Korra's light blue eyes scanned the parking lot.

"Dammit," She sighed, "No taxi's," Every yellow cab that drove by was always filled with people. The hot, summer sun shone down on Korra's tan skin and she felt over dressed in leggings and a hoodie.

After ten minutes and empty cab sailed by and Korra sprinted after it, draggings her suitcase harshly, her Super-dry rucksack banging painfully on her back.

"Hey! WAIT!!!" Korra yelled, using her powerful legs to sprint even faster. The yellow car stopped and Korra skidded to a halt beside it, hardly even puffed. 

"You run fast kid," The driver said cheerfully, leaning his head out the window. "Sorry, I musta' missed you! Hop in," 

Korra smiled gratefully and clambered inside the taxi, shoving her suitcase under her legs and then sitting back with a sigh.

"Where are you headed?"

Korra blinked and remembered, "Frennings Hotel,"

"Ahhhh, so you're here for that free running competition eh?" The driver said as he steered the taxi back onto the crowded road before taking a sharp left.

Korra nodded.

10 minutes later and the taxi pulled up outside a tall building with a shiny plaque on the door which read 'Frennings Lodgings and Hotel,'  along with it's moto 'Run like the wind, free'.

Korra handed over a few notes to the driver and stepped out of the taxi.

"Good luck!" He yelled at her before driving away. Korra grinned in delight and pulled her suitcase towards the entrance. Watch out world, the Avatar is here.

Mako walked over to the cafe inside Frennings. All the people inside were very well built because they were either spies, like himself, or world class free runners.

Mako slipped on his shades and walked inside the big room, the smell of coffee and croissants hit his nose in an instant. Comfy grey chairs were situated around small white tables.

Mako was undercover, posing as a spectator/ brother of a free runner who he saw in the corner of the cafe. The runner was of average height with bright green eyes and unruly black hair. His name was Bolin and he knew what and who Mako was. He was getting paid after all to act as Mako's famous brother.

Mako raised his hand in greeting and walked over to Bolin's table.

"Hey Mako!" He greeted cheerfully as Mako sat down and adjusted his shades.

"Hey,"

Bolin leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice.

"Any leads?"

"None, yet...," 

Bolin sat back in disappointment. Bolin was an earth bender and Mako, a fire bender. Bending was less common nowadays but almost half the people in the world still had it. The strangest thing was, when Avatar Roku had died, the next Avatar had disappeared and the one after that. The government had been alerted and a huge man-hunt had begun, but with no luck.

Obviously, the Avatar was very good at hiding. Mako had an idea what caused the Avatar to go into hiding, he had a shrewd suspicion it had something to do with the new government. He'd overheard plans to harness the Avatar and erase his/her memory and use them as a super weapon. Obviously the previous Avatar had heard too and told the next.

But, they had caught him and forced him to tell no one or else....his parents....might be............ And to be sure, they had erased his memory, but it was coming back to him, somehow......
