Nya can't say that she didn't like to be alone. It was nice to get away from the boys for little while. It was just that she sometimes wanted a special someone to be right beside her. Right now was one of those times. She slipped out of her bed, grabbed her special blanket that she's had since she was a kid (only Jay and Kai really know about that blanket, she will not let anybody else know), and snuck down the hall. Unfortunately, she always has to sneak around when she wants to spend a night with Jay. Kai won't let them share a room even though they're yin and yang. He helps Jay ask her to be his yang, but he won't let them sleep together! It was frustrating. Kai could be so infuriating. It's not like she hasn't snuck over to Jay's room before. On the contrary. She has done it. Several times.
Jay had actually been out with Lloyd on a mission for the last week and just came back. Neither of them had spoken much about what happened on the mission. It was supposed to be simple reckon and they would be back in 2 days. It took longer than that which made the rest of the team worried, but Jay and Lloyd continued to check in and said that everything was under control. She saw worry in Jay's eyes, but it seemed like he didn't want anyone else to come. Normally, he wouldn't be able to act that calm if something was wrong, but he did. The others might not have caught the fear and worry in his eyes, but she did. How could she not? Something happened and she was going to find out what.
Nya got to Jay's bedroom door and knocked. "Jay, it's me," she said. "I don't know if you're asleep, but can I come in?" In all honesty, he probably should be sleeping, but she had a feeling he wasn't.
She didn't hear anything right away. After a couple minutes, she heard a soft, "come in."
She slowly opened the door and saw Jay sitting up in his bed. She walked over to him and sat down next to him. She heard him sniffle softly and figured that he must've been crying before she came in. She wrapped the blanket around the both of them. She's done it a couple of times when she brought it over because she thought Jay might be upset."What happened on that mission?" she asked. She wasn't going to beat around the bush for this one. Something happened and she wanted to know what.
"It was nothing," Jay said. He obviously didn't want to talk about it, but Nya wasn't going to give up that easily.
"It's not nothing Jay. You and Lloyd were only supposed to be gone for a couple days and it ended up taking a week! What happened?"
Jay sighed. "Lloyd knows."
"What does he know?" Nya wasn't completely sure what Jay was saying Lloyd knows, but she really hopes it's not...
"Nadakhan. Everything that happened in that alternate timeline."
Oh FSM.
Lloyd knows.
They hadn't told anyone and now Lloyd knows.
Nya didn't know what to say at first. What happened during that mission?
"I wasn't planning on him finding out," Jay continued. "It was supposed to be simple reckon, but it turned out that the guy we were watching had the Teapot of Tyrahn. Lloyd could tell that I knew what it was. I told him that it was dangerous and we attempted to get it back and failed. Then, Lloyd wanted me to tell him how I knew what it was."
"And you did," Nya cut in.
"I tried not to and insisted that we just needed to get it back, but he was persistent in getting me to tell him. I did and the mission became trying to get it. It took a few days, but we did." Nya heard Jay sighed. "And then, we lost it."
Nya looked at Jay in disbelief. "What do you mean you lost it?" she asked.
"Someone caught us off guard. We weren't paying attention and the person came up from behind and took it. We have no idea where they went after. Lloyd thought the best course of action was to come back here and hope that they turn back up."
"But you're worried they might release Nadakhan," Nya concluded. She's worried that could happen too. Who knows what Nadakhan would do if he gets released? Nadakhan would probably go after her and Jay, but if she's being honest, she feels that Jay would be the bigger target. She laid her head down on Jay's shoulder. "We'll get it back."
"How?" Jay asked. "We don't know where it is and the others don't know and I still don't want them to know-"
"I won't tell them anything." Both Jay and Nya looked up and saw Lloyd standing in the doorway. "If you guys don't want me to, I won't say anything." The green ninja started walking towards the couple. "But if Nadakhan is as dangerous as you say he is, we need to find that teapot."
Nya nodded. "And we will," she said. "We can try to make up some excuse for the others on why it's important to get it back."
"Yeah," Jay said and Nya heard that his voice sounded shaky. "We can do that."
"Ok," Lloyd said. "We'll start looking for it in the morning, but before I go, where did that blanket come from." Nya grabbed one of Jay's pillows and threw it at the green ninja. "What was that for? If you wanted me to leave, just say so."
"Go to sleep, Lloyd," Nya said. "You and Jay could both use some sleep after your mission." What? Sometimes, someone needs to tell the leader to go to bed.
"Fine. Good night." Lloyd closed the door and Nya heard his footsteps walking away from the room before turning to Jay.
"I meant what I said," she told her boyfriend. "You need sleep."
Nya knew that Jay could never tell her no, so he conceded with a nod. They both laid down on Jay's bed and put Nya's special blanket over them. It took no time for Jay to fall asleep which Nya figured would happen. Missions were always exhausting. Her mind couldn't help, but wander to the thought of the Teapot of Tyrahn being out there somewhere. They would find it. She knew they would. They would find it and stop Nadakhan from getting released.
