"Wow." Desna said as they walked around the east wing. Korra and Opal had just got done telling them of the night they had. "You had one hell of a night cousin."

Korra shrugged. "It could of gone worse."

"What could have been worse than last night?" Ikki asked as she looked over a table of metal pieces.

"A number of things actually." Eska said she held up a half asleep Korra. "You two do realize she is the avatar right?"

"Of course we do." Kai said rolling he's eyes. "It's just that last night was the most exciting our lives have been in a while. I mean have you to forgotten we're just a couple of orphans?" Kai said looking at everyone in the room.

Korra rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She went into avatar state as she walked over to them. "You're not just a couple of orphans are you?" She asked making them look at the floor.

Tenzin walked up beside her. "I would like that story now." Tenzin said frowning at them. "You two weren't born spirit bonders were you?" They shook their heads as they looked up.

"How could you tell?" Kai asked looking at him amazed. Tenzin smirked as he turned off his spirit eyes.

"Wait how did you cut it off. It's suppose to stay on when she's in avatar state." Ikki said confused as Korra left avatar state.

"Perks of being born from the avatar." Tenzin said as he walked away.

"Avatar Aang?" Ikki asked him tense before relaxing. "Aang will do just fine. He wasn't much of a avatar." Tenzin said standing beside Opal. Opal bumped him with her shoulder making him smile a little.

"Okay." Kai said understanding it was something not to bring up.

"It's fine now talk. Your spirit energy is from the spirit world it has traces of yellow. Very small but they are there and your energy level is higher than normal." Tenzin said urging either one to speak.

Ikki leaned over a table looking at nothing. "It was our family vacation." She said tapping her brother with her foot. "Remember what dad said? This'll be something to tell your kids, somethings they'll tell their kids, something they'll tell their kids, and so on and so on."

"In reality he wasn't wrong just the nature of the story would change." Kai said glaring at the floor. "We held hands so we wouldn't separate and go to different parts of the spirit world. We were transporting to the spirit world when the bomb hit."

"It was like we were just floating. We felt the tremor but nothing happened for second before we started falling. The energy started fluctuating. It lashed out at us. The first thing in sight when something went wrong." Ikki said drawing on the table with her fingers.

"And I'm guessing no one in here has been hit with spirit world spirit energy." Kai said looking for any one to say something. He sighed when he only got stares. "Then none of you will know how it feels to have it rip through your body, your soul, your very existence. But that isn't the painful part." Kai said shaking his head. "The painful part is looking over and seeing it happen to your family. Watching them die and the being restored only to have it happen again."

"Then as fast as it had begun it was over." Ikki said pushing up off the table. "We were falling and then bouncing off then ground. Me and Kai had rolled some feet away from where the spirit portal had been. Our parent however hand been pierced by spirit vines that had started to sprout about the huge crater. None of us had the strength to do anything else besides breath. After a while we did move when we regained feeling in our body but only me and Kai were able to get up."

"You know how in movies when someone is going to die you get a grand speech and just a minute more." Kai said as he looking at his sister before looking away. "The only thing we got was our parents screams as the spirit portal came back down. We were transported into the spirit world as they faded away."

"There was nothing but ugly beauty around us. It made us sick as we stared at the were our parents should have been." Ikki said as she scowled at the table. "I remember thinking no feeling that the spirit world wasn't at fault here. As much as I wanted to blame it all on it I couldn't. Because it didn't know that we weren't a threat."

"While she had those thoughts I remembering wishing to leave. To be rid of this stupid place and this stupid wonderful energy I could feel flowing through me. A energy were I should feel grief for my parents was feeling my chest and I hated it. Hated every bit of it because it wasn't right. It was my right. Our right to be sad, to be upset, to be lost. But instead I felt safe." Kai said helplessly as he kept looking at the table. "Safer than I have felt in a long time and I wanted it all to end."

"We're still not sure how long we were there but when the portal opened back up and we were back in the human world. It was like time had waited on us. We were standing in front of the spirit portal were our parents should have lain. We only left when we heard the police sirens." Everyone looked at them confused and Ikki laughed sadly. "How convincing do you think two teenagers would have been trying to tell them they didn't attempt to blow up the spirit world. And when they asked about their parents that they were dead." She said making the room quieter than it already was.

"Well um that was..." Desna said lost for words. His twin hit him aside the head for speaking. He whined but she ignored him.

