Chapter Three: Hero me.

They decided I would ride a car then boat to Air Temple Island. With the group coming with me, and Tenzin and the Chief. I must be very important to them if that's whose going to escort me. My hands are still shackled, but everyone but Mako is a bit more… less mad. The car was cramped though, and there was a lot of traffic so that left for a lot of awkward silences. But the ever conversationalist gave it a try.

"Ever been in a car before?" Tenzin asked addressing me.

I sigh as I answer, "No, can't say I have."

"What do you think?" Bolin asked.

"They're fast, crowded and rude." I reply, confused at their laughter, all except Mako.

"Ha Ha." Mako said dryly still giving me death glares.

I address the problem of their laughing at me, "What? Bolin asked about I think."
"What do you mean by rude." Korra said.

"Well, listen, they are honking at everything." I said, prompting another round of laughter. I shake my head; it's going to be a relief when I get away from everyone.

Korra's Pov:

Well, she was honest. Somewhat. I thought as she told us what she thinks about the cars. When she spoke everything was true. That is when she answered your questions. I still had to wonder and marvel on how she can bend two elements. Plus stealing Mako's scarf was not a smart move. But not everyone knows the personal value. She must not have parents because no one came when she was arrested. So what we have is a powerful bender and thief who knows how to chi block, but won't tell us anything besides little snippets.

She didn't seem nervous, but maybe she's a good actor. I still had to question Tenzin motives about Air Temple Island. Maybe he thinks it might have her open up. Still I hope we can keep her there. If I got away, I think she can too.

"So what's your name?" Bolin said, breaking my train of thought. She stiffened as if deciding whether it was information she could share. Fidgeted with her sleeves before answering.

"My name is… Kida." She said carefully. I hid my surprise, we assumed she was water tribe, but she looked, different. Her hair was darker than mine, but her skin lighter.

"Where are your parents from?" Asami asked from the front, driving.

This time her spine was erect, and her hands were fists. I wasn't the only one who noticed. Lin and Tenzin saw it. Before we all piled into the car, Lin said.

"I'm let you four do the talking, she opens up to all of you much better than adults." I agreed, but Mako is still mad, we tried having him explain why it was a big deal, but that was just the wrong thing to say. Then he tried to burn her. I've only seen him like that once, when Amon took my bending away. I think he believes Kida is an Equalists and he believes all Equalists are evil. Still she is just a kid, and I am worried about him.

Kida, however, ignored Asami question about her parents and the car became very quiet. Again. We were just arriving at the docks, and Kida was looking out the window, bored. Kida froze again from a sight outside your window. Her eyes darted down to her hands then back out the window. I wish I could have figured it out sooner, but I didn't.

Kida's Pov:

The car trip was fine until the questions got more… personal. My name I think wouldn't do much harm, but my parents are a part of my life I don't have, so I just try not to dwell on that. Until Asami brought them up, I was content. I started to stare out of the window, bored as we pull up to the docks. Then a sight stopped me cold. I glanced down at my hands. I couldn't bend till my hands were free, but this was an emergency. I saw that Korra was looking at me strangely and I think she was starting to figure it out, better do it before they realize anything; I look out the window again, and then explode.

I jump out of the car rolling as I hit the ground; I bent water into ice in behind me and took off running. That way I had a head start with Tenzin, the chief and Korra. Those would be the ones to catch up to me. As I ran I melted my shackles, soon they fell off. I ducked through dock crowds and the neared the back and I was close enough to fight. Four huge Triple Threat Triads were surrounding Tyla and Benji; the family that helped me when I got very sick one cold winter. They had scared the mother and son into an alley way so that no one would see until it was too late. I hoped no one from the group would catch me until I took care of these thugs. I prayed the crowds would keep them busy.

They were probably trying to get back at me for shutting down a big shipment a couple weeks ago. This was their revenge.

"Hey tough guys! Over here!" as they turned I attacked. All of them were benders, two fire, one water and one earth. The two fire blasted flames at me but I part them with my hands, then grabbing water I froze one to the wall. One down three to go. Mr. Earth tried to knock me down, but I deflected one boulder with fire and dodged the other. Then I blasted three fire balls at water and froze Mr. Earth. That just left one fire and water. Easy. Fire and water both tried at the same time but under the cover of steam I flipped over them and blocked their chi, just as everyone arrived. I ran quickly over to Tyla and Benji, whispering.

"Hurry and get out of here."

"Thank you Kida." Tyla said, picking up toddler Benji.

"Thanks Kede!" Benji said happily as they ran down the alley, just disappearing as The Chief wrapped coils around me. Oh, they are still doing this?

"What happened here? An escape attempt? Just wanted to have a little fun?" Lin barked at me, I just glared. They find out, then Tyla and Benji could get hurt.

"I'll tell you what happened." Came a quivery voice from behind a cart. Korra and the group were examining the damage, but turned to listen, and I groaned.

"This… y-young l-l-lady," said a timid women peering up from her cart nearby, "s-s-saved a m-m-mother and son from a-a-a Triple Threat Triad g-g-g-gang." I growled softly at the end. More questions for them to bother me with. Korra and her friends whipped around to stare, while Lin raised one eyebrow.

"Is that so?" Tenzin said.

"What! You took out these guys to save a family? Kida you just keep on surprising me." Bolin said, shaking his head in amazement. "And we thought you were trying to escape."

"Maybe I was and these thugs got in the way." I shot back.

"Kida, you're lying." Chief Beifong said. I groaned and closed my eyes. Right. Earthbender.

"Since I'm all hero now, how about letting me go?" I asked hopefully.

"Answer all our questions and we will." Tenzin said. I hid my surprise, is that all they want? Answers?

"But we all know that's not going to happen." Came an angry voice, Mako. I glare at him but he returns the favor. I gasp in pain as the adrenaline wore off, now my burn is even worse, and the metal coils are not helping.

"Kida, are… are you hurt?" Asami asked timidly. And I weigh my options, should I? or should I not?

"Umm… just a little." I look at Lin and she releases me. I slowly lift my jacket and revel my burn. Eveyone stares in shock.

"You have been fighting everyone with that?" Korra said. I nod slowly, as a fresh wave of pain comes over me; as blood comes through the burn. My knees go weak, and darkness greets me. And I accept with a weary mind.

What do you think? Review and I still need pictures of Kida for the cover. Bye!
