"I have been worried sick! What did you think you were doing?" Draxum yelled.

"I had no choice, alright!" Sil bit back.

Everyone else huddled outside the kitchen that Sil and Draxum decided to take over when their shouting match began. "You were irresponsible, undisciplined, and have a total lack of stealth skills. You have great power but no means of using them properly and to your wit!" 

Sil rolled her eyes and leaned back into her seat. "With great power comes great irresponsibility," 

"What was that?" the baron growled.

"Oh come on! You throwing around these insults and whatnot won't change the fact that I was caught okay? We both know that is situation is an occupational hazard." Sil answered with a ferocious voice. 

"Di-Sil!" Draxum spewed, quickly correcting himself before accidentally revealing the girl's identity. "You are the Silver Knight. Getting caught should be the last thing to ever happen to you. Thank the mystic forces the artifact fell into the hands of my creations."

"You're creations?" 

Draxum cringed. There remained many things that Sil had yet to find out about his past. "Don't get mad, but you remember my evil warrior scientist phase?" Sil nodded slowly. "Well, those turtles and the rat were the results of that incident all those years ago."

"What is 'that' incident?" Sil tilted her head questioningly.

"Sil! 'THAT' incident, remember? Lab on fire, I was grouchy for three months?"

"Ohhh.... that incident..." she remembered it well, the grouchy Draxum at least. She was the only one that got the grumpy baron to cheer up. What a time. 

"Okay, I'm not mad. Just a little disappointed you didn't tell me until now. Either way, what do you want me to do about this?" she gestured to the silhouette of the group of people outside the kitchen door and also the still-standing fact that the Silver Knight's heist had been foiled. Draxum huffed. Annoyed with their behavior, he called them out, "Quit hiding like cowards,".

The door barged open and in fell the mutant family and two humans. "I reckon you heard all of that?" Sil asked no one in particular. Leo grunted and pushed up from the floor, "Yeah we did. But enough with you asking us questions. How in the universe's name do you two know each other?" 

"I think she made it pretty clear when she said 'Uncle Drax'," the baron sasses. Leo could not believe it. The slider kept glancing back and forth between Sil and Draxum, "But you.... and you... sheep... and you human, how, wha..?"

Out of nowhere, Donnie popped up with Splinter perched on his shoulder. The purple genius grabbed onto Sil's and Draxum's hands, examining them through his goggles, "There does not appear to be any biological sign.... maybe emotional?" Splinter nodded in agreement and sneered at the baron. 

"I adopted her, ratman.." Draxum said, pulling his hand from Donnie's. The unbothered purple genius continued to examine Sil's hair and face.

"Aww, I think it is wonderful that Draxum considers a human as his niece. I'm so proud you are finally coming out of your shell," Mikey sauntered over and hugged the baron, the latter could do nothing lest he faces the wrath of Doctor Delicate Touch. 

"Maybe they are related because of Sil's mystic powers," Raph snapped his fingers as if a lightbulb went off in his head.

"Or maybe, Draxum kidnapped her data very young age and brought her into a life of thievery!" April pointed accusingly at Draxum, Cassandra already drawing out her baseball bat in case she needed to beat the sheepman to a pulp.
