/ Will be in Kai's point of view c:

/ This is rated "T" due to the fact there is some visuals of traumatic injuries.

/ Please cut me some slack, I never took a single physics class so I tried to do this as best as I could :" (I had Jay stand up in the end, because if he were to stay laying down as he did in the T.V show, his body would have been torn aport - like completely mutilated.)

"I'm coming!!!" Kai called rushing towards the control unit.

The red ninja felt like he was in a dream - as if he were running underwater.

This was Jay's life on the line, the blue ninja would surely perish if he were hit by the train - and he would not let that happen.

Zane and Cole were grunting, pulling back on the brake as best as they could, sweat beading on Cole's forehead.

Kai stood for a moment, eyes widened, frozen.

Jay.

He was laying feet away from the train, fear practically radiating off of the blue ninja.

Kai grasped the brake, yanking back with full force.

"We're not strong enough!!!"

Oh no, oh no nono no...

Kai caught Jay's gaze. Fear, panic, desperation...

Acceptance.

Kai could barely catch Jay trying to stumble up, squeezing his eyes shut, awaiting the brutal death that was surely to meet him.

His breath caught in his chest, he wanted to puke.

No one dared to breathe.

Kai felt them hit Jay. Kai wanted to mutilate the whole bottom half of his body to get the aching feeling of them hitting Jay out of his mind.

Time had slowed down. The subway flung Jay's body 30 feet down the track, the limp body rolling a couple more feet before coming to a hault.

All Kai remembered doing is busting through the subway doors when it came to a stop, running 15 feet to Jay's still form.

Kai fell to his knees, taking in the unsettling picture.

Jay - it looked as if he was sleeping. Blood poured out of the blue ninja's nose and a halo of blood was forming underneath the brunette's head, not to mention all of the scrapes that littered his ashen, freckled face.

Was he still breathing?

Kai wished he could say that he calmly called the paramedics and remained by Jay's side, but...

All he did was stare, appalled. Cole was the one dialing the ambulance, almost hysterical, Zane was the one pressing Jay's thin wrist in different locations to find a pulse.

Kai barely noticed when the paramedics arrived, he barely noticed when they placed Jay on a stretcher with a spine board and neck brace.

They placed Jay inside the ambulance, Zane following in tow.

The ambulance sirens blared as they took off to Ninjago Memorial Hospital.

~O~

The blurred sound of the T.V filled the silent waiting room. No one said a word for hours.

Wu stayed behind with Lloyd, while Nya insisted on coming along. It wasn't the same with Jay not being here to cracking a joke.

But in reality, Jay was dead or on death's door.

Jay wasn't here.

Zane appeared grim while Cole's eyes were red - the usual stoic, friendly black ninja had red, watery eyes, and gave the occasional sniffle. Nya... Nya had tears still escaping her eyes.

It seemed as if she would stop crying, then only think about Jay's smile or laugh, then the silent crying would begin once again.

All Nya wanted was to see Jay again, curly brown hair bounding as he laughed, freckled nose scrunched up as he snorted and erupted into chortles, the crow feet beside his sapphire blue eyes scrunch up.

Ed and Edna were silent, Edna wiping stray tears with a kleenex as Ed was grasping his temple, looking distressed. What father wouldn't?

It was probably an ordinary day for them and the last thing that they were expecting was phone call stating that their son, their pride and joy, was in the hospital, with critical injuries and chances of survival were decreasing by the hour for him.

If only he had left those stupid snakes alone and went with Cole and Zane, then... Then maybe Jay would be there, shooting a signature Jay Walker joke.

The silence was broken off when the consultant went into the room, delivering the news.

"Relatives of Jason Walker?"

Ed nodded, rising out of his seat, "I'm the father, please, is my son alright?"

The consultant breathed deeply before continuing, "He's stable for now. But suffered extensive injuries," The consultant paused, flipping through the clipboard. "Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, broken ribcage, fractured sternum, broken arm, a cervical fracture, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. In other words, internal bleeding of the brain, a fractured breast bone, a broken neck, and internal bleeding of the stomach. He had to go on life support."

