Skeletons in the closet / Endgame
AN: I thought since these two aired as one, I'd do the same.
It had been several weeks since Amon had taken over the city, most of the benders had been rounded up, and almost all of them had been equalized. "The age of bending is almost over!" Hiroshi Sato said from the stage. A rally had taken place so most of the people left in the city had attended, "The Avatars are on the run, and Amon has done what he has promised, Republic City is no longer ruled by oppressive benders! Now is time for our rule. And together, soon the whole world we become cleansed!" he said, the crowd roaring in agreement. Two chi blockers in the very back of the audience headed into the thicket of the Central Park's forest.
As the two went through the brush, they soon arrived at their destination, a rock, in the forest. One of the Equilists pushed their arms forward, the large rock pushed back, revealing a tunnel, the two entered the secret passageway and slid the rock back over the entrance. A few meters into the tunnel the Korra pulled off her mask, Hiccup was having some trouble with his, "Uh, little help?" he asked, pointing to his mask. Korra gave it a good tug and yanked the mask off, Hiccup brushed his hair back to normal, "Thanks. I still can't get how they're able to breath in those." he said taking the mask from Korra. She shook her head and smirked, "No idea, maybe your head's to big for it." she joked, Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Yea, yea. But lets no forget who's the brainchild out of the two of us." he said smiling, Korra groaned in annoyance, "Sorry, it's just what Hiroshi was saying, we're not running away. You know what, lets go back and teach him a lesson." she said abruptly turning and heading the other direction.
Hiccup grabbed her by the shoulder, "There's a difference between running away and being smart. And I know that you know this." he said trying to calm Korra, she sighed, "Yea, I know. It's just with all the crap that's happened...it's not right, with everything Amon's done, people still think he's a hero." she said crossing her arms. Hiccup began rubbing her shoulder, "Your right, but we can't change people's minds. But if we show people that Amon is wrong, then they'll see him for what he is." he said.
Korra took a breath and looked at him, "If we force them to change their minds, then we're no better than him." she said reassuring herself. Hiccup nodded, "Yea. Common we better get back before the others start to worry." he said, heading down the corridor, Korra fallowed suit.

The pair exited the passage to be greeted by their friends, "Any good news?" Mako asked, Hiccup raised his hands and tilted his hand side to side, "Ehhhhh, so so. The good news is that Iroh should be here by tomorrow, the bad news...well Amon is having a 'purification' tonight. So I say stay down here." he said walking towards the camp. Toothless bounded towards his rider with a antsy look on his face, Hiccup frowned, "Sorry bud, we can't go out tonight. It's dangerous." he said, patting his snout.
Korra looked at the sad reptile, "When was the last time he went flying." she asked, as the group began to make their way to 'dinner'. Hiccup shook his head, "About a week and a half. And he's not the only one who wants up in the air." he said, rubbing his eyes. Korra kissed him on the cheek and whispered, "Go and take him out, really quick flight, then come back. I'll save you some food." she said encouragingly, Hiccup looked at her and then Toothless, who had a very hopeful look in his deep green eyes, "Hell. Okay bud, quickly." he said, Korra smiled as the two made their way to the exit.
(Line)
Hiccup walked through entrance of the hideout, That was not a quick flight. he thought. He had been out for two hours and he knew that Korra would put him into the doghouse for sure. Looking in their area he saw all but one of them was asleep. Looking up she saw Hiccup with what appeared to be ash all over his face and cloths. Giggling she asked, "What the hell happened to you?" Hiccup sighed, "Toothless thought that celebration was in order, being cooped up all day isn't his favorite thing in the world." he explained, sitting down beside her.
Korra looked down, "I can't believe that a few months ago I was taking my firebending test. Now I'm in the middle of a all out war." Hiccup scooted closer, "I can't believe a few months ago I was diving into flaming buildings saving people." he said, Korra smirked, "Always the hero." he nudged her with his shoulder, "Back at you. Look I know that this isn't what you thought you'd be getting into when you got to the city, but I wouldn't want anyone else in the world by my side right now." he said, taking both of Korra's hands in his. She looked at Hiccup, "No matter what happens...I'm so grateful that I got to know you, and I wouldn't change that for anything in the universe." he said, the two drawing closer.
