Ch 3: The Test

"YOU DID WHAT BOLIN?!"

He flinches, "W-Well… I found Raava and she said she'd help us as long as we share some of our information about our investigations… particularly about the Avatar…" Twiddling his fingers together.

"Bolin! Are you serious? Why the hell would you promise something so important with a stranger?! Who knows if they're trustworthy!" The captain scolds while frowning.

"Unbelievable! Bro I can't believe you promised something so important with stranger! What happens if she shares it to other people? Our future tactics and operations might get foiled!" His brother reaffirms their captain's statement.

"But-"

"No buts bro, tell her sorry and that the deals off." Mako says sternly.

He pouts "Asami…." looking at her with pouty lips and some anticipation.

"Sorry Bolin, I have to agree with Mako on this one. No can do, the Avatar is the most wanted vigilante in Republic City right now so we can't take any risks…"

He frowns again, "But… um well… I kind of already told her to come here…" Laughing slightly.

Both of them scream in unison "YOU DID WHAT?"

The whole team jumps a bit when someone knocked on their door. "Excuse me, is this Team Seven? I'm looking for Bolin," a female voice penetrates through the door.

Whispering with frustration while smacking his shoulder, "Bolin!"

"Ow!"

"Oh you are kidding me…" The captain facepalms herself with her eyebrows scrunched.

They all look at door and then at each other, "Well what should we do? Ignore it?"

"What! That's rude you guys, she's right outside!" Bolin protests.

"Hello," she calls out again.

Shoving his brother forward, "This is your problem. Go turn her down nicely," he says with a stoic voice.

"Aw come on guys! You weren't this upset when I told you I was going to do this?!"

"I didn't think you'd actually find someone! In the first place-"

*Korra's POV*

Her ears twitched as she stood there listening to their conversation, "Hmm well they all sound reasonable and seem to have great qualities... Bolin has the courage to get help from strangers when they need it. Asami seems to have the guts of a real detective, patience and stubbornness... As for Mako, well… he seems smart enough not trust anyone…" Smiling to herself she knocks one last time, "Is anyone there?"

No response.

Raava smirks and starts talking to herself out loud purposely so they can hear, "I guess I'll come back later then... What a shame I was getting somewhere to." She slowly starts stepping away from the door and hears someone running towards the door.

Bolin slams the door open, "W-Wait! I'm sorry Raava, my team was just a bit skeptical and it took me some time to convince them!"

Pausing in place "Hey no worries, I understand. Police and informants like me usually don't get along too well sometimes." Smiling with understanding.

"W-Well come in!" Bolin stands aside and holds the door open for the woman.

Korra smiles before walking inside, immediately seeing two annoyed faces, "So that's Mako… and Asami, it's been a while..." Walking in with confidence, "Hi it's a pleasure to meet you two, the names Raava," extending her hand with no avail. Asami glances down at her desk and quickly closes a case file before looking at Mako. They glance at each other for a split second before giving Raava their full attention.

"Look Raava… It's seems like my brother promised you information in return for looking into the Avatar. I'm sorry but no can do, we can't exchange information with citizens like this." Crossing his arms while standing more upright.

Korra makes a smile which sent chills down Asami's back "What the… her eyes… it's that same feeling again why?..."

Letting out a soft chuckle "Don't worry, I figured this would happen," she shrugs while glancing at Bolin. "Well, it's a pleasure meeting you all and it's a shame we can't talk about the Avatar or other crimes… and here I thought I could get a physical description to match it with this… this 'night prowler' that's been surfacing around here and there lately. Oh well I guess I'll take my leave then…" Walking towards the door.

All of their eyebrows arched up "W-Wait, no way you found something already Raava? But I just asked you this favor last night!" Bolin says excitedly.

Raava continues walking to the door, "Well I am an information broker, I make it my business to know everybody's business."

Bolin whistles in amazement and right when Raava was at the door Asami called out to her, "Wait…" Rubbing her temples, she lets out a hard breath before speaking "Are you sure that this… this 'night prowler' you're referring to is the right guy?"

"Asami!" Mako retorts.

