The Missing Avatar

Chapter 12

"Who was that?" Hiroshi asked his daughter who came into his office. Asami placed documents on his desk and looked up at him, he stared out the window watching the car that dropped off Asami "what do you mean?" Asami asked making her father turn around in anger "Who was that?! Who dropped you off?! When you left the house you got in a grey pick up truck with a girl with short hair and now you got dropped of by a black FD RX-7, I didn't see the driver so tell me who was that?!?" He was mad

"that's just my friend Korra"

"Don't lie to me!"

"I'm not lying" Asami was trying to stay calm while her father yelled "Opal had an emergency so Korra offered to give me a ride to work"

"I just want you safe Asami" he softened up walking towards Asami, she can smell the scotch with a bit of whiskey in his breath as he got closer, she looked over to the desk seeing an empty bottle and a half full glass cup with 2 large ice cubes "are you drunk at work?" She asked him making him chuckle "it helps me think" he said smiling

"That isn't good for you" Asami moved away from her father throwing out the empty bottle and was about to grab the glass cup until Hiroshi slammed his hand against the desk making her flinch back "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TELLING ME WHATS GOOD AND WHATS NOT!! YOU ARE JUST A CHILD, STAY IN YOUR PLACE!!"

Asami was fed up with him, "the day I lost my Mother was the same day I lost my Father" She said

"Asami I-" he didn't get a chance to say anything due to the fact Asami left the room slamming the door.

—Gommu's Pov —

I was walking around do what I do best...Asking for money of course!

"Yo Gommu!" I heard my name being called, I turned around seeing my favorite person in the world "Say is that Korra!"

"I've been looking for you man" she smiled walking towards me handing me a small brown bag "let's go we're going to visit Justin" she said and I followed her, we were walking since she left her car back home

I remember the day I met Korra, I met her family first though, I had trust issues, I didn't want to take the food or medicine they offered, I always preferred getting money and I get my own food but every since debit cards or Credit cards or even Apple Pay became a thing no one carries cash so I was starving myself, then Korra came in.

—the day Korra and Gommu met—

"Hey everyone, we're back!" Zaheer and Ghazan walked by with Korra, they had boxes in they hands that had food. They passed it around but Gommu stayed in his corner. "Everyone this is my daughter Korra, she'll be here more often as well"

One of the kids quickly ran up to her "wanna play soccer with us?" He asked as he held her hand "sure let's go" she smiled as the kids pulled her to an open area to play.

'I don't understand how people can trust someone they just met' Gommu thought as the 2 older men finish passing out the food

"Alright Korra, let's go!"

Korra waved off the kids and everyone else then notice a lonely man in the corner, he didn't have food for himself, she looked in the box seeing only one bag left "dad, he didn't get one" Korra said something about it

"I know, he always rejects us" her father told her "now come on, your mother and aunt are probably back at the house from the docks"

Korra didn't go she instead grabbed the last bag and walked towards the lonely man, she kneeled down to his level "hey there, I'm Korra" her soft angelic voice rang through his ears, he looked up at her then looked away. "Let me guess, trust issues? You think we poisoned it? Or maybe you think we want to gain your trust so we can put you to work for us" Korra hit the truth, Gommu looked back at her "I don't want anything in return, look I know it's hard out here with no food, no clean clothes and no medicine so trust me when I say I want to help you" Korra said then reached in her pocket "if you won't take the food, then take this" she handed the man a 10 dollar bill "get yourself something to eat" she then walked away
