Kailani stopped by her apartment to change clothes and pack some stuff. She took her hair down and braided it into two braids on each side. She sighed. She hoped Li and Lei were alright. She put her bag on her back and began to make her way to the docks.

Li felt Liang hug him as he slowly but surely began to calm down and get out of the Avatar State. He fell to his knee's in tears as Lei ran up and hugged him tightly also in tears. Mako and Bolin came running only to see them both in tears. "Dang it I was to slow.." Mako said as he began to walk towards them. Bolin put his hand on Mako's shoulder and shook his head as a notion to let them have their space.

Liang felt quite relieved and glad that the possibly volatile situation had been defused. She politely took a few steps back to give the Avatars soem breathing room. Her hand was shaking slightly as she wondered how Shin and Gen were doing.

After a while Shin limped back to the area. His left cheek had a little burn on it - nothing too serious, but no doubt painful - and his right temple had a nasty gash on it. He seemed quite shaken and unnerved. "I... I think the firebender got away... G-gen went after him with a squad of metalbenders..." He shook his head absentmindedly and just stared to the distance.

Liang blinked her eyes in confusion and approached the waterbender. "W-what happened? Where's Gen?" Her eyes widened with fear as Shin shook his head "I... I don't know... I don't know if he made it out before the building we were in collapsed." The former firebender sat down on the ground and seemingly calmly held her head. "W-what do you mean 'you don't know if he got out'? Y-you were there... Wh-what do you mean?" Her voice was trembling, but still the black haire woman was keeping her composure admirably well.

"I don't know because the last thing I saw before Gen literally threw me out of a window was the firebender gloating." Shin admitted as he lowered his gaze to the ground. "I think... I... think Gen might be -" The handsome waterbender was cut off by a nasty glare from Liang. "Don't you dare to say that Shin Yu... Don't you dare to finish that sentence." The black haired woman was now back on her feet, few tears rolled down her cheeks and it sounded like she was close to reaching her breaking point.

Li gathered himself as he overheard Liang and Shin's conversation he got up, walked over, and wrapped his arms around Liang "I promise you Shen-Wu will not get away with this." Li said "Even though we don't know each other much I will be here for you if you need me" he added. Lei got up and gathered herself as she walked over to Mako and Bolin "So what now?" Lei asked First you should got to Air Temple Island nearby there we have a few friends that could help you get around since after you need to go to the fire nation there you can speak with Fire Lord Izumi she will most likely have some info on Shen-Wu and what he's after." Mako said as Lei nodded her head and went back to Li Alright so we better go meet the people who decided to join us at the docks." Lei said as Li looked back at Liang "You coming with us?" He asked.

Shin was about to move and comfort Liang, but Li beat him to the punch. The waterbender had by now gathered his own composure enough to nod at the Avatar - as if telling him to take a good care of his friend - before turning on his heels. Judging by the direction the waterbender moved towards he went after the destructive firebender again.

Liang did not struggle as she was embraced, her ears heard two promises. Shen-Wu would pay and Li would help her stand. The former firebender wiped her eyes and steeled her resolve. For just a heartbeat she felt the familiar warmth inside her, but it was gone before she really could give it a thought. As the black haired woman turned on her heels to face the twin Avatars her golden eyes had a new kind of determined, cold look to them. "I'll go where you go. Lead the way, Avatars."
