Korrasami Jamboree

Happy Anniversary

Korra couldn't remember exactly when the mission started to go awry. All she could remember what that surprise feeing of numbness that started from behind her. Then again, Korra remembered that she had her just been walking the streets of Republic City, looking for something special for Asami. It was their anniversary. Then she remembered that she was confronted by a group who blamed the Avatar for losing their homes in Republic City. Perhaps, it was just people who were frustrated that they couldn't exactly go back to their normal lives so soon. Korra remembered trying to reason with them. Then she couldn't quite remember anything else.

"Well, well. The almighty Avatar is finally awake." One of the men mentioned, mocking Korra.

Korra couldn't move. She still felt a little groggy it was like that time Zaheer tried to capture her in Zaofu.

"I don't know, man. I still think we should have just talked to her while we had the chance." One of the more reluctant men suggested.

"It's too late to talk about that, you idiot! We're here. We can get revenge!" Another replied angrily.

It was then that she felt that her fingers could move again.

Korra could feel a glimmer of hope in herself so she started to meditate, despite currently being tied up to a pole. She breathed in and out until she finally could feel that she was somewhere else. Korra was grateful that she practiced this technique with Jinora. Perhaps she could ask for help while her body recovered.

"You bitch. I am not letting you sleep again." One of the men said angrily.

Korra then was snapped wide awake by a punch. Now, Korra found it impossible to be able to meditate so instead, she patiently waited until her body could try to move again by itself.

Truth be told, she didn't want to harm these people. She could feel their frustration. Korra imagined if she was put in their situation, she too would feel angry and would try to pin the blame on someone just to rationalize their decision.

Slowly, Korra could find herself moving her mouth and fingers again. This left her wondering how long exactly since she has been abducted by these people. Was Asami worried? Was she looking for her? Korra's sense of time had all been lost. The room they were in was completely closed off, not a single opening but the door in sight.

"If you guys were going to capture me you should have put me in a straight jacket or something." Korra joked, her facial muscles finally connecting with what she wants to do.

"Why should we care? You're paralyzed!" A man retorted.

"Oh yeah…" Korra said, as if forgetting that fact.

One of the men who spoke earlier couldn't contain his anger and punched Korra's face, effectively leaving a bruise on her cheek.

Korra didn't want to reveal that she could already move her hands so instead, she spoke. "Anyone else? This doesn't have to be this way. I can help you."

"Some help you were when the Earth Empire attacked. You destroyed our homes!" The man who kicked her replied.

Somehow, the words stung at Korra. It was partly her fault that there was now a crater downtown and that so many people found their homes to be uninhabitable. Not to mention that the spirit vines have grown quite rapidly since the Spirit Portal opened. "Maybe you're right." Korra said remorsefully.
