Fix It
Kuvira woke as she was pulled on. "Oh good your awake." Su was looking down on her. She wince as she registered the pain in the back of her head.
"What is going on?" She asked glaring at the older woman.
"I'm arresting you. You didn't think I would just ban you from city and that's that. It's a crime to do what you did and somehow people are overlooking it." Su said throwing up her hands.
"So you attacked me?" Kuvira asked careful not to move her head so much.
"We knocked you out that's all. We didn't want you giving us any trouble." Su said pointing to her group of guards.
"I would have just came with you. You didn't have to tear up Lin's place." Kuvira said letting her head hang.
Su growled "We did not wreck anything. I've got to go and take care of some things. My guards are going to watch over you until I get back." Su said heading to the door. Kuvira sighed when she left. "Now that she's gone we can get down to business."
Kuvira cursed when she recognized the voice. "Zento." She growled.
He punched her in the stomach. A smile spread across his face as he watched her cough and gasp for air. "That's Captain Zento to you. After you left boss finally gave me the promotion she should have given me a long time ago. It's pretty great without you around." He leaned down pulling her face up by her hair. "But the best part is that we get top spend all night together."
Lin had called everyone and team avatar had searched the streets. She was currently pacing her floor.
"I'll get it." Kya said when the phone ringed. Lin stopped pacing and watched her with a hopeful look. "Raiko?" Kya said confused as she answered the phone.
"I think the two of you should get down to my office. Like right now." He said.
"Is everything alright?" Kya asked worried ad she looked at Lin.
"I think its best you come and handle this. It's probably not a good idea to let Lin know anything before she gets here. I'll see you in a little bit." He said with a sigh as he hung up his phone.
"He wants us to come to his office right now." Kya said as she hung up the phone.
"We do not have time for this! We have find Kuvira." Lin growled annoyed. She wished he would realize she wasn't his lap dog.
Kya put a comforting hand on her arm. "I think it could be about her. He said it was best not to tell you anything over the phone."
"Fine let's go." Lin said with a huff as she grabbed her car keys. "I'll tell the kids to meet us there."
Team avatar was waiting on them outside when they pulled up. "This better be about Kuvira or else." Lin said marching into the building with everyone following.
"Dad what are you doing here?" Korra asked as they walked in and seen all the world leaders.
"We are here to cousin." Eska said as her brother nodded.
"Yeah I noticed." Korra deadpanned.
"Raiko whatever this is about I don't have time for it." Lin said crossing her arms.
"You should talk to your sister." Raiko said waving his hand.
"Before that." Fire Lord Izumi said standing up. "This table is made completely out of wood right?"
"Um yes why?" Raiko asked nervously. Izumi said nothing as she came around the table and flipped it on its side. "I think all of you should get down." Everyone looked around not sure what was going on exactly.
"Su what is it we need to talk about." Lin asked confused.
Su shrugged. "I'm not sure why any of you are here. I came here to tell Raiko that I arrested Kuvira for over throwing me and taking over my city. I have had every intention of imprisoning her since she imprisoned my family. I arrested her last night and put her in a wooden cell down at the station. I have my new Captain and a few of his guards watching her right now."
The room grew deadly quiet after Su was done talking. Kya glanced at Lin to see her face blank. Team avatar nervously glanced at each other before nodding. They quietly spread out across the room waiting for something to happen.
"So let me get this straight." Lin said rubbing her temple. "After I told you the other night that you didn't have any say so I'm my city. You broke into my home the next night and kidnapped." Lin held up a hand. "Wait sorry my bad. I meant you arrested her. Then you took her down to MY station and put her in a wooden cell guarded by your top men I'm guessing."
Su raised an eyebrow. "Why did you repeat everything I just told you?"
"I just wanted to make sure I had it right.' Lin said with a smile. She turned toward Kya and took her hands.
"Uh Lin?" Kya asked scared by the way Lin was smiling at her.
Lin led her over to the door and hugged her." Go down to the station with those kids and take Kuvira home". She whispered in Kya's ear.
"But what are y- "Kya stopped as she pulled back and saw all the emotion in Lin's eyes. "Ok."
"Thanks." Lin said. "I'll see you back at home."
"Mako, Bolin, Korra, and Asami let's go I don't think we should be here". Kya said opening the door. "Now." Kya hissed when they didn't move.
Korra stopped just before she left out the door and turned to Su. "If you would have stayed last night then you would have known that Lin put Kuvira in my care. So you can't arrest her or anything. Korra said smirking. But I'm sure Raiko can tell you all about it."
