A/N: This was a lot of fun to write. :)
Crime
"Uhh… I think we're outnumbered…" Bolin said, unease apparent in his voice as he backed up to Korra's back.
Korra sucked on her teeth. "I think you're right," she said as their three ruthless adversaries closed in.
"How do you want to take 'em?" Bolin asked.
Korra rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck, readying herself for a fight. "The little one's mine," she challenged, narrowing her eyes at the unruly miscreant.
They were surrounded on all sides with no escape. Their only way out of this was to face their foes head on and hope for the best. Bolin grasped Korra's hand in his, squeezing it tightly to let her know he wouldn't abandon her. "Hey, we'll make it if we stick together," he said.
Korra glanced at him over her shoulder and squeezed back as enemy number one made his attack.
The bald headed villain babbled insanely, drooling at the mouth as he dove for Bolin's legs. Bolin shrieked and danced out of reach of his attacker.
Korra shifted from foot to foot, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The small one was surprisingly fast, his moves difficult to anticipate as he evaded her by weaving in and out of obstacles. She wasn't expecting an assault from the side, but easily dodged as the second, larger fiend's hands reached for her.
"How you doing?" Korra hollered to Bolin over the sounds of screaming and atrocities being committed.
"J-just fine!" he said, and he managed to snag his pintsized foe and trap him against his chest. "I got one! I'm gonna start the bath!" The one-year old squirmed in Bolin's arms, kicking and screaming as they rushed to the tub.
"Okay!" Korra shouted, chasing after the second speedy twin. "We'll be there in a minute!"
"Mama!" Midori squealed. "Mama! YuYu! Go under!" The toddler pointed frantically at her amber-eyed little brother hiding under the table.
"Come here, you little–!" Korra shouted, diving onto her stomach to capture the twin. When he moved out of reach, she could have sworn she heard a maniacal laugh come from her – arguably – innocent child. Korra pounded her fist on the floor and growled in aggravation deep in her throat.
"You didn't get him yet?" Bolin asked. He'd returned holding a still flailing infant in his hands. Somehow, the pair had managed to get soaking wet within a matter of a few seconds.
Korra glared at him, bouncing slightly as the floor started to shake.
Not even two years old and Midori could already earthbend like a pro.
"Should we… like… apologize to mankind for the evil we've unleashed upon the world?" Bolin asked, smiling awkwardly.
"I'm the Avatar," Korra said grimly. "I'll deal with it."
A/N: Naturally, they take after their mother. :P
Also, the twins' names are Youta (firebender) and Ren (waterbender).
