Lao snored in his bed with Lien cuddled on his right and with Korra slumbered on his left resting her head on his chest slightly drooling. The sun light slowly beamed through the window slightly hitting Lao on the face waking him up from his deep slumber. Lao sluggishly open his eyes to see his daughter sleeping in peace on his right and Korra snoozing on his left slightly drooling on his chest. Lao took noticed that even though Lien was his clone and had most of his physical features she somehow had similar features of Korra. They both had almond colored skin and the same gorgeous long brown hair and when Lien frowns she looks startling like Korra. "When I first woke up in the woods I had nothin… I felt lost…no past…no home…no family. But now… with my daughter by my side…and this amazing beautiful strong woman sleeping next to me…I feel like I found…where I belong." Reflected Lao as he pulled both Lien and Korra closer to him. "…. As long as there is air in my lungs and blood in my veins… I won't let anything hurt y'all" Lao whispered as he kissed Korra and Lien on the forehead. Korra groggily woke from her slumber slowly lifting her head off of Lao's chest with some left over drool on the corner of her mouth. Lao looked at Korra's messy bead head and began to chuckle "err…what's so funny" Korra whispered still half asleep. Lao ran his hand through her hair undoing her pony tail watching in awe as her long flowing brown hair fell gracefully to her shoulders. "You look…like a mess…it's actually kinda cute especially with the drool on the corner of your mouth" Lao teased as he pulled her closer. Korra playfully pushed Lao away as she wiped away the drool from her mouth but then she paused "did…did you just say I was cute" Korra questioned. Lao immediately felt his face began to burn as she accused him "oooh yeah that's a good question Lao" Lao swiftly turned his head to his right seeing Lien staring at him grinning with anticipation. "wh-what the hell… how long have you been awake" Lao questioned as he frowned at Lien "I woke up when you pulled me and Korra close and whispered your promise" Lien stated as Korra raised her eyebrow at Lao "and what promise was that huh" Korra interrogated as she pulled Lien to her side so she can fix Lien's own bed head. Lao watched as Korra truly acted like a mother towards his daughter Lien, almost as if she considered Lien her own child "its nothing important…now go hurry up and brush your teeth kid" answered Lao as Lien took off to the bathroom. Korra was about to go freshen up as well until Lao grabbed her wrist and stopped her dead in her tracks. "…why are you doing this" Lao questioned as he looked Korra deep into her cyan eyes, Korra stared back confused by his question "what do you mean Lao" Korra asked as she sat back down next to him. "Why did you agree to be Lien's mother…most people wouldn't have jump and taken that responsibility especially when the kid isn't even their own" explained Lao as he waited for Korra's answer. Korra pondered this question and the truth is she didn't even know why she agreed it just felt right "I don't know why…its just felt right you know…when I look at her I see a younger and more innocent version of you that I want to be there for even though I know she technically isn't mine" Korra answered as she slightly looked away. Lao smiled as he playfully tackled Korra then the next thing they knew they where playfully wrestling trying to overpower one another. Lao was surprised at how strong Korra was but he easily pinned her to the bed as he stared at the beautiful woman beneath him. Lao slowly lowered his head as his lips got closer with hers while Korra wrapped her legs around Lao's hips. Lao took in Korra's scent as he tilted his head but stopped when he noticed Korra's mischievous grin across her face "oh shi-" Lao uttered but was caught off when Korra flipped him over making both of them fall of the bed and land on rough floor with Korra now on top. Lao lay on the ground slightly moaning in pain as Korra giggled leaning over to whisper in his ear "slow down there darlin, you didn't think it was going to be that easy did you? You have to take me out to dinner first" Korra teased as she chewed on his earlobe. Korra moved lower and started to playfully kiss his neck but then she started to bite down a little bit harder making Lao moan with pain and pleasure. "Hey so when is breakf-WHOA WOW…uhh how about next time you guys lock the door if you want some alone time" Lao and Korra quickly looked up to see Lien standing at the door covering her eyes slightly giggling as she closed the door while Korra and Lao stared at the door both embarrassed of their position. Lao slowly started to get up only to feel Korra put her hand on his chest and push him back down as she looked down at Lao with a sly look. "where do you think your going Lao" Korra stated as she pulled her hair back "I was about to get up" Lao explained as he stared at Korra's beautiful figure and her gorgeous flowing brown hair. "oh you mean like how you "got up" like yesterday morning" Korra teased giving Lao a wink as she got off of him while Lao face went red "I-I was…grrr…your not gonna let that go are you darlin" Lao exhaled in defeat "oh you can bet on that darlin" Korra teased as they both left the room to go freshen up for breakfast.

