Chapter Text
It was dark and misty, the racetrack always looked like that in the night, but lately Asami has found that it is only this place that makes her feel grounded, after his father´s arrest she hasn’t go back inside the house, too many memories, but she has been coming to the track, to cry, to scream to hate on her father on the equalist and on the benders. But tonight, a slim figure was there with her too, she didn’t hear him come at first, but now as he is standing there twisting his mustache, Asami realize she is not in danger, in fact he knows him, out of his equalist uniform and just wearing a blue suit she recognizes the man that works as Future Industries chief of sales.
-It´s been a long time since I last saw you- the man says.
-Funny, I´ve been seeing you a lot lately- she responds. – Fighting the avatar and helping Amon.
-I have to do what´s best for our cause, like your father did. You must be very proud of him.
That´s just too much for her to take in, she is too angry at everyone, especially her father, how could he have kept this secret for so long? how could she have been so naïve, so oblivious?
- What he did was a fucking crime, and now we are all gonna pay for it, he is going to prison, I’m broke and homeless and even you, Future Industries is done, you and everyone working there are now jobless- Her face was turning red from the anger.
-Your father is a great man, he risked everything for a cause bigger than any of us. - He was now yelling at her. -Equality, for everyone, not only benders but every person. Don´t you see it Asami? Think how much this revolution can change things, no more non-benders abused by criminal gangs, jobs with equal incomes for all workers, government representation, no more broken families like yours. You of all people should be onboard with Amon´s revolution.
She kept silence, she hated that he had a point, after her mother died, her family has been broken, her whole childhood was a constant remainder of that, and it was benders that had caused so much suffering.
-It doesn’t matter, you have no chances against the avatar, chief Beifong and all the others. - Her voice was now low. She was not trying to correct him, just stating a fact.
-We may, if we have an informant, someone they trust, someone who could pretend to be on their side, even fight with them against us, but at the end of the day telling us their plans and strategies, that kind of advantage could be our last hope, for the revolution and for all the non-benders out there.
She was speechless, “who do you think you are! Who do you think I am?” she thought.
- After all what have they done for you? That ash maker didn’t blink twice before dumping your ass for that avatar girl, who by the way didn´t stop once before having your father arrested, she knew the impact that her actions would have on your life, Beifon and Tenzin did as well, but that didn´t stop them did it? No bender ever stops to consider how their actions would affect non-benders lives. But we and Amon are trying to change that, and you may be the missing piece, join us Asami. Live up to your father´s name.
She stayed silence, damm… he was right, and deep down she knew it, after everything Mako and Korra were almost officially together, after everything she did for Mako and his brother, he cheated on her, she still didn´t have the evidence but her gut was telling her he did, and with no other that the avatar herself. She was feeling lonelier that she has ever felt, plus there was this feeling that her role in the so called team avatar felt almost like a fancy driver of the all mighty benders. And when this stupid war was over what will happen? They all will move on with their lives, and she will be left with nothing again. No family no business, nothing. She will not have it, not this time. If following her father´s footsteps was the safest road, she will take it all the way.
-Ok. I´m in. Where should I start?
The off-duty lieutenant smiles just a little bit. – Just be smart, make sure you are present in every council meeting, and decision-making process. Earn their trust, and we will be in touch with you, after all, no one will suspect if you keep coming to the track. It has always been your playground.
-Sounds easy enough. – The raven hair woman said.
And just like that the lieutenant turn around and disappeared into the night. Just like that she became a doble agent.
