Le me is very happy with my reviews!!

Nuppa Nuppa: Funny how I was thinking of that as well. Wu and Cole is always involved when each other is concerned, so that would be a great chapter! I might write one later on, including Yang too.

The Night Ninja: Gurl, that is a pretty nice idea. Congratulations, you're head canon have been chosen for this one-shot

Zane is chosen for Numb! (He's my second favourite and I was kinda hoping he will be the one you guys choose)

However, what I'm writing will be more of brotherly fluff, I have no problem if you see it as glacier fluff so you guys go ahead.

Oh yeah, just let me say this. To me Zane is the oldest, Kai second, then Cole and Jay (they are both same age), then Nya and Lloyd (Same age physically at least)

PS: I forgot to mention that this took place a little after Day of the Departed

Warning: Depression, self-harm, my grammar, language

Shot 1- Numb Part 2

Zane was restless. He had been getting nightmares again for the whole week, today was no exception. It was always about the same things, his death at Overlord's hands, his loneliness during his self construction and his time in Chen's dojo (Luckily P.I.X.A.L was with him, or else he would have no idea who he was)

His heart aches whenever he thought of them (the flashbacks every night was not helping). To be honest, he had felt abandoned and betrayed. But he could understand that his friends thought he died and you can't really search for the dead. But it still hurt (P.I.X.A.L did confessed that she was following blind hope to find him and didn't tell the ninjas, it would have been cruel to get their hope up if it turned out to be a simple glitch)

With a sigh, Zane ripped his covers away and decided that he might as well be productive. Being a nindroid had a few advantages, just a little refreshing and he would be good to start the day. Plus, no one would guess he's not sleeping since he wouldn't get dark circles under his eyes.

He made his way to the bathroom but paused at the door. He had a really bad feeling, but decided to brush it off. It was just the bathroom, what could be so horrible? (This is not a public toilet).

He pushed the door open and froze on the spot. He couldn't believe his optics. Cole was leaned over the sink, tearing his left arm apart with furious desperation. His member was unrecognisable at this point, filled with various cuts of divers size and severity that went from his wrist to elbow. It was also coated with blood, as was the sink and part of the tiled floor.

It took a minute for the white ninja to process what was happening and the fact that he need to do something!

"Cole!!!" He screamed, rushing towards his friend and gripping his hands, twisting the one with the blade, effectively stopping him from mutilating himself any further.

"Cole! Stop! Cole! What are you doing!?"

The raven didn't respond. He wasn't even looking at him, his bi-coloured eyes fixated on the fallen blade, which lead him to look at the smudge blood on the floor and to his arm that was still dripping the crimson liquid.

"Cole!" Zane called again, trying desperately to get some kind of reaction from his closest brother. Cole suddenly relaxed completely and Zane stilled as well.

A powerful sob whack the raven's body and his legs gave out, dragging the blue eyed robot along to ground. He bent forward, trembling violently, crying uncontrollably and mumbling something.

"...-ant...d-damn... fe-l... sst-ill... t-hing... ah...-fe-l" It was a broken record of jumbled up words and Zane was at a lost.

Cole had a naturally breaking voice, which when he was feeling strong emotion, cracked even more to the point most words from a sentence would be difficult to understand. It was cute how flustered and frustrated the raven would become afterwards (and would of course deny everything). But the point still stands, it was hard to understand Cole when he was like that.

Zane struggled to figure what the raven was saying. And after long, he succeeded. Although it helped that the raven started to forcefully stop his tears.

'I still can't feel a damn thing'

Wait, that couldn't be right.

Unfortunately, it was. The more he listen the more clear it was.

"Cole-" The nindroid paused when the black ninja rose his head to meet him. He noticed for the first time that Cole's tears were different from each other. The ghostified eye was filled with a light transparent greenish liquid, almost unnoticeable.

"Hey Zane," It was obvious he was trying to talk normally, "I know it looks bad, but it's really not what you think" He even smiled but instead of reassuring the white ninja, it only serve to scare him even more.

Cole lightly pulled his hands, hinting the ice ninja to let go, but he refused. Zane realised at the same time how hard he was holding his brother's wrist and it would have been terribly painful if the raven could feel it.

"It's nothing really" The earth ninja attempted again, glancing at his damaged hand then back to Zane, who only shook his head no. Instead the ex-blond pulled the raven upwards as he himself stood.

The raven wanted to protest but when Zane's blue eyes met his own freaky ones, he really look into the titanium ninja eyes. What he saw caused him to fall quiet and comply.

The nindroid lead him to the toilet seat where he wordlessly demand the raven to sit. He then fetched the medical kit and started treating him.

Cole watched him work absent-mindly. The ice master started by cleaning away the blood with a rag, then he lightly dipped the alcohol onto a cotton ball before applying it to the lightest cut, making his way to the deeper once. He did so to lessen the pain and for the patient to prepare himself when treating the worst injuries but it really didn't matter since Cole was the patient. He knew it was suppose to hurt, to burn even but he couldn't feel it!

A tear drop distracted Zane from his task and he look up at the younger. He wasn't sobbing uncontrollably like before, the tears were just silently flowing down his cheeks.

Just as the white ninja reached to wipe away the tears, Cole did it himself with his pyjamas sleeves and frustrated grunt.

"S'rry 's n'thin'" He mumbled, wiping away the tears that refuse to stop. He fell like such a freaking crybaby with how much he's crying. But he could help it. He couldn't feel the tingly sensation in his eyes and he sure as hell wasn't able to feel the water running across his face. The only hint he had he was crying was when his vision got blurry and that was quickly fixed with blink.

Zane made quick work on the wounds and after bandaging his arm, it was time to discuss what happened. To Zane's surprise, this wasn't Cole's first self-harming session. His entire arm, up to his shoulders had scars and Zane has no doubt there could be more in other places. It was hard to tell when he had started cutting since Cole always wears long sleeves.

"Cole" Zane called him softly, lightly shaking his shoulder to gain his attention. "Let's go to your room"

"But what about this" Cole title his head towards the bloodied sink and floor. And Zane tisked, they evidently couldn't just leave the blood like that God know what would happen if one of their brothers stumbled acrossed this mess.

"You're right" Zane answered before going to clean up. The sink was easy, just directed the water and let it to the job. The floor was another matter. Not because there was a lot, on the contrary, there was a little amount (fortunately), but rather because it had be smeared all across the floor with their walking. Zane noted that he would need to throughly wash his slippers and clothes and well as Cole's.

On the bright side, all of them knew how to get rid of blood stains in their clothes.

A quick clean up, with the help of Cole (He used only his uninjured arm) and they were good to go. Their foot wear was left behind and their clothes were only stained.

They went to Cole's room (since they were living in the Temple of Airjutsu, each ninja had a room. Whether it was for better or worst remain a mystery).


Aaaaaaaaaand Cut! Now you guys tell me what you think. Please! And I'm still open to requests! Hopefully, part 3 will come soon.

Funny how I was originally just writing Cole cutting himself because he couldn't feel anything despite turning back human. It was more of a desperate attempt to know he was alive rather than depression but oh well.

Night Ninja, can you give me a few ideas for Zane's depression please?

Guess: Sorry for what I'm about to say and I do not mean to offend you but your request had me like WTF? And I'm sorry but 1-That is not something you do with mom and 2-I have no clue how to write that. Sorry.

Until next time
