Chapter Three:
Acceptance

Well to say Jun as a tad pissed off her Mother talked her in to leaving Republic City was bit understated and most of Air Temple Island being fixed by Team Avatar and The Guards from The Metal Clan with Jun only saying sorry for the mess to Uncle Tenzin, Bolin, Asami and the Guards after she lost.

She also punched Mako again for not leaving her alone despite warnings from her and the whole family. "Ugh can't believe Mom got me to leave" Jun pouted as she looked out the window to see the mountain range.

"I can…Jun sweetie, You Mother is only looking out for you, like she said she can't look after you, The Avatar and the City" Su reasoned with her Niece as Kuvira smiled.

"I know and I needed to get away from Mako, but I could help, I am not a little girl anymore, I was a Cop but from what Mom said it was the only way" Jun sighed before sitting down. The trip had been a little rocky with Jun unable to sleep properly, so Su had Kuvira stay in the younger Beifong's room.

"I know but I think this is needed and you get to meet the rest of your family, maybe my Mother might show up" Su chuckled as Jun giggled.

"I met Nana once, she took me to a cop bar which was funny until Mom showed up six hours later having ran around the City looking for us, Nana just said 'Took you long enough Pup' Mom's face was a picture before she dragged me home" Jun smiled softly at the memory.

Su smiled softly and sat beside her Niece before hugging her gently. "I think you will enjoy it at Zaofu" Su kissed her head before noticing Jun had fallen asleep, she looked at the Captain "Pick a guard that you think will match my Niece Properly and have them move in with her for the length of her stay, and Kuvira could you gently take Jun to bed, poor girl is finally asleep"

Kuvira and her Captain nodded. Kuvira slowly and gently picked up Jun and blinked. "Su…Jun is really light…I have an idea you may like"

Su turned and smiled. "Oh what do you have in mind?"


Kuvira walked out and locked the door to the guest house Su's Niece; Jun would be staying in, now she had to go the guard house to find out who was to be chosen as Jun's personal guard, She hoped it would be female to be honest.

The Eighteen year old Beifong was a pretty girl 'Beautiful, strong, graceful and Elegant' Kuvira blinked and shook her head. She didn't want any male try and take advantage of Su's Niece 'Or hell will break loose' not only that She did only just break up with that Firebender lad 'Disloyal Basta-'. Kuvira stopped outside the doors to the barracks.

What the hell was wrong with her, she never had a reaction to another female, minus the small child crush she had on Su, and Jun looked just like Su but younger and her skin tone was darker. She had seen the small fight she had with Chi-blockers before they stopped Amon taking the girl's bending. They were swift and elegant even though she was tired, she never backed down…hell she even decked her ex Twice and had an Earthbending fight with her Mother, afterward she polite and apologised to making the mess.

"Kuvira?" Su spoke softly, bring the young guards attention back to the real world and red cheeked. "Ah sorry Su I was thinking about something before seeing who was picked"

"It's perfectly fine, oh; your idea about The Dance Troupe was great. Jun said she would like to join, even though she is new I think she will get the hang of it" Su smiled as did Kuvira, she was glad that she would be able to help Jun settle here for the time she was here.

"Good"

"Oh looks like we get to see who was picked" Su spoke lightly as the first male guard came out. "Guardsman Bai Correct?"

"Yes Ma'am" He spoke softly as he stood at attention.

"Who was picked?"

"G-Guardsman Zwei, Ma'am"

Kuvira's eyes widened, out of all the Guards, why was he chosen, everyone knew he was a creep and liked to target newbies or new people regardless of the name. "Ma'am, I must interject and ask you to remove Guardsman Zwei from being Jun's Personal guard"

Su was waiting for this moment and smiles. "Consider it done, Guardsman Kuvira, your new post is my Niece's Personal Guard, understood"

"Y-Yes Ma'am" Kuvira blinked before nodding, She watched as Su walked in and told them she had chosen Kuvira as Jun Beifong's Personal Guard for the main reason Kuvira was female. She watched Su walked back out and smiles. "I already had your things moved to Jun's house"

"What, Su you were going to choose me anyway, so why ask the Captain to choose?" Kuvira ask softly as she quickly moved to follow the Beifong.

