Sorry for doing this to ya, but...

K/G/N - Kai's Girlfriend's Name
C/G/N - Cole's Girlfriend's Name
Z/G/N - Zane's GF's Name
L/G/N - Lloyd's GF's Name

I had been home for several days since I was rescued by Jay in that strange warehouse with a man who wanted me dead as a trap to lure in the ninja. I actually tried to think as little about that as I could because it reminded me that my life would forever be different. I had a gift, an element. I hadn't really looked into it at all and tried to keep my head down and invested in my schoolwork and inventions, but no matter how hard I tried there was a looming feeling surrounding me that I just had to look into.

I couldn't ask my parents.

They have been on a business trip for a week, leaving the day before I was kidnapped and still not returning. I actually haven't even mentioned my ordeal to them because they wouldn't understand anything and somehow it would be pinned onto me as if I had somehow caused my own downfall. I knew they loved me, but some things are better kept secret.

Jay had stayed with me for a few days at my house but left last night after installing a security camera at the front door and sprucing up my home security system. I felt safe and I felt fine, but there was so much to learn and adjust to.

I needed to know what these powers were.

After asking Jay to let it go, he hadn't bothered me about my powers again. He just kept making small remarks like "I can't imagine not having powers" and "my element truly is a gift and Sensei trained me incredibly well." I never commented on them, but I called him last night and asked him if I could talk to Sensei and he was overjoyed.

So today, I stood in front of the monastery door debating my options and if I should knock or leave silently and just go back to my lonely house.

I was being stupid. I needed answers on how I got these powers and what to do with them. Did I want to train and eventually use my powers? Not particularly. But I knew Jay would feel better knowing I could protect myself. All the ninja taught their girlfriends basic protection skills. I trained for about two weeks and could take master the training course, without flipping like the ninja insanely do, but could not take down a ninja. And I didn't plan on ever having to take down a ninja in the future so I think that's alright. I didn't like working out every single day. Mad respect for people that do.

I sucked in a breath and stared at the door, finally deciding to open the door and step inside. There was no one in sight, which was strange for a well weathered afternoon, but as soon as I stepped three steps in, Lloyd slid out from the hallway in socks, black gym shorts, and a green t-shirt. He stood ten feet away from me and cocked his head to the side, "Oh, it's you," he simply stated while shouting "False alarm!" as loud as possible down the hallway.

I rose an eyebrow and placed my hands on my hips, "You really planned on taking me down if I was an intruder in socks? You have too much confidence in your abilities, Mr. Green Ninja who is all powerful and feared throughout Ninjago."

Lloyd huffed, "You really just waltz into my home and insult my skills. You're not my favorite of my brother's girlfriends," he honestly told me as I walked past him and towards the game room. I grinned, "Who is your favorite?"

Lloyd stayed silent and walked by my side as I neared the game room, "Does Jay know you're coming today? He never mentioned it, and he usually gets excited when you're coming over." I shrugged, "I don't know. I mentioned it and that's usually how far our plans go."

Lloyd chuckled and pushed open the door as I walked inside, seeing all the ninja leaning forward and investing deeply into the game at hand. I now realized that they had elected Lloyd to go see what the potential threat was when I walked in unannounced and continued their game. So much for them being the green ninja's protectors.

Jay looked up and smiled wide, pausing the game which caused the others to groan. "I didn't know you were coming now! I would have picked you up!" Jay smiled, standing up to softly kiss me and pull me over to sit next to him on the couch to which I curled into his side. "Yeah, but then you would have to take me home and it's just easier for me to take my scooter," I shrugged, not minding the scenic drive. "Just make sure one of us walks you down to your scooter and sees you off, alright?" he asked, and I nodded in response, "Of course, Jay."

"How's it hanging, Y/N?" Cole asked, leaning against the cushions with his phone screen lit up to text messages with his girlfriend. I smiled, "Pretty good, got some work done today and decided it would be a nice day to come see how you guys were all doing. No training, I see."

Kai laughed, "We had sunrise training this morning so Sensei let us have the day off. I think C/G/N is coming for dinner anyway so we had to clean up." I smiled, loving how the ninja all had close relationships with the other girls, caring for them like sisters. Well, except Lloyd to me, there was some sarcastic tension there.

"Lloyd scare you when he jumped out?" Jay wondered, pinching my side lightly to which I squirmed lightly before scoffing at his question. "Him? Really?" I asked, motioning to the boy still in nearly knee high socks. Lloyd's mouth dropped open at my statement as if he were shocked by it. Kai snickered to himself. "I am the green ninja," the blonde boy sneered at me. I rolled my eyes, "I'm not questioning your skill level over here because I can barely do a cartwheel," I began, earning a laugh from Jay. "But, you slid out like the entrance to 'Old Time Rock and Roll' by Bob Seger with those socks on and did not look menacing in the slightest. Even I, with my poor attempt at a cartwheel, could defeat that!"

Everyone laughed at my joke and I smiled, cuddling closer to Jay who kissed me lightly on the head. Lloyd's face reddened in embarrassment. I softly smiled, my darker thoughts consuming me again and my stress building. "Don't worry, Lloyd. I know I'm not your favorite of the girlfriends and that's fine with me. I'll happily give that title to someone else."

Lloyd rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't you guys hang out at your house sometimes. Kai and his girlfriend do," he said while gesturing to Jay and I. Jay narrowed his eyes at his friend, "Be nice to my girlfriend. You know why she's always here," he warned, feeling very protective of me and my not so great home life and relationship with my parents. I tugged his sweatshirt to show I was fine and he only glanced down at me. "C/G/N is always here, too, Lloyd. Check those statistics."

He shrugged, "They're usually in his room or outside so I don't see them all that much. And okay fine, but Z/G/N isn't always here either. Her and Zane hang out at home."

