Comments

Aang;

[alphatar]

Ever since Aang arrived, Korra's apprehensiveness towards Kyle went away and instead centered itself on the youngest Avatar. The little Monk had no idea how much of an impact his past and future actions would have on their world, let alone on Korra's life. After all, it was Aang who instructed the Order of the White Lotus to keep the next Avatar locked away from the world until they mastered the four elements.

However, time had passed and Korra needed to check his wound to make sure that the unique water from the palace was just as effective as the spiritual water back home. Bringing her med kit, which mostly comprised of bottles of water and bandages, Korra knocked briefly before entering.

"Hey, I need to check up on your back."

Re: Aang;

[12goingon113]

Korra lucks out, not only is Aang actually in his room, but he's in his room alone. A rare occurrence since he'd gained a small part of his mobility back. He's sitting on his bed with his legs in a lazy half-lotus position, and in his hands is a length of string that he's weaving into what appears to be a necklace.

He looks up at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Oh, hi Korra. Yeah, okay, sure."

Mako;

[alphatar]

After sending Mako a quick text to meet at the park in the Metal Sector, yes that park, Korra waited for her boyfriend to show up. She made a point to tell him to wear some sports gear. She was wearing her workout clothes which were her blue sports top, workout shorts, baseball cap, and tennis shoes. There were two water bottles off to the sidelines of the basketball court.

After playing her first game of basketball, Korra latched on to the sport and was practicing her shots. It’s wasn’t pro-bending, but it was a sport and she wanted to introduce her boyfriend to it. That and she had the feeling it would be cathartic to do so in the place where they fought.

When she saw him approach the court, she stopped and just casually dribbled the ball. "Ready to shoot some hoops?" there was a wry smile on her face. Korra was quite sure Mako had no idea what any of it meant, and really Korra was just showing off since she only played it once before.

[browbeater]

"... What are you talking about?" He asked, confusion apparent. There weren't a lot of things that had crossed his mind after she'd told him to come dressed in sports gear-- he'd figured she wanted to train, or something. Weird request, but he came as prepared as he figured.

He was without his scarf, but he'd settled for a simple t-shirt, and Keeliai's version of sports pants, which were really just sweat pants.

And then there was the jargon he'd never heard before. "Shoot some hoops?" he repeated, still just as confused as before.

Vanessa;

[alphatar]

Keeping the bar constantly restocked was easy for Korra thanks to her bending and she had a lot of down time to talk to the bartenders and some of the other employees, but not all of them. The entertainment portion of Bryn’s venue was open to everyone, and while they did get paid (which technically made them employees), they weren’t always there when Korra was.

Thankfully tonight had a scheduled performers and Korra was making sure to stock the bar a little extra so she could watch uninterrupted. With her drink and order of appetizers, Korra sat a table right by the bar and placed her chin in her hand as the other patrons began to quiet down.

[fatedchaos]

Vanessa was always nervous right before a performance. No matter how many times she had done it, it still sent a tremble through her. Being on stage, though, and staring out at the small audience in Bryn's bar, it did something to calm her.

This was her element. This was where she belonged. There was no tremor of fear in her voice as she began to sing, eyes closing briefly as she let the song flow through her. Her voice was soft, soulful, a thrum of pure emotion.

After three songs, she grinned and gave her thanks to an applauding audience before hopping off the stage to grab a glass of water. Spotting Korra, she sidled up next to her table. "Hey!"

Bianca;

[alphatar]

Same time every day is when Korra arrived at the clinic. Except today.

Normally, she was sleeping in to noon before doing anything at all. This morning though, Korra was wide awake and easily went through her daily workout routine and fishing. Since she didn’t have to care for her turtle egg just yet, Korra went in to the clinic instead of waiting to go at the usual time.

Seeing it so early in the day was odd. There was much more activity from the kids and different faces of the staff. One of them was actually recognizable, though it was from somewhere else. Making her way over to the dark haired woman, Korra waited until she wasn’t busy before speaking.

"Bianca. I never got to thank you for the extra tamales." Korra had taken a few home and they turned out to be a great peace offering to Zatanna. "Is your son sick?" that was the only conclusion Korra came to when trying to figure out why she was here.

