After Blue and I got back together, our love grew stronger, like an immovable boulder. We did so much together as a couple—I felt like we were like Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. I knew I sounded gushy but I didn't care. I couldn't even describe the feeling; it happened so fast and I loved every second of it. Blue and I were practically inseparable. We trained together, we patrolled the streets together, had late-nights Space Heroes marathon every week. Sensei was so happy for us, he was a little easier on us during our training sessions.

Though I couldn't say the same for the others...

Yeah, plus Tania and April were training with us now. And to be honest, I was training them to be better kunoichi's. Since I'm the best at stealth and everything that a kunoichi requires, Sensei asked me to help the girls. We ran around the city late at night, I taught them how to use the Tanto correctly, along with many other weapons. But still, I didn't let them use any actual weapons. I wanted them to properly learn how to defend themselves with hand-to-hand combat before they had to use anything lethal.

Okay, I know it's super harsh, but I just want them to reach my level, is all. I know April and Tania are gonna reach my level.

One day, I hope.

We were fighting a bunch of Kraang in an alley. Tania and April took a night off since they trained hard all week and I felt like they deserved it. Besides, the Kraang are just child's play and I haven't broken a single sweat tonight. I don't think they understood the concept of hand-to-hand. But to be fair, I did have an advantage over them, what with being part-vampire, part-ghost, and a former assassin in the Foot Clan.

"When fight is included, the ones called the turtles and Sexy Baby are defeated by Kraang." one of the droids said making me to slap my forehead. "This is ridiculous!" I exclaimed and threw a shrunken.

"I'll save you, Raph!"

"You'll save?!"

I turned around, finding Blue slicing a Kraang in front of Mikey. "You're safe now." he said heroically, and I raised an eyebrow, making a face as I turned back to fight. He just wanted to help Mikes, I assumed and twirled my gun on my index finger. I raised it up to a bunch of Kraang and smirked. "Say goodnight!"

Blue flipped in front of me and sliced my target. Turning to my side, he gave me one of his sexy smiles. "You're safe now, my lady..." Blue said and I rolled my eyes. "I could've handled it all on my own, you know." I retorted angrily and crossed my arms. Blue didn't say anything as he flipped away, and I debated whether or not I wanted to kill him or kiss him until I ran out of breath.

Is that crazy or am I just intensely in love with him a little too much?

"Donnie! Behind you!"

D turned back, facing the wall and raised an eyebrow. "The wall?" he asked, confusion evident on his features as he turned back again, only to find Blue slicing yet another Kraang. My boyfriend flipped backwards and took one of his perfect heroic poses and placed his katanas on his back.

But then I saw his eyes glancing up at the roof above us.

Suspicious, I followed his trail and looked up to find Karai and Danny spying down on us. They dashed away and I turned my eyes back to my so-called faithful boyfriend, eyes narrowed.

"Uh...what the heck was that?" Donnie asked in confusion and I crossed my arms. "Yeah, you trying to impress us? 'Cause it totally worked!" Mikey beamed and squished Blue into a hug. Yeah, like that would happen, Mikes. And why would he do that when he knew Karai might've attacked him at some point?

Unless...

No, no Rowan. Think straight. Blue loves you, and he made it perfectly clear to ya, a small voice said inside my mind while I shook my head.

Growling silently, I faded into my ghost form and flew up to the roof, finding Karai and Danny chatting. I landed, turning back to my normal form and crossed my arms. "I'm going to assume you have a good reason for spying on us, Karai." I spat the name like it physically wounded me, annoyed but very pissed.

Both of them turned around and their eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. Karai slid her mask off and she gave me a crooked grin. "Rowan. Long time no see, huh? Nice to see you again." she said teasingly while Danny smiled goofily. "Yeah. Long fucking time. What do you want? Don't think we didn't saw you." I replied at the same tone, narrowing my eyes at her.

She laughed. "Ah, yes. I saw Leo and his brothers. You were fighting a bunch of robots?" she asked. "None of your business." I retorted. "Oh come on, Rowan. You know how curious I can be." Karai said and Danny glanced at her surprisingly.

"That's because I know how you can fucking be, and I'm warning you to stay away from the turtles. Especially Leo." I replied, not wanting to say my boyfriend's nickname to her. Karai folded her arms across her chest. "Oh? You have feelings for Leo? And I'm not promising anything to a traitor." she said and I narrowed my eyes again. "Get lost Karai and never come back. Last chance." I spat and walked away, clenching my hands.

No One's POV

Danny stared Rowan's retreating form with a dreamy smile and wondered why this beauty belonged to one of his enemies.

Actually, his master's enemies.

Scarlet red hair glowed under the bright lights of the city and flew in the wind as she walked away, and her Tanto sword whistled as her form became fuzzier and hard to see, a sweet musical sound to his ears. His heart raced and heat rushed to the apples of his cheeks, a feat no one had ever accomplished until he had met the girl. He had to admit.

