Roze's Corner: Yay! Okay, so I am going to try and write my first Legend of Korra fic! As always, recommendations and advice are always welcome ^_^ And just to note that yes I am a hugeeee Borra shipper so if I bash Mako I am sorry and I will try to not do so.

Overview: It only took one argument for Korra to see how much had went wrong with her relationship with Mako over the two years that she was with him. All the lies and hurt amounted too much and it just took one true look at everything for Korra to leave him. Bolin hasn't seen his brother nor Korra much in those two years but when she suddenly appears on his door step in distress he doesn't hesitate to take her in. Will old feelings return and new ones develop or will the unseen forces of the unknown interfere?

Chapter 2: Something that brothers can never heal

A week and a half later...

(Korra's P.o.V)

"You okay?"

"Yea I'm fine!" Since the incident, Bolin has been kind enough to let me stay in home. We haven't really brought it up and I think it's for the best. The attack did a number on me and I would prefer not to remember it.

"You sure?"

Turning around, I saw him walking in the kitchen with bags from grocery shopping. Just that image alone conjured up images of a life that I wanted but at the same time I already had and it made me feel guilty.

"You okay Korra?"

"Y-yea I am fine." I turned away so he wouldn't see the blush on my cheeks. "I just want to get this stuff done and finished." Which wasn't far from the truth.

"Ah, okay. Well tonight I was thinking of some steaks with noodles and to top it off we have something special for dessert."

"Bolin! Stop spoiling me!" Finishing the last dish, I placed in the rack to dry off and turned off the water. Turning to him, I was really flattered and impressed that he came home from a long day of work every day and cooked even when I offered to. 'Well I can tell who got the cooking skills.' No offense to Mako, he was a really good cook but tend to make a lot of spicy dishes compared to Bolin who proved that his taste ranged from mild to exotic.

"It's not spoiling, I just want to make sure you enjoy your stay."

"Make me enjoy it too much and I may not want to leave." I teased.

"You know… There is a spare room."

"Bolin!" Bending some water out the sink, I splashed him playfully. This past week and a half I really got to know Bolin a lot better, funny since it's been two plus years since I've known him. But I guess the stuff going on with the city, my duties as the avatar and running around hasn't given us any personal time.

"Hey! I'm going to get you!"

Laughing, I ran away from him and we began weaving in and out the furniture of the house, me to avoid getting caught an him trying to catch me. The sudden ring of the door bell interrupted our little play fight.

"I got it, you continue putting the food away." Drying my hands off on my set of pants that Bolin got me, I dodged made my way to the door. "Hello?"

"Korra! Open up!"

I know that voice! It's... "Chief Beifong!" Opening the door as fast I could, before I could even get a hello out I was blindsided by a blur of blue. "Woah!"

"My baby girl!"

"Mom relax, I'm okay." Hugging her, I felt an affectionate pat on my head and looked up to see my dad.

"Whose there Korra?"

'Oh crap.' Turning around, I saw Bolin come out the kitchen with a spice in one hand and a spoon in the other. Turning back to my parents, the look on their faces was one part confusion and then when they turned to me one part questioning. "I can explain this!"

"Korra!"

Looking over my parents and Lin, I saw Tenzin running up to the door with three out of his four kids. "Guys, before we crowd up the hallway I think everyone should come in. That's if Bolin doesn't mind of course!" I didn't want to crowd up his house.

"Not at all! Let me get the tea ready."

Smiling at him, I thanked the higher powers that this may go smoothly...

Or maybe I spoke too soon...

"Korra! Why didn't you contact me sooner?! We were so worried about you!"

Sitting across from a fuming Tenzin and Lin, I took the tray from Bolin when he brought it into the living room and placed it down on the coffee table. Pouring tea for everyone, I took a cup for myself and sat back down near my parents. "I know but I was recovering Tenzin."

"For eleven days!?"

Taking a sip of my tea, I gave a small compliment of praise in the back of my mind before regarding my dad.

"Dad, at the time I was worried about just getting better." I left out the fact I freaked out over my dream, it would do no good for them to know that or for Bolin to know I had more.

"But Korra you could have called us, your father and I were so worried about you."

Before I could get a word out, Bolin came back into the room and sat next to me.

"I am to blame for that. Korra seemed stressed out and I felt it prevalent to prevent more stress from coming on top of her. I know what it's like to constantly be under that pressure. Korra would've crashed if I just let her go so I had her stay here. Plus, when she was at my door step, she was covered in cuts and bruises, I didn't want her to get caught out there again and possibly wind up worse than what she had."

Giving a grateful smile to him, I saw from the corner of my eye the faces of the other four occupants in the room. They were not happy, especially Tenzin, Lin, and my father.

