The Next day Jason, Korra, Azin, and Baani walked up the path towards the Sato Mansion.
"Wow." Jason whistled. "Big house. Not as big as Wayne Manor, but still pretty big."
They knocked on the door and waited a few minutes before the door was opened by a well-dressed butler. "Yes?" The butler asked.
"Avatar Korra, Jason Todd, Azin, and Banni." Jason said. "Asami is expecting us."
"Allow me a moment to confirm this." The butler said.
"Yeah. Sure. Take your time."
The Butler left and Jason thought back to his meeting with Beifong.
Two hours ago.
"Hey Chief." He said walking into Lin's office. "I'm heading over to the Sato mansion. We got invited over there by Asami. I'll keep an eye out and report back with what I find. I don't think that Asami knows about her father's discretion, but I'll find out."
"Good. I want hard evidence about Hiroshi Sato before we arrest him. I want an open and shut case."
"I'll get it, even if I have to break Hiroshi myself."
"Then why the hell are you still in my office talking to me?"
Jason left Lin's office
"If you will follow me." The butler said breaking Jason from his thoughts.
The group followed the butler into an indoor pool.
"Introducing Avatar Korra, Jason Todd, Azin, and Baani." The butler said as Pabu jumped into the water, followed by Bolin who yelled. "Earth Bending bomb!" Sending water to splash against Mako and Asami.
"Hey guys." Mako said.
"Glad you made it." Asami welcomed.
"Welcome, to paradise." Bolin said jumping out of the water before he began floating on his back.
"It looks like you guys settled right in." Korra said in a bored tone, trying to hide her displeasure.
Jason walked up and sat next to her and nudged her with his shoulder, a silent reminder to follow the plan.
"Pretty much." Mako said as Bolin let himself sink. "Except Someone forgot to ask her father if we could stay here."
"Yeah, but I smoothed it over with him." Asami said. "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission."
"Can we go swimming?" Baani asked.
"I don't know." Jason said. "CAN you go swimming?"
"Sure." Asami said. "Come on in, the waters great."
Azin and Banni jumped in as Bolin got out.
"This is THE greatest place in the world." Bolin said looking at Jason and Korra. "Watch this, watch this." He said standing at attention. "Fetch me my towel good sir."
"Yes, Master... Bolin." The butler said obviously not enjoying this part of his job.
"Master Bolin." Bolin said pointing at the Butler. "HA! I love this guy. Now pat me dry."
"As you wish." The butler said drying Bolin off as fast as he could.
"And don't forget Master Pabu." Bolin reminded.
"Wouldn't dream of it, sir." The butler said as he put the towel on Bolin's head where Pabu was sitting, and dried Pabu off. When he finished Pabu's fur fluffed up causing Pabu to squeak.
Bolin smiled and jumped back into the pool, and Jason could just tell that the Butler was pissed off by that.
Asami swam up to Korra and Jason and Korra spoke up.
"So, what do you have planned for us today? Lemme guess. Shopping? makeovers?"
Bolin jumped on Mako and pushed him under before he surfaced. "Ooh, ooh! I vote makeovers!" He yelled raising his hand.
Mako jumped on Bolin and pushed him under the water at the same time Baani yelled. "I want a makeover! Can I have a makeover!"
Asami laughed at Baani. "Of course, you can, but I had something a little more exciting in mind for us." She said looking at Korra causing Korra to shudder.
Jason looked from Korra to Asami, back to Korra. "Ya know." He whispered." If I didn't know any better. I'd think that you should just steal Asami to make Mako Jealous."
Korra looked at him with a: 'Help me out here.' Look.
"What did you have in mind Asami?" Jason asked looking at her. He moved his legs so no one could see how much Asami in a swimsuit was turning him on. Suddenly someone grabbed his legs and pulled him into the water. He broke the surface and looked around to see Bolin and Mako smiling at him with vicious smiles. "Oh." He spoke. "You wanna go?"
"No Bending!" Mako yelled just as Jason grabbed him, lifted him over his head, and slammed him into the water. He turned on Bolin and grabbed him before he threw him through the water and slammed him into Mako before he jumped above the water line and stood on it.
Korra and Asami stopped talking to stare at a thoroughly soaked Jason who shook his hair. Time slowed down for them, and they caught themselves practically drooling at him. He pulled the water from his clothes and dropped it into the pool.
"Hey Jason!?" Bolin said. "How were you able to move that fast in the water?"
"I'm stronger than the average person. My body is at peak human condition."
"How did that happen?"
"I did push-ups, sit-ups, and drank plenty of juice."
"Seriously?" Bolin asked jumping out of the pool and started doing push-ups.
"No. I died and was resurrected with a Lazarus pit."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Wh-what?" Bolin asked.
"Asami. What did you say you wanted to do?"
"I was telling Korra about the track where we race our Sato Mobiles. Want to come?"
"Do I! Let's go!"
They changed out of their swimwear and Asami led them to a racetrack. They stood in the stands and watched as Sato Mobiles were raced around a track that would make Nascar drool.
"Pretty cool huh?" Asami asked.
"Way cooler than a makeover." Korra said.
"This is where Future Industries test drive their Sato Mobiles.
"Two questions." Jason said.
"Shoot."
"Can I try out this track, and can you guys make me custom orders if I pay for it?"
"Do you think that you can?" Asami asked. "And so long as we know what you want, and can pay for it, I don't think it will be a problem."
"I can drive anything." Jason said. "Yes! Score!"
"What about you Korra?" Asami asked. "You ever been behind the wheel?"
"The only thing I know how to drive is a polar bear dog."
"Want me to take you for a spin?" Asami asked Korra.
Jason coughed hiding a laugh.
"Let's do it!" Korra said.
Jason wasn't fast enough to hide his laugh this time.
They went down to the starting line and Jason hopped into a Sato Mobil, and a second driver hopped in behind him while Korra and Asami hopped into a second Sato Mobile.
Asami looked at Jason who nodded at her. She nodded back and they looked forward.
A flagbearer waved his flag, and Jason floored the pedal to the floor causing the Sato Mobile to shoot off. He looked over to see that Asami had kept up with him, and they took the first turn together. Jason hit the gas and drifted around the second Corner before he straightened and put the car into gear before he shot off again.
In the stands Mako cheered for Asami while Azin and Baani cheered for Jason, and Bolin cheered for their friends.
Jason saw Asami catching up, so he let her get a little closer before he cut her off causing her to hit the brakes. He sped up because while he fought and played dirty, he wasn't an ass hole.
Asami switched gears and hit the gas before she tried getting around Jason's other side. The room for maneuverability was tight, but she was able to squeeze through and she pulled ahead ever so slightly.
Jason shifted gears and floored the accelerator before he gave Asami room, and they raced for the finish line. Jason's Sato Mobile began coughing, sputtering, and sparking before the engine erupted into flames. He froze the front of the car to cool the engine down long enough for him to cross the finish line.
"JASON!" Asami yelled to be heard over the wind. "GET OUT! THE SATO MOBILE IS GOING TO EXPLODE!"
Jason reached behind him and undid the Future Industries employee's crash harness and threw him into the air before he created a platform under him to catch him. Then he went back to driving. He and Asami crossed the finish line at the same time, and Jason undid his Crash Harness and went to jump, but his foot got caught and he landed leaning out of the Sato Mobile. He looked up to see that he was heading right for the pit and was going to crash into the garage. He got back in the driver's seat and floored the pedal before making a ramp.
He ramped over the garage and into the air before the Sato Mobile exploded.
"JASON!" Korra and Asami yelled.
A figure fell out of the sky and rolled into a three-point landing. "You called?" Jason asked looking only slightly ruffled.
