Chapter 3
"Okay so he just vanished?" April asks confused looking at the turtles after they told her what happened earlier
"Wait Wait Wait." Donnie rushes over to his computer as everyone follows him "If I run the video from shoulder camera though an electrostatic filter we might be able to see what happened to Shredder."
"Come on show my something buddy." Leo murmured while Donnie continues to type uploading the video
Emma holds April hand tightly still a little scared, April looks down noticing the tension in Emma's grip and pats her hair calming her down.
"Look! Right there!" Donnie pointed as he froze the video zooming in on the flash light
Emma looks at the screen of Shredder and quickly hides her face in April's leg shaking in fear as the woman rubs her back in comforted
The frozen video shows the police van and Shredder jumping in the air, between the bus and a flash of light almost having similar to a portal
"It appears to be some kind of residue from a teleportation event. "Donnie mutters to himself while still looking at the screen
"Yeah teleportation event residue man, It's the worst." Mikey chimes in, clearly not knowing what it is
"Does that kind of technology even exist?" Raph scowls
"Baxter Stockman has been working on this kind of tech for years." Donnie shrugs his shoulders
"All that stuff I pulled off of his iPad it was full of information about Shredder and the Foot Clan." April tells them and then gets a frown on her face, "It's was like a virtual playbook. Baxter has to have a backup. And I bet it's on a mainframe from TCRI."
"Donnie I need something." She looks up at the nerd turtle "What do you got?"
Donnie thinks for a second "Wait." He picks up a box on his desk digging around in it looking for something "I know exactly what you need." He then pulls out a usb flash drive "Totally plug and play."
"Perfect." April grins taking it from him.
"We'll go with." Leo volunteers as the other turtles start to follow her "Operate in support."
"Wait." April turns around facing all of them "The suns coming up, you can't go outside you'll be seen." April softens her face sad as Raph sighs frustrated, it broke her heart that the turtles couldn't come with her, that people would judge them just because of the way they looked
April turns to leave but feels a weight on her leg, she looks down to see Emma holding onto her leg her arms wrapped around holding on tight "April please don't go." Emma whimpers fearful
April crotches down to Emma's level holding her hands into hers "Tell you what, how about tomorrow you and I have a girls day just the two of us." April gives Emma a comforting smile "Ok?"
Emma is hesitant but gives her a nod
April gives her one more smile before walking out of the lair, Emma twirls the bottom of her shirt watching April walk away
Without a single word Emma turns and walks away into the mediation room where Splinter was sipping a cup of warm tea
Emma shyly peeks into the room "Um .. Daddy? can I talk to you for a minute?"
Splinter looks up to see his daughter poking her out looking into her eyes he could see the pure fear and worry in her eyes and gestures her to come in with him "Of course sweetheart."
Emma walks in and sits in front of the rat, beflre she said anything Splinter asked "Do you have another panic attack?"
"Yeah." Emma looks down at the ground a little embarrassed and ashamed, Splinter senses his daughter's embarrassment "It's alright child there is nothing for you to be ashamed of." He pats her on her head.
"It's just ... we almost had him and he just disappeared and now he's out there daddy he can now hurt other people." Emma clutches her fist she could feel her eyes glow as the table in front of her starts to shake rapidly, Emma notices and calms down making the table stand still again "S-Sorry."
"It alright." Splinter takes the cups off of the table."
"Daddy I'm scared my powers are getting stronger and harder to stop I-I don't wanna hurt anybody." Emma puts her hands in her armpits looking away scared.
"It's alright I understand that you're upset it's alright but you have to remember that your powers are energized by your emotions, you can't let your emotions overcome you." Splinter takes her hand holding it. "You have to learn to control them do you understand?"
Emma nods understanding, Splinter gives her a kiss on her forehead making her smile for the first time all night "Don't you worry you have me and your brothers to make sure you are safe."
Emma smiles as a creak is heard, she turns around to see Leo standing in the doorway "S-Sorry I didn't know you guys were talking."
"It's alright Leonardo we were just finishing up." Splinter assures him as Emma gets up from the floor walking out of the room
As Emma was walking away her heighten hearing overhears Leo talking to Splinter "Sensei is Emma gonna be ok? I don't know whether you know or not but she had another panic attack."
"I'm aware of it, don't worry my son your sister will be alright."
Emma smiles knowing that her oldest brother was concern for her, she walks into the big area and sees Mikey flying on his board, Donnie drinking from a juice box throwing plastic baseballs at Raph who hits it with a bat
Emm walks up to Donnie who hands her a juice book "You ok now peanut?" Donnie puts a finger on the side of her neck checking her heart rate
"Yeah I'm good now." Emma nods sipping from the juice box
"Oh wassup drone I ain't scared of you." Mikey taunts the drone "Float like a butterfly sting like a bee." Mikey laughs suddenly the drone start to chase him "Ow! Ouch!! AH!!"
