Chapter two: Trouble in Republic City
While Korra stood there in the snow she watches the young man slowly disappear into the distance unaware of the smile across her face that is until Katara nudge her with her elbow startling Korra "he's cute" Katara stated bluntly "MASTER KATARA" Korra yelled slightly embarrassed "what I'm just saying, if I never met Aang and if I was your age…" Katara trailed on only for Korra to interrupt with her covering her ears chattering nonsense "lalaalaLALAA. I'm not listening" Korra panicked while speed walking back to her polar bear dog. "What I'm just saying Korra. If your not to careful someone else will snatch him up" Katara teased as she watch Korra ride off on naga back to the compound. Looking back to the sky "he tries to be hard and rude but deep down he's just like you Aang sweet and kind" Katara thought while one tear streamed down her cheek.
When Tenzin's family and Lao finally got back to Air Temple Island Lao carried the sleeping children off the Flying Bison and into their rooms tucking them in their beds. Before he walked out of their room he looked back at the peaceful slumbering children off in their personal dreamland. Lao smiled and whispered goodnight before he shut their door walking back outside he noticed a very groggy Tenzin helping his wife off the flying bison and heading to the house. Lao picked up his bag and made it back to his room he rummaged through his closet and pulled out a box. He grinned when he pulled out his super suit "those damn kids are crazy…ah hell ill give that hero business a shot" Lao thought to himself as he suited up.
Lao stepped outside into the chill of the night while he admired his suit "damn this thing makes me look intimidating while showing off my muscles. Shoot I'm gonna have to beat girls off with a stick…I like it" Lao joked to himself while he continued down the steps "Glad to see that the suit fits you Lao" slightly jumping Lao turned around to see both Tenzin and Pema standing side by side "I..I thought y'all where asleep" questioned Lao. "We live with three children. We hardly get any sleep" Tenzin said in a spirit crushing tone "We know what your about to do and we just want to say-""Please be careful" Pema stated cutting off Tenzin "C'mon guys ill be fine. I have a healing factor after all" Lao smiled while he pulled on his mask "I'll be back by mornin" Lao shouted over his shoulder while he continued walking down the steps. Tenzin placed a comforting hand on Pema's shoulder "he will be fine Pema. Now let's get you into bed" whispered Tenzin soothing Pema's nerves.
Lao ran from rooftop to rooftop until he came to a sudden halt sniffing the air the stench of blood, death, and…what seems to be the stink of a rabid animal. He shifted his direction and fallowing his scent took off in a full sprint "there is no telling what this wild animal could do if it had the chance" Lao spoke to himself slightly afraid of the possibility. Lao peered over a building studying an alley way. At first Lao believed his scent might have been wrong however, just as he was about to leave a stocky teen about his height with slick jet black hair with a single curl that dangled in front of his forehead came running out of the darkness with fear in his eyes. The teen tripped and fell face first on the pavement of the street, the teen rolled over his light green shirt and grey pants covered in blood "wh-who are you…and what do you want from me" the teen stuttered in a petrified voice. "What I want? Well I was hoping you benders would put up more of a fight, I do enjoy a good hunt… however you punks disappointed me. As for who I am…well I go by many names but my favorite has to be…Sabretooth" The man called Sabretooth glared showing his fangs while his claws grew out at the tip of his fingers. "he seems familiar…his scent is familiar…" Lao snapped out of his thoughts and leapt of the building landing right in front of the shaking teen. Lao slowly raised up growling at sabretooth "Back off bub. Unless you want this to get nasty" Lao threatened while studying Sabretooth. He stood a good foot taller then Lao and he wore dark steel toe biker boots with pitch black pants that had a metallic skull as a belt buckle. He also wore a dark trench coat that had minor tears all around his arms, underneath his coat he sported a slightly dingy dark brown T-shirt. His physique was monstrous compared to Lao and the shaky teen, Sabretooth's long dirty blonde hair draped over his shoulders and he had two fangs on his upper teeth that where easily visible which made him all the more intimidating. "Ahh. I was wondering where you ran off to runt" Sabretooth stated. Lao was uneasy with the smell of death that seemed to loom over Sabretooth with his sinister glare…almost as if he was death himself. "What's the matter runt…sabretooth