Lloyd headcanon time!

In oni culture it’s tradition to make a tiny like nic in your horns after you get a kill in battle or you just kill something the more nic’s the more deadly the oni (which is prized). Lloyd especially after Harumi and the Oni trilogy finds out about it and every person he fails to save  he carves out a chunk of horn (not a tiny chunk enough to take a second and to HURT) just remind himself to do better. Because of this his horns just continuously look like shit cause he won’t take care of them out of guilt, plus they’re massive like, bigger than omegas cause he’s a hybrid and dragons have bigger horns. And by look like shit I mean holes like fucking Swiss cheese are missing, and I imagine hybrid horns (like Lloyd’s) have like a marbled (think of vengestone) color/pattern and the color looks dull when the horns should be shiny especially where the gold is but nope it’s all dull and kinda hard to tell where the difference between the gold and black is.

Wildfire one night after a tough mission sees this. Friendly reminder she knows nothing about the first master or his lineage being hybrids, so she’s really confused how he grew horns until she looks closer. Lloyd looks up in surprise, dropping the file, when he’s tackled by a body and just sees a blur of red. He freaks out thinking it’s Kai, but nope it’s the only other person who understands how to care for horns and he’s frozen. He knows he’s going to be in trouble cause she’s going to have to tell out of worry for her master but right now that doesn’t matter, cause she’s speaking dragon at the moment holding him like he’ll die and growling out “WHY” in the little roar she does whenever she speaks her first tongue. He freezes she knows he understands her now, it’s a language (one of two) hard wired into his brain that he instinctively understands. “I don’t know” he rumbles back trying not to cry. She simply pushes the file out of the bed, closes the door, and cuddles back up with him. The monastery in the morning is panicking Lloyd (who’s normally up the earliest) is no where to be found, Wildfyre is missing, and Kai looks like he’s about to panic cause he’s missing two out of the three favorite people in his life. Finally he opens the door to Lloyd’s room and sees his horns and the file, and Wildfyre curled up on him like a cat. He understands everything that happened the night before and simply sighs slightly before crawling in with the two and texting the group chat that he found them, and they need to watch Lloyd again cause his horns are looking really bad. It suddenly becomes common after this to see Wildfyre sit or stand behind Lloyd if he’s sitting on the ground or a chair so she can reach his horns and polish them, apply oils, trim, or even sharpen them. After she teaches Kai and the other original 5 (when Jay comes back he’s apprehensive at first he hurt him, his friend, his brother, hell his first student, but quickly comes around) it becomes common team building, Lloyd’s had a bad day? Convince him to go other form (this comes MUCH later down the line) and you can help with the scales, horns, or wings. Or if the team just wants something therapeutic they start doing this with him. Everything just works out in the end. First headcanon I’ve ever posted! I’ve got a Harumi one too if anyone wants to hear that one! Questions can be answered and are appreciated! See you on the next one!

✧ taglist // @spoopy-fish-writes // @spoops-inliyue ;; @decaffeinatedcloudkryptonite // @shaantiofher ;; @sunangelstears

no. no.

there's thick tears falling, sliding down his cheeks and falling onto your bloodied gi, the material torn, caked with dust and shards of glass dug into the grey material. it wasn't as grey as before, as grey as it was that morning when you were preparing with him.

alive.

the green ninja clung onto your dying body, his leg under both of yours while the other he sat on. his arms tight around your aching form, keeping his love, his life close to him. he felt your pulse fading, the warmth of his sun on his cold days leaving him alone. it was slow, much slower than when he first gathered you in his arms.

"please.. please stay with– me," he cried, sobs wrecking through the rubble and aftermath from garmadon's latest attempt at overthrowing ninjago. he sniffled hard before he pulled away just enough for you to see him through the confines of his dark and green coloured mask. a cough wreaks through your body, causing you to jolt and choke on blood seeping from your lungs, the ninja is quick to ground you when life tries to slip from your grasp. "uh- hey, hey, you're fine.. you're good, i'm— i'm he- here." the green ninja looks miserable even behind that mask.

