Typically the night Jay forgot his medication was the night that he woke up almost every hour on the hour, feeling like someone was poking him with hot knives repeatedly. It took him a while to realise he had forgot to take his meds which he saw were typically on the opposite side of the room. The pain he felt, was threatening to come back with a vengeance so he hopped out of bed and strode over to the furthest wall to retrieve them. He supported himself on the wall as he drank the morphine and washed the tablets down with water, the pain was a constant reminder of how close he had been to dying, a thought he didn't want to relish.

He carefully walked back across the room to his bedside but he was beginning to feel weak, he stumbled a bit on his way which was odd and he became aware of spots in his line of sight. He never made it to his bed though, as he blacked out near his tray table and ended up falling into it as his legs gave way underneath him. The tray table upended and toppled over where it landed on his head with a sickening crack, the whole incident caused an almighty loud crash that pretty much woke everybody up on board even the heaviest of sleepers namely Cole was woken too.

Jay was out cold and sprawled on the floor when Zane rushed in to the infirmary, Cole poked his head around the infirmary door and said quietly "what the hell was that?"as he strained to look around the room in his sleepy state, his eyes eventually settled on to a still form on the floor, partially covered by a tray table. Cole laughed a little and shook his head as he approached Zane and offered to help.

"Why is he so stubborn Zane?, I kinda feel sorry for him he can't seem to get a break at the moment".

"Here let me help you Zane, 2 is better than one after all" as Cole lifted Jays long legs and Zane grabbed the uppermost portion of his unconscious body, they cautiously worked together to get Jay back in to the bed, once that was done, they lifted up the bed bars so he wouldn't fall out.

"I calculate it will be a long night for me as he will require neurological observations for the next few hours following trauma to the skull" Zane stated as his cyan eyes scanned for any other damage. He gently pulled open one of Jays closed eyelids and pointed his finger at the pupil to check for reaction times and to assess for any intracranial bleeding, he continued to the other eye before checking Jay's responses to voice and pain. Once he had completed all of these observations he looked back over at his brothers now standing by the door.

"You sure?", "I mean, it was only a little bump to the head" Kai whispered as he looked at Cole for reassurance.

"My falcon vision feedback saw the tray table hit him after he passed out, he inadvertently pulled it onto himself upon his descent to the floor, so technically he has 2 bumps to his head, possible concussion I would say" Zane replied.

"I will keep a watchful eye on him, please go back to bed I will notify you if anything changes in due course" Zane tucked Jay back in as he turned to Cole and Kai and motioned towards the door.

Jay woke up roughly 20 hours later he didn't feel like he'd slept particularly well and a throbbing headache woke him from his slumber. "Mmmmm….what time is it?" He stretched and yawned feeling somewhat unrefreshed. He looked around and saw no one, he looked out of the window and saw how dark it was "Wha…did I sleep the whole day?"

Zane walked in happy to finally see Jay awake, he gave Jay something to eat and drink and explained the events of the night before, Jay didn't remember a thing except getting out of bed for his meds everything after that was foggy. He was sure he could remember being prodded and poked though throughout the night but couldn't be sure. Zane was aware that Sensei Wu had not been to see Jay for a few days and thought it appropriate to explain that he had gone on a journey of enlightenment to the west of Ninjago and would be back within 12 days.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Surprisingly better, but I feel weak at the same time…..well I have, since leaving the hospital actually" Jay stated nonchalantly and shrugged his shoulders.

Zane frowned and seemed perplexed about his brother or more specifically his patient's current predicament he couldn't quite shake the feeling that something wasn't right about Jay, but he continued to monitor him over the next few days, he noted that although his health was improving his appearance was paling day by day and his strength was waning.

The next 6 days whizzed past quickly, each day the same as before, the ninja were becoming stronger as a team although one of them could only watch the sparring from the side lines. Jay had his own exercises to complete which left him tired and breathless but they were improving his lung capacity on a day to day basis.

Cole walked into the tv room and slouched on the chair near to Kai with 2 bottles of ice cold water thanks to Zane. "Phew that training session was hard, hey Cole?".

"Yeah I know right"

"What do ya say guys, Misako said we can go to the cake shop, they've got a promotion on today, it's half-price Tuesday" Cole said excitedly.

"What you mean…dirt brain; is that YOU want to go to the cake shop…huh did I get it right?" Kai mocked.

"Whatever fireboy, if you don't wanna come you don't have to besides we can get off the ship for a few hours" then motioned to Jay who was sitting on a beanbag and whispered "I think Jay would like it too, considering he's been cooped up in the infirmary for 10 days….look at him he looks miserable."

"Yeah ok you got me, let me get ready…..oh and someone's gonna need to ask Zane, he gets very 'mother hen like' over Jay" He laughed.

