Lin was highly impressed by the way you quickly rose through the ranks. Your interview had managed to impress her for the first time since she had become Chief. Which was a difficult feature in itself since Lin was hardly impressed by anyone or anything. The quickly you rose through the ranks, the closer the two of you became. She took you under her wing and thought you everything to help you become a better agent. When she had learned that you put in the transfer to become a detective, it upset her. She had come to enjoy being your partner and close friend. Losing you as her partner didn't mean that the two of you would stop being friends, it just meant the two of you would spend less time together. Something that the two of you greatly enjoyed. Everyone in the precinct believed the two of you were something more than friends with the amount that the two of you spent together but nothing came of it.
"The Chief is still not back, Mursi?"
The detective looked at you in shock, not understand why you weren't aware of what had happened last night.
"Did you not hear, (y/n)? Chief Beifong lost her bending. She quit the precinct..."
"What?!"
You didn't care to hear the rest of what he had to say. Your priority was to check on Lin then the next was trying to figure out why Lin hadn't told you what happened.

"I'm coming! Quit banging on my door."
Lin was grumpier than usual, meaning that whatever mission she had gone on, had not gone according to plan.
"(y/n), what are you doing here? You should be at work."
"So should you be. Imagine my surprise when I had to hear from detective Mursi that you had quit the force even worse when he told me that your bending had been taken away. What the hell happened Lin?"
Lin sighs and leads you back into her apartment to tell you everything that had happened. It annoyed you that she hadn't included you in such dangerous plan but there nothing you could do now.
"So, I quiet. I can't be Chief of Police if I don't have my bending."
"Lin, you're being ridiculous. You're bending is not the only thing that defines you as Chief of police."
"Yes, it does and you can't change my mind. I'm not going back. I'll find a job somewhere else."
"Lin.."
"I'm not changing my mind, (y/n). I dedicated my entire life to perfect my earth and metal bending, I'm nothing without out."
"Don't say that. You're more than your bending."
"No. I'm not. I can't protect people. I can't deal with Amon. I ca..can't do anything. I'm useless."
Lin starts crying for the first time since you had known her. She's always been strong about everything and it broke your heart to see her like this. You wrapped your arms around her shoulder and pulled her into a comforting hug. You were going to do anything you could to get her bending back. It broke your heart to see her like this and you knew that the only thing that could fix things was for Lin to get her bending back.

Lin might've quit the force but that didn't stop her from helping Korra and the others with Amon. Like old times, the two of you partnered up to help take down the equalists.
"You know, I forgot how good of a team we made. I can't believe that you seriously decided to become a detective. You were an excellent officer."
"Lin, you flatter me too much but that doesn't mean I'll go back to being an officer when you go back as Chief. I don't miss the long hours but I do miss you."
With the two of you distracted while talking about the old times, neither of you notice one of Amon's agents sneak up behind you. Lin doesn't notice until it's too late. She takes the shock before he has a chance to hurt you.
"Lin! You'll pay for that asshole."
You quickly dodge one of his hits and knock him out with a kick. Just as a precaution, you shocked him with his own glove.
Lin groans loudly as she sits up from where she had been shocked.
"Did we win?"
"I'm sure, Korra and the others have taken down Amon. You did save me, though. Thank you Lin."
You sat besides her, letting her head rest on your lap while you waited for the others. Lin's a little out of it, making her reveal more than she would've liked to.
"You're beautiful, (y/n). I've always wanted to kiss you but never had the courage."
Lin mumbled. You burned bright red, unsure of what to say. You've had the biggest crush on Lin too but she was still out of it from the shock.
"Thank you. You're gorgeous, Lin."
She closes her eyes with a satisfied smile. Neither of you said anything after, preferring to just enjoy being close to each other.

Neither of you brought up what had been said back in the arena. You had wanted to but always chickened out. It got to the point that you believed that you had made it all up.
Korra has just returned Lin's bending when she pulled you to the side to talk to you.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes..I mean no. Nothing, is wrong. I...I just.." Lin groans loudly, unable to properly say what she had in mind. Rather than continue struggling she pulled you in for a kiss.
"So worth the wait."
You tell her with a smile when the two of you pulled back.
"You could've kissed me earlier."
"I think I preferred this."
Lin rolls her eyes and pulls you in for another kiss.
