"I'm guessing you didn't have any luck finding her either."
Mako sighed as he plopped down on his bed. They spent all day looking for Korra but there was no sign of her. Not even Naga could track her down. "No, I couldn't find her either Bolin."
"Well I looked all over the Northern part of the city. Alleys, dumpsters, shops, restaurants. Everywhere!" Bolin said he slid down the wall next to Mako's bed. "I don't understand what's wrong. Why did she panic like that?"
"I have no idea. I wish she'd just tell us what was wrong. Why is she so stupid? Before she wasn't afraid to run that big mouth of hers and now she's being all secretive and withdrawn." Mako scowled. With a sudden rush of anger, he thew his pillow at the wall with a frustrated grunt.
"I've never seen you so upset before. Not since mom and dad died."
Mako remained silent, only turning over on his bed.
"Why don't we see if Tenzin or Asami found her? If not then maybe we could check in with the police and see if they might have spotted her."
"I already checked in with them. No sightings of her."
Mako stared at the blank wall. Did he do something wrong? Was she angry at him? At them? She had talked to him about her feelings before...He was a fool to ignore them. Flaunting Asami around her, kissing her and holding her. It probably drove Korra mad. Maybe she left because of them. Because of him.
"Come on bro. We're not going to find Korra wallowing around and trying to come up with a million reasons on why she left."

"Tenzin, this is ridiculous. I can't spread my men any further. We're thin enough as is dealing with the Equalists. We've received an overwhelming amount of reports of people being attacked by them. Benders and non-benders. I've had to almost triple my guard patrols just to cut down the attack numbers in half. Not to mention the men I'm sending to deal with a possible lead of one of the Equalist bases where Amon might be."
"Korra's been missing for weeks. She needs to be found. What if she's hurt?"
"I really wish I could help, but it's impossible to send out anymore men. We spent 2 weeks looking for her and we don't even have any evidence on where she could have gone."
"Please Lin, there's nothing else you can do? Nothing at all?"
Lin sighed as she leaned over her desk. The police station was busy. Phones were ringing every minute. Paper work was piled everywhere. Her officers were bustling around the station, talking, shuffling through papers. It wasn't exactly a quiet place. She knew when she got home tonight, if she was able to go home, she'd have a headache. She could see the worry spread on Tenzin's face. His eyes were dark. It looked like he hadn't slept in a few days. He looked exhausted but at least his clothes weren't disarrayed like she would expect from him in a stressful situation.
"I'll see if I can gather some new recruits and have them search for a couple more weeks, but that's the best I can do."
"Thank you, Lin. I'll get back to searching myself." Tenzin turned around to leave.
"Wait..Tenzin. There's something I must ask of you." Lin stood up and walked around her desk to the airbender. She spoke in a quieter, more soothing voice. Something he hadn't heard in a long time. "Korra was attacked, wasn't she?"
"Korra's always being attacked."
"No. I mean a more...intimate attack if you catch my meaning."
The silence was all she needed to confirm her suspicion. Tenzin couldn't even make eye contact with her. Guilt was welling up inside it even spread to his face.
"How long ago?"
"A month and a half."
"I'd ask you who but..I suppose that's something Korra should be free to do herself."
"I just...I just feel awful that I couldn't prevent it. Her parents trusted me to keep their little girl safe and I failed them."
"You know as well as I do you did the best you could. It wasn't your fault."
"That doesn't make the pain and guilt any less. My best wasn't good enough. Now she's run off because I couldn't help her through the pain. She's still suffering from it and I can't do anything about it."
"Tenzin...One thing you must realize is that it takes time to heal. Years in most cases I've seen. Don't blame yourself because of what some lowlife did. Korra wouldn't want you to feel guilty about it. That'd only add to the pain. It wasn't your fault and it wasn't her fault. What she needs most right now is someone to be there for her."
"She's knows I'm always there for her but you know as well as I that I'm not...exactly good at dealing with these things."
Lin took a few steps towards Tenzin and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Do your best. Give her your love and support. When the time comes, she won't feel so lonely anymore."
"I'm sorry, Lin. I should have been there."
"You did your best. I'm not mad at you. I'm just grateful you were around."

