She smiled, she had a plan running through her head, she conjured up many different options while she had been arguing with Mako and when she woke up and started fighting the chi-blockers. She then smirked, Mako looked down at her and he already knew

"You have a plan don't you?"

She looked up at him, her hair falling in his face

"Yes, I do"

Korra gave him a run through of the plan in the usual Korra way; it was more a brief out line of what they should do. Mako did his thing, going into the plan with detail and figuring out all the other stuff Korra couldn't be bothered thinking about

"Let's pray this will work" she whispered to herself. Mako was surprised that Korra was still able to move, her body had taken a pretty good beating

"Alright City Boy, healing time" she said bending some more water up into her hands, he took off his shirt again and she placed her hands to where he had burnt himself trying to get to her. She started to heal the burns and the water illuminated; having the same effect it had on him last time.

She gently moved her hand over the burns, getting anything she missed last time,

"Korra if anything goes wrong I want you to leave me behind" she froze looking up at Mako

"No, Mako we get out of here together or we stay in here together" she said firmly, how could he expect her to do that? She would never just leave him, no way

"Korra, you need to get out of here. You're the avatar the world needs you, they don't need me"

"No? What about Bolin? What would he do if I just left you behind and Asami, she loves you Mako, you can't just expect to leave you here!" She said her voice slightly rising

"You're the Avatar Korra!"

"I'm expendable Mako! There will be another Avatar after me Mako, don't you get it?" the water had dropped from her hands, looking down

"My whole life, I have trained and trained for what? I can't Air Bend Mako, what's the point being the Avatar when I can't even do that…"

Mako than cupped her face

"You are not expendable to me Korra, I would rather die, than let any of them hurt you" A tear rolled down her eye, damn it; she didn't want to cry again. But she was so fragile lately she couldn't help it, she quickly stood up and walked to the other side of the room, her face to the wall.

"Korra there coming" Mako shot her a look and quickly put his shirt back on,

"Ready?" he asked

"Ready"

Two chi-blockers walked up to the cage with a two glasses of dirty water and a slice of break pushing them under the bars, alright time to put the plan into action. Korra needed to piss the chi-blockers off enough so they came close to the bars, that's when Mako and Korra would knock them out and take their uniforms.

"Chumps" she laughed

"Excuse me you bending filth?" one asked

"Locking me in a cell, because you're scared I would kick your butt like I did your other guys at the Pro-Bending arena? C'mon even Lin Bei Fong bet you, and she is as old as the hills"

Lin was going to kill her if she found out she said that

"Shut-up avatar or you will get what's coming to you earlier than expected"

This was her queue, she walked up to the bars praying that they were dumb enough to take her on, and they were

"Oh yeah? You want to fight me? I could beat you on my one good leg" She laughed and the chi-blocker came closer

"Avatar you will die, and your little boy friend in the next cell, we will make you watch as we gut him like a fish" she smiled

"Not before I do this" she grabbed his uniform and pulled his forward as hard as she could hitting his head on the bar. She heard a loud crack as his forehead hit the bar, but she was too focussed on Mako taking out the other one, just as she predicted the other one went to run to get help.

That was Mako's queue; he punched a huge flame in between his cell and the wall on the other side blocking his view. Korra bent the water from the drinks and the water she had been healing Mako with into a long shard of ice and thrust it into the chi-blockers leg. She quickly bent down to the one she had knocked into the bars and took his keys and unlocked the door

"Give me your uniform or the next one goes through your chest" she said with an evil glint in her eye, taking out the shard of ice and putting it centimetres away from his chest. Once they had the uniforms on Korra knocked him out, she was guessing from how hard she hit him he would be out for several hours, but she was certain she had killed the other one and a wave of nausea hit her.

No she couldn't worry about that right now; she had to get Mako and herself out. They started running down the direction the other two chi-blockers had come; she was panting and sweating again,

"Not now Korra, you need to get Mako out of here" she whispered to herself, when they arrived into what looked like the main corridor it was empty, this was probably a small hide out, Korra had already seen the main one.

They ran further and further, it felt like they had been running for hours with the lack of food and water in there system. They came to two hall ways at the end of the corridor

"Which one?" she panted

"Let's try this one" he said grabbing her hand and running to the right.

The corridors had feint lights lined on the walls and it was basically made out of anything a bender couldn't bend

"Clever" she mumbled, Mako didn't hear her though, he ran past several doors, but Mako knew what he was looking for, the ladder didn't have a door, it was just a long corridor with the ladder at the end of it.

When they reached the end they saw two chi-blockers and they instantly knew something was up

"State your name Chi-Blocker?" one asked, Mako and Korra didn't reply, Korra was first to react throwing a large wall of fire in between the two parties. Mako than ran through and through them to the wall as hard as he could knocking them un-conscious, one slightly moved after Mako had moved and Korra kicked him in the face so he wouldn't move

"We need to go before someone see's us" he said, he once again grabbed Korra's hand and run the direction they had just came, Korra's leg was worse than she thought, Amon had blood bent it into an awkward position and it honestly hurt like hell

"Mako, my leg" she huffed,

"Get on my back" he stopped pulling her onto his back, she didn't want to do it, but Mako was in less pain then she was.

He continued to run when he finally saw it, he saw the ladder

"Korra! Korra we made it!" there was so much hope in his voice Korra couldn't help but smile, but this all seemed so easy to her, to easy. Mako ran harder to the ladder taking Korra off his back and putting her in front of him just in case someone came by and dragged her back down; she quickly opened the latch and pulled Mako up. Once he was on his feet he looked at Korra, she was cut and bruised but she was alive, he pulled her in and hugged her she held him so tightly and breathed into his chest.

She then released him and looked into those eyes, damn those eyes. She loved him, and he loved her, but he was with Asami. Korra hated it but she knew Asami would be just as worried as she would be, god she hated this situation

"We have to go," she finally managed to speak, there was so much electricity between those two

"How?" he asked, they hadn't gotten to that stage in the plan

"If there is a river nearby we will be fine" she said, she knew if she had water she could get to the sea, and Republic City sat at the entrance of all the rivers to the ocean. She then grabbed his hand and ran outside.

"You thought you could get away that easy Avatar?" she heard a voice cackle, and from the black of the shadows a masked man stepped out towards the two benders.