"JASON!" Korra and Asami yelled as they ran to him. He Earth Bent a dome over them, and what was left of the Sato Mobile came crashing down on top of them.
Jason Earth Bent a doorway for them and they walked out of the earth dome.
"Well fuck." Jason said. "Looks like I found a fatal flaw in your Sato Mobiles."
"What's that?" Asami asked, shaken.
"They can't go over 80 miles an hour otherwise they explode. Also, that one was pulling a little to the right. You might want to check the Alignment to make sure it was only that one and not the entire inventory."
"Oh. Okay... HEY! YOU DON'T GET TO BLOW UP ONE OF MY SATO MOBILES, SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF KORRA AND I AND THEN CRITIQUE MY SATO MOBILE!"
"JASON!" Korra yelled. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU SURVIVE THAT EXPLOSION ANYWAY?"
"Well. If you will calm down, I'll tell you."
"TELL US!" They shouted in unison.
"Let me let this guy down first." Jason said Earth Bending the platform he'd created for the employee he'd thrown to safety down to the ground. "Now. What I did was when I launched myself into the air, I used Metal Bending to send the engine farther away and then jumped out using the Sato Mobile as a makeshift cover to get away safely."
"Oh." Korra said before she punched Jason. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" She yelled before she grabbed him and pulled him close to her face... "I really want to kiss you right now, but I have no idea how to." She whispered.
Jason took that as his cue and kissed her full on the lips causing her brain to short circuit.
Asami looked at Jason and Korra before looking at Mako. Would Mako ever kiss her like that?
They made sure that everyone was taken care of, cleaned up the mess, and put the track back to the way it was before they walked back to the house. On their way back Korra and Asami began talking.
"Ya know..." Kora began. "I thought you were really Prissy... no offense, but not anymore, not after today."
"Don't worry about it." Asami said. "I've been in self-defense classes since I was this high..." She held her hand up to about her mid-section. "...my dad wanted to make sure that I could always defend myself."
"Smart guy." Korra and Jason said in unison.
"Sorry." Jason said. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but your dad is a smart guy if he had you in self-defense classes that long. I mean, look at you. You have great looks, a killer body, any and every guy, and probably a few girls would do anything to get with you. Even if it meant not taking no for an answer."
"There have been a few close calls, but luckily I had my training to fall back on."
"Really. Mind if we go a few rounds some time?"
Asami raised an eyebrow.
"On the sparring mats of course."
"Of course." Asami said. "Sure. If you want to spar, I'll spar with you. We have a gym at my house we can use."
Baani pulled on Jason's sleeve and motioned for him to come down to her level. He dropped to a knee, and she whispered something into his ear.
"Baani would like to know when she can get a makeover."
Asami laughed. "We'll spar first and then go get makeovers."
"YAY!" Baani cheered.
They walked up to the house and the butler opened the door.
"Emergency!" Bolin yelled holding his crotch as he ran into the house. "Emergency! Coming through, Beep, Beep!" He ran through the house towards the bathroom.
"Uh. Is there another bathroom I can use?" Korra asked.
"We have a ladies powder room upstairs." Asami said as Mako came and put his hand on Asami's shoulder. "First door on your right, you can freshen up in there."
"Thanks." Korra said as she walked up the stairs.
Jason looked around. "Could I get some water?"
"Of course." Asami said. "Jagen, do you mind?"
"Of course, Mistress Asami."
Bolin came out of the bathroom while Jason waited for the glass of water. Jason took it when Jagen offered it. He chilled it to near freezing and downed it. "Thank you, sir, Jagen." He said politely. Alfred would have kicked his ass if he'd disrespected a butler or maid.
Jagen looked shocked. "No need for formalities sir." He spoke. "I am but a humble butler."
"But you are the machine that keeps this place running. You deserve some respect for that."
"Thank you, sir." Jagen said with a bow. "May I take your glass?"
"Would you mind coming back with the perfume?" Bolin asked.
"Of course, Master Bolin." Jagen said as his shoulders hunched in obvious disgruntlement.
Jason handed him his glass and turned to look at Mako. "Mako." He spoke.
"Yeah?" Mako asked a little unsure of Jason.
"Have you given any thought about what I said yesterday?"
"About treating Asami differently than I was?"
"Yeah."
"Um, yeah. I have. The thing is... I'm not entirely sure what you mean."
"Ay, ay, ay." Jason said. "Okay. This week, sometime. You Asami, Korra, and I are going to go out, and you will see what I mean. I may not look it, but I can actually be a gentleman if I break out a..."
Jason was cut off as Korra ran down the steps, her face looked a shade or two more pale than normal, and it looked... uneven? She also looked scared; she was breathing heavier than if she had just run down the stairs.
Bolin was being sprayed with Perfume by Jagen as Korra ran past them.
"You're leaving?" Asami asked. "But I thought..."
"I'm sorry." Korra said. "I just forgot that I have to air sit... I mean baby bend... I mean babysit the Airbender kids."
'That could be a legit excuse.' Jason thought. 'Or Korra found out something that scared her.' "Hey Korra." He called after her. He followed her outside and grabbed her shoulder. "What happened in there?"
"I overheard Hiroshi Sato say that: 'Now was the time to strike.'." Korra whispered.
"Okay. Go tell Lin. I'm going to stay here to see if I can find out anything else. Tell Lin that I'll give her my report tonight."
"Okay." Korra said before she left.
Jason went back inside.
"Is Korra all right?" Asami asked.
"Yeah." Jason lied easily. "She really did just forget about babysitting the Airbender kids and thought that Tenzin was going to be mad. I assured her that he wouldn't, and that if he did, Pema wouldn't let him stay mad for long. So. Where's the gym?"
Asami led them to a gym with some mats on the floor for sparring. Jason kicked his boots off and stood at one side of the mats while Asami took her boots off. Asami stepped to one side of the mats and swung her arms to loosen them.
Jason took his jacket off to reveal a t-shirt that was practically glued to him it was so tight and showed off his muscles and tossed it to the side where Baani and Bolin each caught a sleeve and glared at each other. Asami took her jacket off to show a bodice and a vest that gave off a great view of her arms and showed that her arms were pretty well defined. She tossed her jacket to Mako who caught it before she took off the vest leaving herself in a strapless bodice. She tossed her vest to Mako, and let her arms hang limply at her sides.
Jason noticed that she was waiting to see what he did. He circled one way. She went the other way. He made the first move, and faked an attack, she went to block, but wasn't prepared for him to drop and swipe her feet out from under her. She rolled into a crouch and kicked out at him. He moved and caught her leg before rolling backwards and putting pressure on her leg before she snapped her arm out at him, hitting him in the nose hard enough to make him let go, but not hard enough to break it. She pulled herself up and stretched her leg out before she jumped at him, but turned her kick into a spin, and brought her foot down on his shoulder. He grabbed her foot and threw her, but she spun in midair, and transferred her momentum into a kick that slammed into his chin making him step back. She landed in a three-point landing before she rushed him and jumped bringing her knee into his chin making his teeth click. He hit her in the stomach with a palm strike and sent her flying backwards before he rushed her and brought his foot down on her with an axe kick. She rolled out of the way and swiped his feet out from under him before she brought her fist down on his chest making him choke on air.
"Should they really be fighting this hard?" Bolin asked.
"Do you really think Jason is putting his all in this fight?" Azin asked.
"Well, yeah."
"Oh. Then you're going to have trouble when he actually starts trying."
"I'm sure they are just sparring with no intention of hurting each other." Mako said hopefully.
"You don't know Jason very well." Baani said. "He's just warming up."
