Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters I only own the laptop that I wrote on. Whenever you see the "*" that means an outside sound mainly when Lao's claws shoot out. Lao is a wolverine based character "OC" in the Avatar Legend of Korra universe this takes place during the first season
Lao tossed and turn in the medical wing growling as the images of Lien being torture replayed over and over in his dreams. The sight of Lien strapped to a cold metal table screaming while masked doctors shoved needles into her injecting her with who knows what in an attempt to recreate there original weapon, there first monster, him, it made him sick and gave him the urge to gut every eggheaded cowered there. Lao shot up but cringe at the pain that ran across his midsection and panted heavily while Lao placed his hand against his bandages that wrapped across his midsection as sweat dripped down his chest. Korra placed her hand on Lao's shoulder and looked deep into Lao's eyes "is everything ok Lao?" Korra questioned as she gently rubbed Lao's bicep. Lao looked into Korra's eyes but then looked down to his side and noticed Lien nuzzled into his side and started running his hand through her long brown hair that was similar to Korra's "I'm fine darlin…just a nightmare I guess". Korra squinted at Lao and studied his face trying to get a read on him" whatever you say Lao…we better get up it's about to be morning and I need to get to the arena so I can train with the fire ferrets" Korra explained as she gently picked up Lien. "ill go with you" Lao stated but was met with Korra placing her hand on his chest and forcing him back down into bed. "Damn this stubborn woman and how strong is she?" Lao thought as he glared at Korra, Korra adjusted her hold on lien and glared back "DONT GIVE ME THAT LOOK LAO... you need your rest" Korra ordered as Lien woke up and jumped out of Korra's arm to stretch and then she ran down the hall to get ready for the day. Lao frowned and crossed his arms and sighed in defeat "what about Lien?" Lao questioned while Korra crossed her arms "she will be fine Lao but if your so worried ill take her with me if that will calm you down" Korra argued. Lao laid back in bed and crossed his arms in defeat and slightly growled, Korra on the other hand couldn't help but giggle slightly at his helpless state and decided to add a little more to his punishment "oh and here, since your not going anywhere you get to watch Lien's dog" Korra informed as she pick up the pup and placed him on Lao's chest. "WAIT WHA-" Lao uttered but Before Lao could object Korra strutted her way out of the med bay leaving Lao to glare at the pup while the pup panted with his tongue out and look into Lao's eyes "what are you lookin at mutt?" Lao sneered. The pup tilted his head and lifted its back leg and began to go to the bathroom on Lao "IM GONNA KILL YOU, YOU DAMN MUTT" Lao shouted while the pup ran past Korra and hid behind her leg. Korra turned around to see Lao storm out of the bed room only for him to stop dead in his tracks once he notice Korra was standing at the end of the hall with her arm crossed and tapping her foot while she gave him her signature death stare. Korra observed Lao's urine stained chest and fought the urge to burst into laughter "LAO… " Korra demanded. Lao glared at Korra "ARE YOU KIDDIN ME. THAT MUTT WHIZ ON ME AND IM IN TROUBLE?" Lao roared. Korra didn't budge, she simply walked towards him and looks into Lao's eyes "Get…Your Butt…into Bed…NOW" Korra ordered as she pokes Lao's bear chest. Lao growled but huffed in defeat as he turned around growling and limped back to the med bay. Korra slightly giggles as she watch Lao attempt to storm back to his room, the pup slowly emerge from behind Korra and slightly growled at Lao's direction. Korra looked down at the pup "you're not off the hook pup. Now you go apologize to Lao. Now" Korra scolded. The pup hung his head and walked down the hall fallowing Lao. Lao laid down into the bed and looked at the ceiling growling in frustration while the pup slowly walked to Lao's side of the bed and licked Lao's hand, Lao looked down and noticed that the pup was sitting down next to his side with his head hung low. Lao rolled his eyes and picked up the pup and rested him next to his side and scratch behind the pup's ears "you're a pain in the ass you know that mutt" Lao mumbled while the pup snuggled closer into Lao's side "but you're a good dog" Lao whispered as him and the pup both drifted off to sleep.
Korra and Lien walked side by side as they headed through the city making there way to the arena. Korra and Lien walked through the doors and headed to the gym and notice Mako and Bolin in there grey training gear stretching "look who finally decided to join us." Mako blurted as he slipped on the rest of his uniform "hey Korra welcome to your first day of training first we will…who is the kid?" Bolin questioned which caused Mako to look over his shoulder to notice the little girl standing next to Korra. Mako look at the little girl who had similar traits to Korra "she looks just like her…same water tribe skin color, same brown hair, heck even the same nose but…she reminds me of someone else" Mako thought as he studied over Lien "Listen Korra this is training not some kind of day care so take the little girl back home before she gets hurt" Mako ordered. Korra and Lien smirked "trust me guys she can handle herself. Show them sweetie" Korra insisted as she winked at Lien.*SHINKT* Lien grinned as she watched the boys priceless expression when her claws popped out "see. She can handle herself" Korra snickered as she walked past her shock teammates. "Wait…is that Lao's kid?" questioned Bolin as he regained his composure "yup. This is our daughter Lien" Korra explained. Mako raised his eyebrow "wait…"our" daughter?...so your telling us that-"Mako questioned but was cut off by Lien "let me explain it to you slowly so you don't pop a blood vessel there hair gel… Lao-You still with me?... is my father. I'm his clone. Lao took me in. Korra wanted to help raise me. So they both decided to raise me together." Explained Lien as she walked past the boys. Mako ran his hand through his hair and sighed in frustration "great…because that's exactly what we needed…another Lao and Korra" Mako whispered to himself.
