start however you want to. - ❤️

As the Chief of Police, I have seen some despicable individuals pass through Republic City. However, the crimes you have committed are incomprehensible. Your actions have caused irreparable harm to thousands of innocent people and their families.

Now that you are caught, you will face the full force of the legal system.

"Korra and I exchange a quick glance, both agreeing on the severity of your actions."

But, before that happens, "I lean in closer to you" we need to understand what drove you to commit such atrocities. Was it power? Greed? Madness? Speak now, or suffer the consequences.

"The smile on your face sends shivers down my spine. I maintain my stoic composure and reply"

I see. That is certainly a common cause among those who commit heinous acts. But, to be clear, there can be no justification for killing innocent people.

"Korra chimes in, her voice firm"

"Do you have any idea the damage you've done? The lives you've destroyed?"

"We wait for your response, both of us tense and ready to take action if necessary."

"My expression darkens at your words. I feel a surge of anger, but know that maintaining cool composure is the best course of action in this moment."

You have caused immeasurable pain and suffering to not only those three girls but also their families and loved ones.

"Korra takes a deep breath before speaking"

"Are you remorseful for what you've done? Do you understand the gravity of your actions?"

"We wait for your response, watching for any sign of genuine remorse or understanding."

"My expression visibly tightens, and for a moment I feel a pang of grief at the mention of children."

Yes, I did have a child. "I pause for a moment, regaining my composure before continuing." However, that is not relevant to this discussion. We're here to talk about your actions and the harm you have caused to so many innocent lives. Can you explain to us why you felt the need to take the lives of those three girls? We want to understand what drove you to commit such a heinous crime.

"My heart momentarily skips a beat at your words. Could it be possible that you know something about my child?"

I'm not sure what you mean. Please focus on the matter at hand. Why did you take the lives of those three girls?

"My expression hardens, and I feel a lump form in my throat at your words. I can't believe what I'm hearing. You seem to know too much."

I'm warning you not to play games with me. If you have information regarding my child, I insist you tell me right now. This is not a matter to be taken lightly.

"The anger wells up inside of me, though I try to keep a calm exterior"

Do not taunt me with lies about my child. You know nothing about my past or what I have gone through.

"Korra speaks up"

"Lin, let me handle this. We will not entertain your lies or manipulations any longer. You will face the justice system for your crimes."

"Korra turns towards the exit"

"I think we're done here. Lin, let's go."

I nod in agreement and follow her out, trying to push the sudden anxiety about the mention of my lost child out of my mind.

"My heart races at your words. I pause for a moment, taking a deep breath before responding"

I don't know what you're talking about. My child is no longer with us, and I have found peace with that.

"Korra turns towards me, placing a hand on my shoulder in support."

"Lin, listen to me. You don't have to listen to this person's taunts. Let's go."

"I nod, grateful for her support, and we leave the interrogation room together."

"Your words send a chill down my spine, but I try not to let it show. I maintain my composure and stride out of the interrogation room without giving you another glance."

"As Chief of Police, I normally do not have the luxury of visiting prisoners. However, something about your case has been weighing on me since our initial interrogation."

"I enter the visiting area and see you sitting at a table with your hands cuffed in front of you. You look up at me as I approach, a smirk on your face."

"What brings you to visit me, Chief Beifong?"

"I take a deep breath before responding"

"I wanted to talk to you about something. Something you said during our last encounter."

"I take a seat across from you, my expression serious."

"You mentioned my child. My child who was stillborn on June 15th, 1945. How did you know that?"

"My heart races as you claim to be my son. It's impossible - I have grieved for my child for years, and this person before me is a stranger."

"I...I don't know what you're talking about," I say, my voice trembling slightly.

"Korra speaks up from behind me"

"Lin, are you alright?"

I don't respond to her - I can't focus on anything except the shocking revelation before me.

"How could you be my son?" I ask, unable to contain the emotion in my voice.

"You smile at me, looking eerily calm despite the situation."

"I admit it's hard to believe," you say. "But I've been searching for you for years. And now that I've found you, we can finally be together as a family."

*I stare at you in disbelief, unsure what to say or do

You're right. That won't happen.

"I get up from my seat, my expression hardened."

"I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but it's over now. You're a psychopath, and I will not entertain your delusions any longer."

I turn to leave the visiting area when I notice that the guards have started to approach us, as they must have seen my sudden outburst.

"Keeping my cool and composed demeanor, I turn back towards you one last time."

"Stay away from me and anyone else associated with me. You will face the consequences of your actions."

"Korra places a hand on my shoulder as we exit the area, making our way back to headquarters."

"I stop in my tracks and turn towards you, my expression stern."

"I will not tolerate any dangerous or harmful behavior from you. If you continue to display such disturbing tendencies, I will make sure that you are properly restrained."

"But," I pause for a moment, "we can provide you with something to occupy your time during your stay here. It is important to keep you from getting bored."

"I signal one of the officers standing nearby to get you some books or games to play with and a guard steps forward with a supply of reading materials."

"Here you go," I say taking a step back, "but remember: you are under surveillance and any deviant behavior will be dealt with severely."

"I then turn around, leaving the area, making a mental note to keep you under close watch."

"I understand the gravity of the situation and gather Korra, her friends and my own team. We hold a strategic meeting in order to come up with a plan to take down Kuvira's army."

"After assessing our resources, I propose that we split into two teams. One team will work on freeing the prisoners- Su and her kids- while the other will engage Kuvira and her forces directly."

