A.N.I have no set number of chapters left. Just what I need to do before the epilogue(which will have a HUGE info drop in the last bit of diaglogue)

The Inconscient Apartment,New Ninjago City,Now

Rick looked at the blond for a few moments,processing his real name.

"Lloyd,huh?" He said,trying the name out,"It suits you Kid," Rick said with slight forced enthusiasm. The two of them were being quite open now.

Lloyd looked up at Rick, "You really think so?" He asked,obviously doubting his own name.

"Yeah," Rick said with genuine enthusiasm this time,he put his arm around Lloyd and pulled him into a half hug. Rick thought for a few moments about how honest Liam or Lloyd or whatever he wanted to be called with him. Lloyd'd told him everything about himself that he remembered,and the one thing he hadn't told Rick caused him great feelings of guilt and when that secret had come out,Lloyd was obviously fearful of what Rick's reaction would be. Rick then thought of how honest Lloyd was with him,and then he thought about how dishonest he'd been with Lloyd because he'd wanted to forget the pain and the guilt he felt. Then and there Rick decided to be as honest with Lloyd as Lloyd had been with him.

"Li-Lloyd?" He corrected himself.

"Yeah," Lloyd looked up at him,

"I realise how much I know about you,and just how little you know about me." He said.

"That's not true,I know lots about you!" Lloyd protested,"You're kind,forgiving,understanding,stubborn,determined,a Cop,have two friends at work..."Lloyd trailed off as he looked at Rick.

"What I meant was,you don't know much about my past. You don't know why I'm so kind and understanding. You don't know why I find it hard to say goodbye to people. You don't know what I've lost..." Rick was crying when he said the last few sentences.

Lloyd was shocked,he'd never seen Rick crying before. Lloyd got up,ran to the bathroom and got a toilet roll,so Rick could wipe his eyes. Lloyd sat on the sofa Rick had originally been on,he sat leaning forwards,his hands clasped between his knees,he had grabbed his dinner and put Rick's next to him. Once Rick had calmed down he looked Lloyd straight in the eyes,which was kinda difficult to do without being creeped out by the boys crimson eyes,but the seriousness of the situation helped Rick with his confidence,as if he stopped now he'd lose his nerve and Lloyd would bug him about it.

"L-Lloyd (A.N. he's stammering,not movie Garmadoning), my mother was one of the most respected members of the police force,she went from newbie to the commissioner's right hand woman in a year and a half." Rick began.

"Why're you telling me this?" Lloyd interrupted.

Rick sent a tiny glare Lloyds way,but then he sighed.

"Because,if I don't open up to you now... I'll never get the nerve to again,and there's something I need to tell you."

Lloyd didn't interrupt again.

"Anyway,my father was one of the best doctors at the Ninjago City Hospital. They were both famous in their own line of work. Myself and Robin looked up to them,we idolized them..." He paused for a moment,stuck in sad memories that he'd rather not drag up,especially not for a child. But there was something about Lloyd that made Rick certain that the boy had experienced worse,even if he couldn't remember it.

"Robin is my little brother. He should be about 17 now... He left to look for Her two months before we met. I tried to tell him that she's been gone for 3 years! She's most likely dead!" Rick sobbed,using more of the tissue. "But... I hope Robin's right. I hope She's still alive. It would crush him if she wasn't. She was kidnapped when they were 13 or changed drastically for me and my brother. I was about 21 when she was kidnapped,just finished Police Academy. After mum and dad died in a car crash when I was 18,I was given guardianship over my..." Rick lets out a choked sob and collapses into tears. The memory of letting his brother go and look for Her was so painful. Lloyd ran over and hugged his friend. Rick hugged him back.

Lloyd pulled out of the hug and sat down next to him.

"What was he like? Your brother?" Lloyd asked gently.

Rick smiled a little.

"He had light brown hair,that was almost always covered by one of his caps. (A.N. baseball cap. Sun cap. Snapback. I've heard them be called many things) His most prized one was given to him by our mother and father as a Christmas present(A.N. let's pretend they have X-mas in Ninjago). It was the last present they gave him. They crashed on New Year's (A.N. this Ninjago does have. Curseworld is set on New year's.) And he had sea blue eyes,and he hates it when people point out his crazy amount of freckles." Rick let out a nostalgic laugh at that. "But... I feel like,I've given up hope on him. Like by taking you in.I've already began to replace and forget about them..."

"No." Lloyd said,Rick looked over at him questioningly, "You haven't replaced them,you're coping by helping me. And you don't need to tell me any more. Tell me more when you're ready to tell me more..." He gave Rick and encouraging smile, "I think we should finish dinner. Then I need a nap,I've got to talk to the Masks tonight,so I'll need to sleep." Rick agreed,and they did just that.

A.N. this isn't as long as I intended,Rick's backstory was longer than expected,so I'll do Lloyd talking to the Gang of Masks tomorrow,along with replies to reviews,because I want to get this content to you ASAP. Sorry it's kinda late. But Brents interview with Tommy Andreasen part 3 is up!
