Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter because soon after things are going to get crazy so once again prepare yourselves.

A loud banging at the door woke Korra from her sleep. The way her head was throbbing she could have sworn someone knocked her out with a baseball bat. It was all the drinks she consumed last night to drown out the pain. What seemed like a good idea at the time was now an instant regret the way she lifted up her head. Groaning, she rubbed the side of her temple as she picked herself up off the floor. "Hold on..." she whispered.

Finally gaining her footing with the help of the couch arm rest, Korra walked over to the front door opening it up seeing Mako. "Hey," he greeted closing the door behind him. "So I told the Captain what happened with Saikhan yesterday and Unalaq's involvement," he said as Korra walked off toward the couch. "She was pretty pissed at first and said since Kuvira was withholding information so could we."

Plopping down on to the couch, Korra buried her head into the throw pillow.

"How did things go with you and Asami last night?" Mako asked taking a seat near by. He could smell the alcohol reeking off of her.

Not answering right away, Korra sighed still frustrated shifting her head to face Mako. "As usual I fucked up.." she said pushing her hands into the cushion putting herself in a now seated position. Rubbing her eyes, she took a deep breath before continuing. "I blurted out that Zaheer caused her parents accident and now she hates me even more," she said folding her arms.

He could tell by her actions that she was being pretty hard on herself. "You did the right thing Korra. Just not in the most efficient way," Mako said with a light chuckle at the end only to catch a death glare from his partner.

"There is no way to salvage this case now," Korra said to herself.

Mako knew she meant her relationship with Asami but didn't want to point it out. "There might be," he said standing up. Placing his hand on her shoulder, Mako smiled, "I got your six remember?" he said removing his hand off of her. "Get cleaned up partner. We got shit to do. If we want to catch the Red Lotus we're gonna need all the help we can get," he said walking to the door.

Korra looked his way confused. "Where are you going?"

"To the station. Need to pick up a few things. I'll be back in an hour" he said before heading out of the door. He could hear Korra groaning as he closed the door shut.

Waking up on the couch, Asami sat up and stretched cracking a few bones here and there. After what happened last night she could barely sleep as it is. Her mind was stuck on what Korra said about Zaheer. It was an outrageous statement. Asami assumed it all in the heat of the moment to prove her point about how dangerous the Red Lotus was. Doesn't mean it was true. It couldn't be. Those thoughts flooded her mind all night making it unbearable to sleep.

She constantly checked on Kai through out the night only to snag something out of her room that could put her mind at ease. Despite the current state of their relationship, Asami felt safe with the plush polar bear dog close to her heart. It filled her with memories of a better time. Holding it in her hands now, she traced her fingers along the tag that read Korra Jr.

The only reason why she slept downstairs was to not trigger any memories yet she was still holding on. She did feel some relief to finally tell Korra how she truly felt but now she wasn't so sure where to go from here.

Getting up, Asami walked into the kitchen to make breakfast. It was still fairly early in the morning. She knew Kai was still pretty out of it after all that has happened. Once she finished, she made him a plate and brought it upstairs to his room.

Knocking on his door lightly, Asami opened it up before peaking her head in. "Hey Dare Devil," she joked as she pushed her way through the door.

"Hey," Kai said with a yawn attached to it at the end. He saw his sister coming up to the side of his bed with a plate of food. "Whats that?" he asked pointing to the two small blue pills in her hand.

"For pain," she replied placing them beside his cup of juice on his side dresser. Handing him his plate of pancakes, Asami took a seat beside him. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she placed the palm of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

Kai rolled his eyes slightly and removed her hand off of his forehead. "Fine," he picking up a fork to begin to eat.

Smiling softly, Asami nodded. "Alright I won't pry," she said standing up. Walking toward the door, Asami looked over her shoulder and said, "call me if you need anything," before slipping out of the room.

Asami when into her room and straight into her closet. Opening it up, she reached on to the top shelf and took down an old box. She walked over to her bed and took off the lid. Looking through some old pictures, Asami found a folder. She took it out and opened it up finding old news paper clippings on her parents accident.

Reading it thoroughly, she saw nothing out of place. Seeing the arresting officer named and her father in cuffs. Wasn't anything new to her. She sat back up against her bed post and took her laptop out of her book bag.

