Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 29: Mommy

'Lilian's POV'

Like Silver had instructed, the guys continue to train the mutants. They're really eager to help and destroy the white coats. I understand why, I'm ready to kill them too.

I've been trained to use a gun, it was my choice of weapon. It seemed like the best option to me, because, depending on the gun type, I can use it relativity quickly.

I'm running one of the training courses that have been set up, while other mutants wait in line.

'Kadence's POV'

I'm sitting crisscross on one of the medical beds that isn't being used while Clarissa looks at a teenage lizard mutants shoulder. I look to my hands that are currently folded in my lap and let out a light sigh

"Hey, what's wrong?" I turn my head towards the cute voice. I see a girl who looks to be about my age. She's a black panther mutation, I can tell by her black hair, black panthers ears and tail and her yellow cat eyes

"Oh, uh, n-nothing..." It's quite obviously a lie. She leans her head to one side and stares at me

"Why don't you want to tell me? You can trust me." She says, taking a step closer

"N-no I can't..." Mom told me to trust my instincts, and my instincts tell me not to trust her

"Why not?" She asks. She seems way to mature to be four

"B-because I don't know your name..." I say the first thing that comes to mind

"Oh!" She smiles and holds out her hand for me to shake "my name is Midnight!" I shake her hand

"My name's Kadence, nice to meet you." She jumps up onto the bed, and I move so that my legs dangle over the edge, she sits the same way.

"So you're Silver's son? That's what you're upset about, isn't it?" It's gotten around that mom went back to the institute to save the guys lives.

While there are other Avian mutations, mom is the only one with silver wings. Or, she was, until she passed them down to me. That's how people know I'm her son. The other mutations always tell me how she's giving her life for the lives of everyone on earth, and it's something she has to do to fulfill her 'destiny' and this it's part of this 'legend' stuff... But I don't understand! Why can't she fulfil her 'destiny' without having to die?! I just want my mom back! I miss her!

"Yeah... I just... I miss her..." A look of sympathy appears on her face

"Don't worry, if the legend is true, she won't die, she'll lead us into was with the white coats. And, hopefully, we'll win." I smile, so the legend isn't all bad, she still might live

"So, where are your parents?" I ask, she looks away, tears forming in her eyes

"D-dead..." She whispers. A pang of regret hits my chest. I shouldn't have asked the question...

"I'm sorry, Midnight..." I touch her small hand

"Thanks... But it's okay... Once this is all over, we're all going to be able to live normal lives..." I'd never really thought about what would happen after the institutions were destroyed. I know that we can never be normal. People won't accept us, but I don't want to crush her hope

"Yeah... I'm sure we will..." I smile, she lifts her eyes to meet mine and smiles too. She leans her head on my shoulder

"You know, you're the first friend I think I've ever made." She says, I can tell that she's tired, just by the way she speaks

"You're my first too." Well, the first that's my age. She yawns, and nuzzles her head on my shoulder

"Goodnight, Kadence..." She whispers

"Goodnight, Midnight."

She falls asleep quickly, I guess she really was tired.

"Kadence, who's this?" Clarissa asks, walking over to me. I see the teenage mutant she was talking to run off to continue training

"This is Midnight... She fell asleep on my shoulder. I don't know why, it's not even nighttime." Clarissa smiles

"It seems that the Felidae mutations like to take catnaps, like real cats." I nod

"Uh, how am I gonna move?" I look up at Clarissa. She sets her clipboard down and carefully slips her hands between Midnight's head and my shoulder

"Grab the pillow and put it under her head." I hop off of the bed, grab the pillow from the other end, and place it under Midnight's head. Clarissa sets her head down and slides her hands out from beneath it.

Midnight let's out something between a yawn and a screech. I notice something, her teeth are different from mine. I mean, it makes sense considering we're different types of mutants, but her teeth are little and very sharp looking, where as mine resemble a wolfs, like my dads.

My dad... I miss him... Mom's the only one I've got now, and she might be dead now too...

At first, only one tear falls down my cheek, then two, then they won't stop, it's like a never ending waterfall.

Mommy... Please come back... Please...