After a few hours of training Korra, Mako and Bolin where finishing up there training by passing a medicine ball around "what's the big idea making me train this early in the morning…the morning is evil" Korra complained as she tossed the ball to Bolin "we're the rookies so we get the worst time slot in the gym" Bolin explained as he tossed the ball to Mako "and you're the rookie of us all and with Lao and that little girl distracting you we got to get you up to speed for the tournament. So deal with it" Mako argued as he tossed the ball to Korra. Korra growled in anger "how dare that bastard bring Lao and Lien in this and call them distractions" Korra thought to her self as she looked over her shoulder and saw Lien sitting at the bleachers. Korra noticed that Lien overheard Mako's comment, Korra studied Lien's face and for a tough little girl she was still sensitive "MIND YOUR BUISSNESS AND DEAL WITH IT" Korra growled as she threw the ball against Mako's chest sending him flying across the gym. Korra looked over her shoulder and smiled at Lien sending her a reassuring wink, Lien smiled and waved over to her mother and snickered when she noticed Mako struggle to catch his breath. "There are my little hardworking street urchins" a man in a suit and top hat announced as he walked in addressing the group while Korra rolled her eyes and walked pass the man and headed to Lien. "Here is your winnings from the last match" the man in the suit said as he handed Mako a stack of cash. Mako was about to place the money in his pocket only to be stopped by the man in the suit "Nah ah ah. Not so fast, first you owe me for the Avatar's new gear, gym and equipment rental fees for last month, rent, oh and the personal loan for groceries" the man in the suit informed as he swiped all the money from Mako's hand. Mako stared at his empty hand and glared at Bolin "What!? I'm a growing boy" Bolin explained in a child like tone while he rubbed his stomach. "Oh one more small item in business, the fire ferrets needs to cough up thirty thousand yuans to the championship pot". "THIRTY THOUSAND YUANS" Bolin shouted as his jaw dropped to the floor "sorry kids…you got till the end of the week to come up with the money or you're out of the tournament" the man in the suit explained as he patted Mako on the shoulder and showed himself out of the gym. Korra walked towards the rest of the group with Lien by her side "uhhh you wouldn't happen to have a secret avatar bank account overflowing with gold would you?" Bolin suggested to Korra. Korra shrugged as she emptied out her pockets to reveal she has nothing "well we can ask Deadpool and see if he has any money" Lien suggested. Mako and Bolin looked down at Lien and both raised an eyebrow "who?" Mako and Bolin questioned simultaneously. "Uhh trust me you don't want to know" Korra interrupted. Mako rolled his eyes "well anyway how are we gonna come up with the money" Mako questioned "oh oh I got it I got it. I've been training Pabu circus tricks and I bet people would pay good money to see that" Bolin suggested "Come on Bolin. We need serious ideas" Mako stated as he shook his head in disappointment "don't worry about it Bolin ill think of something I always do" Mako stated as he walked past the group. "What the hell crawled up his ass" Lien questioned as she crossed her arms and glared at Mako while Bolin sighed and grabbed his stuff and left the arena with a plan in mind.
Bolin sat under fire lord Zuko's statue "COME ONE COME ALL, COME SEE PABU THE MAGNIFICENT FIRE FERRET AS HE CROSSES THE LADDER OF PARREL" Bolin shouted as he attempted to gather an audience unfortunately to no avail however. Bolin looked down in disappointment as he only had one yuan however a car screech by and the driver window rolled down "hey Bolin is that you?" a man in a light blue jacket questioned "oh hey shady chin" the man smirked as he stepped out of the car and stood over Bolin "hey listen to this, I got an offer for you, lighting bolt Zolt is looking to hire some extra muscle and pal you got plenty" shady chin informed. Bolin pondered the offer but remembered why he was named "shady chin". "Uhhh I dunno chin. Mako told me to stay away from the triple threat triad" shady chin rolled his eyes in disappointment "Pssh your brother ain't the boss of you, its just a little security work…nothin crooked" Shady chin persuaded as he tossed a stack of money in Bolin's lap. Bolin's eyes jump out of his head as he went hysterical over the amount of money that landed on his lap.
Korra and Lien both looked over the railing of the ferry as they watch Air Temple Island come closer into view. Lien looked down into the water and studied her reflection "distraction…I am a distraction…im just a clone of Lao" Lien repeated in her mind. Korra looked over and noticed Lien deep in thought "whats the matter Lien?" Korra questioned as she gently rubbed Lien's shoulder "its nothing Korra" Lien uttered softly as she kept staring into the water. Korra frowned "Nope. Your just like your father, you don't want to talk about what's wrong but now I'm not taking no for an answer especially when it involves my daughter" Korra revealed as she crossed her arms and faced Lien. Lien sighed in frustration "that's what I'm upset about Korra I'm not really you and Lao's daughter….im just a clone…a mistake….im just a distraction" Lien mumbled softly as she sighed in defeat. Korra got on one knee and rested her hand on Lien's shoulder and looked into her eyes "Lien you're My daughter. You're Lao's Daughter. We don't care if you're a clone or not. You are not a mistake and you are definitely not a distraction. I can tell you right now you give Lao and me so much happiness and to be honest I think we've gotten closer because of you Lien. You are my daughter no matter what anyone says in our hearts you are our daughter Lien don't you ever forget that…ok sweetie" reassured Korra as she smiled softly and placed her hand on Lien's cheek. Lien sniffled and wiped away a tear that almost streamed down her cheek "thanks Korra…hehe Lao is really lucky to have you as his girlfriend Korra" Lien giggled as she hugged Korra. Korra blushed bright red "wh-what are you talking about I…I'm not his girlfriend" Korra stuttered as she tried to regain her composure. Lien playfully pushed Korra away and placed her hand on her hip as she gave Korra a sly look "its only a matter a time Korra" Lien joked as she giggled at Korra's red face. Korra playfully shoved Lien and looked towards Air Temple island "uh-oh" Lien sighed as she face palmed herself. Korra looked over her shoulder and starred where Lien was looking and noticed Lao was in his white T-shirt and grey sweatpants and he was limping around the Island with Liens dog fallowing him. "I…am…gonna kill…your dad Lien" Korra growled as fire shot out of her nostrils and quickly turned to Lien "WHY CANT HE JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I TELL HIM. DOESN'T HE KNOW I CARE FOR HIM AND THAT I LO-"Korra argued but then caught herself when she realized what she was about to say. Lien raised her eyebrow suspiciously "what was that Korra? Where you gonna say Loooovvv-"Lien teased but was cut short when Korra's hand covered Lien's mouth "NO. No no no. not another word it was just a slip of the tongue" Korra argued defensively. Lien grinned and giggled "whatever you say Korra. All I know is that Lao is gonna be in a world of trouble "Lien stated as she sighed in frustration. "oh no he is not in a world of trouble Lien…he is in a world of pain" Korra informed as she crack her knuckles.