"Bolin, you came to work every day straight on time. Why didn't you say anything? You had everyone freaking out thinking that she was abducted."

"If I may ask a question in retaliation Lin, would you rather had a Korra who was going to be non responsive to questions or the one sitting here in front of you now?"

No one had answered him, and I was glad. They forget that despite the fact that I am the avatar I am also still a young woman. Taking another sip of my cooled tea, it just occurred to me that a face was missing among them. "How is Mako doing?" I saw Bolin flinch a bit but it was not seen by anyone else.

"Just fine, actually it was because of him that we found out that you didn't make it home."

'So he actually does care.' The thought warmed my heart a lot. Heating up the tea a bit, I shot out a flame at the center of the coffee pot to warm the tea up in there a bit as well.

"So why isn't he here with you guys?"

The dead pan tone in Bolin's voice stunned everyone in the room, including me.

"You'd think that he'd be a bit more concerned about Korra."

A look passed across Tenzin and Lin's face, and it was one that I didn't like. Getting up, I placed my tea down on the table and sat next to Bolin again, resting a hand on his forearm.

"Mako is worried Bolin, but he can't just up and leave work like that."

"He works in the city Tenzin. I bumped into him on occasions before hand, and he's a coach to the bender teams here."

Frowning, I never heard Bolin take a tone like that when he talked about Mako.

"Ah, true... But still..."

"I'd rather not go into detail or talk about it anymore."

By now everyone had a cup in their hands, I got up to refill them since it seemed that was the only thing that distracted people from this awkward conversation. Taking my own cup, I didn't realize that Bolin forgotten to take a cup and poured him one. Bringing it back to him, I was glad to see him smiling again.

"Korra, I wanted to ask you... Do you remember anything about your attackers?"

Turning to Tenzin, I was hoping that he didn't bring them up. I wanted to forget what happened that night, I got away and that should matter more but then again I knew why they wanted to know. "I do..." Feeling a strong hand on my arm, I turned to see Bolin trying to get me to sit down. Nodding, I took my seat again albeit closer to him. My parents whispered between themselves, probably about my action but I could care less. These past few days gave me a chance to get to know him better and truthfully I felt more comfortable next to him then I did next to my parents. "First thing is that they wielded the same machinery that the chi blockers did." That got a reaction out of everyone.

"Did Sato get out?"

"No Bolin, I checked on him a few days ago before all this happened. He's still under high prison security. And that is what is bothering me, Asami shut down all the equalist factories and took all the machinery and stored it in a place no one knows about except her."

"So how is it possible that they have the technology?"

Turning to Lin, I gave a small shrug since I myself did not know how anyone was able to acquire it. The new law passed stated that anyone who had such items were to either immediately turn it in or dismantle it permanently."

"This truly does bother me Korra, they could have killed you."

"I know Tenzin, but thank god Bolin found me."

"Oh, it was nothing."

Giggling at his sheepish expression, I heard a disapproving sound come from my mother.

"In any case, we are glad that you are okay but I think it would be in your best interest to at least come home with us. If not, go back to your place with Mako since it is located away from the city."

"Mom, we don't know though if they know where we live at. Why would I lead them back there?"

"But you have a better chance than hiding out in the city. They would easily find you and Bolin here."

"You're making it sound like we can't take care of ourselves."

"Korra, I know that you two can but if they have chi blockers who's to say what they would do to you? At least out in the country if the situation turns for the worst you can at least take cover in the dense forest. In the city its more compact here and less room to move around. Plus they nearly killed you and next time if they get you..."

She stopped and I understand where she was coming from, but I'm not some small child who needs constant coddling. The door bell rang again and that seemed to shock everyone out of their quiet thoughts.

"I got it."

Watching Bolin leave, a small tap on my shoulder made me turn back to my dad who was now kneeling next to me.

"Korra I don't like how you two are staring at each other."

"Dad..." I hissed.

"You are with Mako, why are you making eyes at him."

Sighing out loud, I sent my dad a glare. "No one is making eyes at anyone, he is just a friend. No more, no less."

"She is fine Mako! Calm down!"

"Don't tell me to calm down! She was here the whole time and you did not once call to tell me!?"

"She didn't need the stress added on by you asking her and begging her to come home!"

"Yeah so you "thought" it be best not to tell anyone where she was? Smart thinking "baby" brother!"

Hearing the argument, I put the cups down quickly and made my way to the door where I saw Mako and Bolin in a heated argument. Stepping between them I saw both of them with a look that stemmed into more than just hatred. 'What is going on?'

A/N: Edited and done! :)
