He was worried about Aylin. He couldn't get the image of her struggling against the officer as he dragged her roughly from the truck and on the ground. He hated feeling so helpless and wanted to yank the guy off of her and break the cuffs on her wrists.

He hated seeing her wince in pain and he felt a stabbing in his heart when she had cried out in pain. He hasn't felt so useless as he did then.

And it felt like his heart had been ripped out when they shut the doors on them, blocking his view of her and he was going crazy with worry. Were they hurting her? Was she okay? Was she being interrogated?

He didn't know and he hated not knowing. He wanted to hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay. He wanted to kiss her until she was breathless and just touch her.

He wanted to comfort her and make sure she was safe and sound because he loved her. Yes, he had fallen in love with her and didn't want her out of his life. It was obvious she was rather reluctant on showing her feelings towards him but he didn't care. He was patient and understood her reasons.

He would wait until she fell in love with him and if she didn't well...

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but it would hurt. He would still be in her life because he couldn't imagine his life without her now. He loved her and wanted her to be happy and safe.

He and Mako were in prison for a day now and Bolin had stopped pacing, his mind constantly going to Aylin. He couldn't concentrate on anything until he knew for a fact that she was safe.

They waited. For something.

Anything.

They waited for a long time until Bolin felt the pressing urge to pee. He called out to see if he could use the bathroom but no one had answered him. Well, if he was going to pee in here, it would not be his fault. He headed to a corner and demanded that Mako turn around.

He unzipped his pants and waited to pee but felt shy and awkward peeing in the room with Mako a few steps away.

"Are you done yet?" Mako asked, annoyed.

"Cover your ears, I can't go with you listening." Bolin demanded as he heard Mako sigh irritably.

They heard a metal bang and Mako said, "Asami!"

Bolin had turned around just in time see Asami run up to Mako and kiss him and felt his face flush as he let go.

"Ah! A little privacy please!"

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's so good to see you."

"Hate to break up your lovers reunion but Korra's in trouble. Amon captured her." Chief Bei Fong said as Mako stepped back in shock and disbelief.

Everyone was stunned into disbelief.

"No, no she can't be gone."

"Come on, we have an Avatar to rescue."

Bolin quickly pulled up his pants in a hurry and rushed out to the door when Bei Fong pulled up his zipper, causing him to blush and grab his pelvis.

"Your fly was down."

"Thanks for catching that."

Everyone hurried until Bolin noticed that Aylin was not with them.

"Wait!" He yelled, heart pounding with worry.

"We can't wait. Korra's missing." Mako yelled angrily and desperately.

"Aylin. Where is she?"

Everyone stopped walking. "They placed her with me for a minute but took her out because she was a waterbender and they thought she could break down the wall. I haven't seen her since."

Bolin stomach dropped with dread at Asami's word. "We have to find her."

Chief Bei Fong nodded. "She's a waterbender so they'll put her in a decompressed room where she can't bend water from the air. That would be underground."

Bei Fong raised her foot and slammed it down, using her seismic sense to search for Aylin. Bolin waited almost impatiently. He wanted to know that Aylin was okay and unharmed.

What felt like hours but rather minutes, Bei Fong straightened up. "She's underground, her hands and feet bound but she's unharmed."

Bolin felt immense relief swamp his body as he nearly sagged. "Come on, let's go."

Bei Fong led the way as Bolin heart pounded with anticipation and worry. Why was she bound? Was she okay? Was she hurt? He had to know and the only way for his heart to calm down was seeing her in person.

They hurried and went down series of stairs and hallways until they reached a huge metal door and Bei Fong quickly opened it. They went and saw doors on either side of them but Bei Fong went straight towards the last one on the right.

"Here." Bei Fong immediately opened the door and Bolin nearly pushed her aside to get in.

Aylin had her eyes wide open in disbelief, her hands bound behind her and her feet bound to the bed. Bolin fetlt anger rush through at the way they were holding her.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he cupped her face gently, afraid to hurt her.

"I'm fine." She murmured softly. Her metal cuffs fell from her wrists and feet. As soon as they fell off, Aylin stood up and crashed into him, her lips slamming into his passionately. He held her tightly in the same way Mako had held Asami.

They kissed passionately, his body heating and exploding with electricity as he held her to him. They pulled away breathless.

