So now they know that Bree can see things premonition wise, that has a lot to do with how pissy Bree is with some of the ninja and Wu. If you guys think a different format would be easier to read let me know. I keep submitting one way and it pops up another.

Bree seemed to catch her breath then and pushed away from Cole. Harumi pushed her way in between them to Coles annoyance.

"Again what the hell did you see this time?" Harumi asked her impatiently.

"The usual bull crap. Completely bland futures along with death destruction chaos". Bree said evenly.

"And? Details women!" Harumi pressed.

"Ill tell you later" Bree responded.

"No you can tell us now" Cole interjected himself between Bree and Harumi.

"Piss off dirt bag. I can only see bits and pieces. And it's frustrating. And frequently not even people I know" Bree told him in annoyance.

"What kind of premonition is it, like your mother's?" Misako asked.

Bree raised an eyebrow at Misako. Perhaps Wu and company at least did know her mother. Maybe more than that. But Bree had enough on her plate right now as it is to think about that.

"I don't foresee just general incoming danger like mom. I also see totally benign scenes in the future. Just now I saw a kitchen full of people. But not here... Harumi and I. Nya, Skyler, Misako and the grumpy nindroid Pixal. Alanna was bigger. Walking and talking. Playing with Harumi's daughter and some other children". Bree responded with a dig at Pixal.

Pixal slammed the cups of plain tea she was holding down on the table. Spilling some. Harumi snorted at that.

"Whose kids were they anyways? Maybe we pick up more kids that are descendents of elemental masters" Nya puzzled.

"Not a clue. I didn't recognize them. And I've already seen Harumi's children. They didn't look like them". Bree responded to Nya. "At least I didn't see anything awkward and cringy this time". She shuddered.

"Well they were not my and Zanes children. Nindroids can have all the intercourse we want and it will not result in children" Pixal stated.

"I'm out. I don't need to hear more about my brother's sex life. Awkward and cringy is right" Cole said. With that Cole and Morro both headed back outside. Cole taking the last of the cake. Morro had already snagged leftovers from the fridge. And was pouring cold fried rice into his mouth as he followed Cole out.

"So that's it? You see a possible future with children that can't exist yet" Skyler blurted out uneasily. The very real possibility that not getting this tea meant her and Kai might not have children weighed on them both. Neither had mentioned it to the other ninja. But they were worried.

"No. I see absolute destiny. What is destined to happen and can't be changed. Not as fun as it sounds. I've seen a kid drop an icecream cone hundreds of years in the future. And nothing more. Not exactly relevant" Bree responded.

"Fates can be changed, rewritten. We've seen that" Wu added as he came in a different door to the kitchen. Bree and the others looking up as he entered. Misako handing Wu a hot cup of tea.

"Fate yes, destiny no" Bree said. "The fates themselves tried to alter fate in order to change destiny. And that went terribly".

"I still don't get it" Harumi said. Shifting Alanna to her other hip while she tried to get the baby to eat a bite of fruit.

"Destiny is the end result. The destination. Fate is the road one takes to get there. Fate can and is changed all the time. Sometimes by the three elected fates themselves. Before I was born the fates saw a future destiny that saw them get replaced with new fates. They didn't like that. So they tried to alter destiny. That went all to hell and the end result is why the realms no longer match up time wise". Bree explained.

"Fates alters fate?" Wu asked her.

"Oh. Um what else do you call the three heads of state in cloud kingdom? Oh yes, the master writers officially are called the fates because they are in charge of writing fate" Bree told him. "Shook the snowglobe is what they did".

"We have had dealings with one of the master writers before. Morro too honestly. He was more than willing to re write things in his favor" Wu told her evenly. Not particularly wanting to let Bree know Morro's in depth dealings with the fates.

Bree had gotten up and stood at the stove beside appraising the ingredients. Adding some she handed a few back to Pixal with instructions to chop or grind before adding. Misako list held the out to Bree.

"You've made this tea before, what is a morrigain feather and a water screamer?" Misako asked.

"I don't known the ninjagin words. I'm sorry. Umm black feather. Black bird often in flocks. Big beaks" Bree supplied unsure.

"That sounds like a raven" Pixal said.

"Maybe. If you could show me a picture that would help". Bree answered her. With the nicest ton of voice Bree had ever managed to Pixal so far.

"And a water screamer?" Misako asked almost laughing.

"What do you call a angry half women half fish that swims in the ocean?" Bree said.

"Well that's a mermaid" Misako responded.

"No a really really angry one. She will either sing you to sleep and drown you or just scream till you leave or your eardrums rupture" Bree said.

"That sounds like you" Lloyd quipped referring to Bree yelling at himself and Pixal earlier.

"Stop it Lloyd. That's not helping" Misako scolded him. To Bree she said "that sounds an awful lot like a siren".

"Yes that's it" Bree said happily. "Get those things and the book and we have everything".

"Why do we need the stupid book anyways" Lloyd asked Bree suddenly.

"Because there is an ingredient poured onto a few of the pages that I believe is extinct in the wild" Bree answered him.

"Again why the hell aren't you helping?" Lloyd spat at her.

"I can't go to cloud kingdom and retrieve the book, I've been kicked out twice already for picking a fight with one of the fates. As for the rest, you want me to go cavorting around ninjago alone. Or drag Alanna and Harumi along in a realm infested with Kappa. Or I leave them here with you and you hurt them?!" Not a chance Bree snarled at him.

