I do not own the Legend of Korra.

Her muscles ached as she threw another gust of air. Sweat formed her hair line and made its way down her hot face. She never thought that training would be this hard. She knew she wasn't practicing much, but she did have a family to take care of.

She sighed and made a 'T' with her hands. "Time out," she called, sitting down on the floor. She sighed heavily and pushed her wet bangs from her eyes. It was a hot spring day. It was unbearable. Summer was coming, she knew.

She sighed as she lowered herself down onto the cooler ground. She smiled as the cool stones cooled her down slightly. She closed her tired eyes and drifted off to sleep. She didn't sleep for long until she felt someone shaking her, calling out her name.

"Mama, wake up!" She heard her oldest daughter whine. Korra opened one of her blue eyes to see the expectant face of her daughter.

"Hey, what brings you guys here?" She asked, hoisting herself back into a sitting position. Ardea giggled slightly and pointed to the little picnic basket that her father was carrying.

"We wanted to have a picnic with you." Mako answered, kissing her on the lips while carrying Mizuki, who slept soundly in her father's arms.

"Sounds like fun! Korra agreed, getting up from her sitting position. She went over to Mako and kissed him.

"Korra, where are you going?" Tenzin asked behind her. Korra whirled around and saw Tenzin's purple face.

"I want to have a picnic with my family, don't worry, Tenzin, we'll be back by three!" She promised as she saw Tenzin relax.

"Alright, three o' clock, but no later," he told her. She nodded and went with Mako and her girls to the dock.

"Tenzin, you treat her like a little girl, she's a grown woman and has a family of her own." Pema said behind him. Tenzin sighed and nodded.

"I know, it's just, she's still the same seventeen year old girl in my eyes." Tenzin told her.

"I know, I still think of her like that too." Pema told him.

Korra watched as Mako and Ardea played. She sat and nursed Mizuki who was now fully awake. Occasionally, Korra would look at her youngest daughter's face and smile at her. Her daughter though, always gave her looks as if she was crazy.

Once Mizuki was done nursing, Korra burped her and then placed her down on the blanket. She covered herself up as she watched Mizuki start to roll over and trying to sit up. She giggled softly and rolled over to see her mother.

"Oh, Mizuki, come here!" Korra said, picking her up. Mizuki started to kick, wanting to be placed on the blanket again, but Korra did not obey her daughter's command.

Korra kissed Mizuki as she frowned at her mother. Korra could hear that Mako and Ardea had stopped playing. Then she felt strong hands on her.

"Hey, Korra, how is everything going on here?" Mako asked, kissing her cheek.

"Same old, same old," Korra answered as she felt Ardea trying to get Mizuki.

"Mommy, I want to hold her!" She complained. Korra laughed and gave Mizuki over to Ardea who sat down and kissed her sister. "You and Daddy can go play now, I have Mizuki!" She told them.

Korra shook her head and kissed her daughter.

"As much as we trust you, Daddy and I don't feel comfortable leaving you two unattended." Korra told her.

"Your mother is right, what if something bad happens to you? Then Mommy and I won't be there to help you." Mako told her. Ardea nodded and rocked her sister.

Korra leaned on Mako and closed her eyes. She was sleepy and wanted sleep. And then, she drifted off to sleep.

It wasn't long before she was awoken by yelling and other stuff. Korra looked around and saw Mako trying to wake her up.

"Korra, we got to go, Equalists!" Mako told her. She looked over and saw Ardea hunched over her sister protecting her.

"You will not take her!" Ardea screamed, throwing fire at them whenever she could. Korra got up quickly and bended some fire at one of the Equalists trying to get her daughters.

"Get away from them!" She shouted. Mako followed her lead and starting throwing punches at Equalists. Korra ran in-between the Equalists and her daughters and started to kick, punch, and bend. Whatever it took to protect them, she would.

"Just leave! Why do you even want to hurt others?" Korra yelled throwing some more punches. Soon, the Equalists retreated, leaving Korra and Mako tired.

Korra swallowed her fear and picked Ardea up and Mako picked up Mizuki.

"Come on, let's get back to Air Temple Island and tell Tenzin what happened." Mako told her. She nodded as she held back tears.

When they got to Air Temple Island, they were surprised to see Bolin and Asami with their kids already there.

"We were attacked." Bolin said bitterly.

"We were, too, Bo." Mako told him. Bolin and Asami made a surprised look.

"No way, that can't be!" Asami said, "oh Spirits, no!"

"What is going on?" Tenzin asked, coming up behind them. Korra put down Ardea and went up to him. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"We were attacked, Tenzin, the Equalists are really back." Korra choked. She never felt so weak before. Tenzin looked stunned before he went back to his old composure.

"Then, we all know what this means." Tenzin said, stroking his beard.

"Actually, we don't, could you please fill us in?" Bolin asked, raising his hand.

"Since this is now in the deep end, and since now that we know that the Equalists want to attack in every way possible, you and the rest of you go to the South Pole, there you will be safe, and Korra, will stay here with me to stop this." Tenzin explained. "And you all leaving tonight, so be packed and ready." He finished.

"Does that mean Mommy is staying when we leave to the South Pole?" Ardea asked. Tenzin nodded and Ardea started to cry. "No, Mommy has to come with us! She needs to!"

"Ardea, its Mommy's duty," Mako told her. She frowned and went to her mother and held onto her leg.

"Please don't stay here, Mommy, come with us to the South Pole!" Ardea begged. Korra patted her head and looked at her with sorrowful eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ardea, I have to stay, it is my duty to stay and bring balance to Republic City again." She told her. Ardea sobbed and held onto her leg even tighter.

~~~~Time Skip Whooo~~~~

Korra hoisted Ardea up onto Oogi. Everyone was on the Bison, except for Jinora, who was helping and Ikki who was also helping.

"Why do they get to stay?" Meelo asked.

"Because, your sisters are older and have more experience!" Tenzin told him.

"But you need a fartbender like me!" Meelo complained.

"Meelo, you are too young and that is final!" Tenzin told him. Meelo frowned and crossed his arms.

"Bye, Korra, I love you!" Mako told her.

"I love you, too." Korra told him back. Mako then leaned in to kiss her, which Korra happily agreed to. "Here, take this before it gets ruined in the war." Korra said, handing him a picture of their family.

"Hold onto it, don't let it get ruined." Korra told him, kissing his cheek.

"I promise it won't, and I love you."

"I love you, too, Mako, now goodbye!" She whispered.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Hat Trick, till we meet again."
