Chapter 53: Jamie Meets Each Member

Slash and Raph fist bumped as they all met up with each other.

"Raphael, good to see you, brother, and the rest of you. Turtles, and new girl, meet my team, dedicated to fighting the Kraang. The Mighty Mutanimals! Ya already know my second in command," Slash introduced.

That's when LeatherHead came up on the edge of the roof.

"LeatherHead!" Mikey yelled as his eyes lit up and he hugged his gator friend, which really warmed Jamie's heart.

"Heh heh, it's good to see you, too, Michelangelo. All of you," LeatherHead responded.

Donnie couldn't help but stare at Dr. Rockwell, who was picking his fur and eating what he got.

"And what, dear boy, are you staring at?" he asked a little harshly.

"Doctor Rockwell?" Donnie asked astonishingly.

"Indeed! The Kraang experimented on my mind, giving me psychic powers and accidentally returning my vast intellect in the process!" Rockwell explained then blew a raspberry.

"Rockwell's the brains of the team. And this is the final member of the Mutanimals," Slash explained then introduced the pigeon mutant.

"Pigeon Pete? The world's most useless mutant?" Raph insulted.

"Hey!" Pigeon Pete yelled.

"Raph, don't be rude," Jamie replied as Pigeon Pete flew toward them and crash landed.

"I've toughened up a lot since the last time you saw me! I was just a pigeon-boy, now I'm a pigeon-man. I'm the team spy!" he announced when he got up.

"More like decoy," Raph muttered.

"Ooh, bread!" Pigeon Pete exclaimed when Slash threw a piece of bread and chased after it.

"Okay, I hate to be the odd one out, but I'm new to this. So..." Jamie said.

"Oh yeah. Each of us have been affected by the Kraang. Rockwell was a human scientist until he was turned into a mutant monkey and experimented on by Dr. Falco and the Kraang. Pigeon Pete was a regular pigeon until mutated and was prisoner along with Mr. O'Neil. LeatherHead used to go on a rampage towards everyone because of how he was experimented on by the Kraang. But he found a friend in Michelangelo and became the turtles' first ally out of all of us. And I wasn't always named Slash. I used to be called Spike and was Raph's pet until I was mutated and the ooze made me go nuts, almost killing the turtles. But I've changed and targeted the Kraang since then," Slash explained.

"I may not have been there, but I can tell y'all have overcome many challenges together," Jamie smiled, which Slash returned.

"Some leader, Slash. Using your teammate as bait!" Leo interrupted.

"You got a problem with that, Leonardo?" Slash growled.

"You attacked us. You tried to destroy us!" Leo argued.

"I wasn't right in the head then. It was the mutagen!" Slash insisted.

"He did help us, and everyone deserves a second chance," Mikey replied, but Leo still looked unconvinced.

"Yeah, Leo. I could've been a threat when we met. But y'all opened the door for me to come into your lives. And it wasn't just because April knew me; I know that for sure. Please don't shut that door," Jamie responded.

"We trust him with our lives," LeatherHead replied, resting his hand on Slash's shoulder, but Leo's expression remained the same.

"Come, turtles and young lady. Meet our benefactor. Then you will surely change your mind, Leonardo," LeatherHead continued.

Leo sighed and answered, "Fine. But if this is a trap, your shell is mine, Slash."

"By the way, who is this girl?" Rockwell asked.

"Oh. This is Jamie, she's my girlfriend," Raph answered.

"Really. Well, congrats brother," Slash smirked.

They fist bumped, causing Jamie to giggle. They followed the Mutanimals, but Slash thought he saw something, but he ignored it and went back with the others.

A/N It's a sketchy start, but we can hope and pray things will work out between Leo and Slash.