"Because I trust you…I know you will protect her alongside the rest of us Beifongs should we get infiltrated and I know you like her" Su giggled softly as she walked off.

"H-How?"

"I had been calling to you for ten minutes as you walked to the Barracks until you stopped and spoke out loud what was on your mind, quietly so no one else could hear but I could" Su smiled as she turned half way and looked at Kuvira. "And you're not the type to ask me if someone could join the Dance troupe…but I know how you were when that Mako kept pestering Jun…until she smacked him again"

"I-I could be a first time for any of those, and I could have been complementing her ability as a Bender" She was trying not play it off, 'Yes I like her, but…will she like me'

"Kuvira, make any excuse you like but I know you do…because would smiled and laughed like you did when you lived with me and everyone at the estate and she seems to feel that you are someone she can trust if she can sleep properly with you being there" Su easily destroyed the pitiful defence Kuvira put up.

Kuvira meanwhile sighs in defeat. "I will head to the Estate now and check on her, would you like me to bring her to the main house to meet everyone else"

Su shook her head, "first she needs proper rest and it heal, it's nearly a week now and her bruises are only just going, but maybe tomorrow, bring her for breakfast, and you can join too, normal clothes are required"


Kuvira knocked on the master bedroom door before hearing the occupant answer with the word 'come in'. As she enters she spotted her charge and smiled. "Jun, I will be your guard from today onward, if you okay with that, your Aunt already moved my things in"

Jun giggled. "You didn't get a choice did you, Aunt is like Mom in that respect, but I don't mind, at least it is you and not someone I don't know…its Kuvira right?" Jun walked over to the un-helmeted Guard and looked over her features as she held her hand out.

Kuvira was lightly tanned, with black hair styled with one long bang of hair that hung down the right side of her face and a long ponytail, fern green eyes that showed experience and softness unlike the guard captain…Jun didn't like him, he seemed cocky which reminded her of Mako. Kuvira's eyes seemed gentle at least to her.

Kuvira took the young Beifong's hand and shook it lightly. "Yes, I am glad you remember, I was with your Aunt when we helped your Mom…get you away from…you know" She didn't want to remind the girl of that Madman, but she noticed the shiver. "You are safe here, I will make sure you are and so will Su"

Jun smiled softly. "If I was my Mom I would be a pain and say I don't need protecting but I said that on the Airship here…more than once" Jun nervously laughed as she looked at the female. "Su said about meeting the rest of my family tomorrow, after I clean myself up and rest up, but I'd like know any information about who I am to meet…but we can do that later, I need a shower and we can talk at dinner, if that's okay with that is"

Kuvira just smiled and nodded at the girl. "Sure, I need to do the same, what would you like to eat, I can get the chief to bring something over or I can cook?" Kuvira saw the cogs quickly turn in the girls head before hearing her answer.

"I am curious but let the Chief cook something, you haven't rested up since coming back from Republic City, just like me, plus I don't want you to overwork yourself" Jun smiled brightly as Kuvira nodded 'Should I be the one worrying about you and not the other way around' Kuvira turned to the door. "I will see in a little bit, Jun"

Jun nodded. "Okay"

Jun was alone in the shower, her eyes closed enjoying the warmth of the water pouring down on to her skin, but she was still watching. It was just her and Kuvira. Jun leaned again the wall and slide down as her face turned pained. She still couldn't believe Mako, she told him why she found it hard to trust people, Family was easy, Kuvira had her Aunt's trust but Mako built the trust up, and he knew yet still kissed Korra.

"Jun?"

With a quick flick of her wrists the shower was turned off. "I…will be out in a second" She slowly stood up and gently dried her body and hair before slipping a vest and pants on. She opened the door to see Kuvira sat on her bed with a slight worried look as she walked out barefooted.