Korra smiled modestly, "Hiccup...I love you, more than words can describe. You've been there with me every step of the way. I would never have made it this far without you." she said, their lips where inches apart, "I know you guys love each other, but the rest of us are trying to sleep." the pair turned their heads to see a tired Bolin half awake. Hiccup sighed, "Well, that's a mood killer." he said. Korra fell back onto Naga and groaned, "When was the last time either of us had privacy?" she asked, frustrated. Hiccup thought for a minute, "Six days, eight hours, and twenty three minutes ago." Korra looked at him skeptically, "Not that I'm counting." he said jokingly, Korra smirked and sat up to face him directly, wrapping her arms around his she pulled his lips to meet hers, the kiss was full of passion, Hiccup wrapped his arms around her to pull the two bodies closer. He gently bit her lower lip, asking for permission to enter, she opened her mouth and let their tongues free. Hiccup had gotten better since they first started and put up a good fight for dominance. Korra smiled against his lips, he was covered in ash, smelled like a fireplace, and loved her, she wouldn't trade this for anything.
After a unknown amount of time passed, the two broke away, breathing heavily, "And now you have your fix." she said jokingly. Hiccup smiled and begun to rise before being pulled back down, "Oh no! Your staying right here." she said as she laid her head in the crook of his neck, Hiccup smiled, he knew from past experience that when Korra sets her mind, that she won't stop until she gets it. Pulling her blanket over the two of them, Korra was basically ontop of Hiccup when she stopped moving. "You comfy?" she asked, Hiccup was to nervous to say otherwise, "Y-Y-Yes?" Korra smirked, "Goodnight." she said before laying her head below his chin. "Yea, night."

Mako stood beside Hiccup searching the sea line for Iroh's ships, "So what's this guy like anyway?" Bolin asked, Hiccup smirked, "He's a good guy, he has a tendency to be blunt, but he's got a good head on his shoulders." Mako smiled, "Speaking of which." he said pointing to the horizon, the group could just see the outline of the fleet through the fog. Hiccup looked through the binoculars, scanning the shoreline he saw no sign of mechs, chi blockers, or anything, "I have a bad feeling about this." Hiccup said, "Yea, where's all of Amon's forces?" Mako asked.
Suddenly, the water by the ships erupted, "Mines!" Hiccup exclaimed, after a few more explosions the ships seemed to have detonated all the remaining traps. Until a buzzing was heard, "What's that?" Bolin asked. The sound grew louder, the five looked around the shoreline, seeing if the mechs where back, Toothless growled and looked into the sky, "What is it bud?" Hiccup asked, looking into the sky he saw.., "You have got to be kidding me." Hiccup said, the others looked up to see a squadron of airplanes headed towards the fleet, "Toothless, we're up." Hiccup said hopping on his dragon, flying into the sky, he came up behind them and began to shoot them down. Focusing on a target, Toothless shot out a plasma blast, hitting the wing, the ship fell from the sky. The others quickly scattered, the two went after a pair that stuck together. Toothless shot at one while Hiccup used firebending to take down the other.
The two managed to destroy almost all the ships, but wasn't fast enough to save the fleet. Toothless fired a few more shots to drive the remaining planes away and meet up with the others, landing, he saw that Korra managed to get Iroh out of the water. Running to check on Iroh, he was relived when he saw that the Lou wound was a burn on his shoulder, smirking the general said, "Nice shooting flyboy."
