What's Best for You

Asami gasped as they existed the spirit world. "I don't think I'll ever get use to that." She said shaking her head.

Korra laughed wrapping a arm around her waist. "We just need to visit me often."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Asami kissed her temple wrapping a arm around her shoulders.

They stopped to look around them and noticed the number of spirit vines had increased. "I'm sure that's going to be a problem." Korra sighed running a hand through her short hair.

"Something that'll probably be added to my list." Asami said as the made their way out of the spirit portal crater.

"Yeah but I'm sure we can help each other out." Korra said shrugging. "I'll have your back no matter what."

"And you've got me no matter what." Asami said looking at how vines grew on the surrounding buildings.

A flyer caught Korra's eye when they made it to a working street. She walked over to a flyer and took it down. "Spirit portal amusement park coming soon." She read. She was absolutely speechless. How could anyone think this was ok.

"Korra?" Asami asked noticing the seething look she had. Korra didn't say anything. All she did was thrust the paper out for her to grab it. Asami frowned as she read the paper. "Who the hell thinks that this is ok?" She hissed.

"That's only one more problem among others." Korra mumbled pointing over to a building across the street where a gang sign was graffitied on the building. "Looks like the Triads are back."

"Shit like our lives weren't complicated enough." Asami sighed folding the flyer up and putting it in her pocket. "Hey let's talk more when we get home?" She said taking her hand as she waved down a taxi.

Korra pouted as they got in the taxi. "Why can't we get a break. I just want to live a nice life with you?" She said as Asami told the driver directions.

"Well because I fell in love with the avatar and she fell in love with a CEO." Asami said with a long sigh.

Korra smiled rolling her eyes. "And you say I'm the dork."

"Yeah my dork." Asami said flicking her nose.

Korra scowled leaning away but Asami followed her giggling. "Get off me you're heavy."

"You didn't think I was heavy any other time I was on top of you princess." Asami said sliding her hands under Korra's shirt and biting her ear. Korra whimpered biting her lip. She loved it when Asami called her princess. Asami pulled away when the taxi stopped. She laughed at Korra's glare. "Thank you." She said handing them money as she ushered her out.

"Future industries?" Korra asked confused looking at the building.

"Yeah" Asami said leading the way and waving to her people. It was at least another hour and a half until the sun came up but some of her workers had her bad habits. Over time was very much a thing here. "I have a car here." She said leading her over to the elevator. "And I didn't want to pay the taxi driver to take us all the way home."

"You think Kuvira is up yet?" Korra asked as the elevator made its way down.

"No because the sun hasn't started rising." Asami answered crossing her arms. "Kya told me how the woman wakes with the sun." She looked down at Korra watching her. "Want me to go as fast as I can without getting in trouble so we can wake her up instead? Kya also mentioned something about her being adorable when she's waking up."

Korra looked up and gave her a greatful smile as the elevator doors opened. "Yeah I bet she's going to be all confused. I hope Naga and her got along."

"I don't see a reason why they wouldn't." Asami said leading the way to her car.

The two woman quietly made their way into house. There was still another hour before the sun came up.

"Do you think she's in the cottage?" Asami asked as they stepped out of the car. She took a deep breath and smiled. She missed the smell of her garage.

"Let's check the house first." Korra said making her way towards the door of the house. She came inside and dropped their bags off by the door. They would deal with those later.

"Korra!" Asami whispered yelled.

Korra turned and saw Asami was leaning over one of the couches. She walked around to see what had her all excited and gasped. Kuvira was asleep on the couch balled up in a blanket. "She's so adorable." Korra said kneeling by the couch.

"Yeah take a picture. We can tease her about it later." Asami said smirking. Kuvira was so easy to tease.

Korra quickly turned her phone back on and snapped a quick picture. "She can't be to mad because she's not ugly in it."

"I'm going to wake her up." Asami said reaching out. She gently cupped Kuvira's cheek and stroked it softly.

