Who: Korra
Broadcast: yep!
Action: Aboard the Wonderduck
When: Now!

[Have a wet doggy nose complete with a tuft of white fur visible on your video network, flooters. Naga is attempting to sniff at the device, occasionally blocking view completely before Korra can be heard shooing her away.]

Hi, everyone!

[Korra smiles sheepishly and runs a hand through her short hair at the back of her neck.]

I guess I missed some stuff? All I know is I was on the ship and I woke up and we're in orbit again and my room is covered in destroyed chew toys - so... thanks for taking care of Naga? Whoever you are. Anyway-!!

[To the meat of the information she's seeking!]

I was wondering, since this is my first time back in orbit since we left the planet: What do people do for fun when we're not visiting other places?

[A girl can only abuse the weights in the recreational room on the Wonderduck so many times, ok.]

Though... I guess since I'm the pilot it'd be probably be better if I was driving the ship, huh.

[Still!! She's glad to be awake and is at least trying to find people to hang out with. Sort of. If anyone wants to seek her out aboard the Wonderduck, they are welcome to do so.]

Hmm...

[Hang on she's gotta think on this.]

Not really. I'm different because I'm the Avatar.

[Korra, not everyone knows what that is....]

I, uh- I help people! I protect them from spirits or people who cause trouble or try to hurt people.

"The Avatar?"

[She repeats the title. Testing how it sounds on her own tongue.]

And you protect people? All by yourself?

[The question isn't meant to come off like a question of Korra's ability, so much as... well, Wanda cannot even imagine doing the work of the Avengers all by herself.]

For the most part - yeah. Not always though. I have my friends with me to help! Or.. I did. Until I came here.

[Which is kind of sad, actually.]

[And that does make Wanda's heart go out to her a bit. She was lucky enough to have several of her friends here with her. Though, it had not always been that way. And remembering that time definitely gives her some sympathy towards Korra.]

And they too are "Avatars?"

[Again, trying to draw parallels in her head between the Avengers and Korra's world.]

Oh - no! That's just me. The Avatar is someone who can bend all four elements - earth, fire, air, and water. Their - my job is to maintain the balance between humans and spirits. So any human conflicts or spiritual conflicts tend to fall squarely into the list of things that are 'My Problem', you know?

Not that my friends aren't really cool, of course. Most of them are benders like me too - Mako bends Fire and Lightning, Bolin bends Earth and Lava, and Asami is a non-bender. She makes really amazing stuff though - she's an engineer.

[Honestly - without them she would have been completely alone. She knew often times being the Avatar could be very isolating. She'd felt it for a long time after she'd been hurt by Zaheer. They had brought her back from that brink.]

They're all really great people. What about you? What are your friends like?

[You know, since they're on the topic.]

[No, she doesn't quite know, but that doesn't make it clear to Wanda that Korra's job seems to come with a lot of weight and responsibility. And it was also clear that she cared very deeply for her friends. Her glowing praise for her friends brings a smile to Wanda's face. And now it was apparently her turn to gush a little.]

They're dorks.

[... or not?]

[But the smile growing on Wanda's face and the light in her eyes suggests there's more.]

I don't know about "bending elements," but my friends are super in their own ways. Strong, smart, fast, clever, confident, they each have their qualities they excel in. And all of them can pull off some pretty neat tricks. Together they are quite the force to be reckoned with.

[Most recent team drama aside.]

I'm lucky to have them.

[And she means it, too.]

They sound really special.

[She's smiling genuinely and does feel happy but deep down it does make her miss her friends a bit.]

My friends and I kind of have saved the world a few times... not to brag or anything.

[Okay, she wants to brag. Don't mind her.]

Without them I couldn't have done it. I think if they were here, we'd maybe even be able to find a way back home. I don't know how entirely possible that is, but we'd find a way.

[They made her feel like anything was possible, even if sometimes she didn't want to feel that way about herself.]

[Yeah, Wanda does not miss that obvious want to brag. But really, it just makes her smile more. Her tone as she responds is playful. She wants to brag some too clearly.]

We've saved the world a few times, too.

[A pause before she adds.]

Not to brag or anything.

[She then adds more sympathetically.]

I am sorry that your friends are not here then. It sounds like we could really use them.

Yeah... me too. But- maybe... maybe this place isn't all bad.

[See? She's already making a new friend.]

I think it'd be worse having my friends here and just... still being totally useless on how to get out of here. I'd want to help - I want to help now.
