A/N: Hello lovies! Sorry I took a bit longer then normal on this update. I went over to a friends house on Friday then when I came home started trying to catch up on my sleep and relax my sore muscles. I hope you enjoy this chapter, it took me about... 6 hours to remember things and figure out how to weave Kanna in good with this one. I changed very small details (again..) to make it how I wanted it but I still hope you enjoy! Leave me a review, let me know what you think and maybe suggest something cute/funny for a moment between Kanna and Bolin. Love you guys, I'm so surprised at the number of hits this story has gotten in the past week or so that it's been up. Review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra, if I did Bolin would be my cuddle buddie (or paired with Kanna) and Pabu would be added to my plushies. SO CUTE! Love you guys!

Chapter Six

The New Team Avatar

While Korra and Tenzin went to the inauguration of the new Chief of Police, Kanna showed Bolin around, Mako and Asami had left a bit earlier with some Air Acolytes to gather their things for their move to the island.

"So what would you like to see first?" Kanna asked with a smile, gesturing around them.

"Hmmm… why don't you show me your favorite places?" Bolin suggested.

Nodding Kanna grabbed his hand and lead him down a path to an area people didn't go very often, the tree's opening up onto a small clearing, a koi pond at its center. "This is my favorite spot to just sit and enjoy the peacefulness. Avatar Aang had this area set up for his wife Master Katara as an anniversary present. At night the moon reflects off the water and gives this clearing a celestial glow." Kana said, smiling softly as she looked at the pond, remembering how beautiful it had been the night she had stumbled upon it. "This is also where Pema told Tenzin she loved him. This place is just so full of love and happy memories…"

Bolin smiled before noticing a small patch of flowers off to one side. "What are those?" he asked, walking over and staring down at the delicate looking things.

"Oh those are a flower that is related to the Panda Lily. Avatar Aang wanted to have panda lilies brought in to surround the pond, but unfortunately they only grown in very warm places, such as the ridge of a volcano. So instead he found a very similar flower that he thought suited this place even better. They're called Moon Lilies, when they bloom they are a very pretty shade of blue and in the moonlight they almost glow. They also have a very light and pleasant scent." Bending a small bit of water from the pond Kanna lightly watered the lilies, smiling as a breeze wafted the lilies lovely scent around them. "These are my favorite flowers on the entire island."

Closing his eyes and letting the smell of the flowers surround his senses Bolin nodded, completely understanding why she liked them so much. Thinking about it, the scent sort of reminded him of Kanna, all that was missing was the small of an ocean breeze. "They sure are nice. I like this place, it's relaxing."

"Yeah, it is." Kanna mumbled, her eyes softening as she looked over at Bolin, glad to be sharing this simple, innocent moment with him.

Looking off towards the Air Temple Bolin noticed steam rising into the air, curiously he looked over at Kanna, pointing towards it. "What's over there?"

"Oh that's where the hot springs are, they are mainly used for therapeutic reasons, but occasionally Tenzin lets us use them to relax after a long day of training." Kanna said offhandedly, using her bending to move a few leaves off of the surface of the pond.

"A hot spring?" asked Bolin excitedly, liking the sound of that, though blushing when he looked over at Kanna. "A co-coed hot spring?"

Kanna looked up at him blankly for a moment before blushing, nearly falling into the pond. "Oh no no no no! There is a wall separating the men's side from the women's." she said quickly, her blush extremely bright. Fidgeting with her braid she quickly turned, clearing her throat. "Korra and Tenzin should be back soon as well as your brother and Asami. We should head back to the Temple."

With a small smile as he looked back at the Moon Lilies, Bolin nodded, quickly following after Kanna. Once they reached the docks they started helping unload Asami's things, quite surprised at how much she had brought with her, chuckling when hearing that it could have been worse.