Kuvira groaned a little as she woke up. She blinked a couple times before her vision cleared up. A smile spread across her face as she saw the other two women. "You're back." She said quietly.

"Yeah we are." Asami said still stroking her cheek as she leaned into it more.

"Did you have fun?" Kuvira asked glancing at them both.

"Yeah it was amazing." Korra said rocking on her knees. "Did you miss you?"

"Not really." Kuvira said with a shrug. She chuckled sitting up as Korra stuck her tongue out at her. Both women bit their lip at the sound.

"That's mean." Korra pouted.

Kuvira flicked her nose. "It did get lonely around here but Naga was great company."

"Really!?" Korra said getting up on the couch. Asami came around and sat down between her legs. "I was hoping you two would get along."

"I'm happy you two are finally together." Kuvira said as she hugged her legs. "I imagine the spirit world was way better that way."

They both blushed with a smile. "Why don't you come along next time and find out captain." Asami said in a voice that made Korra's blush worsen.

Kuvira's face heated up as her blush went all the way up to her ears. She doesn't think she's every been called captain in that way before. "Maybe we can one day." She mumbled looking down. She missed the two matching smirks directed at her.

"What's been going on since we've been gone?" Korra asked thinking about the two things they saw earlier.

Kuvira sighed leaning her head on the the couch. "It's been a crazy ride and it's only been a week. I went to Ba Sing Se and gave power back over top the old people. You guys can probably see that on TV or internet."

"Can we hear it from you and see it instead?" Korra asked sweetly. Resting her chin on Asami's shoulder.

"It's a long story kinda." Kuvira said shrugging her shoulders.

"And we've got time." Asami said offering her a soft smile.

Kuvira looked at blue and green before she leaned over and scooped her phone off the table. She started telling her story as she pulled up the video that she knew was online. After that she started from when her solders talked to her. Then she took a deep breath and told them what happened in her apartment. Word for word even though she didn't want to but she felt they needed to know. It took everything in the other two women to not pull her into their arms and hold her close. She looked so broken when she showed them her scars. They could tell she was trying so hard not to break down. Kuvira went quiet looking at her scars.

"Come here." Asami said holding out her hand to her.

Kuvira looked up surprised to Korra's gentle smile. She didn't hesitate any longer taking the offered hand. Asami pulled her in and shifted. Kuvira landed between them. Asami slowly guided Kuvira to lean against Korra's chest. She held Kuvira from the back.

"It's ok. You're here with us right now. And everything Su." Korra said her name with so much disgust that Kuvira smiled. "Said was wrong. We can tell that you're an amazing person. Even though we really don't know much. But we want to know everything that you're willing to let us know. We want to know who you really are." Korra said running a hand through Kuvira's hair.

"I'd like that." Kuvira said softly. It felt so good to be in there arms. She let out a content sigh as they both snuggled closer to her. She continued with her story from where she left off. Promising to take them both to the cliffs as soon as she could. Before she told them anything else though she went back to the other conversations that she owed them.

"Well you definitely are something." Asami said squeezing Kuvira's middle.

Kuvira blushed. "Thanks."

"What's been going on around the city? We saw a couple messed up things as we were making our way to a working street." Korra said cradling both women in her arms.

"Yeah who's the person who wants to build a amusement park by the spirit world portal?" Asami growled.

Kuvira shivered from the sound. She decided less body contact would be a good thing. She pushed back and they both got the message. They untangled their arms and sat up straighter watching her. Kuvira sighed. "The Triads are back and they've all come together. Lin says they're more dangerous than before. She has always been really busy and more stressed. Kya has started working at a hospital. She says she shouldn't stay at home and waste her talent. With her being a master healer she can jump from department to department or either teach classes. It depends on how bad they need her or not. She likes it though. Then some genius." Kuvira growled. "Decided it would be a good idea to make a spirit portal amusement park. He asked Future Industries to sponsor him first but your assistant quickly shut him down."

