Asami the Korrabender

by Raziel12

But as powerful as Korra was, there was one person who was even more powerful, a person who could, with but a flick of her wrist, command the Avatar who commanded the elements… her name was Asami.

Avatar-Level Pranking

Asami was enjoying a nice, hot shower. Well, she had been. No sooner had she adjusted the water to just the right temperature when it was suddenly icy cold. Letting out a loud and inelegant squawk, she fumbled at the taps, sighing in relief as the water finally took on a more normal temperature – and then got icy cold again.

Things only went downhill from there.

She had just finished putting her shampoo in her hair when the water stopped entirely. No amount of fiddling with the taps could get the water going again. Her eyes narrowed. She'd gone over the plumbing for this place herself. It was flawless. There was only one explanation.

It was petty, but Korra wanted to get Asami back for the prank the other woman had pulled. Convincing Korra that she'd invented a sentient killer robot was not cool. So messing around with the shower water with her bending was a fitting form of revenge.

And then Asami emerged from the shower wrapped in a towel and with shampoo still in her hair. She grabbed the nearest thing she could find – a pot plant – and stomped toward Korra with murder in her eyes.

"Hey… Asami… put down the pot plant."

"You were messing with the water, weren't you, Avatar?"

Korra gulped. Asami only called her that when she was seriously pissed. "Uh… no?"

"Wrong answer."

Korra decided that discretion was the better part of valour and ran for it. Asami was right on her heels with the pot plant.

"Asami, put down the pot plant!"

"Stop running!"

"No, you put down the pot plant!"

Naturally, Tenzin chose that exact moment to arrive with Jinora.

"Um… what are they doing?" Jinora asked.

Tenzin stroked his beard. "It's something all couples go through.

"Really?"

He sighed. "I too once made the mistake of pranking your mother in my younger days. Fortunately for you and your siblings, her aim was not very good." He paused. "And the pot plant she threw was much smaller than the one Asami has."

Author's Notes

As always, I do not own Legend of Korra. I am not making any money off of this either.

Because Korra has a habit of biting off more than she can chew, and nobody – not even the Avatar – pranks Asami Sato.

As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
