Since her father was sent to prison for working and carrying out Equalist plans, Future Industries was in financial trouble. Shares decreased in price and employees, including Asami had to take major pay cuts. But Asami's was not ruined just yet. Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne, the wealthy CEO of Wayne Enterprises had agreed to a business deal with Future Industries. He was due to arrive in Republic City in a few days.
"That's great Asami," Bolin reacted to the news. Asami has invited her friends over to tell them the good news.
"I know, it's a real miracle," Asami said taking a seat. She saw Korra with a disgruntled look on her face. "What's wrong Korra?"
"I've been following the news on this Bruce Wayne guy," Korra began. "I hear he's nothing but Fire Nation trash. Rich, spoiled and care free."
"Maybe but this could be a real life saver for my company," Asami explained.
A few days later. Bruce's personal yacht arrived in Republic City. Asami and her friends were there to greet him. Korra was trying her best to act happy but it was clearly visible that she did not want to be there. Asami was eager to meet her new buisness partner but was able to contain her excitement over it. Mako had to work that day but his job was to be part of security. Bolin on the over hand was oozing with excitement over the event.
"This is so exciting!" he chanted. "We get to meet Wayne, Bruce Wayne himself."
"I still don't see what the fuss with him is," Korra blurted out. Eyes were all on Korra. "I mean, there are plenty of rich guys around the world, what makes this guy so special?"
Just then the hatch on Wayne's yacht opened up. Reporters and photographers lit up the scene trying to get an interview, a statement or photograph.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne!" Reporters yelled out trying to get a statement, a sentence, a line, anything. Korra looked up and saw Bruce Wayne with her own eyes. He opinion of the famous billionaire began to change in a matter of seconds. Bruce wore a slick black suit with a red tie. His face looked like something out of art gallery. He was the text book definition of gorgeous. Bruce walked right through the line of press not giving a care in the world. He was walking in the direction of Asami, Bolin and Korra. Korra started fixing her hair.
"Bolin how do I look?" Korra asked nervously.
"Fine as always," Bolin reassured. "Why do you care so much anyw- oh, OH! I get it. You're having a change of heart aren't you?"
"Noo, no," Korra blushed. "I just.. want to look presentable to him. I mean he is rich, incredible smart, I'm sure he is a great person when you get to meet him and... standing right behind me isn't he?"
A sudden feeling took over Korra like some incredibly force was standing right behind her.
"Please, tell me more," the booming voice of Bruce Wayne spoke behind her. Korra let out a light squeel and airbended herself in the air and turned herself around.
"Mr. Wayne!" Korra exclaimed.
"It is an honor to meet you Avatar Korra," Bruce greeted giving the Fire Nation salute. Korra returned the salute. Bruce looked behind Korra to see his business partner. You must be miss Asami Sato."
Asami gave the fire nation salute but instead of Bruce returning the salute he took Asami's hand and planted a kiss on it. Asami was taken by surprise by the action. Korra looked in envy but Bolin was able to calm her down.
"I look forward to working with you Ms. Sato," Bruce said. His voice had this tone to it that felt so alluring yet haunting at the same time. He very presence had this gravitational effect. Everyone and anyone could be drawn into him.
"Mr. Wayne your car has arrived," Wayne's assistant spoke out as she opened the door.
"Shall we?" Bruce asked gesturing to his car.
"Oh, but or business meetings are not until tomorrow," Asami said with a nervous tone.
"I was not referring to our business," Bruce reassured. "I was hoping you could show me the city and perhaps I could treat you to dinner later on."
Asami blushed at the thought. She would regret it forever if she said no.
"Yes, I would love to," Asami said as she and Bruce linked arms and took to the car. Back with Korra Bolin decided to take comedic advantage of the situation.
"Don't worry Korra, you still have Mako," Bolin said in his sly tone. Korra snapped back to reality.
"Ya that's true I guess," Korra admitted. "But seriously, how long did those two look at one another before they hit it off."
"I don't know," Bolin said.
Elsewhere. In the car with Bruce and Asami, the two were going sightseeing. They would drive up to various sight around the city and Asami would explain.
"And this is the factory for Future Industries Sato Mobiles," Asami pointed. Bruce took a good look at the factory. He quickly noticed that it was a slight state of disrepair. "Since my father was sent to prison, things have not exactly panned out well. For me and my employees."
Bruce walked over to Asami. He held up her right hand hand with his own.
"Don't worry Asami," Bruce said with a reassuring tone. "I'll help you get your company back on its own feet."
Asami smiled at Bruce.
"Now come," he directed. "We have dinner to attend to."