Asami chuckled. "Of course she would."

"He didn't take it to well." Kuvira said glancing at her.

Asami shook her head. "I imagine not. What did he say?"

"He said just because she's fucking the avatar doesn't mean that she has to let it get in the way of great business." Kuvira said quietly. "Then he made a deal the with Cabbage Corp." She cut Asami of before she could say anything. "Cabbage Corp. has also been busy. They want to try and harvest spirit vine energy into something useful for them. They won't be able to though since the vines die off once they're cut. You have to have permission from the vines spirits to use them." She sighed again standing up and stretching. "I know it's only been a couple of days but it seems like a lot more. You two should probably let everyone else know you're home."

They watched her go over and call for Naga. She laughed as Naga walked over yawning. "Yeah I know you hate it when I get you up this early but I got a surprise for you." She stepped out of the way as the polar bear dog yawned again.

"Hey girl!" Korra said getting up and opening her arms. "I missed you!" Naga woke up immediately and ran over to her. Korra laughed letting the huge animal nuzzle her as much as she wanted.

Asami pouted standing up. "I'm here to Naga." Naga huffed as she turned to her just as excited. She laughed as she received her welcome home licks.

"I'm going to go make breakfast. When you're done come in the kitchen. I want to tell you guys about me and then why Lin is so important to me. I'm sure there's questions floating around in your heads." Kuvira said strolling out of the room.

Korra and Asami smiled at each other. Kuvira was being so open. It the total opposite of what they thought. "Maybe the spare bedroom might be getting some use after all."

Lin sighed brushing off her uniform as she stepped out of her patrol car. The Triads had blown up a bridge but because of the tip they received. They were able to stop most of the damage and fix the bridge. That was yesterday though and she hadn't been to sleep yet. She slowly drove through the streets in her car to her house. It was only times like this that she wished she actually lived in the city and not on the outskirts.

Maybe Kya would there to welcome her home. A long sigh escaped her lips when she was greeted with silence after entering her house. Bending her uniform to the wall she walked into the kitchen hoping there would be something to eat. She chuckled to herself as she opened the fridge and found one of Kya's sticky notes on a pre-made meal.

"Don't eat mines." The note read with a lot of hearts.

"Maybe she'll be back soon. I don't think a lot of people got hurt." Lin said to herself as she went over to the fridge.

She would have called to check up on her but her phone was dead and Kya's probably would be as well. After eating and taking a shower she collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Lin was woken up by a body landing next to hers on the bed.

"Kya?" She asked sleepily.

"Amor. (Love.)" Kya mumbled groggily.

"Love you." Lin mumbled searching for her hand.

"Te quiero. (Love you to.)" Kya said threading their fingers together.

They both let out a content hum and fell asleep.

"I'm going to call my mom's." Kuvira said taking her plate to the sink.

"That's so cute that you're already cashing calling Kya mama." Korra said.

Kuvira blushed embarrassed. "How can I not? We click and she's Lin's other half."

"You've got a point there." Asami said taking Korra's and her plate to the sink so she could start on the dishes.

"Ah! I could do that Asami and plus you and Korra just got back." Kuvira said stopping before she pressed the call button.

Asami shrugged looking at her from over her shoulder. "I don't mind it. I usually had Korra on dish washing duty but anyway." Kuvira gasped at the smile Asami gave her. "I'm really happy you called us by our names. I was worried that you might go back to our titles."

"No." Kuvira said shaking her head. She glanced back at Korra. "It's what the two of you wanted me to call you."

"You're cute." Korra said watching the blush spread up to the older woman's ears.

"I-I'm making the call now!" Kuvira said hurriedly pressing the call button and putting it on speaker. The other two quietly chuckled. The sound had Kuvira wishing her mom's would pick up faster.

Kya and Lin groaned as a phone ringed. "Es minas tengo que. (It's mines I got it.)" Kya grumbled grabbing her phone. "Hola (Hello.)"

