Chapter 3:
Dumb doesn't run in the family
The night went as expected, boring. I introduced myself to Republic City AGAIN. You'd expect there to be a lot of crime in this big city, but NO, people get scared when they hear the Avatar is here.. sometimes I wonder if an Avatar is even needed, but I've said that to Tenzin before and he suggested I travel the world. No. I've been away for 11 years. NO, I'm going home.
It had been 5 days. 5 days that felt like 5 years. I needed something to do!
We were all sitting under the tree by our spot.
"I would kill myself, JUST to get something to do."
They looked at me wide eyed and shocked but I only shrugged.
"Maybe that wouldn't be so bad." Mako said with a smirk
"Bite me."
It hadn't dawned on me that he might actually take it seriously but I knew when he leaned over and bit my earlobe. It took me a minute to recover from the shock of his warm breath tickling my neck. Wow, momentary lapse.
"Anyways, your lives would be boring without me." And I stuck out my tongue
"No, we were just fine without you!" Mako retorted
"Really? Name one day you didn't wish I was there."
"Well we're gonna be here a while, cause there's a lot!"
Mako's POV
The truth was, that not a day went by without me hoping for my best friend to come home. I can remember one day in particular. It was Bolin's 16th birthday . . .
Bolin sat at the table eating his birthday noodles.
"Sorry if it's not much bro. . . "
He sighed.
"I bet if Korra was here she'd find some way to-"
There he went again with 'I bet if Korra...'
"Seriously Bolin! You need to forget about Korra! The truth is, she might never be coming back! As if she'd have a reason to come back . . ."
There I went again, exploding on him this time, it was his birthday, and it hurt.
"Bolin, I'm sorr-"
"Save it, you're probably right. Why would she come back?"
"Waiting . . ." Korra demanded
"Ugh, sometimes I think you Bolin, are the smarter one here." And she plopped into his lap sideways
Korra's POV
I saw something slowly floating down in the air. It looked like a flyer. Mako had obviously seen my eyes follow it and he got up to go get it. Then again, when was he NOT watching me. He reached up and snatched it out of the air.
"Good news, something to do." He handed it to me
"Bad news, sounds like trouble." He finished
It WAS a flyer. For a rally. An equalist rally. Tenzin had told me about them, but at the time, I didn't think anything of it.
"Equalists."
"Who?" they both asked
"They're an elite group of non-benders who are totally against the bending regime. They believe that benders oppress the non-benders, and we're truly evil."
Bolin looked shocked but Mako just looked full of . . . angst. Mako . . . this is a crisis so stop making your face look so damn sexy!
"The triads . . . . ." Mako said under his breath
"Ugh! All it takes is a few gangs and now we're all evil!" Mako grunted
"I'm showing this to Beifong, come on."
I dragged them down to the Police Station, (Yes, I knew where that was.)
"Beifong." And I slapped the flyer onto the desk
"That's CHIEF Beifong to you, little girl." And the mature, gray haired woman turned around
"Just because you're the Avatar, don't think you can get out of respecting me."
"I'll start when you start."
They both had a 'You've met?' expression.
"We've met." We said in unison
"So what did you want?"
"This. Have you seen it?"
"Pssh, I'd expect that the AVATAR would be a little less slow, we're taking care of it. We're already sending in some undercover cops to infiltrate it."
"I'm coming too."
"No you won't."
"I don't think I was asking a question."
"Neither was I." she snapped
Mako's POV
She was fuming. As in seriously. Her entire body was HOT as if she just stepped out of a volcano.
"I'm GOING to that rally and I don't care what Beifong or anyone else has to say about it."
"I'm coming with you." I blurted
"No you're not."
"Yes I am."
She shook her head.
"Fine, if you can find out where this rally is, then you can come." And she walked off
"I don't think she should go." Bolin said once she was out of ear shot
"I know, I'll try to talk her out of it."
I think she beat us to it when she was on the other side of the park, basically ATTACKING a protestor. She had just used her heel to break the table he was standing on and she threw him to the ground.
We ran over to her and she picked up the same flyer we saw earlier.
"He said it was on here . . . the location . . ." Korra breathed
She searched the front of the flyer, but to no avail. Something caught my eye on the back and I turned it around.
Bolin elbowed me in the ribs.
"Ow, sorry . . . ." I whispered
"Korra, I really don't think you should go to this rally."
"Ugh, and she pushed past me, you too?"
"Seriously, it doesn't seem very safe." Bolin interjected
"I have to prove to Republic City that I'm not just an Avatar for show, but one that actually does something."
She started to storm off angrily but she turned around when I said something.
"You may be the Avatar, but you're still a girl Korra."
"And what does me being a girl have to do with anything?"
"Because, I said moving closer to her, girls have hormones."
She had a confused look on her face down to the moment when I grabbed her butt and kissed her. Oh, how I was asking for a death wish.
Korra's POV
Oh how cute. He thought my hormones controlled my mood. Funny. I made sure he got the message when I heated my palms and touched where his hands were residing. When he jumped back, I lifted my foot and airbent him into a tree. Bolin stood nearby with his mouth agape having witnessed the spectacle. I bound over to him.
"Does your brother ever think before he does anything?"
"Weird, he used to."
I looked over at where he was slumped against the tree.
"You really don't think I should go?"
"Honestly, not really."
I sighed.
"I just wanted to have something to show for, not just my title. You get me right?"
"Yeah I understand . . . but if you're going, you should at least go with him." And he stuck out his thumb in the direction of Mako.
I laughed.
"He really is dumb, isn't he?"
"Only when you're around."
"I better go check if he's alive . . . . ."
He nodded.
Mako's POV
Note to self: Do not kiss Korra. Right, cause I'm SURE I'll follow up on that one in the future. I felt a hand draw me up by my shirt.
"I don't know why but I thought the Fire Ferrets CAPTAIN could handle a beating."
"I can, I said removing her fist from my shirt, and that wasn't a beating, I was distracted."
"Really? I didn't know sucking my face was sodistracting." She smirked
"Fine, whatever, do whatever you want, you can go."
"Oh I'm going, but YOU'RE coming with me."
"What?"
"Don't act like you're not happy."
"Anyways, come, you're pretty banged up, let's go fix you." She added
"What?"
She shook her head.
"Wow, you really are stupid. Especially around me."
Well don't you just love Mako acting like he has this magical charm over ALL girls. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor boy :D
Anyways, I need more feedback! Tell me your exact reaction while reading it. It makes me laugh too xD.
Have a good day! Well it will be for me, if you review