I pursed my lips, "Z/G/N has a good relationship with her mother and a welcoming home. Have you been to mine?" I asked jokingly, Kai and Cole smirking at my response. Jay didn't feel that great about my response and continuing tugging me closer to him, feeling bad I was talking about things I wasn't proud of. He seemed mad that Lloyd was bringing it up but I didn't mind, we were just fooling around. "But it seems like your favorite is either K/G/N or Z/G/N... based on the facts, of course," I added.

Kai grew interested and Zane simply smiled. "Wait, favorite of what? What's happening right now?" Cole asked in confusion. "I think she's trying to figure out who Lloyd's favorite is of our girlfriends. And C/G/N didn't make the cut," Jay honestly said with a slight smile. Cole huffed and then grinned, "Well, that's alright because I know who were favorite ninja is, after me of course, and Lloyd didn't make the cut either. Not even top two. So I guess it evens out," he said before standing up and walking out of the room to grab a water, which he announced from the hallway.

"If you must know, my favorite is Z/G/N because she is the most umproblematic person I have ever met in my life and is very caring."

Kai groaned and threw his head back on the cushions, "You're just cranky that L/G/N is at her dad's this weekend and you're lonely and have got the blues."

Cole entered the room and smirked at the mention of Lloyd missing his sister - his pride and joy. Cole loved his sister so much and would do anything for her, which he did when he invited her to live with him to ease the stress of her divided home life and he changed his entire life around for her. "Please," Lloyd scoffed, "I'm used to her being gone on the weekends. I literally live with my girlfriend and see her five days a week. I'm pretty great," he boasted, to which Cole responded by chucking a pillow at him hard. Lloyd glared at the black ninja and held the pillow in his hands. "Plus I'm going over to her dad's after dinner with C/G/N. What are you doing with your girlfriend, Kai?"

Kai smiled at the thought of his K/G/N. "She's spending time with her grandmother today. She also just left the monastery days ago and needs her me time, so I'm not trying to be overbearing."

"Like a gentleman," I added, tossing in an annoyed glance at Lloyd. "So we know who your favorite is besides Jay," Lloyd grinned. I snorted, "I don't play that game. Just know that you're my least favorite and everyone else I love like a brother."

Lloyd laughed and Jay smiled after hearing that I felt like the others were like brothers to me and that Lloyd and I were able to joke around without things getting serious. "Sure, Kai's the gentleman after leaving his girlfriend alone after what she went through and - "

"Lloyd," Jay snapped, hearing enough of the conversation and watching my face fall to a frown. The thoughts returned. I saw the footsteps under the door. I felt the cold wrench in my hand. I heard the screaming siren. I felt the warm yellow ball in my fingers before it launched into the man in front of me. The man I didn't know. The man who wanted me dead.

Everyone was silent. No one said a thing. Lloyd's face fell, too, and I could tell he felt extremely sorry for what he said. He forgot K/G/N and I went through similar ordeals. He forgot we had nightmares. It wasn't his fault.

The thoughts continued to flood my mind but I felt a warm feeling in my hands and when I looked at my lap, I saw a golden ball of something in my hand. I gasped and my eyes widened and I stood abruptly, trying to dust off my hands and get rid of whatever was in them but it was no use. "Jay get it off," I panicked, trying to wipe my hands vigorously together. The other ninja stood and backed away, Jay by my side but not knowing what to do. "Jay get it off!" I screamed, becoming fearful and a tear threatening to slip out of the corner of my eye. "Calm down," Cole advised, a hand reaching out to try and steady me. I shook my head and tried to shake my hands, fear building up inside of me and everything I was ever scared of screaming to get out. Please get it off of me! I don't want this!"

Zane tried to calm me down but nothing was working. Lloyd ran out of the room, Sensei's name leaving his lips, but I continued to shake and wipe my hands together with tears now falling down my cheeks. "Y/N, you have to calm down!" Jay shouted, also scared to come close to me.

I shook my head and sobbed lightly, needing whatever was happening to end already so I could go back home and curl into a ball under my blankets. "Make it stop, Jay! Please!"

I saw Sensei appear in the doorway, but before he could say anything, Jay grabbed my hands and covered them with his own, taking whatever was in my hands into him. I pinched my eyes closed and clenched as hard as I could onto his hands and he stayed silent, waiting for the yellow to disappear.

"It's over," Jay's voice softly said, like a whisper in my ear. I carefully opened my eyes, staring at Jay's hands wrapped in mine. He slowly let go and I brought my hands up, staring at them in fear and curiosity. "What happened, Sensei?" Jay asked, looking to the man behind me who still stood in the doorway. I slowly turned around, seeing all the ninja staring at both Sensei and I interchangeably. But I scooted closer to Jay and he wrapped an arm around my waist protectively. "You are the granddaughter to the Master of Light who fought bravely in the Serpentine Wars years ago. You possess a great ability, and you must learn to control it."

My bottom lip quivered and I studied my hands again. "W-What if I don't want to? I-I didn't ask for this, Sensei Wu. I don't need these powers. What if something like that happens again and Jay isn't here to calm me down and - "

"No one in this room will ask you to use your powers if you do not feel comfortable, and you are under no obligation to use them as the ninja do, but for the safety of Ninjago, you must learn to control them."

And that was how my day went.

I actually had a lot of fun writing this chapter instead of getting the sleep I needed for work in the morning but whatever. I wanted to show Y/N's playful relationship with the other ninja and show that the others are close with all the girlfriends'. I also wanted to build Y/N's character in the Jay chapters specifically because she does have an elemental power, something that will likely not be carried on with the other girlfriends. There was a lot of character development in this chapter so I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know by voting and commenting! Cole's next!
