Howl's POV

Korra was really, really, REALLY pissing me off. First she goes out on a date with him and doesn't even tell me, then she actually defends his actions and then she leaves on patrol and doesn't come back. I got tired of waiting for her and went to the island to see if she had gone there but as usual, her bed was empty. I went back around midday to see if she was back on the training grounds and to my surprise she was. The young avatar was on her hands, legs above her while she did pushups.

"I don't know when the next Olympics are," I began. "But you might want to think about signing yourself up." She didn't say anything just continued with her exercise. "So you want to talk about last night?"

Korra stopped but didn't say a word as she lowered her legs and stood up.

"Okay," I said. "Last time you and I spoke, you were on your way to stop Oliver Queen from starting a mob war. How did that work out for you?" She still didn't say a word as she started to practice her airbending moves. I pulled out a newspaper, reading the headline. "Nick, Lightning Bolt Zolt's right hand man, was found with an arrow in his heart along with some of his thugs. Was that him or you?"

The Avatar finally stopped her movement, still avoiding my gaze before answering. "I was with Ollie when Zolt's men attacked us. We didn't have a choice," she answered moving to do chin-ups.

I blinked several times at this. Was she out of her mind? "We?" I asked.

"He knows about me," Korra answered. "It's my secret, I chose who to share it with."

"It's not just your secret anymore, Korra," I snapped clearly infuriated. "And this guy is a killer; he's been dropping bodies all over the city."

She actually let out a growl turning around to face me. "He's not what you think he is," Korra answered defensively. "A year ago he had a fiancé and she disappeared. She was the daughter of the Red Monsoon's leader and he suspects that the Triad's had her murdered and her family."

"Did he tell you that?" I asked.

"No," she admitted. "I've been doing some research. He was dating Helena, June's and Frank's daughter. She disappeared and that's when his alter ego came out."

"It's hard what he's going through," I agreed. "But that doesn't change the fact that he's dangerous and if Zolt retaliates against the Monsoon's because he thinks it's them going against the Triad's it will be war and innocent people are going to be killed."

"He's lost, Howl," Korra said doing a chin-up. "Whether he knows it or not, I can save him, stop him from doing anything reckless."

"That's the thing, Korra," I said. "You can't save him, some people don't change."

"He can," she countered. "I can help him."

I shook my head. This girl wasn't listening. "Maybe you think you are more persuasive than you are, or maybe he thinks he's right in his mission of righteousness fury, whatever it is, either way all of this," I began. "It ends badly."

"Either way," Korra answered putting on her sweater. "I've got to try."

I shook my head as she walked out of the training grounds. He was getting to her and she didn't even know it.

Oliver's POV

I had to find Korra. I had to apologize for how I had acted last night. I hadn't known about the scars. I had heard that she had spent five years at the Boiling Rock but I didn't know what they had done to her there. What that monster, had done to her there. I saw her arrive at the docks on the ferry and I immediately went towards her. She glanced at me and narrowed her eyes before walking away. I sighed and followed her.

"Korra," I called.

The young Avatar turned around and faced me. "Did I not make myself clear, Ollie?" she asked. "I don't want to have anything to do with you."

"I'm sorry," I said. I meant it, I was. "Please, give me another chance, for old time's sake?"

Korra looked me over before sighing. "Follow me."

I tilted my head but did as I was told. She bought a white rose and we were on our way. It wasn't long before I realized where we were going. We entered the graveyard in silence and I followed quietly till we stopped in front of a tomb. She placed the flower there before backing away.

"Who was he?" I asked quietly.

"Somebody I knew a long time ago," Korra answered something odd in her voice. "I-I wanted to hear what Amon's big revelation was. It was dangerous but back then…I didn't care about consequences. I was excellent at screwing things up though."

She stopped there and swallowed thickly as if trying to get rid of a knot on her throat. I could already tell what direction this was taking.

"I took him with me to the underground rally, and we were captured," she continued. "Amon brought us on a boat that was heading to the Boiling Rock and he killed him, right in front of me." Her voice slightly cracked at this. "I-I hurt Mako, his only family…I just didn't care."

"Korra," I began gently taking her hand in mine.
"Before that prison, I wasn't a good person," Korra said quietly. "I was selfish, thoughtless, and awful, and it affected, really affected people. People I loved." She turned to look at me. "Ollie, you're in a prison too."

"Korra, I want to let you in," I answered. "But I can't. I don't want to hurt again."

The dark skinned girl shook her head. "I would never hurt you, I promise," she said.

I sighed and nodded. "Okay, where are you going to take me?"

She grinned at this. "Headquarters."

Korra's POV

I had to save Ollie. I couldn't believe that he had become this cold blooded person who would kill people. Even back when we were teenagers he never expressed violence in any way. But then again, back then he hadn't been stuck on an island for two years. He had changed and he was right, I had changed too. I gave him a small tour of my headquarters, teaching him an Airbending move or two. We actually sparred for a bit and he wasn't bad after all.

"Our crusades have something in common," I began sitting next to him. "They both began with someone's death. My former master, Howl Sr., left me a list of all the people that need to be reminded that Republic City is not theirs for the taking."

I handed him the little notebook I carried around with a list of names and he took a quick look over it. He frowned and I waited for him to say what was on his mind. "Zolt is here," Ollie said.

I nodded. I heard steps and I looked up to find Howl walking towards us. He stopped and crossed his arms in front of his chest, he wasn't happy at all.

"Howl this is Ollie," I said introducing them. "Howl is my…partner."

"Well any partner of Korra is-" he began.

"Nothing to you," Howl finished dryly.

Ollie gave him a small smile before turning towards me. "I'll leave you two alone," the archer said. "I'll see you at the Gala later."

I smiled at him and nodded. Once he was out the door Howl walked over to me, anger visible in his amber eyes. "He knows my name, that's lovely," he began.

"You can trust him," I replied.

"Except I don't," Howl answered. "Are you sleeping with this guy, Korra?"

I narrowed my eyes. How could he? "I don't think that's any of your business, Howl."

"It became my business when you brought me into this," the sentry countered. "When I signed on I told you I was going to keep your head straight but Korra, you're lonely. More lonely than you want to admit and that's why you think you can change him because you need to think you can."

"You don't-"

"Korra what you do is dangerous," he said cutting me off. "And getting confused about who's good and who's bad is a good way to get yourself killed."

I shook my head. "You done?" I asked coldly.

"Yeah, I'm done," Howl answered making his way to the door. "I'm done with this. Everything else…I don't know, you tell me."

With those words he left. I sighed and looked back at my training grounds. I knew Ollie wouldn't rat me out, I mean…I had only brought him to my hideout because I knew his but…he didn't know that. I shook my head and grabbed my stuff before going back to the island; I had a Gala to get ready for.