(Line)
"So, plan A is pretty much a bust, what's plan B?" Bolin asked as Korra healed Iroh, "Actually I think this is plan C." Hiccup said, tinkering with Toothless's saddle. "No matter what the plan is, Amon has been one step ahead of us since this started." Iroh thought for a moment, "Well, we're ginning to change that. We need to get a wire out to the second fleet, do we have any lines of communication?" he asked, Korra smiled, "I know just the man for the job." she said helping the man up. Hiccup waved them off, "You guys go on, I got to make a few adjustments to the saddle, I'll meet you guys." he said. As the others went off to send the message, Hiccup turned back to the saddle, last week, he snuck into his workshop and grabbed almost all his tools and went to work on upgrading his saddle.
He finally found a way to make Toothless fly on his own, the idea was that since he made the tail-fin automatically switch into the rest position, he could lock the fin in the sift position, that way when Toothless flexes his other tail-fin, the other will mimic the other. In theory it could work, he just needed to test it. "Come here bud, this should work." Hiccup said, locking the saddle across Toothless's chest. After fastening the fin into place, the moment of truth arrived, pulling leavers on both sides of the saddle back, he heard the locking mechanism click, "Alright bud, just go through the motions." he said, the dragon nodded and locked at his tail, waiting for the results, he started with the climbing motion. He twisted his fin down...and the other fin fallowed. Looking at his master, he saw shock, amazement, and joy cross his face, "YES! IT WORKS! WHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"Hiccup cheered, Toothless wasn't as thrilled, "Bud? What's wrong? You can fly on your own now." the dragon looked sad, he pressed his head into Hiccup's chest, "Bud...do...do think I want you to fly off?" he asked, Toothless wined, "That's crazy, I made this so that you'll be able fly without me, like if I need you to fly something to my mom if I'm busy or something. Besides, it only works if I want it to." he said, reassuring his friend. Toothless brightened up and 'gave' Hiccup some of his lunch, "Uhhhhhhh, no thanks I'm good."
(Line)
"So now that Bumi's fleet is safe, we need to take out those planes." Iroh said as he looked down at a map of Republic City. Hiccup pointed into the mountains, "This is where they flew to after me and Toothless took down some of them. They must have a base or something there, me and Toothless could do a fly over, take out the planes and then we move in and take the base." Iroh nodded. "That could work, we take that out, commander Bumi can move in. We'll strike tomorrow." he reasoned, Hiccup nodded in agreement. As they exited the tent, "Wait." Korra said from the back of the group, "I'm not joining you guys tomorrow, I'm going after Amon." Hiccup's eyes widened, "No. No way in hell are you facing him alone." Iroh agreed, "Facing him now isn't the smartest move." he said, Hiccup pointed to him, "Yea! Listen to the guy with badges on his uniform!" Korra shook her head, "I'm going after him, I am tired of running away from him." she said stubbornly. Hiccup shook his head, "Fine, but I'm coming with you." he said with equal amount of conviction in his voice. Mako shook his head, "We need you to pilot Toothless, if cant fly, we lose our advantage."
Hiccup smirked, "Actually, I've been working on that little problem for a while and I fixed it...sorta." he said, "Look, this is good, once he catches word that his airfield's toast, he'll send his men to try and take it back, then we'll strike, he won't see it coming." Hiccup reasoned. Iroh sighed in frustration, "Alright, we'll do this, but this is our only shot." he said.
(Line)
"You don't need to do this." Korra said, Hiccup was putting on his disguise, as was she, "Yes I do, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I'd let my girlfriend rush into unknown danger all alone?" he said, Korra rolled her eyes, "Hiccup, I love you to death. But I they need you more than I do. Toothless is only a dragon." Hiccup froze and covered his mouth, "Korra! He has ears like a badger mole! And he is just as smart as you or me." Korra rolled her eyes, "My point is, I'm the Avatar, and I can take care of myself." Hiccup grabbed his mask, "Your right, you can take care of yourself. But it's also both the Avatars' duty to bring peace to the world. Nice try though." he said pecking her on the cheek.