caught your tongue? You would have lunge at me by now." "Don't worry bub. I was just distracted by your ugly mug" Lao growled as he got in his fighting stance *SHINK* "ooh shiny" Sabretooth joked as he took of on all fours sprinting while snarling at Lao like a wolf. Lao was speared to the floor by Sabretooth's speed and force "what's the matter runt. I thought*smack* you'd*crack* put up*pop* more of a fight*crack*" insulted sabretooth while he held Lao's head against the floor with one hand and with the other he repeatedly slammed his fist into Lao's face "why can't I move? Why am I so afraid… who is this guy?" Lao thought to himself as he struggled under the weight of Sabretooth. The next thing Lao noticed was a barrage of rocks soaring and pummeling into sabretooth's skull "ARRRRGH YOU LITTLE BENDING PUNK" Sabretooth howled at the stocky teen who was shaking in his fighting stance "I...is that all you g..Got? Cause y...Your not so tuff…Sabrekitty" The teen taunted. Sabretooth roared popping out his fangs and claws unintentionally getting distracted "NOW'S MY CHANCE" Lao shouted to himself. Lao summoned all of his strength to overcome his fear and with all of his might he plunge his claws into the ribs of Sabretooth "AAAAARRRRRGGHHHH" Lao snarled while Sabretooth's mouth gasps open. Lao slowly got up while raising Sabretooth from the ground staring into his eyes in which Sabretooth just smiled "very good "Wolverine"…*Shink* Well keep in touch…little brother" Whispered sabretooth as he slowly preyed Lao's claws from his ribcage while simultaneously thrusting his boot into the center of Lao's chest sending him flying back into the teen. When Lao scrambled back up to face Sabretooth it was too late he was already gone "owww" Lao spun around to see the teen laying on the ground rubbing the back of his head "oh shi- hey man you alright?" Lao uttered quickly jogging to help the teen up "Yeah I'm fine. Are you some kind of metal bender? And what's with the goofy costume?" the teen questioned "THE COSTUME IS NOT GOOFY" growled Lao making the teen stiffen in fear "Look…my name is Wolverine what's yours" sighed Lao "Wolverine?...that's a Terri-…I mean awesome name" the teen corrected himself rubbing the back of his neck. Lao raised his eyebrow underneath his mask *Cough*"My name is Bolin, the handsome and charming earth bender of the extraordinary fire ferrets" Bolin stated while flexing his muscles "Well "Bolin" id hurry and get back home to mommy and daddy before they worry where your at ok" Lao joked. Bolin grew quiet while a look of sadness took over his face "I…I never knew my parents. They died a few years after I was born" Lao felt the pain in Bolin's voice and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder "Hey. Look I'm sorry… I didn't know, however they did raise a good kid. You could have run away when that brute was beating my face in, but you stood up, man up, and hurled rocks at him. Your parents raised one hellava brave kid" Bolin whipped his watery eyes and gave Lao a smile that seemed like it came from Meelo himself "sooo… do you have a place to stay?" questioned Lao as he took his hand off of Bolin's shoulder. "Yeah I live with my brother at the pro bending arena" Bolin pointed to the obvious gold building in the middle of the city "oh good well you better get on your way then" Lao uttered while he began to walk away "Hey, Wait!" shouted Bolin. Lao turned around to see Bolin jogging towards him "Do you want to… I don't know take a tour of the Arena?... I'm not asking you to come along because I'm scared. I thought it would be a good reward, for you know…saving me" just before Lao was about to answer a mouse scurried out of the alley and between Bolin's legs. Bolin squealed and jump into the arms of Lao, both of them shared a look and in an instant they roared into laughter
Lao fallowed Bolin up the steps to the upper parts of the Arena finally reaching what looked like to be an awkwardly small studio apartment "HELLOOO. ANYONE HOME?" Bolin shouted looking around the kitchen. All of a sudden a very tall, lean and good looking teen came running around the corner clenching an old rundown red scarf "BOLIN? WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU" The teen yelled while pulling in Bolin into a sibling embrace "WHY ARE YOU COVERED IN BLOOD?...DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM" the teen shifted his attention from his brother to Lao threatening him by summoning fire from his palm "WHOA WHOA WAIT. Mako its ok. This guy saved me from this gigantic man-beast who slaughtered half the triple threat triad. The killer thought I was apart of there group and chased me across the city and just as he was about to kill me Wolverine jumped in and kick the dudes butt" Bolin explained while standing between Mako and Lao with his arms spread