Mako's POV

I'd lost track of time at the Police Station. It was nearly three o'clock in the morning when I got home and I was completely drained. This made me happy that today would be my day off. My plans for the day: sleep. I arrived home and flipped the light switch. Nothing happened.

I frowned and went to check out the electric box. My eyes narrowed when I found the hatch open. A flame appeared in my hand and the glow cast a shadow on the outline of an all too familiar figure.

"Mako," the masked vigilante said with a nod. Its dao blades glinted wickedly in the light.

"Dont move," I growled as the creature took a step closer to me. The Blue Spirit sheathed the blades and put its hands up, showing me its empty palms.

"I mean no harm."

"I'm a cop, a cop with orders to catch you by whatever means necessary," I told it. I wasn't lying. I believe Bei Fong's exact words had been "shoot to kill." "You're making a mistake by being here."

"I'm not the monster you think I am," it replied. "I need your help. Lee, the man accused of murdering Kai, he's about to go on trial for a crime he didn't commit."

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked. "I'm not a lawyer."

"No, you're not," the Blue Spirit agreed. "You're a cop. You can help prove that man's innocence. Get Councilman Tenzin to take his case."

I relaxed my posture slightly, still ready to defend if this thing tried anything funny. "Why me?"

The masked figure stepped closer, cautiously, carefully. "We're both trying to help this city."

I should've already had this thing in cuffs and to the Station. I knew what the Chief would've done. But I had to admit, my curiosity was peaked. And if Lee was as innocent as this thing claimed, then it was worth a look into. "What makes you think I'll help you?"

"Because we both know you won't send an innocent man to jail," the muffled voice replied before turning away and leaving through the window. I went over to my window to shut it, only to notice that the vigilante had already disappeared into the night.

I sighed. I didn't believe in working outside the law...but as much as I hated to admit it, the Blue Spirit was right. I didn't want anyone to die or go to prison for something they didn't do. I shook my head. So much for my day off.

Howl's POV

I wondered around the city shortly after the Avatar had revealed who she was and what she did. I went to the park and tried to put all my thoughts together. I didn't know what to think, what to feel. It was just so…difficult to believe that my father was never coming back. Early morning came and I went to Narook's where my sister worked at. She served me coffee and sat down in front of me.

"So when are you going to tell me?" Carly asked.

"Tell you what?"

"What happened?" I didn't say anything; I just simply lowered my gaze. "I knew that Avatar was nothing but trouble," she muttered.

I raised a brow at this. "What makes you think she has anything to do with it?"

It was her turn to raise a brow. "Because she's here," Carly replied gesturing towards a very familiar Avatar who was coming my way.

"Hello, Howl's sister, Carly," my client greeted. "I'm Korra, the Avatar."

My sister smiled and shook hands with her. "I already know who you are," Carly said slightly narrowing her eyes.

"No," I interjected. "You really don't."

Carly threw a small smile towards me before leaving us. Korra sat down in front of me and we stayed in awkward silence for some time, until she spoke.

"Hello Howl," she greeted. "Have you reconsidered my offer?"

I let out a mock laugh. "Offer?" I asked. "That's another way to put it."

"It is an offer," she continued. "It's the chance to do the kind of good that compelled you to join the White Lotus."

"Please," I scoffed. "You wore born with a dynasty before you and ahead. You spend five years in prison with no room service and all of the sudden you feel like one of us?"

The girl sighed and dug into her pocket and pulled out a small journal opening it to the last few pages which had a list of names. "Your father wrote those down," she stated. "He gave it to me before he died and I escaped."

"Wait," I said. "I thought you said he didn't make it. As in he died on that island."

She shook her head slightly. "We were on a boat," Korra began her voice low. "They were trailing us, he knew we would get captured and he was injured. He threw me off the boat before they caught up to us and went back to them. I saw them kill him." I straightened at this. "As much as he did it for me to survive, he also did it to give me a second chance, to right my wrongs. And I'm offering you a chance to right the wrongs done to you."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Aren't you the least bit curious who killed your father?" she questioned. I managed to give her a nod. "Amon. He went on that boat and struck a dagger through him before cutting his throat." I could hear the pain in her voice as she gave me the details. "I need to take him down."

"Are you telling me that equalist leader is responsible for my father's death?"

Korra nodded. "I'm giving you the chance," she repeated. "A chance to help other people's families. Do you remember when the people of this city used to help each other? They can't do that anymore because a group of people, people like the person I used to be, they see nothing wrong with raising themselves up by stepping on other people's throats. It needs to stop and if it's not going to be the courts and it's not going to be the cops, then it's going to be me."

I didn't say anything. I just simply stared at her, taking in her words. She stood up after a while. "And I hope it's going to be you too," the Avatar added before leaving.

Tenzin's POV

I had just ended a council meeting when I saw a very familiar Firebender approach me. I raised a brow at this. The young officer asked if he could speak to me in private and I agreed, taking him inside the council room so we could talk once inside I saw his facial expression and I could tell he was trying to figure out a way to tell me what he wanted to in the best way.

"I need your help," he finally said.

I raised a brow again. "With what?"

The young man rubbed the back of his neck. "You see there's this…guy who is being prosecuted for murder and well I think he might be innocent."

I nodded thoughtfully. "Does Lin know you're here?"

He shook his head. "No, she doesn't. She's sort of convinced she has the right man, but…I don't know, something just doesn't add up."

"So what you want is for me to represent him, meanwhile you gather evidence to prove his innocence." Mako nodded. I stroked my beard thoughtfully. It had been a long time since I had represent anyone, the last person being Korra when she tore down the bending arena, but I couldn't let an innocent man go to jail.

"Will you help me?"

I stood up and nodded. "I'll need at the files of the case so I can see what I can do."

Mako smiled. "Thank you."
