Korra's POV

Korra had just finished her workout for the morning and climbed the stairs to the first floor to find Asami in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Asami looked up and gave a bright smile.

"Good morning, Korra!"

"Good morning, Asami," Korra returned a small smile.

"I'm making us breakfast. Did you already eat?"

Korra blinked. "You're making us breakfast?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Oh…that's nice of you. No, I haven't eaten yet," Korra lied.

Asami beamed. "Well, go ahead and wash up. It should be one by the time you come back down."

Korra nodded and headed upstairs to shower.

It had been three days since they moved in and Korra had to admit things had definitely gotten better. Asami and Korra were a lot friendlier with each other now. They even cracked jokes here and there. Today, Korra didn't wake up in time to see Kai off to school or make him breakfast him breakfast like she typically did. Korra was back to having nightmares every night and it was starting to affect her sleeping patterns. For now, though, Korra enjoyed having the two in the house, despite having Naga away. Although Korra had tried to explain that Naga would be no trouble and add extra protection, the Chief had decided Naga would be a distraction to Korra and demanded that all of Korra's attention be placed on the Satos' wellbeing. So now she was stuck with a teenage boy and a cute girl…just one room away. It was like every lesbian's dream. It was a shame they were Satos.

Korra went back to the dining room. Asami placed a plate of egg sandwiches on the table.

"This is your breakfast for me?" Korra inquired.

"Yep. Be happy I didn't just pour you a bowl of cereal and make you pour your own milk," Asami lifted an eyebrow at Korra, giving her a suck-it-up smirk before biting into her sandwich.

The smirk gave Korra some goose bumps, but she shook it off and took a bit of the egg sandwich. The taste of burnt food bombarded her taste buds. "What the…" korra pulled away the bread to reveal a very burnt egg.

"Yeah, I may have burned a couple of eggs…" Asami nonchalantly noted. "This one is fine, though." She pointed at a sandwich on the plate.

Korra rolled her eyes and grabbed the new sandwich.

"So…" Asami began nervously, "I was wondering if it was okay for me to go and see my friends today?"

"You sound like a child asking permission to go and play."

"Well, isn't that kind of what it is? Pretty much."

Korra looked her in the eyes seriously. "I have been stuck in this house for four days straight, waiting for you to want to go out and do something. Please do."

"Awesome!" Asami smiled.

"But you do know I have to tag along," Korra reminded her.

"Of course," Asami waved her hand, "That's fine with me. Let's get ready!" She jumped from her seat and took the empty plate to the sink.

"Wait, where are we going?" Korra asked.

"A café downtown," Asami replied as she scrubbed the plate.

"Okay. I'm ready whenever you are."

"Alright, I'm going to change and then I'll be down." She ran upstairs.

"Ugh. I'm so jealous. I wanna go!" Bolin whined.

"Asami!" A girl with short hair screamed and ran towards Asami, embracing her in a tight hug. A tall girl followed behind.

"Opal! Kuvira! I've missed you guys!" Asami cried as she hugged the girl. The three walked into the café and sat down at a table with only three seats.

Well this is awkward.

Korra joined a line of people and ordered a vanilla latte before making her way to the corner of the room by a window. She had a clear view of the entire room and Asami and she could check the streets for any activity. Some time into the little get together, Korra found herself staring at Asami unconsciously multiple times. With her friends Asami looked so natural and bright that Korra couldn't help but look. Her laughs were more generous and genuine and her eyes had a bright glint in them that showed how happy she was. Her body language said she was more comfortable than Korra had ever seen her as Asami reached over and grabbed the shorthaired girl's hand sweetly while she laughed.

Asami looked away from her friends to scan the room. Her eyes connected to Korra's and stayed there for what felt like an eternity to Korra, but one only a second or two. Asami looked away but looked back again and waved Korra over. Korra roughly got up and awkwardly walked over.

"Korra, let me introduce you my two best friends," Asami began with a big smile on her face. "This is Opal," she pointed to the girl with short hair, "And this is Kuvira." Asami then pointed to the tall girl. "Girls, this is Korra. She's the officer Kai and I are living with."

"You're her?" Kuvira asked, looking surprised. Korra nodded, wondering where this was going. "You look our age. Also, you're rather muscular for a woman."

Korra looked away, slightly irritated by the statement and slightly embarrassed. "Yeah. I get that a lot."

"Hush, Kuvira. You have some pretty masculine features too. You have no room to talk!" Opal shushed.