The pair made their way to the remaining group members, "You guys gonna be alright?" Korra asked, Mako nodded, "We'll be fine, watch yourselves alright?" he said. Hiccup nodded, "Sure thing, that goes double for you guys." he said shaking Mako's hand, Bolin gave them both a bear hug, "You guys kick some ass alright?" Korra laughed, "Sure thing Bolin, stay safe." Asami gave Korra a hug, "Keep him safe, or I'll hurt you." she said to Korra, she smiled, "Of course." Asami gave Hiccup a quick peck on the cheek. He expected Korra to try to deck her but was relived when she just rolled her eyes, "Keep yourself in one piece okay?" Hiccup smiled, "Yes mom." he said, earning a slug to the shoulder. Hiccup looked at his oldest friend, "Toothless. Stay safe, use your head. And do whatever they say alright?" the dragon cooed softly and locked Hiccup on the cheek. "I'll take that as a yes." he said whipping the drool off. And with that, Team Avatar went their separate ways, determined to take down Amon once and for all.

Using a air bubble to get to the island was the most covert way to get to the temple and also one of Korra's most creative ideas, "So now that we're here, where should we wait?" Hiccup asked, Korra thought for a moment before replying, "There's an attic in the main complex, we can hide their until he gets back." she said leading the way, before he could respond, they where stopped by a Chi Blocker, "Hey where are you two going? The rally is about to start." he said, thinking fast Korra responded, "The Lt. wanted us to do one final sweep of the island before we head off." either this was guy was the most gullible man ever, or he just didn't care. After they made their way to the attic, they opened the door to see someone they'd hope never see again, "Tarrlock!" Hiccup exclaimed, "Your alive! But...I'm sorry." Korra said, the man shook his head, "No. You where right, I'm no better than Amon." he said.
Hiccup always wanted to dance in circles and repetitively say he was wrong, but now seeing the man so depressed, it tugged at his heartstrings, in the pitiful sense, "Look I'm glad that you seen the error of your ways and all, but we need to know anything you can tell us about Amon." Tarrlock looked at the two, "I can give you something better, I know who he is." Korra grabbed hold of the bars in anticipation, "Who?" Tarrlock took a breath, "He's...my brother." the two gasped, neither of them had even heard of him having a brother.
As Tarrlock told the tale of Notack Hiccup saw the pieces put themselves together. He saw himself better than Yakkone, so he set out on his own, fallowing the path of his father, he sought to control the city from outside the law, whereas Tarrlock went to seek control through the council. When this was over, he was gonna have one long ass report to write. "So Amon's just bloodbending people, not taking their bending, and if we reveal him as a bender. Then we win this war." Korra said. Hiccup nodded, "Alright, we gotta plan, Korra you head to the rally, I'll get Tarrlock and-" "No. If I'm missing, they'll warn Amon and he won't show. I need to stay here." Hiccup wanted to argue, but found that it was the smartest route for now. "We'll get you out. I promise." Hiccup said before descending the staircase.
(Line)
"Am I the only one who thinks it's dumb to have a rally at a place that he destroyed months ago?" Hiccup asked as the two made their way into the balcony. Korra shrugged, "No one said he didn't have a ego." she said, smiling under her mask. After a few turns and stairs, they finally found a good vantage point to strike from.
After a few moments of waiting, Amon came onto the stage, the crowed roared as their 'savior' took the stage. "Greetings, citizens of Republic City." he said into the microphone, "As you all know, the United Forces attempted to retake the city. They failed. " the crowed roared again. "And now the Avatars have abandoned the city." Korra clenched the railing, "And tonight, you will all witness the equalization of whole race!" he announced, the floor slid away and revealed the airbending family in chains. "No! Sprits no!" Korra whispered, Hiccup needed to make a decision, move now, or later, and right now seemed like a good time. "AMON'S A FRUAD!" the crowd looked into the stands. The light shined on the two, "HE'S A WATERBENDER, AND A BLOODBENER!" Korra shouted, "It's true! Go and take off your mask if you all don't believe us!" Hiccup joined in.
