"How do we know you're the Wind Ninja?" one of the coworkers asked, eyeing Mia suspiciously.
Mia effortlessly lifted him, and he screamed, "Put me down! I'm afraid of heights!" Mia set the worker down, and the other one spoke up.
"How do we know you're really his sister and not some random stranger asking for him?" she asked.
Mia held her hand up, and a scrapbook flew into her hand, as well as her and Jay's passport.
"Here," she said.
And then she turned back to Jay. "Come on, Jay, you have to remember something. Anything. Anyone. Me? Kai? Nya?" Mia pleaded.
"Eh, I don't listen to little girls who have no idea what they're talking about," he replied.
"You really shouldn't have said that," Lloyd warned.
"Why? She doesn't look so strong, and she absolutely does not look like she has any idea what she's saying," Jay remarked.
Then Mia lost it. Her eyes turned to a shade of bright red, and she charged at Jay.
"No one, I mean no one, calls me weak, and yes, I know what I'm doing," she growled. She held her hands up, lifted Jay, and shook him around the room while he was levitating. "If you want me to put you down, tell me your life, every single detail!" she yelled. The workers ran to stop her, but Mia created a force field between them.
"What good is that going to do?" Lloyd called from the other side.
"I just want to know if he remembers anything, anything," Mia replied.
"I was born, went to school, graduated, went to college, and came to work here," Jay stuttered.
"Where are your parents?"
"Um," Jay looked uncomfortable.
"I asked where your parents are," Mia yelled.
"Dead, okay? They're dead. They died a long time ago, and I don't know why you're asking this, but I just told you."
Mia looked at Jay, a hopeful glimmer in her eyes.
"Dead? Were they killed or did they die of natural causes?" she asked gently.
"I don't like talking about it, but since you asked, sure, I'll tell you," Jay replied reluctantly. "There was a car accident on the highway. We were driving at night. My sister was there too. There was a truck that crashed into our car. Me and my sister survived, but our parents...." he trailed off, unable to continue.
"He remembers," Mia muttered excitedly. "He actually remembered. Maybe there is a chance in getting his slowpoke brain back to his normal self."
"Mia, what are you doing?" Lloyd asked, concern evident in his voice.
"What does it look like I'm doing, playing hockey? Oh wait, if I said that to the normal Jay," Mia eyed the strict boy standing in front of her, wearing a black suit and tie, "he would have said, ‘Playing hockey? Does this sound like a time to be joking around? We are in full crisis mode, and you're making jokes about playing? Step up your game, Mia!’"
"You can really make a good Jay impression," Lloyd complimented Mia, who blushed.
"I'm sorry to break this up, but we don't have much time," Zane called from the other room.
"Much time? Much time for what?" Jay inquired.
"Okay, I know this is going to sound really bizarre, but just hear me out," Mia said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "So there's this really interesting Serpentine guy who's trying to find Lloyd, and Lloyd has to hide. But there's a sword which we need to get in order for us to defeat him, so it has to be all six of the Ninja. Or actually, rather all seven. Problem is, there are only six of us, and we'll need you in order for us to unlock the sword."