Dinah;

[alphatar]

Chi-blocking defense lessons were going very well, to the point where more often than not Korra wouldn’t end up waiting for her bending to return. This paired with her regular training regimen with Dinah was exactly what Korra looked forward to every other day. After almost every session, she would clamber on to Naga and simply pass out when she got home.

Having Dinah as a teacher pushed Korra a lot farther than any of her previous instructors, which may have something to do with the sole focus being martial arts rather bending, and the fact that Dinah was one of the best physical combatants Korra’s ever seen.

Today was shaping up to be another relentless practice session. Throwing her all into learning how to build a solid defense against chi-blocking had become an objective for Korra, and she wasn’t one to let go once latched on to an idea.

When it came time for a break, Korra wiped herself off with a towel and waterbended off any excess sweat thereafter. Plopping herself down on one of the benches in the dojo, she started drinking from her water bottle.

"Feel up to training late?" As natural of an athlete as Korra was, mastery of a counter martial art would take longer than two months and she wanted to get it down as soon as possible.

[raptorcanaria]

Dinah folded down on the bench next to Korra, not caring in the slightest about showing that she was just as tired as the Avatar: Korra worked hard, and she worked Dinah hard, and these sessions were doing just as well keeping Dinah in shape as Korra.

After taking a few gulps of her own water, she leaned forward, resting sweaty elbows on sweaty knees, and glanced sideways at her student.

"What, I'm not working you hard enough in the time we've got?"

Dick Grayson (comics);

[alphatar]

Carrying both crates on her shoulders, Korra set them down and began restocking the bottles behind the bar. Who was bartending usually changed to fit certain schedules, and Korra had met most of them already since she was the only barback.

However, when she finished restocking and lifted the empty crates, she was surprised to see who the bartender was that day.

"Dick?" His name was said with a surprised laugh. "Don’t tell me you work here too?" It wasn’t disappointment at all, just marveling at the coincidences she had in meeting him.

"When are you going to stop dropping in on me like this?" Said jokingly because last time, it was her who literally flew down to find him in the Metal Sector.

[bludhavenknight]

Sharing time with other bartenders was to be expected. Bryn had hired a bunch, but at least she had hired some good ones. Dick liked to think he was a good one, but hey, it'd been awhile since he'd bartended, before coming here. And his experience was more along the lines of beer, whiskey sours, and old fashions.

Ah, a cop bar. That was fun, but he liked working here. He got to show off a little more (it was the circus kid in him), and there was always a surprise.

Like Korra working here. "Well, look who's here!" Dick laughed. "Hey, I'm not dropping in on you, you're popping up everywhere I go." He came over to the bar and hopped over it.

"How did I miss you working here? Man, Bryn really hired some good people."

Jack Harkness;

[alphatar]

There wasn’t much down time considering Korra’s schedule, so when the opportunity presented itself she seized it. Window shopping in the Metal Sector wasn’t something Korra did often, and while most girls were inclined to look at clothes or jewelry, the Avatar was quite content with looking at the advanced technology that was on display.

Well, advanced technology in her home world anyway. Radio was the main form of communication and cars were still very much a new thing, which was similar to the 1920’s from the Earth many foreigners were from. Or at least, that’s what Korra had been told. Especially since moving pictures were nothing more than a rumor at best. Along the windows of handhelds and music players, there were also the cars and motorcycles that caught her eye.

Distracted enough to the point where she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ah!" Maintaining her balance, Korra reach forward to make sure whoever it was didn’t fall over either. "Sorry, I wasn’t looking. Well, actually I was looking. Just not at you."

Hiccup;

[alphatar]

Taking trips into the Wood Sector were becoming more frequent, even more so now that Korra had set up a healing schedule with Hiccup to continue healing his leg. However, this was looking to be the last one he needed and she made sure to bring some of the fresh fish from today’s catch.

"Here you go, these should last you for a few days. Already cleaned and skinned." Setting the sack of fish down on the table to be put in the freezer later, Korra wasted no time in starting the healing process. Anytime she could heal one of her patients up to full was always a boost to her and it showed in her smile.