Jason grabbed Asami's arm and threw her over him dislocating her shoulder in the process before he rolled to his feet. "Impressive." He spoke. "I haven't had a fight this good since... Well, I can't remember the last time I had a fight this good."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Asami said before she grabbed her arm, felt around for a bit before she placed her arm in a specific spot, and walked to the wall. She pressed her arm against the wall and pushed with all her might. She heard a pop and swung her arm. "Ready to continue?"
"Are you?" Jason asked.
"A real opponent wouldn't let me relocate my arm. I can fight for a bit longer."
Jason cracked his knuckles and smiled. "Then hell yeah I'm ready to keep fighting."
Asami ran at Jason and jumped in the air before raising her leg as far as she could and brought it down on Jason's head. Jason caught it in his arms and spun Asami, spinning her into the ground. He curb stomped her, but she rolled out of the way and to her knees before she lashed out, punching him in the crotch causing him to grunt, and fall to a knee.
Azin, Bolin, and Mako groaned in sympathy and grabbed their respective crotches.
"I-I am so sorry." Asami said. "I didn't..."
"It's fine." Jason wheezed before he stood up and walked around.
'I hit him harder than I meant to, how is he able to walk around after a hit like that? He should be on the ground writhing in pain.'
Jason took in several deep breathes before he carefully sat down.
"Are you okay Jason?" Baani asked.
"Yeah." He spoke. "I think this is a good time to talk about the differences between fighting dirty and fighting smart."
The others gathered around him, and he looked at them. "Who knows the difference between fighting dirty and fighting smart?"
"Fighting dirty is using cheap shots to win a fight." Mako said.
"Wrong. Anyone else?"
Everyone looked at him before Asami spoke up.
"Fighting dirty is when there are rules for a fight, and you break one of those rules to win. Fighting smart is when you do whatever it takes to survive. Of course, fighting dirty and fighting smart are thrown out the window in a 'no holds barred' fight."
"Exactly." Jason said. "So, who can give me some examples of fighting smart?"
"I could Earth Bend rock gloves around my arms." Azin said.
"I could freeze water around MY arms." Baani said.
"Yes. What else?"
"I could... I, could... What else could I do?"
"You could kick, claw, bite, rip, tear, use every advantage you have, but only do this in a life and death situation. If it's just a casual spar, just fight normally."
"I am so sorry." Asami said.
"No worries, just make sure that the next time you punch a guy in the dick, he actually deserves it."
"I will."
"Can we do makeovers now?" Baani asked.
"I agree with Baani!" Bolin said. "Let's do makeovers!"
"Come on." Asami said. "Jason. You, Azin, and Mako can be the judges, and we can make a day out of it with what's left of the day."
"Okay." Jason said.
They left the gym and headed to Asami's walk in closet. They brought chairs in from the hall, and Azin, Jason, and Mako sat in the chairs while Asami, Baani, and Bolin walked into the closet.
They waited thirty minutes before Baani walked out wearing a blue dress, that she had to hold up, but it still dragged the ground. She wore makeup, and her nails were done in a shade of blue, and she was wearing a pair of high heels that were just a little too big for her, so every step made them click against her heel. She walked up to them before turning around and walked away.
They gave her applause that made her blush before smiling, and she disappeared into the closet.
They waited forty-five minutes before Bolin stepped out wearing a green dress that looked like it's seams were about to pop if he fell wrong. He wore a pair of green pumps and makeup, and his fingernails were painted green. He walked towards them and turned around. Jason covered Azin's eyes so he didn't see Bolin's back, and the three burst into fits of laughter and wolf whistles as Bolin sauntered away with more confidence than a man in heels should have.
They applauded as he disappeared into the closet and waited for half an hour until the closet door opened and Asami walked out wearing a black evening gown with a slit going up one side. She glided towards them, and they could see the makeup that looked like it had been done by a couple of novices. Her nails were a red so dark it looked black, but also looked like they had been done by amateurs. On her feet she wore a pair of sandals that made her feet look like they belonged on a Greek goddess.
She walked towards them and looked at each of them as if she was looking into their very souls. She turned around and showed that the dress was backless as she glided back to the closet. She disappeared into the closet and the three looked at each other.
"Holy fuck." Jason Said.
"I'm the luckiest guy in the world." Mako said.
"Guys." Azin said. "I think I just lost my virginity."
Jason and Mako looked at him before they started laughing.
"No." Jason gasped wiping a tear from his eye. "No, you didn't."
"I guess it's time for the talk." Mako laughed.
"What's so funny?" Bolin asked as he walked out of the closet, still wearing the makeup and finger nail polish.
"Azin thinks he lost his virginity just by looking at Asami." Jason laughed harder.
Asami blushed. "While I thank you for the compliment, Azin." She said coming out of the closet. "I'm pretty sure that's not one of my skills.
"What's not one of your skills?" Baani asked coming out the closet.
"Taking Virginity with a look."
"What's virginity?"
"Yup." Jason said. "Guess they need to hear the talk."
"I'll give Baani the talk." Asami said. You three can give Azin the talk."
"Sounds Good." Jason said as he led Azin, Bolin, and Mako back to the gym.
An hour and a half later Asami led a dazed looking Baani into the gym. She noticed that Azin looked like his entire life had been a lie. "What did you guys tell him?" She asked.
"I told him the truth." Jason said. "The whole truth and nothing but the truth."
"What did you tell him."
"I told him that his body has gone through changes so that he doesn't think girls, or boys if that's how he rolls, aren't as gross as he might have thought they were, and that now he's going to be a lot more attracted to them. I told him that when two people love each other a lot they can show how they feel about each other by having sex. Then I went into detail about what sex is, the five different types of sex, that a man and a woman can have sex, that two men can have sex, that two women can have sex, and that it doesn't have to be love that drives two people to have sex, it can be a spur of the moment where they need to release sexual tension. I also told him that there is consensual sex which is what you want to go for because nonconsensual sex or rape is wrong. I told him that if he finds himself needing to release sexual tension at home to put a sock on the door, and then told him how to do it. I also told him that there are brothels that offer sex for anyone. I told him not to go there because that's the easiest way to get a sexually transmitted disease, and that when he finds his partner of choice to at least tell someone so they know and can help him in case he needs it. Finally, I told him to use protection if he plans on having multiple partners or he isn't ready to have a kid."
Asami watched in increasing horror as Jason recounted his story of how he handled the talk with Azin and thanked the spirits that Baani hadn't been given the talk by him. "Oh my gosh." She said pinching the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger. "What the hell were you thinking? You were supposed to get his feet wet, not drop an ocean of information on him!"
"Well, Sue me." Jason said. "From the way I saw it, he needed to be thrown feet first into the ocean since he's already 17."
"You traumatized him."
"Hey Azin." Jason said. "Did I traumatize you?"
"I don't know. I have so many questions, but I don't think I could handle anymore."
"See. You traumatized him."
"Asami didn't even tell me half of that." Baani said.
"Well, you've still got a few years to figure this stuff out. Azin doesn't."
"Okay."
"Excuse me Mistress Asami." Jagen said. "Dinner is served."
"Thank you, Jagen. Is there enough for Jason and his family?"
"You didn't have to." Jason said. "We can buy something on our way home."
"Of course, Mistress."
"Let's eat." Asami said.
They walked to the kitchen and sat down at the massive table.
"So, Jason." Hiroshi Said. "Why don't you tell me a little about yourself and how you know my daughter?"
"I suppose you could say that I met Asami by accident." Jason said.
Asami blushed.
"I was walking to the Police Station when she almost hit me with a Sato Mobile."
"Again, sorry." She spoke.
"Don't worry. It's not the first time I've been hit or almost hit by a Sato Mobile, and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last."
