Currently Tenzin and Korra were waiting in the pound to retrieve Naga, Korra felt her eye twitch at the tense atmosphere and that a giant Platypus Bear was sitting next to an old lady currently stared right at her. C-reeeeepy! With that she turned to Tenzin, arms leveled with her waist she held her palms upright in a motion of trying to convince, "Tenzin. Please don't send me back home."

"You blatantly disobeyed my orders and the orders of the white Lotus." Tenzin's tone was stern, head tilted slightly up as he kept his hands folded in the small of his back under his air bender robes.

Korra shook her head, shoulders slumped head slightly downwards as she raised her hands and motioned in a way that says why can you not understand, and "Katara agreed with me that I should come." Hands now aliened together palm to palm but slightly spread apart Korra's blue eyes were a bit shiny as she tried to wiggle in weak puppy dog eyes as she continued to speak, "She said it my destiny was in Republic City."

"Don't bring my mother into this!" Tenzin's whole head above his mouth was red as he held his anger, tone still somehow calm as he glared down at Korra.

A weirded out expression vanished from her face, 'Whoa Tenzin looked freakish mad.' Shaking her head Korra continued, "Look—I can't wait any longer to finish my training." Her hand gestures were getting a bit more expressive now, "Being cooped up and hidden away from the world isn't helping me become a better Avatar."

During this time, Tenzin stroked his beard and listened quietly.

Hand to chest Korra leant forward a bit, "I saw a lot of the city today and it's totally out of wack." Arms dropping to her side, eyes going half-lidded Korra began to finish her argument, "And I've seen Republic city does need you…" with that she caught Tenzin's eyes and clasped her hands together and held them in front of her chest, "But it needs me too!"

Tenzin leant down a bit to her height, "You—uh…uh…." He trailed off hand hanging limp at waist level as he sighed. Korra got him there.

"Also…I need to know why Yuya left without telling me." Left hand falling to her side, making a fist the other laid flat against her chest. She had to know. "I need to know that as well Tenzin! For all I know right now she could be hurt …because I dragged her into something again! She fell from the sky!"

Seeing the distressed young Avatar, Tenzin was about to say something till he heard a metal door open. The two turned to see a man and Naga.

"Is this your Polar-Bear dog miss?"

Naga was currently enjoying herself as she licked the dog guard once more causing his face to become even sourer.

Bolin continued to watch Mako and Yuya throw insults at each other as they went back to the Pro-Bending arena and Gym. Scratching the back of his head he was amazed those two could keep that up for almost two hours.

"Oh-ho? Want to say that again, sparky?"

"Sparky? That an insult?"

"No it is what Toph Beifong called Fire Lord Zuko."

"How the heck do you even know that?"

"Water Bending teacher was Katara, the Avatar's wife."

"For the love of—you are the most annoying…"

Bolin then decided to jump in, stepping between the two with a laugh, "Hey come on now! You two are just like each other—whoa!" suddenly fixed with two blank if not peeved looks from his brother and the small water tribe girl Bolin swallowed nervously, "Guys…?"

"Call a small temporary truce, Mako?" Yuya glanced at Mako with a small smirk.

Mako glanced back, "Yes. Temporary."

With that the two thrust out their palms, sending a straight stream of fire courteous of Mako, while water twirled in a spiral around the fire right towards Bolin.

"Wah!" jerking his arms up in a quick horse stance, Bolin pulled up a wall of stone from the floor, "Hey! Not cool!"

"Excuse me?"

Turning the three glanced at the newcomer.

"Friend of yours?" Yuya asked her expression going back once more to half-lidded and blank if not bored.

"No seems like a police…but…."

"Seriously young! I know him—that is Hanzo!" Bolin gave a wave as he rushed over, "Hey there Hanzo!"

"Hello Bolin. I am looking for someone named Yuya…Chief Beifong asked me to bring her back to Air Temple Island."

"Oh." Yuya stepped out from behind Mako who pretty much towered over her and blocked her from view. Damn males. Raising her hand slightly she spoke in monotone, "I am her."

Bolin and Mako were slightly creped out at the fact she suddenly became blank. Were all water tribe girls like this?

"Oh!" smiling Hanzo took Yuya's hands into his own, closing his eyes he tilted his head, "Nice to meet you! I like your outfit. I wish the Chief Beifong let us wear nice things." Suddenly a bit startled and red as Yuya began to pat him down he sputtered, "W-what?"

