The moment Korra rounded the corner she fell to her knees, throwing up the contents of her stomach. She squeezed her eyes closed as she heaved and retched rain pouring down over her back. Thunder roared over as rain poured over her, her hair slick against her face as she tried to collect herself. She wasn't drunk. Suddenly, another wave of nausea came over her as she started to dry heave. Okay, so maybe she was a little drunk but she could still make it home. She pushed herself to her feet and stumbled forward, toward the edge of the docks. Korra dragged her eyes over the edge of the dock until she spotted her small skiff which was still tied to a pole.
Korra stumbled over to it, tripping over her feet and falling into the boat, she hit her head on the edge letting out a groan as she pushed herself to her feet turning to try and undo the rope letting out a sound of triumph when she managed to pull it up and off. She took a knee composing herself before standing up and bending the boat into open waters.
Korra moved the boat through the rough waters, doing her best to ignore the water that the boat was taking on and focusing instead on the light on the horizon. Korra swung her arms a little too widely causing the boat to capsize sending Korra into the cold water. She struggled not to swallow water as she moved forward, taking a deep breath before ducking under the boat. Korra's head broke the surface just in time to see a large wave threatening to overtake her causing old, nearly forgotten instincts to kick into high gear.
Eyes glowing blue Korra bent the stormy sea up around her body in a vortex as she raised her arms up, the raindrops stopping mid-air.
"Korra,"
"Korra,"
"Korra,"
"Korra,"
The sound of voices echoed in her skull, the pressure of hundreds of voices vied for her attention. Her eyes flickered as she reached up to cover her ears with her hands, water spout began to lose velocity.
"Leave me alone! Get out of my head!" Korra yelled as she spun around, throwing her head back as her eyes flickered on and off.
"You…you…you…"
"Are…are…are…"
"Needed…needed…needed…"
"No. I'm not." Korra scoffed eyes finally returning to their ocean blue and the vortex stopped spinning and the waterbender was quickly pulled down by gravity. She collided with the hard asphalt of the road, bearly managing to push herself to her feet. Just as she turned around, Korra was blinded by the lights from an oncoming car barely managing to raise her hands up before the collision.

The muddled sound of people talking overlapped one another as Korra slowly came to. Her head throbbed and she couldn't focus as she forced her eyes open. The world swam in front of her eyes as she groaned rolling her head to the side, "Quick, stabilize her neck."
"On it." The feeling of a pair of hands on either side of her head caused Korra to look up and see a man smiling down at her. "Hey there. Can you tell me your name?"
Korra furrowed her brows up at the man as she tried desperately to recall the piece of information, "K-ka-" The word was on the tip of her tongue but her head throbbed and she was having trouble focusing on anything. "Kor-"
"It's okay if you can't remember."
"No, it's not." The other person hissed but Korra couldn't quite comprehend why that was bad just that it was.
"My name," Korra slurred. "My name is Korra." She finally managed to get out but her mind bearly processed what she just said.
"That's great Korra. Can you focus on me Korra?" The man asked and Korra gave what she hoped was a nod.
"Keep her head stabilized!" The other man yelled and Korra tried to glance at him put found she couldn't move her head. Korra looked up at the man, his face blurring as her mind struggled to stay conscious. The throbbing was getting worse and her vision began to go dark at the edges.
"Korra, I need you to focus on my voice. Can you do that?" The man's voice sounded far away as if it were coming from deep underwater. Her eyes drifted closes as one of the men yelled, "She's fading fast. Tell the driver to step on it."

Korra was jerked back into semi-consciousness from the feeling her body being her jerked slightly. "Careful. We don't know how badly she injured her neck." Korra watched groggily was the light flew by overhead, blurring together as she was moved down a hall as she let out a weak noise of protest.
"Hey there." The man from before appeared in her vision. "Welcome back to the land of the living, Korra."
"Where..." Korra slurred, dragging her eyes from the left to the right taking in the sterile environment.
"You're in the hospital. Do you remember why?" The man asked and Korra squeezed her eyes closed, racking her brain for the reason.
"N-no."
"You were hit by a car." He spoke and Korra remembered the sudden influx of light followed by pain.
"Oh. Talk about bad luck." Korra mumbled, rolling her eyes and the man laughed.
"Bad luck is one way to put it. Listen, I'm going to ask you a series of questions and I need you to answer to the best of you ability. Understand?"
"Uh-uh."
"Can you tell me who the current mayor of Republic City is?"
Korra squeezed her eyes shut, groaning at the pain of trying to remember. She tried to roll her head to the side but found it held firmly in place.
"Okay. Okay." The man muttered, "Do you know who the current CEO of Future Industries is?"
Korra's eyes snapped open and she looked wildly around, "I-I know this one." Korra furrowed her brows, "It's Ah-Asami S-Sato."
"Yes. That's right." The man smiled, "Good job."
"Wh-where is Asami? She's was with me, I think?"
"You were alone. There was no one else."
"No!" Korra yelled, shaking her head, "She was with me." Korra furrowed her brows again. "I was with her?" She tired to shake her head again. "W-we...We were together."
"Can I get something to calm her down?"
"On it."
A prick in her arm and suddenly the panic she had been feeling began to fade as her head swiveling to the side as she continued to mutter. "We were together."
Several voices overlapped with one another as Korra began to fade back into unconsciousness.
"She's fading fast."
"I don't think she's goin-."
"Her BP is-"
And then darkness claimed Korra once more.
