Sato Penthouse

Korra sits by her wife's bedside holding her hand. She was 75% sure that Asami had her memory back, but she was still nervous. What if it was just a fluke? What if Asami flipped out on her again? Korra gulps then shakes the thought from her mind. No, her Asami was back. She had to be.

Korra glances down at her wife's stomach remembering what she'd seen Azula doing at the factory. She lowers her eyes and grits her teeth. If anything happened to their baby she wasn't sure what she'd do. Maybe her and her alternate weren't so different after all because killing the deranged princess was the only solid thought in the Avatar's mind. What in the hell was wrong with Azula? Sure she'd regained her old memories but that didn't account for her new level of crazy, messed up childhood or not.

The Avatar gently squeezes her wife's hand. If she'd stayed with Asami until she woke up Azula wouldn't have been able to take her. 'I'm sorry.' Korra remembers her alternate back in the immortal world. That Korra was always running from Asami whenever things got rough. Korra takes a deep breath knowing she wouldn't make that same mistake. 'I'm not gonna leave this time… I promise.'

Chelse still felt uneasy about Korra as she peaked in on them. She was halfway tempted to force the young Avatar into another room just to keep her away from Asami. But there was no denying how much Korra cared about her. That didn't mean she had to be okay with it.

Chelse takes a deep breath then heads to the front door to let Asami's doctor in. She thought it was best to stay at the heiress's place since Azula had already been there. Besides they couldn't risk giving Katara's location away. It was bad enough that Mako was with them. Chelse was sure he was there to leak information to his sister.

Asami's penthouse was common ground. And on the off chance Azula tried to attack them there were only two ways to get in. Chelse also ordered the entire White Lotus to protect the building and put her top sentries on Asami's floor. Between them, her, and Korra they'd be safe. She had her most trusted guards keeping an eye out for any defectors among the lotus. Of course she also had Katara secretly keeping watch on those guards as well. She confined Mako to the guest bedroom. Even if he had listening devices on him they only worked within a certain range.

Chelse swallows softly before escorting Asami's doctor in.

Korra immediately stands to her feet. "Who are you?"

The stout old man had salt and pepper hair, a long grey beard, and a quiet smile. "I'm her physician miss." Korra protectively stands between him and Asami. Chelse moves to grab her but the mature doctor stops her then looks into Korra eyes. "I remember when my wife was pregnant with our first child. All I wanted to do was keep them safe. I'm sure you feel the same way. You don't have to protect them all by yourself anymore. Please allow me to help."

Korra furrows her brow then looks down at the man's name tag. "Iroh?"

The old man nods. "And you're Korra. Miss Sato has told me quite a bit about you." Chelse furrows her brow at that statement. What had Asami told him that she hadn't told her?

Korra steps to the side. Iroh smiles softly. "If it's alright with you, I think it would be best if you left the room Korra." Before the Avatar can speak he completes his thought. "Miss Sato is a very private person and I don't think that's changed just because she's unconscious. You are special to her but when we last spoke she said she didn't remember you. In light of that I'd prefer to respect her wishes."