As night started to fall Kanna started wondering where her sister was. Joined but Bolin, Mako and Asami they started looking for her. Calling out her sister's name Kanna noticed Pabu moving quickly through some bushes and towards the cliffs. Could she be looking at the statue of Avatar Aang? Kanna silently wondered, following after the fire ferret.

When she and the others found Korra, Kanna's heart went out to her big sister. So many people kept turning to her, trying to use her for their own selfish reasons. All she wanted to do was make everyone happy, but by not having connected to her spiritual side, or made very good progress at airbending, Korra felt like she was failing as the Avatar.

"Korra, what are you doing out here?" Kanna asked, taking a step towards her sister.

"Just thinking…" Korra mumbled with a strained smile.

"Korra…" Kanna walked up to her sister and hugged her, knowing that even if she struggled, that she really needed it. "Don't be so down on yourself. Some things just take time, you need to have faith in yourself."

Korra hugged her sister back, thankful she understood.

Everyone else said their piece about how Korra was an amazing Avatar, picking up her spirits as they declared themselves the new Team Avatar. They all decided to go on patrols, scouring the city for things to help with. But when all five of them tried to get on Naga, she threw them faster than you can say 'Noodle'.

Asami though, ever the resourceful one had an idea, revealing that she had one of her favorite toys brought over. Everyone piled into the Satomobile, Kanna ended up in between Korra and Bolin, a bit snug, but not to the point she felt smushed.

On the road they all listened to the police scanner that Asami said her father installed in all of his cars, when they hear they hear the police talking about an Equalist prison break. They see a truck and a few bikes scream past and head after the Equalists, Asami keeping up with them easily.

During the chase Korra and Bolin used their earthbending to make a ramp for the car to jump over truck that had gotten in their way. Mako shot lightning at one of the chi-blockers on a bike, effectively knocking him out of the car chase while Bolin shot bits of the road at another, causing him to crash and burn as well.

The remaining bike made a smoke screen in an attempt to get away but moving the ground to help the car make a sharp turn they sneak up on them, Asami ramming the bikes with the car, knocking the two chi-blockers onto it.

Mako tried shooting fire at the one in front of him but his hands got tried up. Trying to help Kanna stood and pulled water out of her waterskin, lashing out at the chi-blocker who dodged it before having to turn her attention to the one right in front of her. Bolin tried throwing a few rocks at him, only changing himself into the main focus, the chi-blocker hitting his arm in a few places, blocking his bending before Asami reached back and shocked the guy.

While Asami shocked the other guy, Kanna grabbed the one already knocked out, with a small grunt she flipped him and he rolled off the back of the car, hitting the ground with a thud. As Asami pulled up next to the truck, Mako shot lightning in through the passenger window, shocking the drive and sending the truck crashing onto its side.

Hopping out they moved quickly to the truck, noting that the door was stuck the others moved to get the drive and the chi-blockers they had knocked out. Kanna pulled a fist sized amount of water out of her waterskin, sending it against and into the door lock, quickly freezing it with a snap of her wrist. Lifting her foot up she quickly slammed it into the spot she froze, breaking the lock and causing the door to fly open, the escaped Equalists falling out.

When Tarrlok, his task force and the police showed up a photographer was taking Team Avatar's picture, Kanna was shyly trying to hide behind Bolin who was eating up the attention, smiling and puffing his chest up a bit. Korra turned and talked to Tarrlok, patronizing him about how they had already caught the Equalists and how they hadn't even seen him and his people until just now.

While her sister was busy pushing Tarrlok's buttons, Kanna went over to the car, hopping into the backseat and laying her head back and closing her eyes with a sigh, wondering if every day as a member of Team Avatar was going to be like this. When she opened her eyes though she gasped in shock, wondering how Bolin had snuck up on her, his face just inches from her own.

"What are you doing over here Kanna?" he asked innocently, wondering why she had snuck away from the group.

"Oh, I'm just… I'm not big on having so much attention on me is all…" she said with a blush, wondering why his face was still so close.

