As the three sat about eating the honey icecream Zane had to say "I am quite surprised, the flavor is quite favorable."

Clara had to chuckle as Zane tilted his head "Did I say something funny?"'

"I'm sorry, but when you said the flavor is favorable it was kind of funny, cause flavor and favorable sound similar." Clara explains.

"Oh, I have accidently made a joke." Zane smiles as Clara chuckles again.

Nya had to smirk at this, she was happy to see Zane getting along with someone else outside the team. 'Does Zane even have any friends outside the group?'

Nya tried to think on this but nothing came to mind.

After finishing their ice cream they headed off to see more of the museum. Clara was a pretty good tour guide and was pretty knowledgeable about the exhibits.

They finally came to the biology section and Clara smiled "Oh I love this part."

"This is where you were able to find the beebats, correct?" Zane pointed to the temporary empty exhibit.

"Yup, I love how they mix live animals with the stuffed, not that I like the idea of using stuffed animals for exhibits. But at least the practice is no longer used."

"Indeed it is quite a cruel practice." he nods.

"So what can you tell us about this place?" Nya asks.

"You sure I'm not boring you, I know I can go on and on for quite a while." Clara frowns.

"Our friend Jay is the same so we are used to such things." Zane replies.

Clara smiles and replies "Well okay, I guess we'll start here."

Out of all the exhibits the biology section was the one Clara was most knowledgeable about.

Nya wondered if Clara could rival Zane in that department but it seemed that Zane was just eager to have someone he could speak to on the same level on this kind of stuff.

They kept going like this till they reached the section about wolves.

"Oh this is one of my favorites." Clara smiles as they stop.

Zane chuckles as he says "I can imagine, you were so intent on that wolf mask I had a feeling wolves would be a favorite of yours."

"You caught me." Clara chuckles back and continued "I've always had a fascination for wolves. Not sure why really."

"Perhaps you see much of yourself in them." Zane suggests.

"I never thought of it that way, but maybe I do." Clara smiles.

The two went on to chat about the wolves, Nya listening, while not too far off from them a small group of people were glaring angrily at them before they started to chat themselves.

"What does that piece of glorified tech think he's doing?"

"Look at him, walking around as if he thinks he's a real person, it's disgusting."

"He's already done his purpose of protecting the city. Why don't the Ninja just shut him down till they need him again?"

Zane felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, his sensors were quite advanced, so while most people, like Nya, wouldn't have heard a word. He had heard single one the group of people had said about him.

But he tried to ignore them, he was used to people's remarks about him being inhuman. And he did not wish to disturb the wonderful atmosphere that he was in.

Though it seemed Clara had different plans "What did you jerkwads say!" she was glaring daggers at the three men who had been talking rudely about him.

Zane and Nya jumped at this, Nya confused on why she was angry and Zane because he didn't think anyone else had heard.

"Um, what do you mean, we didn't…" The leader of the group started when Clara rushed up to them and said "I heard every word you piece of trash, how dare you talk about someone like that. Especially someone who risks themselves to protect ungrateful people like you."

"Oh come on it's not like he cares he's a machine." one pointed at Zane.

"Oh it's on!' Nya shouted as she went to join Clara.

"Nya, Clara please you do not have to do this." Zane jumped in worry as he followed them.

"Don't even start Zane, there's no way you didn't pick up on what they said about you?" Nya frowns at her friend not saying anything.

"Why didn't you say anything Zane?" Clara asks, confused.

"It does not matter, I am just here to enjoy myself and…." Zane starts but.

"You shouldn't even be out in public, you tin can, you're nothing but a tool and nothing more." the third smirked.

"Oh that's it!" Nya launched to attack but Zane held her back.

Clara looked ready to attack as well, but then she smirked as she said "You know it's funny. Because the more you idiots talk the more I see what's wrong with you."

That made them all jump "Nothings wrong with us, you little pain."

Clara glared at this but continued "Says the man who's talking out of jealousy because he's a coward."

People had started coming to see the show and they all oohed at this.

"Jealous, cowards, you're crazy." the leader replies.

"Crazy enough to see that you're so jealous of Zane being a hero and being able to do what you can't that you resort to name calling and petty remarks to make yourself feel good."