"We have to go find Korra." Mako said and everyone quickly headed after him.

"Korra?" Aylin asked as Bolin wrapped his hand around hers and they followed the others.

Bolin quickly told her the rundown of what had gone down and her face turned into one of shock and confusion.

"We have to find her." Aylin said worriedly.

"We will." Bolin said, kissing her quickly again.

They had reached Tenzin's office and he looked at them in disbelief and confusion. Bolin had not once let go of her hand once since they escaped prison.

"Call me the minute you hear anything"

"Lin? What are-what are-what are you- You should be in the hospital!"

"And you four. You should be in prison."

"I figured you could use our help in finding Korra." Bei Fong said as Bolin scratched his chin abashedly.

"Do you have any leads?" Mako asked worriedly.

"I've been on the phone all morning but nothing yet." Tenzin said sighing and looking tired.

"We need Naga. She can track Korra."

"I'm afraid her polar bear dog is missing as well." Tenzin said regretfully.

"Then where do we start?" Bolin asked, wondering exactly what they're going to do.

"My guess is the equalists are hiding underground in a maze of tunnels beneath the city." Bei Fong said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Underground. Just like my father's secret factory. It figures." Asami said as Aylin sighed.

"Yeah, yeah. When those chi blockers had me in their truck. It sounded like we drove into a tunnel."

"When?" Aylin asked as Bolin winced. He had forgotten to tell her that.

"It was nothing." Bolin murmured as Aylin eyes narrowed almost angrily.

"I know where to start looking. Come on!" Mako exclaimed and Bolin had never before felt such relief at the moment. Aylin didn't question him but he knew she wasn't going to let it go.

They all climbed on Oogi and Tenzin led them to a seemingly empty street. Bolin helped Aylin get off.

"The truck with Bolin took down this alley." Mako pointed, determination set all over him. They all ran down where several streets led to many other streets.

"Which way?" Aylin and Asami asked at the same time.

"Hmm, this way kinda smells familiar." Bolin murmured. Bei Fong used her seismic sense and immeditely pointed to their right.

"There's a tunnel nearby." She led the way and they slid down the embankment and ran to a closed tunnel.

"There!" Mako exclaimed, hope tinging his voice.

"Motorcycle tracks." Bei Fong said as she kneeled before standing up.

"Korra has to be in there. Somewhere." Mako said as Bei Fong raised the gate. Mako created a fire ball in his hand to light the way as they headed in. Bolin felt Aylin's hand grab his almost desperately and he squeezed it reassuringly.

He knew she wasn't particularly fond of the dark, especially since the whole full moon fiasco. But he held her so she could feel safe and loved. She smiled up at him timidly and his heart swelled with emotion. Her smile did so many things to his insides and he never wanted her to stop. He wanted that smile to be on her face because of him.

As they walked, they reached the four tunnels that could lead anywhere. "Let's try this way."

"And what if Korra's not down there?"

"Then we pick another tunnel until we find her!" Mako snapped at Asami which Bolin notice and winced slightly.

They started walking, Aylin moving ahead of Bolin leaving Asami with him. "Hey, is Mako alright? He seems really worried about Korra."

"Yeah, we all are." He said to her.

"I know but he's your brother. Do you think he likes Korra as more than just a friend?" Bolin reeled back, suddenly feeling very awkward and nervous.

"Aha! What? No, that's...just gossip. Where did you hear that? Crazy talk is coming out of your mouth right now. He!" He knew he was lying and he put his hands behind his back to still the nervousness. How was he supposed to tell her that Mako and Korra kissed and he had caught them which left him confused when Mako ran up to tell him that it meant nothing? He couldn't just blurt it out, could he?

"What do you know, Bolin?" Asami asked seriously and he was cracking, her hand on his shoulder, forcing him to stop and he knew he was going to tell her. Maybe he could downplay it. "Come on, spill it."

He yanked at his shirt before saying, "Nothing. I mean, there was this one time during the tournament when Korra and Mako kissed but..."

"They kissed?" Asami said, shock written all over her face and Bolin knew he had to salvage this fast. Make it seem like it was nothing because it was nothing, right?

"Believe me, they were upset. But they're over it. I don't think it meant anything." He said, trying to cheer her up.

"I doubt that." She said and Bolin knew she wasn't going to let this go.

Good thing he wasn't Mako at the moment.
