Mission: Green

Chapter twenty eigth

(( alright, two chapters in a day, I do this because you're all my absolute amazing readers. Luv u all))

The metal chains around his hands had to be freezing cold, but since the green ninja still hadn't woken up just yet, he probably didn't mind, nor feel it.
47 quietly stood outside his little cell that Clouse himself had assigned him to. It was specially made to contain powerful people like Lloyd inside of it. The metal that was used to build it came out of space somewhere, and had the ability to almost remove all signs of elemental powers of those who were near it. They of course would regain their powers if they were staying a bit away from it though.
Her eyes studied his face.
She couldn't take her eyes off them... it felt weird to see him like this... like a traitor..
She couldn't let herself fall for his kindness like she had used to as a kid.
She wasn't a kid anymore, neither was he.
Any kind of attachment was not allowed within the league, even Morro had been willing to cross that line to be with her... but she had rejected him...
No. She had rejected him because it was the right thing to do according to league rules... not because she had feelings for.... Lloyd.
She remembered the look he gave her when he had recognized her...
Her chest hurt a bit by the thought of it... she felt guilty about it... about hurting him..
Or technically, he had betrayed them first, so he had no reason to feel betrayed... but the look on his face only made her feel ... sad.
" knew I would find you here"
Morro's voice reached her, and she jumps at the sudden appearance of him.
He didn't seem happy about it. But that had to be his problem.
" I'm on guard duty " 47 replies as she takes her eyes off Lloyd.
" lies. This cell has never been guarded before, because of its unique ability to suck your powers. Even my wind doesn't work now" Morro knocked on the metal cell, looking over at her.
" well you never know. I'm assigned by Clouse to guard, so if you have a problem, talk to him" 47 replied, not caring if he would do it or not. It was true that she had been assigned to guard him, but it didn't have to be this close to his cell.
" whatever... I'm here to wake him up" Morro held up a bucket of water and looked over at her.
" would you like to?" He holds up the bucket before her and she looks down at it.
Should she? It would be better if she woke him up and not Morro, but just as she had made up her mind, Morro did it himself and threw the bucket of water all over Lloyd who wakes up at the very cold water hitting him.
" s...stop that Kai...." Lloyd quietly mumbled as he weakly tries to sit up. He then felt a rush of pain shoot through his body as he moved, and all the memories of the day before returned to him.
" JAY!" Lloyd's eyes suddenly pops open as he realizes where he is.
" morning 'Green', it's been a while" Morro rolls his eyes at him, not liking him a bit.
47 couldn't help but look at him. His green eyes...
she was happy she was wearing a mask at that poin, if not, she wouldn't forgive herself for letting Morro or Lloyd see her blush.
Lloyd looked at the two of them, recognizing them both, but it wasn't a joyful sight for him... both his childhood friends were now bloodthirsty assassins for the league...
" yeah... yeah it's been a while, but I guess things had changed since then" Lloyd speaks up, not knowing how to take this.
Lloyd then stands up, studying the cell that contained him, recognizing it right away.
" like it?" Morro smirks at him from the outside, enjoying this a lot.
" I never thought I would be locked in here" Lloyd replied honestly.
" well it's your new home now, at least for now."
47 only stood there... she wanted to say something, but it felt like her whole body just froze and refused to move.
" I won't stay long" Lloyd narrows his eyes at Morro, who now was giving Lloyd the death glare.
" that's actually right, you're not going to stay long down here in this world much longer"
Lloyd knew very well what he meant by that, and he knew he meant it. Betrayal at the league was punished by death, and he had done so, he had betrayed the league by joining the ninja instead, giving away valuable intel to sensei Wu and Garmadon. So death was obviously his only option. But he also knew it wouldn't happen right away, since he had been the renegade and was the chosen green ninja, overlord must have something he wants to tell or do before he kills him off, and if he knew the ninjas to well, they would have time to get there... maybe... this was the league after all...
" where's jay... let him go and i will do anything..." Lloyd quietly spoke, meaning every word, even though he didn't like to.
This actually surprised 47. She had never seen or hear anyone in the league being willing to give up themselves for the sake of other's... was that a good side thing..?
" why should we? We already have the two of you. And we know you will be easier to control when we have your little friend to torture" Morro spoke these words with pride.
Overlord had given him provision to do as he pleased with his prisoners and that included having fun torturing them.
" well I have a meeting in a minute, I will talk to you later.» Morro now slowly walks towards the exit, giving Lloyd another death glare. " I will return for you later." He whispers and disappears, leaving 47 and Lloyd alone.
It had been 5 years since they last had seen each other as friends. Lloyd didn't look at her, and she didn't look at him. None of them spoke for a while until Lloyd finally breaks the silence.
" I missed you too"
