Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 14: Love

'Normal POV'
~At The Institute~

"Should we send him out now?" One of the white coats asks, looking to a smirking Vanessa

"Yes... It seems that she is vulnerable, her emotions will be easy to tamper with."

They walk to the room that Dezmend is being held in. Vanessa opens the door and walks into the metal enforced room. He is sitting in the corner, he turns to look at her

"Is it time?" He asks

"Yes, it is time. You know what you must do, don't you?"

"Yes. I will bring her to you in one week time."

"What a good boy... If only she was this easy to control." A small sigh escapes Vanessa's lips. She turns to the door and begins walking, Dezmend follows

"When she asks you how you got out, you tell her you escaped." Vanessa opens a door leading to the outside of the institute

"I will meet you in the forest by their hideaway in one week." Dez takes off out the door. Vanessa watches him until he disappears into the busy streets of Ninjago.

'Silver's POV'

My past, I want to know more about it, about me, who I was, who my parents were. It turns out I was wrong, I wasn't taken as a baby, I was a kid. That means that I might be able to find my father one day, not now, as it would put  his life in danger.

The guys are training today, I'm outside on the small front lawn with Julia while the guys train deeper in the forest. She looks at her wing, inspecting it with a sad look on her face. She, like me, was modified to heal faster, so her wing has already started to heal

"Am I going to be able to fly again soon?" She asks

"Sensei said that you should be able to fly again in a few days." I answer, looking at her damaged wing.

I hear a rustling in the bushes and instinctively stand up and place myself in front of Julia

"Don't tell me you've forgotten about me already?" Dez steps into the light, his shoulder has completely healed

"Dez!" I run and wrap my arms around him tightly "you're okay..." I begin to cry as he traces circles on my back

"Yeah, I escaped them, Silver." I'm so glad that he's alright.

"Dezmend!" Lilian runs out the door and joins in on the hug. Julia stays on the grass, watching as the guys return from training

"How'd you get out?" Kai asks. Lilian and I pull out of the hug

"Uh..." Dez avoids everyone's eyes "I fought my way out." He answers, still avoiding eye contact

"I see... That must have been tough." Cole says, eyeing Dez like he's suspicious

"Yeah, it was." Dez meets Cole's eyes. Sensing some tension, I speak

"Well, we should get you inside." I take Dez's arm and lead him inside the small house.

~3 Days Later~

Dez has wanted to spend a lot of time since he escaped. I'm so glad that he was able to escape.

I'm sitting on my bed, staring at the ceiling. The other three fell asleep hours ago.

I hear a small knock on our bedroom door. I get out of bed and quietly make my way over, opening the creaky door slowly. I'm meted with Cole's dark brown eyes
