kidncpped:

                Her face contorted, eye brows furrowing as lips purse. Korra’s emotions were usually pretty easily read –– and she didn’t BUY his words. The Equalists were not a group that should be taken lightly. Non-benders were powerful in their own right. Zaheer still drew fear from the Avatar despite not being able to manipulate the elements. He had the most skill in hand-to-hand combat out of the Red Lotus, and Korra could only imagine the damage he could do with the supposed EQUALIST GLOVE.

“What?” Shin asked, finger at Korra’s chin forcing her to meet his gaze. “You don’t agree with Mako’s assessment? Scared of some non-benders?” He asked before dropping his hand from her chin and tossing his arm around her shoulders. His breath smelled of stale cigarettes. “Lemme tell ya, doll, he’s right.”

“I’m not scared,” she huffed, angling her shoulders away from Shin as she scooted out of the booth. “I just don’t think any one group or any one PERSON is invincible, and it’s dumb not to acknowledge threats.”

She didn’t look at Zolt –– she didn’t want to see his reaction to her words. Calling any Triple Threat Triad DUMB was probably a death wish, but she didn’t care. Underestimating an opponent was a rookie mistake, and it was what separated groups like the Triads from the Red Lotus. The Red Lotus left NOTHING to chance. Every angle was evaluated, every plan –– thoroughly thought through, and every action –– DELIBERATE. 

It pained her to see such arrogance in the Triads.

“I’m headed out –– I’ll be back tonight,” Korra said, nodding towards Shin before turning on her heel towards the door. SHE NEEDED AIR.

Observes her momentarily, seeing how her face contorts and brows furrow. Did she not agree? If the case were that, it didn’t matter much. Chances were she hadn’t a clue about any of it. The firebender had handled plenty in the past, this wouldn’t be anything new. 

“Of course no one is invincible.” Commentary as he lifts the teacup to his lips once more, eyes steadily on the liquid inside. “But the Equalists aren’t much of a threat.” Said because he didn’t want to believe otherwise. A group of people taking bending away with a glove? Terrifying in theory and surely worse in execution if it worked. Right now, however, it’s not something they have to worry overly about. That didn’t mean his guard wasn’t up, sometimes it was necessary to say things that would please the head.

Acknowledges her words, keeps golden eyes cast down as she leaves the teahouse. Moments later, after his tea is drained and the cup set down, he raises to his feet. “Excuse me.” And soon he finds himself outside of the teahouse, looking for and finding their newest addition. 

“Taking threats lightly makes them feel good, you’ll learn that.” Pause. “So what’s a girl like you doing with the Triads?” Haven’t spoken privately before now and originally he hadn’t had any intentions of interaction.

Eyes watch with care, seeing her hand reach for the teapot, pouring tea with care. Then they scan their surroundings, a nicer place than he had been when he was younger. Everything with the Triads seemed pleasant due to their wealth. Nothing half done. 

Briefly was his gaze around then dropped to his hands, where he had been looking for most of the time. Calloused, worn, broken down. Their new addition to the group didn’t phase him, he didn’t think much or anything of her. At this point, she was just like he had been all those years ago. So, so many years ago. 

Now his own hands reached for the teapot the woman had settled back down on the table. The poor girl, she had no idea really what she was getting into. This life was a rough one and perhaps she didn’t realize that yet. In time, she’d learn. Poured the still hot jasmine tea into his own cup with the same floral pattern. A sense of comfort brought to him as he lifted it up to touch his lips, sipping from the small cup. Warm on his tongue, down his throat as steam rose upwards.

Takes a moment to register he’s being talked to and with calm demeanor, he answers him. “ The Equalists aren’t anything we have to worry about. “ Put simply, he didn’t see them as any kind of threat. “ They’re a force to be laughed at if anything. Nothing we can’t handle anyway. “

                She reached for the tea pot sitting on the table, pouring hot jasmine tea into her small, floral cup. It was a nicer tea house –– nothing like the places Korra had gone to with the Red Lotus. They didn’t spend what money they were able to steal on such frivolous things, LIKE ATMOSPHERE. Any shabby market that had fish or jerky would let them scrape by on only a few yuans. But things were different with the Triads –– the group was wealthy, and seemed to flaunt that wealth wherever possible, even in a small upscale tea house on the north side of the city.

Korra sat beside Shady Shin in the small booth. He had vouched for her to Zolt and was the reason she was now among the ranks of the Triads, so she stuck by him whenever possible. He wasn’t the best guy, but he was a REPUTABLE gangster and offered Korra at least some protection. Two-Toed Ping ( or was it Three-Toed Ping? ) sat on Shin’s other side, and across the table was Zolt and a man who’s golden eyes mostly looked at his hands despite being directly across from her. She got the sense that he was Zolt’s second-in-command. Weird, because he must have been at least five years Shin’s junior and she had never seen him around the quarters before.

