Burning Bright - A Legend of Korra Fic

Chapter 26 - "Yeah! Go For It, Bro!"

When morning came the metal domes covering Zaofu bloomed, bringing warmth and sunlight to the city.

Breakfast was served promptly as everyone gathered in the dining hall, almost everyone that is. A few stray seats were left unoccupied.

"Hey, has anyone seen Chief Beifong?" Mako asked

"I think she's still sulking in her room," Korra said

"I know she has a problem with me, but she had no right to yell at Opal last night," Suyin said

Mako looked around the table again noting a lack of golden hair.

"Has anyone seen Chai?" He asked

"I stopped by her room to tell her about breakfast, but she wasn't in there," Asami said

At that moment Wei and Wing ran into the room heading to the basket of fruit on the table. A few seconds later Chai came in too.

"Morning guys!" Chai greeted

"Chai, where have you been?" Korra asked

"I was with Wei and Wing," Chai stated

Mako, who had started to take a drink out of his cup choked, coughing up some water.

"What were you three doing?" Asami asked

"They were teaching me their power disc game," Chai said

"But you can't earthbend," Korra said with an amused smile.

"Yeah I know I can't really score and just dodge, but it's still fun to learn," Chai said

Suyin chuckled. "You really are your mother's daughter. She wanted to learn anything and everything."

Chai smiled brightly at the comment.

Suyin looked to her sons, "All set for your power disc game, guys?"

"Yeah, all set to kick Wei's butt," Wing said

"I wanna power disc your face." Wei looked at Korra. "You should come play with us."

"Um. I don't think I'd be much competition, since I can't metalbend," Korra said

Suyin raised a brow. "Really. Lin never offered to train you?"

"Nope. And I guessed I never thought to bring it up because I was learning to airbend, then there was the pro-bending, then I got tied up fighting Equalists. It was a busy few months," Korra said

"Well, it's probably for the best. I'm sure Lin would be a horrible teacher. As the Avatar, you should have mastery over all the elements. I'd be happy to show you the basics," Suyin said

"Really? That would be great!" Korra said

"You should try it, too," Opal said to Bolin.

"Uh, nah. I'm more of an earth guy. The dirt, rocks, y'know, maybe some light gravel. That's kinda where my heart is," Bolin said

"Okay, Earth Guy. Well, let me know if you change your mind," Suyin said

Suddenly Suyin's necklace started to float moving forward, being pulled by an unseen force. All of the cutlery on the table started to shake then shot out.

Everyone ducked under the table for cover. Chai, who was standing in front of the table screamed, falling back. The loud clatter of the metal cutlery sounded as it hit something.

"It worked! Zhu Li, mark it down."

Everyone peeks out from behind the table to see Varrick wearing a suit made of metal, a large magnet in the center of the chest plate.