The crowed began to murmur amongst themselves, soon they where chanting him to take it off, Hiccup turned to Korra, "Did we just turn this place into a gentleman's club?" Korra blushed red and quickly hit him in the shoulder. Amon pulled down his hood and took off his mask...revealing a scar across his eye and mouth. The crowed gasped and the airbender kids looked away, "Okay plan D is a failure, back to plan C." Hiccup said, putting on his gauntlets, Korra asked, "Which is?" he cracked his knuckles, "Kick his ass." he said before shooting a airblast a t Amon. He was knocked back by the force and into his guards.
Korra jumped onto the wall and used firebending to keep her suspended, Hiccup fallowed suit and provided covering fire, literally, while Korra undid Tenzin's restraints. Two chi blockers charged at Hiccup, he metalbent the floor, crushed it, and launched the shards at the chi blockers, wounding them drastically. Looking back he saw that the others where now free, sending a few more blasts in Amon's general direction, he ran to join the now freed prisoners.
Shutting the door behind him, he caught up to Tenzin, "You guys alright? Where's my mom?" he asked, Tenzin looked down, "When we left, they caught up to us quickly, she.." Hiccup's legs wanted to give out. His mom, Amon took her bending. His body began to shake, Jinora approached him slowly, "Hiccup...are you alright?" he clearly was mad, but she had never seen Hiccup so furious before, "Tenzin, take the kids and leave." Meelo fist pounded the air and shouted, "PRISON BREAK!" he said, running down the hall, his siblings fallowing, Tenzin sighed and chased after them, Korra put a hand on his shoulder, "Hicc-" "There they are!" the two turned to see Amon with some chi blockers, "Later, right now, I'm gonna bury this guy." Hiccup said, venom filling his words. The henchmen came down the hall first, Korra shot a wall of fire down the hallway, when the smile cleared, the chi blockers where out and the avatars had vanished.
Running into the gym, the two hid on opposite sides of the room. After what seemed like hours, Amon entered the gym, "I must say. I am fairly impressed, you found out my secret, and yet none of them believe you." he said walking around, "You'd be surprised on what we know...Notack." Korra said tauntingly, he stopped walking. "I haven't been called that in decades." he said, "If you come in quietly, we won't hurt you. You have my word." Hiccup said, moving behind Amon. He let out a laugh, "I'm surprised you still hold the law in such high regards Hiccup." Hiccup couldn't resist, he launched a air slice at Amon, who easily dogged it, and brought up his hand. Catching Hiccup in his grip, Shit! he thought. "NO!" Korra yelled, shooting fire at him, using water in a nearby container, he doused the flame.
Raising both his arms the two rose into the air, "Which one of you first?" he asked himself, "It's true." Amon turned to see the lieutenant at the door, "What the avatars said is true! I dedicated my life to you!" he said ripping off his mask and charged the liar. Thinking quickly, he swatted his arm at the man, sending him crashing into training equipment. Korra, now free, launched fire at Amon, knocking him off his feet. Hiccup dropped to the ground, thinking quickly, he let the water in his gauntlets out, made them into I've shards and fired them at Amon, aiming for his hands. Before they hit their mark, Amon raised his hands and stopped them in the air, Oh. Right. Waterbender, should have thought that through. Hiccup thought.
Korra could only watch in horror as Amon shot the shards back at Hiccup, he dived out of the way...but they still imbedded themselves into his left leg. Hiccup let out a cry of pain as he landed. Looking down he saw that the two shards he made, now became four smaller ones, all of which where in his foot and calf. The pain was like accidentally cutting your hand multiplied by fifty. All he could see was the blade in both sides of his leg.
A scream, a girl's scream, make him look up. Korra was kneeling before Amon, his thumb on her forehead, No...no no no no no. He thought. That was all he could think, the pain didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was that Korra was being hurt. And he was mad. He thought, he planned, and acted. He used earthbending to make a rick glove, then he used his good foot to airbend a pocket of air and launch himself at Amon, and punched that son of a bitch with the biggest punch he's ever thrown.