Lao and Korra both entered the dinning room to see Lien sitting next to Pema and Jinora giggling as Lao and Korra sat together at the table. Pema wiped the corner of her mouth with her napkin then looked over towards Lien "so Lien how old are you" Pema questioned as she took another bite of her breakfast "uhh…to be honest I'm not sure, I don't even have a birthday" Lien answered shyly. "Well that is unacceptable. Lien we are going to give you your first birthday tomorrow ill make the arrangements" stated Tenzin surprising everyone "oooh we should go to the city and get Lien a present come on Lao lets go" Korra stammered excitedly as she pulled Lao out of his seat and drag him out of the house. Lien giggled at how Korra and Lao where perfect for each other even if they tried to ignore their feelings "Pema im glad you let me stay with my dad and my mom on the island" Lien thanked Pema as she left the table "oh sure it was no- wait what, your mother" Pema answered but quickly caught what Lien said "yeah Lao's my dad and last night Korra agreed to be my mom" Lien stated as she took the dishes of the table and took them to the kitchen. Pema stared blankly as she tried to process what Lien just revealed to her "when those two get home I need to have a word with them" Pema thought as she went to go help Lien with the dishes.

Korra dragged Lao store to store trying to find the perfect gift for Lien "come on Lao get the led out" Korra shouted as she pulled Lao by the hand. Lao fallowed Korra until he noticed a small pet store "how bout this" Lao questioned as he stopped dead in his tracks " PERFECT" Korra shouted excitedly as she pushed her face against the glass windows observing the exotic animals "I was about her age when I got Naga and even the Tenzin's kids have their own flying lemurs, a kid needs a pet" Korra stated as she rushed into the store. Lao noticed all the amazing animals in the stores most of them where hybrids like deer dogs, fire ferrets, frog squirrels and so much more but none of them caught his attention until he noticed a kennel that said "half price puppies" "hey bub. Why are those dogs half price" questioned Lao as he walked over to the clerk "they are not like the rest of our fine animals of republic city they're just generic single breeds of dogs however I can interest you in-"explained the clerk but was caught off guard when Lao simply walked away from him to make his way to the dogs who where deemed unworthy to the "fine animals" of republic city. Lao peered down at the kennel and noticed different breeds of dogs as they stared back at him "uhh Korra what kinda dogs are these" Lao questioned not taking his eyes off the dogs. Korra walked her way to his side and noticed all the different types of dogs in the kennel "uhh how about you read their tags" Korra mocked as she pointed at the labels "GRRR…whatever" growled Lao as he started to read their labels while Korra laughed at his frustration "how about this one Lao" Korra yelled half way down the isle. Lao rushed to her side and noticed the fluffy and pink skinny dog "its called a poodle what do you think huh" Korra asked as she crouched to look at the pup "uhh I think its to pink…remember she is my daughter" Lao explained as Korra shot back up to face him face to face "You mean our daughter. Don't forget that" reminded Korra as she playfully pushed Lao out of the way. Lao walked down the isle reading each label aloud "Doberman…nah to weird lookin…cocker spaniel…nah to girly…Pitbull…maybe…Australian Shepherd…to hairy…Bolognese…kinda small, don't wanna be walkin in the middle of the night and step on the little pup" Lao walked down each isle reading each breed of dog that is until Korra stopped dead in her tracks and look down at the big ear pup "LAO COME HERE" Korra shouted from three isles away. Lao searched for Korra down each isle until he caught Korra crouching in front of a kennel with her finger through the cage giggling. Lao took a knee next to Korra and looked at the pup who had ears a little to big for its head, the dog was a tricolor pup with a black fur that ran down its back like a saddle, with white legs, chest, belly and a white tip on the tail, and tan on the head and around its snout. Korra stood up and read the label aloud "the breed of the dog is called a beagle and it's a boy and he is about a few months old they live about ten to fifteen years. I wish we could hold him but to bad the cage is locked maybe we could ask the clerk and-" *SHINKT* Korra informed but was interrupted when Lao sliced through the cage and held the puppy in his hand. Lao raised the pup to his eye level as he sniffed the pups scent, the pup looked at the rough man and the beautiful woman who stood beside him as the pup also started to sniff at Lao but sneezed in his face. Lao shook his head in disgust while Korra snatched the pup from his hands "oh he is perfect. He is going to come home with us" Korra stated excitedly as she cradled the pup and carried him to the clerk. Korra plopped the pup in front of the clerk as she smiled at the man behind the register. The clerk smiled until he notice the man who rudely walked away from him stand next to her "now what is the reason you two decided to get a pup" the man asked. Before Lao could answer Korra beat him to it "for our daughter. Its her birthday tomorrow and a kid needs a pet" Korra answered as she handed the man the money. The man stared in shock at the unlikely pair that stood in front of him "a-a daughter…how could you have a kid wi-with this…barbarian" the man stuttered as he finished the transaction. Lao looked away as he felt the rage build up inside him, Korra instantly took notice of this and quickly snatched the receipt from the man "he is actually nicer than you think…plus…he is really good in bed" Korra informed as she scoped up the puppy sending the young man behind the counter a friendly wink and walked out the door leaving both men to stand in disbelief at what Korra just said "this girl is crazy" Lao thought to himself as he fallowed Korra out the door

