Review replies:
EntityEndDragon: dang, yeah, they totally need hugs.
Pastelninjamonile: Even the best of friends fight sometimes.
NinjagoMLP77: He will. Not necessarily because of Morro 2, but he will.
TheSincereViolinist: They both have their reasons for being mad. One of them is just wrong.
Nicktastic: If they're outside the closet, they have to deal with the judgemental glares from the #1 ninja.
Ebony: Any day now.
MLGbilcipher: I mean... both actually ended up happening xD
Windy: Band-aids don't fix bullet holes - you say sorry just for show - you live like that you live with ghosts
Samantha: That... might... possibly... be accurate...
Indigo opened one eye at the sound of approaching footsteps, then lifted her head a bit as Morro entered the room, eyes narrowed a bit and fists clenched to his sides.
"How did it go?" She asked as he sat down on his bed.
"Pretty well. I roughed him up quite a bit before Lloyd showed up and made me stop."
"Good." She nodded approvingly. "Lloyd shares this room with you, doesn't he? Is he gonna come and kick me out?"
"That would be hard. I locked him up with the other me." Indigo let out a snort of laughter.
"As funny as that is… do you think evil Morro will hurt him?"
"No. You should have seen him, curled up on the ground and crying out for Lloyd to help him. He won't drop the charade just yet." Morro shook his head. "Lloyd will be fine until someone finds him."
"Okay…" Morro was really sure that the other him hadn't, and wouldn't change. Indigo… wasn't so sure. Lloyd was right that if her Morro had changed, maybe his double could too. But not in that short a time. That was highly suspicious. "If Lloyd's in jail, can I spend the night here with you?" Morro chuckled.
"That's a bit inappropriate."
"We've done it before."
"Fair enough. And if Lloyd does show up, you can just sleep in my bed."
"What about if he doesn't?"
"…then you can still sleep with me if you want."
"Yay." Indigo hopped off Lloyd's bed and hurried across the room to sit next to her boyfriend. "So… do we just avoid them for the next couple of days?"
"I guess. Unless I can catch the other me alone, and beat him some more."
"I think Lloyd will lock you up if you attack him again. And hopefully he's learned his lesson."
"Fair enough." Morro wrapped his arms around her and leaned back, lying down on the pillow with her on top of him. The void mistress rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes.
"Goodnight, Morro."
"Goodnight, Indigo."

"You'll be okay." Lloyd assured Morro, helping him sit up against the wall of his cell. "Do you think anything's broken?"
"M-maybe… maybe my fingers…" The former king ground out through clenched teeth. "Nothing else…"
"Let me see your hand." The blond held out his hand, and Morro 2 slowly, painfully lifted his left hand up for him to look at. Lloyd took it, frowning at his bruised and swollen fingers. "What did he do?"
"Stomped on me…"
"Oh." What in Ninjago had possessed Morro to do something so horrible? He was usually kind, and at least tolerant of his enemies. And he listened to him. Now… "They should be wrapped." He said at last. "I'd get some bandages, but… I'm locked in."
"Oh… well." Morro pulled his hand away, setting it on the ground next to him. "Sit with me?" He asked quietly. Lloyd nodded, scooting closer and leaning against the wall on his right.
"Where else are you hurt?"
"He… kicked me in the side twice, and punched me in the stomach, and slammed my head against the wall… my head really hurts." Lloyd frowned.
"Lean forward a bit and let me see." The ghost obeyed, leaning forward and tilting his head so the blond could see. The green ninja gently brushed his hair and running a finger down the back of his head, but pulled away when Morro let out a hiss of pain.
"No, keep going, just hurry." The ghost ordered, his voice strained. Lloyd obeyed, parting his hair and running a finger down the back of his head. Morro let out a choked cry, his uninjured hand clenching into a fist as he started to shake. The blond barely noticed his reaction, though, his focus occupied by what he had found.
"Morro, I think… I think he cracked your skull." He whispered, pulling his hands away. "I know he was angry, but… did he mean to do that?"
"I don't know…" Morro squeezed his eyes shut. "Uuuuugh, everything hurts…" Lloyd frowned.
"It will be hard for you to get comfortable in this cell… you need a pillow at least. If you just rest for long enough, it should heal, but it will be a long time."
"I know…" he winced when he spoke. "Do you think… Andreea will heal me? My head at least?"
"I hope so. But… wait, she just left with the others." Lloyd shook his head. "You'll have to wait a few days, but it's better than months."
"Y-yeah, but… those few days will really hurt." The ghost whispered.
"I know, I'm sorry, but… I don't think there's very much else I can do." Morro let out a quiet sigh.
"Okay. Wish I had… a pillow, at least."
"I'll get one for you once someone lets me out. In the meantime… you could use me for a pillow, if you want." The blond suggested.
"I… you mean lean my head on your shoulder?"
"No, my shoulder's not soft. I mean on my lap."
"Oh. Yeah, if you help me lie down."
"I can do that." Carefully, Lloyd lowered Morro down so his head rested on his legs, the ghost flinching a bit when his head touched him but relaxing a moment later.
"That's better."
"Good. Just rest until I can get out of here." Morro hummed his acknowledgement, then fell silent. The two waited there in silence for a long time, and Lloyd had almost fallen asleep when the door opened, admitting Tori into the room.
"Hey." She greeted him casually, not seeming bothered by the sight of Morro lying in his lap. "Did you lock yourself in again?"
"No, my Morro locked me in."
"Which would be… which one?" The blond girl tilted her head.
"Not this one. The one from my world."
"Oh. Why? I thought you were buddies."
"He… yeah, but he really hates this Morro." Lloyd put a hand on the sleeping ghost's shoulder. "He came and started beating him, managed to break his fingers and crack his skull before I made him stop. But then he locked us both in here."
"Oh." Tori's eyes widened a bit. "Should we do something?"
"Well… if you could find a few pillows, that would make him more comfortable, but we really can't do anything until Andreea's back."
"Oh. Okay. I'll get some pillows, then be right back." The mistress of darkness turned and left, not bothering to close the door. While he waited, Lloyd ran his hand over Morro's hair, just barely grazing his head for fear of hurting him. Even though Morro was angry… he was never this violent before. What Indigo had told him must have really riled him up. Tori returned with a stack of pillows, and unlocked the cell door to give them to him. Morro awoke at the sound of the door opening, and whimpered a bit from the pain in his head as she set the pillows next to him.
"Hey." Lloyd said softly. "How's your head?"
"Still… still hurts. A lot." Oh well. Lloyd hadn't expected it to heal much in the half-hour he had been asleep.
"I got some pillows. Well, Tori got them. But they're here now, do you want to use those instead? I have to go talk some sense into my Morro."
"Yeah…" Morro nodded a bit, then flinched. "Ugh, I… really can't move."
"Yeah, be careful." Lloyd carefully helped him shift over to rest his head on a squishy pillow set on top of a firmer one. Morro relaxed more as his head sunk into the pillow, closing his eyes again with a quiet sigh. "I'm gonna go now, okay?"
"Mm'kay." Lloyd stood up and followed Tori out of the cell, watching her lock it up before taking the keys and stuffing them in his pocket. Now, even if he wasn't there, there was no way Morro 1 could hurt him again.