"Not only are you not a girl anymore, but you can start running to your heart’s content. You know, if running’s your thing."

[dragonconqueror]

Hiccup didn't know what he would've done with his leg if he'd been home. He's still pretty sure he would have had to have it amputated, but that's not something that crossed his mind often. Having it healed was nice, especially considering it didn't involve one of the elder's more...crazy methods of healing.

"Hey, thanks." He really needed to go fishing himself once he was healed up. Jack had promised him a tour of the turtle once his leg was better. Hiccup watched her start the healing process, leaning back in his seat. He'd never not be fascinated with the idea that there were people with powers like this, and he flushes when she mentions his little escapade as a girl. He shrugged. "Eh, only if I'm running from a dragon. I usually just like to take my time."

He gave her a smile. "Thanks for doing this. Healing me I mean."

Invincible;

[alphatar]

Soaring over the Earth Sector was one way for Korra to spend her lunch time at the clinic. Technically, since she was volunteering, Korra could really take as much in the air with her glider as she wanted, but she was starting to take her work there seriously.

One thing that she wasn’t quite used to was seeing other people flying through the air. She angled her glider to get over to the person in yellow and blue, a bit of assistance from airbending and she was there in no time.

"Superhero?" she asked casually as the wind tossed her hair around. If there was one thing Korra didn’t understand about supers, it was their inclination to wear tight clothing. That and the whole secret identity thing.

[shorttempered]

Today was Mark's day off, and he was determined to spend it making a difference. He had felt as if he had let his responsibilities as a superhero fall to the wayside while he dealt with his personal issues. And while it was important he deal with them, it was important he patrol as well... get back into the swing of things.

And getting back into the swing of things was exactly what Mark was doing when he flew past someone flying around in a glider, someone that looked like--holy shit it was Korra. Mark--Invincible--quickly ducked his head and made sure his goggles were securely over his face and ruffled his hair to make it appear messier. Then, forcing on his best smile, he turned to face her.

"Was it my charming smile or my crazy bright costume that gave it away?" His voice was deeper, a tinge more gravelly. He wasn't trying to go full on Christian Bale on her, but it was definitely a step in that direction... and it made his throat hurt.

Victoria;

[alphatar]

Moving the turtle egg from one to another was easy for Temeraire and Korra. When it came to Victoria though, both the Avatar and the dragon alternated in taking it to and from her

This was Korra’s turn and earthbending the giant egg while riding Naga was fairly simple. Once she arrived in the Water Sector, Korra got down to the second story units and took out the extra blankets she had made from the trouble they had with tribbles.

She knocked on the door and waited. A seventeen year old girl, a tamed polar bear dog, and a giant turtle egg that would one day be big enough to have other beings live on its back.

Typical day on Tu Vishan.

[victoria_stay]

Very much so. Victoria was getting used to the routine and was even waiting near the door. She liked Korra and Temeraire and even Naga, giant animal that she was. So at the knock, the girl had the door open a moment later.

She might even be smiling just a tiny bit.

"Hi, Korra. Hello, Naga," she said politely. "It's my day for the egg?"

She knew it was. She just wanted to try talking to people.

Julie;

[alphatar]

Now with Naga’s help, Korra was able to get her catch over to new shop in the Water Sector a lot faster than usual. Sure she could earthbend it there without any problem, but the Avatar took a certain pride in dragging the huge baskets (bins really) from Metal to Water.

Business had really picked up ever since she started going out further and bringing in more than just fish: octopus, shark, squid, and even a whale while she had super strength, flight, and speed. All save for the whale have been what she had started to catch in order to help make up for losing Traci as an employee.


The storefront came into view which made Korra put her back into it and she being hauling them in with a solid grunt, each one bringing it closer until she was holding the door open with small raised section of stone.

"Jack, daily delivery!" she called out, her back turned to the interior as she tugged them inside, the sound of water sloshing around finally stopped and Korra leaned against one of them. A tired smile managed to make its way through her sweat and she looked over at the register.

Except that wasn’t Jack. It took her a moment to remember what he had told her about hiring a new girl.

"Julie, right?" she said awkwardly, unsure if she had the name right.

