Item: Parachute
Pairing: Linumi
Prompt by: sindzero
"Bumi, I have to call her."
"No, please don't. Can't you get Korra?"
Asami shook her head as she looked up at Bumi, who was strapped into a parachute hanging from the top of the Sato estate. "She's visiting her parents."
"And you're not with her?"
"That's not the issue here."
"Tenzin? Su?"
"Tenzin is at the Eastern Air Temple, I don't know where Su is, Bolin is on a date with Opal and Mako wouldn't be of much help in this situation. Why won't you let me call her?"
Bumi let out a sigh as he avoided her gaze. "I promised her that I wouldn't do anymore beta testing for you after the last time."
"It wasn't that, uh, bad." This was a terrible understatement and they both knew it. Bumi had volunteered to test the new flight suits, which would have been a success if he knew how to land. The end result was that he ended up stuck on top of the Republic City bridge for two hours, so metalbending officers had to help him down. Traffic was at a standstill, and it left a very angry Chief Beifong in its wake. "What's the worse that could happen?
Lin Beifong was angry. When she tells someone not to do something, it's not because she's mean, it's because she cares for their safety. So when she received a call from Asami Sato, telling her that her boyfriend was hanging from the roof of the mansion, she was pissed. "Bumi!"
"Heeeeeey, Honey."
"Don't 'honey' me. What did I tell you, time and time again?"
"Not to volunteer as a test subject."
"That's right. So why did I receive a call from miss Sato, telling me you got into another stupid situation?"
Bumi looked away, shame and embarrassment all over his face. "I was just trying to help."
Lin took a deep breath to calm her nerves before addressing her 'cat stuck in a tree.' "Okay. I'm coming up, stay tight." Flexing her arms at the earth, Lin raised herself up on a platform until she reached him. "You okay?"
"Actually, I can't feel my legs. I think the blood has been cut off."
Extending the blade on her armguard, she cut the ropes attached to the harness, causing Bumi to collapse onto the earth platform. "So what did we learn?"
"No more testing products?"
"And?"
"Lin is always right."
A grin graced her face as she knelt down and placed a kiss on his forehead. "And don't you forget it."
