Don't forget to check out We're friends, aren't we? that is on BG-13's page. We are both working real hard on that KorrAsami friendship story! R&R


Asami's POV

I just had to get out of there. I couldn't believe that I had been stupid enough to think that Mako and I could date and be together now that Korra was back. It had been very wrong of me to accept Oliver's offer to eat together knowing the 'history' we all had. I could tell he felt as much left out as I had when the two love birds started to talk as if they were the only one's there.

"Asami," the Firebender called going after me. "Why are you so upset?"

"Why did you have to tell Korra about me volunteering?" I replied too infuriated to even tell him the truth.

"You were supposed to talk to her-"

"Well I hadn't," I snapped.

"Okay, well I didn't realize it," he answered. "I was only trying to help. I've noticed you two don't hang out like you used -"

"No, you were trying to make Korra look better than me," I said cutting him off. "Typical Mako, always going after Korra. As if I needed a reminder that you still love her."

He furrowed his brow. "Asami, what are you-"

"It's all about you and Korra, it always has been," I continued, my voice a little lower but still firm. "That's not going to change."

"I don't look at Korra that way, I'm over her," he tried explaining.

I let out a scoff at this. He must think I was stupid. "Really? Because you seemed bothered by the fact that she is dating Oliver again."

His jaw clenched at this. "I don't like Oliver Queen," the Firebender replied. "You know that."

"Yeah because you still like Korra!" I replied. He didn't say anything at this and I knew I was right. I turned away and he grabbed my arm but I pulled away. "Don't touch me," I told him sharply. "Let's just stop while we still can, Mako," I added before leaving.


Helena's POV

I was through playing games. I had returned to Republic City with one mission: avenge my parent's murder. Zolt and my father were basically best friend's years back. He had even shielded me once during a rival mob attack when I was eight that almost cost him his life. And then…and then I don't know what happened.

He had told my dad he was going to leave him, try something new. My father wasn't too happy about that. He cared for Zolt like a brother. Oliver and I were engaged and he was going to pick me up later that night. Zolt came forward, holding his arms out to hug my father but before he left he turned around and fired a bolt right at my father's heart, killing him instantly.

That's how he got his nickname. He killed my mother next before coming after me. Somehow I had escaped. Somehow I had gotten away from him and went to my fiancé. Oliver had just returned from the island not too long ago and offered to teach me how to defend myself. I had accepted knowing that when I was trained well enough I would go after that bastard.

I left without telling him, wanting to him all of this mess, but Oliver being the man he was followed me here. He took the blame for my murders to protect me from the Avatar or Blue Spirit named Korra. I wasn't afraid of her and he knew that, but somehow he thought she would stop me. I had actually scoffed at that. No one would stop me.

These were my thoughts as I went inside the ex-Firebenders home, killing whoever got in my way. The fool made a run for it and I couldn't help but grin. He was going to make this much more entertaining. After finishing off his men I went outside and spotted him running. I aimed my crossbow at his leg and fired it. He let out a grunt before falling down and turning around to look at me.

He didn't know who I was though. My face was hidden behind a mask. I wanted to conceal my identity, let him wonder who was coming after him. He probably thought I'd run and never come back. He had been wrong. Dead wrong. I approached him, crossbow still pointed at him before I took off my mask revealing my face.

"Helena?" Zolt asked as he sat down, grabbing his leg. I nodded at this. "You were the one that was killing my men, you got the Monsoon's against me."

"Yes," I replied. "I had to take everything from you just like you took everything from me. Now you know how it feels when someone takes their entire world from them."

Zolt didn't say anything to that, just stared at me. I placed my hand on the trigger and aimed it to his heart. I was finally going to avenge my parent's death. Finally.

Just as I was about to pull the trigger a gust of wind knocked it out of my hand and I turned to find a figure wearing a Blue Mask starring at me. My eyes narrowed.

"This doesn't concern you," I said through my clenched teeth.

"It does when you're dropping bodies in my city," the muffled voice answered. "This isn't justice, Helena, it's revenge."

"Maybe to me they mean the same thing," I answered. "Now leave or I will kill you myself."

The masked figure readied itself and I took a step forward before an arrow blocked my path. I looked up and saw Oliver on a nearby tree. He climbed down and went towards us.

"Helena, we should go," he said. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't want to hurt you either, Olive," I answered. "Stay out of my way."

He shook his head at this and the Blue Spirit stepped forward before looking at him. "She had her chance," was all it said before punching forward.

I was knocked back by the gust of wind. I let out a growl as I sat back up, noticing that Oliver and her were fighting. I joined him, fighting the so called Spirit, but it was quick and precise and I could tell she was actually holding back.

"Helena!" I heard a voice call.

I turned to find Zolt standing, holding the crossbow before firing it. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. I could hear Oliver scream at this and I could see Zolt being pushed back by air. The arrow never hit me though. The Blue Spirit stepped in front of me catching it in her hand right before it pierced her own heart.

She walked over to Zolt, taking his hand before nailing to the dirt with the arrow in her hand, letting out a scream. I could hear the sirens from a distance and I knew I would not be allowed to have the revenge I deserved.

"Helena, are you alright?" Oliver asked making me look at him. I managed a nod.

"You were lucky," the Blue Spirit said speaking up. "That arrow could have killed you."

"Am I supposed to be grateful?" I asked bitterly.

"Look-"

"He's a monster," I said cutting her off. "A criminal. Why would you save him?"

"I didn't save him," she answered. "I saved Ollie, I saved you. You were so obsessed with your revenge that you didn't realize that you were turning your fiancé into a monster, a killing machine just like Zolt. He killed innocent people so that he would be framed. I did it for him."

I looked at Oliver who was looking at the ground, not meeting my gaze. It was true. He had gone on a killing spree so that I wouldn't get caught.

"You think that because you've killed you know what is like to have blood in your hands but you don't," the Spirit continued. "You don't understand the toll it take on you or those around you."

"I'm not going to stop," I replied. I wasn't. I'd make sure Oliver wasn't involved anymore but I wouldn't stopped until I killed Zolt.

"He is going to jail."

"They don't have any evidence on him!"

"They do now," she answered. I tilted my head to the side. "I have several confessions, photographs and witnesses that will testify against him. It's over. He's going away for the rest of his life. This, is justice."

"Then I guess you are right," I replied. "I want revenge more than justice. Stay out of my way Spirit. Or I'll make sure your secret doesn't stay secret," I added turning away from her.

"Helena," Oliver called.

"The engagement is off, Oliver," I said. "You don't have to worry about me. I don't want to corrupt you. Stay away and I promise to do the same," I told him before disappearing into the trees.

This was far from over. I would get my revenge. I didn't know how or when but I would.