"my mask–" you tried to sound out, you felt parched and weak, grateful he managed to figure it out quick enough to pull your mask away as gently as he could. a small, pained smile was all you could manage in the midst of recovering from that bloody cough. the boy wiped the tears from your eyes with his thumb, while his own clouded his eyes. "ma and pops must be cryin', yk..?" you pondered, eyes focused on him solely.

you raised a sore hand to his cheek, thumb sliding just under his mask. "o..kay?" you mumbled softly, waiting for his reply with eyes battling to stay open. "yes." he closed his own for a moment, his answer quick and free of any hesitancy. the material of the gi's mask felt nice against your hand, sliding off gently with his help and letting it fall behind him with a soft thud.

you hold his cheek, thanking lloyd mentally for holding it up for you. it hurt. it hurt so much seeing him so wrecked over you.

he deserved so much better, someone that would stay with him, that would treat him better than you are right now. you didn't want to go out without him, you never wanted to.

"lloyd," you called to him, the boy looking at you with tired, red eyes. "sorry baby."

"i forgive you. i will always forgive you," he says through deep breaths, gasping from holding it unconsciously. you smile fondly at that, his willingness to do anything for you. your heart twisted uncomfortably in your chest.

"love– love you, lloyd," you say, each word leaving you slowly and with a soft voice. your hand dropped slightly, but he tightened his grip on it. "i love you so much." your thumb rubs his cheek slowly. "i love– you too, [name]," he manages to get it out, through his tears.

this was hard to stay awake, alive. your heartbeat was too slow and your vision zoned and blacked out more than once. you both knew it was time for you to go, it was time you rest. "m– may i steal your breath away.. one more last time, love?" he half laughs while you processed it slowly. "you do, baby. all the time," you laugh softly before trying hard to focus on him one last time. he smiles, seeing you're still joking around while on your deathbed.

he lays your hand down on your chest, taking his and rubbing the blood from your lips. he smiles one last time. lloyd leans down, holding your cheek tenderly before whispering promises of meeting you again one day against your lips. you smile, your hand holding weakly at his gi while savouring the moments of your life with him.

it was warm, overwhelming almost when he finally kissed you. a gentle warmth signature to him, almost like an open oven after baking. fuck, you'll miss that. you'll miss the messes of flour and smelling of sugar while he kissed with frosting on his lips. like it was now, had he always been so sweet?

you closed your eyes, losing consciousness and feeling. his warmth was faint, until it was nothing.

lloyd buried his head in your shoulder the second your weight laid a little heavier against his arm and your hand dropped from holding his gi. he cried, harder. harder than before, arms squeezing your body.

it didn't matter that there people were watching, it didn't matter that garmadon and his army was still here and watching. it didn't matter that the other ninja were watching, it didn't matter whether his mother was watching nor yours front row at seeing their kid die in the arms of ninjago's most hated.

reality settled in, he didn't want it to.

"lloyd," kai's voice tugs him back from the unforgiving confines his mind. the red ninja's mask long gone, he had his own tears welling in his eyes with small, faint streaks on his cheeks. he pulled lloyd and your body into a tight embrace, his head on lloyd's as he quietly pats his hair, humming lowly. he knew the kid needed someone to ground him and kai wad going to play his role as lloyd's 'older brother', even if it meant he had to mourn his kid sibling's death later.

with soft sniffles and a spaced out face, lloyd notices everyone for the first time while in kai's embrace.

jay held nya while sunk down against his mech, she was still processing the fact you had died, though she had her arms around his waist. whereas jay held onto her as tight as he could with sobs lightly muffled by his mask and her hair. cole sat against kai's mech with his knees up, burying his face in his arms wrapped around them. he occasionally shook from his own tears, he was trying to cope with the loss of his kid 'sibling'. it felt strange seeing him cry. zane sat in his mech, in awe. his face looked genuinely shocked, trying to compute the lost of a friend but he was still affected by it all. hands fiddled lightly with the controls of his mech.

sensei wu stood somewhere in the distance, amongst the people crowded on the less debris covered land. lloyd couldn't figure out what the man felt, from the obscuring of his hat.

but the most interesting was the look on garmadon's face, he wanted to laugh. he knew the rest of his army (and even the citizens of ninjago) were tense from the sudden reveal of their ninja's identity and the fact they actually killed someone. let alone a ninja. but garmadon looked almost horrified at his son.

his son.. he killed his son's lover. it was a surprise his enemy was luh-loyd and from the other of those rainbow coloured ninjas, the boy happened to be dating one of them, the one he actually killed. he felt somewhat guilty of what he did.

lloyd looked away, closing his eyes and laying his head back into kai's chest. "i fucking hate him," the boy mumbled out into his brother's gi. "me too, kid."

he wished it was him instead, because he always wanted the best for you. you deserved it. you deserved more that him, a crappy teenager, garmadon's shitty son. not a strong leader nor a good kid.

he just wished he could be with you again.

kazukazuhas copr. 2023 darling

New fic!! Please heed the tags and warnings, this gets heavy lmao.

