Miss-AsamiSato

I woke up slowly. I felt really well rested, apart from an ache that tugged at my heart. That's when the last thing I remembered came back to me: mustache guy's bending, no connection to Raava. My eyes snapped open and I reached for our connection in a panic. "There is no need to fear, Korra. I am here." Her voice calmed me down immediately. Or at least it changed my panic to relief. "Raava! I'm so glad we're okay. We… are okay, right?" "Yes, we are largely unharmed. However-" "What hap-?" I winced internally. I hadn't meant to talk over her, but it sounded like she was done. I paused so she could continue, but she didn't and urged me o

I kept my eyes locked on Korra's as hers slid out of focus and started to glow white. When she would go into the Avatar state, they lit up quickly, but this seemed to take ages. It was agonizing. Takuma took a more solid stance and fought to stretch his fiery hands out to either side. The flames flickered constantly, dimming and flaring randomly. Korra was fighting, but Takuma was winning. Her head dropped and any hope I had left dropped with it. She would have fallen to the floor except for the chains. The flames on his hands grew brighter and stronger. A soft hum started to resonate from her. Slowly, it grew louder. Takuma must have been su

"Asami?" My head felt like it was full of static. Korra? "I'm afraid she's a little tied up at the moment. I think she'd be rather quiet for now even if she weren't. I'm sure she'd love to see you, though." "I swear, if you do anything to her-" My eyes fluttered open. I was on a boat, my hands and feet bound in shackles with a heavy chain linking them to a pole that supported the rear bench seat. I recognized the ship as one of Future Industries' smaller vessels; I wasn't going to be out muscling the craftsmanship. The sun was high in the sky, it must have been hours since I fought that guy. Since he'd beaten me. He was at the other end of th

Korra was still asleep when I woke up. She had gotten a lot less sleep than me, and I woke up before her more often than not anyway, so it wasn't too surprising. I gently pulled my arm out from underneath her and sat up. The sun was up and peeking through the window of our room, though it hadn't been up long. It was nice to have a reminder that the previous day was over. I sat there just looking at her for a while. I always liked seeing her so peaceful. Seeing her happy was my favorite, but I got to see that quite a bit when we were together. It just seemed like she always had something to be upset or worried about, so even when she was happy

I woke up a couple hours after sunrise. I still had like three different worries in the back of my mind: Asami, Dark Korra, and Izumi, but I felt better than I did the night before. I rolled over hoping to snuggle with Asami for a few minutes before I got up, but she wasn't there. That was disappointing, but I wasn't really surprised. When we slept together, she almost always woke up before me. I usually found her primping in the bathroom or making breakfast or something. I groaned into my pillow, then rolled out of bed to go find her. She wasn't in the bathroom that was connected to the guest room we'd slept in. Her pajamas were there though

I felt Korra's breath against my ear. "Asami?" I realized how quiet it had been, nearly silent apart from my crying. The tightness in my chest loosened almost instantly. Her voice was so soft and caring. I felt like I hadn't heard it in ages. "Asami, I'm really sorry, but I need your help." My breathing started to slow. My help? My help? "I'm gonna get us out of this, but I don't know where I'm going. Do you have any ideas?" Did she get turned around in the airship? I took a few deep breaths as I sat back in her arms and looked up into her incredibly blue eyes. She looked worried, almost scared. I pulled her into a hug, a real one, just for a

He was completely focused on the plasma saws. I kept my eyes on Kuvira's giant as the ice encasing its arm popped and cracked. "We need to get out of here." "Almost there," he replied. I could see through his window, it wasn't quite half done. Ice fell onto the glass above me, and I looked up to see more chunks breaking off. I started to really worry. We didn't have enough time. The giant was going to break free, we'd have to try again in another spot. "We have to go now!" 60%. "Almost there!" 70%. "Almost there!" 80%. The ice shattered and the arm burst free with a jerk. It pulled up, then started to arc down toward us. My worry turned to pa

Even with my waterbending, the swim to the island was rough, and having my wrists and ankles bound didn't help. The long swim didn't do any favors for my sore everything either. I tried to metalbend the chains and cuffs before I fell asleep, but got nothing. I wasn't too surprised, anybody who wanted to keep me locked up knew to use platinum. They'd have to wait until I wasn't so exhausted. I sprawled right out on the beach and was out right away. I felt a lot better when I woke up the next day. I had no idea what time it was, clouds had rolled in overnight and completely covered the sky so it was impossible to tell. I sat up and shook sand o

I couldn't seem to concentrate on the mechanics I'd brought. I kept thinking about Korra, about what they were going to do to her. I realized fairly quickly that I shouldn't be sitting there trying to invent something anyway. I needed all the help I could get, but I couldn't afford to wait until we got where they were going. There were five people in the attack and only four made it to the ship, and based on how long it took them to actually get the ship in the air, they didn't have accomplices waiting for the getaway. There was no telling how many more of them there might be waiting for them to get back to their hideout. My best chance would

There wasn't time to notice the flash of blue light before the window exploded behind me. I fell out of my chair and covered my head as shards of glass scattered everywhere. I looked up as Korra turned toward me, responding to the explosion, eyes still glowing and elements hovering. That was when the second flash of blue light came. A bolt of lightning snaked into the room through the missing window and straight into Korra's shoulder. She cried out in pain, and I saw the electricity arc to Izumi as well through Korra's hand. It was all over in a fraction of a second, and then Korra collapsed. I threw myself toward her, caught her before she h