Looking up further details on the accident, it showed her fathers blood alcohol level that night. It was weird for him to be driving drunk with her mother right beside him. She never knew her father to be so irresponsible. Her anger toward him never made her question whether it was true or not.

She was trying to find clear images of the accident itself but couldn't at this point. Just small articles and photos of her father and his ruined reputation. Wanting to see some reason for Korra's accusation but didn't find any.

"Asami!" Kai shouted out.

Closing her laptop, Asami put it aside and got up from her bed. She walked out of her room and into his. Soon as she opened the door, she spotted, Kai putting on a fresh clean shirt. "What are you doing?" she asked with him turning to face her.

"Can I go over to Skoochy house?" He asked while getting ready at the same time.

Looking at her brother in disbelief, Asami walked up to him taking his bag out of his hand. "I don't think that such a good idea after what happened," she said placing it on the floor.

Genuinely confused, Kai began to protest in his own defense. "I promise I won't get into any trouble. We're just going to stay inside and play video games."

"No," Asami said raising her tone a bit. She had to put her foot down on this. She wasn't going to let history repeat itself.

Kai frowned up at her reaction not expecting to be shot down so fast. "Just because you're mad at Korra doesn't mean you have to take it out on me," he snapped back.

Asami frowned up herself and said, "this has nothing to do with her."

"Yes it does!" he argued taking a seat on his bed. Kai was trying to bottle in his emotion same as she had done plenty of times but was failing miserably. "What's your problem? Korra saved my life and you're pushing her away like its nothing." He looked away from her with a heavy sigh. "Makes no sense..."

Bending down to his level, Asami caught his eye and placed her hand on his. "Its nothing you need to concern yourself with okay," she assured. "Just focus on getting better."

Kai remained silent not wanting to look at her any further. He moved back on to his bed pushing off his sneakers before laying back. "Please leave..." he asked looking at the side of his wall.

Nodding slowly at his request, Asami stood up and walked toward his door. She stopped near the door way and looked back at him. "I'm sorry I upset you. Opal is coming over soon to keep you company since I have to go to work. Call me if you need anything," she said before closing the door behind her. It stung a bit but she knew he would get over it eventually.

Walking back into her room, Asami placed the papers back into the box. She put her laptop back into her book bag and the box back into the closet on the shelf.

She went downstairs once she was done. Waiting for Opal for about ten minutes until the young girl knocked on her door. Opening it up, she let her friend in greeted by a side hug. "Thanks for this," Asami said grabbing her jacket.

"Are you sure about this?" Opal asked.

Asami nodded as she pulled her hair out from her jacket letting it flow on to her shoulders. "Yeah I'm sure," she said opening up the door and walking out. She got into her car and drove to the police station.

Mako was at the police station straighten up a few things before heading back to Korra's apartment. He was still on the Red Lotus case with Korra despite Beifong's knowledge or approval. He had found out the owner of that warehouse was own by a company that made military weapons that Sato had made over the years. It was a great cover up since it wasn't on the books. He knew he would have to send that file back to his cousin Chow before he got in trouble.

Finishing up, Mako was ready to head out until he saw Asami walking up to one of the officers. He walked up quickly interrupting their conversation. "I got it from here," he said placing his hand on the guy's shoulder nearly shooing him away. "Can I help you?" he asked her in a calm tone of voice.

Asami gave Mako a look only to clear it up along with her throat. "Yes I would like to file a restraining order, " she said folding her arms across her chest.

"Really? Against who?" he questioned as if he didn't know.

Rolling her eyes, Asami sighed and looked him dead in his eyes. "Against one of your officers."

Nodding, Mako began to get out the paper work ready only to stop as he was ready to hand it to her. "Can I show you something first?" he asked as he held the papers out of her reach.

"No," Asami declined holding her hand out still.

He chuckled only to take a step back. "You are unbelievable," he commented.

Asami knew he was holding her up and folded her arms yet again trying to calm herself down. "Look I appreciate you dropping the assault charges and everything but I don't have anything else to say to you so can we move this along?" she said in the nicest way possible.

