Aylin felt content yet strangely tired. After the whole situation with Asami's father, Bolin and everyone else were staying over at Air Temple Island.

Bolin had wanted her to stay with them and so did Korra but Aylin just smiled and said no. She had her own home to get to. Bolin did his best to convince her but she refused to budge even though she was very tempted to stay with Bolin.

But she knew it was for the best. She didn't want to intrude on them and besides, she promised Bolin that she would visit him. She had gone to visit him and he seemed really excited about staying at Air Temple Island. Bolin had gone to visit her more than Aylin did him but she wasn't complaining.

Aylin just enjoyed his attention and his kisses. He took her out on dates and always bought her home before the moon came up and bought her a gift the next day. She was very glad to have him with her and Bolin seemed to enjoy her company as well.

He always held her hand and gave her kisses on the cheek or mouth. The mouth kisses seemed to be lingering longer than before and she was never complaining. She just drank it in like the air. She didn't want him to stop. To ever stop and Bolin said he would never stop for as long as she wanted.

She was walking down the street, just enjoying the night sky and the cool air. Nyla was at home and she wanted to be alone for a bit. She still worried about the full moon but it didn't bother her. The full moon had been coming up but her body didn't tense anymore. Princess Yue seemed to be biding her time and Aylin wondered what she was waiting for.

She would be careful like always but she didn't mind it a bit, though. She enjoyed not worrying about the next full moon or anything.

She was walking when she felt a pair of eyes on her and before she could turn around to see her, she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

"Aylin!"

She looked up and saw Bolin and everyone else leaning on a car and she felt her heart swell at the sight of Bolin, who was eating some kind of pastry.

She smiled happily and Bolin wasted no time in rushing to her before enveloping her in a big hug that squashed her to him. She didn't mind one bit. She held him and breathed him in, his earthly scent diving deep into her soul and she rubbed her face against his chest before he pulled back.

She was about to open her mouth to ask what he was doing here but his lips fell on hers, silencing her and she forgot what she wanted to say. His arms wrapped themselves around her waist and upper back, forcing her to him as her arms wrapped themselves around his shoulder, pulling him closer to him, the heat of his lips burning through her body like wild fire.

She sighed against his mouth as he kissed her deeply and thoroughly, his lips moving overs her and parting them. They pulled away for air reluctantly as her heart raced and she tried to calm her breathing. Bolin seemed ecstatic.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, her fingers curling at the back of his neck. She didn't really care what he was doing. He was here and that was all that mattered.

"Didn't you hear? We're the new Team Avatar!" Bolin said, letting go of her body and she yearned for his touch. She shook her head, chuckling as he began to explain the events of the past day and she paid attention to every detail, drinking him up like water. She loved this man.

Knew it in the depths of her soul.

Knew it in the oceans of her heart.

He didn't need to love her. He couldn't love her. It would've been nice but she didn't care. Unrequited love was better than no love.

And she loved him. She had fallen for Bolin.

She smiled at the thought as Bolin came to an end to his story.

"Do you want to join us?" Bolin asked as they headed back to the gang. Everyone called greetings to her and she replied back.

"I don't know..." She murmured, grabbing her elbow nervously.

"We could use another waterbender in the team. Two are better than one." Korra said as she punched Aylin in her arm.

"Yeah, we could use another waterbender. Bolin says you're pretty good." Mako said as Aylin blanched. She turned to Bolin who just placed an arm around her waist, tugging her closer to his body before he whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry. They don't know."

She relaxed and smiled up at him, placing her head on his chest.

"I guess. If you guys need another waterbender."

"Yes!" Korra said. "Three girls against two!"

Mako rolled his eyes but Asami just smiled. It seemed they were getting along better now and so was Asami.

"All available units." Everyone turned to pay attention to the police scanner. Aylin felt Bolin's arm press tighter against her waist, almost protectively. "Please respond to 56th block of Dragon's Flats Burough. Equalists have taken to the streets. Considered armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution."

Everyone reacted quickly. Bolin had quickly kissed Aylin before jumping on the front seat saying, "I call front!"

"After you."

"What a gentleman. Thanks." Korra had said after Mako helped her up into the car before jumping in himself. Aylin jumped in after them, Mako in the middle. She turned to see Asami and was surprised to see the jealousy in her eyes as she watched them from the rear view mirror.

Asami drove quickly as they reached a nearly dark and powerless street.

"Why is the power out?" Korra asked as Asami parked the car. They saw trucks and police officers with a rally of people in front of them who was shouting and protesting angrily.

They walked towards the commotion, all of them confused.

"Wait a minute. These people aren't armed or dangerous." Asami pointed out. Aylin had instinctively reached for Bolin's hand who held her tightly and let his fingers slip in between hers. She immediately relaxed.

"Sure doesn't look that way." Korra had said almost angrily.

They turned when they heard the screeching of a megaphone. "All non benders! Return to your homes immediately!"

"Yeah. As soon as you turn our power back on!" One of the men yelled and everyone yelled for the same thing.

"Disperse! Or you all will be arrested!"