[m00nl1ght-sun25]

Why are y’all so upset with lloyd in crystallized and how he treats garmadon and harumi? it makes sense-

!! ninjago season 8/sons of garmadon, season 16/crystallized spoilers !!

also btw this is not a ship with lloyd and harumi- it’s toxic and i don’t ship it.

ok so, i’ve seen a lot of hate towards lloyd in the season crystallized- and it doesn’t entirely make sense. I think that he actions and the way he dealt with everything made perfect sense for lloyd’s character and who he is and all. 

Because in crystallized you see lloyd like wanting to be with harumi, wanting to like make it good and just all of that. But yet with garmadon, he keeps yelling and him, and just overall acting very mad and upset with his father.

But it is understandable for lloyd to act this way. 

So with Harumi, it’s called that is literally the example of a toxic relationship. Because lloyd wants to see the best in harumi, he’s trying to make them both believe that she can be good. Because what he wants is that harumi who was fake, the harumi who pretended to love him, who cared for others, who was nice. He just simply thinks that harumi doesn’t want this, which she doesn’t entirely want, so he is correct- but still, there’s that part of harumi that does want this. But lloyd doesn’t want to believe it, he just wants the “old” harumi back. 

Then with garmadon… i’m sorry but i don’t understand why you all think he should trust garmadon again. While yes, i said it makes sense for harumi. But that’s a toxic relationship. This is his father. Lloyd loved his father, when he was a kid he strived to be like him. After though, learning that lloyd was to be the green ninja. Garmadon left. From lloyd’s perspective he keeps seeing garmadon leave him, time and time again. In that episode in season 8/sons of garmadon, when lloyd went to fight him. He thought he could get his father back. But this garmadon hurt lloyd, remember how garmadon literally said to lloyd ““I have no son” then threw him though a wall then almost killed lloyd’s friends? Yea. That affects someone. I would hate my father too if he did that to me too. The later, time and time again, garmadon shows no care for lloyd. Unlike harumi, who manipulates lloyd into him thinking she loves him. With garmadon, he doesn’t show that love and care to lloyd. He shows hated and disappointment to lloyd.

So basically, in short. Lloyd tries to give harumi a second chance because he wants her to love him again, and she has literally manipulated lloyd into feeling things and just used him. Causing lloyd to act like this. Showing that they have a toxic relationship.

With Garmadon. Lloyd has tried to give garmadon a chance but is always hurt in the end. In crystallized, lloyd is simply done with doing that. His father hurt him, and lloyd can’t forgive him anymore. 

also im dyslexic so if i mess anything up pls don’t be mean abt it :’)

[lloyds1fan]

-So here is an AU that I've been planning on making for months now and finally got around to making it, so here is my AU.

In my au Lloyd's oni powers are more easily accessed and he looks more oni like. He has a long thin dark tail (black with green spots at the tip) and he has pointed ears along with fangs. He has nightmares every now and then that are very vivid and realistic (the other ninja also get nightmares but not as often and they aren't as vivid). He also is more prone to to panic attacks along with being a bit more of a shy person.

Kai is also even more of a big brother to Lloyd in this au (because I live for their brother bonding). Lloyd usually likes to hide his tail when he's not in the monastery. In this au Lloyd's senses are heightened due to him being part oni and part dragon (the dragon part is where I got the tail idea from so don't attack me asking why he has a tail if oni dont have tails), his sense of smell, hearing, taste, ect. are just in general stronger than the normal persons.

If he gets angry or irritated for long periods of time his hands and feet might start turning black (due to his oni powers). It'll spread from his finger tips and toe tips up to his wrists and ankles. If he calms down enough the spreading will stop and dissapear.

