mako, he was my first love….but he's in love, and I can't stop him." Korra said as a bitter smile crossed her lips.
"Tarrlock! Let them go they haven't done anything!" Korra screamed as Team Avatar tried to release the people that were being corralled into groups by metal bars. "This is a matter of the task force Korra, this no longer involves you." He said to her as members of the task force restrained her, then they loaded Asami, Bolin, and Mako into the back of the police van. "They have interfered with matters that do not concern them, we are taking them in." Tarrlock said as Korra tried to get free from the hands that were holding her. "Don't worry, I'll get Tenzin, he will help!" Korra said looking at her friends. "Go." Bolin said to her hopefully.
"I'm sorry Korra there is nothing I can do." Tenzin looked at her apologetically, "they're going to have to stay here for the night." They left the police station and returned to Air Temple Island. Hours later a disgruntled Korra made her way back to Republic City to confront Tarrlock.
Im Sooooo sorry I can't write down everything from Korra and Tarrlock's confrontation, but I just don't have time So yeah, Tarrlock blood bends Korra, and the kidnaps her and hides her away.
Mako and Bolin sat quietly in their cell he tried his best to remain calm, but his thoughts kept drifting back to the hot-headed mocha skinned girl. Korra… he thought. That night she had told him she'd given up, he could feel it, she was serious. He could feel all the pain that she had kept hidden away disappeared. Thanks for letting me love you City Boy… he remembered her words, and a chill crept through him. "Mako? Are you alright?" Bolin looked at him. "Yeah, I'm fine." He lied. The bars of the jail cell spread apart, as Lin Biefong walked in "C'mon I'm busting you out." She said to the two of them. "Mako!" Asami said as she ran towards him, pulling him into a kiss, the scent of jasmine surrounding him. "Sorry to break up your lover's reunion but Korra's in trouble….Amon captured her." Mako dropped his arm from Asami and stared at Lin wide eyes, he couldn't believe it. "No…" he said, "she can't be gone…." The four of them raced back to Air Temple island.
"Do you have any leads?" Mako questioned as they walked up to Tenzin's desk. "No, I've been on the phone all morning." He said shocked looking at the jail birds that were standing in front of him. "Well if the Equalists have her then they're probably hiding her in one of their underground tunnels." Lin thought. "Underground…just like my fathers' hidden factory…" Asami said as she looked down. Mako didn't know what to do, he felt as if he had lost Korra forever. He thought to himself, Please Korra…Come back safe.
(S/N: GOD ASAMI MADE ME MAD WHEN SHE SAID THIS I N THE SHOW LIKE C'MON ASAMI NOT EVERYTHING'S ABOUT YOU KORRA'S BEEN KIDNAPPED SO STFU. Okay rant over, back to the story)
They raided the Equalists tunnel finding the metal benders from Lin's police force, they had all been stripped of their bending, but the search for Korra came up empty. They went to confront Tarrlock and found out the truth about him being a bloodbender. But it was too late, he bloodbent all of them and caused them to pass out.
They woke up hours later. "Korra" Mako said out loud "We have to find her!" They all rode on Oogi in search of the Avatar. Then they heard Naga howl as they flew over the city, Tenzin and Lenzin ran up to Naga. "Korra! Thank goodness!" Tenzin exclaimed "Tarrlock? Where is he! How did you get away." Lin added. Without thinking Mako walked up to her, "Give her some space!" Mako said as he picked her up, carrying her to Oogi. Asami glared at Mako as he carried he girl in his arms. Mako looked down at her; her tan skin was now covered in cuts and bruises. They all sat quietly as they rode the sky bison, Mako never let go of Korra, he brushed a scar on her cheek with his thumb. "M-m-mako." Korra groaned, her eyes half open. "I'm so sorry Korra…" He whispered, "Shhhhh…." She silenced him as she drifted back into unconsciousness. "You're safe now." He said as he cradled her face with his hand.
Korra woke up in dim room, as she sat up pain spread through her. "Oww…." She said clutching her abdomen. "Korra you're awake." Her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she realized she was lying in her bed, Mako sitting in a chair next her bed. She tried to sit up again, but Mako's hands gently pushed her back down. She gave in and laid back down, "How bad is it?" She asked Mako who was staring at Korra's scars. "The healers were in here working for two hours, you had a lot of scars and cuts, and some electrical burns." His gold eyes glowed in the darkness. "Oh…." Korra's eyes drifted to the bandaged that covered her arms. "How long have you been here?" her ocean blue eyes found his face which was being lightened with moonlight, "They told me to leave, but I didn't. So I'd say a couple hours." He scooted closer to Korra folding his arms to rest on her bed.
"I'm so sorry Korra." He said, looking into her eyes. "No, this was my fault…" Her voice drifted almost inaudible. "Don't blame yourself." He said trying to comfort her. Korra broke down into sobs, "I….I…was so terrified…." She could barely breathe. "It's okay now Korra, I'm here…I won't let anyone hurt you." Mako embraced her tenderly. Korra knew that nothing between them had changed, he was still with Asami, but just for this moment, she let herself be totally taken over by him. Just for this moment, I'll imagine that you could've been mine. They stayed like that, in silence, Korra relaxing in his arms.