"…For a boy you are built almost like a girl. I can make you something." Tilting her head up at Hanzo she nodded. Yes. She could.

"Er…Yuya?" Bolin said her name awkwardly as he turned a bit red making eye contact.
"Yes, Bolin?"

Bolin was ecstatic that she finally remembered his name, "Will you come hang around sometime again! Oh I'll give you tickets to the next—yeouch! Mako that hurt!"

"Let it go, Bolin." With a nod, and dismissive wave he started towards their living area, "I'm going to bed."

"…Hmpf the truce is over next time, Sparks."

"You can bet on that."

Hanzo glanced at Bolin puzzled, "What…?"

"Dude…just don't ask…"

During that same time, Tenzin was on a boat heading back to Air Temple Island, gazing at his father's statue his expression softened, turning away he saw Naga asleep and Korra gazing out at the city. The boat then arrived at the dock where a giant ship with the White Lotus members awaited.

Korra felt her heart drop as she gazed at the members, her eyes sad. Would she never be allowed back? This was killing her…locked up again, not learning Air Bending but worse…Yuya wasn't with her. As she started to walk Tenzin's children landed off their gliders and hugged her with a cry of her name. In return she held them back.

"Are you coming to live with us on the island?" Ikki asked with a bright smile staring up at the elder girl.

Korra bent down to their level, her hands on Jinora and Ikki's shoulders, "No. I'm sorry, Ikki. I have to go home now."

Ikki's head dropped, "Aw…" it then snapped up, "B-But Yuya! Yuya was crying! She misses you, Korra!"

Korra's walk faltered a bit as she led Naga to the White Lotus members. Yuya…cried? Lonely? It was then Tenzin spoke, causing her to glance back.

"Wait." With that he walked towards Korra, "I have done my best to walk Republic City towards the dream my father had for it." Stopping in front of her and motioning with his right hand, his gaze was sad and understanding, "But you are right it has fallen out of balance since he passed. I thought I should put off your training to uphold my father's legacy, but you…" he placed his left hand on Korra's shoulder watching her expression, "Are my father's legacy." Letting her go, he let his body tilt a bit to the right, bringing his hand up, "You may stay and train in Air Bending here with me."

Korra took in a breath a giant smile coming onto her face.

"Republic City needs its Avatar once again."

"Yes! Thank you!" she cheered arms up, "You're the best!" with that and the children cheering Korra scooped all three into a hug, not noticing Tenzin's amazed expression before she also picked up Tenzin who looked up to the sky with Naga joining in on the cuddling.

Tenzin then gave a sigh. Oh boy.

Later that night Korra was looking around only to hear the sound of water and see a familiar glow. Eyes widening a bit she took off towards a small area with what looked like a small nice sized house with two rooms, and a pond. There she saw her friend, "…Yuya…" her footsteps slowly faded.

"…" turning a bit, Yuya made eye contact with Korra. She could practically see and feel her friend's aura. She was upset, angry, confused at her own choice of not telling her and just leaving. Placing her left hand on her right forearm, she let her gaze drop to the water she was standing in, "…Hello Korra…" a shocked gasp left her as Korra began to pat her down, "W-what…?"

"You fell from that height! Are you alright—I was so…so…I was…." Korra shook her head, her grip on Yuya's arms tight. She was scared damn it! She was scared Yuya would have been killed from that height or hurt!

Yuya gazed at her friend. Korra hated to admit she would be scared of anything or anyone. Even if the grip of her friend hurt and she saw the tears staying in her friends eyes she lent up and licked them away, "…"

Gasping in shock, letting go and falling onto her ass in the water, Korra stared at Yuya stunned, "W-what…?"

"…" plopping down in the water too, Yuya gave a tired smile. Really they both were totally useless without each other. "…You would of tried to stop me…" she held a hand up as Korra went to interrupt, "What I did…it was…hard and cruel of me I know." Reaching out she brushed her friend's wet bangs from her face and gave a smile, "But I knew you would come to learn Air Bending and to find out why I left." She then patted her chest, "Also I'm stronger than I look!"

Korra felt her shoulders drop in defeat. Yuya seemed to know her best, poking her friend in the cheek with a small smirk she started, "Stronger? I picked up, Meelo, Ikki, Jinora, and Tenzin at the same time."

"…Well you are just a freak then."

"W-what? I am not! The Avatar should be strong!"

"…Uh-huh…"

"Darn it, Yuya!"