Korra smirks deviously before turning around, "Yes I am an info broker. You can trust me, I keep tabs on everything and especially things that sparks my interests, including the Avatar. I even got some info on you guys..."

They all freeze: "For example Bolin, I knew who you were when I first met you of course, it's not hard looking for a detective in the crowd. Mako, Bolin's older brother, you quickly rose the ranks with your talent and became a detective shortly after joining the Republic City Police force. And Asami, the captain of Team Seven, one of Chief Beifong's most promising team captains who is in the lead for the race of discovering and arresting the Avatar… But of course this is just child's play and if I wanted to, I could find out: Every. Single. Little. Detail. About your lives..."

The captain looks at the woman surprised but let's out a breath, "Hmfp, that is basic knowledge that anyone can find out with a little search."

Raava chuckles "Okay I don't' know you guys on a personal level but, Bolin at first glance you are a sweet, kind hearted and loving guy. However, behind all of that you are loyal friend who is passionate for what you believe in. Mako, looking at the state of your desk, you are a serious and determined workaholic meaning you are the type of person who typically spend their nights here. And Asami… by the way you carry yourself you display the maturity of any senior detective despite your young age. And looking at your beat up watch and bag, you are mostly likely from a wealthy family yet it remains beat up. Meaning you dislike abusing your connections and are humble and dependent… Did you want me to continue?"

Bolin stood there with his mouth agape "N-No wayyy. Wow! Did you see that?! She's spot on!" Grinning with a sense of pride.

The other two stood there silently "..."

"I can go on if you like however, by the way you two have been looking at the clock, you must have a suspect… hm no a victim to talk to. But, before you ask how I know, earlier you closed a folder when I came inside the room meaning that the information is confidential and possibly urgent. And judging by your actions…" letting out a chuckle, "From your guys current expressions I must be spot on and you seem to believe me more… so, do we have a deal?" Gesturing her hand with a display of confidence.

"... Deal, expect under one condition… If you can give us something about the Avatar that we haven't been able to uncover yet within a week, then the deal is off. Cool?"

Raava grins, "That's plenty of time." Bowing slightly, "Well then, I will take my leave now so farewell." She starts walking away in victory. Striding at a moderate pace, she listens in on the team's conversation as she left the room.

"Bolin!" Snacking his shoulder

"Ow" Bolin starts rubbing his shoulder.

Throwing his hands up, "Great now we're relying on an info broker! What does that make us? How are we supposed to be cops if we can't even investigate properly enough to rely on a citizen! And Asami why did you agree! You know we've be hilimualted before by trusting them!" Mako scruffs.

"Mako, I know the risks okay... But we've been in a stalemate for far too long so whatever help we can get is good… even if we have to rely on an info broker… besides I am your captain so you will respect my decisions." Sitting back down on her chair and pulling a file from her desk.

"Fine… I will but that doesn't make me happy."

In the distance Korra whistles, "Damn she's feisty what do you know… nonetheless maybe this will get me one step closer to my goal…" Once out of the police station, Korra walks to the alleyway and looked around. Seeing that the coast was clear, she quickly jumped onto the crates and started scaling the wall. Reaching the rooftop, she starts walking and hopping across the roofs towards her hideout. "Now then… what should I tell them… this city is running dry so it's about time I leave…" Making an earnest grin "I guess I'll have some fun before I throw this identity away…"

*five days pass*

Dressed in a pair of black running shoes, grey jogging pants, and a sleeveless navy blue hoodie with a white t-shirt underneath, Korra was in front of the police headquarters. "Hmm… I smell some C-4, well this should be interesting… anyways," stepping into the station with her head held up high, she sneaks a glance to her right and identifies the man with C-4 hidden under his clothes. Whistling nonchalantly with her hands in her pocket, she made her way to Team Seven's room. Knocking lightly on the door, "Hey it's Raava, I got some some info."

"Come in," a female voice calls out.

Raava opens the door and steps in, "Hey," looking around, "Where's Bolin and Mako?"

Flipping through her case files, "They just left for lunch," she responds not looking up from her paperwork.

"Without you huh? That's lonely... (Let's see I give it about fifteen minutes before he makes a move). What to do… I can't keep you company because I have a prior appointment so I don't have that much time…" Leaning against the table while resting her hands on the desk immediately next to the captain.

