                The last few of the White Lotus guards arrived at Republic City with Asami and Kurana. They drove through the streets lightning fast and were lucky to avoid other cars. They arrived at the Central Medical Centre in the heart of Republic City. The doctors and nurses rushed Asami’s lifeless body to the emergency room. Kurana was trembling. To see that much blood cover her arms was something she can never be used to.

Kurana’s thoughts fogged her mind. “What if she never wakes up?!? How am I supposed to seek my destiny?! Why is this happening to me?!”. She briskly walked back and forth inside the waiting lounge. White Lotus Sentries were sent by the other guards to watch over her in case anything happens. After half an hour has passed, a man wearing a green polo forcefully pushed open the main doors of the waiting lounge. Kurana snapped out of her thoughts as the man’s loud shouting crawled throughout the room.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!” Kurana was startled as the loud man stomped through the hallway she was in. Several of the White Lotus Sentries held their defensive stance but suddenly straightened up with the presence of the man. His long sleeves were folded high until it reached the elbows. His polo had the common mandarin collar standing out. A short goatee grew on the man’s chin but didn’t go all the way to form a moustache. This man had buff and bulky arms which matched his tough look.

The man caught Kurana’s stare at him. “WHO ARE YOU?” the man yelled in front of her face.

“Uh-umm, I-I’m K-Kurana, sir.” Kurana replied while trying to search for words to say.

The man realized how he scared the young girl he was talking to. He sighed “I’m sorry, kid. I just got really worried about my friend in there.” He pointed towards a glass pane where Asami could be seen inside the room. Kurana looked at the man and curiously asked

“Asami? How do you know her?” her stuttering halted and the young Avatar’s courageous personality appeared.

The man was also surprised on how this girl could’ve known his good friend, Asami. a surprising idea popped in the man’s head

“W-wait, how do you know her too? ARE YOU LIKE…HER DAUGHTER?! She didn’t tell me that she and Korra had a child!”

Kurana gave the man a baffled look and shook her head “What?! No! My name’s Kurana and Asami found me in the slums of New Ba Sing Se.”

“New Ba Sing Se, huh? Hmm...wait…WAIT?!  ARE YOU-?!”

The man wondered for quite a bit and lifted his finger up in the air while his eyes grew huge in excitement.

“YES! I GET IT NOW! S-SHE FOOOOUND YOU!” the man’s eyes were building up tears. Kurana rolled her eyes and sighed.

“Yeah, I know. I already told yo-“before she could even finish, the man wrapped his ripped arms around the girl and lifted her in a bear hug. Kurana held on the man’s biceps while laughing as the man spun her around the air and held her up high.

“Welcome back, Korra! Err..Kurana! I knew you were going to come back for us!” the man cried as he was still holding Kurana up in the air, almost reaching the ceiling.

“I think you already know who I am” he chuckled and slowly placed the young girl back to the ground “It’s me! Bolin! Well, I know you don’t technically know me. BUT IT’S ME! YOUR BESTEST BUD IN REPUBLIC CITY! BOLIN THE MOVERSTAR!” he flexed his biceps up in the air and gave a seductive look. Kurana grossed out by the view of Bolin but giggled afterwards.

“Uh-uhmm, hi Bolin. I really can’t remember you, but I think we were really great friends in the past!” Kurana cheerfully praised the man.

“Oh yeah! We were reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally buds, together with Asami, Mako and my sweet darling, Opal!” he said that last name with the happiest smile and glistening eyes. This was the most awe Kurana has ever seen since she left her home. Kurana felt a sudden relief with Bolin around her.

                Kurana told Bolin how they got attacked near the Ancient City of the Sun Warriors and how much she misses her mom after she left her home. Bolin felt heavy weight pull on his heart as the young girl tells her story. Bolin thought that the girl was very young and a lot of horrible things happened to her at a young age. Kurana told Bolin that she needed to go to the bathroom. The moverstar gladly nodded and point her towards the nearest bathroom at the end of the west hallway. After the Avatar walked towards her destination, Bolin stood up and slowly walked towards the glass pane of the room Asami was in and leaned against it. He glanced at his old friend laying down on a bed, sleeping peacefully and how she still looked years younger when Bolin first met her.

                Asami had a few dried up scratches on the side of her cheek but, the wound on her forearms seem pinkish and Bolin knew that the healers did a really great job. He couldn’t resist the temptation to go inside to see her again, so he slowly opened the door and stepped inside the room. The room was so quiet that you could hear Asami’s breaths and heart beats. Bolin sat on an old chair at the side of the bed and grabbed Asami’s hand.

“Hey there, ‘Sami. It’s so nice to see you again after being away for spirits know how long.” Bolin couldn’t hold back his tears as they fell on the soft light blue bed. He wiped his tears away “Ya know, Mako’s been worried too, as much as I am! We thought you would never come back but, you did. Aaaaaand I already know you found her! Who knows how happy you are when you met her.” Bolin smiled and decided to give the CEO a kiss on the forehead “Hang in there, ‘Sami. We got you.”

                The last few words Bolin said made Asami’s fingers twitched a bit. Bolin held both his hands to his mouth in astonishment. Asami’s eyes blinked a bit and a few minutes later she was turning her aching head towards Bolin.

“Bo? Is that you?” Asami wondered

“ASAAAAMI!” Bolin screamed before carefully wrapping his arms over Asami’s neck.

Kurana returned from her trip to the bathroom and heard a loud screeching noise that tingled in her ear. She ran over to where she heard it and saw Bolin hugging Asami. Kurana was also in awe and quickly opened the door to Asami’s room where she jumped on top of the bed to join the hug.

                The CEO felt a slight pain at the side of her back and she pulled away from the two visitors. The earth benders looked at each other and glanced back at Asami at the same time.

“I’m so sorry ‘Sami! I didn’t me-“ Asami cut Bolin off with a groan of pain.

“AAARGGHH!” her scream could be heard even from outside the room.

Kurana ran out to call out for a doctor. Luckily, one was walking along the hallway and rushed towards the room. The doctor tended to Asami’s pain and bended a stream of liquid out of the hanging water sack on his side. He pressed on the wound and the water began to glow. Asami calmed down and rested her head on the pillow behind her so she could have a short nap.

A few minutes after the doctor left the room, a rough knock was heard on the door. A White Lotus Sentry peeked in the half open door.

“Uhm…sorry to disturb you Ms. Sato but, there’s someone here who wants to see you.” The guard said while switching glances from Asami to the person outside.

Asami annoyed for waking up “Ugh. Is it someone important?”

“Uhh..it’s the chief, M’am.” The sentry replied, scratching his head.

Asami wondered “Chief?” the visitor’s boots slowly clanged towards the room.

The man barged in and spoke up with a professional tone “Chief of Police, M’am.”

 Bolin stood up and stared at the visitor. With a short pause, Bolin muttered “Mako.”