"Yeah, Kuvira. Rude," Asami gave her a slightly dirty and teasing look.

"I apologize, Korra. I had no intention of coming across that way," Kuvira looked Korra in the eyes and shrugged.

"Apparently she was at The Hog Monkey the last time we were there," Asami changed the topic. "She's the one that scared that guy away from me. Remember how I told you I was pretty sure I was going to be raped and murdered that night?" They nodded. "Yeah, she's the reason I wasn't." Asami crossed her arms and smiled, as though she were proud to tell her friends that Korra was her savior.

"Wow," Opal looked at Korra and gave her a big smile.

Geez, they're all beautiful. What's with rich girls?

"Thanks!" Korra rubbed the back of her neck. She looked back at Asami. "I'm going to go back to my spot now, okay?" Asami's smile wavered slightly before she nodded. Korra turned her attention back to Asami's friends. "It was nice meeting you two. Feel free to come over to my house whenever you want to see Asami on more comfortable furniture." Korra gave them her best smile and walked back to her corner. She turned around to catch Asami looking at her before Asami snapped her attention back to the girls in front of her.

Korra's heart fluttered. She noticed it had been doing that a lot when Asami looked at her. Korra hated it. She had no idea why it was happening. Ok, so she knew why it was happening, but she didn't want it to happen. She's supposed to hate her. Korra is supposed to hate their entire family for what they did, so why didn't she? Why did Asami always make Korra so confused?

"Surprise!" Korra turned to find Bolin next to her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Korra hissed, surprised to see him.

"I was so bored in that stupid office by myself! I felt like I was watching some reality TV show, but now the house is empty and I really wanted to see you guys in the flesh!"

"Bolin! What if someone breaks in while nobody is looking?" Korra exclaimed.

"Calm down, woman! I'm sure stressing over everything doesn't help you," Bolin laughed, and patted Korra on the shoulder. "Bolin-man has got this all under control. I have my tablet set up to view the cameras!" He pulled out his tablet and unlocked it, displaying all the camera views to Korra. Korra let out a breath she had been holding. "Plus," Bolin added," Mako has the same thing."

"I'm actually looking at it as you speak," Mako informed. "You should have at least told us before leaving, Bo."

"I know, I know," Bolin sighed. Then he perked up instantly, "I just wanted to surprise Korra! Now where is Asami? I wanna say hi!" He began scanning the tables and spotted here. "Aha! There she is!" Bolin left without another word.

"Hey, Asami!" Korra heard Bolin say through her earpiece.

Korra watched as Asami's look of surprise turned into happiness as she introduced Bolin to her friends.

"Hey, I remember you!" Bolin exclaimed, pointing at Kuvira. "Not much, but I remember seeing a super tall lady at The Hog Monkey and thinking 'LOOK! A giant!'" Bolin was loud enough that Korra could hear him without her earpiece.

"Oh dear spirits, this isn't happening…" Korra mumbled to herself as she turned around, facing the window.

"It's happening, Korra…I'm so sorry…" Mako sighed.

"Shut up, Korra! Mako!" Bolin yelled. Once again, Korra could hear Bolin clearly without the earpiece.

How embarrassing is this…Opal and Kuvira probably don't even know what's going on.

Korra was looking up at the sky when she caught sight of something mysterious. She squinted at the rooftop of a building in front of the one they were in. A small bit of movement was seen, but Korra couldn't make it out. Suddenly, the black form moved more until it was out of sight. Korra's eyes widened in realization and grabbed at the gun in her side holster.

"Bolin, stay here. Don't take your eyes off Asami," Korra commanded as she walked out of the café and towards the building she had seen the figure on.

"What?" Bolin exclaimed, obviously concerned. "Wait, where are you going?"

"What's happening?" Mako demanded, his voice becoming more alert.

Korra started her sprint to the back of the building with her gun in her hand. She stopped at the back alley of the building, but didn't see anyone around. She looked up in time to see someone jumping from the building to another building directly behind it.

"Shit!" Korra hissed, running down the buildings. She looked up and saw the figure once again, only this time it wasn't jumping to another building. Korra couldn't see their face, but she could tell they were looking down at her.

Korra lifted her gun up at them. "FREEZE!" Korra screamed up at them. "SHOW ME YOUR HANDS NOW!"

Korra saw his hands lift above his head. "CLIMB DOWN HERE. MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS AND I WILL SHOOT YOU."

"How about you climb up here instead, Officer," He called down, dropping his hands.

"GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Korra screamed. The sun was blinding her, so even if she shot at him, there was a high chance that she would completely miss.

"Not happening, lady," He replied nonchalantly. "If you stay down there, then we'll be here for a while. But I'm not complaining…I'll just get to see your pretty little face longer.

Korra put her gun in its holster and grabbed for the ladder. Korra never did take taunting well.

"Wait, Korra. What are you doing? Why aren't you talking?" Bolin anxiously asked.

"Korra, you are not really going up to wherever he is…are you?" Mako added, concerned.

Korra ignored them, focusing on the mission she planned in her head, and continued to climb. Before she made it all the way to the top, the guy on the roof jumped to the other building.

Dammit.

As Korra finished the climb, she saw him on the roof of the building in front of her.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" Korra shouted at him. She couldn't see the upper half of his face because he was wearing a mask.

The guy faked a thinking stance before replying, "I don't think so, sweetie." He ran off towards the next building.

"Fuck…" Korra muttered to herself before she began backing up. She looked at the rooftop across from the one she was one. There wasn't a lot of distance between the buildings; nevertheless she was not a fan of heights.

Korra inhaled deeply before ridding her mind of all thoughts and dashing forward. Once her feet collided with the edge of the roof, she pushed herself off of it, flying in the air only for a second before landing smoothly on her two feet on the other rooftop. Korra didn't hesitate and continued her pursuit on the guy in the hoodie. He was already two buildings in front of her. Faster than she had expected, Korra had already made it to the end of this building and jumped off, landing on the next rooftop. This time, however, she didn't manage as smooth a landing as her ankle twisted under her. Korra barrel rolled before getting back to her feet, doing her best to ignore the searing pain from her right foot, and began to sprint once again. She jumped another building, but when she got up, Korra failed to locate the man. Moments later, Korra heard the screeching of tires and ran to the side of the roof in time to see a black SUV speeding away.

Korra collapsed, trying to catch her breath. It wasn't that she was bad with running, but she absolutely hated running. When she went to the gym, Korra would do everything but run on the treadmill. Not to mention, she hated running away, although now that she though about it, Korra guessed to catch people you also needed to run. Guess, she would have to work on that instead of only focusing on weights.

After a few minutes of lying down, Korra attempted to get up, "Argh!" Korra cried out as she put pressure on her foot.

"Korra, are you okay?" Bolin frantically yelled.

"Argh…Yeah, I'm fine. Just a booboo," Korra chuckled.

"Korra, where are you? I pulled Kai out of school early just in case. We're on the way to the café now," Mako informed.

"That's nice…I won't have to walk back there. Pick me up, Mako. I'm on the roof of the…" Korra looked down the rooftops, counting them. "Fifth building in front of the café. I hate heights, get me down from here," Korra laughed at herself again.

Asami's POV

"Thanks!" Korra replied nervously to Opal and Kuvira before looking at Asami. "I'm going back to my spot now, okay?" Disappointment struck Asami as Korra spoke. "It was nice meeting you two. Feel free to come to the house whenever you want to see Asami on more comfortable furniture." Asami watched Korra walk back to her corner. When Korra turned to look back at Asami, Asami diverted her eyes and prayed Korra hadn't noticed.

The whole time Asami had been at the table she had been trying to restrain herself from sneaking a glance at Korra. She had no idea what was wrong with her, but whenever Asami saw Korra she got a funny feeling in her chest. She didn't know what it was, but she knew she should try to avoid it.

It was so hard not to look at her, though. Asami could feel Korra looking at her. Asami really liked that Korra took her job seriously. It made her feel a lot safer knowing that she was always nearby watching Asami and the surroundings. Asami just wished she would open up more. She was a lot friendlier towards Asami now, but Asami could feel it was all business for her. Asami just really wanted to see the real Korra.

"She seems nice, Asami," Opal noted. "Why did you tell us she was a bitch?"

"That was when we first got there. Turned out she wasn't," Asami nonchalantly countered.

The three girls talked, catching up on things they had missed in the past few days, which was quiet a bit on Asami's half, when—

"Hey, Asami!" Asami turned to find Bolin walking to the table. At first, Asami was shocked, wondering why he was here, but for the most part she was glad to see Bolin for the first time since the move in. Asami really liked the agents hired to watch over them. Bolin was so lively and energetic, Mako was a voice of reason, and Korra was devoted. Asami felt she could relate to Korra the most, however, since Asami herself was a pretty devoted person.