They looked at him skeptically.
"Asami." Hiroshi scolded lightly. "You have to be more careful. You are an example for Future Industries. You pave the path for our future."
"I understand dad."
"I worry about you, and I want you to be safe."
"I will be."
They were just about to start eating when the door opened.
"I'm terribly sorry." Jagen said. "But Chief Beifong, Councilman Tenzin, and Avatar Korra are here to see you Master Hiroshi."
"Korra?" Mako asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I overheard Hiroshi say that the Cabbage Corp investigation bought him time and they were ready to strike. Explain that!"
Hiroshi laughed. "This is all just a misunderstanding resulting from the Avatar's overactive imagination. My number one competitor was knocked out of the game. It's provided me an opportunity to strike the market with a new line of Sato Mobiles."
The way Hiroshi said Strike sent shivers up Jason's spine. Lin caught the way he shivered and saved that for later to ask him about it.
"It's just business..." Hiroshi said. "...nothing nefarious."
Lin and Tenzin looked at each other before looking back at Hiroshi.
"In order to put all suspicions to rest..." Tenzin said. "...Might we have a look at your factories and warehouses?"
Asami huffed, but Hiroshi put a hand in front of her.
"If you feel that it's necessary, then you're welcome to search ALL of Future Industries."
"Would you object to me posting officers outside your Future Industries sites?" Lin asked. "Just as a precaution? Someone could try and plant evidence tonight."
"Or you're just worried that we'll destroy any evidence." Asami scoffed.
"We are innocent." Hiroshi said. "Letting them post guards and search our factory and warehouse will prove that."
"Thank you, Mr. Sato." Lin said. "We will see you tomorrow. Please, enjoy your dinner." With that, Lin, Korra, and Tenzin left the Sato Mansion.
"Please, continue." Hiroshi said.
They finished their meal in silence, and Jason, Azin, and Baani headed back to their house after that. They were halfway there when they were surrounded.
"Lookie here." A voice said. "Are you Benders or Non-Benders?"
"Which one gets us out of here without a fight?" Jason asked.
"Wrong answer." The voice said before swinging something at Jason. Jason caught it, and a shock went through his body causing him to fall to his knees.
"JASON!" Azin and Baani yelled as he fell face first into the ground.
"Tie him up." The first voice said. "Then take them. I'm sure that Amon will be happy that we brought more Benders to be purified."
"Um yeah." A feminine voice said. "I'm going to have to stop you right there."
"Who the hell are you?" A second voice said.
There was the sound of a blur and grunts before Jason was picked up. "Follow me." The voice said before it carried Jason away. When they were far enough away from the thugs the voice spoke up. "Where do you guys live?"
"Over here." Baani said leading the way.
They walked for a while until they stopped, and someone opened the door.
"Aren't you coming in?" Baani asked.
"You have to invite me in first." The voice said. "I can't enter a house otherwise."
"Oh. Would you like to come in?"
"Yes. Thank you very much." The voice said carrying Jason over the threshold and sitting him down in a chair. "He'll be fine in the morning. Just make sure that he doesn't do anything too strenuous, otherwise he could be really injure himself."
As if on cue Jason jolted and sat up straight. "Whoa!" He spoke. "What the hell!"
"How!" The voice asked.
Jason turned to stare at the owner of the voice and saw a woman of average height with an athletic build, her hair was reddish-brown, and pulled back in a braid. She wore a turquoise shirt, brown pants, calf high boots, and fingerless gloves. On her waist she wore a utility belt with daggers on either side.
"Hello." He spoke.
"Hello." She replied.
"Thank you, for stepping in when you did."
"You're welcome. Though I have to ask. How did you recover so quickly?"
"The short answer. I heal fast."
"And what's the long answer?"
"It's a long story and I've got to be somewhere in ten minutes."
"Tell me on the way. I don't know how you were able to recover so quickly, and I don't like not knowing something."
"Fine. Let me tell Korra and Halo, and we can go."
"Fine."
Jason walked up the stairs and saw a sock on the doorknob to Halo's room. He kept walking to Korra's room and knocked. "Hey Korra. You in there?"
The door opened and he saw Korra standing in the door wearing her pants and a bra. "I was just getting ready for bed." She spoke. "Did you want to join me?"
Jason mentally slapped himself. "As much As I want to say yes. No. Not because you're not attractive, because let me tell you, you're very attractive, but because I'm almost ten years older than you, and every relationship I've ever been in has failed, but also I have work to do tonight, and as..."
He was cut off when Korra kissed him causing his brain to vacate his head.
"Go on then." She spoke.
Jason turned around robotically and walked down the stairs. "Let's go." He told the woman. "Be good for Korra." He told Azin and Baani.
"Yes daaad." Azin snarked.
They left the house and Jason started walking towards Future Industries.
"So." The woman said. "Spill."
"Tell me your name first. As much as you hate not knowing something, I hate working with someone I don't know."
"Very well. My name is Lara. I am the daughter of Ta Mari and an unknown father. My mother was the daughter of Ty Lee, and thanks to my mother I am incredibly fast, agile, strong, and my reflexes are incredible. According to my mother I have my father's intellect, and his peak physical condition."
"Well, alrighty then." Jason said.
"I've told you about me, now spill."
"Fine. I'm not from around here. My dad was a gang member who tried turning his life around when he found out that my mother was pregnant with me, but he got involved with the wrong guy. He went to prison for that bastard and left my mom alone to try and take care of me. Unfortunately shit hit the fan and I ended up on the streets. That is, until he found me." Jason said with venom behind his words. "He trained me to fight criminals, and I did, but he said that I was too violent. He took me off duty until I wasn't so reckless, but I followed him. I thought that I could take down the worst monster to ever set foot on the world... I was wrong. That monster tortured and killed me, but I came back."
"How did you come back? Explain."
"I was sent into a pool of water called the Lazarus Pit. It has the effect of healing a person, but they weren't sure if it would bring someone back from the dead. I was their Guinea pig. I came back different. Angry; but that wasn't all. I also came back better. As far as I know I was brought back to the peak of human physical condition. My Speed, my strength, my reflexes. All of it was increased to be at peak physical condition, but my mind was also altered. I knew things. Tactics, strategy, I knew things that I hadn't known before. Thanks to my dip in the Lazarus Pit, I was smarter. Not a genius or anything, but I was smarter, and I could think clearer than I'd ever thought before."
"What happened next?"
"I trained like you wouldn't believe. I was given teachers to teach me how to be an expert in hand-to-hand combat, weapons combat, espionage, sabotage, explosives, any and all vehicles. I learned so much, but then I found out that he hadn't killed him, and worse than that. He took on a replacement. That ass hole replaced me. I trained to kill them, but what I realized was that it would be better for me to make him kill the monster. He'd let that filth plague the world for too damn long, and he needed to right that wrong."
"So, what did you do?"
"I went back home, and I took over the crime in the city. For once criminals actually had something to fear. They weren't afraid that he would throw them in prison. They were afraid that I would kill them."
"Did you?"
"Yes. I killed so many of them that they called in professional killers."
"So, what happened?"
"He showed up and helped me."
"I thought you hated him."
"I did. I knew he would show up. I was counting on it. He showed up and we fought them until I killed one of them. Then the criminals called in the big guy. The guy I was hoping they would call. They called him in, and I took him somewhere where I beat the ever living shit out of him, just like he'd done with me. Then I led him to the place where I forced him to confront the reality. I told him that he had a choice. Kill the monster who'd killed me, or I'd kill both of them."
"Did you?"
"No. He'd stepped up his game, and he was better prepared. If anything, my death taught him to be over prepared."