"Thank you for sharing that with us." Eska said as she nodded at them. "With that out of the way what now?"

"Yes well." Tenzin said clearing his throat. "We need to figure out what they had Dr. Rohan up to. It seems he was making more than the weapons Opal described to us. And I think I have the prefect person to help us."

"Who is it?" Korra asked as she stretched and yawned.

"Well Dr. Rohan had a apprentice but she dropped off the grid when he disappear. Her name is Dr. Jinora." Tenzin said as he tapped away on his watch.

"Wait if she went off the grid how are you going to find her?" Opal asked confused.

Tenzin scuffed rolling his eyes. "I kept tabs on her of course. Like I would honestly let someone with a mind like hers just go into hiding."

Opal rolled her eyes as well. "Of course you would." She said shaking her head.

"Yes yes." Tenzin said shooing them out of the door of the wing. "I'll contact her today and ask her if she'll be interested in coming by today. She needs time to see if she actually wants to do this but not so much time to think herself out of it." Tenzin said as he closed and locked the door. "See you all tomorrow as he headed up to his room." Everyone stood around shocked at his quick exist.

"That was unlike him." Opal said looking after the man who had just left.

Korra waved it off as she went into the kitchen. "Leave him be."

"Well in that case." Eska said giving her cousin a wicked smile. "Do tell us about this Asami our yours." She said making Korra blush.

"She's not mine." She mumbled as she went to the fridge.

Opal laughed at her friends misfortunate but that died away as the twins turned to her. "What?" She asked nervously.

"Don't think we don't want details about you and your soulmate." Desna said. "I think you said her name was Kuvira."

Opal stuttered out a reply as the younger siblings looked at each other. How the group could go from serious to acting like a humble family they had know idea. Ikki laughed at them joining in the fun while Kai went to help Korra cook breakfast.

Tenzin sighed as he leaned his head against the door. He pulled away as he went over to his mirror. He slowly pulled off his shirt then stared at the scars. The spirit energy torture he went through still haunted his dreams. He really regretted doing what he was about to do. He pulled up a number on his Sato watch and dialed it. A small part of him hoped the other person wouldn't pick up.

"Hello?" He didn't get what he wanted.

"Tenzin what have I told you about calling me and not saying anything?" The person said sounding annoyed but he knew she wasn't.

"Sorry." He said falling back on his bed. Shi appeared out of spirit portal sensing his distress through the bonded. He plopped himself right down on his stomach and Tenzin slowly ran his fingers through his feathers.

"All is forgiven now tell me what's wrong?" She asked making Tenzin wish he could will himself to hang up.

"I know we promised not to every bring it up again." He said hearing a crash from the other line. "But you know I wouldn't if it wasn't important. I've found to teenagers like us. Their circumstances on which it came about is different but the pain of it is still the same." The silence in which he received was deafening. Had it been anyone else he would have thought that they hung up but right now he knew that wasn't the case. He knew that he had taken this person to a dark place and he had to wait. Wait until they came back to him. But oh how he wanted to reach into that dark place and pull them out.

"And how are they?" Came the steel voice from the other person. He wanted to cry to just go back in time and tell himself not to make this call. Even if he needed her he shouldn't have needed her like this.

"That's just it. They're fine you wouldn't think they had been through what they did. But last night I went to see them before they went to sleep I put a spirit energy blocker on them. Then I came back sometime after they were asleep and put up a energy field. And when I took down the energy blocker." He shivered remembering the feeling. "It was like they were a spirit portal itself. There was so much spirit energy. Then I made to move closer to them." Tenzin said stilling his hand in Shi's feathers. "It happened so fast but I was there. I was there and it was amazing. I teleported to the spirit world the first human to do that in three years." He said breathless.

The call went silent again but he couldn't wait this time. "Kya?" He asked wondering if this time she really did hang up on "Dammit! I've asked to much this time. I know it's a lot to belie-"

"If you think I don't believe you dear brother you are wrong." Kya's voice vibrated out. "I have nothing but belief in you." Kya sighed. "The point is I'm long past doubting you Tenzin." Tenzin smiled relieved. "But what do you want me to do?"