"What!" Su yelled looking to Raiko as Korra left. "It's just as the avatar says. If you stand you would have known." Raiko said fixing his clothes.
"You're lying." Su said squinting at him.
Raiko huffed annoyed. "I'm the president and presidents don't lie."
She glared at him as walked over to her sister who was looking out one of the huge windows. "Lin you can't be serious?" Su asked her. Lin didn't say anything. "Lin?"
Lin waved her hand and her cable shot out wrapping around Su's waist and throwing her through the window. She looked over her shoulder at the remaining people in the room. "I suggest you don't try to get in between this." Then she jumped out the window.
"Well that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." Izumi said getting up from behind the table.
"What were you expecting?" Tonraq asked her looking at the broken window.
"I've seen them fight before and it gets pretty bad. This however might be worse than any fight that they've ever had. I've never seen Lin that mad before." Izumi said setting the table back up.
"That was pretty intense. Next time we will trust your judgment." Desna said.
"Did you really leave Kuvira in Korra's care?" Eska asked.
Raiko sighed taking off his glasses and rubbing his face. "No. She doesn't need to be left in anyone's care but as far as Su's concerned right now she's under the Avatar's watchful eye. I must think her for coming up with that on the spot."
"Why did we leave like that?" Bolin asked as they walked over to Asami's car.
They looked up at the sound of falling glass. Korra air bent it away as they watched Su escape the pieces of earth sent at her by Lin.
"That's why." Kya said sounding exhausted. "You better not get hurt to badly." She mumbled.
"What?" Mako asked.
Kya shook her head. "Nothing Asami can you get us to the station under five minutes?"
Asami smirked as she got in the car and pushed a button. A police light came out on the hood of her car. "I can do better than that." Everyone else groaned.
"You just gave this speed demon the green light." Bolin said as he buckled up.
"She would have gotten us there fast as hell without you asking." Mako said shaking his head.
"You should really buckle up." Korra said as Asami took off from the curve.
"Fuck." Kya hissed as she got out on shaky legs and tried to speed walk into the building. Bolin pat her on the back as they followed
Mako. "We keep the holding cells upstairs."
"I'm sorry but no one is allowed past this section."
Mako looked at the woman and frowned. "You're one of Su's aren't you?" The woman nodded.
A scream echoed down the hallway. "Kuvira!" Kya yelled pushing past the woman.
"Hey!" The woman shouted.
Korra air bent her into the wall as they ran past her and after Kya. Kya ran to the only closed cell door and cut it in half with a water whip. She frozen from what she was seeing. A guard was stomping down on Kuvira's stomach. The guard stopped when he noticed her. She didn't think as she blood bent all three guards in the room.
"Kya!" Asami shouted as they entered the room. The others went for Kuvira. "Kya they're not worth it." Asami said calmly. Kya slammed them into the wall twice before dropping them to the floor.
"No please!" Kuvira sobbed curling in on herself as Korra tried to check her out.
"Kuvira relax it's me Korra." Korra said trying to help the crying woman.
Kuvira only sobbed hard holding herself. Kya hurried over taking her face in her hands. "Kuvira sweetie it's me Kya. Lin's friend. Do you remember?" Kya asked hopefully as she searched her face.
"Lin?" Kuvira hicced.
"She's not here but we can take you to her." Kya said brushing some of her tears away.
"I want Lin." Kuvira said trying to curl up on herself again.
"I know sweetheart. I know." Kya said trying to keep Kuvira looking at her. "Want us to take you to her?" Kuvira just nodded.
"I'll take her." Korra said carefully picking her up.
"Me and Bolin will stay here and take care of this mess. Will catch up with you guys later." Mako said looking around the cell. It smelled strongly of blood and piss.
"We'll also let everyone know that we got Kuvira back." Bolin said. "They'll probably want to visit when you give the ok."
"Alright thanks guys!" Asami shouted over her shoulder as they hurried to the car.
"I don't care how many laws you break just get us to Lin's fast." Kya said as she started to heal Kuvira with the water she had on hand.
Asami nodded as she took off police lights swirling.
Su caught Lin's eye as she was thrown from the window. There was nothing but pure hatred before she looked over her shoulder. Su shivered as shot off a cable to catch herself on the side of a building. She did not have much of a break before she had to dodge the earth that was thrown at her. She dropped to the ground and sent metal strips flying at Lin.
Lin deflected them and shifted the earth beneath Su's feet as she sent the metal right back. She stumped her foot bringing a huge chuck of earth out of the ground. She broke it apart into smaller shaper shapes. Su launched her into the air with a slab of earth. Lin used that to her advantage raining pieces of earth down on her. She pulled herself behind her sister's earth wall with her cable and crack the earth open trapped Su's feet. Su freed herself hitting Su with a light pole.