"So, what did you do?"
"I went and did more training. Formed a new group, fought other people, and when I came back, I'd changed. I learned how to be a better crime fighter. I used non-lethal methods of stopping criminals, and I formed a new team. Then I found out about the man who'd exploited my dad, and I went there with the intention to kill him. As far as I know I did."
"So, were you banished to republic city?"
"Yes."
"I see."
They walked in silence a few more minutes before Lara spoke up again.
"Despite the fact that you have killed people in the past, I have come to a conclusion."
"What is it?"
"You, Jason Todd, are a good person."
"I don't know if I'd go that far."
"I would." A new voice said jumping from a tree.
They looked at the owner of the voice to see Montgomery standing in front of them.
Lara ran around him before she ran back to Jason's side. "You smell heavily of Fornication, and Fire Bending. Conclusion. You were having sexual intercourse with a Fire Bender."
"Damn you're good." Montgomery said. "Can you tell what we were doing?"
"Not without a further, much more in depth examination. However, I can tell you that the Fire Bender you were involved with is pregnant, and from the smell of her hormones, she is... fast approaching her birthdate."
"How can you even tell that?" Montgomery asked.
"I have my father's intelligence. My mother says that he knew when she was ready to birth me before she did."
"Weird, but okay. So. What are we doing?"
"I'm going to Future Industries to look around. See if they are hiding something."
"Then let's go." Montgomery said.
"Shouldn't you be with Halo?" Jason asked.
"Shouldn't you be with Korra, making her scream your name?" Montgomery countered.
"I concur." Lara said. "Your heart rate was elevated, and you were aroused after you came back from talking with Korra. You could have stayed."
"I have a job to do."
"Fine. Let's get this over with so you and Korra can get on with the horizontal love dance."
Jason went red. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"I'm not with the woman I fell in love with yesterday."
"You just met Halo. How can you love her after two days of sex?"
"You misunderstand. Sex is two people just trying to pass the time. We were making love."
"How do you know it's not her hormones?" Lara asked. "Pregnant women have hormones."
"Isn't having sex with a pregnant woman bad for the baby?" Jason asked.
"No." Lara said. "Actually, it can have many advantages to her mental, emotional, and physical health, and can have a positive effect on the baby. If the mother is happy and healthy, the baby will be happy and healthy."
"What, are you studying to be a doctor or something?" Jason asked.
"No. I am a doctor."
Jason's lower jaw hit the sidewalk. "What the hell! How can you be a doctor? You can't be older than eighteen!"
"It is impolite to ask a woman her age, but seeing as I do not understand that I will tell you. My name is Lara, I am 26 years old, I am 5' 5", I weigh 126 LBS, my measurements are 30X26X36."
"Damn!" Montgomery said looking at Lara. "You got hit with the ass jackpot if your ass is that big."
"I do not understand your excitement. Everyone has a, to use your vulgar choice of words, an ass. What makes mine so special that you have to call it out?"
"You didn't get fucked in high school, did you?"
"If you are asking if I had intercourse in high school then the answer is no., I graduated high school at age 10, graduated College as a med student at age 17, and was a licensed doctor by age 21."
"Holy fuck." Jason Said. "I thought you were from this world. Does that mean that you aren't?"
"Hell no!" Montgomery said. "You remember that I said that I'm the biggest nerd where I'm from? It wasn't an exaggeration. I come from a world where knowledge is power, and I found out how to travel to alternate dimensions and universes."
"How?"
"Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Side of Dimensions gave me the idea."
"My father came to this world where he met my mother. He loved her, but he chose her to be my mother after he saw that she had the specific training he wanted me to learn. Then he taught me everything that he could, and when I finished my training, he took me back to his world where I took a placement test that told me I was best suited for high school. I graduated and went to college before becoming a doctor."
"How are you here?" Jason asked. "Shouldn't you be in a hospital?"
"I am. My father taught me how to replicate myself. I did so, and my replica is working in the hospital when I'm here."
"Wait. You know how to jump between dimensions too?"
"Yes. Mine is a bit different though. Once my clone disappears, I appear in its place and have all of its memories, so I know what I've missed and get caught up on everything. My clones also keep me sexually healthy. You should really be having sexual intercourse regularly. Otherwise, it could lead to problems." She looked at Jason.
"What?" He asked.
"Have you been sexually active?"
"That's not something you ask someone!"
"Well, I am a doctor, and I can be the doctor for this group, and your family."
"Have you ever delivered a baby?" Montgomery asked.
"Only about a dozen or so."
"Will you deliver Halo's when it's time?"
"If Halo doesn't give birth while you two are involved, yes."
Jason rubbed his head. "What the fuck even is my life anymore?"
"Oh, get over yourself." Montgomery said. "This is great. We've got a real Team now. We've got Jason who's the Tanky powerhouse, me who's the support specialist, and Lara who's the Support healer. Now. Let's go do whatever it is Jason needs help doing!"
Jason jumped through an open window and walked through the factory. He walked up the stairs and to an office. He picked the lock and walked through the door. He went to Hiroshi's desk and checked it. The doors were locked. He picked them.
"Oh, come on man." Montgomery said. "Are you really going to look through another man's desk? What if he has a one hundred- and fifty-year-old bottle of Scotch in there, or what if that's where he keeps his dirty magazines?"
"Please." Lara said. "Why would he keep his porn at work?"
"There is a reason why they have the acronym NSFW." Jason said. "Someone did it, so they had to make it a rule."
"Fair point."
They looked through Hiroshi's desk and found plans.
"Holy shit!" Montgomery said. "He's got plans for Underwater Mines, Bi-Planes, Mecha tanks. What is this guy planning?"
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he's planning something big." Lara said.
"Shit Sherlock, first name no." Jason said. "Let's see... What's this?"
"What is it?" Montgomery asked.
"Platinum. It says that his Mecha Tanks are made out of Platinum... Why?"
"You mean you don't know that Platinum isn't Bendable?"
"What? No!"
"Well yeah. You can't Metal Bend Platinum, it's too pure. You can only Super heat it, but your fire needs to be like four thousand degrees."
"Damn. Looks like I need to see how hot my fire is."
"Well let's go to the Pro-Bending Arena and run some tests."
"Okay. I want to check this place out some more."
"wouldn't you rather be checking out Korra?" Montgomery asked.
"Fuck off." Jason said before he walked through the Factory. He walked around the Perimeter and checked the walls.
"What are you looking for?" Lara asked.
"Any seams that could be secret tunnels."
Meanwhile in the afterlife.
"NO!" Sokka yelled as he woke up in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" Suki asked waking up.
"Nothing." Sokka said. "Just a bad dream."
"How about I put on some music to help you get back to sleep?"
"Okay." Sokka said. "Let me shower first."
"Mind if I join you?" She asked.
"Not at all." He spoke.
They got up and went to the bathroom, after they showered and changed into clean sleepwear they slid into bed. Suki started the Phonograph, and that music started playing...
"Two lovers..."
Sokka facepalmed and pulled Suki closer.
"Good night Sokka." Suki said.
"Good night, Suki." Sokka said before he fell asleep.
Jason kept looking for secret tunnels.
"Why don't you try using your Ground Penetrating sonar?" Lara asked.
"Because he could be penetrating Korra." Montgomery said.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Jason yelled sending a lightning bolt at Montgomery.
Montgomery glowed red and blue before the lightning bolt hit and he flexed. "Oh! Hell yeah! That's the good shit!"
"What the hell just happened?"
"You just recharged me. Thank you Izzet technology."
"Can't you be useful?"
"Well. I suppose that I could summon the Autobots to help, but republic City isn't ready for 20-foot robots."
"Wait. What?"
