Where does Korra go?

The Streets

Korra sulked into a dark alley, clutching her body with her arms. Republic City was still bustling at night, satomobiles shining their headlights to illuminate the road, show windows crowded by passersby, and vendors peddling whatever they could to civilians. It all made for a less than desirable obstacle course for Korra to navigate undetected. She ducked and weaved just out of sight between cars, taking care not to get caught in the headlights. She took a similar pathway from alley to alley, slowly but surely making her way to the dock.

Eventually, she hit an impasse: the road became a plaza, an open circle of markets and cars. No more alleys to duck into. The alley she currently occupied led to nothing but a dead end, and a shadowy figure slowly approaching her. If she wanted to get away, she'd have to let go of her shame and make a run for it.

Before she could come to a decision, she felt a hand in her shoulder. "Korra, what are you doing?" She turned to find her ex boyfriend Mako, dressed fully in police garb. Her face turned beet red, she backed away from him only to bump her ass into another police officer. She was surrounded.
