(Asami's pov)
We make it back to Air Temple Island and we rush inside. "Asami wha..." They all stare at Korra shocked. "What happened?" Tenzin said. "Korra has...has poison inside her" I say. Everyone all gasps. "Wait the poison is metallic" Jinora says. 'Metallic that means...'. I say in my head. Su comes to me and places her hand on Korra's forehead. She looks at me "I can get the poison out". I almost tear up but I hold it in. I sit down and cradles Korra while Su starts to bend the poison out. Then Korra shots awake and the poison comes out of her mouth. She coughs and I pat her back to help clear it up. She looks at me and smiles "Asami" "Korra" I cry and hugs her "I was so worried about you. I thought you were done for" "I'm so sorry Asami" I pull away and looks at her "No don't be sorry. The thing is your alright" "And so are you" she smiles and I smile back. "So what happened to you guys?" Su asks. "We uh...got kidnapped by Zaheer and the red lotus" I say and everyone looks shocked. "We need to do something about this right now" Lin says "And what do you suggest we do? They're too strong to face" Tenzin says "We'll think of something but for right now at least me and Korra are fine and that's what matters" I say and everyone just goes quite. "Asami...I can't feel my legs" Korra says and I look down at her shocked. "You can't what?" "I can't feel my legs" everyone goes shocked again. "I can heal her. We'll see how that goes and if it doesn't work then she's gonna have to go see Katara. Maybe she'll know what to do" Kya says. I nod and looks at Korra "Let's go get you healed okay?" she nods and I pick her up and follows Kya to the healing pool. I watch the water move back and forth and how bright it glows. I look at Korra and see how depressed she looks cause she wouldn't be able to walk anymore until she gets better. "The poison did a lot of damage but other than that I think you'll be fine" Kya says "Fine? Zaheer poisoned me and now I don't think I'm gonna be able to walk again" "You can't predict that Korra. It's gonna take a while for your legs to fully recover and you can walk again" she sighs "Alright, fine". Kya nods to me and I nod back. I walk over to Korra and helps her out of the pool. She waterbends her self dry and I pick her up and takes her to her room. I lay her down on the bed and lays down beside her. She lays her head on my chest and wraps her arm around me and I do the same. "Do you think I will be able to walk again?" "Korra...your the toughest, strongest, most fearsome person I know. I have faith in you that you will be able to walk again. You just have to believe in that. Okay?" "Yeah okay. Thanks Asami" "Your welcome love" I kiss her head "Now get some sleep okay?" she nods and falls asleep. Soon after I fall asleep too.

Three weeks has gone by and Korra still can't feel anything in her legs. She has become even more depressed and is frustrated cause she can't walk yet. She hasn't been getting any sleep lately either cause she's been having nightmares about Zaheer. She also hasn't been eating much. It just pains me to see her like this. She rarely talks to anyone even me. I mean I think I deserve it cause I didn't come up with anything to get revenge on the red lotus before this happened to her. It's my fault she's in this state not hers. I'm smart, I could've thought of something but I didn't. I'm supposed to protect Korra also. Bending or no bending. No excuses. I feel like a failure now. It kinda has a ring to it Asami Sato the failure.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" I ask walking in Korra's room. "My back is killing me and I still can't feel my legs" "Do you want to go get healed?" "What's the point? Healing me isn't gonna make the pain go away" "Korra" I sit down beside her and holds her hand "No one expects you to bounce back right away. It's only been three weeks. You need time to heal" she doesn't say anything "You know I'm here for you right? If you ever want to talk or anything but let's just get you healed alright? For me?" "Alright" she sighs "Let's go" I nod and brings the wheel chair that I made for Korra a few weeks ago that way it would be easier instead of having to carry her around every time to the side of the bed. I pick her up and sets her down in the wheel chair. Then I wheel her to the healing pool where Kya is. Once she's done getting healed I wheel her to bathroom to help her bathe. I can't help but blush every time her body becomes more visible. Once her clothes are off I pick her up and sets her down in the bathtub. I take off the shower head and turns on the water and makes sure it's warm and then I water down her body. I get the wash cloth and puts soap on it and scrubs her body. I start from her legs and then I go to her thighs. I look at her and sees that she's blushing and I can't help but blush back. Then I move to her torso and once I move to her chest I blush a shade redder. I look at her and she does the same. When I'm done scrubbing her body I wash it down. "Can you sit up real quick so I can sit behind you and wash your hair?" she nods and sits up. I get in and sits down behind her and she leans on me. I grab the shampoo and squirts some on my hand and then starts to scrub her hair. "I'm thinking of going to the South Pole to see Katara" she says and I stop what I do and process what she just said. "Asami?" I snap out of it and scrubs her hair again. "That's good Korra. Your at least going to get help and that's what matters. So I don't mind that your going" "Thanks" "Your welcome". I take her back to her room once I was done bathing her. I help her put on her pjs and I lay her down on the bed. I lay beside her and she does what she always does. Lays her head on my chest and wraps an arm around me. "Your not mad that I'm going right?" "No I'm glad that your going. Your finally going to get help from the best" she nods and starts to doze off to sleep. I sigh cause I don't want Korra to go but she needs to get better. Maybe she'll let me go with her. I kiss her forehead and sees her smile. I smile as well and then I fall asleep.