"Ah yeah that's understandable." He said, hopping in next to her and stretching with a yawn, his arm falling across her shoulders. "So what are we all going to do to celebrate a job well done?"

Kanna stared at her lap, a blush spreading across her face like wildfire. "Uhm… we could always… maybe relax in the hot springs… maybe enjoy some cold fruity drinks." Kanna suggested, fidgeting with her hair.

"That's a great idea!" he said turning to tell the others. "Hey guys! Victory party at the Air Temple! Relaxing hot Springs and fruity drinks!"

Kanna sighed as she slipped into the water, feeling all of her muscles relax until she felt like part of the water herself. Reaching behind her she grabbed the tray with fruity drinks on it, offering them to Asami and Korra, who each took one gratefully.

Using her waterbending she lifted the try so it was resting on the top of the eight foot high rock that separated the guys from the girls. "Bolin, if you guys want your drinks they're on top of the wall." said Kanna before sipping on her drink happily.

"Thanks Kanna!" Bolin yelled back, earthbending one of the rocks at the top loose and gently bringing the drinks down, smiling as he grabbed his favorite. "Ya know Mako, this is the life. Fighting bad guys, then coming home and relaxing." He said with a sigh, holding up his glass. "To Team Avatar!"

"To Team Avatar!" echoed back at him from the girl's side, followed by a giggle from Kanna.

Bolin smiled, thinking that laugh was pretty cute. "Hey Mako… what do you think about Kanna?" Bolin asked while sipping his drink nonchalantly.

"She's a nice kid, strong bender and is pretty I guess." Mako said with a shrug before looking at his brother questioningly. "Why?"

"Oh no reason, I was just curious is all." Bolin mumbled, focusing on his drink, hoping Mako would attribute the redness of his face to the hot water.

"Do you… do you like Kanna or something Bolin?" Mako asked in a low voice, smiling when Bolin's face just got redder. "You do!"

"Sh-shut up…" Bolin said, turning from his brother and sipping at his drink dejectedly. "Even if I did I doubt she'd feel the same way."

"Bolin, look at me bro." Mako said, waiting for his brother to look at him. "I'm sure that she'd feel the same. Besides at the very least you can ask her on a date and see how things go."

Bolin smiled slightly, thankful for his brother's advice. "Thanks big bro."

"Not a problem little bro." Mako said with a smile, sighing and sinking farther into the water.

Kanna sipped up the last bit of her fruit drink, wishing it wasn't gone before setting the cup down. "Hey Korra… Asami… I was hoping for a bit of advice…" Kanna mumbled, almost hoping the other girls hadn't heard her.

"Sure Kanna, what did you need advice about?" asked Asami, Korra looking at her sister as well.

"I… I was wondering… how to tell if… if a guy likes you…" Kanna mumbled while fiddling with her hair and looking down at the water shyly.

"Kan, is this about Bolin?" asked Korra with a smile, laughing when Kanna looked at her in shock.

"Wh-what makes you th-think that?" Kanna asked with wide eyes.

Asami giggled, putting a calming hand on the younger girls shoulder. "I think you and Bolin would be cute together."

Kanna blushed even more brightly, sinking down until the water was just under her eyes, hugging her knees to her chest.

"Kanna we're not teasing you. Honestly we're not." Korra and Asami both assured the girl, pulling her up some so she wouldn't drown.

Sighing Kanna looked at the older girls, her expression wary. "I just… I don't know what to do. I just get so nervous around him sometimes I just babble. But other times… just being next to him seems like the most natural thing in the world…"

"Well if what I've seen is any indication, I think Bolin might like you. I mean he's a complete sweetheart and you two just seem to gravitate towards each other." Asami said.

"Plus you guys work really well together too. Why do you think we always paired you two up during practice? It's like you guys are on the same wave length and it's effortless. You each make up for the other's weakness." Korra said with a smile as she slung an arm over her sister's shoulders. "Just give him some time, he'll come around and everything will work itself out."

