The Wandering Hero. Asami X Male Reader (Marked For Rework)

Chapter Twenty Eight: It's Okay To Not Be Okay.

(Your POV)

Korra didn't wake up again once we got back. In fact, she was sleeping for three days straight but when she did awaken... We learned she couldn't walk anymore. The mercury had eaten at her leg muscles to the point they are almost all gone. She hasn't taken it well. None of us have to be fair. Connor has been... Quiet and distant since we got back... Learning his own father was willing to kill him must be a bitter pill to swallow. It just makes me more determined to find Kasai. I am sitting next to Asami and Connor right now as the president gives some shit speech about what has happened. The way he's talking is irritating me to the point I am about to stand up and say something. The only thing stopping me is the idea it could cause Korra more grief than she already has. I look over and see Connor holding one of Korra's hands so she can squeeze the stress out as best she can. The president brings up great sacrifices and what not and this is the final nail in that damn coffin. I go to stand but I feel someone grab my free hand. I look down and see Asami shaking her head at me. I am very tempted to just walk up there regardless of she's attached or not but ultimately, I sigh and sit down scowling at the stage. Once it is over and everyone begins leaving, I, against hat I can assume is Asami's wishes, I walk up to the bastard president and push past the reporters.

You: "You wouldn't know the meaning of the word 'sacrifice.'" I said to him full of scorn. I hear the reporters go silent at that. "You know, the air nation was almost destroyed again and The Avatar was almost killed. Even though she survived she can't walk anymore. Yet you speak of her as if she's not here." I say to him sneering. He keeps his calm face and I make a near growling sound. We have a stare down as glare into his eyes. I can see him shrink a bit and I scoff. I shake my head and walk off and as soon as I step off I can hear the reporters ask him allot of questions. A mild discomfort for him sure but still. It makes me feel good. I walk back over to the group and shake my head. "Now what? All this did was piss me off." I said a bit angrily. I feel Asami grab my arm gently to try and calm me down.

Tonraq: "Our ship won't be leaving until late this afternoon... That and we still have Jinora's ceremony to attend to." Tonraq said sounding a tad peeved. Ah. At least I'm not alone. I nod and we all begin walking back to the temple. Though Connor is pushing Korra's wheelchair in place of one of her parents. He's been super close to Korra since the accident... Maybe he feels responsible in some way... Damn that Kasai...

Asami: "What are you thinking about?" I hear Asami ask me kindly. I look at her and without having to explain anything she just nods. "Its... Not going to be easy." Asami said sadly. I sighed and agreed with her. I look at Korra and see she's just looking at her lap as Connor pushes her.

You: "Nothing will be the same again." I whispered to myself. It wasn't meant to be heard by anyone but I feel a soft hand grab my own.. I grip it back gently knowing its Asami trying to comfort me. I look at her and I see her giving me a soft look. She pulls my arm, down to tell me to lean towards her and I do. She kisses my forehead gently and I smile a small bit. She pulls back and has a soft smile on her face though I can see the look of worry in her eyes... Yeah... Nothing will ever be the same again and we all know it.

*SMALL TIMESKIP*

(Still Your POV)

I am currently watching as Jinora gets her head shaved... I don't get it. They will only see her forehead when her hair grows back so why the hell should they shave her head? Just tattoo the forehead. I know it's like, a tradition and stuff but it makes no sense to me at all. She doesn't seem to mind though. In fact she seems rather happy this is happening. That's enough for me. After all the crap she's gone through she deserves to be happy. A small moment of levity in this shit situation. Korra doesn't look happy to no one's shock. Tatsu says she's trying to speak with Raava in her way but he's not in the mood to talk. Maybe he thinks he made it worse by not controlling Korra's actions more... or he's just upset. I shake my head from the thought as Tenzin announces that Jinora is an official air bending master. We all applauded and cheered for her. As the celebration of sorts started me and Asami went over to Connor and Korra. We sat down with them.
