"I don't understand why you're so bad at this," Ikki said with her usual tact, and yelped when Jinora kicked her. "What?"

"Maybe if you think about it like water," Jinora said, shooting a glare at her little sister.

"But it's air," Korra said. "They're two completely different elements."

"Jinora's right," Taya said. "Perhaps if you focused on how air is similar to water, you can connect to it."

"My mother was killed when I was very small," Asami said quietly. "By a couple of Triple Threats looking to make a name for themselves."

"I'm sorry," Korra said, not sure what else she could say.

Asami shrugged it off. "Gangs are a real problem here," she said. "Mako and Bolin lost their parents to a gang too. And like it or not, most gang members are benders."

You trained with the best of the best, she reminded herself. And numbers aren't always an advantage. Unless they were trained to fight as a cohesive unit, the gang members were just as likely to beat up their friends as they were to hit her. They had to be careful who they hit, while she could hit anybody. You have the advantage.

She also had Naga.

Huang ran his hand through what little hair he had left. "Queen of the crazy freaks," he grumbled. As a bender himself, Hei should have felt offended, but honestly, he agreed. Bending was an aberration, a mistake made by nature that humanity exploited. That's why he was there.

"This changes his plans, doesn't it, Yin?" he asked the girl.