Lloyd will hide his injuries from the others because he doesn't want them to worry about him and he doesn't want them to think he's weak, because of this the other ninja decided that they all have to be checked up on after missions by either zane or pixal (because they know the most about medical stuff). Zane and, sometimes pixal (depending on wether or not she went on the mission with them will get checked up on by either nya or zane (cuz they are good with tech stuff)

Lloyd in this au balanced being a ninja and online school ever since the "Tea Incident" (when lloyd got aged up cuz of mistakés funky tea). The other ninja did online school also but they finished it before lloyd cuz they are older and started before they met Lloyd (zane didn't do online school cuz he's a nindroid). Master wu was the one who forced them to do online school cuz education is needed and stuff.

Master wu also has Lloyd birth certificate (cuz misako kept on losing it in her large paper collection of history stuff). Master Wu also become one of Lloyd legal gaurdians (misako agreed to this) so that Wu could make decisions for him if he ever ended up in the hospital for some reason and they couldn't get ahold of misako.

-okay so that's my au I've created. It's took a while to gather all the details and I literally had all this on paper before typing it so I didn't forget all the details and stuff. Should I make fanfics and stuff off of this and if so what should I write about? Btw I love angst and then fluff in story's/fanfics (preferably Lloyd angst and fluff cuz he's my favorite character). Let me know what you think about this ninjago au and if I should write a fanfic on it.

*sniff* fuck you Harumi! You fucking narcissistic bitch! *sniff*

My friend recently watched DotD, which led me to discovering this totally not heartbreaking parallel

[portrait-of-a-moron]

“Maybe I could’ve protected you in another lifetime.”

I’m sorry for the repost I forgot an entire layer that changed little Lloyd’s face 😭🥲

[sali0512]

oh yeah! these are my favorite frames that i drew for my last tiktok video, maybe someone saw these arts on pinterest because some dude stole it from my insta🗿🗿🫡

[rgb-9x]

stop i just know that this is lloyd’s fault..

lloyd what are you doing💀

[lloydsvisions]

bro’s getting locked up for life ?!?!

free bro

[cable-salamdr]

Tw Blood, injury, bright colors (? Kinda. Better safe than sorry ig)

It has come to my attention that not everyone has this as their headcanon so I am here to spread propaganda through my wonderful art: Kai getting his scar in the first fight with Morro in season 5 (and consequentially being a constant reminder of that time to Lloyd).

(Also There’s no actual blood on Kai in that second one. It’s simply Lloyd’s imagination.)

Lloyd having a lil mental breakdown + and older rendition of this idea down below

I drew those latter ones back in like December of last year/ this January when I came up with this idea, I might redraw it tho because i don’t particularly like how it looks now, but the idea’s still the same :]]]

[sun-splotches]

NINJAGO ART DUMP

[miksterrr]

Sincerly, your only child. (Part Two)

who knew that having a teacher force you to talk to the school psychologist is a great writing motivator?

anyways this is a part two of a ninjago fanfic.

Part One || ao3

about 3k words btw

-

TW: Strong language (a bunch of f-bombs and more) Talk about not getting a childhood, mentions of abuse, small refernce (bleaching hair as punishment), talking about abandonment, mommy issues, letting down, references towards child negilence. Extreme misako bashing. (I think that's it- uh please let me know if there's anything else! also prolly cringey and a bunch of dialogue so)

The moment Lloyd closed the door, he broke down into sobs, running to go find someone- anyone, for some comfort. 

His legs took him to the kitchen, where he found Zane, cookbook open on the counter, and him reading through it dutifully. Lloyd blinked away a few tears before running in and crashing into Zane, smothering his face into the Nindroid’s stomach. Zane let out a little, ‘oomph,’ at the sudden weight, but didn’t hesitate to wrap his arms around Lloyd.

Over the past year, the ninja have learned that Lloyd is very touch-starved. Although they were deeply saddened by the news, none of them could claim to be surprised. So, they never question when Lloyd would hug them out of nowhere. At least, they wouldn’t if the Green Bean wasn’t full on sobbing. 

Zane’s brows furrowed, taking in Lloyd’s trembling body and the growing wetness on his chest. “Lloyd? What’s wrong?” Zane rubbed the kid’s back. Lloyd only mumbled something into Zane’s chest, inaudible. Zane sighed, but didn’t push. He continued to rub Lloyd’s back, and started to rock him.

