"Ninth century Japan....And evil warlord ruled the land.He poisoned the water supply,bringing on the dark ages.Death and disease and suffering ran rampant.Not unlike the Foot Clan and what they'd like to do to our city.."Eric mentions walking behind us left and right,I try to shake off the green in my vision but wouldn't take off

"Then one day,a hero arose.A great alchemist discovered the antidote to the warlords poison.The cure all...for his evil."Eric says,we turn to him while April looks at me

"You okay?"She ask while I nod

"Y-Yeah..."I lie,she nods looking back at Eric

"Your father and I were trying to recreate that cure all.We developed a mutagen capable of stimulating self repair on a cellular level."Eric finishes while I look up to him,seeming he catches my attention

"You got soothing in yo----"

"What were you going to do with it?"I ask him,interrupting his point out of my eyes.He leans closer looking at my eyes,I close my eyes waiting for a response

"Imagine New York City,being victim to a chemical attack.This mutagen would be able to reverse its effects.It would save the city,it would save the people.Those test subjects,those turtles..running in their blood is the last of this precious mutagen.And up until a few months ago,I thought we failed.I thought they died in the fire..How...How could they have lived?"He ask us,I open my eyes feeling my vision become clearer.I glance at Apeil who nods

"Because we saved them..."I reply

"Of course you did..April,(Y/N)..the mutagen possesses powers beyond our wildest hopes.Whatever resources you need,I'm here..."He hands me his business card,I slowly take it out of his hands.Biting my tongue slightly

"Who says I'm gonna be snitching"Was relating in my head,I look at it a bit closer.Closing my eyes at this moment

"Let's work together.We'll find them.The course of human history may depend on it..."He reminds,I look up opening my eyes slightly

"I'll show you o---"

"What if there was a possibility on a human trying it out.Have you tested the side effects there?"I ask,he turns towards me once more

"Possibly the same side effects on the turtles..Depending on the amount of usage.Can I ask why you might ask?"Eric ask,I shake my head smiling nervously

"Oh,seeming if we do catch these creatures.I want to know how it would respond to a human."I explain randomly walking away,he leads us both out of his mansion.

-

"Found anything?"I ask April,who was reading through the notes of her dad's notebook.I was busy searching clues in the computer about the recent news

"No..."She replies,I go to 'Google' searching up 'vigilante news in New York City..'.I press the third link before seeing the screen start to static a bit

"Wh--?"

"Bam!Youve been hacked!"I hear the familiar voice,while I cross my arms trying to hold back a laughter

"By Donatello!Remember me?Turtle.Four ey---"

"Purple,we get it!"I say towards the screen causing April to look up at me

"But enough about me.We told you we'd find you!Meet us here"He orders showing a blue screen with the text written '4th AVE. & 12th ST.COME ALONE'.I nod writing it down on a notepad I found nearby.

"And come alone with your buddy there..Or..Or else we're...You shall be punished and stuff"He tries to threaten,while I giggle a bit seeing April sit next to me.The computer screens turns back to normal,I show her the notepad as she nods

-

We climb up the same roof from previously,empty and the lights were on.We glance at each other before I look around

"Hello?"April calls out

"You told us to come here..."I add in

"We didn't bring anyone else with us I did exac--"Hearing a thud behind us,I turn around quickly seeing Michelangelo behind April

"Okay!Are you April O'Neil,with her overprotective friend (Y/N) (L/N)?"He ask while I roll my eyes

"I'm not over protective!"

"Initialing retinal scan."I hear Donatello voice come towards us,with a bright light blinding us

"Scanning,scanning,scanning,scanning.Scan complete.Its them.Its them!Guys,it's them!"He informs loudly,we back away to bump into Leonardo.Who wraps his arm around our neck

"Of course it's them,Donnie.Hey..Really glad you could make it."He greets while he lets go of us,April grabs my shirt while I cross my arms

"Hey.Theres someone important we want to introduce you to,but first---"My vision was covered up with a fabric bag covering my face.

-

"Aw,yeah,welcome to my crib,ladies..."Mikey I frond while I sigh

"I'm sure feeling welcomed here already.."I say sarcastically trying to have a look around

"Where are we?"I ask squinting my eyes,seeing lights of computer screens in front of me

"Hey,in our Fortress of Solitude."

"Our Hogwarts."

"Our Xavier Academy."Donnie informs while I roll my eyes with the names both him and Mikey came up with

"The next generation state of the art WonderDome!"Mikey yells out while April shakes her head

"Ugh..are we in the sewer?"She ask

"No...."Mikey says with a confused tone in his voice

"Technically yes."Donnie corrects

"Yeah..yeah it's a sewer"Mikey gives in,feeling the bag slowly get removed.Taking a look around seeing all kinds of gadgets and the computers from earlier.Before April nudges me while I look in front of us seeing the rat

"You brought us here,April,(Y/N)....."April widen her eyes while I take a step forward

"Splinter?"I ask slowly walking up to him

"How does she know his name?"Donnie ask looking at his brothers while Leo steps forward

"Did you tell her his name?"He ask

"Maybe she's clairvoyant."

"Maybe she's a Jedi.."Mikey whispers while I smile a bit at the guess.Turning back to Splinter,stopping at my tracks a bit

"Come closer."He whispers,I nod walking close to Splinter smiling a bit

"It's been a long time..."

"It has..."I mumble while he takes a good look at me

"You always did have your mothers eyes.."He compliments while I give him a confused look

"My mother?"I thought to myself,before looking at him without the expression

"I don't understand..."

"Don't be afraid..All will be made clear."

"This is crazy.."I mumble covering my mouth,he extended his hands while I slowly hug the rat.Smiling,while April joins the hug of Splinter smiling with us too.