out wide and eyes clenched shut "Wolverine? What kind of stupid name is that?" Spat Mako as he smothered the flame in his palm. Lao aggressively walked towards Mako "DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS OUT SIDE PRETTY BOY *SHINK*" Growled Lao as his claws popped out in front of Mako's face. Mako remained calm and both of his hands were engulfed in flames "I appreciate your help I really do. I just don't trust someone who hides behind a mask" Lao's claws slowly slid back in his hand while simultaneously Mako's flames extinguished "how do I know I can trust you" Questioned Lao "because if we planned to do something Bolin would have already knocked you out by now" Lao slowly turned his head and peeked over his shoulder growling at Bolin which made Bolin shoot his hands up in the air shaking both his hands and head. Lao sighed "I hate to admit it but I guess your right… and if you do try anything I can easily gut the both of you like a fish" Lao's hand ran up his face slowly taking off his mask and revealing his identity. Mako's eyes were wide open in shock "he about our age… I thought he was a cop or something" thought Mako while Bolin leaned over the counter trying to sneak a peek. "My name is Lao. I'm nineteen years old. And I am the Wolverine" the two brother stared in shock that someone around there age was capable of such skill and power. "Lao… thank you for saving my little brother Bolin and…sorry" Mako murmured while extending his hand in front of Lao. Lao studied Mako making sure this wasn't some ruse "Don't sweat it bub" uttered Lao in a croaky tone while shaking Mako's hand giving his hand a firm squeeze. "Sooo. Who wants a drink?" Bolin questioned holding a jug of milk, just before Lao was gonna answer a red ferret scurried up his leg, wrap around his neck, gave Lao a few licks on his cheek and leaped towards the counter crawling up Bolin's arm "What the hell is that thing" asked Lao as he raised his eyebrow. "This little adorable fur ball of joy and happiness is named Pabu" Bolin chuckled while Pabu's whiskers brushed against his ear. "Thanks maybe next time Bolin I actually have to head back. Maybe ill try to make a pro-bending game. I did hear y'all on the radio once" Lao stated while heading down the steps "OH REALLY. YOU'RE A FAN" Bolin squealed in an overexcited tone "uhhh… no. I was actually rooting for the other team" Lao answered slightly laughing rubbing the back of his neck. Bolin frowned "ahh come on dude. Why did you have to tease with my emotions like that" All three teens laughed at each other
Lao stayed out the rest of the night stopping muggings, jumpings, random acts of vandalism, and equalist kidnapping attempts however Lao was still unclear about their motives. Lao rested on top of a bank building looking out towards the harbor dangling his legs over the edge of the building smoking his cigar "Damn good for a first night id say. And can that Sabretooth guy really be my brother… why couldn't I move… as soon as I got face to face with him I lost the ability to move which almost got me killed. If he did kill me Pema would find away to get to the spirit world and she'd kick my ass and kill me again" Lao joked to himself. Lao looked out to see a cargo ship bringing in the latest goods. Studying the satomobile insignia on the side of the ship "Maybe I should invest in a satomobile…or better yet a satomotor bike" Lao said to himself while he stood up. he watched the hatch of the door to the ship lower down and a enormous white Polar Bear Dog zoomed past the dock workers and disappeared into the buildings and the congested streets. Lao's jaw dropped at the sudden excitement " .Way. She actually found a way to get here" Lao couldn't help but burst into a hysterical laughter as he tossed the cigar off the building. "ahh man this is gonna be fun" exhaled Lao sarcastically
Lao caught the ferry and was able to get back to the island at around noon. He made his way up the steps until he noticed a furious Tenzin storming out of the house "Yo, Tenzin wait up" Lao shouted as he took of into a run towards the steaming Air nomad "where's the fire Tenzin?" Lao questioned catching up with Tenzin "ITS KORRA. SHE SOME HOW FOUND A WAY TO GET TO REPUBLIC CITY AND NOW SHE IS ARRESTED" Tenzin sputtered pacing back and forth "As soon as I get her out I'm gonna ship her back to the southern water tribe" "Tenzin hold on" Lao interrupted stepping in front of Tenzin "Look Katara wanted me to convince you in letting Korra stay here… Your mother wanted you to train her here on Air Temple Island" "DON'T BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS" Tenzin instantly interjected. "Look ill think about it but now I really need to go to the police department and get her out first" Exhaled Tenzin as he boarded a ferry and took off to the police station.