"Why are you attacking me!?" Su panted as she watched Lin get back to feet and make a metal balls from the light post.
"You took her from me once!" Lin growled. She fired the metal balls and threw Su forward by a piece from her earth wall.
Su grunted as the ball struck her chest plate. She yelled as Lin's cable wrapped around her ankle and slammed her into the street and then three her. She staggered as she caught her footing.
"Wasn't that enough!?" Lin yelled again and Su blocked her incoming attacks. "You stopped her from seeing me and now you're trying to take her again! And for what!? Because she did a better job at helping your people in the city you built than you did!"
"She captured us!" Su yelled throwing sheets of metal at Lin.
"You're the only one who thinks that!" Lin dodged them and uppercutted Su with a thrust of earth.
"I was only trying to what was best for her. I wasn't going to waste talent." Su kicked blocks of earth at her.
"You did what was best for you." Lin said breaking them. "She was a little girl but you treated her more like a project."
"Korra put her in the bathtub." Kya said she turned the water on.
"Is there anything I can do?" Asami asked feeling useless.
"No this part is all me." Kya said as she kneeled on the floor and began the healing process.
"Come on Kya likes it quiet while she works." Korra said ushering Asami out as she closed the door.
"Do you think Su knew?" Asami asked as she set on the bed.
"I'm not sure but I hope for her sake that she didn't have any idea." Korra growled.
"What was that about Kuvira being under your care?" Asami asked her.
"Oh uh it was a spur of the moment thing. I just couldn't let Su have the upper hand. I don't think Lin could have handled it." Korra said sadly.
"I understand you just wanted to help like always." Asami said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. Korra stuck out her tongue at her. "Oh it's Bolin." Asami said answering her phone and putting it on speaker. "Hey Bolin what's up?"
"Hey Asami so I'm going to start with the good news." Bolin said. "Ok so we arrested those guys and decided to let Lin deal with them later."
"She'll have fun with that." Korra sighed.
"I know right." Bolin deadpanned. "We told everyone what happened and they were all shocked and are angry at Su but not Lin's angry. Because you know we still don't know the full story there."
"The point Bolin." Asami reminded him.
"Oh yeah right um so I don't know if this is good news or bad new but Toph is here. She's out in the city with Opal. Who's showing her around. And I didn't know if that was good news or bad new because well you know she can see with earth bending and you know. Lin and Su are fighting somewhere in the city."
"Ugh why is this all happening today?" Korra groaned.
"Hey at least we aren't two for two." Bolin joked.
"Bye Bolin." Asami said hanging up. "What do we do?"
"I'm just as lost as you are." Korra said throwing up her hands.
"Maybe we should ask Kya. She might know something since they did grew up together." Asami pointed out.
Korra got up and knocked on the bathroom door before entering. "Quick question Toph is in the city and we're wondering should be worried. You know since her daughters are fighting in the city. Probably wrecking everything." Korra said ticking things off on her fingers.
Kya groaned. "Ay dios mio." (Oh lord.)
"What?" Korra asked not understanding her.
"Look if I were you or anybody I would stay far away from that. Like far away and just let them work it out on their own."
"I don't like the sound of it either way it goes but I'm going to trust you instinct." Korra said as she closed the door again.
"You know sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I didn't meet you." Asami said as Korra returned to her side.
"How do you think it would have been?" Korra asked curiously?
"Right now?" Asami asked in thought as Korra nodded. "Hmm I guess I would probably be dead." Korra looked at her with her mouth open. Asami laughed and closed it with her finger and pat her cheek. "You have to remember who my father worked for Korra. Even if I didn't meet you guys then I would have found out or he would have come to me. And I would have declined him." Asami said for sure.
"Well this may sound weird but I'm happy you hit Mako day. Your road to your life with us started that day." Korra said giving her a bright smile.
"Yeah I am to." Asami said looking at the woman beside her.
Lin blocked Su in with two earth walls as she came from above with a metal pole.
"Stop!" Lin was blasted back by a gust of air. "What is going on here?!" Opal yelled looking between her mom and Aunt.
"She-"
"Years later and I'm still cleaning up your messes. I'm a little old for this don't you think?" Lin was interrupted by her mother. As Toph walked up the earth went back to the way it was and the metal was piled up.
"Mother." Su said standing up.
"Why are the two of you fighting this time?" Toph asked waiting for an answer.