“Woah- What’s wrong with the kid?”

Zane glanced up, watching Jay enter the kitchen. Zane shrugged, “Not sure.” He frowned. “He just walked in and hugged me.” 

Jay pulled a confused face, walking up to the pair. He ran a lightning scarred hand through Lloyd’s hair. Lloyd whimpered, trying to get closer to Zane. The older two gave each other a wide-eyed look. “Kiddo? Lloyd? What’s wrong?” Jay asked, scratching the boy’s scalp.

Lloyd gulped, trying to quiet his sobs. He sniffed, pulling away from Zane. He roughly wiped his face, trying to get rid of the tears. Zane tilted his head, putting a hand on Lloyd’s cheek, causing Lloyd to stare up at him. Zane gave him a sad smile, brushing away some tears. “Lloyd, sweetie, do you need help? Or are you just sad, and need some comfort?” 

Lloyd sniffed, leaning into Zane’s hand. “I… y-yelled at mo- Misako.”

Zane and Jay’s eyebrows jumped up. It’s not often that Lloyd yells, especially not at Misako. All the Ninja have grievances with Misako, it was hard not too. But they’ve restrained from yelling at her, in fear she’ll never return. But, passive aggressive comments weren't out of the question. The elder two shared a look over Lloyd’s head. Jay bit his lip. “Why’d you do that, L?”

��I told her she wasn’t my mother.”

Their eyes widened. Jay mouthed a slur of curse words, scarred hands running through auburn hair. “Oh.” Zane hummed. His brows furrowed, ice-blue eyes scanning Lloyd. “Can you tell us why, love?” 

Lloyd rolled his eyes, shrugging. “I mean, she isn’t.” Lloyd shook his head, red eyes glancing everywhere but the two elders. “She didn’t raise me, she doesn’t come back for me. She only comes back for Uncle Wu.” Lloyd huffed. “She doesn’t even fucking know my birthday. She doesn’t deserve that title.” 

Jay and Zane shared another look. Jay let out a low laugh, hands balled, crackling with electricity. Zane let out a breath through his nose, chewing on his lip. “She doesn’t know your birthday?” He asked, trying his best to keep his voice even. Zane pulled his hand away from Lloyd, wringing his own hands together.

Lloyd gave a wet laugh. “I don’t even have a birth certificate!” Lloyd rubbed a hand down his face. “I don’t exist.” He sniffed.

Zane took a deep breath, giving a side eye to Jay, a warning. He tugged Lloyd back into his arms. “It’s okay, hon. We’ll get you a birth certificate!” Zane let out a small laugh. He pulled away from Lloyd again, but kept his hands on the smaller boy’s shoulders. Zane bent down to look Lloyd in the eye. “You exist.” Zane smiled, brushing back some of the blond’s hair. “I promise.”

Lloyd smiled back, eyes watering. He was fast to wipe them away. “Yeah Lloyd!” Jay tried, a half smile appeared on his face. “You definitely exist, I mean, I’m looking at you, kid.” Jay rubbed his hands together. “We’ll make you a birthday!” Jay grinned, his crooked teeth on full display. “You can take one of those ‘what’s my zodiac signs test,’ and that’ll determine your birth month, and then just pick your favourite number!”

Lloyd giggled, staring up at Jay. “That sounds fun.”

“Yeah?” Jay grinned back.

“Jaaayyyy- what’s taking you so long?” Kai groaned, walking into the kitchen. The brunet paused, finally taking in the scene before him. Jay’s hair was standing on end, his fingers were twitching every few seconds, a small electric current passing between them. Lloyd had dried tear marks on his face, his eyes noticeably puffy, and he was as close to Zane as he could be, without fully being in the ice user’s arms. Speaking of such, the room was noticeably a few degrees cooler than the hallway, despite the oven being on. “What happened?” Kai asked, hot anger crawling up his neck.  The three glanced at each other. Kai raised a brow, “Well?” 

Lloyd chewed his lip. Jay wrapped his arms around himself, studying the floor. Zane sighed, he glanced at Lloyd before looking back at Kai. “Misako doesn’t know Lloyd’s birthday.”

Kai’s eyes widened. “W-what?” He growled, amber eyes narrowing.