Julie;

[grigio]

Julie'd found a weathered plank and had sat with it in her suite for a few days before deciding what to do with it. It needed to be painted and the painting needed to go in the shop. She;d brought it and a few colored pencils with her, just to sketch out a rough outline, and now sat at the counter. She was carefully sketching an underwater scene of squid and smaller fish, erasing a line here and adding an extra wave there, when she heard Korra come in.

She grinned at the other girl, impressed with the haul. Standing and making her way over with her hand out, she nodded.

"Yeah, that's me. You're...Korra, right?" Did she get that right?

Bruce Banner;

[alphatar]

After her initial interruption introduction of Bruce’s approach to maintain a temperament, Korra has had varied results and most of them were successes.

Which was a lot better than her previous count of zero.

Finding Bruce hadn’t worn off its charm, in fact Korra rather enjoyed checking the locations she found him at, which sometimes worked, but more so when she had to think of new places to look that would be away from others.

At least, before Naga.

Pet polar bear dog that could track down a certain block of ice in the South Pole was handier than most would think. A fun romp through Keeliai and occasionally through (and over) traffic brought Korra to the Earth Sector. Rather, the outskirts of the Earth Sector.

Once dismounted, Korra unpacked the thermos, jerky, and water bottles she had brought with her. Sometimes She’s end up riding Naga for an hour or two while locating Bruce, but today it didn’t take nearly that long.

"What’s so special about being out here?" she asked looking over the dusty landscape, her eyes lingering on the ridges of jutted rock and small caves not too far off in the distance.

[angermanaging]

Bruce would say that he doesn't make himself intentionally hard to find, except that he does. It's just that he tries to make it hard for anyone to find him, and Korra gets lumped in there automatically. He needs his time to himself to keep on an even keel, and he needs more and more of it as he's starting to take more risks with his control.

He doesn't mind being found, however. He's sitting cross legged on the bare dirt, unperturbed, though he glances over at Naga and can't help a hint of a smile. He's fond of animals in general, even if this one is an overly large polar bear dog.

"Something different," he answers with a shrug of one shoulder. "And there's no one around. That's about the only two criteria." He slides right into what he considers business, asking matter of factly, "How have you been doing? Sorry it's been a while since we've checked in."

Bryn;

[alphatar]

Showing up early for work wasn’t too unusual for the Avatar. Korra tossed her jacket on the rack in the employee breakroom and took one of the tables after placing an order for her dinner. After fishing and helping at the clinic, Korra was more than ready to just sit down and eat.

As she waited and listened to the music, Korra caught sight of Bryn and flagged her down. Aside from when she was hired and at the grand opening, she had never had the chance to actually get to know her employer. Something Korra had grown accustomed to in working for both Jack and Finnick.

Perhaps a little more so with Jack, but details.

"Have a seat, boss. You’re just in time to eat."

Bones;

[alphatar]

Soranik’s returning home was incredibly noticeable in the clinic, more so with Kyle than anyone else. Or at least, as far as Korra could tell. Deciding to pick up the slack, the Avatar began to volunteer more of her time to help out.

One of the things that immediately caught her eye was a blue shirt. A Starfleet uniform, not unlike the one she wore in Jim’s dream, and the person wearing it. Of the Enterprise’s crew, Korra had only met Captain Kirk and Ensign Chekov. She waited until he had to stop at his desk before she peeked over his shoulder.

"Starfleet, huh?" her tone was curious and she managed keep most of her excitement in check. Thanks to the way Jim fondly spoke of the organization, the ship, and the crew; Korra was very taken with the whole concept.

[asouthron]

"Jesus!" Well there goes half of McCoy's coffee. The cup in his hand sloshes over the lip and splatters across his desk, still steaming. It only aggravates his swearing further as he tried to dab what he can of the scalding liquid off his hand. With a long suffering sigh, he turns around to give the sneak a withering look.

"Just who in their right mind sneaks up on someone like that?"

Donatello;

[alphatar]

Turtle hideouts were the best thing to have in the Water Sector, even though they were just their suites, and Korra knew all of them. Or at least she used to know all of them. Raph and Mikey had been gone for a while now, so now it was just Mike, and both Leonardo’s (The “Bookends” according to Mike).

