Asami notices the pressured look on her bodyguard's face as they drive to the park. "Chelse, I'll be fine. Even if Azula attacks us, she won't kill us. That's not what she's after."

The secret agent's jaw clenches as she squeezes the steering wheel. "You don't know that. I don't like any of this." The heiress opens her mouth to speak. Chelse glances at the back seat. "And I don't just mean Azula."

Korra shakes her head then turns to look out the window. Asami said she was gonna talk to Chelse. Apparently things didn't go so well. Korra knew that no matter what she did Chelse would always see her as an enemy. It wasn't her fault that other travelers used their world as a supermarket.

Asami half smiles then places her hand on her bodyguard's thigh. "Remember what we talked about okay."

Chelse glances down at her hand then huffs from her nose. It was a stark reminder that her boss was a traveler now too. She'd heard the heiress loud and clear back at the penthouse. Cooperate and get Asami back …or die. Chelse was knee deep in travelers and felt completely powerless to do anything about it. Even though Azula wasn't technically a traveler she had all the knowledge of one. It was the worst possible situation to be in.

Mako gulps feeling the tension in the car rising with every passing second. "Uhh, so what's the plan here? You guys gonna use your magic to stop her right? Then maybe take her to an asylum or something?"

Korra lowers her eyes already knowing what her wife had planned for their shared ex-boyfriend.

Asami speaks up. "Mako how far are you willing to go to help your sister?"

The former firebender thinks for a moment. "I-I don't really know. I mean…after everything she's done…"

"Would you kill her?" Chelse asks.

Korra finally looks up. "Hey, what's your problem? We already talked about this. No one is killing anyone."

Chelse focuses on the road ahead. "That's what you really want to know isn't it Miss Sato."

The heiress lowers her eyes not at all appreciating her assistant's candidness. She'd definitely heard their conversation last night. Asami turns to look into the young man's eyes. "Mako, do you know anything about the people from the factory?"

He shakes his head. "No. But I know they're the ones who chained me up."

"Have you heard of the Red Lotus?" Asami asks.

"The terrorist group?" Mako says. Asami nods. His eyes widen when he realizes what she's insinuating. "No. No way." He lowers his eyes furrowing his brow taking a panting breath. "I know she's been mixed up with some rough people in the past but she's, she's not a killer. She wouldn't go that far."

"And if she did, what would you be willing to do?" Asami says.

"I-I-I don't know." Mako stammers in complete shock.

"We're here." Chelse says pulling up at one of the park entrances.

Asami quickly gets out of the car and opens the back door. "Mako, if you really wanna help her I need you to follow our lead okay."
