Book 1 - Risen (Avatar Korra X Male Reader)

Prolog

Your POV:

I am a cop.

Finally.

Well, I'm not sure if finally is the right word, but yeah.
I know my life so far wasn't as good as it could be, but I am more then aware that it could be worse, much worse, although I don't know how.

Nobody, me included, don't know when or where I was born. My very first memory is on some spirit's forgotten orphanage full of other kids I don't even remember.

When I was 8 or so and nobody still didn't want to adopt me, they just kick me out only with my clothes on.

Since then some time I have to do things I am not proud, so I could suvive. But it wasn't bat at all. I finally manage to find myself some real friends, maybe you know them, it was two brothers.

Mako, firebender, always the calm one, and Bolin, earthbender and one of the best freaking people I've ever met.

These two were about same age, but spent much more time on streets of Republic City.

They found me one stormy night under bridge in the worst part of city and with this have begun completely new chapter for me.

Living, or better said suviving with brothers was realy great, they treated me as their third sibling and everything, but nothing lasts forever, thats what my life've taught me.

Few years after, brothers started training on Probending Championship, all they needed was waterbender.

I have to say they were pretty skilled, as well as me. Thats what living on streets do to you, so we have to split.

I know what you're probably thinking right now "Why didn't I go with them?" or "Why not Probending?"

Maybe I should tell on the start, but I am a nonbender.

Yeah.

A freaking NONBENDER.

Honestly, I've tried everything, and by that I mean realy everything I could, besides airbending of course. As far as I, and the rest of the world, know there is just one airbending master named Tenzin and I am pretty sure he doesn't have some spare time to try out teach me.

All I know is fist fights, together with lasso, belive me that's long story, and chi-blocking, at least basics. I know, not so common but these are only things that works for me.

After our split up, I was about 13, I just went through Republic City in order to find job.

When I've finally found one, it was in Vegetable shop with Chu, who was older man, around 50 or so, and who treat me good, even when he found out I was an orphan, not exactly as father, but as realy good friend.

I didn't get much money from my work, but still, I have place to stay, food and get to know some customers, mostly who came to us regularly, included Pema, who is Tenzin's wife, with her kids. It was prety good three years of my life.
It's not like I wanted to go, but one normal afternoon couple of Triple Thread Triads went by and with it....

Well, everything.

When IT happened I was out of city, but my friend wasn't so lucky.
Chief Beifong told me what happened the second I returned and I wont't lie to myself, it destroyed me.

Out of blue, I was without home, without money, without any plans nor ideas and most importantly without my only family.

I was crushed and returned back to streets, hopefuly moving over.
Need to say I genuinely love techology, so when I overheard Hiroshi Sato himself is hiring engineers I was thrilled, yes I know it was probably stupid idea, but at that time it seemed like good one.

I get to work at Future Industries, at first as regural mechanic, than as designer. I was good, if I can say so myself. With money I get I could buy a small garage back at dock, which I remodeled to what I call home.

I even get to know Mr. Sato's daughter, Asami. She is realy smart, funny and beautiful. Yep, I probably had a little crush on her, but hey, don't judge me I was 16 back then.

Life seems go well some time, probably too fine, becouse one day, yeah again, universe probably likes kicking me, Hiroshi just fired me. It's been quite time and I still don't know why. And what's worse I have to left my best ideas in Future Industries. That bastard.

And with that, I decided. I always wanted to help people, so I went to join Republic City Police Department or most commonly known just as RCPD or Police.

Me being nonbender didn't help me at all, what helped me was my chi-blocking training while I worked for Sato.

Others recruits and even some teachers picked me up becouse of this, but I manage, somehow.

And today it is. Whole new chapter of my life as a cop. I am nearly 18 and I am a cop.

Okay, calm dawn man.

I just hope it'll be worth it. That I'll prove myself.

I belive I've got something others don't, my rough and unforgiving life. I was thrown to the ground a few times, but I manage to always get up, becouse The only reason you fall, is to learn how to stand up.