Lao walked with Korra down the street as he watched her play with the pup that she cradled in her arms giggling whenever the pup playfully bite down on her fingers "so why did you pick this one Lao…I thought you would pick something more aggressive" Lao took the pup from Korra as he held the puppy in front of him "I don't know… I feel like Lien would love him and he would love and protect Lien as well" explained Lao as he stared at the pup tilting his head with the dog "admit it, you got him because you thought he was cute" Korra teased as she crossed her arms starring Lao down. Lao shook his head as he held the pup in his arms "well he is kinda cute…I guess" Lao confessed but then he felt a warm liquid flow down his chest "ARRGH C'MON. ARE YOU KIDDIN ME" Lao screamed as he handed the pup to Korra as he looked down at his now urine stained shirt. Korra broke out in to a fit of laughter as she continued to laugh hysterically at Lao's situation "well look at the bright side…at least it wasn't Naga" Korra explained in between laughs. Lao slowly turned around and gave Korra a sly look "what are you looking at" Korra uttered as she felt uneasy at Lao's mischievous grin. Lao slowly walked towards Korra as she slowly walked back "come here and give me a hug darlin" Lao stated as he grabbed Korra by her shoulders trying to bring her in while Korra fought him off "NO LAO STOP. STOP IT IM NOT KIDDING" Korra screamed as she tried to push Lao away. Lao eventually pulled Korra in and gave her a tight bear hug making sure she felt his misery. Lao let her go and began to laugh at her frustrated expression "oh c'mon darlin…it aint that bad" Korra didn't say anything as she stared at the ground not moving an inch. Lao instantly felt terrible and he slowly walked towards her "hey…im sorry I just thought it be funny you know" Lao apologized as he cautiously stepped towards her. Korra slowly raised her head to stare at Lao "I hope you enjoyed that Lao because tonight…im going to make you pay in the worst way possible" Korra whispered as she pulled Lao in close by the collar of his shirt and playfully pushed him aside as she strutted her way past Lao with the pup in her hand making sure to sway her hips as she left him standing there slightly shaking in fear "…shit…I knew I might have pushed it to far with that" Lao thought as he slowly fallowed Korra back to the island. They both eventually got to the ferry as Lao helped Korra on the boat and sat next to her. Korra slowly scooted next to Lao as she rest her head against his shoulder "sorry…I may have overreacted" Korra stated as the pup walked from Korra's lap to Lao's and plopped down yawning as he rested his head on Lao's lap. Lao slightly smiled as he ran his hand down the pup's head "sooo…. Your not gonna get me back for this" Lao questioned slightly relived that Korra was in a better mood. Korra slightly smiled as she leaned her head up to whisper in his ear "oh no…your still in trouble…and I'm sill going to make you pay tonight darlin" Korra teased as she slightly nipped Lao's jaw line resting her head back on his shoulder "ahh shit" Lao uttered as he ran his hand through his hair.

Lao and Korra made it to the island "LIEN COME OUT HERE PLEASE" Korra shouted as she walked with Lao up the steps holding the pup behind her back. Lien rushed out the door with Pema slowly fallowing her from behind. Lien stopped a few feet in front of them when she caught a scent of an animal as she started to sniff the air *SNIFF SNIFF* "eww…you guys smell horrible" Lien teased as she pinched her nose playfully fanning the air with her hand. "well that's a long story…but we actually got you an early birthday present and we want you to have it" Lao stated as he nudged Korra with his elbow giving her the signal to reveal Lien's present. Lien stared in shock at the pup that stared at her with its tongue hanging out of its mouth "OH MY SPIRITS ITS ADORABLE" Lien shouted as she pulled the pup in close and nuzzled her head against the pups soft fur while the pup licked Lien's face making her giggle at the sensation. Lao looked down at his daughter as she was filled with happiness which made him fell good inside to see her smile. Lien gently placed the puppy on the ground and pulled Lao and Korra in a tight hug "THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH…I love y'all" Lien stated excitedly as she gave them one finale squeeze "c'mon boy" Lien shouted as she ran back inside with the pup fallowing her. Pema smiled at Lien's behavior as she ran past her with the pup inside the house, Pema slowly walked towards Lao and Korra there was still something she needed to discuss with Korra and Lao. "soo…Lien has a father and now she has a mother apparently" Pema questioned as she crossed her arms in front of Lao and Korra. Korra walked past Lao and looked Pema in the eye "I know she isn't my daughter but I want to be there for her and I want to help Lao raise her, so yes I did agree to be her mother" Korra answered confidently as Lao stood beside her holding her hand as they both faced Pema. Pema sighed heavily as she pinched the bridge of her nose "fine…but be prepared for the way people are gonna judge the two of you especially since Lien already looks like she can be your daughter Korra" Pema stated as she gave the two a reassuring smile. Korra was caught off guard as she looked back at Pema "wait…what do you mean she already looks like my daughter" Korra questioned as she raised her eyebrow. Pema shake her head "uhh hello Korra. Lien has Lao's facial features but she also has your water tribe skin tone and the same long brown hair like yours. She already looks like she can be you and Lao's daughter." Pema explained as she giggled at Korra's sudden realization. Pema left the two standing at the steps slightly laughing at Korra's facial expression. "d-does she actually look like me" Korra questioned as she looked Lao in the face. Lao chuckled at Korra's question "yeah she startling looks like you especially when she is angry Korra" Lao explained as he place his hand on her shoulder "if this weirds you out and you want to back out I would completely understand" Lao explained as he gave Korra a reassuring smile. Korra raised her eyebrow as she grabbed Lao's hand "its going to take more than that to push me away…I ain't going anywhere…unless…if you want me to go" Korra stated looking down at her feet feeling self conscious. Lao lifted her head "I don't want you to go anywhere darlin" Lao whispered as he placed a kiss on her forehead making Korra blush and smile at the same time. Korra giggled as she wrap her arms around Lao's neck nuzzling her face between Lao's neck and shoulder. Korra noticed the bruise she left on Lao's neck a few days ago "does it hurt" Korra whispered in Lao's ear "no darlin it don-" Lao answered but was caught off guard when Korra licked the bruise on his neck sending chills down his spine. Korra smiled at Lao "well good…but im still going to make you pay tonight" Korra teased as she playfully pushed Lao out of the way making her way inside.