"Korra nods, realizing the urgency of the situation."

"I'll go with Team B and confront Kuvira directly," she says.

I nod in agreement and turn to the rest of the group.

"Team A will work on freeing the prisoners. Our objective is to create a diversion, drawing Kuvira's forces away from the prison facilities."

"I pause for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing"

"We cannot predict what Kuvira may do if

"I appreciate your input, Bolin, but I do not believe it is appropriate to involve a convicted criminal in our plan," I say firmly.

Tenzin nods in agreement. "I agree with Lin. It's too risky."

Korra chimes in. "Besides, we don't know if they can be trusted to follow our plans. We need individuals we can rely on fully."

I pause for a moment, considering the suggestion. "Even if we do involve the psychopath, we would need to keep them under close watch. They have already displayed unstable behavior and cannot be trusted."

"I turn towards Bolin with a stern look"

"We must think of the safety of everyone involved, not just our success rate. Is that clear?"

"Bolin nods reluctantly, accepting the decision."

"I understand your concerns, Bolin," I reply. "But we cannot ignore the severity of his actions."

"It is crucial that we maintain the safety of our team and those we are trying to protect. As for his claim of being my son, we have no evidence to support it. Until we can verify his identity, he remains a convicted criminal in our custody, and we must treat him as such."

"I turn to the rest of the group to emphasize my point."

"Remember, our objective is to stop Kuvira's army and free Su and her children. We must focus on that goal and not allow ourselves to get sidetracked by unfounded claims or individual biases."

"With that, I lead the team out to begin our mission, keeping a watchful eye for any unexpected developments."

"I answer the phone call, my expression hardening as I recognize the voice on the other end."

"What do you want?" I ask, trying to keep my tone steady.

"I just wanted to talk," the psychopath says calmly. "I know you may not believe me, but I really do think of you as a mother."

I feel a mix of emotions - anger, confusion, and fear - bubbling up inside of me. "I am not your mother, and I will not entertain your delusions," I reply firmly.

There is a silence for a moment, and then the psychopath speaks again. "I hope you know that I didn't mean to cause anyone harm. I just wanted to play my little game. And maybe, if you had given me a chance, we could have had some fun together."

I feel a chill run down my spine

I take a step back and allow Tenzin to take control of the call. While I appreciate his concern, I also recognize that I must remain calm and composed despite any discomfort or emotion brought on by the situation with the psychopath.

As Tenzin begins to speak, I overhear his firm tone and know that he is taking charge of the situation.

"Stop this nonsense at once," he says sternly into the phone.

"I do not know what your intentions are, but you cannot continue to disturb our peace in this manner."

After a moment of silence, Tenzin nods his head slightly, indicating that the conversation has ended.

"I apologize for any inconvenience," he says, placing the phone back on the receiver.

He then turns towards me, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Are you alright?"

*I nod, grateful for his presence and

"After the mission, everything went back to normal, but I cannot shake the feeling that I need to speak with the psychopath once more," I say thoughtfully, voicing my thoughts aloud.

"But why?" Korra asks cautiously. "You know he's unstable."

"I know," I reply sternly. "But something keeps nagging at me. I need closure on this matter. I need to understand why he did what he did, and if there is any truth to his claim of being my son."

Everyone looks at me, uncertainty clear on their faces.

"Lin, are you sure about this?" Tenzin asks, concern in his voice.

I nod firmly, steeling myself for whatever may come.

"I need to do this. It's important to me."

Without waiting for a response from the others, I gather my things and set off towards the

"I appreciate your concern, Korra," I reply, "but I must do this alone. It's a personal matter."

"I understand that, Lin," Tenzin interjects, "but you should not take any unnecessary risks. Let us come with you, just in case."

I hesitate for a moment, weighing my options. While I know I could handle the situation on my own, I also understand the wisdom in having backup.

"Very well," I concede. "You may come with me. But stay back and let me handle the conversation. And be on guard at all times."

We set out together towards the prison where the psychopath is being held, our steps firm and determined. As we approach the entrance, my heart begins to race with both anxiety and anticipation. I can only hope that this meeting will provide the answers I seek.

"As we enter the prison, I find myself filled with trepidation. I steel myself for what's to come and move forward, my team following close behind me. As we approach the cell where the psychopath is being held, I can see him sitting in the corner, his gaze intense as he looks up at me."

"I was wondering when you would show up," the psychopath says calmly, his eyes locked onto mine.

I take a deep breath, trying not to let his words shake me. "Let's cut to the chase," I reply sternly. "What do you want?"

The psychopath leans back in his chair, a small smirk forming on his lips. "I merely wish to talk," he says softly. "To understand why you never gave me a chance. Why you never tried to understand me."

"I don't need to understand you

"I have no reason to believe that you are my son," I reply firmly, refusing to give in to his manipulations. "But even if you were, that does not excuse the harm you have caused to others."

The psychopath's expression darkens at my words, but he quickly composes himself and leans back once more.

"I never meant to cause anyone harm," he says, his voice sounding almost sincere. "I only wanted to play my game, to see how far I could push things."

"That is unacceptable behavior," I retort, my voice rising slightly. "You need to take responsibility for your actions."

The psychopath merely shrugs, his smirk returning to his face. "What can I say? I'm a bad seed. But at least now you understand that we're not so different, you and I."

I feel my anger rising at