Unfortunately, he didn't plan on what he'd do after sending the two through the gym doors. He hit the wall with a loud tud, along with Amon beside him. Looking over, he saw that the mask had been cracked, raising his arm, he made a small earth brick rise and push him further down the hall. Then it was over, his adrenaline had exhausted, he felt nothing but pain in his leg, he couldn't move if he even wanted to. "HICCUP!" Korra shouted, limping to his side. She looked over to see Amon rising from the ground, "You...ngggggggh are going to pay for that." he said, Korra threw her arm, nothing, she raised her foot, nothing. "NO!" she said, throwing her fist out, releasing a blast of wind, knocking Amon back.
Korra looked down at her fist, "I can Airbend?" she looked at Amon, "I can Airbend!" she exclaimed. She threw more blasts at Amon, with each he went closer and closer to a window at the end of the hall. She threw the air at him with more force, more passion. She wanted him hurt, she wanted him in pain. She wanted him dead. Just as he was about to go out the window, he shot his hands forwards, capturing her once again in his bloodbending, Hiccup was barely awake, they where so close to ending this damn thing. Looking down at his leg, the ice remained, Fuck it. He drew his hand, the ice became water, his vision blurred, he looked at Amon, he made a fist, the water became a solid, he felt weak.
He saw his target...and he sent a water slice at Amon's leg, it hit home and sliced his leg up a good amount, An eye for a fucking eye asshole. Korra was free she sent a kick at him, he flew through the window. The last thing he heard before blacking out was Amon's scream as fell.
(Line)
Hiccup awoke to a blanket of furs covering his body, and a elderly woman looking iver him. "Your awake? That's...surprising." Hiccup knew he'd meet this woman somewhere before, taking a shot in the dark, he asked, "Nanna?" his voice coming out horse. The old woman smiled, "I can't believe you can remember that, you where so little when Toph and Lin showed up with you in their arms." Hiccup tried to sit up but was pushed back down by the woman. "You where hurt badly Hiccup, you need to rest." he shook his head, "Korra...she, she..." the woman nodded, "I know, I'm working on her now, she wanted you to be stable first." he nodded, "Don't worry, your friend hasn't left your side since you where brought here." Looking at the end of his bed, he saw Toothless trying his best not to bounce onto the bed. "Hiccup before I leave...you need to know that when you where brought here, your leg was..." Katara started, looking on the sheets he saw something wrong, there was a gap where his left foot should be.
Throwing off the blankets, he looked down to see his leg ended at the point jus below his kneecap. "The blades severed your joints throughout the lower part of your leg. We had to..." Hiccup had a look of shock go across his face, "Does...does everyone else..." Katara nodded, "I need you to rest up and regain your strength, alright?" he nodded and laid back down onto the bed.
(Line)
He couldn't stop looking at it, it was so surreal, it still felt like his leg was there, that was just phantom pain and he knew that, but he felt a strange sense of...pride. He and Korra fought Amon, and come back alive. The sound of a door opening brought his head up. It wasn't his but the one in the room over, hearing mumbling he slid himself to the edge of bed, Toothless walked over and offered himself to him, using him as a crutch, he hopped over to the door, "-I'm afraid the effects are irreversible, her Airbending is unblocked, but she can't do anything else." Hiccup sat himself onto Toothless.
Korra exited the room, she looked at all her friends and family, she needed out, she headed towards the door, grabbed her parka, and went out the door. Lin looked at the door, she knows what it was like losing something that close to her. She looked at the door to Hiccup's room, she stepped forward and opened the door. She hadn't expected to see a empty room. "Hiccup?!"
(Line)
"SPRITS IT IS FREEZING HERE!" Hiccup yelled as he rode Toothless. The two where fallowing Naga's tracks, he knew that Toothless was faster in the air than on the ground. After minutes of bouncing up and down on his dragon, he finally caught up to Korra. She was standing by the cliffs, with what looked like the apocalypse had happened at, with her eyes glowing. "Holy crap." Hiccup whispered to himself.