"Yeah. There is a universe in this crazy Multiverse that is your life where you team up with robots to defend the world."
"Do I get one of the robots?"
"You get four technically. Two that are your signature pistols that can combine to form a sniper rifle, one that makes up your helmet and jacket, and your ride which has three modes. Robot, car and motorcycle, and plane. The motorcycle is the head, and the car is the body."
"What the hell! Can you bring them here?"
"Not without starting a paradox."
"A Paradox?"
"Yes. You see. You and the other Yous can't meet unless certain circumstances are met."
"Like what, the Multiverse imploding?"
"Yes. If the Multiverse were to be in danger, you and the other Yous could meet up and protect the Multiverse. If you were to meet in any other circumstance... those worlds would die. One would implode because the conditions have not been met, and two of you exist in the same world. The other universe would die because you are not there to protect it. Believe it or not you play a very important part in keeping the universes you are sent to alive."
"What makes me so special? I'm just a kid from Gotham."
"It's not you necessarily. It's what you represent."
"What do I represent in the Multiverse?"
"You represent the strength and resilience to fight and survive."
"You do realize that I died, right?"
"But you came back from the dead. No matter how you come back, you came back. You have withstood everything that was thrown at you and you survive. That is what you stand for. The determination and the will to survive and fight. Do you have any idea how big of a roll you play in each universe you go to?"
"No. Not really."
"Let me just say this. If not for you. The universes would end a lot different, and for the worse. You are the linchpin."
"Yeah right."
"You don't believe me?"
"Not really."
"Thanks to you, Lin knows that they will be walking into a trap tomorrow. Thanks to you... Nope. I can't say that. It might not happen if I do."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I can't tell you. Otherwise, it might not happen, and it needs to happen for the future of this world."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Nope. I'm leaving. Montey has left the building."
With that Montey walked through a doorway and disappeared.
"What the hell do you think that was about?" Jason asked.
"I don't know..." Lara said. "... but I'm going to find out." She ran at the door Montgomery walked through and disappeared too."
"What the fuck is happening!?" Jason demanded.
Meanwhile, in Montgomery's room.
"Care to explain what that was all about?" Lara asked.
"Not particularly."
"Do it anyway."
"Fine, but do not tell Jason, Asami, Korra, or Halo."
"Fine. Now tell me."
"Okay, okay." Montgomery said running his hand through his hair. "So, Jason gets captured in the next few years."
"And we can't tell him that, why?"
"Because. His two options are get captured or die."
"Or just not confronting what would capture or kill him."
"Not possible. Either he will meet and get captured, meet them and die, they confront him and capture him, or confront him and kill him. That is the only way this can end."
"Okay. So, why is that important, and why can't we tell Asami, Korra, and Halo?"
"Because. They will try and make it so that it doesn't happen."
"And that's a bad thing?"
"Normally I would say no, but in this instance it is."
"Why?"
"Because. So much has changed because of Jason being involved. Halo, her child, Azin, Baani, us. It's all different. Do you realize how one sided we make everything?"
"Us as in the two of us, or us in general?"
"In general. We make the most O.P. teams ever. We've got Team Avatar with Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami. We've got Team Red Hood with Jason, Me, You, and Halo. And we've got the Teen Team with Azin, Baani, Halo's, Korra's and Asami's kids... You didn't hear that."
"Yes, I did."
"Damn it!" Montgomery yelled as he glowed black, and Lara swayed before she stood up. "What part of a peak mental intelligence don't you get? I was able to reroute the information to another part of my brain. I still remember."
"Fuck! Don't tell anyone! Don't tell Jason, don't tell Korra, Asami, or Halo... well, NO! Don't even tell Halo. Don't tell anyone about the Teen Team! Please!"
"No promises, but I do have a question."
"What?"
"What about me? Don't I have a child the joins the Teen Team? Stupid name by the way."
"Well, I'm sorry, but Teen Titans and Young Justice were already taken!"
"And you are supposed to have creation magic. Why not just use that to make up a new name?"
"Copyright laws."
"Wow. I pity you right now. But you didn't answer my question. Do I have a child in this world?"
"Not that I've seen. Don't you view things scientifically?"
"Logically, but yes; and it's logical to have a child. I swing both ways."
"You do?"
"Yes. Logically it's the best way to go because men offer the ability to procreate and can offer some pleasure, and women because they know how to be gentle and can offer so much more."
"Unless they are abusive or into BDSM."
"I'll have you know that BDSM is actually very stress relieving and offers more trust into the relationship than any other relationships. You have to trust that your partner will not hurt you more than you can handle and trust them to stop if you use your safe word. There is also a great deal of trust when they use a gag that they will not go over the amount of pain you two discussed."
"What?"
"Oh, and one more thing. There are Dominators and Dominatrixes. Which means that both men and women take up the roll of Master and Mistress. I've spent time with both of them."
"How do you have the time?"
"Clones. As I said. It is very stress relieving to have all of your burdens ripped away from you as another dominates you for an hour."
Montgomery tried not to imagine Lara tied up in shiny black leather that left her most sensitive regions exposed for someone to abuse... and he failed.
"You know." Lara said. "I might have to steal Asami from Mako myself."
"You could do a three-way relationship with them?" Montgomery suggested.
"No. Mako is... how should I say this?"
"An ass?"
"No."
"A bitch?"
"No."
"A..."
"It's a person who wants what they want no matter who else gets hurt so long as they are please or satisfied. Someone who will fuck their partner and stop once they have had their release while not letting their partner have theirs even if it means that they have to finish as fast as they can, and they lie about letting them have release next time only to not give it to them."
"A manipulative ass hole?"
"Manipulative! Yes! Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Yes. Mako is manipulative and would not satisfy me. Neither would Bolin, though that's not his fault. He's too naive. I would have to teach him how to please me, and by the time I had finished I wouldn't be aroused anymore. No. I need someone who will be able to satisfy me for long periods of time. Someone who can be rough if I want him to. Someone who will give me a strong child..."
"So, you're going to ask Jason to knock you up?" Montgomery asked.
Lara glared at him before she continued speaking. "Someone who isn't a Bender."
"Why don't you want to be knocked up by a Bender?"
"Because. They hold the Genetic code to being able to Bend. I intend to study my child in a capacity to see if Amon is right, and Bender's are the route of all evil. So, I will birth a child who will grow up alongside other Benders and see what happens."
"You're going to experiment on your own kid?"
"No. I'm going to observe my child to see if non-Benders truly are treated worse than Benders. What better way than to let them grow up with friends who are Benders and non-Benders and live in a society of Benders and non-Benders. Now all that's left to do is find the male specimen who will give me his seed to accomplish my goal..." She looked at Montgomery. "... oh look. A volunteer."
"Um..." Montgomery said before he ran only to fall limply to the floor.
"Please do not make this harder than it has to be."
"You do realize that if you do this, it could fall under rape or non-consent, right?"
"I will wait for your consent. It is only logical that two people, alone in this hectic world would need to find solace with one another."
"Except I already have Halo."
"I need a non-Bender, preferably not from this world, to give me his seed so that I can conduct my experiment. I will wait, but I am sure that I can make you give consent, without even touching you, in five minutes."
"I'll make a deal with you. If I give you, my consent. I get to go back to Halo, and you have to win Asami over after Mako dumps her the first time, but you have to help me later on."
"What do you need my help for."
"Nothing much. Just convince Asami that you want to have a kid with her and convince her to use Jason as the baby daddy."
"Why Jason specifically."
"Do you really want to be raising Mako's kid?"
"Fair point. Do I have your permission?"
"Yeah. Fine. I'll knock you up."