"Yeah, besides I can always get Mako to help aim Bolin your direction as well." said Asami with a laugh.

Kanna looked at her in wide eyed horror, "You most certainly will not!" she said, rising her feet and slamming her fist again the water and causing it to slap against the edges of the hot spring. "I don't need people trying to hook me up." She growled, making sure to keep her voice low enough that the boys wouldn't hear, but still getting her point across.

Asami looked hurt for a moment before recovering nodding her head. "Alright, I understand. I'm sorry if I upset you Kanna…"

Sighing Kanna sunk back into the water, pulling her knees up to her chin and watching the steam rise off the water. "Whatever."

Korra signaled to Asami that they should leave, each grabbing their towels and leaving the young girl to herself. Asami sent one last look at Kanna before rising to her feet and joining Korra inside.

Kanna took a few deep breaths, calming herself and finally feeling bad. Asami had only been trying to help and Kanna had blown up and threw it back in her face with anger. She'd apologize in the morning she decided, wanting to give Asami a bit of time to herself.

She was completely taken by surprise when the tray from earlier landed next to her, Mako and Bolin's glasses on them.

"Did they land in the water?" came Bolin's voice from the other side.

"Actually they made a perfect landing on the ground with no damage." Kanna replied back with amazement.

"Score! I was hoping that would happen but didn't want to get my hopes up. It's really quiet over there. Did the other girls leave?" Bolin asked.

"Yeah they turned in for the night." Kanna said, hoping she didn't sound guilty. "Did Mako turn in too or something?"

"Yeah said he wanted a good night's sleep and left a few minutes ago. So I guess it's just you and me all by our lonesome."

Kanna smiled rolling her eyes with a laugh. "Dunno for how much longer. We'll start getting all wrinkly soon." She said, looking down at her hands and shaking her head.

"Haha yeah, but hey we can get wrinkly together!" he said with a snort.

Kanna giggled, bending a bit of water over the wall and onto his head.

"Hey what was that for!" he said with and indignant laugh.

"Don't want your wrinkles to be uneven." She laughed, holding her sides.

"You're lucky I can't water bend or you'd be soaked right now!" Bolin laughed.

Stretching and getting up out of the water Kanna wrapped her towel around herself, using her bending to pull as much water as possible off her skin. "Uh-huh sure. Hey I'm going to head inside Bolin, I'm getting tired."

"Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I'll see you in the morning, goodnight Kanna." Bolin said while pulling himself out of the water.

Kanna smiled as she looked at the wall, her eyes holding a fondness in them. "Goodnight Bolin."

The next evening the gang is hanging out by the car when they hear a police report over the scanner about Equalists. Bolin hops in in yelling shot-gun so Korra, Kanna and Mako all pile in the back, Korra commenting on Mako being a gentleman while Kanna pushes herself against the wall of the car, noting Asami's slightly jealous look at her sister.

When they arrived at their destination they notice there's no power. The people in the street are not Equalists, merely non-bender who've had their power cut and are not happy about it. As the group got out of the car to figure out what's going on, the people noticed Korra and one woman pointed out that she should do something because she's their Avatar too.

While Korra went to breath down Tarrlok's neck, Kanna stayed with Bolin, wondering why the police forces were treating these people so horribly. "Why can't everyone just get along instead of punishing each other for the actions of a few? This is so stupid."

Bolin nodded his head, feeling the exact same way. "My thoughts exactly."

When the Police Force starts rounding the people up, Korra intervenes, setting them back on the ground, allowing some to escape. While she argued about how they shouldn't be doing this, Tarrlok used his waterbending to grab Asami's wrist pulling her away from the group and into his custody, saying that she's a non-bender out past curfew and that her father is a known Equalist.

Growling Kanna steped forward to try to help, but then Tarrlok told the metalbenders to arrest them all. Gasping in surprise as her hands are suddenly tried tightly behind her back, Kanna struggles, kicking out at her captors. "Let me go! You have no right to do this, you're just as bad as Amon!" she yelled before being roughly thrown into the back of the truck, hitting her head roughly against the wall.