Lao walked around the island stretching out his legs while Lien's pup fallowed him around and barked hysterically "Arrghh what is it mutt" Lao demanded as he glared at the pup. The pup hoped around and spun in circles as he nipped at his feet trying to get his attention "what is it?-" "Eh-hem" Lao argued at the pup buy was interrupted when he heard of a familiar and soul stealing tone behind that scolding voice. Lao gulped and slowly turned around to see a very pissed Korra with her arms crossed glaring at Lao burning holes into him "hey how about a warning next time" Lao carefully whispered to the pup over his shoulder, the pup frowned at Lao and growled at him but then turned his direction to his owner and ran to Lien and jumped into her arms "c'mon boy lets give these two some privacy" Lien whispered as she quickly walked inside the Temple. Lao looked Korra up and down and new that she was at a whole new level of ticked off and he could tell she was fighting everything in her body to lash out at him "uhhh hey darlin how was training with the fire ferrets" addressed Lao as he sheepishly tried to walk around Korra "I told you to stay in bed Lao…and you cant even do that" Korra answered as she block off Lao "in my defense I was in bed….just not for long" Lao explained. Korra marched towards Lao and punched him in the gut which caused Lao to keel over holding his stomach as he coughed in pain "SEE. YOUR STILL RECUPERATING YOU HAVENT FULLY HEALED YOU MORON" Korra barked as she stood over Lao. Lao growled as he slowly rose to his feet "GRRR… I understand that your concern Korra" Lao spoke through his gritted teeth "if you "understood" then you wouldn't have went around my back and do this Lao" Korra interjected as she starred down Lao "I just walked around the island. I needed to stretch my legs. WHY ARE YOU SO MAD" Lao argued. "BECAUSE YOU ALMOST DIED IN MY ARMS A FEW DAYS AGO…..WE…I…almost lost you…I was so scared that that was it and that you where out of our lives forever…I "Korra stuttered while the memories of Lao's lifeless body on the cold ground bleeding nonstop from the mad man named joker replayed in her mind. She tried to confess her feelings, trying to force the words out but was cut off when Lao quickly wrapped his arms around her and hug her tightly "Korra I didn't know you where still thinking about that I didn't think it effected you that much or that you cared what happened" Lao whispered as he hug her tightly. Korra cupped Lao's face and look into Lao's eyes "of course I care about you Lao" Korra whispered as she slowly tiptoed as her lips where just inches from Lao's. Lao closed his eyes as Korra tilted her head "OOOOoooo mom Lao and Korra are about to kiss" Ikki shouted which caused both Lao and Korra to freeze and glare at Ikki in which she giggled and took off running back inside the temple. "Arrghh we can never have a moment of privacy at this island can we" Korra whispered as she slightly giggled and rested her forehead against Lao's "tell me about it darlin…can I ask you a question? "Lao whispered. Korra looked into Lao's eyes "sure ask away "darlin" hehe" Korra teased as she slightly giggled, Lao shook his head and held Korra's hand "would you like to go out sometime you know just go somewhere and do something" Lao whispered. Korra blushed bright red as she smiled from ear to ear "I would love to Lao" Korra giggled as she kissed Lao's cheek and wrapped her arm with Lao's and they both walked inside the temple.