Asami hastily introduced Bolin to Opal and Kuvira, and Bolin, being Bolin, took up no time to start a conversation. After Bolin managed to embarrass Korra for a while, Bolin's face scrunched up in concern.

"What?" Bolin asked, "Wait, where are you going?"

Korra was leaving the building cautiously, looking at something. Next thing Asami knew, Korra was running across the street with her gun out.

Asami, unable to bear not being in the know, stood up nervously. "What's going on, Bolin?" Bolin silently motioned Asami to sit back down. Asami looked at her friends in front of her as they both stared outside where Korra was last in view. Asami looked on as well. A few minutes later Bolin spoke up.

"Wait, Korra. What are you doing? Why aren't you talking?"

Asami started to panic. What was going on? Was Korra okay? Asami, not being overly religious, really wished she could pray for Korra's safety. She really hated the feeling of uselessness that crept up her spine.

Asami pulled at Bolin's arm so he would look at her. "What's happening?" Asami demanded.

"Don't worry, Asami. I can hear her. She's fine. Just stay where you are," Bolin replied as reassuring as possible. Asami may not have known Bolin well, but she could deduce that he was the type of person not great with lying, and he seemed to believe what he was saying, so she trusted that she should as well.

That did not stop her worrying, however. What felt like an eternity later, Bolin spoke again, "Korra? Are you okay?" Bolin then relaxed a bit, in turn allowing Asami to relax as well. Bolin turned and gave them a relieved smile, "Don't worry girls. Haha…She's okay."

"What was all that about?" Kuvira inquired, her eyes displaying a keen interest in the situation at hand.

"Just us doing our job," Bolin answered vaguely. "I guess it was a good thing I came by after all." Bolin gloated. It seemed the other two officers had not been pleased by his appearance.

The four of them sat there for a while, unsuccessfully trying to have a normal conversation again, when a black car pulled up recklessly in front of the café. Mako jumped out and sped-walked into the café with Kai close on his heels. Korra climbed straight out of the passenger's seat and went straight to her car nearby. Is she limping?

"Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind, but it's probably for the best if we head back home," Mako relayed before he even reached the table.

Opal got up instantly, "Yes, of course!" Kuvira followed Opal's lead.

"Come over whenever you feel like it," Mako added.

"Sure thing!" Opal replied before leaving.

"Let's go, Asami," Mako prodded as he led her to the car. Asami noted Korra had already left.

Once they arrived home, they found Korra lying on the couch with her eyes shut. Mako sat besides her, resting his hand gently on Korra's knee.

"How're you feeling, Korra?" he asked.

Korra mumbled incoherently.

"What was that?" Mako asked.

"I'm fine," Korra replied with more force and strain in her voice. "I'm just angry at my stupid legs for not being faster and for my stupid foot for not cooperating."

Mako chuckled. "I meant your foot, dummy."

Korra's form relaxed slightly. "Oh. It's fine."

"Don't lie. You limped to my car so much I though you were a zombie."

Kai and Asami plopped themselves on the loveseat and observed the scene playing out in front of them.

"It's just a little sore is all," Korra grudgingly admitted. "Don't worry about me, babe."

Babe? I thought she was gay.

"Move so I can sit properly," Mako ordered.

"No. Find a different place to sit."

"There is no different place to sit!" Mako growled.

"Sucks for you," Korra casually sang. She placed her hands under her head, eyes still closed.

"Please?" Mako begged.

Korra opened one eye to look at Mako's face. Both of his eyebrows were raised and, to Asami, it looked like he was trying to look cute. Asami internally smirked. There was no way Korra would fall for that.

"Ugh…fine." Korra lifted her legs up so Mako could lean his back against the couch and put her feet back down on Mako's lap. Asami was confused by the interaction. She didn't have time to ponder on it too long as her phone started to ring. It was Opal.

"Hello?

"Hey," Opal's voice came through the receiver. "I forgot to tell you something when you were with us, but it was so great to see you and I didn't want to ruin the mood when I remembered…so I thought I would just call you about it?"

"What's up?"

Opal sighed. This could not be good.

"I have sources that say Wu is mad."

"When isn't he?" Asami deadpanned.

Opal laughed. "True, true," she agreed. "Except you are the source of his wrath. Apparently he's mad that he hasn't seen you since you've been gone. "

"After what happened at the club, he should suck it up and be happy that I'm still with him," Asami coldly retorted. Asami heard Opal give an exasperated sigh.