His heart clenched at the desperation in her voice. "I need you to train them." Before she could deny him he rushed in. "That's all I promise it will not go much further than that unless you want it to. I can drop them off at your place and pick them up. There will be a energy field up and you will be able to detect whoever steps through it. You will be alerted of a spirit bonder if they come within five miles of your place." When he expected silence he got laughter instead.

"It's just like you to plan it all out then put it down so I won't have away to deny you. You are something else little brother. Bumi is going to laugh his head off when I tell him about your bold stunt."

Tenzin relaxed resuming his trail through Shi's feathers. "How is the old full?"

"I don't know." Kya said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Tenzin asked worriedly.

"He went into the spirit world a couple weeks ago but he hasn't come back yet." Kya said unsurely. "You know how he likes to go off exploring them come back and tell us."

"Yeah Shi sometimes see's him when he returns to the spirit world." Tenzin said fondly. "But if this was a simple adventure then you wouldn't be so worried."

Kya sighed again. "Yes I know but I've got a bad feeling about this one. He should of been back by now."

"I understand but worrying about it will do the two of us no good. I'll ask Shi to see if he can find him." Tenzin said looking at the spirit in question. Shi nodded from his spot on his bonder's chest.

"OK will you see if he can come by for Mel. A two spirit search party is better than one." Kya asked and Shi nodded again.

"It's no problem." Tenzin said looking up at his ceiling.

"Always the level headed one. Well little brother as important as this call has been. I've got to go." Kya said before hanging up.

Tenzin threw his arm over his eyes. The weight of what he had just done settling over the right he was trying to do. He wanted nothing more than to just disappear. Shi nuzzled his way into his chest when Tenzin silent tears started to fall.

"Just sleep I'll wake you when it's time to get up." Shi said feeling the pain of his bonder.

Kya crumpled to the floor as soon as the call was over. She was nothing but a shaking crying ball when Mel found her. The little spirit looked ono helpless at her knowing what could have caused this. Then he got an idea. He bonded with her and guided her to the pool. When they fell in to it he separated from her. She wrapped her arms around him pulling him into her chest. They floated in the water until Kya didn't feel like she wanted to break apart. Kya swam to the top and floated. Mel sat on her stomach watching her. She replayed her thoughts from her conversation to him.

"Do you think you can do it?" Mel asked her.

"I did it before so I'm sure I can do it again." She said closing her eyes.

"Yes but that was spirit energy. Spirit world energy is raw and powerful." Mel said bonding with her again.

"Do you doubt me?" She asked as she opened their eyes.

"No never." Mel said as they swam underwater. "I just want you to know this is different and knew. I can also assure you that this will be difficult considering your history." Mel said as they stopped moving in the water.

"Yes I know but you'll be there to ground me when I try to sink." Kya said smiling as they relaxed into the water surrounding them.

Asami was barely awake as she flipped through the channels on Kuvira's TV when said person stumbled down stairs. Kuvira tripped falling onto the couch and Asami with a groan.

"Can't you sit down like a normal person?" Asami asked as she adjusted to the weight.

"I could but where's the fun in that?" Kuvira mumbled.

"Honey look what the cat drug in." Baatar's voice song out into the apartment as he burst through the front door with Jinora behind him. He looked a the other two and laughed as he went to take a seat.

Instead of letting go of Asami's tongue she looked at the fox spirit that trotted in. "Hey Carter Ember's in my room." She said petting his head as he walked by her.

"You two are so weird." Jinora said as she closed the door behind her.

"Yes well be that as it may. I've told her to stop sticking her tongue out at me." Kuvira said letting go of her tongue.

"How was the Gala?" Jinora asked as she curled up in a arm chair.

"Oooh I'll tell you!" Baatar said dreamily causing Asami and Kuvira to laugh. They pateintly waited their turns letting their excited friend tell his side first.

"That sucks that work came up for them." Jinora said brushing her hair out of her face. "What do you think their job is?"

"Maybe some kind of part for the police department. They did get called away right before all the crazy stuff over the city started to happen." Baatar said with he's best thinking face.

"Maybe." Asami said as she stretched a little. "I'll ask one day when we get closer."

Baatar nodded before clapping his hands. "So with that out of the way we can get down to the important stuff."

Kuvira looked over at her friend confused. "The important stuff?"

"Me and Jinora being able to come to this party that they invented you to." He said frowning. "Were you not going to invite us?"

"Duh it just slipped my mind. Asami?" Kuvira said over at her bestfriend.

