The girl was reading one of Raph's comics but since she couldn't read she was just looking at the pictures. She flipped though the pages but accidentally ripped one of them.

"Oops." She cringed as she put the book on the couch.

She heard commotion in the sewers, just as she did Splinter was walking towards the source.

He put his finger to his lip telling her to be quiet, she nodded understanding.

As he walked she founded behind him, she saw the brothers shhing each other. She couldn't help but giggle silently.

Donnie suddenly hears breathing and tenses up "Guys we've got a bogey."

Splinter turns on the flashlight in his hand. "Where have you been?!" Splinter shouted, scowling his sons.

"We weren't-" Raph tried to explain but Splinter wrapped his tail around his neck.

"I forgot to soak my retainer!" Donnie tried to sneak off but Splinter flicks his tail making him trip.

"Look, Mikey's sleeping and walking. He's totally innocent." Mikey started to 'sleepwalk' but Splinter caught on and trips him.

"Enough! You disobeyed a direct order. Why did you go above ground? What happened?" Splinter pointed his flashlight at each one of them but no one responded.

"Very well. If that's how it's going to be, to the Ha'shi!!" Splinter declares as the boys groan.

Raph noticed the little girl behind Splinter.

"Ya little snitch." Raph huffed, glaring coldly at her.

"Move Raphael!" Splinter smacked Raph's backside with his walking stick. The red turtle growled at the girl as he rubbed his shell.

"Master Splinter what's a Hashi?" The girl tugged on his robe.

"You'll see." Splinter lead her to the room. "Do you mind helping me?"

The girl gave a little smile as she nodded.

....................................................

"11 hours in the Hashi." Splinter walked towards his sons "Are you sure none of you want to tell me where you were last night?"

"How you holding up, fellas?" Leo asked, balancing eggs on two chopsticks while holding doing a split in the air.

"I ain't break if Donnie ain't breaking." Raph huffed as he balanced on a tricycle, knitting.

"Experiencing intense nausea but not breaking." Donnie pass two ping pongs while standing on a board, Splinter spins it around making him more dizzy.

"Guys? I'm in the zone!" Mikey smiles confident as he does a hand stand upside down on a chair. "There is literally nothing that could break me right now!"

"We'll see about that." Splinter smirked as he clapped his hands twice, the girl stepped out of the shadows with a pizza box.

"Of course, you've all tasted the five-cheese pizza." Splinter persuades "But this, cheesemongers have speculated of its existence for centuries."

Splinter flips the pizza box opening revealing a mouth watering cheese pizza.

"Da Vinci's original masterpiece. I submit to you... ...the 99-cheese pizza."

"Oh! It's not possible." Mikey looked at the pizza in love.

"Mikey, it's a trap! A pizza with that variety of cheese is a culinary impossibility!" Donnie begged Mikey won't squeal.

"Enjoy sweetie." Splinter nodded at the girl, she picks up a slice.

"Pss let me get some just one bite." Mikey pleaded as he sweat from the pressure and hunger.

The girl blinks before taking a bite out the pizza, she stares off into space as her eyes grow bigger from the flavor. She then eats the slice in three large bite as the sauce was all over her face.

"I suggest you tell me now before she eats your dinner." Splinter raises an eyebrow

He picks up a slice walking towards Mikey.

"Shall I list the ingredients?"

"No."

"Cheddar"

"Provolone"

"Mikey, don't you do it!"

"Asiago"

"Keep it together!"

"Taleggio"

"I don't even know what that is."

"Mozzarella of course."

"All right, all right, all right! We left the lair because the Foot were taking hostages and we kicked some serious butt, and there was this girl named April O'Neil who took our picture, but we took care of it." Mikey talks very fast giving in to the interrogation.

"Idiot." Leo sighs in defeat.

"Oh, no, my worst fears have been realized." Splinter said with a scared worried look.

"Don't worry about it. Donnie erased the picture! We're not in danger." Leo reassures his father.

"No. It's April O'Neil who is in danger!" Splinter glared. "Find the girl. Bring her here." The girl slowly takes the pizza out of Splinters hand, offering it to Mikey.

"Sorry Mikey." The girl gave a sorry look.

"Aww it's ok curly fry." Mikey ruffed her hair, he then took a bite.

....................................................

Raph was on his way out of the door when he saw the girl reading his comic.

"Aye give me that!" Raph snatched it away from her. "Where'd you get this?"

The girl pointed to a doorway.

"That's my room." Raph crosses his arms, angrily glaring at her. He than noticed a ripe in the comic.

"Did you do this I swear I ought give you a wedgie-" Raph ranted before taking a deep breath "Forget this." He started to walk away.

"What's a wedgie?" She asked confused.

Raph suddenly stopped and got an evil smirk on his face, he knew how to teach her a lesson and how to keep her scared of him.

"Well you see its- Nah I cant tell you its big kid stuff." Raph shoos it off.

"Please I really wanna know please please please." The girl begged.

Raph grew an evil smile.

"Ya really wanna know?" Raph asked.

The girl happily nodded.

"Alright but remember you asked me." Raph smiles "Now turn around."

