Korra finally releases her partner and takes her hand. "Are you ready for this?" She asks softly. This wasn't an easy question for the young Avatar to ask. Korra was fully aware of what the mothers had done to her partner. She could see it, but she couldn't explain it. The mothers had changed both of them. Korra couldn't help thinking back to when they first returned from their vacation a month ago. What if Asami passed out again? This wasn't Asami's physical body. It was her consciousness that was about to pass through the portal. Korra had no idea how it would affect them.

Asami looks over Korra's shoulder at the portal. She lowers her head and gazes at their joined hands. This body didn't feel like her spirit body; it felt like her normal body. What would going through the portal do to her without Mizu? Asami squeezes Korra's hands sensing her lover's concern. She breathes out through puckered lips. "I'm not, but we have to do what we have to do, right?" She says looking up at her partner.

Korra smirks nervously. "Well, not exactly. I mean we could stay here for a while. I just thought going home would make things easier for us."

The raven-haired woman steps around her lover and faces the portal. "Then let's go."

They both take a deep breath then step into the pillar's golden light.

They successfully made it back to Republic City. Both women immediately begin examining themselves patting their bodies down making sure they were 'all there'.

Korra gulps watching her lover intently. "You okay?"

Asami exhales quietly. "Yeah, I think so."

Korra releases a slow apprehensive breath as she lowers her eyes. "Can you bend?" The Avatar asks.

Asami furrows her brow, she was not expecting the question. She swallows softly then raises her hand. Her eyes widen as a blue flame appears. "I guess so. Wow."

Korra swallows hard. "What about earth and water?"

Asami lowers her hand, confused by her wife's questions. "Korra, what's going on?"

"Can you try, please?" The young Avatar asks pointing to a small puddle of water a few yards away from them.

The young CEO sighs then plants her feet and moves her hands. To her surprise, the water rises along with a small boulder. Asami gulps exhaling slowly from her nose and lowering her hands. "Korra….how is this…possible?"

The caramel beauty releases a relieved sigh. "She's okay." The water tribe woman says softly.

"Korra?"

The young Avatar takes in a deep breath. "If you can still bend water then you and Mizu are still connected. It means…" Korra lowers her eyes. "It means she's still alive." She looks up at Asami unable to hide the heaviness of her heart.

Asami averts her eyes. Korra didn't need to say a word. The heiress could feel the guilt seeping from her lover's pores. Korra felt like she'd abandoned Mizu, a woman who may very well have been deceiving them for the past few months. The woman who impaled Chelse and is partly responsible for what was happening to them; that was the woman Korra felt she'd let down. Asami swallows hard and closes her eyes unable to shake the day's events from her mind. She didn't know who or what to believe anymore.