“Misako doesn’t know my birthday.” Lloyd remarked, he bit his tongue, slowly shaking his head. “She never filled out a birth certificate for me, she probably didn’t have me at a hospital.” Lloyd started to pick at his cuticles, but stared Kai in the eyes. “Legally, I don’t exist.”

Kai’s brows raised, he gave a short nod. “Okay.” Flames licked at his fists. He gave one last glance to his brothers, before turning on his heel, and walking down the hallway. 

“Wait- Kai-”

The three scrambled after the fire user, trying to stop him.

“Misako!” Kai called, a low laugh escaped him. Imprints of his feet were being burned into the ground of the bounty.

“Kai!” Lloyd yelled. He grabbed Kai by the wrist.

Kai ripped his wrist out of Lloyd’s hand. “What the fuck Lloyd?!” He whirled around to meet the smaller boy. “You could’ve burned your hand off! Bye-bye! Lloyd no longer has a left hand!” Despite his concern, Kai made no move to touch the younger boy, his hands still burning hot.

“I don’t get burned as easily as everyone else!” Lloyd retorted, raising his left hand. Kai glanced at his palm, there was maybe, maybe, a red tinge, if anything at all. Kai sighed, he rubbed his face.

“Okay.” Kai muttered. He closed eyes, taking a deep breath in, before opening them again. “Okay.” He repeated. He stared into Lloyd’s pleading ruby eyes. “Okay. Tell me what happened.”

Lloyd glanced back at Jay and Zane before looking back at Kai. “Short version?”

Kai ran a tan hand through his spiky hair. “Sure! Whatever’s faster.”

Lloyd rolled his eyes. “Misako’s back. I realized she only came back for Wu. I yelled, she yelled. I realized she’s hated me since I was born because she was fucking scared of me. Then I disowned her.”  

Kai swallowed, brows furrowed, he slowly nodded. “Okay.” 

“Okay?”

“What the fuck?” Nya was behind Kai. Greased smeared on her face, hair a frizzy mess. She was dressed in black leggings and a red tank top. There was a wrench in her hand.

“Nya-” Lloyd tried.

“Where is this motherfuckin’ bitch-”

“Nya!” Kai yelled.

Nya’s cyan eyes snapped to Kai. 

Kai gulped.

“You’re burning your fucking footprints into the floor Kai. You don’t get to talk.”

Kai sputtured. Jay and Zane shared a tired look. Lloyd was looking somewhere between angry and about to cry, again.

“Woah, party in here.” Cole snorted, coming in through the deck, broom in hand. He stopped, taking in everyone’s appearance. Zane and Jay have the same, ‘thank fuck your here Cole,’ and ‘get the fuck out of here, Cole.’ Lloyd was dressed in oversized clothing, making him look even smaller, and his eyes were puffy. Kai’s footprints were burned into the wood. Nya looked like she was the fire master, and not Kai. “What the fuck?” The ravenette sighed. 

“Misako gave Lloyd up because she was scared of him!” Nya was the one who spoke first, waving her wrench all around. 

“What the fuck.” Cole repeated. The bags under his mauve eyes seem even bigger. He pinched the bridge of his nose. He glanced down at Nya. “Give me the wrench.” 

“No!”

“Nya.”

“Cole.”

Cole raised a brow. “You’re not physically harming Misako.” 

Nya grumbled, “But-”

“Nya-” Cole sighs, holding out a hand.

“She deserves it!” 

“Nya.” 

Jay snorted. “Dad voice.” Jay whispered to Zane. Zane smirked. Cole’s gaze flickered to them, Jay squeaked. Zane raised a brow. Cole focused back on Nya.

Nya grumbled, handing the wrench to Cole. “Not fair.”

Cole rolled his eyes. “You’ll thank me later.” Nya quirked a brow. “Sensei won’t be mad at you.”

“Students.” 

Cole jumped, dropping the broom. He fell back in line with Nya, and turned around to face Wu and Misako. 

“Fuck.” Jay whispered. Zane pulled Lloyd behind him. Lloyd fisted Zane’s grey and blue cable knit sweater. Nya fell back to stand in front of the two, while Kai and Cole stayed in the front.

“Sensei.” Cole bowed. Kai glared at Misako. 

