"A...light bender? What the heck is that?!" screamed Korra.
"Oh Avatar. It's exactly what the name describes. A bender of light. I bend the light around me. I appear to be whatever I want," answered Akari. He had a smirk on his face; Korra hated it.
"So, you're like, a firebender? But with light? I've heard of lightning bending...but this..."
"Firebenders. Ugh. I was an outcast among them. Unable to bend flame and fire, but if only they could see me now. My powers are above all theirs!" Akari was shouting maniacally. The word "firebender" seemed to snap him. "Fire? What is that compared to my power? Nothing! NOTHING AT ALL!" Akari collapsed onto the wall and slid down, now sitting next to Korra.
"Wait a minute. Why am I here?" Korra seemed to have forgotten that she was handcuffed.
"I want to help you, Avatar," he replied. "I want to show the world my power, and you're a great channel."
"So it's ME helping YOU. Typical Avatar stuff, I guess. Now another questio-"
"Another? Haven't I explained enough? I'm going to help you, in the same way you help me," snapped Akari.
"EHEM. Why am I tied up?" She lifted her cuffed hands.
Akari bent the light around them revealing it to be bands of plastic. Korra snapped it, freeing herself.
"I needed to show the Avatar that lightbending is no joke. YOu wouldn't fight your boyfriend, am I right?
"I guess so..." Korra understood it. His lightbending could pack a punch, without throwing one. There was silence for a while.
Akari broke it. "Now a question for you..."
"Hmm?"
"Why didn't you fight back once I returned to myself, Avatar Korra?" His smirk returned.
The Avatar had no words to say.
"Korra! Where have you been!" Tenzin turned that tomato red again. He was mad. Again.
"Relax," Korra said. "I just needed a little break in the city, is all."
Tenzin was still fuming. "And what were you doing in the city?"
"I was just...meeting with a friend. Calm down or else you'll pop a forehead vein or something," she said, as she escaped off into her bedroom for a nap.
"Avatar!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The newly awoken and frightened Avatar rubbed her eyes at the figure beside her bed. "Akari? What are you doing here? What time is it?"
"Half past noon, idiot," he said slyly, a chuckle following.
"Answer the first question now."
"Something came up. I need your help. Let's go on an adventure." Akari then changed into one of the Air Temple guards. "Gotta make sure I don't get caught."
He winked. He walked out the door, waving for Korra to follow. She did.
It was time for an adventure.
