How does it feel

How does it feel 21

After the meeting

They planned to stay at Korra's place until the city was evacuated.

The ride back to her apartment was quiet. Korra and Asami were noticeably tense. Azula sat in the back seat seeming rather emotionless as she watched them.

Asami focuses on the road ahead of her as they turn on Azulan Avenue. Her heart was beating slow and hard in her chest as she gripped the steering wheel. She couldn't get the female firebender's words off her mind. Part of her felt that Azula was right. As soon as the woman's words left her mouth Asami remembered her first official date with Korra.

The pale skinned beauty would never forget that night nor the week following it. She had no control of herself. She had almost done something that she could never be forgiven for. Asami remembers feeling like she was going to lose her mind. She feels a slight chill recalling the memory of those bugs all over body.

Asami is so engrossed in thought that she passes their apartment. She jumps when Korra puts her hand on her shoulder.

"You..okay?" The avatar asks.

Asami blinks rapidly. "Huh? Yeah I'm fine. What's up?"

Korra furrows her brow softly. "We… just passed the house."

"Oh." The green eyed beauty comes to her senses looking around seeing they were 3 blocks away from their apartment. She takes a deep breath then does a U-turn.

After they park Azula immediately gets out of the car and begins to survey the area noticing the White Lotus sentries dashing across the rooftop. Korra takes her fiancé's hand while they sit in the car. Asami swallows softly breathing through her nose with lowered eyes.

Korra watches her for a moment before speaking unsure of what was bothering her partner. Sure there was about to be a world war, but after all she and the raven haired beauty had been through together, a war would be a piece of cake. "Asami, you okay? I know the meeting was tough…"

Asami interrupts her with a half hearted smile. "I'm fine. Just…have a lot on my mind."

Korra squeezes her hand and smiles softly. "We're strong enough…right?" Asami nods and they both move to get out of the car.

Azula briefly makes eye contact with Asami as she walks past her into the apartment. The amber eyed woman looks around the living room checking some of the closets and windows. "This place is sufficient….for now. Where are we sleeping?" She asks.

"'We" are sleeping upstairs… 'you're' in that bedroom down the hall there." Korra says.

"Then you're sleeping down here with me then." Azula says.

Korra furrows her brow defiantly. "No, I'm sleeping with Asami upstairs and YOU are sleeping downstairs."

"That's illogical. The most efficient means of guarding you is to stay in the same room with you." Azula argues.

The avatar huffs through her nose. "Look I'm the avatar and what I say goes. You're not sleeping with us alright. If I need your help I'll ask you. We'll be fine here okay." Korra says.

The amber eyed firebender locks eyes with Asami. "As you command…Avatar Korra." She says.

Asami averts her eyes as Azula walks into the back bedroom.

Korra rubs Asami's arms. "Hey, what's going on?" The concerned avatar asks her fiancé.

Asami takes a breath and half smiles. "It's nothing, I just need to head out to my office and make sure the production of the EMP system started." She looks into Korra's eyes. "I'll see you later tonight okay."