Korra stood in front of the spinning panels in the court yard as she studied the patterns while Jinora and Ikki airbended a gust of wind through the panels making them spin rapidly. Lao sat at the cobblestone steps watching Korra maneuver her way through the gates "There you go Korra. You'll be air bending in no time darlin" Lao complimented as Korra twirled her way out of the gates "ohh he is cute. Korra is that the cute fire bender that drives you crazy? it looks like Lao has some competition" Jinora questioned as she stared at Mako who was walking toward the group "does he drive you crazy in a bad way or does he drive you crazy like you like him." Ikki teased as she jumped up and down. Lao slowly began to growl towards Mako "as if Korra could have a crush on that skinny little punk" Lao thought to himself but noticed Korra's flushed face as she earthbend the airbending children away "ehh hey Mako" Korra greeted as she tried to regain her composure. Lao felt an uneasy feeling as he glared towards Mako "feeling a bit jealous there Lao" Lien whispered which caused Lao to jump and turn around to see both a smirking Pema and a grinning Lien "the hell are you two sneaking up on me like that" Lao growled as he stared down the two. Pema just giggled as she placed her hand on Lao's shoulder "you better watch out Lao a girl as beautiful as Korra can easily be taken away if she is unhappy with what she has" Pema warned as she walked away. Lao turned around and looked towards Korra and Mako and made his way towards the two. "What's going on here" Lao interrupted as he stood next to Korra "have you seen Bolin" Mako questioned as he stood in front of Lao "as a matter of fact no I haven't but come on its Bolin how much trouble can he get in one night" Lao questioned but then Lao and Mako both sighed and ran their hand through their hair. "You obviously don't know Bolin, he has an act in getting himself into stupid situations. See you two later" Mako sighed as he turned around and headed his way down the steps "wait maybe we could help you look for him" Korra interjected as she grabbed Mako's arm "nah I got it" Mako rejected as he continued to walk away "hey cool guy let me help you we can take naga" Korra stated. Lao step in the middle of the two and faced Mako "go home Mako and get some rest ill go out and look for Bolin and I promise he will be home before morning" Lao offered "what can you do that I can't do huh? I'm the leader of the fire ferrets and I've lived and fought on the streets for all of my life while you have been on this island having little tea parties" Mako argued as he shoved pass Lao. Lao grabbed Mako and faced him down *SHINKT* Lao's claws popped out in front of Mako's face "its because I have these and I can sniff out Bolin and track him quicker then you can" Lao barked as he pushed Mako aside "can we cool down the testosterone for a minute. No matter what you're not going alone and I'm tagging along with one of you" Korra interjected as she placed a hand on Lao's and Mako's chest. Lao growled and headed towards the ferry "if Bolin is in trouble I think I can handle a couple of street thugs I mean hell I've already saved his life before" Lao reminded Mako and Korra as he boarded the ferry. Korra growled towards Lao as she waterbended a wave and splashed Lao causing him to be soaking wet from head to toe however before he could get off the ferry and change the ferry already took off and Lao only glared towards Korra while Korra playfully stuck her tongue out at him. Korra giggled at the soaked Lao as she watch him slowly get farther away "please be careful" Korra whispered to herself so only she can hear
As soon as Lao boarded the dock he went to the bathroom to dry off and began his search fro Bolin. Lao ran across rooftop to rooftop sniffing out into the night air trying to catch a sent of the earthbender only to no avail. After a few hours of searching Lao finally caught a sent of Bolin and took of into a sprint leaping from rooftop to rooftop. Lao looked down to the streets and noticed the house where Bolin's scent was heavy at "hmmm triple threat triad territory huh? Bolin your in some deep shit" Lao thought to himself as he studied the house "no guards…wait that scent…*SNIFF SNIFF*… lavender?...oh shit" Lao said to himself as he looked down the street to see Korra and Mako ridding on Naga heading towards the house "that stubborn woman. I told her to do one thing and she does the other…just like what I did this morning" Lao spoke to himself. Lao watched as Mako snuck towards the front door while Korra easily walked and kicked in the door having little regard to stealth which caused Lao's left eye to twitch "that woman is gonna get herself killed" Lao thought to himself as he watched Mako and Korra walk inside the building. As soon as Lao was about to join the group he heard a bunch of commotion behind the building, Lao leapt on top of the building and looked down in the alley to see a big metal truck and a group of men dressed in black with mask shoving tied up men into the truck. Lao studied these men and they seem familiar to him for some reason however the more he tried to think about the more pain shot up to Lao's head. Lao snap out of it and after he targeted all the enemies he came up with a plan to take them all out with out them knowing as soon as he was about to take them down he noticed the back door swing open and Korra and Mako rushed into the streets. Lao face palmed himself as he noticed the truck speed away but Lao caught a glance of Bolin in the truck. "I can never catch them on foot I need a ride" Lao thought to himself as he watch them speed away with Korra and Mako ridding Naga fallowing them. Lao felt defeated that is until something caught his eye which made him smile "that'll do. And its not stealing it's for a good cause and ill return it…if I remember too" Lao said to himself as he jumped off the building.
"WHOOOOHOOO HELL YEAH NO MORE RUNNING FOR ME" Lao shouted over the roaring engine of the Sato motorcycle, the Sato motorcycle was a clean jet black with sleek shine chrome pipes and rims with the words "HarleyDavidson" etched on the side of the tank. Lao took a sharp turn into an alley following the sweet scent of lavender in the air "her adrenaline is rising…she is in trouble" Lao thought to himself as he revved up the engine pushing the motorcycle to its limit.