Kai had to swallow down a sob. His fault, all his fault-

Ed's voice wavered a bit as he had to speak over the lump in his throat. "Will he make full recovery?"

The consultant nodded, smiling a bit. "Miraculously, full recovery is expected; he's in for a long year worth though. Many people hit head on by subways, are usually proclaimed deceased at the scene... but Mr. Walker seemed to prove otherwise."

Edna began to sob in relief and anguish, going into Ed's arms. "My baby-... Oh my God..."

Ed stroked her head, looking at the consultant with slightly red, grey eyes. "Can we see him?"

The consultant nodded, leading them to the door, "Two at a time, and," he forewarned, "There is a vast amount of equipment." And with that, Ed and Edna disappeared with the consultant through the doors.

~O~

Hours passed, he didn't count how many. Night has fallen and finally, Ed and Edna finally left to watch over the junkyard.

Cole shook him out of his thoughts, "Hey... I'm gonna go see Jay, you want to come?" Cole asked, voice startlingly soft.

Kai's breathing hitched. Was he ready?...

Kai's mind was screaming at him but his body had it's own intentions - He stood up and went out the door with Cole.

Kai trudged behind Cole until they reached a room that said : 356B ICU.

Kai couldn't breathe for the millionth time that night.

He could barely recognize Jay.

Small bandages littered his ashen cheeks where the scratches had been - a ventilator was placed over most of his face, giving the life-saving breaths that Jay's body couldn't give itself.

Tubes, rubber and plastic, were in and out of his body like worms in fresh spring soil. A blue neckbrace was cushioned his neck to prevent any further damage and his arm was in a white cast.

IVs filled with blood, sodium chloride, hypotonic fluids, the list goes on..., was injected into the veins of each arm.

Kai could barely look at Jay, Jay's scraped knuckles, his bruised face, his limp body... that wasn't talking, laughing, or smiling...

Just still and silent. It was unnerving.

What was even more unnerving was the clicks the ventilator gave off each time Jay's lungs were filled with air.

Artificial air that had to be given or else his body would fail.

The monitor and the ventilator filled up the silence of the room.

Kai sat on the other side of Jay, watching the monitor as it gave Jay's slow heart beat and low blood pressure levels.

Before he knew it, liquid was falling from his eyes. He screwed up. If only, if only...

Jay could have died - instead of laying here on life support, Jay could have been in a body bag and they could have been planning funeral arrangements just because Kai had to pick a fight with the serpentine... While Cole and Zane tried to stop the train.

It didn't help that he fought with Jay over something that wasn't Jay's fault in the first place. Thinking with impulse rather than his brain and considering Jay's feelings, he thrown around words that shouldn't have been used.

Idiot, useless, worthless... All words that Kai had used towards Jay in a malicious manner over the fact that the blue ninja didn't want to go to work.

Kai, being irritable, tired, and sore, shot off his mouth. Asking Jay how worthless he could get, and that if Jay wasn't an idiot and realized the financial situation they were in, such a stupid question wouldn't be asked.

Now that Kai thought of it, if Jay had simply stayed home and trained Lloyd like he offered, maybe... maybe then their brother would still be with them, rather than in a coma.

Kai's bit his bottom lip as it trembled, grasping Jay's limp, pale, cold hand tightly.

"Hey buddy..." His voice cracked with emotion. "You're gonna get better, okay? You gotta.." He took a deep, yet shaky breath, using his other arm to rub the forsaken tears that dared to form. "Please... Don't give up on us, Jay... we care for you... and besides, you still gotta ask Nya out... I'm so sorry, I..."

Kai couldn't say anymore, his own words causing him to break down. Cole didn't make a move to comfort Kai, he was grasping the frame of the bed tightly, body trembling with his own emotions.

Kai knew one thing - he couldn't let Jay die - he can't let Jay depart thinking that he wasn't wanted or loved.

Jay couldn't go. Kai wouldn't let him.