"He doesn't even know you were there!" Opal took a deep breath. "I honestly don't know why you're still with him in the first place. If I saw my boyfriend with some other woman wrapped around him, it would have been the end of it for us."

"Dad," Asami simply answered. Opal knew what she was talking about. "Well anyways…I'll make some time to see him. Maybe next week? Let your sources know, please? I've gotta go, okay? Talk to you later, Opal." Asami hung up before Opal could say anything else. Asami placed her phone back in her lap and looked to Korra, who now had both eyes open and staring at her.

Asami did her best to ignore the tingling feeling in her chest and spoke," So what happened? I was so worried."

Korra hesitated for a second starting. "Well, I was looking outside and saw something moving on the top of the building across the street from us…it was really suspicious looking and then it disappeared. It was then I realized it was a person. Who stands on the top of a building like that anyways? So…I went after him and he started jumping across rooftops. I climbed up the ladder of one of the apartments—"

"You climbed up to him?" Asami cried out before she could hold her tongue.

Korra rolled her eyes," It wasn't like he was coming down. It was the only way."

When Korra finally finished her story, Mako was the first to speak.

"Did you see his face?"

"No," Korra grumbled. "He was wearing a hoodie and a mask. Plus, the sun was in my face the whole time, so I couldn't see a thing," Korra explained.

"You could've gotten something worse than a twisted ankle," Asami glared at Korra.

Korra raised an eyebrow and smugly asked," Are you that worried about me?"

Asami scowled at her. How could she not care for her well being at all? "Well, what if something happens in the span of your injury?"

Korra waved a hand. "Don't worry. I'm fine. I can still do stuff. No need to worry. It's my job to put my life in danger for the safety of other people."

"Ugh, whatever," Asami surrendered. "I just won't worry anymore, how about that?"

Two days later, Korra was still attempting to deceive the others that her ankle didn't hurt. The ankle was wrapped in an ACE Bandage, but she continued trying to walk on it, despite the doctor's orders for her to sit still or use crutches. Instead of Korra taking care of them, it was more like Asami and Kai taking care of her.

Most of the "caring" was scolding. Whenever Asami would catch Korra walking on her foot, Asami made sure that her displeasure was known. On the other hand, Kai would tease her and help her back to her seat. Asami noticed that she and Korra had been arguing more than usual. Asami refused to take the blame, as Korra had been acting stubborn and insisting that walking on the sore ankle would help it heal, when everyone has been saying otherwise.

Bolin took great pleasure in texting Asami to tease how they sounded like a married couple. Asami found it ironic that her fights with Korra sounded more like a couple argument than her fights with Wu ever had, and Wu was her boyfriend. Most of the fights with Wu were him trying to prove he was right and shutting out everything Asami said.

Mako was cooking something up in the kitchen. Ever since that day at the café, Mako has been spending as much time at the house as possible. It was mostly due to Korra's inability to do a few things, such as walk. Asami was sitting on the loveseat, all her attention invested on her phone, while Korra was on the couch with her foot resting on the coffee table.

"Hey Korra! Where's your cutting board?" Mako called from the kitchen. "Oh, never mind. I found it."

Korra limped to the dining table and Asami did nothing to stop herself from rolling her eyes when she saw Korra sit down and wince from the pain. Asami returned her attention to her phone.

"It's your own fault that it hurts," Asami admonished without looking up. Korra ignored her. "No matter what we say, you continue to ignore it, just like now." Asami got up and took Korra's crutches to the table and sat on the seat opposite from her. Korra looked up at Asami, causing some chills to travel up her spine. Asami looked a way quickly. Korra was still giving her a funny feeling inside just by a look, and Asami had no idea why, but when Korra looked at her she just wanted to be closer to her. Naturally, Asami tried to ignore it whenever it happened, but it never went away, even when they argued. Asami really wished she could go and talk to somebody about it, and had considered Kai, but she had no idea what help that would be since he was just a kid.

"It doesn't even hurt as bad as before, Asami," Korra countered, sending more chills down Asami's spine after calling her by name.

"Whatever you say," Asami replied, examining her fingers. She then proceeded to pick at them.

"I'm serious! It really is a lot better!" Korra tried for a convincing tone. "Stop doing that. You're going to pull the skin off of your fingers and then it'll look gross."

Asami narrowed her eyes and looked up. "Then stop walking on your bad foot." Asami looked back down to her hands to examine them. They didn't look so bad. Suddenly, two hands grabbed both of Asami's and pulled them apart. Asami knew they were Korra's and she stared at the contrast of their hands together; the contact sent electricity down her spine. Not even moments later, Korra let go of Asami's hands and leaned back into her chair, looking slightly uncomfortable.