Wu gave a nod of acknowledgement to Cole. “Nephew.”

Lloyd stayed silent, his only movement were his fists tightening on Zane’s sweater. Jay moved slightly in front of Zane, almost trying to hide Lloyd even more. Cole glanced back at them, before turning to stare at Wu again. “What’s up Sensei Wu?”

“I believe I was talking to Lloyd, Cole.”

“I believe that Lloyd doesn’t want to talk to you.” Cole retorted. 

Wu raised a brow, he glanced at Misako. “Lloyd, I’d prefer if we sorted this out in private.”

“No need, Sensei.” Kai gave the old man a tight smile. “We already know what’s going on.”

Wu sighed. “Please. This is a family matter.”

Nya scoffed. “We are his family.”

Wu cringed. “Of course you are, but this is for blood family.”

“That’s fucking bogus.” Nya sneered.

“Language.” Wu reprimanded, he had a white knuckle grip on his staff. 

“Lloyd, sweetie-” Misako tried.

“Oh, don’t even try.” Nya laughed, her fists balled. She was eyeing the wrench that was still in Cole’s hand.

“Nya-” Wu tried again.

“Sensei, with all due respect, we don’t believe Lloyd speaking to Misako alone is in the best interest of his mental state.” Zane spoke up this time, he stared straight forward. 

Misako scoffed. “He’s my son.”

“You birthed him. You may be his mother, but you are not his mom.” Zane retorted. Misako’s face was turning red. Zane raised a brow.

“You have no right-”

“I have had the right since before your ‘son,’ ran into my kitchen, sobbing.” 

Misako glowered. She took a step forward. 

Kai did the same thing. Cole put a hand on the fire ninja’s shoulder. Kai glanced back at him. Cole quirked an eyebrow, mauve eyes glancing down at Kai’s fists. 

Misako paused. 

Kai sighed. He glanced down at his fists before rolling his eyes. They were small, twin flames, heating up on both fists. Kai shook them out. He kept his glare trained on Misako.

“Well, Cole.” Misako sighs, gazing up at the tallest. “It seems that you are the leader, so you have to listen to reason.” She glanced down at her watch. “If you would just tell your team,” She sneered. “That all I want to do is to clear some things up with my son, in private.”

Cole raised a brow, he glanced back at Lloyd. “Lloyd, bubs, do you want to be alone with your mom?” 

Lloyd shook his head rapidly, tears blooming in his starking ruby eyes.

Cole nodded, turning back to Misako.“Yeah, he doesn’t want to be alone with you.” A small smile graced his dark face.

Misako scoffed, she glanced at Wu. “This is ridiculous- He is a child. And you’re listening to him?!”

Nya snorted. “Kids have opinions, Misako.”

Misako sneered. She turned towards Wu. “You’re really going to let them talk to me this way?!”

The old man bit his lip, concerned shining in his golden eyes. He tried his best to get a look at Lloyd. “If Lloyd doesn’t want to talk to you, then he doesn’t have to.” 

The ninja glanced at each other. They shared a small smile. 

“Are you kidding me?!” Misako barked. “Well, assuming Lloyd told you all about his little temper tantrum, I just want to get a few things sorted out, before I have to leave again.”

Kai laughed. “Oh? You’re leaving, again? What a big surprise.” 

Misako rolled her eyes. “My job-”

“Oh, it’s all about your job, huh?!” Kai rolled his eyes.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Misako questioned, eyes blazed. “My job has given you important information.” 

“You left Lloyd at a boarding school, because of your job.” Jay piped up. “So, maybe, that’s why, we don’t care.” 

Misako growled. “My job was no place for a child-”

“Then where’s his birth certificate?” Zane asked. Cole and Nya’s gaze snapped back at Zane, their eyes questioning him. Misako froze. Wu stared at her, brows furrowed.

“Misako?” Wu questioned, old eyes switching between her and Zane. “What does Zane mean?” 

“That brat.” Misako muttured.

“Misako.” Wu hissed.

“Sensei Wu.” Zane started. Wu turned towards him. “Lloyd told me, just ten minutes ago, that he had a fight with Misako, where she told him she doesn’t remember his birthday and that he doesn’t have a birth certificate. She doesn’t know how old he is.” 

Wu blinked, hand covering his mouth. “Misako?” He whispered. 