"Excellent." Lara said as she hit the right pressure points to unfreeze Montgomery. "Where would you like to do this?
Jason grumbled to himself and kept looking. He was just about to call it a night when he sensed something coming from behind a wall. He touched it and felt the warmth rise off of it. Even through his fire proofing he could feel heat. He ripped the panel off the wall and saw a hidden factory under the factory. He looked around and saw vats of molten metal being dumped into molds to create pieces of something. It wasn't a Sato-Mobile that was for sure.
He grappled down and began walking through the heat, and he had an idea. He could create a mist out of the water vapor in the air. Why couldn't he do the same thing here? He pulled the steam around him and walked through the factory hidden by the steam. He made his way to a big ass door and rolled it up. It led to a tunnel.
He followed the tunnel until he nearly ran into another door, almost literally. He put his ear to the door and listened.
"That's right." Hiroshi Sato said on the other side. "Tomorrow I want you to tell the Police the truth. Lead them here, and we will crush them once and for all. They will fall before the might of our Mecha-Tanks."
"Yes sir Mr. Sato."
"One other thing. Leave my daughter out of this. I don't want her anywhere near this fight."
"Sure thing Mr. Sato." The man said.
Jason took off running. He needed to spring the trap tomorrow. He needed help. If he fucked up like he did at the Agni Kai's... Well. He was pretty sure that Hiroshi wasn't going to let him live so long as Asami became pregnant with his child. He ran back to the factory and closed the door. He ran to the ledge and vaulted up before he pushed the panel back into place and smoothed it out. He memorized where it was and was about to leave the factory when he remembered Montgomery and Lara. He ran through the door they went through and found... an empty office.
"Did they leave without me?" He ran through the factory but couldn't find them. He jumped out a window and swung to the police station.
Lin was sitting at her desk finishing up the paperwork for the search of Future Industries the following day when someone swung through the open window and landed on her desk.
"It's a trap." Jason said.
"Get off my desk and tell me what you mean!" She snapped.
Jason jumped off her desk and looked at her. "It's a trap."
"Explain."
"I went and searched Future Industries. I found plans that Hiroshi has in his office. He is planning something big. He has plans for underwater mines, bi-planes, and Mecha-Tanks."
"Okay?"
"That's not all. The Mecha-Tanks are made out of Platinum."
"Platinum! Are you sure?"
"Yes, and that's not all. I found a hidden factory in his factory."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. They were making the Mecha-Tanks, and I found a tunnel that led to somewhere. Hiroshi was saying that he needed someone to lead you guys to that spot, and you would fall."
"Okay. Good work. I'll see you tomorrow for the raid."
"Actually chief. I was hoping that I could lead a second group through the tunnel to your Location, and strike from behind. They'll never see it coming."
"You might be right. Okay. Meet here for the raid, and then go your route."
"Right. See you tomorrow chief."
"See you Red Hood."
Jason swung out the window with his grapples and home. When he walked in, he walked up the stairs and heard soft, heavy breathing coming from Halo's room. He walked to the door and listened. "Halo." He knocked.
"Y-Ye-Yes?" Halo asked.
"Are you okay?"
"N-not really."
"What's wrong?"
"The baby is just really active. I can't sleep."
"May I come in?"
"Y-yes."
Jason went in and saw Halo sitting on her bed, against the wall with pillows propping her up and rubbing her swollen stomach. "Did you drink coffee before you went to bed?"
"Y-yes."
"That's probably why. The caffeine probably supercharged the kid."
"I'm never drinking coffee while pregnant again." She spoke. "Where's Montey?"
"I'm not sure. He came with me to the factory I was investigating, and then he just split."
"Oh. He probably went home for the night."
"Halo?"
"Y-yes?"
"I know that what we had was strictly business, but do you love Montgomery, or is it just your hormones talking?"
"I don't know. Right now, it's just the hormones, but after I give birth, I want to see if what we have is real."
"Okay."
Halo pushed herself against the wall and groaned out in pain.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"I don't know, but it hurts, a lot."
Jason looked out the window. "Montgomery." He spoke. "If you can hear me..."
"AHH!" Halo screamed.
"Get your ass over here now."
Korra came running in. "What's going on!" She demanded.
"I think Halo is going into Labor!" Jason snapped.
"Then I guess it's a good thing I'm here." Montgomery said walking through the door followed by Lara.
"Lay her down." Lara said in a calm, commanding tone. "I'll deliver the baby here. Unless Montgomery here would like to fuck her through her labor."
"Is that even possible?" Korra asked.
"Technically, but that would be awkward as hell."
"Hey!" Montgomery yelled indignantly. "I..."
"MONTEY!" Halo shouted. "EITHER FUCK ME OR LEAVE!"
Everyone looked from Montgomery to Halo back to Montgomery.
"3...2...1." Jason said before he grabbed Korra and they left the room.
"What's going on?" Azin asked as he and Baani walked out of their rooms.
"Let's go downstairs." Jason said.
They headed downstairs and to the kitchen where Jason closed the door as best, he could before he put some coffee onto perk.
"So." Korra said. "That was awkward."
"Yeah." Jason agreed.
"Jason!" Lara called. "I need clean towels, hot water, and a wooden spoon or something equivalent."
Jason grabbed the pan filled it with hot water and carried it upstairs while using his fire to heat it.
Korra ran to the linens closet and grabbed all the towels they had, plus extra sheets.
Azin and Baani brought all of the cooking spoons upstairs. As they crested the stair, they heard Halo yell. "IF YOU PUT THAT FUCKING BRIDLE IN MY MOUTH, I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE!"
"A bridle?" Lara asked. "Why didn't I think of that? Give it to me."
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM..." Halo yelled before she began growling.
"There. That should help, with the noise at least. Now. Montgomery. Get the fuck out of here. Jason can come in since he's the father, you on the other hand will probably do more harm than good."
Montgomery left and looked at Jason. "She wants you in there."
"I heard." Jason said walking in.
Montgomery looked at Korra, Azin, and Baani. "Hey." He spoke.
"Hello?" Korra said before she walked in and placed the towels and sheets on the dresser and left.
Jason walked in with the water and placed it on the floor. He looked at Lara. "What do you want me to do?"
"Korra! Do you have any training in being a healer in any capacity!"
"I can wipe sweat away!"
"Get in here! I need you to wipe sweat away, and I need you to use the hot water to wipe her stomach, Vagina, and thighs."
"What!"
"Just do it! It will relax her muscles and help activate her body's natural pain killers!"
Something flew at them, and Jason caught it.
"It's a numbing agent!" Montgomery yelled. "It's better than using some archaic outdated method."
"Were in the 1920's!" Lara yelled. "Their biggest breakthrough was Penicillin!"
"Use that!"
Lara took the bottle from Jason and began rubbing the numbing agent on Halo's stomach, vagina, and thighs. "How long does it take to kick in."
"3... 2...1...now."
Halo's groans of pain were replaced with moans of displeasure.
"Thank you 50th century." Montgomery said.
"Okay." Lara said. "Jason. You need to try and keep Halo calm. Halo. I need you to wait, breathe, and push when the time comes."
"What about a C-section?" Jason asked.
"Not here. If I was in a hospital yes, but not here. Everyone hold on. We're going to be here for a while."
"How long?" Korra asked.
"Halo. Is this your first pregnancy?"
"Uh huh." She grunted.
"We could be here for up to twenty-four hours. Maybe longer."
Halo gripped Jason's hand tightly and moaned in discomfort.
"Okay. Halo. That's a contraction. You will have those until you are ready to give birth, then you'll be ready to give birth."
"Okay."
Thirteen hours later.
"Come on Halo!" Lara shouted. "One more big push!"