Now, when Korra traveled on the rooftops in the Water Sector, she usually ended staying at one of their places until the morning. Because of this she hasn’t had any run-ins with the Batman (or at least she’s comforting herself that it was because of this) and tonight wasn’t any different.

After training her waterbending in the sector, the best place to do so, Korra found the evening rapidly turning into night. As she running from rooftop to rooftop in the direction of a turtle safe house, she actually caught a glimpse of a shell.

One of the Leonardo’s or Mike.

As usual, they stuck to the shadows as ninjas do and Korra earthbended some of the ledges to make the jump between buildings. For now, she used her bending to keep pace with the turtles. Her training with Dinah meant a deep focus on various martial arts, but ninjutsu wasn’t one of them

"Wait up!" she called out after them.

Leonardo (2k3)

[alphatar]

There was one location just outside of the populated area of the Water Sector that Korra had frequented to keep her waterbending skills sharp. Leo was the first one to show it to her, leading her to large open area and also sparred with her. It also happened to be the location where she and Amon fought each other, beating each other within an inch of each other’s life.

That night she had spent at Mike’s while he treated her wounds since her chi paths were blocked off, preventing her healing.

This was also the place where she had found that some of the most important aspects of the airbending training she had practiced with Tenzin finally clicked. Even after all those events, Korra still frequented it.

When she arrived on her own, riding along the canals of the Water Sector as if she was water skiing behind a boat, Korra landed onto the ground and bended the water off her boots so they were dry. Thought it didn’t take her long to notice she wasn’t alone.

Katanas on a shell. A familiar sight that brought a smile.

"Hey Leo, didn’t think I’d see you today. What’s up?" As soon as the words were out of her mouth she started to notice the very subtle difference of the shell as well as the blades that were on it.

Oops. She wasn’t that familiar with the elder Leonardo, they had only met briefly once before.

[duelkatana]

Leonardo has, of course, heard of this place from his inter-dimensional twin. Having lived in this world for almost a year, he's even visited it a handful of times when seeking the unique tranquility of an open and empty area. But it's not a place he frequents by any definition of the word; he has his own favorite spots around the Water Sector, and as far as things go, he's always felt that this one belonged to his cousin more than it did to him.

Today, he's here to run through a set of kata undisturbed. A simple change of the accompanying scenery is all that drew him here, and in all honesty, he hadn't really expected to run into anyone at all. So when Korra's boots hit the ground, he instantly breaks form to turn to the newcomer, caught somewhere between surprise and the hair-trigger "fight" response. When he sees who it is, however, he relaxes - mostly. Despite the closeness between her and his counterpart, and even despite the fact that Leonardo has been tutoring Toph in blind martial arts, Leonardo has rarely crossed paths with Korra herself. It's not that he doesn't like her; quite the opposite. He's just...

...it's a bit awkward, really.

Leo smiles sheepishly, and gives a friendly, if polite, bow. "Probably not the Leonardo you had in mind... but it's good to see you again, Korra. It's been a while."

Jason Todd;

[alphatar]

Of all the sectors Korra was most uncomfortable in, Fire was definitely at the top of the list. Ironic considering it was the element of her personality, though not her innate bending ability. All because of how much upper class there was among the kedan that lived there, and upper class meant wealth.

Which attracted crime.

Not only were there numerous gangs already casually fighting over turf, full out gang violence had broken out thanks to the thieving being done (Unbeknownst to all, it was being done by Balthier and Fran) and Korra was just sick of hearing about it over the radio. Not to mention seeing it spill over onto innocent kedan; wealthy or not.

After catching wind of a two gangs preparing to have a bloody war near the residential area in the Fire Sector, Korra made her way there and was sticking to hiding in the shadows. Waiting to see if this fight would actually happen or not, she was pretty sure it was going to be any minute considering the escalation between the head members of both gangs. Readying herself to jump in with some earthbending, Korra was preparing herself to break some bones if that’s what it took to stop them.

Any second now… she thought to herself as she looked to see when the first blow was thrown.

[redjay]

Oh boy, gang wars.

