Epilogue

It had been quite a few weeks ever since Korra had her accident. Two months actually. Much changed since then. My company was thriving more than ever. Business had never been better and Korra? Oh… she and I… we have hardly spend time apart ever since we became an official couple… And she proved to me once again that she's still able to surprise me.

It was hardly a day like any other. Today was a day that was full of surprises. First one of all. Lin Beifong and her girlfriend, Kya, came by my office today. After all, I had made Lin a promise about a certain… item… so while I was in the middle of the most awkward conversation ever. Holding the strap on in my hand and by the time Varrick barged in once again, it was in 'ready for action' state. I guess third time is the charm…?

Varrick grinned from ear to ear. Kya giggled like a highschool teenager and Lin? Well, I don't think her face could become any redder at that point. She snatched the sex toy out of my hands, shoved it in a bag, grabbed Kya by the wrist and practically ran out the door. Kya managed to say bye and waved at me before she disappeared from my sight. Varrick just laughed and congratulated me with a job well done.

"Why?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise, still not over the fact that he had walked in on us while I explained how the sex toy worked.

"For launching your new line of products. One of them being the Triple S. A video game. A load of new vehicles and machines." He crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm impressed Sato, and that doesn't happen often…"

I smiled shyly. "Well… I didn't do everything on my own… I have to thank you for lending me your specialist in games. Kuvira did an amazing job. She went almost crazy when I showed her those sketches from Kitty over a month ago. She created that game within a freaking month! She and her husband know their stuff. Having Korra be a beta to try out the game, she gave Kuvira quite a few pointers. She worked out all the bugs in record time."

We spend a few more minutes talking before Zhu Li walked in too. Along with an expensive looking bottle. "Sorry for the delay… I ran into the Chief of police. Quite literally. She dropped a bag and some item rolled out. I believe it was the Triple S?"

Varrick laughed out loud and I couldn't suppress my own laughter. "Oh… well." I just shrugged and pulled out some glasses from my bookshelf. I was handed the bottle by Zhu Li and uncorked it before pouring a glass for each of us. We toasted on a job well done. After we had drank quite a bit of the bottle. We said out goodbye's and I ordered a cab home. I knew when I was able to drive and when not and at this moment, I was hardly able to walk out of the door normally.

I came home a giggling mess and asked Lee to prepare me something to eat. Afterwards, I felt a bit more sober and went up. I walked into my bedroom where Korra was laying in bed. Her lower body covered by the pelt that she used instead of normal sheets. She wore a white sleeveless top. One that seemed to be a favorite since she wore it quite often. I was about to sneak into the bed with her, when I accidently bumped my knee against the bed's edge. I let out quite a few curse words and hoped to the Spirits I hadn't woken up my girlfriend because of my clumsiness.

"Hey you…" A soft voice said and a chuckle followed.

Oh well… there goes my plan. "Hey sweetie, I didn't wake you, did I?"

"Mhnnnooo…" She said and smiled, still half asleep. She pushed herself up a bit so she was actually sitting with her back against the headboard and some pillows. I heard her sniff. "Had a drink?"

I nodded and slowly crawled on her legs. Straddling her. "Yeah… but I ate afterwards. So I'm pretty much sober again." I whispered while my hands found their way around her body. My face nuzzled the crook of her neck and her short hair tickled my nose. Her arms wrapped around my body and she settled her head just under my chin. "I missed you…" I whispered and I felt her shift slightly. I looked down and her lips found mine. We kissed for some minutes before she broke it and settled back under my chin.

"How was therapy today…?" I asked while I tenderly stroke her back. I felt her shrug.

"As well as ever. I'm making progress…" She purred when I scratched the back of her neck and I smiled.

"Progress is progress… be it slow or fast." She looked up to me and smiled. Our lips met once again but this time, her tongue slipped easily into my mouth and found mine. I couldn't suppress a moan and I heard her moan too when our tongues met. She broke the kiss again but her lips kissed and nipped at a soft spot on the skin of my neck. "Korra…" I breathed and felt her hands slide over my stomach. She slowly unbuttoned my blouse while her lips never stopped kissing me.

My own hands tugged at the hem of her top and she raised her arms up so I could remove it. I tossed it aside and smiled when I saw she didn't wore a bra. While I had my eyes on her beautiful breasts, she took the opportunity to remove my blouse and black colored bra. Her strong hands slid over my skin and she cupped both my breasts, giving them a gentle squeeze. I moaned once again but leaned in to kiss her. I wanted to feel her skin against mine. Wanted to make her feel good.

Slowly but surely, she removed my clothes till all I wore were my stockings and Korra was completely naked. All the while, we never stopped touching one another. I touched her where I could, so did she. It was slow paced and we were both careful. We kissed again. Passionately while we rediscovered one another.

