Chapter 60: Butterfly(8)

We arrived in front of the mansion with the huge mecha and the prisoners.

I saw the other officers drag Hiroshi away in handcuffs and with a blindfold on, I also saw Asami running behind them shouting to let her father go and that he didn't do anything bad. When she saw us with the mecha and the captives she was stunned for a few seconds before she started to tell us that it was a setup and that her father was innocent.

I approached her and told her to come with me inside for a few minutes, Mako came with me as well to be the pillar that she needed in this trying time.

"Asami, I'm sorry... It's all true, he's been helping the Equalists for a long time now."

"NO, he's a good person, how can he do something like this, HOW COULD HE HELP THEM?"

"Good people can make bad decisions, he was in a bad place when he did this and he still is. He might seem like he moved on, but he didn't at least not completely."

She looked at me with teary eyes. I'm wasn't a sensible person by any mean in my past life or this one, I didn't care about other people's feelings in general, but the way she looked, the pain she had in her eyes remained me of myself when I looked in the mirror when Naomi died, it hit me hard, while I knew I was doing the right thing I still felt guilty.

'I'm such a liar, I just told Nya yesterday that I stopped carrying about the consequences of hard decisions, and here I am lamenting about myself.'

"Asami, you are a smart woman I could give you nice words that will make you feel better, all of them lies, but what would that do, sooner or later you will need to come face to face with the facts as they are and believe me that it's better to do it now than later. So I'll give you something that you might hate me for a long time, the truth.

The truth is that your father didn't fully get over your mother's death, he still blames benders for that, and to be honest, I don't blame him, it was a time when I did as well, I wanted them wiped out from the face of Earth, I only got rid of such though because I had Mako and Bolin because I knew them because I knew that benders could also be good people. Your father... Well, he had Amon whispering poisonous ideas in his ear, while Amon pushed him a little from behind, the choice, in the end, was his, he is entirely at fault for what he's done, but those are his faults and not yours, you need know that while today might be bleak, tomorrow is still waiting for us to make it better."

"Thank you, Ethan, you don't know what this means to me, you saying this..."

"I think it's too soon to thank me. Who do you think told the police about your father? I did, I knew for some time and I keep it from you because I wanted to find out if you knew as well or not. After I found out you didn't know anything I started to make my plan on what to do with this information. In the end, I decided the best course of action is to go directly to the police."

"I understand, I just need to be alone with Mako for a while."

I got up and left, I said all I had to say, there wasn't anything more to say.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to put you into a position where you had to choose between your friends and your father, so I took the decision out of your hands. I know what I did is unforgivable, but I did what I thought was right at the time with the hand I was dealt. I don't expect you to forgive me, I just want you to know the truth."

I then went outside to wait for them to come out, it took a while but by the time all the prisoners were in the transports and the mecha was strapped to a car they finally came out. Lin approached her and told her that she need to come with them for a few questions and she said that the shouldn't be any problem because I guaranteed that she wasn't involved. She nodded and went along with it. She passed me but didn't even look at me.

We got into the cars and we drove back to the police station. On the way, the other team joined us with Korra just to be on the safer side. That day the police gave a statement that Future Industries and Cabbage Corb have been found having equalists weapons in their possession and that Hiroshi Sato has been found building weapons for them under his house. This caused waves, two of the major companies with non-bending leadership have been found cooperating with the Equalist, it was big news.

While this was happening, behind the scenes we were all questioned about the police, even me, about our involvement in this matter, while Lin said that Asami wouldn't be charged with anything, the officer that questioning her was sure that she was guilty of something, this made Mako mad, the more he was grilling her, the more Mako wanted to punch the guy in the face. Unfortunately, I beat him to the punch, no pun intended.

I punched him square in the face, breaking his face. While he was down the other officers tried to subdue me. Under normal circumstances, I would have entered 'limbo state' to calm myself down and then calm Mako, but today I simply didn't want to, truth be told I wanted to blow some steam, and to be perfectly honest I never liked cops.

In the end, it took half the precinct to subdue me and take me to a cell.
