So... meanwhile, back at the ranch, there were opportunities for those who have caught their journals to know who's coming, and those who have not caught their journals to be taken by surprise at the new Water Tribe member in the house.

[Ah, so she'd tried and failed, huh? But Aang showed her how to fix it. Energy bending. It must be. She still needed to examine someone who actually had their bending removed, and it was good that Korra and Aang had finally connected and Aang himself was here if necessary, if he could access that part of his power, but...]

Tell me something.

[She says this without glancing back.]

In the future, did I try to heal it at night?

[And he's already more experienced at being in the Spirit World than her!]

Yeah. That's just... one of those Avatar things. Spirit world. Talking to your past selves. [An awkward pause and then he notices her soda. Oh right.] You have to pull the little metal tab on top to open it.

It's not far.

[Katara opens the door and out they go! She glances back inside her very crowded house and shuts the door quickly behind them before one of the grandkids can see.

She gives Korra a small, conspiratorial smile.]

Come on, quick.

[And she starts sprinting to the road.

No one kill anyone in there while we're gone, please.]

Oh, that's great! I hope you're all getting along. [He nervously rubs his head.] It's kind of weird. People from your time just keep showing up lately.

I don't think so? [The day when she said no, it had been overcast, sort of stormy, but it wasn't night.]

Maybe when you're feeling better, I could take you for a spin?

[So I'd stuck with chi healing.]

I see.

[She takes out the paring knives and hands Asami one.]

Thanks.

[And Katara starts in on the peppers.]

So what else can you tell me about this Tarrlok guy?

Well we [Tarrlok and she] were told that people come here in cycles.

That... actually doesn't sound too bad.

That's right. But we've never had anyone from our future until this cycle. And- did you say there was someone with you?

[Don't rub it in.

Korra cocks her head a little, staring at the top of the can. Her thumb sits on the potential opening, while her index finger presses its way under the tab. SHHHHKKKT! The can gives way suddenly, and her thumb becomes covered in soda. She looks surprised.]

Whoa!

[Hey, not so fast! She quickly takes off as soon as she realizes what Katara is doing. Korra doesn't hesitate or spare a glance over her shoulder. She's leaving that behind right now. Right now is the earth beneath her feat, the fire in her heart, and the liquid flowing through her veins. A smile, the biggest and most heartfelt one she's worn yet, spreads across her face.

Yes.]

[She wonders why Katara asked that. she decides to dismiss that. Should she somehow chop something? What should she be chopping?]

He was [is? was, whatever] the councilman from the the Northern Water Tribe and the Chairman of the council. He's been a pretty ambitious politician, but he also took the conflict with the Equalists too far. [...] It didn't seem like it at first, he was just aggressive. He created a taskforce to hunt down Equalist strongholds, and Korra jointed it for a while. But... [...Nah let's skip where Korra's from] After Chief Bei Fong resigned [was tricked, more like] a man named Saikhan took over, and he was allies with Tarlokk. The two of the instituted a curfew for non-benders, and any non-benders who had ties to the Equalists were arrested too.

[She's going to... pause here]

Yeah, another guy from my time. His name is Tarrlok.

Then that's something to look forward to. [A beat] The wings are weird, aren't they?

[Oh. Whoops. Maybe he shouldn't have thrown it.]

Uh. Be careful. Don't shake it first.

Wow, another one? Jinora and Asami came at the same time, too. Is he part of the family?

[Well, Katara was planning on stopping when they reached the path.

But one glance over her shoulder at that grin tells her all she needs to know.

She needs this.

So even though her heart is aching for Aang right now, and there is a not small part of her that wants to shove everyone out of her house just so she can protect him, the much larger part of her focuses on the right now. This girl, Aang's successor, this stranger, her grandchildren's protector.

So she grins herself and looks straight ahead, turning her attention completely to the run, pacing her stride for a longer race.]

Race you there!

[Come on, Korra. Let's show them how Water Tribe girls get it done.

They can stop when they get to the riverbank. Katara, for one, will be panting.]

[A power grab? Or was it because he was scared?

...both?]

That's a terrible thing to do.

[Katara's already got a small stack of peppers going. But it's clear her focus isn't on it - or on the fact that Asami's not cutting. She's listening to the story.]

No. [She says this in a "How could you ever" voice, even if she knows Aang has no clue who he is.]

I've been trying to pretend they don't exist.

Of course it was! [...Too strong] It was.

The worst I saw was in the Dragon Flats borough though. The power was out [possibly cut, probably cut] and the people in the district were protesting the curfew on top of it. Demanding their rights and to have the power restored. But... Saikhan's police treated it as an Equalist rally.

[...] Katara, they rounded up all of them with metalbending, they arrested all of them. We [Team Avatar] showed up just as they were doing that.

[...Fair enough] How about we go shopping, get you some clothes other than that sundress?

[It didn't bubble up too much, but the sudden opening really caught her off guard. Now she's bringing the soda up to her mouth to loudly such down the foam that overflowed.]

Oh. Is he... not nice?