The cool air hugged around Bolin's face. It was a relief to be cooled after a hot day of running around the city. He was sure that wherever Korra went off to, it wasn't in Republic city. He couldn't think of why Korra would just leave everyone, especially Naga. He didn't think of Tarrlok as an ugly man. His face couldn't have been that scary or ugly. She'd seen his face before. Maybe it was something he did? Maybe something Mako did. 'Well it does make sense to blame it all on Mako. I bet she left because of how he's always flaunting Asami around. Or, maybe it was me. Maybe she lost her mind over me. I am quite handsome afterall. Maybe she realized what a mistake it was kissing my brother instead of me. Poor Korra. I would have gone on another date with her. All she had to do was ask.'
The streets were starting to become empty as the sun began to set. People were starting to be more careful about staying out past dusk because of the recent attacks. Shops were closing early, much to Bolin's dismay. He enjoyed having a bowl of noodles before heading home.
"Oh well, maybe I could ask Pema to make some. They don't taste the same but it'll be close enough. Hm? Is that Mako? Hey Mako!" Bolin yelled across the street as he spotted his brother walking in the same direction as him. Likely heading back to the Air Temple Island. Careful to look both ways, Bolin bolted across the street.
"Hey, Mako, you in there?"
Mako turned his head to Bolin, his hands in his pockets. Bolin suspected he had been in deep thought.
"So I was thinking, maybe we should take one of the air bisons and look for Korra elsewhere. I'm almost a hundred percent certain that she's no longer in Republic City. Maybe she went on some weird spiritual Avatar journey somewhere?"
"Bolin that's...Take one of the air bisons? Not a bad idea..."
"I'm sure Tenzin will be alright with it. He's just as eager to find Korra as we are. Maybe he can come along with us. And Asami."
"Maybe...Maybe it's not a good idea I tag along."
"What? Why?"
"I can't help but think...maybe Korra left because of me."
"I was thinking that too. " Bolin saw Mako drop his head low and sigh. "No, what I mean is, I'm sure we all think we're the reason she left. I even thought maybe she left because of me. Maybe she felt guilty about the whole breaking-my-heart situation and it drove her mad. I tend to have that affect on women."
Mako couldn't help but laugh at Bolin. "Heh, sure you do."
"You know it's true. The ladies line up for a date with Bolin." Bolin took a second to start posing to show off his muscles, though quickly realized Mako was still walking.
"You can't take anything seriously, can you Bolin?" Mako said as he smiled and shook his head.
"What are you talking about? I was serious."

"Pema, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, what is it?"
"Well, hypothetically speaking...Let's see you and this boy you liked were on this..team and there was this other girl. This boy and girl were together and they didn't exactly keep their relationship a secret but..you have feelings for this boy and you confess but he doesn't return the feelings. Would that make you want to leave the team?"
"This is about Korra isn't it? You're feeling guilty about her running away?"
"She's just been so distant and then she suddenly has a panic attack..What if I forced her to run off because of well..me and Mako?
"I don't think any of you guys had anything to do with Korra leaving."
Pema handed a clean and wet dish to Asami who then dried them off and stacked it in a pile with the other dishes.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Call it a hunch. Korra's not the type to have a panic attack and run off because some boy she liked kissed another girl."
"Still, I can't help but feel guilty. There's just something about this whole situation that doesn't sit right with me. Like I did something wrong. I wish I knew what it was."
"The best thing you can do is be her friend. Whatever she's going through, she needs to know she has a friend to help her."
"Tenzin, Tenzin are you home?" Pema heard Bolin's voice from outside the kitchen.
"Tenzin's not back yet." She yelled into the eating area. A few seconds later, Bolin and Mako walked into the kitchen.
"Where is Tenzin? We have something important to ask him."
"He went to talk to Lin. I'm sure he'll be back soon. What's this important thing you need to ask him?"
"We need a flying bison." Mako said casually.
"A bison...for what?"
"Korra's obviously left the city. We need to expand our search." Bolin said.
"So where exactly were you planning on searching first?" Pema rubbed her swollen belly.
"Well first we'll try the Northern Water Tribe. If she's not there, then the Southern tribe. She spoke of having family there once."
"She did?" Mako asked.
"Yes, she did. Next I figure we search the other Air Temples. I figure maybe she got frustrated with her airbending and needed some inspiration to help her. If that doesn't work, then the Earth Kingdom starting at Ba Sing Se."
"You really thought this out Bolin." Asami said with a surprised look.
"Well we can't leave Korra out there. She needs us. Something's wrong and we have to be there to fix it. We're her friends."
"Well I'm in." Asami said.
"And you know I'm in." Mako said.
"Another adventure for Team Avatar. Well, minus the Avatar, so I guess you could say we're hunting for the Avatar just like Firelord Zuko did. Only this time we're saving the Avatar and not capturing her." Bolin said. Asami and Mako smiled.