Normally, he'd be content in just watching out of a hole - being a fly on the wall. But in this matter, with these gangs in particular, he has investments. This is his sector, after all. He has a lot of shipment riding on who has the upper hand here. He needs to know where the weak points are. And he doesn't have the time or the resources to go poke around more. Not with other things happening.

Knowing when the swing the tide is important too. So he's waiting, watching from the roof top. He has four explosives he'd like to refrain from using clipped to his belt, and two smoke bombs. Useful, but probably more useful is an Avatar lurking in the shadows.

"Hey there," he spoke loud enough to catch her attention but not enough to draw more. Once she looked up, he gave a lazy wave from roof-side. "View's better up here, trust me."

Merida;

[alphatar]

The last time Korra saw Merida was when they were both introduced to motion pictures. Actual moving pictures. Thanks to a strong will, Korra managed not to ruin it by starting a fight with their hostess.

That blazing red hair was easy enough to spot from just about any angle. Going through the Fire Sector was pretty easy, especially when one could just ride on top of a giant polar bear dog. Guiding Naga around the kedan, some who got gently nudged onto their butts after ignoring the Avatar’s request for them to move.

"Hey Merida. How the turtle life treating you so far?" Yes, she’s leaning entirely on Naga’s neck while the polar bear dog is trying to lean in to get a sniff of that fiery red hair.

/FINALLY. THANK YOU FOR WAITING FOR ME

[myownhand]

Maybe Merida was just unimaginative, but the last thing she ever thought would happen here was a gigantic dog--bear-- thing sniffing her hair. So don't mind her as she jumps back in surprise a bit, yelping out rather un-princess like. Well, Until she sees Korra of course.

"Korra!" She's... still starring at Naga, because after the whole... bear debacle, she's understandably a bit wary of anything bear shaped. "Fine, fine. Just fine."

No, but seriously.

"What... is that?" Meaning Naga. She'd be polite, but she's forgotten her manners for the moment.

Jim Kirk;

[alphatar]

Why Jim wanted her to wait outside of his suite, Korra had no idea. But she was there, giant polar bear dog next to her, wagging it’s tail because she’s about to see her spaghetti-frand again.

The Fire Sector always had her feel out of place. Like her first day in Republic City when she really did feel like a bumpkin from the South Pole. It was too rich, too upper class for her. Well, the kedan were anyway.

In fact, this had been the first time Korra ever saw the three story suite that Jim was living in. Their buildings were so much different from Metal, a lot like back home and yet it felt alien.

However, this was Jim’s suite, so that made it better than the rest.

When she hunched down to pet Naga’s muzzle, Korra noticed the car that wasn’t parked too far away from the suite. Unlike the other kedan cars that were older in style, much like the sato-mobiles back home, this one was-

sleek.

Ever since accompanying Asami in her race car, Korra had become interested in cars from an aesthetic standpoint. And that one really stood out amongst the others in the area, even the ones she had seen on sale for a ridiculously high amount of juulan.

How long she spent staring at it, she had no idea.

Gaius Septimus;

[alphatar]

How there could be a hot day during Autumn was beyond Korra. She was pretty sick of the Summer weather and the fact that it was spilling over into the next season was practically an insult.

But thankfully there was the Water Sector.

Going through the canals was an ideal way to cool off. Sliding along the surface of the water effortlessly, Korra displayed her mastery over her Waterbending by easily weaving around the boats and making them seem like an awkward method to navigate with by comparison.

Once in a while she moved towards the edge to splash her wake onto the sidewalk where kids where playing with water toys, bending the temperature of the water down a few degrees without even trying.

When she found a good point to go onto the sidewalk, Korra descended under water briefly and then a pillar of whirling water rose up, splashing the vicinity. A few moments later she arose through the center of it and even bended it an angle to lower her onto the sidewalk. Pulling her hair to get some of the water out, she turned around and looked up at one of the three story suites nearby. It wasn’t too far from Mike’s and, if she remembered correctly, this was the unit Nita stayed in.

After a moment she started to get the feeling that someone was watching her and she began too look around for the source of the feeling.

