Hello again! :) Sorry if this sounds a little rushed, but I needed to explain before we get some action. (Which will be coming!) Thanks to Scully and Silver for reviewing! (You guys are amazing!) Read on my friends!
"Ready for your tour Asami?" Bolin claps his hands together, and Asami chuckles. "I guess. I've only walked around the medical division." She tilts her head and smiles. "That's alright. We only have 4 levels anyway." Bolin says as he guides her down the white halls. "The first level underground is Communications. They help will all sorts of things, like hacking into things, contacting us on important things on the government." He says, taking her in an elevator and pressing the '1' button. "The commander in charge of Communications is Mako, my brother." He smiles, and Asami nods. The elevator doors open, and out they walk. The walls here are all grey and cemented, with glass separating all the different workers around. "The people who work on this level help suppress our movement via radar, and help scout out new people for us to help." Bolin waves at someone working, who smiles and waves back. "They're a big help at getting more people on our side." As the two turn another corner, a man with a red scarf shouts loudly, "I DON'T CARE, GET THAT MESSAGE BACK UP NOW!" Asami hears Bolin sigh, "That's my brother. Here, I'll introduce you to him. He's kinda the big boss around here." Bolin guides her up a couple of stairs before they move through a glass door, revealing their presence. "Mako, hey." Bolin says, and Mako turns around swiftly from huge computer screens before his gaze softens. "Hey bro. Sorry, things are pretty hectic around here right now. The government just sent out a mass message, but we can't seem to get it up yet." He rubs the back of his neck, until his gaze sets on Asami. "Ah! You must be Asami. I'm commander Mako, the head of Public Resistance and commander of Communications. It's nice to meet you." Mako holds out his hand, and Asami shakes it wearily. "It seems one of commanders is fond of you. You should be able to meet her soon." Mako smiles, and Bolin taps Asami. "Speaking of, we should get back to our tour." Asami smiles, and turns back to Mako. "Thank you commander Mako, it was my pleasure." She nods, and follows Bolin out.
"Our next level is Medical, which you've already been." Bolin presses the '4' button. "But the fourth level is our Engineering level." Asami frowns, "Why did we skip three?" she points to the '3' button, and Bolin taps her hand down. "That's for last." He smiles, and Asami just gives a confused look. "Engineering helps with the generators that keep the power going down here. And they help create new things for us." Bolin smiles widely as he takes Asami out the elevator. Immediately she starts to cough, as the lights flicker on and off and the walls drip water. "Sorry, this level is pretty far down." Bolin frowns, and Asami shakes her head. "It's fine." They walk around a small corner, and Asami gasps as they walk into an open dome, full of people and machines. A huge generator covered the back middle floor, grinding and humming soundly. "Whoa! This is crazy!" Bolin smiles and walks alongside her as she awes. "I'm actually in charge of this level." Bolin smirks, and Asami's eyes widen. "You're kidding? That's so cool!" The two walk to a side of the huge dome, which hold some engineers and someone holding a weapon. "This is where we test our new weapon designs," Bolin says, and they both jump as a big boom sounds and black smoke fills the room they look in through the glass, "But sometimes they don't work out." Bolin mumbles as the person holding the gun blinks with ash all on their face. Asami chuckles, and Bolin leads her back to the elevator. "Alright, onto level 3."
"Level three is the Assault level." Bolin explains as the elevator doors open. The walls are green with a grey mix, and gunpowder fills the air. "This is where we train our volunteer soldiers." They walk around another corner, until they are met with some people watching some TV screens laid out across a long wall. "Some people come watch the soldiers train through these TV's," Bolin stops next to one, and Asami pauses with him. "A while ago, we created a simulator that creates an environment and CPU enemies." Asami widens her eyes, "How's you do that?!" She shouts with excitement. Bolin just shrugs, "I was easy actually. But I doubt you'd want to hear the whole explanation. Let's just say computers can do more than you know." He smiles, "Go ahead and check out the rest of the screens." Bolin turns to continue watching, and Asami moves her way down the row of TV's. She settles her sight on one soldier, who ducts on oncoming fire behind a tree. It felt like watching a TV show, she realizes, and she's actually amazed these are real people. Suddenly another figure appears on the screen, and Asami recognized them immediately by the familiar blue eyes. It's the girl from before! The girl says something to the soldier beside her, and he runs off. She suddenly turns fast, gliding through the simulated trees so quickly it's like she's done this a million times. Asami is entranced; the blue eyes dart so fast, her reflexes are amazing as she shoots one after another enemy down, and she doesn't even stumble! "Oh, that's Korra." Bolin mutters behind her, and Asami finally sighs in contentment. Korra. What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. "I didn't know she was in the simulator today. Usually she's with Mako trying to find more people to rescue." He looks just as much entranced as Asami. "What's she like?" Asami asks, and Bolin smiles from behind her. "She's rash, but she strong. And she's smart when it comes to these types of things. That's why she's the commander of this level." Asami nods, watching the girl's brown hair bounce back and forth as she runs. "She's also nice, when she wants to be. She hides her feelings a lot though." Asami scowls, "Why?" "She has a complicated past, she says. She doesn't want people to go easy on her. And she wants as less pain as possible." Bolin mumbles the last part as if replaying Korra's message in his head. Asami frowns, "that's sad." "That's who she is." They exchange a glance, and Asami notices the TV has turned black. "Hey, where'd they go?" She asks disappointedly. Bolin grins, "This way." He brings her around to another door, scans with a card on his belt, and the door opens automatically. "Good work everybody! Especially you, commander Korra!" Bolin shouts, and suddenly the girl pushes through the crowd of sweaty soldiers, her muscular arms glistening with sweat and her face looking annoyed. "Bolin, Mako just told me there was a message on the new about me." She says, but her sentence stopped and her gaze softens on Asami. Asami's heart starts pumping rapidly, and blue eyes eye her up and down. "Hi." She simply says, and Asami wants to fall to the ground right then and there. Everyone around them just stares intensely at Korra, but the two seem to ignore everyone in the room. Finally, Asami gets to meet those blue eyes. And she is NOT disappointed.