Korra leaned against the ship looking out towards the city as it glowed beautifully in the dark. Korra rested her chin on the palm of her hand in deep thought "is Tenzin really going to send me back…why won't he train me? And Lao… I was hoping I could see him a couple of more times really get to know him. Katara is right he is something" A smile grew across her lips thinking of Lao she even let out a small chuckle when the thought of her teasing him again popped in her mind. "Listen Korra" Tenzin pronounced snapping Korra out of her day dream causing her to face him "Your right Korra. I've done my best to protect my father's legacy in maintaining the safety of Republic City but it's like you said. The city needs the Avatar" Korra glowed with happiness while hugging Tenzin lifting him off the ground "just make sure you keep the vigilantism on the down low ok. Lin Biefong also informs me of the vigilante called "The Wolverine" ruining her city and blames me for his actions" Informed Tenzin. "The Wolverine?" Korra questioned raising her eyebrow "Its Lao, That's his hero name. The kids even made him a super suit" Tenzin answered sounding exhausted from today's events. Korra broke into a fit of laughter "Lao a hero? As if. He isn't the friendliest or approachable type so I find it hard to believe that he can be a hero" Korra explained to Tenzin while trying to stifle her laughter.
When both Tenzin and Korra docked on Air Temple they were greeted by Pema and the kids. The kids bombarded Korra with hugs while Tenzin walked over to Pema. "Pema can you show Korra where she will be staying…I'm going to go lay down" Tenzin exhaled while he slumped up the steps. "Korra fallow me and ill show you where you'll be staying ok" Pema stated while she lead Korra inside their home. Walking down the corridor Pema presented Korra her new room "And here is your room make yourself nice and cozy, the bathroom is right across the room." Korra walked into her room placing her bag on the bed while Naga lay next to the bed on the ground. "Umm Pema… Where is Lao?" inquired Korra while she pretended not to be interested. Pema smirked knowing full well that Korra had it bad for Lao "He's out doing his hero thing he should be home soon he didn't want to be out to late…almost as if he was expecting someone to come over and he didn't want to miss him or HER" Pema teased sending Korra a wink while she headed out the door "oh before I forget. Lao's room is right next door. Just incase your interested" winked Pema as she exited the room. Korra felt her face blush and her eye twitch "THAT'S IT ME AND PEMA NEED TO SERIOUSLY HAVE A TALK… after I see Lao" Korra thought to herself as she walked out of her room heading outside.
Korra stepped outside and saw someone in a orange and black skin tight suit walking up the steps "there is no way that is Lao" thought Korra as she eyed the man walk up the steps. When Lao reached the top he took of his mask and realized a young woman was standing outside of the house. A large smile came across Lao's face "thank you Tenzin…I know how difficult she can be" Lao thought to himself while he continued walking towards Korra. Korra studied Lao's body "I knew he was muscular but WHOA… was he working out since he was a baby? His chest is wide and solid going down to his slim waist almost forming a V. his arms are huge and with his mask with their soulless white eyes he looks intimidating" thought Korra as she watch him walk closer however once he took off his mask and when she saw hi soft brown eyes the intimidation flew out the window and was replaced with warmth and security. Korra crossed her arms as Lao stood in front of her she couldn't fight it. She had to smile. "I told you we would see each other soon" quipped Lao "how did you know that?" Korra jokingly asked "must have been a lucky guess… I thought I told you not to do anything stupid when I left" Korra's happy expression was instantly replaced with rage "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN" Korra shouted with venom in her voice. "it means. You were here for only one afternoon and you were arrested… That's pretty stupid if you ask me" Lao joked with a smirk was visible on his face. Korra grabbed Lao by the collar of his super suit and pulled him in close that her nose brushed against his and in a seductive voice Korra whispered in Lao's ear her lips brushing against Lao's ear sending chills up his spine "And…I thought…I told you…TO STOP BEING AN ASS" While Korra shouted her last words she thrusted her knee into Lao's groin. Lao fell over while he coughs up a lung and Korra stormed back to her room "WHY DOES HE ALWAYS HAS TO RUIN THE MOMENT" Korra shouted in her mind. "GRRR WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM KORRA" Shouted Lao as he slowly regained his composure. Unknown to them Pema was watching everything from the garden with Jinora "I thought you said they like each other mother?" questioned Jinora as she flinched when Lao was delivered a cheap shot between his legs. "They do sweetie. They just don't know it yet, they're to busy fighting their feelings they're practically blind and don't even notice how much they drool over one another" Pema informed Jinora as she placed a hand on her shoulder "well I once read in a book that opposites attract and that when adolescents really like each other they tend to be stubborn with each other and some even like when they get in a conflict. But they're teenagers, they can't act like little kids can they?" Jinora asked while scratching her head. "Love makes us do stupid things sweetie. You'll probably be in there shoes soon enough" Pema answered in a sarcastic tone. "now lets let those love birds cool off Jinora" Pema stated smiling from ear to ear.