[survival_isnt_living]

It's been a while since Septimus first officially met Korra. Of course, her presence on the network was notable, and either way he certainly remembered the... ah, incident regarding the clinic. It all added up to an interesting picture; for all that there are all sorts of odd sorcery in this place, and one or two who seemed to do something like watercrafting--bending, they called it--it looked rather as if Korra worked in more than one type. Septimus hasn't seen any of that since he'd come here.

And as much as he can find people to spar with, as much as his healing is in better form than it had been at home, as much as he's worked with as many of his skills as possible... great furies, it would be good for him to have someone who might be able to give him more of a workout.

And if she did, well, he's under the impression she might need some lessons in control. He might be the most qualified to give her that.

However, when he came across her while walking in Water Sector, that particular form of traveling on water was definitely not one he'd seen before. With barely a thought and flick of effort, he put up a windcrafting veil and kicked into the air, and trailed along after trying to puzzle out just what she's doing. Handily, it was along the path home. When she finally landed, however, that splash made him roll his eyes. (Then again, if he were totally honest, he could be that lazy when he was her age.)

He silently landed near a fence not far away, slightly off to the side, and dropped the veil. He'd totally been there the whole time, right?

With a gesture half beckoning, half closing his fist, the water left on the ground gathered itself into a sphere. Another faint flick, and it poured itself gracefully back into the river. "Need a hand drying off?"

The answer is probably no. But he's entertained.

Kyle Rayner;

[alphatar]

It was strange finding that Kyle wasn’t all Korra thought him out to be, and even finding a common ground in the way of not only carrying a legacy; but having their predecessors suddenly shoved into their life on Tu Vishan.

But it was a good kind of strange.

However, they had another common ground aside from that. They both belonged to Jim Kirk in a sense. For Korra, she could only assume it was what having a brother would be like.

While Korra didn’t get any in depth details from Jim, she did respect his want for privacy in regards to his relationship with Kyle and only liked to casually tease either of them if the mood was light enough.

Those were thoughts that Korra had at the back of her mind constantly, especially now that Aang was staying at the clinic (hospital?). As she was going about and finishing up her healing sessions for the evening, Korra turned off the lights in the rooms that were no longer being used.

It wasn’t often she had time to stay late, but she could handle most of the first floor. So far she hadn’t been allowed to go up to the second or third floors of the clinic. Now that Aang was able to move about a little more freely on his own, she didn’t have to look after him as often.

Finding herself in the break room, Korra grabbed one of the snack bags made for the volunteers and eyed the Sigma berry she pulled out before shrugging and popping into her mouth.

"Not bad." She said to no one in particular, or at least she thought she did. She had been so tired from being there for half the day that she didn’t even notice Kyle was in there as well until a moment later.

"You pretty much live here, don’t you?"

[imaginate]

Kyle's sitting on the couch as she walks in, tapping the pen on his cheek, sketchbook open on his lap, the page still blank. His lip curves upwards in a small smile as she speaks. 'Ever heard the phrase "married to the job"?'

He wasn't used to teasing her - even now he's still wary, but becoming less so as time goes on. It's more for Jim's sake than any personal reason Kyle may have. He knows she needs to get better and he's willing to do what he sees necessary, but Jim and Dinah are already managing that just fine. He sees no reason to interfere, and thus, he remains on the periphery.

Lin Beifong;

[alphatar]

Too much was going on right now for Korra to focus on one thing, she was spreading herself thin and she knew it. Though she wasn’t that fussed over it, after all it was the job of the Avatar to go everywhere and anywhere she might be needed. It was her service to fulfill and it applied even to the more personal things.

Such as previous Avatars suddenly appearing on the turtle and alerting others from her world who would understand what that means.

Finding Lin’s suite in the Earth Sector wasn’t too difficult, not when your ride also happened to be an incredible tracker. Once the polar bear dog narrowed down the trail to one of the units, Korra knocked on the door and tried figure out how best to tell Lin about Aang being at her clinic.

Volunteering her time there meant that it was officially under the Avatar’s care, thus making it hers.

[lineality]

Mountains of paperwork or no, it seemed like things were picking up in the force at last. Well. Not a force, exactly, as much as a ragtag band of washed-up cops clinging stubbornly to habit and a few shared experiences, but she'd built teams in Republic City on less.

