When I saw Korra hugging the young man, I don't know what overcame me, but I just lost all sense. "Korra, why are you hugging this boy?"

Korra gently pulled away from the Firenation boy and glared at me with her icy eyes. A scowl arose on her features. Her dark eyebrows knitted together. "Why do you want to know?"

Her tongue was sharp. This was a drastic character change for the young girl. She brought her face close to my face. She didn't quite reach my height, but she still was intimidating. She stood her ground not backing down when my face grew cold.

"Korra, you must focus on your training. You do not need to be getting involved with boys."

Her eyes narrowed. "Tenzin, my love life is none of your business. I will not let any romance that I may or may not have with him interrupt my Avatar training."

The boy's eyes darted back and forth between the two of us then he raise up his hands in defeat. "Hey, Korra I can tell that you have some stuff of your plate. I will be going now, Kay? Catch you around." He waved to Korra and walked away with a cool stature.

Korra tried to run after him, but I caught her by her elbow and pulled her away. She looked at me with an enraged look. "Let's go young lady. We need to go back and resume your training."

She pulled her arm away and scoffed, "Yeah, you are not the boss of me."

"Yes, while you are under my care you have to listen to me. For the time being I am your guardian," I said with a roll of my eyes. I am at my wit's end with this girl.

As Korra unwillingly came with me back to the island we resumed her training. I worked her hard, it was physically tedious, but I had my reasons for doing it. Korra complied with all of my demands. We did not talk much through the instructions.

At the end of the day Korra was exhausted. She fell asleep at the table while eating dinner even though it was only 5:30. As I carried the young Waterbender back to her room in the Women's dorms, I gazed at her beauty and shook my head.

"You are such a wild girl," I whispered to myself as I placed her in her bed and kissed her forehead and left the room.


I flew my glider over to Republic City Hall. Then in front of the statue of her mother I saw the young Lin waiting for me. She was dressed in her police uniform as always. Her eyes lit up when she saw me.

I walked up the steps as Lin came down and greeted me. "Hello, Tenzin glad of you to come." Her green eyes glinted with a hint of happiness behind a cool façade.

I gave a slight nod to my head. "Yes, well let's go to Kwan's Diner for dinner." I held out a hand for her to take as I escorted her to the restaurant. She gently took a loose hold of my hand.

"Kwan's isn't that a bit fancy and expensive," Lin asked question in her voice.

I tilted my head from one side to another as if to ponder her question. "Lin, my dear don't think about that now, ok? I am the one who came up with the idea to do dinner so I will take care of everything."

Lin gave me a skeptical look. She was not used to me being like this. I do not blame her. I am acting this way for a reason. Reasons not even I am sure of.

When we arrived in Kwan's the host noticed us immediately. "Master Tenzin, Chief Beifong how nice of you to join us. Please follow me to your table. We were quickly seated in the back of the restaurant.

"So Lin, if I may ask I was wondering why you were so eager to ask me out. On a personal level I mean."

"I uh," she looked down embarrassed, "well I really like you Tenzin and I was hoping that we could become an item. I know that it is unprofessional for two people who work closely together to date on another, but I don't know. I just couldn't help myself."

I eyed her with curiosity. This was something I never seen Lin do- put her in such a vulnerable position. Then just as I was going to say something, the spirit whispered something into my ear. Its amused voice filled my brain with its voice.

"Don't say anything that will allow her to be physically involved with you."

"Lin I-"I was cut off by a screaming.

"Councilman Tenzin, Councilman Tenzin it's the Avatar something is wrong with her." It was one of policemen who came running.

"What is wrong with her?" I asked I stood up completely forgetting what I was about to say.

"She came into town by swimming across Yue Bay and she was just in the Avatar stare. She is going out of control she is destroying downtown. You have to control her!"

I ran out own Kwan's which was centered in the middle of downtown and found what the policeman said to be true. Korra was in her Avatar state. The air around her created a vortex. Her hair came loose from its ponytail as it whipped around her face.

She was uprooting the stone steps and blowing fire everywhere. I ran up to Korra calling her name. "Korra, Korra you need to calm down."

She turned her head in my direction. Her bared her teeth at me and snarled. Then tears started to stream from her glowing white eyes. "What do you want?" Her voice was deep is distorted.

"Korra, I am here. Please calm down and tell me what is wrong." The vortex of wind grew stronger.

"You it's your entirely fault, you went out with her. You worked me to death in training." She shook her head as she took a few aggressive steps forward.

I took a few toward her, holding up my hands in surrender. "Korra, why are you so upset, I only disciplined you and going out with Beifong was strictly professional."

"Then why are you in Kwan's Diner? It looks more a date." Even more tears coated her dark face. The glow from her eyes showed that.

I took a gentle step forward and enveloped her into a hug. The winds grew stronger. She stared at me with a distraught voice. Then she mouths some words that I didn't understand. Then a silver tear slipped down her chin.

I cupped her chin in my hand and pressed my lips against hers. I felt the winds calm down. She gently pulled away and opened her eyes; they still retained a soft white glow. Her voice was still deep and distorted, but was reverting back to her real voice.

"You truly are her soul mate." That's when I realized that a spirit had taken control of Korra in her weakened state. They were possibly testing me, I don't know the reasoning behind it, but I couldn't think about that now.

Korra collapsed into my arms. I carried her cradling her against my chest back to the island. . .