"It's that Firebender boy you decked isn't it?"

Jun flinched and looked away. "How did you know?" She spoke gently.

"I was in the same position was your cousin Baatar Junior, I did the same thing too, I decked him and too a really long shower sat under the water thinking about how I missed it, at least from the sound of it you caught them kissing, but I know how it feelings" Kuvira looked to the young Beifong.

"It's not the first time I was betrayed…and trust is an issue of mine, only Family and a few people trusted by family have my trust…Mako knew about what happened…nearly happened to me if Mom hadn't of felt my Seismic Wave or if I was out of her range…my so called boyfriend at the time would have had his way" Jun closed her eyes and sighed. "and Mako knew it was because of that I have trust issues"

Kuvira's eyes widen as Jun spoke about why she was badly affected by her ex, Mako's betrayal…The next thing the older teen knew she was up from the bed and holding the younger teen close. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories…I just thought…"

"You had good intentions…only Mako, Mom and Uncle Tenzin know, now you do…You can tell Aunt Su too…she is family…"Jun slowly passed out against the warmth of Kuvira.

The said woman smiled softly as she gently picked her up. She was glad that Zwei never had the chance to be this girl's Guard. She gently placed her on the bed and pulled the covers over her before leaving the room only to see Su. "You heard"

Su nodded. "I came to check up on you both when I saw you were both in the bedroom and I heard it all…poor girl, I wish I could have known beforehand so I could have decked Mako instead of restraining myself like Lin" Su looked at the bedroom door and closed her eyes. "You should go to sleep soon; you know what time breakfast is, see you in the morning Kuvira" Su left the house after speaking.


Kuvira shifts in her sleep she knew she had to get up but she was snug in her new bed, it was only until she heard the door being knocked, she woke up. "Kuvira, you awake?"

Kuvira slowly slide up to see Jun wearing a jade green sleeveless shirt with a collar, tanned brown trousers with brown shoe like pumps before noticing the pale green long arm warmers a single metal band on her right wrist and another slim ring metal band around her left upper arm. Kuvira smiled at the tomboyish appearance before seeing the bright red cheeks on the girl's brown skinned face.

It was only then she looked down to notice her vest was gone; she must have thrown it off in her sleep. Kuvira quickly pulled the covers up to her neck and blushed rapidly.

"S-Sorry…Iwill…letyougetdressed" Jun swiftly mumbled her words together and closed the door, the sounds of light rushed footsteps making it to the front room, indicated she had left the hallway.

Kuvira was scarlet red as she came from her room dressed in a dark green sleeveless shirt and tanned trousers. She could see her charge was also red faced. "I am sorry about earlier"

"It's okay…I should have waited instead of opening the door afterwards…Just a habit, plus I know your my guard but you are my first friend in this place…I have feeling due to me being a Beifong people will try and get on my good side" Jun stood up and walked towards Kuvira before smiling. "So would it be okay if I could call you Vira as a nickname?"

Kuvira was taken aback from the acute assessment of so of the people here but the fact her charge called her friend made her smile. "Sure, Vira is fine, I like it actually, now let's go to breakfast before your Aunt sends a search party"

Jun smiled brightly as she turned to follow her new friend.


Breakfast was rather odd, being with a big family. Su's Husband Baatar was friendly and happily told her about the mechanical aspect of the city, to which Jun chuckled as she compared her learning of the tension system of the metal cables were closely linked to the dome's ability to open and close and shocked him on how easily she understood technical know of, Maintenance at HQ and having Asami as a friend worked wonders, The eldest, Baatar Junior 'making her the second Eldest in the room, minus Adults and Vira' was shocked to see her understand it all so quickly without things being explained.

Huan, Su's second child was indifferent to her being there, until she metal bent his knife and fork as he went to eat as a joke only to have him glare at it and call it art. Jun could barely hold her giggles as he looked at her and said thank you for inspiration. The prank easily caught the attention of the Twins, Wei and Wing, they quickly asked her for spars and to play a game they made called Power Disc to which she agreed but they would need to teach her how to play both of them cheered happily.