Why does she always look uncomfortable when I feel the opposite? Asami wondered

*Beep*

Asami glanced down at her phone and read the new message.

From Bolin:

Ooooooo, that was interesting looking ;)

Asami blushed and quickly typed back a reply.

To Bolin:

I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry :(

It didn't take very long for Bolin to reply back.

From Bolin:

Keep n mind, im watching with my eagle eyes. I can c everything n detail. No hiding nything from me ;)

Asami placed her phone down and gave one of the cameras a dirty look. Then turned when she hear the familiar patter of steps down the stairs. Kai hopped into the dining room and jumped on top of Korra.

"How are you doing?" Kai asked.

"Better today, actually. Thanks, man!" Korra replied, as Kai readjusted his position so he was seated beside her. Asami scowled at the two. They'd gotten a lot closer in the last two days, showing more familiarity with each other through tackling and play fighting. Kai even gave Korra a massage once, but stopped once he noticed Asami glaring at him.

Asami admitted she was jealous, but she didn't know who she was jealous of. Was she jealous of Korra for getting so much affection from her adopted brother, who usually reserved his affections for her, or was she jealous of Kai for easily getting closer with Korra.

On the note of affection, Asami couldn't help but notice how close Mako an Korra were around each other. Asami often caught them using pet names to refer to each other, always touching each other, or just making weird comments to each other.

Earlier in the day, they were all sitting together in the living room. Kai was beside Asami and Korra was leaning on Mako's shoulder, hand in hand with him. They were all having a casual conversation until Kai spoke up.

"Wow, you two really look like a couple! Haha." Kai jested.

Asami felt her blood boil after that statement, because it was true.

Mako let out a nervous laugh and rubbed the back of his head. "I guess we look cute. Don't we, Korra?" Mako turned to Korra, "Maybe you should give me a little peck on the cheek?"

Asami held her breath as she waited for Korra to comply.

Korra turned to face Mako, looking slightly annoyed. "Idiot, ew! Get away from me! I don't want to kiss you!"

"Oh come on!" Mako whined, "We used to do it all the time!"

Korra's face lit up in bright red and growled.

"What?" Kai exclaimed. "You guys have kissed before?"

Asami felt like she was going to explode. They've kissed. And by the sound of it, a lot too.

"Wow, so Korra is straight?" Kai wasn't going to let this go any time soon. Asami really wished that he would just shut his mouth.

Mako waved his hand absently. "Psh, what? Korra is the gayest person I know!" Mako and Korra then dissolved into loud laughter.

Kai blinked, amazed. "I had no idea!"

Korra looked a bit apprehensive and asked, "Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah!" Kai exclaimed. "I don't see anything wrong with that! It actually kind of makes sense now."

Mako looked at Asami seriously. "What about you, Asami?"

Asami had been observing for so long, she forgot she could also participate in the conversation. "What?"

"Did you know?"

Asami risked a glance at Korra. Korra looked attentively at Asami. Asami shook her head slowly and lied, "No…I didn't know. But I don't have any problem with it." Asami wore a bright smile.

Asami's phone beeped.

From Bolin:

Liar -.-

The food was set on the table and Mako, who sat beside Asami, immediately began shoveling food into his mouth. Asami had never seen Mako eat so enthusiastically, but she supposed that maybe Korra was just that great of a cook. They ate in silence, savoring the taste of the dishes, until Korra began making conversation.

"So Kai," she began.

"Hmmm?"

"I think your sister hates me," Korra said casually, keeping her eyes on her food.

"Why do you think that?" Kai asked.

"She's so detached sometimes. She seems to like Mako and Bolin just fine, but is totally different with me."

Asami couldn't believe Korra was having this conversation when she was present. Asami pretended not to listen and continued eating, slower now.

"I don't think she hates you," Kai mumbled through his full mouth. "She's nice to some people she cares about, but she argues and bickers with other people she cares about too."

"Mmmm," Korra mumbled as she finished swallowing the food in her mouth. "I have a theory," she began. "See, I think it's ether that she hates me."

Korra paused for dramatic effect.

"Or she secretly has a crush on me."

Both Mako and Asami choked on their food.

"WHAT?" Asami blurted out.

"Korra!" Mako shouted.

Kai was laughing hysterically.

"You wish!" Asami mumbled, taking a sip of water in hopes of fending of the heat that was quickly rising to her face.