Lao watch with joy as Lien played with her pup like a kid should. Tenzin wasn't so happy that Lao and Korra got her a pet but he eventually accepted it and moved on with his duties. The day slowly came to an end when the sun went down and the moon began to rise, Lien laid down on the ground with the pup cuddled up beside her as she rubbed her eyes showing a clear indication she was drained from spending all day playing with her new pup. Lao smiled as he cradled both Lien and her pup in his arms and took them to Lien's room. Lao quietly placed Lien into her bed and laid her pup with her as he covered both of them with her blankets. Lao looked down at the peaceful child but his heart began to ache when he thought of the painful experiments and test she must have gone through all because they wanted a weapon just like him. Lao lightly kissed the top of Lien's head "goodnight kid" Lao whispered as he rubbed her head and started to walk out the door but notice Korra standing by the door smiling at him gleefully "Grrr…what" Lao growled in a hush tone. Korra giggled as she silently walked towards Lao "its cute seeing the soft side of you…its actually really attractive" Korra whispered as she placed a small kiss on Lao's cheek "she is beautiful Lao" Korra whispered as she wrapped her arms round Lao's looking down at Lien "thank the spirits she gets her looks from her mother and not the dad" Korra teased as she playfully bumped Lao with her hip guiding him out of Lien's room. They both walked down the hall until Lao realized that she was taking him to her room "uhhh where you taking me" Lao asked slightly nervous "what…I told you…im gonna make you pay" Korra whispered in a seductive tone as she pushed Lao into her room. Korra locked the door behind her and eyed Lao up and down "this is going to be fun" Korra thought to herself as she strutted her way towards the confused Lao. Korra pulled Lao in close by his belt buckle smiling at him seductively as she unhooked his belt pulling it through the belt loops of his pants. Korra tossed the belt across the room as she pushed Lao down onto her bed "shirt. Off." Korra demanded as she crossed her arms, Lao raised his eyebrow as he slightly stood up "what are you-"Lao questioned but was caught off by Korra " .NOW" Korra demanded in an agitated tone. Lao slowly lifted his shirt off while Korra licked her lips "now…pants" Korra demanded slightly blushing at her own demand "WHOA WHAT" Lao shouted completely caught off guard by Korra's demand "YOU HEARD ME. the more you resist the more ill make it harder for you" Korra explained as she tried not to get distracted by Lao's body. Lao hesitantly unbuttoned his pants and slowly slipped off his pants revealing his under pants, Lao's face went red as he felt Korra eye his body. Korra seductively smiled at Lao's body as she slowly walked towards him swaying her hips "good boy…now my turn" Korra whispered as she slowly lifted up her shirt revealing her light blue bra "k-korra..w-what are y-you doing" Lao stuttered as he tried to look away from Korra's beautiful body *SHINKT* Lao immediately covered his hands as his face burned bright red, Korra smirked when she notice Lao's claws pop out "I told you…I'm going to make you pay Lao…and I could tell your liking what you see" Korra teased as she traced her finger across Lao's claws and then pushed Lao on his back on her bed while she pressed her chest against his. Korra began to kiss Lao's neck making Lao growl with pleasure, Korra smiled against Lao's skin once she felt him slightly shiver in which Korra bit down on Lao's neck hard enough to make Lao moan with pain and pleasure. Korra grabbed Lao's hand and guided them up her thighs and let them rest on her backside, Korra enjoyed Lao's expression "why is she doing this…im not gonna lie…I really hope she doesn't stop" Lao thought as he gave Korra's backside a firm squeeze making Korra gasp as she bite down on her own lower lip trying to hold in her own moans of pleasure "I thought I was supposed to torture him not the other way around…time to take it up a notch" Korra thought to her self as she grabbed Lao's hand and pinned them above his head giving him a clear view of Korra's busty chest in front of his face "oh crap not again" Lao thought to himself as Korra smiled when she felt something poke her backside "someone got excited huh darlin" Korra whispered in Lao's ear. Korra released Lao as she giggled "there that was your torture" Korra winked at Lao as she rolled out of bed. Lao couldn't think straight as blood from his head had already flowed down south so he jumped out of bed and grabbed Korra by her wrist and pinned her against the wall growling against her neck "you think that was funny darlin…well two can play like that" Lao whispered as he started to kiss Korra's neck. Korra gasp as she began to shudder when she felt Lao's lips against her skin as he started to kiss down