“What’d’ya think?” Zolt asked, eyes turning to his second. His voice was rough, and his gaze –– intense. “SPIRITS BE DAMNED if those flamin’ Equalists think they can create enough charge in a GLOVE to drive benders out of the city. They need a good kick in the ass –– set ‘em straight –– That’s what I think.”

Her blue eyes flashed up, first glancing at Zolt before returning to the man across from her. She couldn’t imagine his voice being as abrasive as their leader’s.

hey like this for a lyric starter

catch me crying about mako’s character development, what a beautiful thing

[fireled-blog]

‘i thought i might have lost you.’

Head shakes, seeing how distraught his love was. Arm wrapped in cast, hugging his chest due to his actions. Underneath was a much worse scene which he hoped to save her from seeing. Uninjured hand lifts, wrapping around her waist and pulling her close to offer comfort, to give reassurance. “ You could never lose me. “ Whispered softly in her ear as eyes flutter close. 

He’s sure she can feel his body shaking with the position he’s holding her. Truthfully, he had been prepared to die during that time. His sacrifice for her, always for her. Refused, however, to admit that to her, that he hadn’t been sure he would make it out alive. It’s a miracle he had survived, honestly. “ I wouldn’t have let that happen. “ Even though if it was for her, he wouldn’t have hesitated in doing what must be done. “ I promise. “

*SMOOCHES MAKO*

Cheeks flush and hand lifts, finger absently rubbing his temple in that sheepish way he gets. Eyes turn the other way briefly, lips press together, trying to articulate words before gaze drifts back to the water bender. “ What was that for? “ Inquiry placed on the table as throat clears. Despite how he responds verbally, his expression is a telltale that he didn’t mind, he found it rather pleasant actually. Korra had simply caught him off guard as she tended to do, that was all.

Still, after a moment, his hand falls, taking her own. Pulling her forward, lips collide and his other hand finds itself at the back of her neck. God, he relished the taste of her, the feeling of her. To him, she was intoxicating. “ Thank you. “ Muttered out when he had pulled back.

[fireled-blog]

Nose crinkles and mouth twitches together at the observation. Korra always did know how to guess him perfectly. Moments like this, he found it annoying but knows she means well and complies with her question in his own way. “ Nothing particular. “ When wasn’t he in a sour mood anyway? However, as he spoke, fingers grasped a file folder, shoving it under scattered paper. Work as usual.

it seemed like it had been a decade since she’s seen him, arms never faulting their embrace around him . there was a small moment of tranquility that she felt being in his arms just like this- a feeling she hasn’t felt since they were together all those years ago . the memory of them together never did leave her and even then, they were still close than they ever were before- and she couldn’t ask for anyone else to be by her side .“ hopefully i didn’t keep you waiting . “ she smiled, the rush of the spin and the feel of himself holding her up was enough to tell he missed her . “ i guess before i go back to my avatar duties, we should have a chance to talk . “ 

A brief window of opportunity allowed the man a deep breath, a slight calm washing over him. Her presence did that for him and only now did he recognize the fact. “ You could never keep me waiting. “ Even if she did, for her, he would wait forever. A smile returned, a signature of his, lips quirked just slightly. Realizing he still had in the air, feet drifting above the ground, he hurriedly set her down. Clearing his throat, trying to push away any awkwardness he might have made. However, arms stayed firmly around her, not wanting to let go completely. A nod, revealing understanding. “ We should if you have the time now. “ Before she was too busy to talk, too busy for him.

like for a starter from this boi !!

With the absence of the Avatar, the days felt slower and seemed to dredge on. The firebender had taken to distracting himself with work and the occasional reading to fill the void left behind. Catching word she would be back soon, he spared no time in making his way toward the Spirit Portal to be the first person she encountered.

Stepped out of the portal and eyes met, amber gaze watching her start to him and grin spreading across his thin lips. Mako. Just hearing her voice delighted him and he began in her direction. “ Korra! “ Yelled back as his arms opened for her once he saw her intention. Her arms wrapped snug around him and his securely around her, picking her up and giving her a spin. “ It’s so good to see you too, Korra. “ Still hasn’t quite put her down, finding himself mesmerized by her.

against the calm serenity the spirit world brought, she was back again through the yellow light of the portal that made itself home in republic city . with the light out of the way, she could see the city again, still in shambles from what had occurred, the memory of the battle still fresh in her mind . still even after spending time in the spirit world she still felt an ache in her muscles she couldn’t get rid of . she hadn’t taken a full step until she noticed him, surely he’d gotten word of their arrival back and it wasn’t long until she was moving towards him- “ mako! “ his name poured out of her lips like she was home- another second and she threw herself at him, arms wrapping snugly around his frame . 

“ it’s so good to see you . “