"Hi Kya is this a bad time?" Kuvira said noticing how off she sounded.

"Nunca es un mal momento para usted. Estamos cansados. (It's never a bad time for you. We're just tired.)" Kya said putting it on speaker phone.

"Oh well sorry to wake you up." Kuvira said. She had heard the news yesterday and knew that they were probably tired and just going to bed.

"Daijōbudesu badgermole. (It's ok badgermole.)" Lin mumbled moving closer to Kya. "Nani o shitaidesu ka? (What did you want?)"

"Asami and Korra are back." Kuvira said happily.

"Hola chicas. (Hi girls.)" Kya said wrapping an arm around Lin's waist.

"Yoi. Ichi wa sore ga eru koto ga dekiru subete no tasuke o hitsuyō to shimasu. (Good the city needs all the help it can get.)" Lin said snuggling into Kya's warmth.

"I've told them the highlights on what's been going on." Kuvira informed her.

"Es que todo lo que quería? (Was that all you wanted?)" Kya asked closing her eyes again.

"Did you guys want to say anything?" Kuvira asked the two women in the room with her.

"Would you guys like to go get dinner with us tonight?" Korra asked.

"Hai, sore wa umaku iku hazudesu. (Yeah that should fine.)" Lin mumbled already falling back asleep.

"Ok see you guys tonight I love you." Kuvira said knowing they were almost asleep again.

"Te amo (Love you.)" She heard Kya mumble before hanging up. She shook her head and put her phone on the counter.

"So what they say?" Korra asked her confused.

Kuvira laughed at her face. "They said it would be ok. One of us will just text them the location later tonight."

"Oh ok." Korra said sitting up in her seat. "I had no idea what they were saying."

"What about you Asami?" Kuvira asked the woman who had come to stand beside her.

"I knew what Lin was saying." Asami said. "I know Japanese and Chinese."

"No fair!" Korra said pouting at them. "I want to learn another language to."

"I bet with your position in the water tribe. You were appointed lots of teachers for all kinds of things but you didn't pay attention or even want to learn. Isn't that right princess?" Kuvira smirked teasing her.

Korra blushed as a shiver ran down her spin. She saw the way Asami's eyes darkened as she looked at Kuvira then to her. Korra licked her lips. "You're right about that Captain." She said ignoring her blush and sending a smirk back at Kuvira.

Kuvira blushed biting her lip as she looked away. How could the two of them make a word she's heard a thousand times before sound like that.

"Cat got your tongue?" Asami whispered in her ear.

"I wish." Kuvira slapped a hand over her mouth and looked between the two smirking women. "I-I-I mean- Uh um- I'll see you later." Kuvira said quickly making her way to the back door.

"Do you think we're to underdressed?" Kya asked as they walked up to the restaurant.

"Baby you have on a blouse and dress pants. And what's wrong with my button up?" Lin asked her rolling her eyes.

Kya huffed. "I'm just saying it looks like a fancy place."

"Asami assured me that we have nothing to worry about and wear what we want." Lin said having already spot Korra.

"Hey guys." Korra said when they got closer.

"See." Lin said motioning to Korra's jeans and button up. Kya rolled her eyes as she pulled Korra in for a hug.

"What?" Korra asked as she led the way to their table.

"Kya thought we were underdressed." Lin said bumping Kya with her shoulder.

Korra laughed. "Trust me if anything we're underdressed."

A booth housing Asami and Kuvira came into view. Asami's beanie and Kuvira's messy bun were easy enough to spot. They both got up ready to give out hugs to the older women. Asami had on a sweater and a t-shirt and Kuvira a hoodie and blue jean vest.

"I missed all of you". Kya said as she sat down next to Asami.

"It's only been a week." Asami said rolling her eyes playfully.

"And you saw me yesterday." Kuvira said waving her off as she spotted their waiter.

"But that's still to long." Kya said dramatically as she pouted.