And Last but not least was, Opal the youngest and a non-bender and smart but what shocked Jun and the whole room in to silence was her Question. "Is it true Aunt Lin adopted you Jun?"

Jun noticed the glare that Su gave her daughter. Jun smiled softly. "It's okay, it is valid question…Yes, Mom adopted me when I was a few months old. Mom raided a Terra Triad slave pen, and found me. She refused to let Uncle Tenzin place me in to foster care or in any Orphanage…Mom told him that she would take me in and named me Jun meaning Truth, kinda ironic with my track record before joining the Police Force…" Jun looked up and looked at Opal who just smiled.

"Family is more than blood, it's about honesty" Opal softly spoke.

"I know, though it would have been interesting if I never knew" Jun rebuked lightly taking a sip of her water as Opal's eyes widen.

"I am sorry"

"It's okay, it's not as bad as to what Nana did…she was the one who told me when I was Ten…let's say the whole police force had to do extra training because it took them the whole day to chase me and find me after I had a fight with Mom and nearly hit her with a metal ruler" Jun chuckled lightly

Su just laughed "That is Mom all over"

"Nana's excuse was 'You are a Master Earthbender and Metalbender, you can handle the truth of your birth'" Jun spoke lightly.

Kuvira learnt a lot about the young girl at this morning's breakfast, now she was sat down watching Jun sparring with Wei and Wing using both earth and metal, it was enchanting, that was before a fist nearly collided with her face, She noticed that it was Zwei, but with an angry/pained face.

"Who do you think you are trying to hit Vira?" Jun slightly growled, Kuvira noticed at Jun had her hand out and was Metalbending the metal armguards on Zwei's wrists stopping him from punching Kuvira in the face.

"I will punch who the hell I lik-" Zwei fell to the floor with a broken nose from a smaller fist, Jun's fist.

"Touch…no go to touch my friend again I will do more than break your nose…" Jun got closer to Zwei's bloody face with a very scary death glare. "Understood…"

Zwei nodded his head rapidly and ran away with his tail between his legs. "Stupid mud-slinger"

Su walked out to see Zwei running away and Jun with a bloody hand. "And what happened when I looked away" easily noticing Jun's face had sunk to slightly guilt but protective too.

"Mom you missed it, we are sparring with Jun and next minute we know Zwei came this close to hitting Kuvira but Jun stopped him then socked him one before threating him not to go near Kuvira again" Wei laughed and smiled as Wing called it 'awesome, you should have seen it'

Su sighed before smiling. "You really follow after your Mother and me" Su spoke lightly with a chuckle before noticing Jun becoming rather shy about it all was different and the fact she was a little red face made it a picture for her to remember. Her Niece was being protective of her friend, unlike last time she decked a person 'Mako' in angry and annoyance, she did it to keep her guard/friend safe which was sweet and had caused a different reaction.


Kuvira was doing a walk around of the inside of the building checking everything out before she walked past Jun's room she could hear someone speaking, but muffled due to the door, but she swore she could hear someone crying. Slowly opening the door she saw Jun shifting in her sleep.

Quickly she moves towards the bed as Jun shoots and cries out "NO!" Kuvira swiftly holds Jun close as the younger girl cries against. "Shhh, its okay nothing is here to hurt you, it was a dream"

Jun nuzzles close as she whimpers. "But it was close to reality…I nearly lost my bending to that Maniac, now its haunting me with it coming true"

Kuvira just held her closer and placed her lips against the top of Jun's head and kissed it. "I won't let him take you away nor your bending…I promise"


AN: Here we go...bet none of you thought it would turn out like that, if you did ...shuddup...

Anyway Some of Jun's past explained why she reacted so badly to Mako's kiss with Korra and history with Nana Toph :P and the humiliation of the Police always fun xD
