Korra groaned as she took in her surroundings. She was in a cell, obviously. She tried to move but a sharp wave of pain went through her body and decided against it The Waterbender remembered what had happened: She had successfully gotten her children out only to be captured and electrocuted. Looking around again she came up with a positive and a negative to her situation. One: she was alive. And two: she didn't know for how long.

The door opened and Amon walked in followed by a man in a wheelchair. Lieutenant. The years hadn't been too good on him. He had been worn into an old man and by the looks of it, his bravado had faded away a long time ago.

"So, Avatar, you decided to join us?" Amon said as he walked over to her, hands behind his back.

"Aren't you happy?" Korra muttered with a sarcastic tone. The masked man narrowed his eyes at her and stomped on her side, effectively breaking several ribs. The Avatar grunted but refused to give him the satisfaction of crying out.

"You will speak only when I say you can," he commanded, turning away.

"Yeah right," she retorted. "And by the way, you need to come up with new methods of shutting me up. The whole breaking my ribs thing is getting old."

The man snapped his fingers. A dozen Chi Blockers were in the cell within a matter of seconds. This isn't good, Korra thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But we don't even know where Korra is," Tenzin said with a sigh. The adults were still trying to come up with a plan to get her back…if she was even still alive.

Mako gave a deep sigh as well. The Airbender was right. They had no idea where Korra had gone, or how she even found the kids.

"We do," the twins said, walking into the room. The adults looked at them, surprise on their faces.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The chi blockers quickly hauled the Avatar onto her feet and hung her hands from the ceiling, leaving her feet dangling.

Amon approached her, a whip in hand and handed it over to a masked figure. The man nodded and lashed out at the Waterbender. Korra grunted several times as the whip sliced into her skin, her eyes tightly shut and teeth clenched so she wouldn't let out a scream.

"You're still the stubborn girl you were years ago," Amon commented as he saw the great effort the Avatar was making to not cry out in pain.

"And you're still the sadistic mad man who wants all Benders dead," she retorted.

He chuckled darkly as he made his way towards her, stopping when he was face to face to her. He threw a quick powerful jab at her rib cage, where he had broken a couple ribs. Korra couldn't help but letting out a cry of pain as he continued to add pressure to her side.

"That's why  you're wrong. I don't just want all Benders dead," he whispered into her ear. "I want your entire pathetic culture exterminated." And with that he left.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Are you sure?" their father asked. The twins nodded.

"There is a door in the alley next to the theater," Mac said.

"There was a bridge that led to another set of doors but Mom tore it down," Karah added, looking away. The little Waterbender wrapped an arm around her and she returned the gesture.

Mako nodded and pulled them into his lap. "We know where she is now," he stated, returning to the business at hand.

"We don't know if she's still there," Lin replied, a little weary of the information. Not that she distrusted the kids, but because of the fact that the place was pretty much in plain sight.

"Amon isn't going to risk moving her," Tenzin  replied. "I think someone would notice a large band of Equalists making their way out of there."

"But there has to be more than one entry point," Bolin  said.

"We need to get her back," Mako whispered. His brother placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We will Bro, but we need to think this through," the Earthbender said.

"He's right. Going in without a plan won't do Korra any good," lin added.

The Firebender sighed deeply again, knowing they were right.

"We want to come," Karah said.

"No," all the adults replied.

"Why not? She's our mom," Mac added.

"Your mother wouldn't want you two risking your lives to save her. You two and the rest of the kids will stay on the island with Grandma, Grandpa, Zuko and Katara," Mako answered firmly. There was no way he would risk losing his children too.

The twins sighed deeply and got off his lap. He turned them around so they would face him. "Please understand," he pleaded. They made a face but nodded and exited the room. Once they were a safe distance away the other children came out from their hiding places.

"Well done," Sam  said.

"You two were great," Ty added with a smile.

"Yeah, I bet they think we're going to be good little kids and stay put," Rohan added, smirk on his face.

"Don't know what gave them that idea," the twins added with a grin. The other children grinned as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Korra was being dragged down a corridor from her cell. By the looks of it she was still in the same building. A Chi Blocker trotted in front of her and opened the door to another cell. The Avatar's eyes widened as she saw a machine in the middle of the room. That was definitely not good. The men hauled her onto the table and wrapped ropes around her four limbs and stepped away.

Amon and Lieutenant walked into the room shortly. He stepped forward to look at the Avatar.

"Do you know what this do?" he asked.

The Waterbender just glared at him. She didn't know what does it do, but she was sure she wouldn't like it. And if she had to bet, she was about to find out.

"Let me show you," the masked man replied, starting the machine. Korra panicked as her arms and legs started to be pulled in different directions. She tried to fight it but soon enough she felt the strain as she began to be pulled apart. She let out a series of screams that echoed throughout the entire cell. A bigger scream broke through the air when a sickening pop was heard.

Amon grinned behind the mask. He had dislocated her shoulder for the  time. He saw how the Avatar writhed in pain, trying to free herself from the torture. He let a few more minutes pass before stopping the machine. However, the girl continued to scream in pain as the machine kept her limbs stretched out.

"Painful, isn't it?" he told her. Korra responded by yelling louder and shutting her eyes. When she opened them, they were glowing and she immediately had the strength to break free of her binds.

Amon backed away as she sat up in the table. She stood up and with a swift movement, burned the demonic thing to the ground. Then she advanced towards the masked man but crumbled to the floor in pain. Korra immediately exited the Avatar state, not wanting to risk being killed and the cycle being broken.

"Smart girl," he noted as she opened her eyes to reveal their blue color. "Your son has the exact same eyes, doesn't he?" he asked, as if he were actually curious.

The Waterbender glared at him. "You'll never touch them again," she spat.

"And how would you know this? Aren't you even a little curious about why you're still alive?" he asked.

Korra said nothing as she cradled her left arm. He narrowed his eyes at her and stomped down on her right leg. She screamed in pain as he repeated the process over and over causing a series cracks to be heard. She tried to push him away with her good arm, but he simply slapped it away as he stomped down her leg.

"Stop! Please stop!" Korra cried as tears of pain ran down her cheeks. Finally the masked man backed away. She placed her hand over her leg and flinched at the pain that came with it. Her leg was definitely broken in several places.

"Do you regret saving your kids?" he asked.

The Avatar tried to stand up, but the pain was too much and fell down to the floor, twisting in pain. She looked over to Amon and her eyes grew dark. "Never," she said in a cold tone. "You wouldn't know what it's like to be a parent. I would do this a thousand times if it meant keeping my children safe. That's what a mother does. She protects. She raises. She loves."

"Touching," he replied, turning his back on her. "I may not know what it is to be a parent. But I know what it is like to lose a parent."

Korra gave him a confused look. "What-What do you mean?" she asked feeling weaker and weaker by the second. It wouldn't be long before she blacked out.

"I'm not Amon," the masked man stated. The Avatar's eyes widened. "I'm his son." And with that statement she was out.