*SHINKT* Lao pierced his claws into the ground which caused him to turn the corner sharply and screech to a halt when he noticed both Mako and Korra knocked out on the ground while the men in black stepped closer towards Korra. Lao reeved the motorcycle heading towards the men and leapt into the air *SHINKT* "RRRAAGH" Lao roared as he flew through the air and impaled on of the men. One of the men dressed in black turned and kicked Lao across the face which caused Lao to growl in anger and grab the man by the throat "Wait what the hell are you doing Lao" Mako's shouted as he tried to regain feeling in his limbs "where is that truck going" Lao growled towards the man. The man began to chuckle "you can not stop the equalist movement hehe long live Amon" the man in the mask chuckled. Lao shook his head while the stench of death covered this man, Lao could smell all the innocent peoples blood on his hand *shinkt* "wrong answer bub" Lao whispered as he plunged his claws through the man's chest. Mako starred at Lao in disgust as Lao tossed the lifeless body aside and made his way towards Korra "Thanks Lao but I totally had it under control" Korra thanked but playfully shoved Lao. Lao shook his head "you sure are a pain in the ass Korra "Lao mumbled as he helped Korra get on her feet "but I'm your pain in the ass" Korra added which caused Lao to smile "what the hell was that all about huh" Mako shouted as he attempted to punch Lao across the jaw. Lao simply side stepped out of the punch "the hell is your problem fire boy I just saved your ass" Lao argued as he got in his fighting stance "you just killed them, they didn't deserve death" Mako shouted at Lao "You didn't know what he did" "OH BUT YOU DO" Lao informed but was cut off by Mako as he shot a fireball towards Lao. Lao kicked Mako's Legs out from underneath him and got on top of you and held him still "YES…I DO and if you knew what he did you would have done the same" Lao barked as he held Mako down. Mako struggled underneath Lao's weight "but that doesn't make it right who made you judge and executioner…were supposed to be better then them" Mako spat as he kicked Lao off of him. Before Lao and Mako where about to engage in an all out war Korra jumped in and Earthbend walls between both of them "KNOCK IT OFF BOTH OF YOU. I know Lao more then you and I know that Lao only kills when it's necessary so back off Mako" Korra shouted as she stood in front of Lao. Mako huffed in defeat and walked away then stopped "well now what? We have no leads on Bolin" Mako complained "well actually I think I know a guy who can tell us exactly what we want to know. Let's go to the park and wait till mornin" Lao informed as he walked towards Naga and sliced the large polar bear dog's restraints. Korra made her way towards Lao and placed her hand on Lao's shoulder "thanks for stickin up for me back there Korra I know killing is what the avatar stands against so I appreciate you understanding" Lao thanked as he headed towards his new acquired motorcycle. Korra smiled at Lao and quickly kissed him on the cheek" and thanks for saving me "Darlin" Korra whispered as she playfully winked at Lao. Mako glared at the two and spat at the ground "well are we going or not?" Mako shouted which caused the pair to nod in agreement
Lao parked his newly acquired motorcycle under a tree and then sat by the fountain that was located in the middle of the park, he dipped his hand in the water and splashed his face with water he turned and eyed the sleeping Korra that laid against the sleeping Naga. Lao smiled to himself "she looks really beautiful under the moon light" Lao thought to himself but noticed Mako was scooting closer towards Korra and Lao almost lost it when he placed his hand on top of Korra's "Psst Mako come here" Lao whispered towards Mako. Mako frowned and slowly got up and headed his way towards Lao "what do you want" Mako spat at Lao with poison behind his tone "I'm just looking for info not a dick measuring contest so calm down" Lao stated in a hushed tone. Mako scuffed at Lao's remark and leaned against the fountain "info on what Lao" Mako questioned "why are the gangs teaming up? To band together against a group of nonbending equalist? Doesn't make any sense" Lao thought out loud "I don't know but I was told that they're getting ready for something big…maybe a turf war?" Mako added as he tried to piece together the puzzle "nah I don't think soo. They're scarred of something and they want to team up and take them down quickly before it escalates… but what? "Lao questioned as he stroke his facial hair. "well whatever it is you should get some rest tonight something tells me that tomorrow is gonna be hectic" Lao informed in which Mako nodded and headed back towards Korra only to have Lao grab him by the scarf and pull him back "NOT WITH KORRA…go find a tree" Lao growled through his teeth" Mako stared down Lao and grabbed his scarf from his hand and headed towards a tree. Lao smirked in victory as he sat down and leaned against the water fountain and look towards Korra "goodnight darlin" Lao whispered as he slowly nodded off to sleep.
"EQUALITY NOW EQUALITY NOW WE WANT EQUALITY NOW" Lao jumped as the annoying voice rang in his ear, Lao looked towards his left and noticed that Korra must have gotten up in the middle of the night and laid down next to him and not Mako. Lao smiled to himself and gently shook Korra's shoulder "hey. hey wake up darlin our guy is here" Lao spoke smoothly while Korra slowly woke from her slumber. Lao helped Korra on her feet and easily blended into the crowed where they met up with Mako "so this little fat guy supposed to be your guy?" Mako questioned in which Lao nodded in agreement. They all waited till the crowed left "hey bub remember me…I think we have some unfinished business" Lao announced as he revealed himself to the man in the grey dress who was standing on his box "oh crap its you and your with the avatar wh-what do you want?" the man in the grey dress stuttered "oh nothin just wanted to catch up and get some information that I know your gonna give to us" Lao joked as he flashed his grin " I wont talk. You wont get anything from me" the man in the grey suit stuttered. Lao smiled as he placed his fist underneath the man's chin "im gonna give you to the count of three you go that… one *SHINKT*…two *SHINKT* now if you've done the math you probably figured out that number three is really gonna hurt…Thre-"WAIT" the man in the grey suit shouted as he began shaking in fear. "SPILL IT. What the the equalist want with the benders? they just kidnapped our friend where will we find him" Lao growled as he pressed his middle claw against the man's throat "they're Meeting at a factory tonight the map is behind the brochure that's all I know I swear" the man stammered. Lao smirked and let the man go "good. Thanks for the corporation" Lao thanked as he thrusted his knee to the man's groin. Lao turned around and noticed that Korra was giggling while Mako looked in disgust "well we know where were going lets head out" Lao insisted as they took off to the factory.
The group stood on top of a building where they got a clear view of a crowd of people going into the factory "ok here is the plan. Korra. You and Mako are going down there and dress like civilians hopefully they'll let you in ill sneak around through the back while they're not paying attention deal" Lao explained as he looked down the streets "wait hold on. Why don't you go down there with Mako" Korra insisted as she pouted "because you already proved to me that you cant be stealthy so quit complaining and head down there before its to late and we lose Bolin." Lao demanded. Korra crossed her arms and frowned in disappointment while they all nodded in agreement.