This girl stole his heart.

Karai turned her head to her partner, her eyes roving around his lovesick eyes, that dreamy smile plastered on his face, and rolled her eyes skyward. She didn't need to ask whether or not he found the former assassin attractive. It was a fact Karai knew ever since she met Rowan. A small part of her, buried too deep down to dig back up again, had always envied the scarlet haired girl, but only because Karai back then didn't have something special about her hair to make her seem noticeable. The only other person who could rival Rowan and Karai combined in the looks department was Jewel, and people only found her more attractive because she was claimed to be more exotic and cultural. Whatever the hell that meant. Karai briefly remembered that she and Jewel had tried to convince Rowan to go out for modeling but the girl declined and dismissed that it was a waste of time and energy.

Stop remembering those things! You and Red are now enemies and you have to forget everything from the past! she scolded herself and forcefully shoved all of the memories away. That was in the past now, she, Rowan, and Julie weren't friends anymore and Rowan was a deceitful traitor. She smirked at Danny, who seemed to be out spaced. "So you like her, eh?" Karai teased with a crude smirk. The boy turned to her with wide eyes full of shyness and question. "W-what? No... No I'm not!" he protested, cheeks flushing a deep red color.

Karai chuckled. "How could I've not see this?! You're in love with Rowan!" she then said and her smirk grew. Danny glared at the black haired girl with venom in his eyes and he crossed his muscular arms over his chest. "Okay, maybe I'm in love with Rowan, but that doesn't mean you're not in love with Leonardo." he shot back, and Karai's eyes widened and the back of her neck warmed, her face flushing an uncomfortable shade of pink. "No I'm not. He's an enemy whose master killed my mother when I was a baby!" she retorted coolly as she turned a heel and walked away.

"Oh, and if you wanna know, Rowan and Leo are dating." Karai called over her shoulder, and Danny's eyes widened to saucers, his heart dropping to the pit of his chest, an unfamiliar sense of rage coursing through his blood vessels, blood afire.

"WHAT?!"

Rowan's POV

When we finally got back to the lair, Blue and Raph excused themselves into the dojo so they could get in a little more training for our next patrol. That was bullshit because I knew that wasn't the reason they wanted to train.

They wanted to talk.

And I've always known ever since that night Leo never stopped thinking about Karai; I knew he still liked her even when he told me that he loved me and that Karai meant nothing to him. I wanted to just forget about it and I wanted to believe him, but my mind was taking me back there, back to that night, and I just couldn't get it out of my head. I couldn't trust me. I want to but I couldn't!

I need Leo to prove to me that he forgot all about his feelings for Karai.

The others sat in the living room while I turned invisible, flying inside the dojo. The boys had already started sparring and I decided to sit on the tree to have a better view. Raph blocked an attack of Blue's and back flipped, glaring at him angrily. "You knew the Foot Clan was watching us." he accused and tried to kick Blue's shell. "Not the Foot. Karai." Blue replied, a ghost of a smile on his face.

And Danny. I thought bitterly and shook my head, keeping my eyes on the fight. Raph avoided a slice and rolled away, standing up on his feet. "Karai and that boy are the Foot. You knew she was watching, and all you did was show off. Have you asked Rowan how she would feel if you ever told her that you like Karai?" Raph asked and managed to kick Blue on his shell.

Way to piss me off like I am now, Raph. I thought angrily and clenched a fist. Great, now Raph knows one of my most embarrassing insecurities. How Blue was cheating on me with Karai.

Blue lowered his eyes. "I don't like Karai! You know how much I love Rowny! And I was demonstrating how formidable we are. I knew she wasn't going to attack us." he then said and flipped away.You like her you...ugh! I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. I'll talk to him later, that's for sure.

"Of course not! She's studying our moves for next time! You don't flirt with the enemy, Leo. You take 'em down." Raph retorted and attacked once more. "You're wrong about her. She has a good side." Blue replied as his eyes trailed over to the tree, to me.

"Oh yeah? Well, if that's what you're doing, why don't you go tell the others?" Raph asked and pinned Blue on a wall. His elbow held him well and they both shared a look. "Rowny knows it already." he looked at my side again, "And the others wouldn't understand." he added, glaring back at his brother. I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms.I'm glad that I know I can easily kick your shell without the others knowing it!

"You really think Mikey and Donnie wouldn't understand?" Raph asked again making me to my eyes. For Mikey, yeah. He wouldn't understand a single word. I thought and sat more comfortably on the tree. "You really think Donnie wouldn't understand?" Raph asked again and I smirked. Yeah...Donnie's an expert on those kind of issues... Blue knocked Raph off him and Raph narrowed his eyes. "Look, I know what I'm doing. You have to trust me." he said. Karai does not have a good side! Why should we trust your plan which I know will be a piece of shit?!

