" Hi, can I see a boy about this high named Jay?" Mia asked anxiously, her eyes darting around the office.
" You mean Agent Walker?" The receptionist replied.
" When did Jay get such a sophisticated name?" Lloyd asked, scratching his head.
" Beats me." Then, turning back to the receptionist, she nodded.
" Names?"
" Mia Elizabeth Walker and Lloyd Garmadon."
" Age?"
" I'm Eight, he's.... Um..." Mia stuttered, looking up to Lloyd for help.
" 13." Lloyd said flatley, shooting a look at Mia.
" What? You never told me your age! No one did!" Mia whispered.
" Fair enough." Lloyd replied.
" And relationship?"
" I'm his sister, and Lloyd here is his cousin."
" I'm act-"
He was cut off by a sharp jab in the stomach. Mia was looking at him with an expression which read, ' Go along with it, you fool!'.
" Yeah. What she said." The receptionist gave them cards and instructed them to pin them on their clothes.
" Why are we doing this?" Mia asked as they followed the receptionist.
" I have no idea." Lloyd replied.
Mia also had no idea how they had gotten to this moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mia was sitting in her room, on her chair, face resting on hand, which was on her desk. She was staring at a frame that had a picture of the whole team. But there was one particular person she was looking at.
Jay.
He had disappeared for a year.
It was also the day the Merge happened.
16 realms coming together.
It was a scary day.
And Mia blamed herself for it.
She knew the Merge was coming! She just did!
Well, not really. She only saw black clouds.
But still! She could have warned them.
And Master Wu! She could have helped Master Wu with the scrolls.
Not that they make sense or anything. Mia had been reading those scrolls for a year, trying to figure out how to reverse the effect.
She also had maps, to try and figure out where Jay was.
Just then, Lloyd entered, and he took in the room that stood before him.
Scrolls sprawled out everywhere. Pictures of Jay and the rest laughing and having fun. Maps on the wall.
Jay's clothes and pins hanging from the ceiling.
" Mia?" Lloyd called out cautiously.
" Yes, Lloyd?" Mia asked, her voice muffled.
" Where are you?"
" What does it matter? It's not like I'm gonna be any help. You know what happened last time I went on a mission."
Lloyd walked over to the desk, careful not to step on anything.