"Shut up you stupid girl! We're trying to protect the city, where as Amon wants to destroy it!" Tarrlok growled at her.

"Could have fooled me…" She said while glaring at him as she struggled against her restraints.

"Let them go Tarrlok!" Korra growled, holding two huge slabs of rock above her head.

"Korra, calm down! Go get Tenzin, we'll be fine." Kanna said as she sat up, trying to smile reassuringly at her sister, ignoring the taste of copper on her lips.

Korra sighed, glaring at Tarrlok before dropping the rocks. "Fine, but if you hurt so much as one hair on my sister's head… there is nowhere on this planet you can hide." growled Korra before stomping off.

As the doors closed and the truck sped off Kanna struggled to her feet, falling into the seat next to Bolin and spitting the metallic taste from her mouth, realizing she had a busted lip.

"Kanna are you okay?" asked Bolin with worry, noticing her bleeding lower lip.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired it all…" she mumbled, resting her head on his shoulder, wincing when they hit a bump and the tender spot on her head bashed against the wall. "Owwie…" she mumbled, her eyes getting heavier by the minute.

"Kanna… Kanna! You need to stay awake! I think you have a concussion..." Bolin said, nudging her with his chin, his eyes full of worry for the girl.

Kanna nodded, though not really understanding since she was on that fine line between consciousness and sleep.

"Mako what do I do? She's falling asleep!" Bolin asked his brother, needing some solid advice right now.

"Get her to talk and then keep her talking. Shake her if she starts to doze off." suggested Mako, his own eyes flashing with worry.

"Kanna, hey Kanna why don't you tell me something about your childhood? A funny little story or something. I'd love to know." said Bolin, nudging her awake.

"Hmm… Uhm…" through her grogginess Kanna heard Bolin's request, trying hard she thought back to her childhood, shooing away the fuzzy memories. "Me and Korra… we used to have penguin sled races, she normally won but one time, I beat her by…. By jumping off an ice ramp… she was so… so proud of me." Kanna mumbled, nuzzling Bolin's shoulder and starting to doze off again.

"Kanna wake up! What about more recently? What's one of your favorite things that's happened recently?" he asked, shaking her again trying to keep her from falling into dreamland.

"Favorite… recent memory?" she asked in confusion, trying hard to think of one, and almost every single one had to do with a certain earthbender. "Showing you that… that clearing with the koi pond. That was… such a nice day." She mumbled, looking up at him with cloudy eyes and s faint smile. "I enjoyed being there with you…"

Before Bolin could say anything the backdoor's of the truck opened and metalbender officers started pulling them out of the truck. Bolin growled at the one handling Kanna, wanting to beat him senseless when she cried out, her head having hit against the wall when the guy pulled her out.

A few minutes later all of them had been stuffed into cells, Bolin in with his brother, and Asami and Kanna in the cell next to theirs. Asami tended to Kanna as best she could, sighing thankfully when Kanna's grogginess started to fade, her eyes becoming more alert.

"What the heck happened?" Kanna asked while holding her head, looking around their cell with a frown.

"Basically you got manhandled and we've all been thrown in jail." Asami said with a sigh, sitting down on the bed opposite of Kanna.

"Kanna? Are you okay?" asked Bolin with worry, wondering how she was doing.

"I'll be fine Bolin, stop worrying." She said with a small smile, remembering he had watched out for her in the truck. "Hey Bolin…"

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Thanks for watching out for me, in the truck." She said with a blush.

"Hey I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to you, I almost kicked an officer's butt because he was handling you too roughly." Bolin joked.

Kanna smiled before sighing, leaning up against the wall and fiddling with her braid. I wonder how long we're going to be in here… she thought to herself while humming lightly. I hope Korra gets here soon.