The girl waddled around.

"And stay perfectly still." Raph cracked his knuckles reaching for her.

The girl stands patiently waiting, she crossed her eyes as she felt a sharp pain underneath her while being lifted off the ground.

"Ouch it hurts." She kicked her legs but they never reach the ground.

"And if I ever catch you in my room or touching my stuff next time I won't be so nice." Raph bounced her a couple of times before letting go storming off.

Leo walked in seeing her on the ground.

"Hey you ok kiddo?" He picks her up off the ground, dusting her off.

"Yeah my booty hurts." She rubbed her bottom in pain.

It didn't take long for Leo to put two and two together of what Raph did.

"Leo why is Raph so mean?" She asked, crossing her arms with a mad look.

Leo just gave a big sigh "Raph just acts mean because he doesn't know how to show how much he loves someone."

Will you teach me how to kick his butt." She asked, hoping he would say yes.

"No I'm not gonna do that." Leo shook his head"But I will help you get closer to him." Leo booped her nose "I gotta go we have to go pick up a ... friend." He started to walk away.

"Leo?"

"Yes?" Leo turned around.

She pulls out the button that he gave her.

"What does this mean?" She pointed to a Japanese word 家族

Leo smiles at her curiosity "That is 家族 it means family."

"What's family?" She asked.

"Well a family means people who love and look out for each other no matter what."

"Like us?"

Leo was though off, she thought of them as family and that warmed his heart to the max.

"Yeah like us." Leo smiles as he kissed her forehead as he walked out.

The girl looked down at the pin, smiling a big smile.

....................................................

The girl laid on ground bored out of her mind, she wanted to do something but she was afraid if she touched something Raph would give her another 'wedgie'

She turns her head seeing a book on the ground. She just stared at the book with a blank stare. Suddenly the book moved an inch. She perks up, walking towards the book. She picks it up confused. She focused for a second and the book flys out of her hand on to the floor.

"Welcome to my crib girl." She heard Mikey say.

She stands up and walks towards them.

"Where are we?" The woman asked.

"Hey, it's our Fortress of Solitude."

"Our Hogwarts."

"Our Xavier Academy."

"Our next generation, state-of-the-art WonderDome!"

The woman took a whiff of the air

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

"No." Mikey lied with an awkward smile.

"Technically, yes." Donnie came clean.

"Yeah. Yeah, it's a sewer." Mikey sighed in defeat that they were caught, he lifts the bag from over her head as she saw that they were in fact in the sewer.

"You brought her here." Splinter got her attention "April."

Splinter?" The woman stepped forward towards him.

"How does she know his name?" Donnie asked confused.

"Did you tell her his name?" Leo looked at him.

"Maybe she's clairvoyant." Donnie suggests.

"Maybe she's a Jedi!" Mikey bounced in excitement.

The girl came closer observing April, she had never seen her before and look at her with wonder.

"Come closer. It's been a long time" Splinter smiles, motioning her to come closer "Mmm. You always did have your father's eyes."

"This is crazy." April shaking her head, not wanting to believe it. "I don't understand."

"Don't be afraid. All will be made clear." Splinter assured her.

The girl let out a light sneeze alerting everyone in the room.

"Hey when did you get here?" Leo smiles looking behind him.

"I didn't even hear you come in." Donnie looked amazed "Thats impressive."

"She's a ninja already, next I'm gonna teach how to do a round kick!" Mikey squeals excited.

April notice the little girl who looked at her and hide behind Leo's leg, wrapping her arms around it.

"Hey it's ok don't be shy." April crouched down to her level giving a warm smile. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

The girl peeked a look at her for a second, she slow started to walk towards her.

"Your pretty." The girl pointed at her smiling. "Thank you." April smiled "You are too." She booped her nose the girl covered her nose as turned bright red from the compliment.

"Why did you bring me here?" April asked the rat master.

"To find out who you told of our existence." Splinter said.

"Nobody that believed me, except for Eric Sacks." April explained.

No one noticed when the little girl tensed up at the sound of that name, Donnie's monitors started to glitch.

"Sacks. Just as I feared. Sacks is not a friend." Splinter sighed "His soul has been poisoned by the influence of a dark master."

"The Shredder."

As soon as the girl heard that name she let a blood curdling screaming that was so high pitch they all had to cover there ears.

She starts to panic as she runs to the wall.

"I have to go I can't be here." She pounded her tiny fist but they didn't do anything.

"Hey Hey calm down sweetie it's ok." Donnie picks her as she tries to get out of his grip.

"He's gonna get me if he knows what I did!" The girl kept reaching for the door.

April looked at for a second before grabbing her phone searching for pictures.

"I knew you look familiar." April looked up "Your that missing girl that escaped from Manhattan Psych."

"Manhattan Psych?" Raph raises an eyebrow "I told you she was crazy."

"They were under investigation for experimenting on the patients and just two months it was suddenly destroyed from the inside and outside no survivors."

"It's my fault." The girl twiddled with her thumbs.

They all look at her with confusion.

How did a small girl Cause such a big explosion?

"So what did you do?"

"I did something bad."