"I love you… so much…" She breathed between kisses, her hands cupped my face and my heart fluttered. My hands rested on her chest, just above her breasts. The love and adoration that her eyes showed, how she looked at me. It made my breath hitch.

I opened my mouth, and even before I said it, I saw her smile. "I love you too, Korra…" A tear escaped her beautiful eyes and her smile widened. I leaned down to kiss her again, but out of the blue, my world was turned around. Suddenly, I laid on my back and Korra was on top. She… she's on top…? But… her legs. "You… your legs…? Korra?"

She used her arms to support her own body. Even though it clearly cost her a lot of energy. My hands rested on her shoulders but slid down to her biceps. I felt her arms tremble slightly from the intensity of keeping herself up like this. "I-I l-lied…" She said and sweat appeared on her forehead. A proud smile on her face. "I… I can…" She swallowed hard. "My l-legs… I feel… them…" She said, her voice soft but the words forced. "I… did it… for you…" She said and never stopped looking at me. Her smile never wavered.

"Korra… sweetheart…" I said and cupped her face, pushing myself up slightly to kiss her. Then she lowered her core against mine and I rose my own hips to meet hers. She slowly lowered the rest of her body, her head now next to mine. Her mouth close to my ear when she pressed down harder. "Oh Korra…" I moaned sweetly.

"I… I'll never… let you go… I love you…" She whispered in my ear, my arms around her torso now and I held onto her for dear life. A sob broke free from my chest. One strong hand pressed against my back. The other buried in my hair.

Our bodies moved as one in a slow pace. I was still amazed that she had been able to flip me over and laid on top. Our breasts pressed firmly together while I rose my hips when she pressed down. She started to breathe in and out faster. The volume of her soft moans increased. Along with the pace that she rolled her hips. "I love you baby…" I whispered and held onto her like she was my anchor. My lifeline.

It truck us like lightening on a clear day. She whimpered my name and I cried out hers when we climaxed together. Her entire body shook violently but she kept going for a little longer to milk this wonderful feeling that we both felt. Until she collapsed on top of me. Wheezing like she had run a marathon. It took us both a couple of minutes before we calmed down enough for us to even speak.

As we both came down from our most intense joined climax ever, I focused on Korra's face. I just smiled as the tears flowed freely. Out of the blue, the room slowly darkened. Korra's soft voice was the last thing I heard before I blacked out completely.

I gasped. Filled my lungs with fresh air as I suddenly woke up. My heart thundering in my chest. My vision was still slightly blurred but I saw I was in a big room with white walls. "Korra…?" My voice was so hoarse. I hardly recognized it as my own. I blinked a few times and slowly, my vision started to get back into focus. I looked to my right and saw a heart monitor. I moved my legs to get out of bed, but I collapsed onto the floor the moment I tried to stand up. I felt an intense pain that came from my abdomen and I cried out in agony. "Korra…?!" I sobbed, clearly disorientated. The monitor was going wild and the pace of the beeping only intensified.

Suddenly, the door of the room opened and a small group of medical staff entered. Rushed to my side and gave me some sedative. My world darkened again while I constantly repeated one name. Korra… When I woke up the next time, I was in the same room with the most terrible headache known to mankind. There stood a man next me. In a white coat. He wrote some things down on the clipboard he held.

"Welcome back Miss Sato…" I heard him say the words but couldn't see his mouth move.

I swallowed hard. My throat felt like I swallowed sand. "Where… where's Korra..?"

He looked up at me this time when he spoke and this time I did see his mouth move. "Who's Korra Miss?" He asked me genuinely curious.

"My girlfriend…"

"Miss Sato, I'm sorry but no one with that name came to visit you." He said and looked apologetic. He cleared his throat before he continued. "Do you not remember me?"

I turned my head slightly and looked at the man that stood next me. I finally realized who he was. He was the man who had diagnosed me with being too stressed. "I… I saw you… you… you told me… I was… to stressed…"

He nodded. "Yes… and this is the result… someone brought you here with alcohol poison… Apparently, you had quite a few glasses of whiskey… or so she told us."

I shook my head. "No… no I.. I didn't… I didn't keep drinking… I left after… Korra… after she helped me…"

He shook his head. "I diagnosed you… and the same day… you were brought in. You've been here ever since."

Panic filled my heart and tears slowly broke free from my eyes. "I… its… been a dream…? All of it…?" my voice was barely above a whisper at that point.

"Am afraid so… Miss Sato…"

"How… how long have I… have I been in a coma…?"

He looked at me with a worried expression, before he checked his clipboard. "Six months since yesterday…"