her neck. Lao let go of his grip on Korra's wrist as he put his hands underneath her backside so he could lift her up and lay her down in her bed. As soon as Korra was laid down in her bed she wrapped her legs around Lao's waist as he continued to kiss Korra's neck. Lao started to travel lower reaching Korra's chest making her moan and shiver more, Korra ran her nails down Lao's back leaving bright red trail marks and earning a moan from Lao. Lao stopped kissing Korra's chest as he looked in her beautiful ocean blue eyes and smiled as he ran his hand through her hair undoing her ponytail to reveal her gorgeous flowing brown hair. Korra blushed when Lao continued to stare "Wh-what" Korra stuttered as she looked away in embarrassment. Lao placed his hand on Korra's cheek and returned her gaze back on him "your beautiful darlin" Lao whispered as he rested his forehead on top of hers making Korra's face burn bright red. Korra closed her eyes as she raised her head while Lao simultaneously closed his eyes lowering his head waiting to feel the sensation of her lips on his. *KNOCK KNOCK* "Korra can I speak with you" Pema asked through the closed door making Lao and Korra freeze in fear. Korra panicked and kicked Lao out of the bed sending him crashing to the floor, Lao shot up from the ground as he mouthed the words "what the hell was that for" making sure not to make a sound. Korra pointed to the bed and also mouthed the words "HIDE" as fear was evident on her face. Lao crawled underneath her bed and waited while Korra slipped on her shirt and gathered Lao's clothes and threw them in her closet. Korra stopped and took a few deep breathes to regain her composer as she slowly open the door to reveal Pema "hey Pema what's up" Korra greeted as she smiled sheepishly at her. "I need to speak with you…May I come in" Korra felt her nerves began to build up but she moved aside to invite Pema in to her room. They both sat on her bed as Pema placed her hand on Korra's "I wanted to apologize…im just looking out for you and I don't want you to get hurt…not that im saying that Lao is going to hurt you its just…" Pema rambled as she ran her hand through her hair. Lao quietly hid under Korra's bed taking a bit offense from Pema's accusation "I wouldn't dream about hurting Korra" Lao thought to him self as he dare not move a muscle. Pema smiled as she looked at Korra "Lao is a good man so I know my worries are silly but I still worry…but im glad you two are getting more….acquainted" Pema teased making Korra slightly blush. Pema slowly got off of Korra's bed and walked to the door but stopped looking over her shoulder "oh…and one more thing…you better be smart and use protection Lao" both Korra and Lao remained still in fear as Pema smiled over her shoulder. "Pema…what are you saying its just you and me" Korra lied as she felt a chill go down her spine. Pema turned and crossed her arms "Korra please. You are both two teenagers who have a crush on each other and sleep right next door to each other it is eventually going to happen sooner or later" Pema explained as she turned back around heading out the door turning down the hall. Pema popped her head back into Korra's room "plus you left his belt over there on the ground…night guys" Pema revealed as she winked at Korra shutting the door behind her. Korra looked at the corner of her room and smacked her hand against her forehead as she noticed that she forgot to pick up Lao's belt. Lao slowly popped his head from underneath her bed "well…that was…interesting" Lao joked as he crawled his way out from underneath her bed. Korra pondered what Pema said "is Lao just using me…if I give myself is he just going to use me and just toss me away" Korra began to feel more and more insecure. Lao noticed her behavior and quickly slipped on his pants and sat beside her "you ok darlin" Lao questioned. "I feel like Pema has a point… your probably just want one thing and when I give it to you your not gonna look at me the same" Korra confessed as she slowly scooted away. Lao felt hurt that Korra would think that he'd do something like that "Korra… I would never hurt you like that…i…I care about you" Lao stated as he pulled Korra in close. Korra looked up at Lao and rested her head on his shoulder, Lao smiled as he carried her bridle style and laid her down on her bed and tuck her in. Lao smiled at the beautiful avatar laying in bed "goodnight darlin" Lao whispered as he kissed the top of her head. Korra shot up and pulled Lao down to bed with her "your sleeping with me tonight you got that" Korra demanded smiling at him. Lao chuckled as he shifted his wait and got comfortable in Korra's bed "we have been sleeping with each other for awhile Korra" Lao teased making Korra lift her head of his chest "do you want me to stop sleeping with you Lao" Korra playfully threatened, Lao chuckled as he pulled Korra in close slowly drifting of to sleep.

