AN: Okay I finally posted something new after the previous mad rambling attempt at fan-fiction, yay me, and so here we have my second mad rambling attempt at an-fiction, yay. Heads up, I have a rather 'intense' dislike of Mako, this will most likely result in some Mako-bashing in later chapters, but I will try to be fair ('try' being the word) to the best of my ability.

It had been a long year, Republic city had just about recovered from the Equalist uprising, regardless the police were still being vigilant; the entire movement disappearing overnight due to the loss of their leader would've been foolish to hope for. Despite the discontent still stirring in the city it was important that they take reasons to celebrate.

"...and so I'd like to welcome you all the first annual Future Industries charity gala, thank you all for coming." I finished up with a respectful bow as the room was filled with thunderous applause of all the guests that had decided to attend. I descended the stairs as the reporters cameras started to snap and flash, and the before the questions could really begin I cut in, "Please hold all questions until the end of the evening."

The gala was as much symbolic as it was for charity, a symbol of the new face of Future Industries, my father had damaged much of the company's image with his support of Amon. The reporters dispersed by the time I reached the bottom, revealing a friendly face, something of a rarity these days, "Chief Bei Fong, what a pleasure to see you here this evening." The chief had gotten her job back not long after her bending.

"Likewise Ms. Sato, and once again it's just Lin to my friends."

"Yet you still call me 'Ms. Sato'?" I cocked a playful eyebrow at the minor hypocrisy. Suffice to say that with all the money Future Industries had donated to the city and put into the reconstruction, Lin and I had gotten to know each other pretty well.

"Touché." replied Lin with a smirk. "Quite the gathering here."

"It's a good turn out." It really was even if someone was missing.

"I would think you'd hoped for someone in particular." Lin's obvious hint was almost painful.

"Lin."

"Asami." First names, things could get messy.

"Not the time."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." The older woman directed her gaze across the room so as to attempt to hide her sly smirk, fruitlessly. "You've pulled off quite a bit in this last year, some rather brillinat."

"The new armour comfortable?" The metalbender corps needed some new armour after Equalist tazer-gloves started turning up on the black market.

"Quite, though next time get someone else to help test it." Insulating the armour proved more difficult than first expected, as indicated by the Chief's slight squirming at the memory. "But are you sure about the -"

"Yes, we've been over this." I interrupted, the most controversial idea I had proposed to the council, had also been a point of contention with the Chief. "It's a good idea and you know it."

"Offering chi-blocking training to just anyone hardly seems like a good idea." was the chief's counter-argument. "It makes it easier for the Equalists to get new recruits.

"It also eliminates one of their main recruiting points," I grabbed a few glasses from a passing waiter, quick smile and nod as I handed one to the Chief, "How many chi-blockers do you think joined the Equalists just so they wouldn't have to be afraid of the Triads, and do I have to mention Tarrlok's 'attempts' at stopping an 'Equalist rally'?"

"Point taken, still hard to believe you got that authorized."

"The trick was getting some Kyoshi warriors to endorse the idea and sign up as instructors." It had been nice to get away from the city, with all the board meetings, petitioning the council for the chi-blocking school and enduring the slurs of people unwilling to look past my surname. "They were very enthusiastic about passing on what they know."

"I can imagine getting away from their little fishing town would also be appealing." Lin was about to say something else when-

"Asami!" I heard the voice I'd been waiting to hear for months.

"Korra." She had the same dress on from the first time they'd met, her hair in the same wolf tail and bangs as always, "It's great to see you, it's been too long."

"Way too long," Korra's arms were suddenly wrapped around me with enough strength to haul me off the floor, luckily I'd stopped blushing by the time she put me down "Airbending training gets so boring after awhile and all the spirit stuff just isn't my thing; Lin! It's good to see you too-"

"Please don't hug me." the Chief's response had me giggling and Korra sticking her tongue out playfully before quipping back "If that's your attitude then you don't get a hug. Anyway, you been keeping an eye on Asami here?"

"I believe that Ms. Sato is more than capable of defending herself." Damn straight.

"Yeah remember that time she saved both of us, Mako, Tenzin and Bolin from Amon's goons, this girl kicks ass." the Chief choked a little on her drink at the mention of that particular night, I froze for a moment. Selfish it may be I was glad that Korra didn't notice my eye twitch. "I probably shouldn't have mentioned that, bad memories."

"It's okay, I've put it behind me," I placed my hand on the young Avatar's shoulder to try and alleviate the tension, with limited success as an awkward silence began to set in.

"Well I'm off to mingle for a bit, later you two." I shot Lin a smile, thankful for breaking the silence.

"Since when does Lin 'mingle'?" Korra asked with a chuckle which I reciprocated.

"Not a clue, so what took you so long getting here?" I was wondering held up the young avatar.

"Well, my parents wanted to visit the city, so we had to get them settled into their guest rooms at the Air temple, and then-" Korra was cut off my the call of her name from a familiar sounding voice that caused a slight twitch. "Korra!"

"Hello, Mako." Korra looked just as dismayed as I felt, which I only feel I little ashamed to admit to.

AN2:Okay so that's finally done, I will try to have another chapter up as soon as possible and I promise they will have more of the Korrasami goodness that you came to see (I seriously don't know why this pairing doesn't get more love), please don't hesitate to review, I want to get better and need feedback for that.