The people cheered at Clara's remark as Zane's eyes widened and Nya smirked "Oh, I like her."

"Listen you…" One starts.

But Clara just raised her voice "And while you're here nursing your bruised egos Zane is helping to stop that robbery that just happened, not just him but Nya and I as well. You three think you're such big strong men and deserve everything but you don't even lift a finger to help when it's really needed! So why don't you all make Ninjago a favor and flush those egos down the toilet and get a life!"

The guys were left slacked jawed at this the crowd cheered and Nya laughed nonstop.

Zane just kept looking on in shock 'Did she just truly defend me?'

He never wanted to cause trouble or make others worry about him, but here was someone he barely met and they were willing to stand up for him. Why?

The three men looked on like they wanted to keep fighting, but seeing the crowd taking Clara's side they decided it was best to head out before they got themselves into real trouble.

"Woo, yes I love putting jerks like that in their place!" Clara cheers.

"Me too." Nya smirks as the girls hi fived.

Zane then came up and said "Clara, why did you do that?"

"What do you mean, they were being rude." Clara looked confused.

"No I mean, why did you defend me? There was no need." Zane looked one wide eyed.

"Of course it was needed, Zane no one deserves to be disrespected like that. Especially after everything you and the Ninja do to protect Ninjago. And I don't know where they get off saying you're not alive, you definitely act a lot more sincere than most humans I know." Clara smiles, hoping he understood.

At this, Zane felt something warm in his power source and he couldn't help but reply with "Thank you, I did not think anyone beside my team saw me in such a way."

"Well, they're dumb not to see it." Clara replies, as suddenly she became a bit pale and woozy.

Zane rushed up to grab her as he asked "Are you okay?"

"Ugh, I think I overdid it. The adrenaline's going down and I have some anxiety so yeah. I'm a little out of it." Clara frowns.

Zane eyes widened at this as he said "We shall find you a place to rest."

With that he helped lead her to a bench to sit, all while Nya looked on smiling as she thought 'Hmm, I wonder if there could be something there.' before she followed them.

Ninjago

After resting for a moment and having some orange juice, Clara was feeling better as she said.

"Sorry about that, guess I overdid it." she sighs.

"You were just trying to help. I'm surprised you heard what they said. I'm a ninja and I have good hearing and I didn't hear them." Nya looks confused.

"Selective hearing maybe, also my senses are pretty sensitive themselves benign that I'm on the spectrum." Clara explains.

"You have autism?" Zane looked on curiously.

"Yeah, it's the reason I'm so obsessed with animals and know so much on them." Clara chuckles.

"Sounds like a good thing to have if it helps you in sticky situations." Nya chuckles, remembering Reflectra.

"Oh sticky right, haha." Clara remembered.

"Do you feel better now?" Zane asked.

"Just a bit tired, I hadn't expected all of that in one day." Clara replied.

"No one would." Nya then smirked with an idea. "Hey Clara, how about we all trade numbers. I'd love to hang out sometimes and this way if those guys ever bug you we can come and help."

"You think they try something?" Clara looked worried.

"I believe they may be too fearful to try to mess with you again but perhaps it would be for the best. And I would not mind speaking with you once more. I found our conversations quite entertaining." Zane replies.

Clara flushed at this saying "Really, most people get bored when I ramble on about animals."

"I know the feeling, my brothers are not that interested in such subjects so it is hard to find someone who can appreciate such things." Zane smiles.

"Okay, that be great so…" and with that the three traded numbers.

Clara was excited to of made two new friends, and two of the Ninja no less, but really it was their personalities and not their feats she had really enjoyed.

Later as they were all parting form the museum, the two were nice enough to wait till Clara's ride arrived in case those bullies tried something, they promised to contact each other when they could.

As they waved goodbye to Clara, Nya had to say "So, looks like you made a new friend."

"Yes, but so did you." Zane tilted his head.

"Yeah, but I have a feeling you two are gonna be pretty close." Nya smirks as she walks off.

"Why, do you suddenly have the gift now?" Zane asks as he follows her, Nya chuckles as she just walked on.

Ninjago

Just so you all know, Clara's autism is based on my own.

As autism is different for everyone you might think it is inaccurate,

But remember this is a fictional story so not everything can be accurate. So please be kind.