Asami hums jestering Raava to continue.

Looking down at the captain, Korra started tapping her foot, "You know… why don't we play a little game?" The woman doesn't respond and Raava smiles, "Well, this is probably obvious but my name isn't Raava… it's just a nickname I go by so, if you manage to figure out my name, I'll let you in on a secret…"

Asami had an unamused face and still wasn't looking up, "No offensive but I don't really care who you are or what your name is... and seeing that you came two days early, I assume you found something on the Avatar so, you can either tell me or leave my office."

Korra lets out a soft laugh "You really are feisty aren't you, alright..." Glancing at the clock "(Seven more minutes) okay let's get down to business. Rumor has it that this vigilante, the Avatar, only attacks during the night. This may seem obvious but this so called savior is definitely a night prowler and according to the words on the street."

Leaning in closer for effect, "'Watch it for when the full moon is out' so they say." Laughing giving Asami an uneasy feeling.

"..."

"Still nothing huh, you won't to look at me… well maybe this will do the trick." Korra quickly pivots her body around the captain's and places her hands onto top of hers. Bringing her lips to the maiden's ears, "In less than three minutes a terrorist in a thick overcoat is going to commit suicide by blowing up the place."

Stunned, Asami wasn't sure what to react to: the fact that Korra had gotten really close to her all of the sudden or the information she just heard, "Wait, what-" turning around, her lips were an inch away from Raava's. She sat there frozen looking into her cyan eyes.

A few seconds pass with them staring into each others' eyes before Korra spoke up, "Well I don't want to die today so…" Pushing herself off the captain, "I'm gonna borrow this." Grabbing a riot baton, she tucked it in behind her pants before walking out at a fast pace.

"Hey! Wait! What did you mean about-" she was gone. "Urgh… what the heck is going on," quickly standing up, Asami pulled open her drawer and tucked her pistol into her gun holster and followed after the woman.

Taking a deep sniff, "He has a decent amount of firepower… seems like there's only one remote detonator... this should be easy." Listening to his heartbeat, it started beating quicker "Now." Turning the corner, the man was in the middle of standing up, "Hey buddy!" He looks at Korra who just stepped right in front of him.

Whipping out the baton, she quickly whips a blow at his head. Shocked, the man let out a grunt and fell back, "WHAT THE- WHAT THE HELL MAN!"

Twirling the baton in her hand, "That should be my line." Raising her hand, she starts to swing downwards.

Bringing up his arm to defend himself "HEY HEY HEY I DIDN'T DOING ANYTHING-"

Seeing what just happened, "RAAVA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Asami quickly started running over to them.

Feigning the blow, Korra slips her free hand into his coat and grabs the detonator. She tosses her baton aside while ripping open his coat, "You mean yet." Glancing over at the reception desk, the woman was speechless and stunned by what just happened. Looking at her name tag "Hey Officer Beifong, you might want to call your bomb squad." Sitting up Korra handed Asami the detonator as she stood there baffled.

"W-What?! Oh god," the receptionist quickly grabs the phone and dials for the bomb squad.

Purposely reaching intimately behind and down towards Asami's lower back, she grabs her handcuffs and turns around. Squatting down Korra quickly punches the guy, knocking him unconscious and cuffed together his wrists. Dusting off her hands, she turns back to the maiden, "Well then have fun," Raava snickers and smiles.

Scrunching her face "Ho-what… what the hell, how'd you?!"

"MOVE MOVE MOVE," the bomb squad quickly pushes past the captain and knocking her aside.

"W-Wait, hey! Don't get in my-" looking to the side, Raava was gone. "Ahhh DAMMIT!"

Her coworkers started calling her out, "Captain Sato! What just happened? Explain the situation!"

Asami grunts as she saw Raava walk away through the doorway with her hoodie on. She lets out a deep sigh before rubbing her temples, "Well… how should I explain this…"

AN: Ah to clarify things in case someone's confused, Korra has superhuman/enhanced abilities. :V If you haven't guess by now she basically has super senses like, extremely good hearing, good eyesight, super strength, etc…