"I didn't do it for you. I did it for Korra. But since you consider it a favor... do me one and follow me," he said walking from behind the desk and into the interrogation room. He stopped when he saw she wasn't following him. "It's important," he said grabbing his bag from his desk and into the room.

Asami followed with an agitated sigh. She walked through the door seeing him close it behind her.

"You need to see this," Mako said gesturing for her to have a seat. She took one across from the table and leaned back against the steel chair.

Mako placed his bag on to the table and began to take out some files. He placed it out in front of her opening it up. He scattered the images across the table with some documents. It was a report on her parents accident in detail. "I know you are aware of what this is but not the entire story. See the arresting officer at the time was a man named Unalaq who is running for Mayor now," he stated simple before dropping a similar bomb Korra did. "He was covering for the Red Lotus that night."

Taking out a thicker file then the one he had previous, he set it on top and opening it up scattering more images out. "Red Lotus." He said pointing each picture. "Red Lotus." Another picture. "Red Lotus." Another picture. "Red Lotus." He said pointing to the last. "This is their MO. Stealing inventory from trucks and profiting off of them and killing the truckers so their would be no witness," he said pointing at one trucker who neck was circled of a small hole were he was injected.

"Here is the truck schedule from that night. See the company," he said walking around the table standing behind her. "Right there," he said pointing at the time. "They were suppose to deliver their shipment that night but the trucker collided with your parents car empty. Empty," he repeated to get it clear in her mind.

Asami looked at everything he pointed at but shook her head still not believing it. "This is all bullshit and circumstantial," she said looking at him with a scowl.

Mako took a breath before continuing. "I thought you might say that," he said taking out his phone. He searched through it before pulling up a video. "Here. Press play," he said handing it over to her.

Taking it in her hand, Asami pressed play seeing the two people in the video. It was Korra with her Father.

Mako sat across from her as she watched the whole video play out. It was Hiroshi's confession on everything that happened.

All the blanks being filled for him and now for his daughter who was witnessing it. She covered her mouth due to shock. She wanted so badly for it not to be true but it was. Her heart was breaking all over again. It was beating so quickly in her chest she wasn't sure it if would burst out or not. Korra didn't lie. She was telling the truth.

Mako took the phone back once the video stopped playing.

Asami sat there with her gaze still upon the table trying to get a hold of her emotions.

Gathering up the papers, Mako stood up and placed them back into the right files. "Do you still want to file that restraining order?" he questioned looking over at Asami as he put the files back into his bag.

Asami raised her head up meeting Mako's gaze shaking her head. "No. I want to get those bastards," she said standing up herself with a determined look across her face. "And my girl back," she said walking past him and out of the door.

Mako smirked leaving the restraining order papers on the table following Asami out the door.

Korra got ready since it was taking Mako a little bit more than an hour to come back. She figured that Beifong found some more work for him to do before he left. She had made her one of her famous hang over remedies but the sounds of the blender was making her headache worst.

It didn't take that long for it to finish. She took a cup out of the cubby and poured the contents into it. Taking a sip, she nearly threw up. "Just chug it. Fuck chug it chug it," she said taking another sip. "Oh man. I want to chuck it instead of chug it," she said clearing her throat and patting her chest.

Before she could finish her drink down, she heard a banging at her door. Naga barked from the bed room. "It's alright girl!" Korra shouted toward the room as she walked up to the door. Taking a quick look through the peep hole, Korra saw it was Mako only to unlock the door. "Its open," she said walking back to the kitchen to finish off her disgusting drink.

"You are gonna love me til the end of time," Mako said as he stood in the door.

Korra turned around and raised her brow curious. "What are you talking about?"

Mako couldn't contain his foreign smirk. "Not only do I have a way to stop the Red Lotus in their tracks..." he said coming up to her placing his hand on her shoulders. "But I found the perfect person to have your six while I run interference with Kuvira," he said with a real smile appearing on his face.

"Who?" Korra question with a hint of concern.

Mako moved out of Korra's view as Asami said, "me." She walked up to Korra with sorrowful look in her eyes.

Korra looked at Asami as if she wasn't real. Her eyes shifted over to the side at Mako. "Who's your best friend?" He said with a huge grin. She now knew how he was related to Bolin.

At a loss for words, Korra pointed over at Asami without looking at her. "She hates me. How did you get her to come here?" Korra asked hoping that this was real.

