About the story: This is an AU where Korra meets up and joins the White Falls Wolfbats instead of the Future Industries Fire Ferrets.

Disclaimer: The author does not have ownership over The Legend of Korra or any of its characters, locations and such; they belong to Nickelodeon Animation Studios. This fanfiction, however, does belong to her. If she did own the show, Tahno x Korra and a one sided Amon x Korra would be very, very canon (although there's still hope that Tahno x Korra will happen in the show!).

Warning: Violence, sexual themes and other things that would warrant a warning. Rated M more for violence then smut… but will probably have smut later on.

Pairings: (Major) Tahno x Korra; (Minor) Bolin x Korra, Mako x Asami and (one-sided) Amon x Korra

Author's Notes: I tried to make them in character as possible, so I hope you like this. I will try to stay true to the show while still keeping it AU. I'll stop blabbing and get on with the story now.

Taming the Wolfbat

Chapter 1: Little Rabaroo

She was sick and tired of being confined at the Air Temple Island – it was no different from when she was stuck inside the walls of the Southern Water Tribe compound with White Lotus guards watching her every move. Why couldn't they understand that, as the Avatar, she wasn't some fragile thing that they needed to lock up in a cage, to hide from the world? It didn't help at all that Master Tenzin wouldn't even let her listen to a pro-bending match on the radio…

But she figured that what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. And she was resolved to go ahead as she planned when she snuck by one of the guards and dove into the waters, heading towards the direction of Republic City – or to the pro-bending arena to be exact. Weaving and bobbing through the waters, she spotted her entrance and propelled herself up and out of the water through an open window, bending the water out of her clothes and hair while she was at it.

Down one hall and up another, she only wandered around the building for a minute or two before she spotted a room. It was filled with weights of all shapes and sizes, training posts and a large net off to one side, probably to catch the stone disks for Earthbender training. No one was training though, the place was quiet and empty; the pro-benders were probably at their match alrea-

"Hey, what are you doing in my gym?" a gruff voice told her, making her whir around to face an old, well built man with a head of white hair held back in a tie. He looked absolute infuriated at catching a trespasser apparently and started to accuse her of using the place without paying even as she tried her best, claiming that she was merely lost and looking for the bathroom. Still, he would not buy her excuses and threatened to call security on the girl.

She was seriously considering just running away from the old man, really, how fast could he be? But it seemed she got lucky today as a savior arrived, in the form of a guy.

Said guy was a pale teen with a pointed face and inky black, wavy hair swept off to the right side of his face which, honestly, she thought made him a tad ridiculous looking. But, nonetheless, she was grateful for the save. He was tall, lean and lanky, wore an earth colored pro-bender uniform and had his helmet tucked under one arm, the other high up in a casual wave.

"Heyyy, there you are my little Rabaroo," the guy drawled, walking over to them and placing her arm on her shoulder and pulling the girl closer to him. "Don't worry old man, she's together with me."

Korra grinned awkwardly as she quickly interjected; "Oh, we're not together-together! More like friends."

The guy seemed to frown a bit when she said this but the smile was plastered on his face once more as he leaned in and whispered huskily; "Oh, just friends; you sure you don't want to be more than that?"

"Yeah, pretty sure we're just friends, pretty boy."

But the old man snapped impatiently, "I don't care what you two are; I got work to do!" he told them with a dismissive wave as he turned around, heaving one of the larger weights and throwing it to the side.

And that was that, as the guy steered her out of the gym and down another hall, an awkward silence permeating the air between them.

Slow start, I swear I'll have more in the next few days. Read and review if you want more!
