(Third Person P.O.V)
____ The Past ____
Wu and Garmadon were pacing back and forth in a private room while waiting for (Y/N) and Morro trying desperately not to address the elephant in the room.
Garmadon looked as though he was going to break first when Wu beat him to it.
"Those scars how did she get them?" Wu said out loud unable to continue saying what he was about to say. "I don't know brother." Garmadon responded. "But whoever gave them to her is going to pay." Garmadon promised, darkly.
"Brother don't do anything foolish." Wu warned causing his brother to growl. "We don't know the whole story." Wu pleaded with his brother.
"What kind of story could there be that could explain away that!" Garmadon spat at Wu. The Sensei was speechless and Garmadon snorted at his brother before turning his back on him.
"Someone had hurt his (Y/N)! They were going to pay!" Lord Garmadon growled in his mind. He then shook his head with a frustrated hiss coming out of him.
Wu was at a loss on what to do. He thought back to the moment he saw those scars. How that instant feeling of dread, poisoning the feelings of warmth and happiness of that moment. How he felt fear, shock and a ghosting pain in his heart.
It didn't help when his brother suddenly let out an enraged roar, that shook Wu from his thoughts. Wu breathed in and out, trying to calm his frazzled nerves.
"Brother we must not do anything rash." Wu warned his obviously enraged sibling. The mere sight of his enraged brother was imposing, to say the least.
(Y/N) and Morro walked into the room to see the sight of Wu trying to calm down Lord Garmadon. Morro was startled when he saw Lord Garmadon.
Morro took one look at how Lord Garmadon's eyes blazed as he bared his teeth. Morro buried his face into (Y/N) side, wrapping his arms around her in fear.
(Y/N) could feel both Wu and Lord Garmadon's eyes on her, wary and frowning. (Y/N) didn't move. They didn't either. They just stood and eyed each other.
"Name." Lord Garmadon firmly demanded. (Y/N) stood stiffly across from him.
"All I ask is the name. And I rather hear it from you." he asked again. "Who's name?" (Y/N) carefully asked. Trying her best not to upset Lord Garmadon with Morro in the room. Morro's safety came first.
"The person who put the scars on your back." Lord Garmadon stated coldly. (Y/N)'s (E/C) eyes widened as Lord Garmadon's eyes narrowed.
"You don't want that name." (Y/N) boldly told him. Absolutely refusing to utter the name he wished to hear. Lord Garmadon's eyes locked on hers, imploring her to make this easy on the both of them.
"No! You're not going near them. No one is." (Y/N) angrily declared. "Brother, leave it be." Wu scolded Garmadon.
"No Wu! I want the name of the person who hurt her!" Lord Garmadon growled menacingly at his sibling and (Y/N) stiffened at the sound as Morro buried his face into her side.
"No!" (Y/N) shouted back in defiance, feeling a painful sting in her eyes and a sharp ache in her chest.
Morro griped onto (Y/N) tighter. He could feel her getting tenser ready to strike. Wu could tell that this was upsetting her, making her more volatile. "(Y/N), you don't have to say anything. Brother, stop pressuring her." Wu instructed the pair trying to call for peace.
Lord Garmadon growls and takes a menacing step forward hand raised as if to start lecturing. Panicking for a moment Wu takes a step forward to stop him.
"Brother stop!" Wu ordered stepping in between them. "Why!?" Lord Garmadon howled at (Y/N). "Why are you protecting them!?"
"I'm not! I just refuse to put you all in danger!" (Y/N) shouted at the brothers. A flash of emotion leaks across her face. A startled Morro let out a startled squeak.
Morro looked up at (Y/N) worried by the shocked expression on her face. For a moment just a moment, she let her mask fall. She had never let that fall since she had been small.
Wu quickly raced to her side after seeing the expression on her face. Wu gently took her hand into his. It was ice cold. "(Y/N), it's all right." Wu said trying to comfort her.
"I need to go." (Y/N) declared snatching back her hand and picking up young Morro.
"Morro stay with your father. I need to go." (Y/N) said handing Morro to Wu before racing out the door.
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" Morro screamed for her as she ran out the door.
Lord Gamadon stood there frozen in place watching her go. "Brother you must not do that again." Wu scolded his brother. "There are things at play we have yet to understand, it is difficult for her as well."