"We have a djin promise remember. I can't hurt them if I want this fucking tea" Lloyd yelled at Bree. "And beside the fact I wouldn't hurt a baby or Rumi for that matter".

Bree did take notice of Lloyd using Harumi's nick name but she was already half out the door with Harumi and Alanna in tow. Lloyd followed them out, along with Wu. The rest of the ninja stayed in the kitchen but listening at the door.

"I don't understand why you can't send the other elemental master that's uncursed" Harumi asked again.

"Can you fringing drop it?l" Bree yelled at her.

"Whats the big deal? And why are you being so dam stupid?" Lloyd yelled right back in frustration. "Wait..." Lloyd said stopping Bree in her tracks. "You don't want to open your big mouth about who your daughter's father is because his family is here too. What did you sleep with one's of the ninjas dad's or brothers or something as bad?".

"Oh my god no!" Bree wailed. "I just don't want to talk about it ok?".

"Its kind of life or death info Bree" Harumi added more gently this time.

"Its embarrassing and frustrating and I had no control over the stupid things the fates did to make it work" Bree started. She didn't want to finish.

"Again. What the fresh hell are you talking about?" Lloyd asked. At a lower volume this time.

Nya and Skyler came out of the kitchen then. Bree looked up and then realized the rest of the ninja along with Pixal and a few other Bree didn't recognize were sitting on the balcony and along the fountain edge.

"I give up" Bree said quietly. Then more loudly "Fine I give up". She took a deep breath "The fates altered things so I would meet and marry my spouse... Not the person destiny had in mind. They wanted to alter destiny so it worked out better for them. I saw a vision of my future with my family and I was happy, I just didn't see the whole picture to know they were manipulating me. They screwed up my mother's life the same way. She left after she found out not only was she never destined to be with my father. But that he was still in love with the person he was meant to be with".

Wu and Misako both looked horrified. The various ninja shocked. Pixal...unreadable. Bree could never figure her out. Misako started to apologize. But Bree cut her off.

"Its alright. None of you knew. Your lives were drastically changed as well" Bree gestured to Lloyd.

"However, Slate not only knew. But he hid it from me. And lied about the other elemental masters still being alive just like my mom did" Bree said sadly. Taking a now squirming baby from Harumi. Looking up she said "Cole...Slate lied about you and your mom being alive. If I had known she was sick I would have come back in a heartbeat and fixed her. I am so sorry".

"I don't understand" Lloyd asked quietly.

"Oh..." Bree said close to tears. "My mother Rowena and Coles mother Beverley were best friends. Rowena brought me to visit her constantly when I was tiny. I didn't think Cole recognized me at first. But now I suspect my mom had a spell or something to do with that. Slate knew this. Slate knew they were both alive and said nothing".

Cole got up and walked away. Nya stepped in to stop him and he waved her off.

"Just leave me be" Cole said barely suppressing his anger. He walked then broke into a run. Heading for the back deck of the bounty. The rest of the ninja and onlookers watching him go, Jay ready to go after his best friend. Wu stopped Jay, meaning to give the tall man some space.

Bree rocked the baby softly and then continued "Slate was also a master of earth like Cole. Slate knew his family was still alive and he let his own aunt die of something I could have easily fixed just so he could be sure I fell for him and didn't stay in Ninjago for Beverley".

"So you would uncurse him and he could use his powers" Harumi spat viciously.

"I was young and dumb and in love. I will never know if he cared for me or if it was only that". Bree answered her.

Lloyd sat next to Bree on the fountain edge. Morro sitting beside Harumi and for a change she didn't knock him off the seat. The rest of the ninja dispersed giving them all some space.

"In interest of full disclosure here, Wu adopted me legally so I wouldn't go to the orphanage" Morro said breaking the silence.

"This place is worse than the south" Bree joked. "Siblings and cousins everywhere".

"You know we all don't get the other realm jokes right?" Harumi said dryly.

"Does this mean what Wu says is true? And he's your father?" Lloyd asked Bree.

"Possible, maybe even probable if the time lines match up. Or we could be wrong. My mother and Slate were not real big on honesty". Bree replied. "And now Cole is going to hate me for it. Great big old reason I didn't want to discuss the whole mess".

"Would you rather have left and had us not know you were family. Have Cole not know he had family?" Lloyd asked.

"We were not on great terms when we jumped here in this realm Lloyd. And Cole is not going to want to have anything to do with the spouse of his jackass cousin and his jackass cousins kid. We are the literal reason his mom is dead". Bree said sadly.

"No you aren't, you never made her sick". Lloyd interjected.

"I saved the wicked witch of the west here from getting a building dropped on her, I could have saved Beverley" Bree said. Making another reference the others didn't understand. "I went and fixed the other elemental masters and their families on the sly. Or did you all really think some band-aids and then a herbal tea did that".

Morro shrugged his shoulders. Harumi and Lloyd thought on that quietly.

"Do you think you of all people should go talk to Cole? It's not like this hasn't hurt you both". Harumi asked.

"I should. Even to apologise again. But I am half afraid Cole is pissed enough to throw me off the island". Bree replied with a half hearted laugh. Turning to Harumi "Would you go put Alanna down to sleep for me? Bree asked.

Handing the sleeping baby off to Harumi, Bree said as she walked "and don't let the nindroid girl get a hold of her. I can't tell is she wants to snuggle her or throw her in a stew".

"I heard that witch!" A voice came from inside the temple.

"Then stop listening in Pixal!" Bree yelled over her shoulder. As she made her way over to the bounty to where she saw Cole last.
