Book 1;7

                                    

                                          
"Hey, everything is going to be ok. Korra called Tenzin and he's going to get us out of here."
"Everything is going to be ok? How can you say that? We're in jail, Asami. I'm suppose to be an inventor one day, I'm not suppose to have a record! If my parents were here, they'd probably have a moose cow! My mom would be so mad at me right now," I freak out.
Yep, we're in jail- No thanks to councilman Tarrlok. I can't stand him. I've only been 14 for two seconds and I've already got a record! I shouldn't be in jail, I should be in bed! This is just a little much for me. I know I joined Team Avatar, but with my city falling apart, and then Hiroshi... I'm trying to keep bad things from happening, and I can't. Nothing is working!
"She wouldn't," I hear a voice say through our cell walls.
"Mako, is that you?" I ask, putting my ear to the wall.
"And Bolin!" 
"But every time I do something bad, you always say that mom would want me to be a good girl," I remind him. "That's what she use to say."
"Listen, mom and dad would be incredibly proud of you, Bolin, and I."
"But we're in jail," I point out with a sigh.
"Yeah, because we stood up for something we believe in."
"And I know mom would be impressed that her daughter can kick a$$!" Bolin says with, I imagine, the biggest smile on his face.
"I told you everything is going to be ok," Asami says as she wraps  her arm around my shoulders.
"Thanks, guys. And Asami... I'm sorry I've been ignoring you."
"It's ok. I was kind of a jerk to you. I guess when you think about it, it wasn't so far fetched that my father would be an Equalist. You were right for sticking with Korra, I'm sorry."
...
When Korra came in with the news about Hiroshi possibly being an Equalist, everyone was shocked.. Except for me, but that doesn't mean I wasn't completely heartbroken. Being Hiroshi's biggest fan you'd think I'd be shocked by the news, but I knew everything about him, which is why I had reasons to believe he was guilty. I already knew that 12 years prior, Asami's mother was killed during a robbery by a firebender, and I knew that conveniently none of his staff were benders... and I knew how infatuated he was with my story. Hiroshi may have seemed fine on the outside, but I knew his pain all too well. My parents were killed by a firebender themselves, and even though I was once a bender myself, I could see why he'd have some hostility towards people like us, my brothers and I...
But that doesn't mean I ever supported the idea that all benders are bad and should get their bending taken away! Of course not. I didn't have any hard feelings towards benders because my brothers were nothing like the people who took our parents away from us. I didn't believe a person's ability to bend determined if they were good or bad, and I still believe that to this very day.
When Korra, Tenzin, and Lin left, Asami was fuming with anger. Sadly, I didn't make it any better. 
...
"The audacity of her. The fact that she smiled in our faces all day, and then accused my father of such crimes? I can't believe it!" I remember Asami shouting. 
"I mean maybe it wouldn't hurt to look into him just a little bit," I said quietly. 
Everybody turned to look at me. With the looks on their faces, you'd think I had two heads.
