The Greatest (TLOK)

28) Kuvira

So so beautiful.

We land and Bolin and I run to the exit.

"We're finally here!"I say as the door opens and the fresh air and smell of metal hits me.

We all walk down the steps and are greeted by guard and man named Aiwei.

"Is this everyone?"he asks.

"Yep, just us.So can I meet the new airbender?"Korra lies.

"Of course.Right this way."Aiwei gestures and we follow him into a tunnel.

A platform takes us down and onto a train wagon.

We start driving through the city and I stare at everything in wonder.

Of everything I have seen, this beats almost all of it.

Aiwei explains some of the city's history but nothing I didn't already know.

Bolin asks if we're going to see Toph but Aiwei shuts it down when he tells us that she hasn't been seen here in years.

We drive for a bit more till we reach the end of the line.

We arrive at a big mansion and I speak up.

"Wow, is this where the airbender lives?"I ask, amazed by the infrastructure.

"Yes, but first, her mother wants to meet you."he says and leads us into a hall where people look to be practicing some type of performance.

The women who's directing them stops the training and walks over to us.

I recognise her even before Aiwei introduces her,
Su-Lin Beifong.

"Please, call me Su.Great to finally meet you avatar Korra.And this must be Sophie, Mako, Bolin, and Asami."Su says.

"You've done your research."Mako reply's.

"I make it my business to know who's visiting my city."Su smiles.

"So you're a dancer?"Korra asks.

"Dancer, leader, wife, mother, collector of rare meteorites.You'll find people here have many skills and interests."Su says but stops when Aiwei whispers something into her ear.

"Korra, why did you lie when Aiwei asked if there was anyone else with you?"Su asks and I turn to Korra with wide eyes.

"What? I-I didn't.I mean...How did you know I was lying?"Korra asks sheepishly.

"I am a truth seer.When people lie, their heart rate and breathing increases.I can sense the most subtle of changes."Aiwei explains.

"Thanks to Aiwei, there are no secrets in our city."Su adds.

"We came with republic city's chief of police.She didn't want anyone to know she was here.I'm sorry I didn't tell you."Korra apologises.

Chief is going to be so mad.

"Lin's here? Well, I would love to say hello."Su asks.

"Wait, you two know each other?"Korra asks.

"You're joking, right? Oh, Lin never told you about me."

"No. Why would she?"

"I'm Lin's sister."Su states causing the rest to look at her in shock.

We all make our way back to the ship and once we find chief, Korra straight up confronts her.

They all talk till Chief turns her back to us again.

"I have nothing to say to you."she says.

The rest of us exit the room to leave Lin, Su and Korra alone.
