Chapter VI: The Dual Avatars' Guide

The ride to the air temples is silent, Wan is still marinating on the fact that he has been dead for nearly an entire era, while Korra is still not getting over the fact that Wan created the entire avatar cycle from one near world-ending mistake.

In short- awkward tension.

"So... First Avatar huh?" Korra starts off, "Yeah, I am the first..." Wan replies, still keeping that same tension in the air. "This won't change anything within us, right?" Korra asks a bit worried, Wan waves her off, "What, pfff no. I'm still me but with a lot of memories now."

"...what was it like, fusing with Raava?"

"Scary, really really scary. I didn't know what I was doing- wait how do you know that?"

"Oh, you know." Korra smirks. Wan facepalms, "Of course, Raava! She let you see my memories didn't she?"

"Yeah, you got yourself into a lot of trouble ten thousand years ago didn't you?" Korra teases a bit, smirking when Wan blushes. "Yeah, I was reckless."

"Oh I know."

"Yeah yeah, just get your shots Korra, I know you're itching for it."

"Oh no, I'm waiting to get my hands on Unalaq, so I can choke the life out of him. Fake avatar? I can't believe him, the disrespect was enormous," Korra rants. Wan chuckles, then shakes his head. "No no no no, I'm going to get my hands on Unalaq because he knew about Harmonic Convergence and lied to my face. Even worse, I think he knew who I was."

"It wouldn't surprise me," the female avatar shrugs as she directs the sky bison to turn right.

"I can't think of a motive, Vaatu hates humans, that's been said and shown. Why would he go so low for him unless he's desperate..." Wan strokes his goatee as he thinks.

"He could be," Korra mentions having a small grin on her face, "he was literally stuck in a tree by you."

"No, Vaatu doesn't just admit when he's been beaten. If Unalaq wants us to open the portal, he knows Vaatu is waiting in his prison. He could very well be weaponizing Vaatu to his own goals."

"Good theory, detective Avatar Wan," Korra jokes, as she continues to guide the bison. "Do you even know where we are going?" Wan asks Korra who grins a bit, "Tenzin has been drilling me on his itinerary. I hate to say it, but it's very useful right now."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Wan snickers to himself, Korra turns to Wan, glancing at him up and down. "Seriously, do you have a bad memory in general?"

Wan shrugs as he gives an amused grin, "Hey, what can I say...I'm prone to amnesia."

"Oh come on!" Korra shouts, the first avatar laughs after he calms down, Korra smiles. "You never change do you?" she sighs happily. "Nope. Same old me, just in a different time."

The Duo finally make it to the Eastern Air Temple.

Wan and Korra enter through the courtyard, to the airbending kids' excitement. "Wan! Korra! They're back." The kids hug the Avatar Duo, Tenzin stands up along with Kya and Bumi. "I missed you guys too." Wan rubs Ikki's hair making it a bit messy, "How did you two find us?" Kya asks. Wan points to Korra, "She did all the mapping."