“I was protecting him!” Misako tried. They all shared a confused glance. Misako gulped. “Lloyd would have become a science experiment!” A wobbly smile appeared on her face. “I was saving him.”

“Saving me?” Lloyd scoffed. He stepped out from behind Zane. “You made my life worse!” He gasped, he blinked away some tears. “You gave me to a school whose main mission was to turn me into a fucking villain, mom!” Lloyd heaved. “Do you even know what their punishments were?”

Everyone’s head snapped towards Lloyd. Kai and Cole glanced at each other, as did Zane and Jay. Nya stared at Lloyd, a hand covering her mouth. Wu looked like he was questioning his entire life. “Punishments?” Misako whispered. 

“Oh, yeah.” Lloyd snorted. “Punishments. If we were good, did a good deed, didn’t say enough fucking curse words, we’d get punished.” Lloyd nodded. “I’m not a natural blond, Misako.” He tugged a strand of his hair. Misako stared at him, hazel eyes wide. “Oh yeah, they would bleach my hair, every day, until it fell out.” Lloyd’s brows jumped up, a small grin forming on his face. “ They didn’t give a fuck if it got in my eyes or on my skin.” He clicked his tongue. “Fucking, they more than likely hoped that the bleach killed me.” He snorted. “One less mouth to feed, y’know?”

“Lloyd-” Misako whispered, reaching a hand out. 

“Who knows Mom? Maybe I decided I actually preferred being blond. Maybe, my hair is actually permanently blond, because of the bleach.” Lloyd laughs. “Oh, but the best part mom? That was one of the easier punishments.” 

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the kid. “Oh, I got off easy, because they were scared of dad. They only did it when they realized he didn’t have a way to hurt them.” Lloyd let out a breath. “You knew, I was the Green Ninja, Mom.” Lloyd stared at her in the eyes. “And you still gave me away to the school that punishes good behavior, and I tried, Misako. I tried being evil. It didn’t take.”

“Lloyd…” Misako whispered, tears were brimming in her eyes. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know.”

Lloyd rolled his eyes. “Don’t.” He sighed. Lloyd gave his mom one last stare. “I don’t care anymore, Mom. Misako.” He shook his head. “I’ve heard karma’s a bitch.” He winked at her, a smirk on his face, as he turned, and walked deeper into the bounty. 

“Lloyd!” Misako called, trying to go after him. Cole stopped her, a hand placed on her shoulder. He turned her around.

“I don’t even know why you thought that would work.” Cole snorted, he gave her a small push towards Wu. Cole and Wu shared a look. After a few seconds of silent communication, Cole nodded. He turned towards his team and ushered them deeper into the bounty. 

Wu waited a few more minutes after the Ninja were out of sight. He turned towards Misako. “Really?” He whispered.

“What?” Misako snapped. She glanced at him, before rolling her eyes. “I didn’t know.”

“You could’ve left him with me.”

She paused. She wrung her hands together. “I- uh… I didn’t…” She sighs.

“I knew he existed, Misako.” Wu hissed. “I could’ve taught him. He didn’t have to go through that fucking trauma.” He glared at her from under his hat. 

“Wu- please.” She tried.

Wu just shook his head. “I can’t believe I ever loved you.” He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Go.” 

“What- Wu, don’t act so rash.”

Wu scoffed. “You abandoned your son, Misako. You didn’t even leave him in capable hands.” He shook his head. “You always thought he was a monster.”

“I was protecting you-”

“Don’t even try that with me, Misako.”

“Wu, please.”

The older couple stared at each other for a few seconds. Misako was trembling, close to tears. Wu, was blinking away a few tears of his own. “Misako, you should leave.”

“We’re family, Wu.”

“You’re my sister-in-law, Montgomery.”

Misako sneered. “You’ll need me.”

Wu shook his head. “I have other ways of finding your knowledge.”

Misako growled. “You’ll regret this.” She moved towards the door leading to the deck. “You’ll regret this for the rest of your short fucking life, Wu.”

Wu slowly shook his head. “Sounds like the only one regretting things, is you Misako.”

Misako glared at Wu one last time before storming out the door, and off the bounty. Wu watched her leave. He closed the door behind her. Wu gripped his wooden staff tightly, “I’m sorry, brother.” He whispered.