The gangs were restless these days. As if they were waiting for something, though she didn't know what. That meant fewer hours in the office and more spent out on the street, and tired as she was at the end of the day, she was grateful for it.

Grateful enough, at least, to react with little more than an eyeroll when the knock came just as she'd set aside the bulk of her armor. After a moment's thought, she put it back on again. She hadn't spoken to many people during her stay here, coworkers aside; it was either them or someone from home, but she couldn't be too careful.

She couldn't help raising an eyebrow in mild surprise when she opened the door, though. Korra hadn't contacted her directly in a while. "Avatar," she said, her tone of voice brisk but not unfriendly. "What brings you here?"

Tony Stark (616);

[alphatar]

After contacting Tony to check up on the special commission project she asked him about, Korra was surprised to hear that it was done. To her it sounded like it would have been a massive undertaking considering how realistic and functional she wanted it to be. Even so far as to have mock offensive capabilities. Agreeing to having Tony come over, Korra got out some of the juulan from her savings.

The sixty they agreed on when she gave him the specifications and the tech she had back then. Back then it seemed like a fair price, but now Korra was wondering if that would be enough for such a custom order.

Deciding to meet him outside, she left her door open so Naga could lie down in the doorway and she sat next to the polar bear dog, looking around occasionally for him.

Toph;

[alphatar]

Since Toph was staying at the clinic along with Aang to help him adjust to life on the turtle, Korra was able to see her on a daily basis. Volunteering at the clinic had become a lot less stressful than her first day and the Avatar found that having her friend there was even more of a boon.

Now that Toph was set up with her own room, Korra occasionally stopped by when she was on one of her breaks or when there wasn’t any work to be done. This was one of those times.

Holding two lunch bags made for the volunteers, which of course contained a well balanced lunch, Korra handed one over to Toph and sipped from her juice box.

"Getting used to the clinic life?" She asked casually as she set her bag onto the table and sat down on one of the chairs.

Hal Jordan (comics);

[alphatar]

With Soranik gone, the only Green Lantern Korra knew was Kyle. He said there were two others, but didn’t go into specifics; all she could figure out on her own was that one of them was Hal Jordan, (Actually they both were, but she hadn’t discovered that part yet.) and one of them was the one whose ring got passed along to Kyle.

The burden of legacy the bonded over.

While she was using her glider along in the sky, she saw a green light and instantly assumed it was Kyle. Now that they had managed to actually get over the tension between their opposing natures, Korra was curious to see the actual Green Lantern in action outside of the clinic.

As she approached the flying Lantern, however, it became quite clear this was one of the other two and Korra instantly assumed this was Kyle’s predecessor.

"So, you’re the Lantern, huh?" she asked somewhat flatly. "You don’t look that impressive." All said as her glider was kept aloft by seemingly independent gusts of wind.

Kyle may find out that having Korra as a friend may not be the best social move, her tact could sometimes come across as incredibly underwhelming. Especially when it was easy for her to project herself in the situation given that her predecessor was now on the turtle as well.

[animosus]

Flying was always going to be part of him. Whether it was sitting in the cockpit of a jet or flying by his own willpower, Hal was never content to keep his feet on the ground. Planes weren't an option here so that left just one route open to him. Korra's approach draws a raised eyebrow from him and her words only makes him raise them further.

The thing about being possessed then dead then slotting right back into your old life almost as if nothing happened was that Hal missed a lot. He'd done a lot of things and his memory of that time was hazy at best. He'd come back and discovered Kyle was the one who picked up the mantle when he had destroyed everything. He'd never seen anyone question Kyle's place or draw comparisons between them. To Hal, Kyle was simply a person he was proud to call a fellow Green Lantern. He wasn't even aware that he had this legacy to loom over others. As far as he was concerned, he originally died in disgrace.

"I'm a Lantern." He's trying to be somewhat diplomatic until he figures out what this is about. "And how you look isn't as important as how you wield the ring."

It doesn't pass his attention that the wind is doing more than it should be here. But he's seen enough supers that he doesn't comment on it for now.