Lien woke up early in the morning making sure to get ready for her birthday "ive never had a birthday before…im so excited" Lien squealed to her pup that rested on her bed. As soon as Lien got ready she ran down the hall stopping at Korra's door slowly opening it. Lien peered into the room and noticed both Lao and Korra sleeping together, Liens pup pushed past the door and casually walked towards the bed. The pup looked up at the bed and took a few steps back as he leapt up onto the bed making his way up the mattress. The pup stared at Korra's face as it started to lick her nose, Korra slightly twitched her nose as she slowly started to wake from her slumber "MMmm…good morning to you to Lao" Korra uttered still half asleep as she slowly opened her eyes only to see the puppy panting in her face. Lien started to giggle as she slowly walked towards the bed "soo since when did Lao started to lick your nose good morning" Lien teased as she sat down beside Korra's bed. Korra shook her head as she turned to face Lien "sooo birthday girl are you excited about today" Korra asked as she brushed aside Lien's hair out of her face. Lien eagerly shook her head "the best present besides my puppy has to be having you as my mom and Lao as my father" Lien stated which made Korra choke up a bit. The pup rested on Lao's chest as he continued to watch Korra and his new owner Lien talk about today's plan, Lao was slowly woken up when he felt a similar warm liquid stream down his chest. Lao shot his eyes open to see the puppy finishing his business "ARE YOU FRICKIN KIDDIN ME. AGAIN ARE YOU SERIOUS" Lao roared as he shot up from the bed glaring at the pup while Korra and Lien broke out into a hysterical laughter. Lao glared at the two of them "oh that's it birthday girl. Come give your dad a hug" Lao threatened as he chased down both Lien and Korra hugging them as tight as he can "AHH NO. NOT AGAIN" Korra screamed as Lao pulled her in tight "EWWWW THIS IS SO GROSS" Lien shouted as she struggled to break free from Lao's grasp.

The rest of the day Lao and Korra spent every minute with their daughter Lien as they took her sight seeing through the city. They made a special stop at the old mans bar, Lao told Korra to stay outside with Lien so he can go inside and try to get the old man outside. Lao entered the dead bar and instantly noticed the old man drying the same old glass "soo is that all a bartender does. Dry the same glass and give some advice" Lao stated in a wisecrack tone. The old man looked up and smiled at Lao "I hope you're here just to visit and not because you screwed up with that girlfriend of yours smartass." The old man teased. Lao walked up to the bar and shook the old man's hand "actually I want you to meet someone" Lao informed "well why don't you bring them in" the old man questioned. Lao looked at the old man with a serious look on his face as he remembered what Pema said about people going to judge him and Korra "First…I need to explain to you the story" Lao informed as he started from the beginning. As soon as Lao finish explaining his situation of Lien and Korra agreeing to be her mother he waited eagerly for the old man's reaction. The old man stood there letting the recent information settle in "so…Lien was cloned from you and she is technically your daughter and your girlfriend agreed to be her mother to help you raise her…am I right" Lao nodded his head confirming what the old man said was true. "well then…what are you waiting for. Introduce me to your daughter" the old man stated as he threw the towel over his shoulder, Lao was relived that the old man accepted his and Korra's situation as he led him outside to reveal Lien to the old man. The old man walked out of his bar and noticed Korra standing in the front of the bar while a little girl stood next to her. The little girl slightly hid behind Korra as she sniffed the air making sure the old man was safe to approach. The old man took notice how much he looked like Lao and Korra as if she was their real daughter. The old man tried to fight the tears forming "they're just like us bonnie…I wish you can see them bonnie" the old man thought to himself as he wiped away a tear that almost streamed down his cheek. The old man slowly walked towards Lien as he got down on one knee and extended his hand. Lao kneeled down beside the old man as he smiled at Lien "its ok kid this old geezer set me on the right course…he is the main reason why me and Korra are so…close" Lao informed in which Lien slowly shook the old man's hand smiling brightly "thanks for bringing my mom and dad together….even if they don't know it yet" Lien whispered making the old man chuckle as he patted Lien's head. Lao, Lien and Korra waved goodbye at the old man as they continued to site see through out the city. The old man stood there waving goodbye to his favorite customer and his new family "please spirits take care of them" the old man prayed as he walked back inside the bar. Lao took Lien and Korra to eat at an authentic water tribe restaurant for Lien's birthday dinner. Everyone in the restaurant watched in horror as Lao, Lien, and Korra scarfed down their food like a bunch of barbarians on their last meal. Lao held both Lien's and Korra's hands as they walked down the board walk heading to the ferry back to the island. Lao looked to his left and took noticed his happy beautiful daughter then he looked to his right and smiled at the beautiful girl who walked beside him and made everyday a new adventure for him.