"You benders can't treat us this way!" A woman yelled who held a baby in her arms.

"Mommy, look! It's the Avatar!"

They had reached the people and police as the non benders rushed towards them.

"Please! Help us. You're our Avatar, too." The woman begged as she looked at Korra. Aylin watched as Korra walked up determinedly towards the people and pushed aside the metal bending officers.

"Please stay calm! I'm going to put a stop to this!" Korra said before turning back to look for the person who was in charge. They all followed Korra as she turned and headed straight for a tent which was where Tarrlock was.

"Tarrlock!" Korra yelled and Aylin let go of Bolin's hand. Something told her she would have her hands ready. "You need to turn the power back on and leave these people alone."

Aylin felt anger run through her and knew everyone else was feeling the same. It was thick in the air. This wasn't fair at all. This was being unjust to the people of Republic City. Non benders should be treated equally like benders.

"Avatar Korra, you and your playmates have no business here."

"We're not going anywhere. You don't have the right to treat these innocent people like criminals."

"This is an equalist rally. There's nothing innocent about them."

"That isn't fair and you know it. You can't possibly believe that every single person, including the children, are equalists." Aylin said, stepping closer to Tarrlock, hating the way he looked so smug and superior.

"They're not equalists. They're just normal people who want their rights back." Asami said, stepping up next to Aylin who was next to Korra.

"They are the enemy!" Tarrlock gestured almost angrily. "Round up all these equalists!"

Before they could react, the metalbending officers had closed in on the non benders and forced them in a circle, locking them in before they were hovering in the air from the ground.

They rushed to see the commotion and Korra reacted immediately. "Stop!"

Korra had earthbend the hovering rocks that held the non benders prisoners on the ground, allowing them to escape.

Aylin heard Asami grunt. She turned and was stunned to see Tarrlock holding Asami by his water on her wrist. "Hey, let me go! Uh!"

"You're under arrest!"

"What?" Aylin asked alongside Mako.

"You can't do that." Mako said as Tarrlock yanked Asami closer, letting the officers arrest her.

"Actually, I can. She's a non-bender out past curfew and her father's a known equalist conspirator." Tarrlock said smugly, causing the anger in Aylin to spark higher.

"Let her go." Mako threatened angrily.

"Arrest him and his brother." Tarrlock ordered and the officers threw out the metal to arrest Bolin and Mako.

As soon as the metal touched Bolin's body and he grunted, Aylin saw red in her vision. The red was one of rage and possessive need to protect Bolin. No one was allowed to touch Bolin. He had done nothing wrong. Nothing and Aylin didn't like this.

She hated this. Bolin did not deserve to be arrested. Especially by Tarrlock. She reacted angrily. She yanked the water out of thin air and jumped ahead of Bolin and Mako and sliced the metal clean through as it fell away from their bodies.

She was breathing hard and fast from anger and she enjoyed the look of surprise on Tarrlock's face.

"Aylin," Bolin breathed and her anger dissipated. He was safe. He was okay.

"Arrest the girl." And before she could react, the cold metal wrapped around her arms, making her immobile and causing her gasp

"Aylin! Let her go!" She heard Bolin yell angrily as she was yanked to the officers before they slapped the cuffs on her wrists, causing her to wince with the tightness and the cold.

She was turned around in time to see Bolin and Mako get arrested, again. The anger thrummed in her body as she saw Bolin struggle against the metal. She was struggling, yelling at Tarrlock to let Bolin go but he ignored her. She was pushed roughly inside a truck and was sat forcefully down next to Asami.

"Tarrlock!" Korra yelled and Aylin saw her manipulating big chunks of earth menacingly towards Tarrlock.

"Unless you want to join your friends in prison, I suggest you put those down and go back to the Air Temple."

"Korra, listen to him. It's not worth it." Mako yelled to her. Aylin saw the indecision in her eyes before she reluctantly allowed the rocks to fall back to the ground.

"We'll be alright." Bolin had yelled back as he too was forced in.

"Don't worry, I'll call Tenzin, he can get you out!"

Bolin found Aylin's gaze and he visibly relaxed. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine. Are you okay?" She asked worriedly, her heart pounding with worry.

"I'm okay." He said and he smiled, instantly calming her. "Sorry I got you arrested."

She shook her head, wanting to hold him. "It's okay. We can count it as a date."

"Get the girl out and put her separate from the others .There's no telling what she can do." She heard Tarrlock said and suddenly she was being yanked out of the truck violently.

"Hey! You're hurting her!" Bolin yelled as he struggled to get up but the officer pushed him down.

"Ow!" Aylin yelled as the officer yanked her down, causing her to twist her ankle.

"Stop it! You're hurting her!" Bolin yelled as Aylin saw the anger in his eyes before the doors were slammed, cutting off her view of Bolin. She was taken to another truck and pushed in as her cheek scraped the wall, causing her to gasp in pain.

The door slammed behind her and the truck moved. She was alone and hurt and angry.

She sat down heavily, her legs no longer supporting her. She hoped Bolin would be okay like everyone else and that Korra could get them out.

She really hoped.
