The Myth of Y/N (Korra X Reader)

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Y/N'S POV

It's been a few days since the "revelation". I've tried talking to Korra about it, attempted to get her to open up, but she hasn't budged. I don't want to force her to talk about it if she doesn't want to, but it's clear what we saw really shook her up. Every time someone even mentions Amon or the Equalists she becomes more distant or starts sweating. I've also noticed the bags under her eyes. If this becomes out of hand, I guess I have no choice but to confront her straight up about the problem.

Ever since my fights with the Equalists I realised I needed to become a better fighter, so I can defend myself and my friends. I borrowed a chi-blocking tutorial book from a library and I've been practicing the techniques. Surprisingly I've learned the moves pretty quickly. I don't want to sound arrogant or anything but if I keep this pace up it won't be long until I fully master it. 

Speaking of chi-blocking, I'm currently practicing the moves right now whilst Korra is attempting to airbend again. We brought the radio outside to play some fun music whilst we do our training. We haven't spoken a word yet, fully focused on what we're doing. 

Suddenly, the music begins to be filled with static as a voice pours out of the radio.

"Good evening, my fellow Equalists. This is your leader, Amon."

Korra and I both freeze. It's him again. That voice still sends shivers down my spine.

"As you have heard, the Republic Council has voted to make me public enemy number one, proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution. But we cannot be stopped. Our numbers grow stronger by the day. You no longer have to live in fear. The time has come for benders to experience fear."

And after that terrifying speech, the voice fades away, cutting back to the jolly music we were listening to moments ago.

I look at Korra. She hasn't moved an inch.

I take a deep breath and slowly approach her. Spirits, she looks terrified. Eyes widened, sweat on her face. She looks like she saw a ghost.

"Korra," I say in a calm, quiet tone, "are you okay?"

My voice snaps my best friend out of her trance, as she looks away from me. "I'm fine, Y/N. I'm going to stop training for the night."

I sigh heavily. "Korra, we both know you're not fine. It's fine to be scared. I'm terrified! I just want to make sure you're alri-"

"-Why?" Korra interrupts me, her voice stern.

I pause for a few seconds, processing what she said. "I'm sorry?"

"Why are you terrified? You can't even bend." she says to me coldly.

I widen my eyes for a second and then relax. "Korra," I say cautiously, "just because I'm a non-bender doesn't mean I can't be scared. I'm terrified for you, I don't want to see you getting hurt. I know how much this means to you."

Korra sighs and drops her head. "I know, I'm sorry for what I said."

"It's alright." I assure her, "Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

Korra hesitates for a moment, before tensing up. "No, I'm fine Y/N. Have a good night."

I look down to my feet. "Have a good night, Korra. I'm always there if you want to talk." I say to her, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice.

As she walks away, I think about whether I should go to bed too. I look back and see the chi-blocking book on the stool I placed it on.

Korra is horrified by Amon. I want, no, NEED to protect her at all costs. I will not let anyone harm her as long as I breathe.
