Clar and Korra were setting in a bench in the Republic City police department. The trip to the police headquarters was not so swell in the beginning because Korra sort of got spooked by the officer telling them they were coming with them. And by being spooked, she tryed making a run for it by riding on Naga and sort of pushing down a few officers in her escape attempt. That was until Clar stopped with his suprisingly great strength and speed and calming her down. Now they were sitting and waiting until they were called in for questioning. Clar got another change of clothes to replace the outfit that he was wearing and had burned from the fire blast that firebender threw at him and Korra.

It was slightly awkward silence between the two, since they had questions to ask the other, but they felt that the police headquarters was too public to ask each other any questions. Clar knew that the only possible ways for Korra to be able to survive such a wave of fire without getting burned was; if she had enough water to block the blast, or if she was a firebender as well. She had no water with her and the heat from the fire made the air too dry for any water to be bended from the air. Clar knew that the only person who is capable of bending any more elements had to be the Avatar and it was logical to say that Korra might be the Avatar because just about the same years of the time of Korra's birth Avatar Aang was presummed dead. Although, Clar didn't want to jump to that as conclusion. Now Korra had only one question to ask Clar; how did he survivwe the fire and how did he not get any burns.

"You two, come with me."

An officer called to Clar and Korra, and led them to an interragation room where a late mid-aged woman in a metal bending armor that was just the same as the police officers.

"Have a set."

The woman had a very stern voice that showed proof of her long experiance in giving orders, so Clar and Korra oblieged to her command.

The woman looked into a file and started to read it out loud.

"The both may have been taken here for questioning, but vigilantism is still against the law. As for young lady you have been charged for resisting arrest, assult of an officer, property damage." After finishing that sentence she slammed the metal table which spooked Clar and Korra.

"You're in a whole miss of trouble young lady."

Clar had to say something.

"Those gangsters were torrment.." But he was interupted by the woman.

"Can it! The both of you should've called the police and stayed out of the way."

Then Korra spoke up, "But it's my duty to help people. You see..." She took a quick glance at Clar and then procceded, "I'm the Avatar."

Clar was a bit shocked, but wasn't so much because of the hypothises he came up with. The metal-bending female officer also didn't seem to be shocked either.

She said to Korra, "I'm well aware of who you are. And you're Avatar title may impress others, but not me."

'I wonder if she has forgotten about me being here as well," Clar asked himself.

"All right fine. May I talk to whoever is encharge here," Korra made a request.

"You're talking to her. I'm Chief Bei Fong."

"Wait Bei Fong. Lin Bei Fong?! You're Toph Bei Fong's daughter."

"What of it?"

"Why are you treating me like a criminal? Avatar Aang and your mother were friends."

"Thats ancient history, and its diddly squat to give reason what you're doing here. You can't just walk in and force vigilante justice like you own the place. And this goes for you too." She pointed to Clar at the last response.

'Oh she does know I'm still here.' Clar thought to himself.

"I don't want this city to look like Oth-Yen City with it's own nut jumping across rooftops," Chief Bei Fong commented.

Then a shaft from the side of the room opened up with an officer on the other side saying, "Chief, Councilman Tenzin is here to see the subject in your custudy."

Bei Fong gave out a sigh and allowed the one named Tenzin into the room.

Tenzin offered to pay bail for both Korra and Clar whom he already knew from the info he got was Korra's new friend who helped her. With that, Lin released Korra and Clar.

Tenzin had to stop at the front office of the police headquarters so that he may fill out the papers required for bail out. As they were waiting, Korra decided to make this the time to ask Clar how he was able to survive a such large blast of fire without being burned.

"Soo... You mind telling me how you were able to survuve a blast of fire that would've boiled up any other 'normal' person," Korra bluntly asked.

Clar didn't know how to answer, nor could he come up with a quick lie that well be logical for Korra to fall for. He was afraid if he told her the truth she may not understand it, or she might blurt it out to the world.

"Well? What's your secret? It can't be that hard to say unless you aren't from this world," Korra made retorical statement.

Clar looked at Korra with the look that said, 'You just answered your own question.' Korra caught on to the look. 'Wait... does he mean that... I... I was just joking,' Korra was trying to comprehend what he is trying to tell her. She didn't even know how to react, but she needed him to confirm.

"Are you saying that you... really aren't from this...," Korra couldn't even finish the sentance. There was no need to finish it because Clar gave her the answer with a desprete request, "Please. Don't tell anyone."

Korra looked into his eyes and thought for a moment if he was telling the truth. 'Even if was lying, what would be even more of a bigger secret than being a... i don't what you would call.' It was there that Korra accepted the fact that her new friend is an alien.

Clar saw Korra's eyes open even more wider, and barely noticed that she was just about to pass out. She was close to falling to the floor, until Clar was able to grab her.

-A FEW HOURS LATER-

Korra was opening her heavy eyes, and was trying adjust to the light that was shining out. Once they were adjusted, she was able to see that she was in a room with a lamp that was on the night stand right next to the bed she was in. She got up and looked outside to see Republic City on the other side of the bay in the night time. Korra realized that the only place that would have a perspective view of Republic City was Air Temple Island. She got up and walked out of the room and entered the hallway.

When she walked out, she saw Tenzin walking in the direction to her room. "Korra. You're awake," Tenzin proclaimed as he moved towards her in a caring way to see if she was alright.

"Hi Master Tenzin. What happend?"

"From what your friend Clar told me, you were feeling a bit drouwsy and you passed out."

Korra then remembered, Clar. "Where is Clar?"

"After he helped carry you here he had lift saying that he had other matters to attend to." Korra was a bit hurt that Clar didn't stay, but she realized that he may have been afraid of how she may react to his origin. Well technically she already did react to the truth, but he was more afraid of the aftermath.

"Did he say anything before he lift?"

Tenzin was a bit concerned about Korra's questioning of her friend, but he let it pass. "He did ask what was intended for you. I told him you would be going back to the South Pole, but after a long discussion about what you needed most and what the city needed he was able to convince me to change my mind." Korra was a bit hurt at the fact that Tenzin was planning on sending her back home, but was flatterd that Clar took the initiative to convince Tenzin to change his mind.

"He also requested that I tell you that he would hope to see you around."

Korra also hoped to see him soon as well.

Tenzin then told her that her airbending training well start the next day if that was fine with her and he told her that if she needed anything she could ask the air aoculets for assistance. Korra acknowledged Tenzin's anouncement, and walked up to the tower of the temple.

Once she got up there, she got an even better view of Republic City shining in the night. She wondered if there was a chance that Clar was still in Republic City and if he was she would like to tell him that he accepts who he is and isn't going to judge him for where he came from.

On the other side of the bay in Republic City in a newly rented apartment, Clar had just made organized his new home for the time being. The view that the apartment was able to provide showed the bay with boats and ferrys, Avatar Aang memorial statue, and Air Temple Island.

He knew that Korra was in Air Temple Island thanks to his reassurance and conversation with Tenzin. Clar hoped that Korra wouldn't tell anyone about his secret and that she wouldn't judge him for what he is. He gave out a sigh, and looked at the application he had picked up for a job opening. He read the label again, " The Daily Elements."

There was also something that came to mind during his first day in Republic City. He had noticed the crime rates had been rising and that this Anti-bending revolution was causing a stir. Whatever hope Republic City needed for such ruff times, he had to do something to deliver it to them.


There we go. If you didn't notice, I placed a little easter egg in this chapter to answer a question to some of the reviewer. (Thats right I'm talking to you Ashbringer36). The Avatar world may seem small, but it is still apart of the universe.