"Asami, your face is so red!" Kai laughed louder, slapping Korra's shoulder. Korra eyed Asami with amusement.

"I'm not gay. And even if I were, I wouldn't want you," Asami enunciated slowly.

"What's wrong with me?" Korra asked.

"Everything!" Asami exclaimed, suddenly unable to hold anything back. "You're so arrogant! And stubborn…you could compete with my boyfriend to see who's more stubborn!"

"Did you just compare me to your boyfriend? I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing!" Korra laughed again.

"NO!" Kai yelled. "That is NOT a good thing! At all!" Kai turned to glare at Asami accusingly. "How could you compare Korra to that jerk?"

"Jerk?" Mako asked, eyebrows raised.

Asami shrugged. "Kai hates him."
"Everyone does!" Kai said. Asami gave him a look that said 'shut up', but he ignored her. "He's horrible. He treats you like crap, Asami. You're not one of his servants. He's such a dick—"

"Language!" Asami cut him off. "Don't talk about my personal life to people, Kai."

The rest of dinner was spent silently.

It was around 11PM now and Korra was passed out on the loveseat. She had taken the medication the doctor prescribed to her for her ankle that made her sleep and now she was out like a light. It was adorable to see her sleeping. Mako was still in the house. Like the last two days, he'd stay until both Asami and Kai went to sleep.

"Mufhfklsfm," Korra mumbled.

Asami looked at Mako, confused.

"Don't worry about it. She talks in her sleep," he said.

As if replying to Mako's statement Korra began again. "Nuh thank you…I've already had too much…"

"Hmm…She's probably saying to no to someone at the club right now because she's had too many drinks," Mako guessed.

"Whatdaya think yah doing?" Korra mumbled again.

"Maybe some guy is hitting on her?" Kai guessed.

"Bolin guesses she's in the dream with him and he's hitting on someone. Korra is trying to get him to stop," Mako spoke.

Asami looked at Mako. "That was specific."

Mako shrugged, unfazed. "It's happened a lot before."

They all laughed and for the next ten minutes, they guessed what Korra was dreaming of as she spoke. The fun ended, however, when she stopped talking.

Mako remained faithful. "She'll start doing it again in like five minutes."

Instead, five minutes later, Korra was not talking but twitching and groaning, as though in pain.

"Ugghhhhh…"she groaned. This was a lot different from what she was doing earlier. Asami noticed her eyebrows were furrowed and she was starting to sweat. She started whining under her breath when all of a sudden—

"DAD NO!" Korra jumped upright on the loveseat, her eyes wide open in fear.

Mako jumped from his seat and rushed over to Korra, blocking her from Asami's view. Asami could hear small whimpers from Korra and whispering from Mako.

"It's okay, Korra," Mako said quietly. "It was just a nightmare. It wasn't real. It wasn't real, okay?" Mako slowly pulled Korra off the couch. Asami noticed her cheeks were wet, from either sweat or tears Asami couldn't be certain. Mako lead her upstairs.

Once Mako came back down a few minutes later, he slumped down onto the couch again.

"Everything's okay. She's fine," He assured the Sato children.

"What happened?" Kai asked.

Mako stayed silent for a while, as if trying to come up with a lie or a good explanation, before speaking. "…She has nightmares a lot. She used to get them every night before…I thought they went away…I haven't heard her wake up in the middle of the night since we started wearing these." He pointed to his earpiece. "What was that, Bo? She is still having them? But I would wake up if I heard her—"

He paused for a moment.

"Oh…she turns her earpiece off when she goes to sleep? But you've seen it when you look back through the night videos…Damn…"

Ten minutes later, Kai and Asami headed to the rooms to sleep. Mako had left for the night. Asami couldn't get the look of Korra's face when she woke up out of her head. What could possibly scare Korra so much?

Kai's POV

It was 3AM and everyone was asleep. Kai was woken by a strange noise above him. It sounded a little like the house was just settling itself, but it also sounded like something else. His eyes widened when he heard a scratching noise above him.

It sounds like it's coming from the roof. He glanced over at Asami, knowing he wouldn't be able to wake her up. Asami was too much of a heavy sleeper.

Kai slowly and quietly got out of bed and tiptoed to Korra's bedroom door. The whole house was pitch black and he was terrified. He lightly knocked on Korra's door, but there was no response. He knocked louder, but was paranoid that someone was in the house.

