Chapter Six: The Two way Street
Dinner was awkward to say the least. No one spoke much besides the kids, and the loudest noise that could be heard was slurping of the food. Which was delicious and cooked by Pema, who I liked immediately, she had a very kind face. Korra and Bolin were talking with the kids, whose names I learned were, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo plus the baby, Rohun. Mako was refusing to meet my eyes and Asami looked lost in thought. I plowed through three plates of food and was on my fourth when I felt eyes on me. I look to see surprised and amused faces.
"What?" I ask through a mouthful of food.
"Nothing, nothing." Korra stated bemused.
"Just that you're on your fourth plate." Bolin said.
"Your point is?" I ask still eating.
"Are you never full?" Asami asked, joining on the conversation.
"Not really." I finishing up the food and reach for more, much to the amusement of everyone at the table.
"I still don't see why it's funny." I say, confused. Thankfully it was Pema that clarified everything for me.
"Kida, you just ate all of dumplings and ocean kumquats, and we still have fruit pie to eat. You're a tiny thing and for you to eat all that food is surprising."
"Oh. Right, umm, sorry." I say.
"Not a problem, next time I'll just make more." Pema said kindly, cuddling baby Rohun.
I stop eating, happy with the first full stomach I had in a long time. It was a weird situation though, with the family and the gang all there. I felt somewhat unsure on what to do or behave. Maybe next time not eat all their food. Soon though the fruit pie is brought out and my earlier resolution is forgotten. After my third piece of the delicious pie, I stop, content to relax. I had not felt this satisfied in a long time. Eating as much as you want does that for you I guess.
"Daddy, did you find all the nasty Equalists yet?" Jinora questioned, looking up from her book.
"Not all of them, some Equalists are hiding, but all the dangerous ones we have caught." Tenzin said.
This sparked my interests; there are Equalists still at large? "Good thing, Amon and Tarrlock are dead then." I say eyeing another piece of pie. I decide against it though, I look up when I realized all the conversation has stopped.
"What?" I ask, annoyed that this happens a lot.
"Kida how do you know Amon is dead." Tenzin asks seriously.
"Tarrlock killed him; he exploded the boat they were on. They both died. It was all over the streets." I say, suddenly understanding, "You thought they got away. You didn't know."
"Are you sure their dead?" Korra asks.
"Yep, I saw the boat myself; no way they could have survived."
"How did you see the boat?" Mako asks.
"I was going to tear it apart, see if anything was useful." I mutter.
"And?" Asami questioned.
"And nothing, there was nothing to use, it was completely destroyed."
"Where is this boat?" Tenzin questioned.
"Right where I left it. Underwater." I say hoping they will drop the topic, I regret bringing it up. Tenzin nods, deep in thought.
I stand, thank Pema and leave. If I stayed, no doubt I would have been bothered for more information. I head to the training area, and do a couple drills. A soft cough stops me, from a rather hard drill. I was practicing bending with my hands behind my back. Just in case I get caught again by police. Fire was the easiest, but water requires me to take it from thin air, and then bend it with minimal movement. I turn and see Mako, immediately putting me on my guard.
"Look, I… I just want to, uh, apologize for not trusting you." Mako says, somewhat embarrassed.
"Well, trust is a two way street, maybe we just got off on the wrong foot." I say as I doge and weave invisible attacks, and throw fire and water at the target dummies.
"Let's just start over with on everything, deal." Mako says.
"Deal." I say, and then take a deep breath.
I stand into a handstand, and then only on one hand, so I looked like a star. With another deep breath I push off while in the air pulling the water from the ocean, while I flip through the air. Two tendrils snake through the air, and I bend them into circling impossibly fast around me, in complex patterns. Then I add fire, curling around the water but never touching, that would ruin everything. When I finish it looks similar to a large ornate ball of flame and water, at which I am in the center, spinning around me. With a yell I bend the two elements and merge the fire and water creating two whips one of fire and another of water. I then aim for a dummy. As the element collide against the dummy, its blast off the stand and is missing two limbs. I relax, tired, and start when I see Mako. I had forgotten he was here.
"How did you do that?" Mako said eyes wide.
"Lots and lots and lots of practice." I say, tired. There was a long silence which I just cannot stand.
"Well good night." I say.
"Yeah, night." Mako muttered, as he walked off.
As I head to my room, I think back to dinner. Their reaction to Amon was unsettling, they obviously didn't know. I open my door to see the Chief and Tenzin.
"Can I help you?" I say coolly, dreading the answerer I already know.
"We need your help with an Equalists problem." The Chief said.
"Right," I sigh, knowing I don't have a choice about to help them or not. And so it begins.