Asami shrugged. "I don't see why not you to can't come along."

"Good because Princess Korra is related to Prince Desna and I think he might be there." Baatar almost squealed.

"I'm sure he will just jump for joy at another person squealing at him." Jinora deadpanned making Baatar pout. "Soulmate or not he won't like you if your making a fool of yourself."

"I guess your right." Baatar said defeated.

Jinora softened when she seen his shoulders slump. She leaned over and punched him arm making him jump. "Be your dorky self and you'll have him falling for you in no time." Baatar rolled his eyes at the lighthearted jab but smiled none the less.

Kuvira stood up yawning. "As much as I'm loving this." She said twirling a finger around the room. "My cousin Wu just asked me to pick him up from the airport right now." She said pulling a lazy Asami to her feet. "Do you guys want to come along?" She asked her other two friends.

Jinora smiled. "Sure I haven't seen the adorable little fuck in a while."

Kuvira laughed as she pushed Asami towards the stairs. "I'm sure he would love it if you called him that. Just give us a minute to change and we can be on our way." She said as she disappeared up stairs.

They stood in a group as Kuvira searched the crowd for her cousin. A half a hour passed before Kuvira spotted him through the crowd.

"Wu!" She shouted waving her arms.

Wu looked around before he spotted her. A smile broke across his face as he hurried over to him. Kuvira hugged him tight before letting go and letting Ember greet him. Wu laughed as the spirit licked his face.

He looked over at Kuvira's friend's and smiled giving them a wave. "Hi guys."

Baatar ran forward and scooped him up in a hug. "You were right Jinora! He is a adorable little fuck!" Wu giggled as he was twirled around.

"Alright alright Jr. the kid just got off a plane I'm sure he's hungry." Jinora said breaking up the happy moment. Carter yipped happily at the mention of food causing Jinora to roll her eyes at him.

"Yeah yeah that way you can tell me what your doing here." Kuvira said throwing a arm over his shoulder. She guided him to the exist with her gang following.

"Yeah aren't you like the ruler of The Earth Kingdom or something like that."

"The 54th ruler actually." Wu said matter of factly as he rolled his eyes. "If someone wouldn't have left it would have been up to them instead."

"Now now cousin I told you that job just isn't for me." Kuvira said hoping in Asami's convertible. "My tattoo shop fits me just fine."

"And you think ruling a entire country fits me!" Wu yelled throwing his hands in the air. Asami pulled away from the curve sighing. "Look what you've done Sato. Now they're arguing." Jinora said from her spot beside the Kuvira and Wu. She glared up at Baatar who pushed her out the way so she couldn't get the passenger seat.

"How is it my fault? I just wanted to know why he was here and not with his country." Asami said feeling bad for starting the argument.

"Because I stepped down as King got rid of monarchy and set up democracy for each state! Told them to pick presidential candidates and go from there!" Wu was panting as he got done yelling. "I just couldn't do it okay? It was to much responsibility for me. Just because I was born in a royal family doesn't mean I should be in charge. There are far better people out there than me. That's not even what I want to do with my life. And nobody ever wanted to find out." Wu kept his eyes on his lap as the car stopped and turned off. He steeled his self for the disappointment coming his way.

Kuvira titled Wu's head up and lightly at his expression. "I am proud you found your own voice and didn't leave your people hanging like I did. Me and Baatar ran away without looking back." She said pointing up front.

"Your not mad?" Wu asked in disbelief. He looked around at the other three faces looking at him. "None of you think I'm being lazy and just advoiding my duties?" That set off a round of laughter.

"Hey kid remember something for how ever long your here." Asami said as she wiped her eyes. "I have never meet anyone who has not runaway from there line of work every once in a while. This city is meant for something big even though it is the city of peace and people flock to it. Hoping to start new but only find the dumps. So try not to get sucked in but watch from the sidelines and I'm sure you'll find your place." She winked at him as she got out the car along with everyone except the family members.

"You'll fit in just fine around here." Kuvira said as she jumped out the car.

Wu smiled at the group who just got out the car. Asami yelled at Kuvira about jumping out her car while Baatar laughed at her. Which caused Asami to turn her wrath on him also. Jinora looked bored as she tapped away on her watch. Maybe it really was a good idea coming here instead of running off somewhere else.

"So where are we eating at?"

