It will be like our current story 'Titanium' a Korrasami fic. Hope you all enjoyed this story please read and review!

Asami's POV

I groaned as I opened my eyes, feeling a throbbing pain in my back and left leg. Well, everywhere if I was being honest. I blinked as I looked around the room, my gaze finally settling on the brunette asleep in a chair next to my bed. I frowned when I noticed her bandaged arm, a few scrapes on her face. What had happened? The last thing I remembered...

A bomb.

I hissed between my teeth as I tried to sit up, feeling a pulsating pain in my back. It was probably burned and bruise. I could faintly recall something falling on me after I had covered Korra. By the looks of it, I had done a good job in shielding her from the blast.

"You're awake," the Waterbender said tiredly as she sat up. I managed a smile and nodded my head. "How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad," I answered. Not a complete lie. "Could have probably been worse."

"Lin says we were lucky. That bomb should have killed us."

"But it didn't."

"It did him." She lowered her gaze and I knew she probably felt guilty. Korra didn't wish harm on anyone, despite what they had done to her.

"Hey," I said placing a hand over hers. "We're okay, that's what matters."

Her head tilted to the side, blue eyes studying me. "You shielded me."

I nodded. "I did."

"Why?"

I sighed, leaning back against the pillows as I ignored the slight throbbing in my lower back. "You're my best friend, Korra," I replied. "And I care about you. You would have done the same for me."

She smiled in response, standing to hug me, careful to not actually touch any of my wounds. I returned the embrace, pulling back to sign the word 'friend'. Korra shook her head and guided my hands, showing me a new sign. I raised a brow and she chuckled lightly.

"Family," she said. "You're family."

I felt my eyes water a little before the door opened, her parents and my dad walking inside. He went over to the opposite side of the bed, grabbing my hand and asking how I felt.

"Mom, Dad," Korra greeted, her slur barely noticeable.

The Southern Chief smiled, wrapping his arm around the brunette as she hugged his wife. It was the first time she called them that, and I could only imagine how they must feel. Senna had this warm smile on her face and I couldn't help but do the same as I looked up at my own dad. He shook his head and bend down to kiss my forehead.

Things were finally falling into place.

Kuvira's POV

I watched as the kid talked to Su, her arm still in a sling. Things had gone well for the most part, we had taken the city and released the Benders being held captive. Very few shots had been fired on the General's front as he took over the ships in the bay, something that he called a 'peaceful' surrender. However, none of us were surprised when we found out about the bombing.

We had all suspected foul play and it had been truly a miracle that the kid and Sato heiress hadn't perished in the explosion. Asami had taken most of the damage trying to shield the brunette, suffering burns on her back along with a pair of broken ribs and a broken leg. But even with her injuries she was walking around in crutches as if she weren't in any pain of all.

I clasped my hands behind my back as the young Avatar approached. I raised a brow and she stepped forward, embracing me in a hug as I blinked in surprise. My surrogate mother chuckled at my reaction and I patted the younger woman's back awkwardly before she pulled away.

"So I hear your parents are taking you and the brothers to the South Pole," I said.

She nodded her head. "They want me to spend some time there," the kid replied with a slur. "Get to know my old home."

"That's good." A pause. "I'm going to be heading out to the Earth Kingdom, the Queen recently passed and the nation needs someone to guide it."

"Hey! It's time to go!" Wei yelled.

"You know how grandma Toph gets when we take too long!" Wing added.

I rolled my eyes in response before looking at the kid again. "I have to go but I think Su would like for you to visit some time," I said, causing her to smile. "And maybe we can have a rematch."

"I'd like to visit Zaofu."

I smiled, furrowing my brow as I held my hands out, trying to remember what I asked Opal to teach me. I had practiced it a few times in my head before finally signing it. 'See you soon.'

Korra grinned in response, repeating the notion. "See you soon," she said as she signed.

Korra's POV

I looked up in awe as different colored lights danced in the sky above me. The South Pole had to be the most beautiful place I had ever seen. It was colder than usual this time of year but I didn't mind it. The parka my mom had given me kept me pretty warm even now at night. I laughed when I felt Mako poke my side causing him to chuckle.

After the battle against Amon, my parents asked that I spend some time with them before officially beginning my Avatar duties. Shortly before leaving I had revealed who I was to the rest of the world. Some people were skeptical about me being deaf but I paid it no mind. I even delivered my speech while talking and signing. I wasn't afraid anymore of my title or upset about my slur. For the most part anyways.

Earlier we had gone down to eat authentic Water Tribe noodles which was my favorite dish so far. Sure, Narook made the best in republic city but they didn't really compare to the stuff here. I had to quit my job there seeing as I would have to go to all sorts council meetings and would probably be traveling a lot. Graduation was next month so after that I wouldn't really have much time for myself.

Asami said she'd be joining me a week prior with a few dresses to see which one I liked. I tried to tell her that it wasn't really my style but she wouldn't hear it. Even with crutches she was still pretty adamant about looking the best. Bolin was pretty excited about graduation, telling everyone about how I was the first in the family to get a degree. Which was true in both of my families.

After everything that happened I decided to connect more with my parents which was going pretty well. Referring to them as 'mom' and 'dad' hadn't been as hard as I thought and I was trying to teach them some sign language. Asami was going to help fund a school for deaf kids and my dad decided to do the same here at home. There were less people here so I suggested that perhaps a program of sorts in the schools would be better which he agreed.

Mako was happy about me getting to know my roots and my improved attitude about my parents. Mom still had some rough days but for the most part she was doing a lot better. My dad was always excited to have me tag along fishing trips and even taught Mako how to fish which was amusing seeing as he still hasn't caught a single fish.

"Your parents are waiting for you," he said as he wrapped his arms around me, giving my cheek a kiss. "And most importantly, Bo is starving."

I laughed in response turning to look at him before looking up in the sky again. "It's beautiful."

He hummed in agreement. "It's something we don't see in the city."

I sighed and nodded. A part of me was torn about going back especially now that I had found my parents but I knew I had responsibilities to the people. Dad assured me they'd visit me often, not to mention I could see them through the computer or call them.

"I'm going to miss it here."

"I know." He kissed the top of my head. "But they're always going to be there for you just like Bo and I."

I smiled and gave him a chaste kiss. 'Always?' I signed.

Mako chuckled and nodded. 'Always.'