Lao leaned against the wall peeking around the corner watching Korra and Mako walk towards the crowd. Mako looked over his shoulder and quickly wrapped his arm around Korra's "what are you doing?" Korra asked as she attempted to push Mako away "uhh…well attract less attention this way" Mako whispered as they stepped in front of the guard. Lao growled as he starred down Mako while he wrapped his arm around Korra's however, once Lao noticed they got in he snuck around the back and notice a back door that was guarded by one equalist. Lao smirked as he looked over the scrawny equalist and cautiously made his way behind the equalist and knock him out cold with one punch to the back of the head and dragged him out of sight. Lao stripped the Equalist of his uniform and slipped it on himself, The tight leather outfit hug on to Lao's muscular body but a disguise is a disguise. Lao snuck his way to the back and made his way down the corridor until he met a man who was dressed differently then the other equalist. His suit was grey rather then black and You where able to see his face revealing that the man had a long Fu man chu "you there recruit report to the lift one of your brothers is missing so you get the honor of standing next to Amon himself." The man in grey ordered as he grabbed Lao by the arm "Come on princes this isn't time to celebrate your promotion were about to begin so move your ass" the man in grey yelled as he shoved Lao down the corridor. Lao bit his tongue he wanted to knock this guy on his ass but if he was gonna stand next to Amon most likely he would find out what he did with Bolin "just you wait old man ill show you who the real recruit is" Lao said to himself as he got in line with the rest of the equalist. Amon slowly emerges from the shadows which caused the equalist to stand at attention. When Lao saw Amon emerge from the shadows it was almost as if instinct commanded him to get in attention like as if he was already used to it "what the hell just happened? "Lao thought to himself as he drowned out Amon's speech to the Equalist "you there recruit state your name" Amon addressed Lao as he stood in front of him "oh crap. Time to think on your feet" Lao thought to himself "uhh Bruce sir" Lao answered while he remained in attention "Bruce what" Amon questioned as he got closer in Lao's face. Thankfully the mask hid the sweat the slid down Lao's face "Lee sir…Bruce Lee" Lao answered as he sighed in relief when Amon walked away and talked to the man in grey. Amon slowly walked towards Lao and turned around and also stood in attention while the ground underneath them lifted them up to reveal a sea of anti benders "Whoa… I never knew so many people hated benders…but how could they…most of them are sweet and innocent you cant blame them all because of a few bad apples" Lao thought to himself but fear shot up his spine when he realized that he just brought Korra in the middle of this hostile crowd "oh crap Tenzin is gonna kill me if he finds out about this "Lao mumbled under his breath while Amon addressed the crowd. "My quest for equality began many years ago when I was a boy my family and I lived on a small farm, we weren't rich and non of us where benders, this made us very easy targets for the fire bender who extorted my father" Amon spoke to the crowd while Lao searched through the crowd looking for Korra " Blah blah blah I don't care about your backstory Amon…oh come on where is she" Lao thought to himself as he scanned row by row until he finally located Korra and Mako Lao smiled in relief when he located the two however his thoughts where cut off when Amon's voice finally tuned back into Lao's focus " I know you have been wondering. What is the revelation? You are about to get your answer" Amon proclaimed. Lao felt his body tense as he too waited in anticipation just like the rest of the crowd "Since the beginning of time the spirits have acted as guardians of our world and they have spoken to me they say the Avatar has failed humanity, that is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance they have granted me a power that would make equality a reality…the power to take a persons bending away…permanently " Amon sneered which caused Lao, Korra and Mako to stare at Amon in shock. Lao noticed they where bringing in the whole triple threat triad gang and at the very end of the line he noticed a terrified Bolin "don't worry Bolin we'll get you out of here" Lao thought to himself as he watch the equalist untie the man named lighting bolt Zolt. Lao heard of this man and he was even close to catching him and turning him in to Chief Bei Fong but it seems that Amon beat him to the punch. Lao watch as lighting Bolt Zolt attacked Amon however Amon sidestepped every attack and was able to lock his arm behind his back and grab the back of his neck then he placed his thumb on his forehead then letting Zolt fall face first to the ground. Zolt stood right back up and tried to firebend but nothing happened he tried again but Zolt just landed on his knees and looked up to Amon shaking "what…what did you do to me? "Zolt questioned as he tried to catch his breath "your firebending is gone…forever" Amon shouted which caused everyone in the audience to gasps. "only Avatar Aang was able to take away someone's bending…I call bullshit somethings up but I'm not gonna wait and let Bolin be the guinea mouse pig" Lao thought to himself as he tried to think of a plan however he noticed Korra was already on the move "that's my girl but… Please be careful" Lao whispered to himself so only he can hear.
Korra ran down the corridor looking for a valve "Bingo… perfect" Korra said to herself as she turned the valve causing the room to fill up with steam "dammit that's not enough" Korra cursed herself as she attempted to turn the other valve "hey who are you" a voice behind Korra bellowed which caused Korra to slowly turn around to see the hideously large overweight man walked towards her. Each step felt like the ground shake "I…Uhhh…I'm" Korra stuttered as she tried to think of an excuse "save it pipsqueak your in big trouble no one can defeat the dashing Blob" the large man stated as he attempted to flex his flabby arms which caused Korra to vomit a little in her mouth *POOF* "ahh shut up and stuff your mouth full of Twinkies big guy" *SHINKT* DeadPool insulted as he sliced through the fat man's gut killing him instantly "man I hated that guy. Oooh look at me I'm the blob I can heal any wound because my skin is stretchy" DeadPool cooed as he danced around Blob's dead body (hey readers that's one hell of a way to introduce and quickly kill off a character huh hehe well don't worry he wont be back anytime soon. –DP) Korra starred In shock as she slowly stepped away from the pool of blood that escaped Blob's stab wound "What the hell are you doing here DeadPool?" Korra questioned "Whaaaaat. Come on it's me DeadPool the readers practically demand me to be involved oh and something tells me your gonna need help with Amon sooo yeah consider me a part of Team Avatar 2.o baby" DeadPool explained as he gave Korra a wink and a thumbs up. Korra shook her head as she released the pressure from the other valves causing the entire stage to fill up with steam just in time as Bolin was next in line to get his bending taken away. The entire stage filled with steam and in the confusion Amon quickly faded into the fog. Bolin was left in the middle until he felt an arm wrap around his neck "AHHH" Bolin screamed only to have the man hush Bolin "Sssh Bolin its me Lao me Mako and Korra came to rescue you" Lao explained however he felt someone grab his arm and spun him off of Bolin. Lao tripped over his feet and felt a solid kick connect with his chest and right before Lao was gonna rip this man apart he realized it was Mako "Damn…kinda whish I just acted upon it and rip him to shreds rather then thought about it" Lao thought to himself as he held his hands up in front of Mako "hey hey take it easy fire ball its me Lao" Lao revealed "oh yeah prove it" Mako threatened as he summoned fire in his palms "simple you're a dick" Lao answered as he pulled of the mask to reveal his face. "Good enough, Bolin you alright bro? " Mako questioned after he turned his back on Lao "OH MY SPIRITS YES MAKO LAO I LOVE YOU" Bolin stammered while Mako grabbed Bolin's hand and guided him through the smoke to make there escape. Lao was right behind them until he heard someone speak to him "ahh where are you going weapon X" the mysterious voice questioned which caused Lao to turn and look only to see no one there Bolin stopped in his tracks which caused Mako to look over his shoulder to stare at Lao "you two go on ahead ill catch up" Lao yelled over the commotion in which Mako and Bolin nodded in agreement and headed towards there escape. Lao turned his attention to the smoke and steam and slowly walked in it following the source of the voice "I see that weapon X has found his way back home. It was such a pity when we thought we lost you but look who came crawling back and would you look at that back in uniform almost doesn't make me want to kill you Lao" the voice mocked from within the shadows. Lao quickly spun around trying to locate the source of the voice or even a scent of the man behind it *SNIFF SNIFF* "show your self you coward. What's the matter…Afraid of a fair fight? Is that why you're hiding like a little punk?" Lao mocked back as he tried to get the man talking so he can locate and find him "who says I'm hiding Lao…I'm just observing…you know its quite interesting how I made you as the ultimate weapon against benders and here you are helping them…hell even my scouts say your really "close" with the Avatar herself…pretty little thing I must admit…but do you want to know the biggest secret the main reason why I had you made into weapon X" the man teased which caused Lao to freeze in his steps "why I was created?" Lao mumbled to himself until he felt a hand quickly grasp the back of his neck and felt someone kick the back of his knee which caused Lao to fall to his knees which caused to Lao look up to see Amon and his soulless eyes that hid behind that mask. Amon slowly lowered his head and whispered into Lao's ear "to Kill…The Avatar" Amon revealed as he placed his thumb On Lao's Forehead draining Lao's powers from his body. Lao couldn't move due to his power being sucked from his body and plus the shook that his only purpose was to kill the girl that he loved…Korra, Amon kicked Lao's back and sent him sliding across the stage. Amon swaggered his way towards Lao and knelt down on knee "I didn't take away your healing factor Lao however I did weakened it oh but don't worry it'll be back in a few hours I just want you to feel every ounce of excoriating pain and remember what happens when you cross me" Amon sneered as he put his foot on Lao's throat and applied all of his weight on his throat. Amon smiled behind his mask as he watched Lao struggle to keep conscious and right when Lao's eyes where slowly starting to roll into the back of his head Amon released his foot causing Lao to cough as he tried to regain oxygen back into his lungs Amon snickered at Lao then simply walked away laughing at Lao's pain and humiliation as he disappeared into the shadows. Lao laid on the ground feeling weak and woozy "that's cant be true….i couldn't have been made to kill Korra…is that why I was so attracted to her when we first met? Was it because of a crush…or because deep down my brain knew what my task was and wanted me to get close enough to Korra just so I can….complete my mission" Lao thought as he slowly regained enough strength to get on his feet and fallow the path Mako and Bolin escaped through. When Lao reached outside he noticed Mako and Bolin on the ground while the man in the grey suit and his revolting Fu Man Chu stood over the two brothers "You benders need to understand there's no place in the world for you anymore…not even for mutants like you weapon X" the man in grey announced as he faced Lao. "Listen Bub I would gladly kick your ass six days till Sunday but I'm not in the mood…so I'm giving you one chance to*SMACK*….walk away" Lao threatened but was cut off when the ground seem to jump up and slam the man into the wall. "I wouldn't count us out just yet" Korra added as she whistled for Naga who came dashing around the corner. Mako and Bolin hopped on Naga while Korra noticed something was off about Lao "come on you two lets go" Mako shouted which caused Korra to run by Lao's side and help him up on Naga. Lao noticed that a pack of Equalist busted through the back door each one with a rope dart in there hand "oh no" Lao mumbled as the members of the equalist twirled their rope darts and hurled them towards the group. "COME ON NAGA LETS GO GIRL" Korra ordered Naga who was able to doge most of them easily however one was headed straight for Bolin "BRO GET DOWN" Mako shouted as he leaped in front of Bolin expecting to feel the blade pierce his back *SHINK* Mako tensed expecting to feel pain however he felt nothing he slowly turned around to see that Lao stood in front of the two brothers and took the blade straight in his chest. Korra looked over her shoulder and sighed in relief "PHEWW. Nice save Lao" Korra complimented but noticed Lao didn't acknowledge her back he didn't even budge. Korra's eyes began to water as she noticed Lao's arms slowly fall down to his side and simply fall on his back lifeless. Korra felt the tears stream down her face as she noticed the blood trickle down the corner of Lao's mouth and how his eyes remained still with no life "LAO" the group screamed simultaneously. Bolin ripped off a part of his shirt while Mako pulled out the Blade and applied pressure to the wound. Korra mushed Naga trying to get to the temple or the arena as fast as she can "there is no way in hell that I'm gonna lose you again for a second time…do you hear me Lao" Korra repeated to her self as she weaved in and out of traffic. Korra and the gang stopped at the arena and carried Lao up the Mako and Bolin apartment "Bolin set him down on the sofa ill go get the med kit and extra towels" Mako ordered as he ran down the hall. Bolin placed Lao on the sofa with Korra right behind him and as soon as Bolin laid Lao's lifeless body on the couch Korra feel to her knees right besides Lao and she slowly ran her hand through her hair. Mako came bursting in with the med kit and towels "so you've done this before right" Korra questioned as she continued to run her hand through Lao's hair "ehh sorta" Mako stated as he cleaned out Lao's stab wound with Alcohol. Korra's ears perked up and faced Lao and gave him her signature death stare "What the you mean "sorta" Korra growled as she attempted to control her rage "I only stitched up me and Bolin's clothes but I'm pretty sure the same concept applies" Mako reassured. Right before Korra was gonna explode with rage a surprise and unwelcome guest popped in *POOF* "hey guys what's happs" DeadPool questioned as he stood on top of Lao which caused Korra to slowly turn her head to face Deadpool. Korra lunge at DeadPool and began strangling him which proved the perfect time for Mako to stitch him up "see readers what did I tell you…the girls cant keep there hands off me" Deadpool wheezed as he tried to keep Korra from choking him "LAO WONT STOP BLEEDING AND YOU THINK IT'S A PERFECT TIME TO TELL JOKES" Korra roared as she squeezed Deadpool's throat. Deadpool shook his head and looked over to Lao and pushed Korra off and crawled towards Lao "hmmmm….Amon got him…took away his mutant healing ability but only temporarily not permanently however he didn't count on me to be here but its not for the weak of heart or those with a light stomach" Deadpool explained as he pulled off his glove and unsheathed his Knife "how do you know that Deadpool" Korra questioned as she studied what Deadpool was getting ready to do "uhhh simple I read the fanfiction duhhhh" Deadpool Mocked which caused Korra, Mako, and Bolin to tilt there heads in confusion. Deadpool slowly sliced of a chunk of his arm and shoved it in Lao's mouth which caused everyone to gag "come on Lao you gotta eat it all if you want to be big and strong" Deadpool coed in which Korra came up behind Deadpool and smacked him upside his head "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU" Korra shouted. DeadPool rubbed the back of his head "OWW YOU CRAZY BI…EHEM…if Lao isn't to far gone he can absorb my healing factor by…eating apart of me" DeadPool explained as he got up. Korra quickly turned and noticed that the wound in Lao's chest slowly began to heal which caused tears of joy to stream down her cheek. Korra turned around and hugged Deadpool "thank you so much DeadPool just…thank you. There's actually one more favor I want to ask" Korra thanked as she gave DeadPool a bear hug "sure anything just don't break my back please" DeadPool squeaked as he felt his spin pop. Korra let go of DeadPool and smiled as she stood up and wrapped one of Lao's Arms around her shoulder "can you help me carry this lug down to Naga so we can take him home" Korra asked as she waited for a response. DeadPool helped Korra with Lao down the steps and tossed Lao onto Naga's back but before Korra could take off with DeadPool and Lao Mako ran down the steeps and stopped Korra. "Korra wait…when he wakes up…tell him that I said thanks" Mako stated as he placed his hand in his pockets and walked back inside. Korra smiled and hurried off to the ferry in order to catch the last boat ride to Air Temple Island.
As Soon as Korra and DeadPool made there way up the steps they where greeted by Tenzin who just finished talking to a group of guards "oh my spirits are you two alright" Tenzin asked as he rushed towards them . Korra slowly nodded "no. we where at an equalist rally and we saw Amon…he can not only take away people's bending but he can also take away Lao's healing factor…for good." Korra revealed which caused Tenzin to go white in the face. "No…that's impossible…only the Avatar is capable of that kind of ability" Tenzin argued "Listen chrome dome they saw it hell Lao experienced it…Korra is speaking the truth" Deadpool explained to Tenzin in which he nodded in agreement. "well you better get Lao to bed Lien will be happy to see that you two got home safely…go on…oh and if you need a place to stay DeadPool our door is now always open" Tenzin stated. Deadpool's hands shot up to his cheeks and he squealed with excitement causing Lao's heavy frame to fall on top of Korra "AHHHH LIKE OMG TENZIN ARE YOU FO-REAL" DeadPool asked as he jumped in place in which Tenzin Slowly nodded and walked away.
Korra Laid Lao down in her bed and took of his shirt, boots and pants, Then Korra began to undress herself. Korra then slowly crawled over Lao and Laid down by his side and snuggled up close to him kissing all over his face and whispered in his ear " don't you ever scare me like that again Lao…goodnight…I love you"
Amon's words replayed over and over in Lao's dream that is until the morning sun light beamed through and hit Lao directly on the face waking him up. Lao began to stretch but felt a pair of slender arms wrap around him and pull him in closer. Lao looked down and smiled but felt his face burn bright red when he noticed that he was only in his underwear and so was Korra. Lao tumbled out the bed and scooted back quickly as he tried to think of what happened last night that led to him in Korra's bed almost naked. Korra slowly woke up and giggled when she noticed Lao on the floor starring at her body. Korra enjoyed when she Caught Lao checking her out and always loved to be a tease to him "what's the matter Lao…come back to bed" Korra cooed in a seductive tone as she rested her chin on her hands revealing her cleavage. *SHINKT* Korra looked down to Lao's hand and noticed Lao's Claws have popped out that and other things popped up. Korra giggled and got out of bed and kissed him on the nose "Gotcha hehe come on we got a busy schedule today" Korra whispered as she walked past him. Lao slid his claws back in his hand and rested his head against the wall and pondered what Amon said to him "what if I was only made to kill Korra?...no I know what and who I want…I want Korra…I want to be with her…hell I even had a dream last night that she told me that she loved me" Lao thought to himself as he got up of the floor and got dressed.
