Thank BG-13!


Korra's POV

"Avatar!" a person yelled as they took off the bag over my head.

I blinked and looked around the room to find six masked people around me. I found Asami lying on the floor a few feet away from me. I clenched my jaw at this. Whatever these people wanted, they shouldn't have dragged her into this. My hands were tied behind me. I growled.

"Hello," the man said. "I'm going to ask you a question and you're going to answer me, got it?"

I didn't say a word.

"Have you ever talked to your past lives?" he asked. I didn't answer and he placed a glove over my shoulder before letting a current run through me. I clenched my jaw together, shutting my eyes tightly as I held back a yelp. "Did any of them tell you anything?" Again, I said nothing and he repeated the procedure.

Finally I nodded, panting from the current that had gone through me. "Yes, they did."

He nodded in approval. "What did they say?"

Slowly, I looked up to the man. "That I will win." They Equalists all began to laugh at this as if I had said the funniest joke ever, but I hadn't gotten the punch line.

"You're delusional," he replied. "You're tied up to that chair."

I held my hands up in front of me. "Not anymore." At that instant, they all began to attack me but I avoided all of their attacks, spiraling away from them, knocking them back and against each other. One tried to shock me but I pulled his arm behind him and made the current run through his own body. The others I easily knocked out and soon there was only one left.

He ran and I ran after him. From inside his jacket he took out an electric pistol, firing darts at me as I chased him. I moved out of the way, sidestepping and doing other moves to avoid his attacks. I was distracted for a second and one of the darts hit me, making me crumble to the floor, my body convulsing.

"Hey!" a man cried, running towards us. The Equalist grabbed a metal bar from the floor and waited till the citizen was closer before beating his head relentlessly. I tried to get up and help him, but the current had weakened me.

He walked over to me and raised the bloody metal, ready to do the same to me. I clenched my jaw and punched forward from where I was. The air came spiraling out of my fist knocking him back. He landed with a thud. I staggered to my feet and walked towards him.

"No," he said. "You-you had your Bending taken."

"Amon couldn't take what I hadn't mastered," I replied. He took out the dart gun again but with a flick of my wrist it was knocked away by the gust of air I commanded. I picked him up by his neck until his feet were dangling. My nails dug into the flesh of his neck and he winced, blood starting to trickle down his neck and onto his shirt.

"You killed that man."

"You don't have to do this," he managed to say, only for me to tighten my grip.

"No one can know my secret," I replied before popping several bones in his spinal column. I let his body slump to the floor and I allowed myself to lean against the wall. I had used all my strength on this guy and I was exhausted. Somehow, I got back over to where Asami lay before I crumbled to the floor, closing my eyes and letting the familiar and comforting oblivion come for me.


Lin's POV

Tenzin had called me to Air Temple Island shortly after that…girl had awakened. A few of my officers that had been on patrol had found her and her friend knocked out cold along with a group of masked men. I had wanted to start the interrogation right away but both witnesses were recovering from whatever had happened.

I stood in front of Korra, listening to what she was saying. To be honest I didn't believe her at all. She had been a pain in the a** five years ago. She spent several days in jail, and even that didn't keep her out of trouble. I hadn't even started to search for her until a week later. Then I had started a search party. I didn't have an interest in finding some snotty Avatar that thought their title meant everyone should bow down to her.

My assistant finished his sketch and I took a look at the picture before letting out a snort. This had to be a prank from the stupid girl.

"So that's your story?" I asked, amusement evident in my voice. "This…masked person flew in and singlehandedly took out six armed kidnappers." Both girls simply stared at me. "I mean, who is this person? Why would they do that?"

"I don't know," Korra replied. "Find him and you can ask."

I raised a brow and nodded before looking at her friend next to her on the bed. Katara had informed me she was in bed rest due to her injuries in the attack. I had sincerely answered that I didn't care and that I was doing my job.

"What about you?" The Sato heiress straightened, shrugging. "Did you see the person with the blue mask?"

"I saw…" she began trailing off, as if thinking about what she'd seen. She looked over to her friend before responding. "I just saw a lot of movement. Everything was blurry. I was kind of out of it."

I let out a small snort before shaking my head. "It's funny how you've only been back one day and someone's already after you. Aren't you popular?"

She didn't reply to me.

"Were you able to figure out who was behind all of this?" Senna asked.

"New and untraceable weapons, unknown faces; these people were professionals," I replied. "They were probably hoping to get a ransom for your little Avatar." Both of the girl's parents clenched their jaws at this. "After all, people would do anything to keep their loved ones safe."

The girl fisted the sheets around her at the insinuation. Of course she knew I was referring to Mako's little brother. The primary reason I had begun my search had been because one my current Assistant Chief, Mako. He had come to me, begging that I'd find his brother. It had been a terrible loss; I could see how much it had affected him to lose his brother, even now.

"I don't find your tone appropriate, Chief Bei Fong," Tonraq replied as calmly as he could.

"If my daughter can think of anything else, we'lll give you a call," Senna added.

I nodded and walked over to the door. I stopped and turned around to look at Korra, whose gaze hadn't left me. "Your luck never seems to run out, does it?" And with that, I left.