Lin waited wanting to see what her sister would say. "I'm not really sure. I told Raiko how I wanted to arrest Kuvira for what she had done to me and Lin blew up. She threw me out of his office window and attacked me on the streets." Su said glaring at her sister.
"Mother! You can't do that. Kuvira hasn't done anything wrong but try and help people. And she was doing a pretty good job at it." Opal said chastising her mother.
"After everything I just said and you still claim you don't know." Lin growled balling up her fist. She wanted to keep screaming and shouting. She wanted to force her sister to see what she was getting at here but it felt like a lost cause. And just like that all the anger and fight bleed out of her. She sighed. "You know what just forget it. This is useless. You don't understand me and you don't know me. One day I hope you come around but for now stay away from Kuvira until you figure your shit out." Lin walked over to her mom. "I'm sorry that I interrupted whatever you were doing. It was nice to see you mom." She hesitated before giving Toph a quick hug. "I love you mom."
"I love you to." Toph said smiling at her. Lin turned and started to walk away. "Tell Kuvira I oh her an apology. She does not give metal benders a bad name. She should feel honored I don't give everyone an apology." Toph said as she walked away.
Lin huffed a laugh as she threw a wave over her shoulder. "Sure thing mom."
It took Lin almost an hour to get back home. She had a new door. Curtesy of Huan because it looked like something he would call art. She sighed opening the door. It was something she would have to get used to. She just wanted to go lie down and shut the world out for hours but she couldn't. She had people in her life now. Kya was asleep on couch. No doubt waiting for her to come home. She decided not to bother her and headed to check on Kuvira. She walked in her room but no one was one the bed. She frowned checking the bathroom. Before she let herself panic she went to the guest room. She slowly opened the door and saw Kuvira bandaged up on the bed. If Su had anything to do with this then Lin would make sure she would end up on the same state. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. She cupped Kuvira's cheek gently stroking it with her thumb. Kuvira nuzzled into her hand as she woke up.
"Hey." She had a tired smile on her lips.
"Who hurt you?" Lin's voice cracked.
Kuvira placed a bandaged hand over Lin's. "It was Su's new Captain. Zento. Su didn't have any idea that he was going to attack me all night long."
"All night?" Lin asked shocked.
"Yeah but I'm ok." Kuvira looked away.
"You're lying." Lin whispered with tears in her eyes. "Look at you. I know you're in pain so please don't lie to me. I just want you to be safe."
"Where were you? I've been waiting on you." Kuvira said asked worriedly.
Lin looked away blinking out the few tears she had. "Me and my sister fought."
"Why?" Kuvira asked confused.
Lin gave her a look. "You of course. I haven't slept all night I've been worried sick about you. I wanted and needed to kick her ass."
"Did it help?" Kuvira asked.
"No not at all. She doesn't know me as well as she thinks she does. My mom showed up though. She says she owes you and apology and that you should feel honored." Kuvira laughed but winced from the pain. "Are you ok?" Lin asked concerned.
"I'm fine just really banged up. Kya said should do another healing session after she recharged her batteries. It's something that you should be doing as well." Kuvira said giving her a look.
Lin laughed giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I'll come check on you later after I rested some."
A sigh of relief left Lin's lips as the hot water hit her body. It felt too good to be real at that moment. She didn't bother putting on anything besides boy shorts and a t-shirt. She collapsed on the bed face first. She was doomed to get lost in her thoughts until a body crawled in behind her. She was pulled back in Kya's arms. She pulled the arm around her waist up to her chest and held it there. She relaxed into the crook of Kya's other arm as a hand went through her hair.
"How are you feeling?" Kya asked kissing her head.
"Drained." Lin said truthfully. "I don't understand how she's still so selfish deep down. Then she acts like she has no idea why I'm attached to Kuvira so much. Like I didn't beg her on my fucking knees to let me take responsibility for her. Since she started growing up. She has never made a move to get to know me. She's just based me off of assumptions and her own thoughts. And after realizing that and how she needs to understand my relationship with Kuvira on her own. I can't force her to do anything. It just pisses me off because she's family and so is Kuvira." Lin sniffed. That's when she noticed she was crying. Kya cooed wiping away a few of her tears as Lin turned to her. "Thank you for being here Kya." She said resting her head on her chest.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." Kya told her.
Lin raised an eyebrow at that. "Honestly I thought you would be planning your next trip by now. Now that danger is over."
Kya bit her lip stroking Lin's hair. "Well I was thinking about staying for a while."
"Oh yeah?" Lin asked half sleep.
"Yeah I was thinking that I would stay for good." Kya whispered.
"I'd like that." Lin mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.
"Me to." Kya whispered closing her eyes.
