Summary
“I hope he’s okay.” Kai’s voice came out small, almost as an offer. A suggestion that he was still here.
“I don’t like thinking about it.”

The Merge took a lot of things from the ninja, things they might never get back. Kai and Lloyd realize that pretty quickly. -

Summary
His hands were shaking. He was so scared to move.
The people in the car were freaking out. There was shouting, screaming, crying. People were moving frantically, looking around, digging under seats, trying to find the bomb. The small girl across from Kai was being hugged by her crying mother, but the girl looked far less scared. She was looking right at Kai, overflowing trust in her eyes, smiling, knowing that he was there.
“It’s…It’s gonna be okay,” Kai told her. He managed a smile, barely moving.
“I know,” the girl said. “My mom says you always win, so I don’t have to be scared.”
“Yeah. Your mom’s pretty smart.”

Or, Kai wakes up in a drugged haze to find himself on a crowded train that he didn't remember boarding, with a bomb strapped to his chest. Over the announcements, those on the train are given an ultimatum—kill the person wearing the vest, or the bomb goes off, killing them all. Kai, separated from his team, is faced with the same choice. Meanwhile, the Ninja race to shut it all down before the timer counts down to zero.

Summary
"Oh, no, here is fine, let me just—" Arin straightens, rolling his shoulder a bit, and then returns to his position more carefully. "It's just these, um, bandages, you know? Restricts my movement a little. Hurts when they're being tugged."
She hums, frowning, and lets Arin find his comfortable spot before settling in herself. "…Do you want me to kiss it better?" She asks, and Arin huffs from her side.
"I don't think that'll work anymore, Mom." Arin protests, weakly.

Summary
Kai suddenly grabs his bag and phone, leaving his drink on the table, as he quickly leaves out the back door, pulling up Jay’s contact and calling him back. He walks outside, moving past a handful of dumpsters and arrives at a more isolated spot, usually where he’d go to smoke.
He waits rather impatiently, internally cursing himself each second that Jay doesn’t pick up. This is stupid, he thinks, but waits nonetheless.
Jay answers.
or: after zane's death, kai accidentally saves jay's life.