____ The Past ____
(Y/N) had found a nice hiding place for herself up in a tree some distance from Chen's forest temple. Doing her best to act as if she had not just slipped up momentarily in an argument.
After a while of laying on the branches and listening to the wind shaking the leaves as she drifted off to sleep.
A few hours later. There the sounds of branches breaking under someone's foot. that soon ended under the tree that she was in. He looks up at me, knowing exactly where she was somehow.
(Y/N) sat up in the branches and look down. "Ah, there you are." Chen exclaimed having spotted her. "What do you want!?" (Y/N) demands with a threatening edge to her voice.
"I do not wish to harm you―" Master Chen began to spin his speel only to get cut off. "Sure you don't." (Y/N) mutters with an angry huff.
Master Chen growls under his breath for a moment but continues. "Now, now. You're a guest here." Master Chen says with a fake smile. (Y/N) did her best not to roll her eyes at the red head.
"Go away, Chen." (Y/N) hissed. "I'm not in a good mood." She warned the foolish man. because despite everything Chen has done, (Y/N) didn't want to kill him. He was annoying, yes but he was no threat.
"But I'm worried about you." Chen pouted in fake concern. "So cute, to worry about me. Melts my heart." (Y/N) spat back at Chen, her words were venomous and her trademark icy stare had returned.
Master Chen let out a laugh at that and beamed his annoying, cheesy expression at her.
"Now, I believe that Lord Garmadon is looking for you, he wishes to apologise." Chen said trying to bait the girl by strongly emphasising the Lord part. As if the title was going to impress her.
It wasn't (Y/N) had met plenty of people with greater titles then that and they all meant nothing to her.
It was clear to (Y/N) that Chen was trying to take advantage of her incredibly agitated state. To bad for him she'd fought against masters of manipulation with near-perfect skills before. Near perfect because if they truly were a master of manipulation (Y/N) would have been under her control.
"Did Clouse wake up yet?" (Y/N) asked already bored with this conversation. "Oh, yes. Clousy Clouse did wake up a short while ago but you left before one of my kabukis could inform you." Chen said with a sly grin.
"And when my poor innocent kabukis went to tell you they found Lord Garmadon instead."
"Brick." (Y/N) thought to herself. "Lord Garmadon decided to get the answers he was looking for out of poor Clousy Clouse." Master Chen exclaimed with a faux concerned tone combined with a pout.
(Y/N) facepalmed at that. "Is Clouse still alive!?" She said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, yes Clouse is still amongst us..." Chen said offhandedly but the Master signature sly grin returned to his face. "But he's well... Lord Garmadon can be quiet rough especially with protecting those dear to him." Master Chen chuckled darkly.
"Poor Clousy Clouse fainted after such rough treatment. He even has a rather nice shinner too now." Master Chen when on to explain the dark magicians condition.
"Anything else?!" (Y/N) demanded while glaring at the red head."(Y/N)!" A very familiar and very cross voice shrieked up at her. (Y/N) looked down to see a cross Morro looking up at her with puffed-out cheeks.
"Yes. Wu's little apprentice is also looking for you." Chen said with a Brick-eating grin.

No! No Brick-sucking way!
Lord Garmadon was taken aback at what he'd learnt. A large amount of rage took over his mind. His hands were shaking and his breath was shallow. Something inside him was raging. He suddenly felt like Hunting down everyone and tearing off someone's head. Even Master Chen's.
The person that hurt his (Y/N) was the same person she'd wanted to talk to Clouse and only Clouse about.
This Hela person.
Clouse was too scared to even talk about them, whimpering and crying as he'd beat the dark magic wielder with his fists. Clouse had cried out that he didn't want to talk about her. "To just keep (Y/N) away from him. He didn't want to get involved."
Lord Garmadon clenched his jaw in rage once more. He hated it that she was keeping things from for quote on quote to keep them safe.
He was Lord Garamadon. He didn't need protecting. He thought back to the scars on her back. But she obviously did.
She was a light in the dark that was his life and he needed that.

Morro's mouth was set in a firm line before he stated. (Y/N) could tell he wasn't angry at her, per say, but he was definitely not happy.
"Morro-" (Y/N) started as she climbed down from the tree but she interrupted. "(Y/N)! You ran away. I assumed the worst. I didn't expect to find you!" Morro cried out.
(Y/N) shrunk away from Morro not wanting to meet his gaze. His voice softened after seeing her discomfit from his verbal tirade.
"I'm sorry. I was just scared. Scared I was going to lose you. And angry. Angry for letting you go. I'm not ready for you to go yet. So please, don't do something like this again." He confessed, wiping his face with his sleaves.
(Y/N) wrapped her arms around him pulling him in for a hug. "Don't worry, I'm not planning on leaving you any time soon." (Y/N) promised.
