"Ever since Morro happened, he's... changed." Nya gave an uncomfortable shrug. "It's like how he was when he was getting ready to fight the Overlord... grim. Serious."
"Can you blame him?" I asked quietly. "What he went through was..."
"I know," Nya said, "it's just... it's intense. Worse than before, and with you - it's like he's paranoid something's gonna hurt you like how Morro hurt him, and it's changed him. He's different, now."

I rolled my eyes, shoving my phone back into my pocket as I scanned the surrounding rooftops for the water ninja. Nya popped her head up over the edge of the stationary warehouse I was headed to and waved. I snorted, raising my hand to wave back at her.

I dialled Nya as I locked the car and stuffed the keys into my pocket. She picked up just as I began walking towards the building.
"Hey babe," Nya greeted. "What's up?"
"The building stress of the inevitable beginning of school," I replied airily. "How's the search going?"
"Oh damn, I felt that," she snorted. "We're coming up with nothing. I don't get why we have to be on the lookout for Axon if we're just going to ambush him at your place on Sunday."
"Well, it's about keeping him from getting suspicious, right?" I replied, entering the warehouse and grabbing a cart. "If he notices that you guys aren't at least patrolling the city more, he might get some ideas."
"Yeah, I know," she groaned down the line. "It's just so boring. I'd rather be kicking scum butt."
I grinned at her attitude, grabbing a few textbooks I needed for a few of my classes and dropping them into the cart.
"What I want to know is why you're on watch out from the stationary warehouse," I hummed, grabbing a few extra red pens. "Pretty weird place to patrol since Simon doesn't go to Ninjago High."
Nya was silent.
"Lloyd asked you to babysit me, didn't he?" I said dryly, even though I already knew the answer.
"He literally would not remain home if I didn't agree," Nya complained. "And we all have tracking chips in our suits. He'd know if I lied."
"But he doesn't know where I am," I replied, scanning the rack for a pretty binder. "So how can he know if you've lied or not?"
She went quiet again. I stilled, suspicion building.
"Nya?" I pressed, grabbing a random binder and dropping it into the cart harshly. "What is it?"
She relented with a groan, quick to crack.
"He made me put a tracker in your phone!" Nya confessed and I paused in shock.
"When the hell did you put a tracker in my phone?" I hissed, jerking the cart into the next aisle.
"Last night," she replied, regret in her voice. "While you were asleep."
"You snuck into my room?" I yelped, feeling violated. "How?!"
"I'm a ninja, Y/n. I'm very good at getting into places where I shouldn't be."