Korra giggled. "I agree with you Kya. And I can tell Lin missed us to. She hugged me so tight."

"See if any of you get another hug from me." Lin said turning away from them.

Kuvira waited until they had all placed their drink orders to speak. "So you don't want a hug from me mom?"

Lin melted instantly. She reached across the table and held her hand. "You know you don't count."

Kuvira smiled and stuck her tongue out at her friends. Asami reached across Korra and thumped her in the head. "Hey! I expected this childish behavior from Korra but not you Asami." Kuvira said rubbing her forehead.

"Kuvira?" They all looked to see a woman approach the table.

"Cin." Kuvira said getting up.

"The one and only beautiful." Cin said kissing her cheek.

Kuvira blushed. "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to pick up my girlfriend. She works here." Cin said shrugging.

Kuvira looked crestfallen. "Girlfriend?"

"I was hoping she was talking about you but I didn't want to get my hopes up."

Kuvira turned around and gasped. "Nina?"

"Hello Kuvira." Nina said walking over and wrapping an arm around Cin's waist and kissing her cheek. "She's been telling me about you but I thought there's no way it could be you."

"I never thought I would see you again either." Kuvira said still shocked.

"Well I'm happy we did. It's like a second chance you know."

"A second chance?" Kuvira repeated blushing.

"Yeah you've already been on three dates with this one." Nina said pointing at giggling Cin. "Why not give me a chance to prove I'm worth your attention to."

"Oh um y-yeah. I would like that." Kuvira said smiling. She couldn't believe two people that were already together could be interested in her.

"Good I'll get your number from Cin and we can set something up." Nina said smiling at her.

"Well we'll let you get back to your dinner with your friends." Cin said motioning to the table of people that they had ignored this whole time. Kuvira didn't even want to turn around and see the eyes focused on her.

"Oh no." Korra said waving her off. "We wouldn't want to bother you guys. We've all been ignored at some point in our lives." Asami squeezed her thigh in warning. She grumbled taking a sip of her drink.

"Don't worry about us. Take your time." Kya said a little to sweetly. The other three women at the table looked at her.

"Thank you but we're going to get out of your hair." Nina said smiling at Kuvira.

"I'll call you." Cin said pulling Kuvira into a hug.

"You can expect one from me to." Nina said winking at her.

"Bye Kuv." Cin said leading Nina to the entrance.

Kuvira bit her lip as she took her seat again. "Sorry about that." She mumbled.

"You two seem close. Well looks like the three of you will be pretty closer soon." Lin said correcting herself. "We're just friends." Kuvira said weakly.

"Oh I'm sure the three of you are Kuv." Asami said biting back a growl.

"Funny friends don't go out on dates." Korra mumbled looking at her menu.

"Why are you acting like this?" Kuvira asked turning to the other two women. Earlier when they had asked hey had she made any friends. She thought it was a good idea to not mention Cin and whatever they had going on. Now she sees it was the right choice.

"Where did you meet Cin?" Lin jumped in stopping something before it had the chance to start.

"She's the one that designed my dress for the wedding."

"And Nina?" Lin asked curious.

Kuvira blushed looking down at the table. "Nina was the first girl I ever liked. The one that Zento told on me for liking." She brushed a few strands of hair out of her face. "It's surprising and unbelievable but I'm looking forward to catching up after all these years. Plus something might actually happen between us."

It was quiet as everyone looked at their menu. "Well I don't like either of them." Kya said flipping through her menu.

"B-But you don't even know them!" Kuvira whined at Kya.

"I don't need to." Kya said shrugging. It's a feeling I had. A m-" She stopped realizing what are was about to say. A mother does know best but is she really even allowed to call herself that. Kuvira may call her mama but it could also mean nothing. She relaxed when Lin started to rub her thigh.

"Listen me and Kya had a long and horrible day. We just want to have a good time with our girls tonight." She smiled bigger when all three younger women blushed. "So how about we get back to having a good time? I want to see all you laughing and smiling. Little badgermole."