He was about to answer only for Asami to raise her hand up cutting him off. "Can we have a moment... alone?" she asked taking another step toward Korra facing Mako.

"Yeah, I'll be downstairs," he said pointing back at the door before turning around and walking out of it closing it behind him.

Asami watched him hearing the door shut closed. She looked at the floor for a moment not sure where to begin. Her whole world was just flipped upside down but had some kind of clarity out of it.

Korra wasn't sure what to expect from this but was mentally preparing herself for anything. "A... sami?" she said waiting to meet her gaze. "Ar-" Korra was cut off by those soft thin lips against hers. She felt a bit lighter because of it as if she was going to float away.

Asami placed her hands on Korra's cheeks cupping them before her arms slid around her shoulders holding her for dear life.

Placing her hands at Asami's hips, Korra melted into the kiss with her eyes shutting instantly.

Tears began to flow down staining Asami's cheeks once again. As passionate as their kiss was, she pulled back with a sigh. "You were right about everything..." she with their foreheads pressed together. "I am so sorry for not believing you. Spirits..." she said pulling back a bit unable to breath. She began to hyperventilate remembering all the shit she had done out of anger. "Fuck.." she mumbled raising her hand to Korra's temple. "I almost.. I-"

"Don't," Korra warned knowing what it would do to her if she said it out loud. "I told you before you're nothing like them," she said placing her own hand to Asami's cheek. Wiping her tears away, Korra smiled softly, "you had a million reasons not to trust me when you did," she started to say placing her arms around Asami pulling her into a hug. "And the only reason that happened is because you have a good heart," she said squeezing a bit hearing Asami sniffling. Korra leaned close to her ear whispering slightly, "I meant what I said before. I'm glad I got that chance to be with you. No matter the outcome." With that she pulled back a bit to get a good look at her face. "I wouldn't trade you for the world."

Asami began to even more holding on to Korra even tighter. Her face buried into the side of Korra's neck mumbling as she cried.

"What?" Korra said not understanding.

Raising her head up, Asami was trying to catch her breath as she spoke. "I said I love you so much," with her voice cracking. "I don't deserve you..."

"You deserved the truth. I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you," Korra said flipping it in a way. She took a moment before continuing, "that night we shared together. I thought the same thing. I didn't deserve you but I wanted.." she said taking a deep breath. Looking into Asami's eyes, Korra felt that warmth she had been missing since that night, "I wanted to take your pain away. I wanted you to feel what I felt for you was real," she said brushing a strain of Asami's hair behind her ear. "It was... still is," she confessed.

Korra took Asami's hand into her own and held them tightly feeling Asami's squeeze for assurance. "When all of this is over. I'd like to try this again. You know the whole being with you kind of thing," she said with a chuckle which made Asami giggle. "Holding you..." she said pulling Asami's hands back up and on to her shoulders as her own arms snaked around her waist. "Kissing you.." she said pecking softly at her lips a few times. "F... forgiving all the bad stuff in between," she said hoping they could move past this.

A small curve moved at the edge of Asami's lips agreeing with what Korra was saying. "We can do that.. I'd love that," she said brightly.

"And I love you," she said smiling showing off her pearly whites.

Asami smiled back pressing her lips to Korra's. "I love you too." Her tongue licked the edge of Korra's bottom lip begging for access.

Korra could feel it opening her mouth up a little more with Asami's tongue sliding inside.

Her eyes opened up quickly and pulled back. "Is that sea weed?" Asami asked feeling it on her tongue.

"Oh yeah. I made this remedy shake earlier. I couldn't find any greens so I thought I'd substitute it with some old fashion sea weed noodles," Korra explained only to realize Asami got a taste of it. "My bad."

Coughing a bit, Asami waved it off. "Its fine," she said with a nod trying to hold back her laughter. Only Korra. "We should get going. Mako is waiting down stairs for us. If we're going to get these motherfuckers... we better do it now," she said referring to the Red Lotus. "You ready to ride?" Asami said with a deep smirk forming on her lips.

Korra chuckled with a smug look in her eyes. "I'm always ready to ride babe," she mimicked with a signature wink similar to Asami's. "Let's do this."