Halo pushed and felt relief as she pushed her child out of her womb.
"Yes!" Halo praised. "It's a girl!" She said as the baby began crying. "Korra, Jason, can you use Water Bending to heal her?"
"The baby or Halo?"
"The baby."
Korra used Water Bending to clean her off before Jason pulled the water from the air wrapping her in it up to her neck while Korra used her healing to heal the baby. "Why did you have us heal her?"
"She was born at thirty weeks." Lara said. "It's a condition called being born premature. When I'm from it's not as big a problem because we have the technology to help babies recover, but in this ass backwards time I'm surprised any babies are born"
"Hey that's not fair." Korra said.
"Really?" Lara asked. "How many babies die every year?"
Korra went silent before saying. "Not as many as survive."
"But?"
"Still more than we like."
"Exactly." Lara said taking the baby and wrapping her in one of the sheets and handing her to Halo before helping Halo remove the Placenta, and let it set for two minutes before cutting the umbilical cord and wrapping some tape around the end. "We'll leave you alone." She said as she pulled Korra with her.
Jason got up to follow, but Halo grabbed his hand. "Stay." She speaks.
"Really?"
"Yes. Remember, you wanted to be a part of our child's life. I won't deny you that. What should we name her?"
Jason thought about that. "The only names I've got are Kara, Artemis, Barbara, Cassandra, Stephanie, Harper, Coriander, Helena, Kate, Selena, Harleen, Diana... okay that's a lot of names actually."
"Hm." Halo said. "What about Selene?"
"Okay."
"Selene Todd."
"Wh-what?"
"You wanted to be a part of her life, so I'm giving her your last name so she will always know who she is."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now. Get out of here so I can feed her and tell Montey to get his ass in here."
"Why Montgomery?"
"I just gave birth. Don't worry. I may have an insanely high sex drive, but I won't fuck him right after I gave birth... I'll wait a week or two. Probably a week if I'm being honest."
"I'll leave now." Jason said leaving the room. "Montgomery!" He called. "Halo wants you."
"So soon after giving birth?"
"No, you idiot. She probably wants you to be the babysitter while she sleeps."
"Oh. Okay."
"By the way." Jason said grabbing his arm. "If you hurt my daughter. No one in the history of torture's been tortured with torture like the torture you'll be tortured with!"
"Okay, okay. Calm your tits. Your daughter will come to no harm under my care."
"Make sure she doesn't. Also. Make sure that you and Lara meet me at the Factory tonight."
"Seriously? After being awake for nearly two days?"
"Seriously. My record is three days."
"Dude. Sleep."
"I will, once this is over. They need me."
"Fine, but if you don't sleep after this, I'm having Lara make you a sedative so strong you'll sleep for a week."
"Fine."
"And I'll have her make an Aphrodisiac that will make Korra fall for you so hard..."
Jason flipped Montgomery off and walked downstairs. He poured himself a cup of coffee and downed it before he emptied the pot and made a fresh batch. "Hey Korra. Are you going to be all right for the raid tonight?"
"I don't know. I'll drink plenty of coffee."
Jason grabbed the Alcohol and drank a third of the bottle. "Drink some Alcohol. It will make your fire more potent."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Don't drink enough to get drunk, just enough to maybe get a buzz."
"Okay. Why?"
"You're going to need it. Your fire needs to be the hottest it's ever been. In fact, go eat some greasy food too. The hotter your fire is, the better."
"Okaaaay?"
"You'll thank me later."
That night.
Jason waited at the factory for Lara and Montgomery to show up. He caught something that came flying at him.
"Drink up." Montgomery said.
Jason looked at it and saw a 5 Hour Energy. He unscrewed the cap and downed it. "You guys ready?"
"Let's go." Montgomery said taking a bracelet from his pocket and slid it on. It unfolded into a blade with five slots on top. It had an electronic device on it facing Montgomery, and he put a... a deck of cards into it.
"What the hell is that?" Jason asked.
"It's my Duel Disk. It's how I'm able to fight alongside you... well actually I'll be fighting behind you to the left or right."
"Whatever. Let's go."
They walked into the Factory and towards the place where Jason entered the hidden factory. He pried it off and they went through. He led them through the tunnel to the door and placed his hand on it. "Fuck. This is Platinum."
"Out of the way." Montgomery said pulling cards from his deck and placing them on the blade. "'Minefield Golems'! Stand next to the door! We'll blow it the fuck up!"
Three hulking figures that who looked like robots with mines for heads walked to the wall.
"Next I activate three 'Minefield Eruptions'! BACK UP!"
Jason jumped back as the 'Minefield Golems' exploded. He threw up a wall of earth and pulled a bottle out of his jacket and drank as much as he could before dropping it with a gasp.
Lara looked at it and glared at him. "Seriously!? 100 proof alcohol! Where the hell did you get this?"
"Bought it." Jason said before he activated his Fire Bending sending fire up his arms. The tunnel immediately became a furnace and Montgomery glowed blue and caused a blue shield to appear in front of him and Lara to block most of the heat.
Jason walked through the hole in the wall and saw six Mecha-Tanks attacking Korra, Tenzin, and Lin. The other officers were down and being loaded into a truck. "Knock, Knock." He said before blasting Equalist's with fire and incinerating them, bones and all. He aimed at the Mecha-Tanks and blasted them melting the metal.
"Holy shit!" Montgomery said. "Jason is melting the Mecha-Tanks!"
"That would mean..." Lara said. "...that his fire is hotter than 4000 degrees Fahrenheit!"
"How are we still alive!? Shouldn't the oxygen in our lungs be ripped out of our bodies or something!?"
"No, but he will burn the oxygen in the air to sustain this until there is nothing left." Lara said.
"That's bad right?"
"Not for you seeing as you don't have any brain cells, but for the people who do have brain cells, yes. Very bad."
"Hey! I resent that."
"More like you resemble that."
Jason jumped at the Mecha-Tank and kicked it with a Fiery spin kick that melted through the metal and caught the driver on fire. He jumped off and spun before bringing his foot down on the next tank melting through the cockpit and incinerating that driver. He spun into the next one and turned it into a lump of molten metal with the driver still inside.
He began walking to the next one when he fell down and grabbed his chest.
"JASON!" Lara and Korra yelled in unison.
Montgomery glowed white and blue and froze Jason where he lay.
A Mecha-Tank ran over him.
"NO!" Korra yelled running over to the Mecha-Tank and blasting it with a gout of fire. "GET OFF HIM!" She roared hitting it again with her fire. She jumped in the air to avoid a grapple only to be hit with another sending her into a wall and causing her to lose consciousness.
"DO SOMETHING!" Lara yelled.
"I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to use this, but... SHENRON! I WISH THAT EVERYONE WHO ISN'T IN A MECHA-TANK WERE BACK AT JASON'S HOUSE!"
"Your! Wish! Has! Been! Granted!" A deep booming voice said.
There was a flash of light, and suddenly the room had three slightly damaged Mecha-Tanks in it. The pilots looked at each other, confused at what had happened.
Jason's house.
There was a flash of light and suddenly the Police, Lin, Tenzin, Korra, Jason, Montgomery, Lara, Mako, Bolin, Asami, and two Equalists were laying on the grass outside Jason's house.
The Equalist's got up, but two badly burnt arms grabbed them by their throats followed by a sickening snap.
"The... equalists... can't... find... this... place." Jason gasped before he fell to the ground and passed out.
"JASON!" Korra yelled. "JASON! JASON! JASON!"
AN: So, some stuff happened. FYI. Montgomery is not an author insert, and his abilities are vastly unknown, so you never know what's going to pop up. Enjoy.