"Yes?" Kuvira glanced at her having been addressed. "I'm not gonna lie. I don't like either of them. I think there are better people out there for you that you haven't figured out yet. But I'll welcome them anyway because they make you happy. I will not however accept anyone making you unhappy or treating you wrong."

"But how do you know you don't like them? You don't even know them." Kuvira stressed.

Lin chuckled as she pulled Kya closer to her. She kissed her on the temple before leaning her head on hers. "Call it two mothers intuition."

Kya's face heated up. "L-Lin!" She sputtered embarrassed.

"Moving on!" Lin said ignoring her. "Korra and Asami I want to hear about your spirit world vacation." Lin watched a sly smile spread across Asami's face. "Leave out the sex please!" She said hurriedly.

"Boooo! You're no fun Linny." Kya said sticking out her tongue at her.

"Excuse me for not wanting to know how Asami fucked Korra all over the spirit world."

"Hey! How do you know it wasn't the other way around?" Korra said puffing out her chest. Lin and Kya gave her a look making her slump into her seat.

"We all know you're the submissive one princess." Kuvira teased her.

"Oh and what are you Captain?" Korra asked turning to her and leaning close. She smirked seeing the way Kuvira gulped. "Are you the kind of woman who walks in and takes charge? Or the kind of woman who rolls over on her back?" She leaned in closer loving the way the older woman blushed. "Because to me you look like the kind of woman who does what she's told."

Kuvira let herself get lost in the blue that stared her down. She knew which one she was and she was pretty sure the two of them did as well.

"Well aren't you going to answer her captain?" The sound of Asami's voice almost made her whimper she heard the underlining command.

Her mind went blank suddenly with blue and green starring her down. The answer was right there on the tip of her tongue. "I-"

"Are you ladies ready to order?" The waiter said smiling at them as he pulled out his note pad.

"Yes." Lin said hurriedly so she wouldn't have to hear Kuvira's answer.

"No fun at all." Kya whispered with a chuckle into her ear. She looked over and saw Kuvira hiding her face in her hands. The other two were giggling at her.

"The spirit world was amazing." Asami said after the waiter had left. "I would go again but I could do without Korra doing things that could kill me so suddenly."

Korra laughed loudly. "She's over reacting. Let me tell you about the highlights of Asami's freaks out for no reason." She said taking her hand and kissing her knuckles. "She actually loved every second it."

Asami rolled her eyes but let her talk. She looked around the table at everyone's happy faces. She wanted to remember it because tomorrow she would be back in her office working her ass off. Korra would also probably return to her avatar duties. She sighed quietly looking at her love. She would make more moments like this possible.

They existed their dimension and floated above the teenage girl watching her. The darkness in her heart was spreading to her soul as she watched the object of her hate. They groaned rubbing their stomach. "She's going to taste so good once I get through with her."

They landed down behind her. "Hello." The girl jumped turning around to defend herself. "And here I thought you didn't attack spirits." They said watching her relax.

"You look different from other spirits." She said looking them over. They did infact resemble a human.

"That is because you know nothing about me or my origin. However that is unimportant because I came to help you." They said walking up beside her to see who she was looking at.

"Help me?" She questioned still looking at them.

"Yes. What if I told you I could get rid of the darkness in your heart." They said returning her stare.

She was quiet and they knew she was thinking it over. Then she looked back down at the object of her hate. "What if I didn't want to get rid of it."

A wolfish grin made it's way across their face. "Then I would be more than happy to help you harvest it into your own power."

They held out their hand to her. She looked at it a long time before finally taking it. They laughed scaring her. "You made this to easy."

She tried to snatch her hand back but couldn't. She went to scream but the spirit entered through her mouth stopping the sound. She fell to her knees as she passed out on top of the grassy hill. She would wake later not remembering anything other than needing to take a break on top of the hill.
