Kei

After a couple hours of being trapped in the table I decided it was time I made my escape. Taking a deep breath and focusing my chi into my wrists and arms I watched as the cuffs of metal turn an ember red as the metal starts to heat up. I had to be careful as I burned my way out of the cuffs so that I didn't burn my hands or alert the guards outside my cell. Within a few minutes my fire had made the cuffs soft enough to slip my hands out.

"Alright step one get out of cuffs, now all that leaves is to overpower the guards and get far enough away from people so I don't leave any more bodies in the streets."

I take a long look around the room for an air vent or something as I rub my wrists and stretch out my hands.

"Guess I'll have to take the direct path then."

Just as I was gathering more chi for a direct lighting blast at the door I hear the guard's conversation outside

"Can't believe we have to watch this kid."

"I know, but what can you do Chief told us not to let him out of the cell until she told us."

For a brief moment I feel sorry that I was about to ruin their day by escaping and probably beating them up so I let them air out their grief before I beat them senseless.

"I joined the force to stop criminals not babysit, I mean I could be out there stopping Amon or busting a group of equalists but no I'm stuck here.

"Hey I heard Amon and his terrorists destroyed a village a while back and now he declares he'll rid the world of benders starting with Zolt and his gang."

My heart stops for a moment as a memory burns its way to the surface. A man in a mask leading the charge as the villagers run screaming and I run into the forest.

"Finally… I've waited six years for my chance to kill this man and now he's in the city… I'll show him how much of a monster I can be."

Bang

Bang

"Hey! Keep it down in there"

The noises snaps me from my thoughts long enough for me remember step two of my plan.

"Right… I was escaping"

I take two steps back and focus before charging the door with a black blast of fire causing it to explode outward. Before the guards have a chance to figure out what was going on my fist rocketed into their stomachs leaving them breathless as I snatched their necks and slammed them into the wall.

"Nothing personal but I have things to do and people to murder. Tell the chief not to come after me okay."

I took their silences to mean they got the message…or that they were out cold which worked to. Hearing the running feet of more officers I decide to buy myself some time so as I run down the opposite hall I sent blasts of fire into every room I passed really hoping nobody was inside as I did this. After a few more turns I found myself at the door to the supply room which was filled with cuffs and confiscated clothes and other items. After looking down at the tattered and still bloody pants of mine I decided I should defiantly put something on that doesn't make me look like some butcher. Deciding on a pair of black pants and a loose fitting white shirt I pull on a black trench coat and a black hat with the fire nation symbol on the front I light up my pants and throwing it into the rest of the clothes before making my to the front doors where officers are rushing everywhere trying to put out the fires and suppressing the other inmates that had stated a riot during my escape. Keeping my head down and faking a few coughs I manage to pass as someone who just got caught up in the fire. The moment I make it out of the building and far enough away a crazed at the realization that not only did I just escaped from the police headquarters but I had all but burned it to the ground.

"Well let's see, Chief Bei Fong already has me down for murder, assault on the avatar and now arson, evading polices custody, theft of police property and she'll no doubt blame me for the riot as well." Letting out a sigh I realize that I literally made my bad situation worse

"Guess I've run out of options then got to make a deal to save my hide."

Navigating the back allies of the city I make my way to a place I thought I would never go and stop in front of the door marked with the Triads mark before knocking three times and waiting for the slot in the door to open.

"Yeah what do you want?"

"I hear your boss has been targeted by Amon I've come to lend my services that is if his offer to join still stands."

The slot slides closed before the door opens and the man extends his hand into the building.

"Right this way to the boss"

Korra

My injuries were healing pretty quickly to the amazement of the doctors and nurses. Asami had fallen asleep in the chair next to me some time last night and woke with a start during my little nightmare. Now she was outside talking with the doctor about something while I did my best to stomach the hospital food before me.

The door opens and Asami walks in with a smile on her face.

"What did the doctor say?" I say poking at what I believe was a stake.

"They say that your leg should take a week to heal but your other injuries aren't as serious as they were so they decided to let you leave today."

"Really!? Then let's get the hell out of here then." Hearing her say this I launch out of bed and start to the door.

"Oh no you don't the doctor went to get the papers so just wait awhile alright." I nod as she starts to gather up my clothes and then opens the window to let some fresh air.

When she does a horrible burning odor fills the air, like ash and smoke. The smell of fire never really bothered me but this smell was so intense it nearly caused me to black out.

"Korra are you okay?"

"… How can you stand that smell? It's so damn strong"

A look of confusion comes to her face as she sniffs the air before returning her gaze to me.

"Korra I don't smell a thing are you sure you're alright?"

"…Yeah I probably just need some more sleep is all."

But my sense of smell was way above normal.