"Every second we're done here, Shredder gets more powerful and Mikey gets more annoying." Raph grumped raising his baseball bat
"I heard that!" Mikey calls out as he flew past
"We're training." Donnie throws a ball at Raph who hits it "Sort of, as soon as the sun goes down it's turtle time."
Emma blinks slowly and lets out a yawn tired
"Go ahead and get some sleep peanut, it's not good for your growing body to stay up so late."
Before Emma could whine or say 'But I'm not tired!' Donnie points a finger to the direction of her room "Ah ba ba ba I don't wanna hear it Bed. Now."
Emma pouts knowing she was defeated she gets a hair ruff from Donnie as she walks to her room
"And don't forget to potty before you go to sleep."
"Donnie!!"
Donnie snickers to himself knowing she was embarrassed
Emma hops onto her bed grabbing her giant stuff pink turtle that April had gotten her for her birthday
"Hey Munchkin."
Emma looks up to Leo looking down at her "You ok? I wanted to check in on you before you go to sleep."
She knew how overprotective Leo can be, he was the oldest of the family and she was the youngest so it made sense that he would be the most concern about her, she knew of she told him about her anxiety he would never let her go up top again
"Yeah I'm ok." She gives him a smile
"Are you sure." Leo narrows an eye trying to read her "You know you can tell me."
"Don't worry Leo I'm fine loosing your shell." Emma waves a hand
"Ok that's it you can not hang with Mikey without being supervised." Leo rolls his eyes as he ruffs her hair as he tucked her in "Oyasuminasai akachan no imōto." Leo smiles
(Good night baby sister)
"Oyasumi ani." Emma smiles back as Leo leaves as she falls deep into sleep
(Good night big brother)
...........................................
Leo snores lightly in his bed deep in sleep, he feels something shaking his shoulder he waves his hand annoyed going back to sleep, this time the shaking is harder and quicker. Leo slowly opens his eyes seeing his brothers looking at him with a panic "What? What is it guys?"
"It's Emma! She's having another nightmare!" Mikey looks at his older brother scared grabbing his hand as they all run to their little sister's room while trying to avoid the multiple items like books, toys, and scrolls zipping around in the air.
They find Splinter sitting at Emma's bedside as the little girl flops around in the bed like a fish desperate for water
"Emma Emma sweetheart wake up." Splinter tried to shake her awake but Emma's tosses and turns in her sleep
Down a long dark hallway Emma runs as fast as she cans looking back at a large shadow following her, she trips but quickly gets back on her feet when she jiggles the doorknobs of each door as the screams of agony and pain of the people echo in her ear
She gets to the door at the end of hall but it won't open no matter how hard she tries to tug on doorknob it won't budge
"Hello! Hello!! Please someone help me let me in!! Please!!!" Emma bangs her fist on the door
"There is no use in screaming child no one can here you."
Emma's heart beats hard in her chest as she slowly turns to see Shredder 10 feet away from her
"Stay away from me leave me alone!" Emma places her back against the wall looking at the man terrified
"You should have done what you were told." Shredder speaks coldly "You should of listened like a good little girl, but now you're a bomb down to the last seconds to explode."
Emma starts to hyperventilate "N-No t-that's not true!!"
"You're special child and murderous." Shredder growls stomping slowly towards her getting closer by the second "You'll unlock your true form and you'll be an unmercifully and unstoppable killer without a single emotional thought."
Emma could feel the tears in her eyes as her legs shake
"First you'll start with that stupid reporter."
"Stop it!"
" Then you'll kill your family one ..... by .... one."
"No!" Emma holds her head blocking his voice from her ears."
"And then."
He leans in close to her blocked ear
"You'll kill."
"Everyone."
"GET AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Emma screams blowing Shredder back with the bass in her scream done the long dark hallway
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Emma shoots up in her bed waking up screaming terrified, she gasps for a breath as Leo was the first to grab her shoulders as she scrambled into his arms as the whole family gathers around comforting her.
"Emma it's ok it's ok calm down it's ok."
"Breathe Em it's ok."
"It's ok baby sis I'm here."
"Calm down squirt it was just a dream."
"Shhhh it's alright Sweetheart it's alright you are safe."
Emma cries hysterically as she lays in Leo's arms sobbing scared, Mikey looked at his brothers scared himself as he placed a hand on her head
Leo couldn't do anything but just sit there rubbing her back as the others tried their best to calm her down.
