章節 62: Butterfly(10)

"Weren't you mad at me? What changed?"

"Well at first I was angry, you were my friend, but you betrayed my trust and went behind my back. You even suspected that I was an equalist, so you can imagine the pain I felt when you told me. But then I started to think from your perspective. You found out that my father was working for Amon, you could have gone then and there to the police and turn him in and dragged me along with it, but you didn't. Even though it was dangerous you wanted to find out if I knew or not, you didn't want to condemn me, an innocent person."

"I'm happy you forgave me and quite surprised as well."

"Don't get me wrong I'm still upset with you, even though I understand why you did what you did, you still could have told me and believed that I would do the right thing, you just needed to have faith in the kind of person I am. The only reason I'm giving you a second chance is that you told me the truth in the end"

"I know, I wanted, I really wanted to tell you sooner, you are a good person Asami but... let's just say I wasn't brave enough to do it. Let's just start things fresh how about that?"

"Sure, but from now on, no more secrets."

"Of course! That being said I have something to tell you, Mako and Bolin, but now is not the right time."

"It never is but you still need to tell us, we are your friends we trust you, you just need to do the same."

"You know what, you are right, but it's too long of an explanation and we don't have time for it write now. Tomorrow when this is all over we'll talk about it I promise. Did you talk with your father yet?"

"...No...What is there to talk about, honestly? What can he tell me to help me forgive him?"

"Asami, he is your father. I can't defend what he did, but you should at least talk with him..."

"...Ok, I will try, but it's just so hard to look at him knowing what he did! How can I stand there and just have a civilized conversation with him now? Please tell me what I should do, give me some of that wisdom Tenzin keeps telling us about."

"Firstly, I'm offended, do you think I'm some sort of Guru? I can't solve every problem. Now for your question, who said anything about civilized conversation, you should go vent your anger, it's unhealthy to bottle it up, and it's good for him as well, sometimes the silent treatment can be worst than anything."

"Thank you! Tenzin wasn't lying when he told me you have the wisdom of a sage!"

"HA, HA, very funny, now seriously, can you gather the gang in conference room 2 in about fifteen minutes."

"Sure, do I call Tenzin as well?"

"Yes, why not. I'll go look for Lin as well."

I went around looking for Beifong, it took quite a few minutes to find her since the station was buzzing.

"Hey, can I take a moment of your time?"

"I got two minutes for you kid, you better be fast."

"Do you have the gloves that you confiscate here?"

"Yes, there are in storage, do you have something in mind?"

"I want to try to make something from them, if I manage to do it it might give us an extra edge if the Equalists come knocking tonight."

"Ok, come with. I'll take you there... Do you think they will attack tonight?"

"I'm sure they will, it's only when exactly and how they will attack that bothers me."

I went downstairs with her and took a look at what stuff the police confiscated, and I got to say, it was like I just entered the candy store. The amount of rare and useful stuff was something out of this world! I was so amazed that I started to think out loud.

"If I knew that the police station had this much nice stuff I would have robbed this place long ago."

"What did you say?"

"Help me take those boxes, upstairs."

With Lin's help, I took most of the stuff I need from there and bought it upstairs. When we arrived everybody was there.

"Guys I need your help, the Equalists are going to attack tonight and we will need all the help we can get, can I count on you?"

"Sure, what do you need us to do?"

"I need your help in making an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse, it's used for shortcircuiting electrical devices?"

"Say what now?"

"It will make the Equalists gloves useless if we manage to activate it."

"That's amazing why didn't you do it sooner? We could have beat them a long time now if we had this."

"It's not going to last long, after a few uses, Hiroshi would have figured out a way to combat it. I wanted to keep this as a trump card in case we would ever be in a tight spot. Now listen, we don't have time to argue, I don't have my full equipment here so I'll have to improvise. I'll make the designs on paper, Nya, Asami, and I are going to do the inner parts, you just need to assemble them together."

So we started to make our hidden weapon for the Equalists, the progress was slow at first since it was the first time making those kinds of bombs. I decided to show them a design for making a small-scale one, since we didn't have the components to build one big enough to affect all of them, I concluded that mobility was better than range. In the end, we made twenty-four, enough to turn the tide of battle in our favor.