When Lao, Korra and Lien made it to the island they noticed that the esteemed chief of police Lin Beifong was waiting for them with Tenzin by her side. "I want that young man put in shackles and under arrest" Lin ordered only to have Tenzin intervene "easy Lin, Lao didn't commit those crimes and you know it" Tenzin stated. Lao tilted his head in confusion "what crimes are y'all two talkin about and why do you think I did it" Lao questioned. Lin pushed Tenzin aside as she stood in front of Lao "because I know who you are and what you are capable of wolverine. However I hate to admit it but Tenzin is right…you are not responsible of the crimes im speaking of…I need your help to track and capture the man who has been filling countless graveyards, this is a simple track and capture you will not kill him… and the only clue we have is this" Lin revealed as she handed Lao a card with a jester on it. The scent of countless victims blood covered the card but the stench of acid overpowered all the smells "this man has slaughtered dozens of innocent people and we can't seem to get a solid lead on him. We know that he leaves this card behind and cuts a smile into the victims face. The maniac is hiding at the sato steel factory in the industrial district" Lin informed. Lao studied the card as the smell of death made him sick "ill do it" Lao said in a deadpanned voice. Korra stepped beside him "ill go to" interjected Korra as Lien nodded in agreement "NO…I need to do this my self…this man is dangerous and I wont let him harm another soul" Lao stated. Korra stared at Lao and noticed the seriousness in his face "we want him alive Wolverine and if you make this into some kind of vendetta we will hunt you down like the criminal you are" Lin warned as she walked away. Lao was dressed in his super suit as he stared at himself in his mirror "the innocent men, women and….ch-children this lunatic as killed…he deserves to be put down" Lao thought to himself as he slipped on his cowl. Lin walked to the dock only to notice Korra and Lien standing there waiting for him. "GRRRR I thought I told y'all that y'all weren't gonna come" Lao growled. Korra stood at the dock with concern in her face "and we're not we just wanted to wish you luck and-" Korra stated but stop mid sentence when Lien ran to Lao and hug him tightly slightly sniffling "Please be safe dad" Lien begged as she looked up at Lao with watery eyes. Lao ran his hand through his daughter hair "ill be ok kid…remember I have a healing factor like you" Lao comforted Lien as she gave Lao one last hug. Korra slowly walked towards Lao and wrapped her arms around his neck "you better come back to us safe…or ill find a way to kick your ass in the spirit world" Korra whispered as she slowly rested her head on Lao's forehead giving him a quick kiss on the lips. Lao was caught off guard when Korra kissed him on his lips and when he tried to kiss her back Korra placed a finger on his lips smiling at Lao's eagerness "not so fast darlin…you have to come back to me safe and maybe ill let you kiss me" Korra teased. Lao smiled against Korra's finger "damn she sure does love to tease me…and dammit im in love with her" Lao thought to him self as he nodded in agreement. Korra and Lien both watched as Lao departed from the island "…your going to fallow him aren't you" Lien questioned, Korra nodded her head "oh you bet your ass I am" Korra answered confirming Lien's suspicions.

Lao entered the industrial district climbing his way on top of a building staring at the sato mobile factory "so the maniac is supposed to be in there huh" Lao thought to himself as he snuck through the back of the factory. Lao sniffed the air trying to catch a sniff of the man who hid in the factory while Lao blindly snuck through the dark. A light flashed on that lite up a present in the middle of the room "AAaahh Wolvie…it's so nice to see you. Especially after what happened after the weapon-X procedure" the man stated over the factory's intercom Lao quickly turned expecting an ambush only to see a present in blue and green wrapping paper sitting under a light "go ahead Wolvie…open your gift" the man snickered. Lao slowly walked his way to the present only for it to automatically open and a projector to pop out. Lao stared at the device confused "what the hell is this bub…come here and fight me like a man you coward" Lao threatened. "in time wolvie. I want to show you a family video" the man joked in a snickering tone. Lao looked at the video that projected from the machine, the image showed a younger Lien strapped to a table "WH-WHAT THE HELL IS THIS YOU SICK BASTARD" Lao roared. The man laughed hysterically over the intercom "ohh Wolvie I was involved in X-23's procedure…I subjected her to the most horrendous experiments breaking her down…HAAA HA HA HAAAA" the man snorted. Lao watch in horror as he saw all the torment this man put his daughter through. "GRRRR IM GONNA GUT YOU" Lao snarled "ohh wolvie I've been waiting for this for awhile especially when that brat threw me in a tank of acid…completely scaring me forever…and after I'm done with you I'm coming for her…and that pretty girl of yours. The man threatened as another light flashed on revealing a man in a purple and green suit with bleached skin and green slick back hair. Lao noticed the mans bright red lips with his overbearing smile "if anyone is gonna kill me its sure as hell ain't gonna be from some skinny punk that uses his mother's lip stick" Lao provoked the man "ohhh nice comeback Wolvie ahh but where are my manners let me introduce myself I'm The Joker, here's my card" the joker revealed as he tossed Lao a jester card and as soon as the card hit the ground in front of Lao it exploded into a blinding smoke screen "ARRGH YOU BASTARD" Lao roared as he tried to regain his senses. "HAAA HA HAA HA WHATS THE MATTER WOLVIE NOT HAVING FUN" the joker teased as he sliced Lao with