Both Cole and Kai decided to ask Zane in front of Jay for added emphasis, to which he simply replied "Yes, an outing would do him good"

So off they went, the Bounty was lowered to allow for ease of access being as Jay couldn't jump around as much as before. They all walked off into the city trying to find this amazing cake shop Cole had heard of which wasn't all that far from where they were currently located, it was 3 blocks away.

Jay trailed behind after the final block and motioned his brothers to carry on as he needed to sit for a moment, however he couldn't find a seat so he rested against a metal street light which was also housing a large transformer. The moment he touched it he received a massive jolt of pain as the entire electrical current from the light network, power grid and transformer made its way into his body via his hand. His hair stood on end and his eyes from corner to corner were glowing with pure electricity, there was no pupil or iris to see just electricity where his eyes should be.

Jay felt absolutely amazing better than he had felt in years, and yet he was scared about this new problem, but as per typical Jay he pushed it to the back of his mind until he could work it out for himself. He looked down for a couple of seconds and felt like he was back in Cyrus Borgs tower and hooked up to his virtual world machine, all around him were raw currents of electricity surging beneath the city, all strangely converging into this pole….that he was still touching.

Jay looked up and noticed his brothers coming back up the street with their cake boxes and bags and called to them, they rushed over and were startled when they saw his hair standing on end, when they looked into his eyes both brothers looked at Jay in stunned silence, Kai was so shocked he inadvertently dropped his cake boxes to the floor and stood there with his mouth agape as he fumbled around and attempted to picked them back up again without tearing his gaze away.

"J….Jay, your eyes man, what happened? Are you ok?" Kai asked once he had composed himself.

"What? what's wrong with my eyes? You're just jealous Fireboy because mine have changed colour!" Jay laughed completely oblivious as to what they were both gawking at.

Cole was completely bewildered; he was both amazed and scared at what Jays' eyes looked like at this very moment. To Cole it felt like a scene from a horror movie when a demon takes over some one's mind and body, but he shook that thought out of his head otherwise he might end up sleeping with one eye open and his dagger sheath under his pillow for added protection.

"Err J…..Jay, it….err looks like you've had enough excitement for one day, so what do you say we…err go back to the bounty?" Cole said whilst looking oddly perplexed with a look of uncertainty etched on his face.

"You need to see this Jay, it's kinda well...worrying and we need answers maybe Zane can help" Kai said.

"Yeah, yeah fine whatever cool, let's go, I'm feeling hungry…REALLY hungry and energised all of sudden, I feel like I could run a marathon or something" he giggled and jumped around a bit like an excited child. He still had his hand on the metal pole seemingly unaware that he was absorbing power from it and all other large electrical devices in the vicinity. No pedestrians noticed as it was broad daylight, the only sounds that could be heard were the honking of cars due to the traffic light signals being out and nearby transformers shorting out and sparking.

They reached the Bounty exceptionally fast, both Kai and Cole were breathless trying to keep up with Jay, they could have sworn that he was so fast he became a blur at one point before he stopped and got on board.

Cole, and Kai frog marched Jay to the infirmary and motioned Zane to come over quickly, they were unsure about this new problem with Jay, concern was growing as to what effect it would have on his body and his general safety. The eyes...Jay's eyes were the first priority that Cole mentioned, he was shaking and unsure what do about it and he became angry that Wu wasn't here to explain, Misako was about as useful as a chocolate teapot Cole thought. Jay was awestruck with how his eyes looked it made him feel like a superhero...after all, he had the energy of one.

Zane took over and briefly looked into Jay's eyes without touching him and then sent his falcon to pass an urgent message to Sensei Wu asking for advice; that is if the falcon could find Wu in time. As luck would have it Jay's eyes reverted back to grey within the hour and the only difference in him was hyperactivity. He had his usual talkative side back and his appetite had increased exponentially, he was going back for second servings, until he was completely full whereby he plonked himself in front of the television and looked around at everyone still sitting at the table.

"What?" he said nonplussed.

"Nothing...Jay just happy to see your appetite has increased" Kai shouted across the table.

"Hospital food that bad eh?" Lloyd said, asking what he thought was a good question considering he'd never had it.

After dinner the pots were cleared away by Misako and Nya, the boys all retired to the tv room to join Jay when Cole suddenly thought a night out would be a good idea.

He decided to ask Kai, Lloyd and Zane and then asked Jay on his way back to the infirmary, "Well considering you're feeling a lot better now what would you say to a night out?", "my treat" he added with a wink and a nudge.

"I was planning on going on Thursday night, the admission is cheaper" he laughed nervously as he awaited Jay's response.

"Yeah, why not…we're all single anyway, what's the worst that could happen? We all get shit faced" Jay bit his knuckle as he tried not to laugh.

"Or we get lucky, can't tell you how long it's been since I've had a girlfriend" Cole replied slightly embarassed at his own honesty "anyway it'll be good for us, call it a team bonding exercise."

"Yeah why not! it'll be fun so count me in" Jay replied enthusiastically.