"Now I want you to know something keep something in mind about this meeting. Yes we may be dealing together but in dealing with me you are also dealing with my friends." Zaheer said as he lead the way down a hallway.

"Well that seem-"

"I know you may think it is fine but." He said as he stopped in front of a door. "My friends are heathens the lowest of the low." When the man before him looked hesitant he continued. "I think it's a little to late to back out now. Now it'll be fine if you go in, sit down, and wait for them to speak to you first. They're a little uncomfortable around new people." Zaheer said making a face as he waved his had around. "Something about newcomers having a certain smell."

The man gulped loudly making a pleased smile form on Zaheer's face. He looked around nervously before looking back at Zaheer. "What am I dealing with here?"

"Oh you know evil master minds, murderers, psychopaths, the norm." Zaheer said shrugging. He could tell that the way he spoke so casually about it made the man even more nervous. "Just take it slow and watch them. If you're overly nervous then they'll be on edge and trust me on that you don't want that."

The man nodded and Zaheer guided him forward as he opened the door. "Then please let me introduce you to the Triads, Mr. Sato." Zaheer said as clapping started.

"Wow A plus for the dramatic affect but nothing else." P'Li said as she stopped clapping.

"Fuck you!" Zaheer grumbled as he went to sit down in a chair.

"Not on your life." She said flipping him off.

"Are you going to stand their all day?" Amon asked Mr. Sato as he set down in Zaheer's lap.

"I think you spooked the man to much." Ghazan said laughing as he pulled P'Li close.

"Good God man pull out a chair and sit down and let me poor you a drink. We're celebrating after accomplishing something big." Ming-Hua said as he petted a spirits head. Mr. Sato frowned.

"I thought you were against those disgusting beast!" He yelled turning his nose up at the spirit. In a blur he was against the wall with the centipede spirit wrapping around his body.

"I am no mere spirit human! And while you are here you will do best to mind your fucking manners. Or else deal or not I'll kill you!" The faceless spirit hissed out.

"Koh that's enough let the little idiot breath." Ghazan said laughing at the whole scene.

Koh tsked as he dropped the pathetic man to the floor. He went back to his place at the table while Mr. Sato gasped for air at the table.

"Sorry Hiroshi he doesn't take to well to disrespect." Zaheer said laughing at the man as well.

"Well you've meet Koh and that's everyone you need to know for now." Ming-Hua said smiling as he resumed petting the spirit.

"Koh is one of us so do try to remember that in the future Mr. Sato." Amon said from his place in Zaheer's lap. "He has the same objective as all of us."

Hiroshi nodded as he stood back up on wobbly legs. He slowly made his way over to the table and fell in the chair. "And what's that."

"Why to end the avatar of course." Amon said with nasty smile.

"And take out as many spirits as possible." Ming-Hua said as he slid him over a drink.

"Here! Here!" Went around the room as they laughed and drunk up.

The whole ordeal was watched from two people above. One scowled and one smirked. The one smirking turned to the other and laughed.

"How could you possibly be laughing at this?" He asked glaring back down at the people in the room.

"And how could you not be happy?" The other questioned.

"They should be-"

"They should be enjoying this while it last. They have done everything we've asked and have not turned on us yet. I think you should be thankful you head still resides on your shoulders."

"Oh I'd like to see them try. And as for not turning on us. Then let them plot if they wish. I'll simple kill them and get replacements." He growled out.

"You will do no such thing. Getting them this far is something spectacular but I will not do this trouble shit again. And neither will you since." The other said leaving with the man following.

"Do not act high and mighty like the first couple of your tries succeeded. When they did not and I remember because I was there." He said making the other stop in his tracks. He pushed him into the wall and yanked down his pants. "Do not forget it was me who freed you from your powers." He said as he pushed inside him.

The other man hissed at the familiar burn he felt and loved. He pushed back meeting the mans thrust.

"I am the one who helped you move on and help you realize you were meant for something great." The man grunted as he rammed into the other man.

He sped up his thrust when he felt the man squeezing and sucking him in so greatly. He gave a finally thrust hand shooting up to choke the other man as he emptied his self in him. He pulled away when he was done and pulled up his pants fixing himself.

"Clean up this mess." He said nodding his head to the other mans cum on the wall. "Then come see me in our room." The man said turning the other man around and kissing him before taking his leave.