As the light died down, Korra was ecstatic, she cheered, laughed, and did a small cartwheel. After a few moments of what she thought was private celebrating, Hiccup couldn't keep himself silent anymore, "If you think I'm walking over there your wasting your time!" he soured, Korra stopped dead in her tracks and turned to see Hiccup leaning on Toothless's side. She sped over to him and hugged him as tight as she could, "What the hell are you doing, up out of bed?" she asked, her head buried in his neck. Hiccup grabbed the sides of her face, "I could care less about that, I love you." he said before smashing his lips onto hers, breaking away, Korra smiled and said, "I love you too."
(Line)
"Lin, you need to calm down." Tenzin said, Lin grabbed him by the collar of his robes and lifted him up, Oh dear. "CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN! MY SOM IS OUT IN THIS FROZEN TUNDRA WITHOUT A FOOT AND YOUR TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN!" she screamed, the two had been outside looking for the avatar for about ten minutes and with nothing to find, Lin was worried sick. Fortunately for Tenzin, Hiccup landed a few feet away from them, Korra had taken Naga and was just behind him, "Should we do something?" he asked, Korra shook her head, "Mo way, I wanna see if your mom can beat the crap out of Tenzin without bending." she said, he rolled his eyes, "Hey mom!" he yelled to the two stopped and looked at the teens, "WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN!"
(Line)
Katara was taking a final look at Hiccup's stump, "Your one of the best patients I've had in a while Hiccup." he smiled, "Thank you, master Katara." she waved him off, "None of that, your the Avatar, and basically family." she said. Unwrapping the last of the bandages, Hiccup actually got a chance to look at the damage, "Hmmm, not bad, not bad at all. Can you move it?" she asked, Hiccup nodded, the stump moved with little to no effort. "That us good, with luck you'll be on crutches in a few days." Hiccup smirked at that, "Katara, by the end of this month, I think I'll be walking without them." she raised a eye at this, "How so?" Hiccup gestured her in close and whispered something into her ear.
When she drew back, she had a look of surprise on her face, "That would work perfectly. I could have someone-" he raised his hands, "Thank you Katara, but all I need is the parts, I can draw up some plans. If you could have someone bring me the parts, I could put them together. But I want it to be a surprise." he said, the woman smiled. "Of course. Now get your rest." she ordered, he nodded, and laid down into the bed. "Korra should have your mother's bending restored shortly so I'll be back quickly." she said before exiting the room.
(Line)
Hiccup's eyes cracked open to see two blue eyes looking down at him. "Hey." he slowly sat up, "Hey yourself. Is my mom's bending back? " she nodded, "Yea, it's not as hard as you'd think." Hiccup tilted his head, "Okay maybe it was a bit challenging." she said in defeat, after a few moments of silence she finally asked, "So...how are you? I mean...how's your, your..." she struggled, "My stump?" he offered. She nodded her head slowly, "Yea, your...stump. How is it?" she asked softly. He shrugged, "It doesn't hurt or anything," he said, noticing her uncomfortably, "Look it's not even that bad looking. Come here, look." he said, pulling his sheet slowly looked down and saw it.
He was right, it didn't look deformed in any way. "Do you want to touch it? It won't hurt." Korra looked at him, then the stump, she slowly reached her hand out, but hesitated. Hiccup grasped her wrist and led her hand onto his stump. It felt smooth, it wasn't wired, maybe a little but she didn't mind, "It's like baby skin." she said to herself, Hiccup rolled his eyes, "That's what every guy wants to hear from his girlfriend." she smacked him in the arm, "Yea yea, lets see how you deal with the others. They've all been asking how your doing." she said getting on the bed and laying beside him. "I'll deal with that tomorrow, right now, I just want to lay here with you." he said, Korra rolled herself ontop of him and said, "I think I can do that." she said before locking their lips together.
As the two's lips moved against one another, Hiccup knew, that from here on out. They would be alright.
AN: Hooray! The first season is over! Now with Hiccup's secret project, Amon out of the game, and him and Korra closer than ever, what will happen next? I know, but you guys don't.