his pocket knife. Lao shrugged of the tiny blade until he noticed the blood from his wound began to stream down his arm "I'm bleeding…why am I not healing" Lao pondered as he wiped the blood of his arm "ahh I see that you noticed the ace in the hole…you see I finally found a way to counter your overpowered healing factor…and that is with this experimental metal called carbonatium alloy it nullifies your healing factor giving me the edge" joker confessed as he snickered and as soon as the Joker leapt in the air ready to slash down Lao but a boulder came flying and smashed him against the wall. Lao looked behind him and noticed Korra in her fighting stance "WHAT THE HELL. DO YOU EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO" Lao roared. Korra ran to his side "nope not when you put yourself in danger like this" Korra stated. Joker pushed the boulder out of the way and noticed his now ruined suit "ARE YOU CRAZY… YOU ALMOST KILLED ME…WELL I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU LITTLE GIRL" the Joker yelled as he pulled out a detonator "WHAT A WAY TO GO OUT. BIG BANG BOOM FOR EVERYONE HAAAA HAA HAA HA HA AHHHA HAA" the joker laughed as he hit the kill switch igniting the building in a fiery explosion. Lao instinctively shielded Korra from the blast as it sent the two of them flying. Lao felt his flesh rip and burn away as he shielded Korra from the blast while he screamed in agony, while the building fell apart on top of the three. Lao pushed his way out of the debris holding Korra tight as his skin slowly began to regenerate while his suit was ripped apart. Lao laid Korra on the ground "you ok darlin" Lao whispered while Korra slowly opened her eyes. Korra noticed Lao's burnt skin slowly healing while his suit was shredded "im fine darlin" *SMACK* Korra answered while she playfully slapped Lao across his face "that's for going in by yourself you idiot" Korra whispered. Lao smiled as he looked down at the drained beautiful girl "Korra…I…I L-" "RRRAAAGHHH HAA HA HA HA" Lao whispered but was caught off when the Joker tackled him and started to strangle him. The joker stabbed Lao in the leg while Lao kicked the joker of him "OOooh that looks bad…you should get that looked at when you have the chance" the Joker snickered as he kicked Lao across his face. The joker left Lao laying on the ground while he walked towards Korra as he knelt down beside the injured Korra "hey there pretty girl…why…so…SERIOUS" the Joker sneered as he pulled out a second knife drawing closer to Korra's face. Lao slowly regained consciousness and saw the Joker about to finish Korra and the next thing he knew all he saw…was red "GRRR NO MORE" Lao shouted as he lunged at the joker tackling him away from Korra. Lao began to pummel in Joker's face "all the people I'd murder if I let you live" Lao roared as he delivered jaw breaking punch after another. The joker only laughed in response "ITS FINALLY HERE ISNT IT…THE MOMENT IVE DREAMED ABOUT" the Joker yelled as he stabbed Lao in the stomach with his special knife. The joker rolled over and began to strangle Lao with one hand as he struggle to plunge the knife into Lao's face with the other only to have Lao fighting back. The Joker and Lao both struggled on their feet while it was Lao's turn to strangle the joker "not…exactly how'd I'd imagine it…but we can still end on a high note" the Joker said in between breathes. The Joker began to repeatedly stab Lao in the stomach laughing more hysterically with each stab, Lao was being pushed back with each stab while he struggled to keep his grip on the joker's throat. Lao felt his energy start to drain and he looked over his shoulder to see the frighten Korra "…I'm sorry" Lao whispered *CRACK* Lao snapped the Joker's neck as the joker fell to his back and Lao fell to his knees. "ha ha ha….your in trouble nnnoow" the Joker laughed weakly while Korra muscled through her pain and kneeled by Lao's side. "Come on…finish me" the Joker begged as he slightly chuckled, Lao just stood there with Korra helping him stand. "aaaahhh…it doesn't matter…I win…I made you lose control…haa ha ha…and they'll kill you for it…hee he he ha…see you… in hell…HA HAHA HAA HA HAAA HA HA-ACH" Joker uttered as he broke his own neck. Lao felt dizzy from the lost of blood and sure enough he passed out falling face first to the ground.

Lao slowly woke up and noticed that he was in the infirmary on air Temple Island. The first thing he noticed was Korra asleep in a chair next to his bed. Lao tried to get up but the pain in his midsection was to much to bear. He lifted the covers and noticed the many stiches he had. "OH THANK THE SPIRITS YOUR AWAKE" Korra shouted as she lunged at Lao wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him repeatedly on his cheek and lips "I thought I was going to lose you" Korra whispered as she rested her head on Lao's forehead. "DAD" Lien screamed as she jumped onto Lao's bed hugging both Korra and Lao. Lao winched in pain but hugged and kissed both Korra and Lien "of course I'm fine guys. Its gonna take a lot more than a maniac to take me away from you two" Lao whispered. "if you pull a stupid stunt like this again Lao I swear I don't care how bad your hurt ill kick your ass…that's a promise" Korra stated. Lao looked into Korra's soft blue eyes and leaned in to kiss Korra but felt her fingers on his lips "no sir. This is punishment for being stupid and almost getting yourself killed" Korra whispered as she playfully smiled at Lao. "seriously Korra…so am i a wanted man because of…you know" Korra cupped Lao's cheek "no me and tenzin told Lin that he blew himself up trying to kill us, so your covered…and if they did want to take you they have to get through me" Korra stated while Lien popped her head in "and me too" Lien added. Lao smiled and pulled both Korra and Lien in his bed holding him close as all three of them slowly drifted off to sleep.