Giving up on Korra, Kai went back to his room and phoned Mako. After no pick up on the line, Kai frantically tried Bolin. After the fifth ring, Kai heaved a sigh of relief when the heard the line come alive.

"Mmmph…Hello…?" Bolin said, groggily.

"Bolin, I'm hearing noises on the roof and I'm scared. I tried knocking on Korra's door, but she's not waking up…"

"Hold on, don't move," Bolin ordered. "Go to your room if you're not already there. Let me check the cameras." Bolin sounded more awake than before, which helped ease Kai.

On the phone, Kai could hear Bolin getting up and switching on what Kai assumed to be the camera monitors.

"Okay Kai," Bolin began, "I don't see anything, but I want you to do something for me, okay?"

"Okay…" Kai said with a shaky voice.

"I need you to go into Korra's room and wake her up, okay?"

"But Korra said don't go in her room…"

"She'll understand why you went in. Just do it. I can see you through the whole thing, so don't worry."

Kai nodded and took small steps back out of his room and towards Korra's bedroom door, all while Bolin gave small reassurances through the phone.

Kai entered Korra's room and blindly felt his way to her bed. Once there, he gently tapped on Korra's shoulder.

"Korra? Korra, please wake up! Please…" Kai frantically whispered, lightly shaking the sleeping girl.

"Hmmmm…?" Korra groaned. "Asami…?" Korra opened her eyes slightly to see the silhouette of a person from the moon's light.

"No, Korra. It's Kai…please wake up. I heard something…"

Korra shook herself awake roughly. The medication from earlier making it difficult for her to focus.

"Bolin is on the phone right now," Kai briefed, lifting his phone towards Korra. Korra didn't seem to completely comprehend what Kai had said and instead grabbed her earpiece and put it in her ear, turning it on.

"Hell…o…?" Korra said sleepily.

"Korra wake up already!" Kai heard Bolin's voice yell through the earpiece. "Kai said he's been hearing stuff. You need to wake up, now."

"Uhm..y-yeah..o-okay…" Korra mumbled, still confused.

Korra tried getting up, feeling dizzy from the sleeping pill.

"KORRA GET UP NOW!" Kai heard Bolin yell.

"Okay, okay!" Korra stood up slowly and shook herself awake more. "What's wrong again…?"

"I heard something in the house that woke me up. I don't know what it is, but I was scared," Kai said, grabbing onto Korra's shirt.

"Heard…something…house?" Korra repeated. "You heard…? Something…?" she reiterated, becoming more aware of the situation and her eyes widened. "You heard something in the house?"

Korra instantly turned to her nightstand and picked up a pistol Kai hadn't noticed lying in plain site. "Go back to your room, Kai."

Korra's POV

Korra limped around the house with her gun in her right hand and flashlight in her left hand underneath, supporting the pistol. She searched the whole house but found nothing.

"Bo, did you see anything?"

"Not a thing," Bolin reported. "But you know that never means anything. It could be outside. Kai said it sounded like it was on the roof or something. And we don't have cameras up there."

"Yeah, and the guys seem to love rooftops," Korra muttered. "I can't check the roof though. Especially in my current condition…"

Korra went into the Sato siblings' room and spotted Kai's dark figure sitting on his bed.

"Did you find anything?" he asked.

"No, I didn't. But don't worry! I'll just stay in here for the night and keep watch on the door," Korra replied. "If that's okay with you."

Kai gave a strained smile. "I would prefer that actually."

Korra walked to the bed and sat on the floor under where Asami was soundly sleeping. Korra couldn't help but stare. Asami looks like a porcelain doll when she's sleeping.

"Thank you for being here, Korra," Kai said as he lay back down on the bed. "I'm sorry for waking you up."

"No apologies, Kai. I'm here for you two whenever the time calls for it. Just get some sleep, okay."
Kai fell back to sleep quickly, leaving Korra alone and awake in the dark room to watch a door she couldn't even see. She managed to stay awake for the next hour and a half before slowly drifting back to sleep.

Asami's POV

Early in the morning, Asami woke up from a dream. The first thing she saw when she woke up was the back of Korra's head leaning on the bed. Not only was it leaning on the bed, however. During the night, Asami had rolled onto her side and her arm slipped off, falling onto Korra's shoulder. Now, Korra was leaning her head on that arm as though it was a pillow.

Asami wondered why Korra was in there in the first place, but shrugged it off and smiled slightly at the though that she was there in the first place, sleeping against her side of the bed, using her arm as a pillow. She lay her head back on her pillow and drifted back to sleep.
