{Authors note: For Amon's female voice, imagine Jennifer Hale.}
A slim, curvy, but tall and imposing hooded figure with a porcelain mask with a full red moon on the forehead. She walked down the row of kneeling gangters before her until she came to Bolin at the end. He was so full of terror that it felt as if Koh The Face Stealer was right in front of him, looking to add to his collection.
And his terror only increased when she crouched down to get a better look at him. Those shadowed eyes felt like they were looking into his very soul, judging him for his final destination. She reached out a hand and Bolin saw his life flash before his eyes, he then closed them shut, waiting for the end, hoping it was quick and painless.
Only to feel his cloth gag be removed with surprising gentleness.
"Why are you here?" asked a deep, but very feminine voice.
Bolin opened his eyes to see Amon holding the gag and staring at him with what seemed to be simple curiosity.
"Uhhh.." was all he could responded with, too amazed with the fact that he was still alive.
"Ma'am." A mustached Equalist spoke up "We found him in the Triple Threat headquarters and-"
"I was speaking to him lieutenant." Amon cut him off calmly. "I want him, to answer."
Bolin realized that maybe he had a chance to get out of the mess, so he took in a deep breath an explained as calmly as he could.
"I'm not with The Triple Threats by choice! They had dirt on me and my brother, if I didn't work with them Shady Shen was going to destroy our chances at making an honest living! I mean sure we did some work for them back in the day, but it wasn't anything too bad I swear! I helped load cargo and Mako ran numbers, that's all! Well okay we also helped with clean up after deals didn't end well, but that's really it, I promise! We were kids off the street, our parents were killed when we little and we had nowhere else to turn and..and..*sob*"
Bolin was sure that it didn't matter what he said, with no proof their is no way the would ever believe him. And he doubted that the water works would sway them, even though the tears were genuine. One way or another, his life was over.
Or at least that's what he thought before he felt Amon gently cup his to raise his face and look her in the eye. He could faintly make out what seem to be light blue eyes full of empathy and he felt his tears being softly wiped away with her thumb.
She then stood up and back the row of captives until she found Shady Shen. She the search his person until she found the photo that had Bolin on a leach.
"He is telling the truth. Let him go." she ordered.
"But ma'am he's-"
"An innocent strong armed into a gang war he wanted nothing to do with by scum he left behind in pursuit of an honest life." she finished for him.
She then walked toward her lieutenant to make sure he heard her clearly. "Need I remind you lieutenant that my mission, your mission, our mission, is to bring justice and equality to all. Bender and Non-Bender alike. You would do well to remember that. Am I understood?"
The lieutenant folded before his leaders gaze and bowed in remorse "Perfectly ma'am, forgive me."
"You are forgiven, but do not make me remind you again." she calmly warned as she walked back to Bolin.
As she helped him to his feet and freed him from his bounds she said "You are an honest soul Bolin. And from what I've seen in The Pro-Bending arena a skilled and honorable fighter. I am honestly a bit a fan of yours."
"Really?" he asked in astonishment as he rubbed his now freed writs.
"Despite what rumors may say, I am human and I have a life outside of my work." she said with a slightly cheeky tone.
Bolin chucked a little at how surreal this all was, he never would have imagined that Amon had a sense of humor.
"Now, I'm sure your brother is worried about you and you are eager to get home, but I must warn you that the streets are dangerous at this time of night, especially at this part of the city." she informed the young man "But I will not force you to stay if you wish to leave. So, do you wish to leave or would like to come with me to my quarters to rest for the night? I give you my word that I will escort you home first thing in the morning."
Bolin was really taken aback by her generous offer, but he had to admit, taking sometime to get to know the mysterious Amon a little was very tempting. But he also knew that Mako and Korra were no doubt worried sick about him. So after a minute of thinking it over he decide to..
