I AM SO SORRY! I meant to post this a lot sooner but its here now. And I gave you a decent sized Chapter to make up for it!

CH 3 Recovery.

Its 3 AM in republic city, and its been only 2 days since korra's battle against the red lotus. She's barely slept, and asami is very worried. Worried that the strong, fierce and determined woman she met won't pull through. Worried that korra will give up. She doesn't want to lose korra. The one person that means the most to her.

Asami walks into Korra's room for the 4th time tonight. Korra was in the middle of another nightmare.
"Raava help her." Asami said to herself as she walked over to Korra's bedside. When she sits down korra shoots up, waking in a cold sweat and tears running down her face.

Korra's face went pale when she realized asami was next to her.

"Korra, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Just another nightmare."

"Korra, there is no such thing as just a nightmare with you. You can talk to me about it." Asami said in a soothing voice.

After a few minutes of silence, asami got up and walked towards the door. But she was stopped
when korra spoke out.

"Its Zaheer. He's in my dreams. The moment he poisoned me, tried to suck the air from me. That whole day just replays all day and night." Asami came Back to korra's side and sat down. By then Korra's eyes were flowing with tears.

"I feel like such a failure. Like everything I have ever done. Was for nothing." korra said.

"Korra, you are not a failure. You have done More in your lifetime than any avatar has ever done in their lives. You stopped a revolution, opened the portals and stopped Vaatu while ending a civil war. AND you took down the world's worst terrorist group. What in your mind makes you think that you are a failure?"

"I don't know? Maybe it is the fact that I can't move at all?" korra snapped.

"Korra, calm down. You know that its only temporary. You will recover. You just need some time."

"Yeah what will i be then,Huh?! Just another avatar?" Korra grumbles.

"A stronger, wiser, and more determined person than you ever were." Asami replies.

Long days and sleepless nights dragged on for korra, then the day of Jinora's ceremony came. Asami was the one (as usual) to get korra ready for the day.

"There you go, all dressed up for a formal avatar appearance." asami said, holding a mirror up for korra, who just nods. Since that night two weeks ago, korra has gotten worse. She's barely slept, eaten or talked unless she wanted someone to go away. (Mako, more times than anyone else. Dark bags surrounded her eyes and she was skinnier than ever.

Korra sat through the ceremony, and to her, it seemed to drag on for hours.

"Jinora come forward". She did so. "Today we welcome the first airbending master in a generation, and I couldn't be more proud of my daughter. When the existence of our people was threatened, when the avatar's life hung in the balance, jinora never gave up hope. Thanks to her leadership, I see a bright future for the Air Nation. And of course there would be no Air nation without avatar Korra. She opened the portals and somehow the world began anew for us.

He turns to korra. "Avatar korra, we promise to do whatever we can to follow in your footsteps, and bring Harmony to the world." Tenzin bows to korra, and she nods back. "Now, lets introduce the new airbending master and may she lead us on a brighter path." Tenzin finished.

Music played, people danced, Jinora with Kai under Tenzins watchful eye while he danced with Pema.

Asami was sitting next to Korra, while eating a couple of fire flakes. She turns to Korra. "Are you okay?" Korra shakes her head.
"Okay, we'll leave here In a couple of minutes, I need to tell Tenzin."

A few weeks later...

Korra lays in her bed, more awake and fearful than ever. She had just woken from another nightmare. The sun was barely peeking up. Nothing different about this one. Asami walks in, she knows that Korra will only talk to her.. Asami sits next to her. "Another Nightmare?" She asks. "Yeah, its the same one.. Its always HIM." Korra says tearing up. Asami moves in to embrace her. "Hey. He's in prison, and not getting out, and neither is P'li. You are safe." she says, attempting to reassure the Avatar.

"Maybe not but he's still roaming free in my mind!" korra says raising her voice. What good is a prison If he's still in my head!" Korra's voice continues to raise.

Tenzin peeks through the door, worried that Korra is breaking down. He fears that if she doesn't get over this soon, she won't last. And he isn't far off. He closes the door and then walks back down the hall.

"I can't get him out! My head feels like it's going explode! I Haven't been able to sleep, and the healers aren't even getting close to helping me walk! I think the only way this is gonna end is if I end Me. the world has told me it doesn't need me anymore. " Asami's Head shot up at these words. "Nothing is worki-" Asami Interrupts Korra, mid sentence.

"NO! HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK THAT KORRA!? THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS NEED YOU. Asami's heart sank. Tenzin needs you Naga, your parents. I, I Need you." asami said, clasping korra's hand in hers.

"W-What?" korra stutters.

"Korra, I wouldn't have a reason to live if you were gone. My father is in jail, and mom is gone. The world wouldn't last without the avatar. Especially with the way the earth kingdom is. And the world can't afford to wait another 17 years for the next. And I can't afford to lose you too. I love you korra. "

Asami's words echoed in korra's mind as she fell in Asami's embrace

"I-I love you too Asami." Korra said, tears flowing freely.

After that night, time seemed to fly, nightmares less frequent but still there. Days after that night, word had gotten around air temple island of Korra and Asami's relationship. Noone was very judgemental of the relationship, but that was because korra had been in the best mood since The incident with Zaheer.

It was mid-summer that brought about more change. More airbenders began showing up at Air Temple Island. And an unexpected visit from someone

Korra and Asami were sitting outside On the island's beach, Enjoying their day together when they were interrupted by Jinora.

She flew down to them and landed with the grace of a flying Bison. "Korra! Asami! There is a group of white lotus members looking for you. They want to tell you something."

Korra looks back at Asami, "well what is it?"

"I don't know... But he did say it was urgent." Jinora said as she took off back to the living quarters of the island. Korra and Asami followed suit. Within a couple of minutes they made it to the door of the living room. Korra sighed. "lets see what other problem the world has to throw my way."

The door opened and just Inside were 6 lotus members and A Grand lotus. The Grand Lotus turned around and faced the couple.

"Avatar Korra, I must speak with you."