"Why should I?"

Blue growled and attacked Raph. They started to fight fiercely and I could see some blood trickling down from their noses. Splinter walked in annoyed enough and slammed his staff down. "What is going on in here?" he demanded and the boys stopped immediately. "Uh, nothing important. Right, Raph?" Blue said, giving a side glance to his brother.

"Right."

Raph pushed away Blue and walked away from the Dojo and Sensei turned back to his room. I crossed my arms again and stared at Blue who had his hands on his hips, glaring up at the tree with an annoyed expression.

"Alright. Come down." he ordered and I shrugged my shoulders. I front flipped and landed in front of him, with an expression showing my anger and my disappointment at the same time. "What?" I retorted and crossed my arms. "Okay, I know you overheard the conversation. And I'm not lying...I love you Rowny. Like I said, Karai is just a friend." he replied softly, and I narrowed my eyes into suspicious slits. "You're not! I know you, Blue. You like Karai more than me. And I agree with Raph in every way. Karai is dangerous like Shredder. She won't hesitate to kill you! And anyway, what more does she have than me?"I ranted and raised both of my hands in the air.

"You're both right, I can't say the opposite. But you have to believe me when I'm saying that Karai has agood side!" he replied and frowned. "Oh, and you're way more beautiful than she is." he added with a sly grin, taking a step forward as he extended his arms so he could swallow me into a hug. I stepped back and pushed his arms away.

"No hugs and no kisses 'till this end you have forgot about Karai once and for all." I said, and Blue looked at me surprisingly. "What?! Have you lost your mind?!" he exclaimed. "No I have not. And I'm coming with you whenever you're going to find Karai. Am I clear?" I ordered and placed my hands on my hips.

He sighed in defeat. "Okay...but only because it's you." he replied and I smirked. "Good thing that you can hear me..." I said and walked out from the Dojo. I was sure that this way would work and I'm sure it would for a while...

"What you doing, girls?"

April and Tania were too in the living room and both were doing something on their laptops. I sat next to my friends while Blue sat in front of the T.V., eyes glinting sadly. Donnie raised an eyebrow, glancing at both of us but said nothing.

"Sending in a sample for a class project." Tania said as she placed a cotton swab inside her mouth. "You're mailing in your spit for a class project? Man, school sounds awesome!" Mikey exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.

"It isn't."

April, Tania and I looked each other and laughed for a while as we realized that we said the same thing at the same time. "Well, I'd be awesome at it. Check this spit out!" Mikey replied and opened his mouth, ready to spit. Donnie prevented him and shut his mouth with both hands. "Don't." he warned as Mikes muttered into the hands. "It's not about spit. It's about the DNA." D said and his brother muttered again. "DNA." D repeated. Mikey uncovered his mouth and stared at him.

I rolled my eyes.

"Do you know the 'Genetic Code'?" I asked and Mikes blinked. "The blocks of life?" I tried again only to receive another blink of his. "Okay, DNA is a microscopic blueprint that tells every living thing what to grow into-" Donnie started to explain but I stopped him. "Why're you still talking? He's not gonna get it." I said at D who nodded and Tania shot me a death glare. "Yeah, you'd think you'd have learned by now." Mikey said making me to roll my eyes.

Blue turned to me and nodded, meaning he would go and find Karai. I stood up and walked up to the turnstiles and sharply turned my head to Blue whose eyes asked me if I was ready.

I narrowed my eyes and moved away.

We awaited for Karai on a roof. I was gazing at the night sky silently while Blue was tapping a finger on his arm. "Rowny...Look—"

"I can't look." I snapped, and I kept looking up at the sky. "Why do you have to be so jealous? I already told you that I don't like Karai! What else do you want me to do?!" he barked and I turned to him. "I think I was specific." I replied and turned back. "Oh come on! You're doing all of this just because you're jealous. Don't you think that's enough?" Blue pressed again and I crossed my arms. "No it's not. And I think I made the wrong move that night." I replied and shut my mouth.

My jiggling set off in my head as I sensed somebody watching us. Blue drew his katanas while I unsheathed my claws and set my body to a purpose defensive position. Karai flipped in front of us and crossed her arms over her chest.

"How did we know you'd show up?" Blue asked as Kara laughed ironically. "Cause you're not good at hiding from me?" she countered rhetorically, causing me to growl. "Like last night." I retorted angrily. Karai turned to me and her eyes filled with hate.

"Oh. Hello Rowan. Nice to meet you." she replied, her tone coated with anger and venom. "Were you there? I didn't notice." she added innocently and I took a step forward. "Oh, please tell me you did not forget about our last meeting." I threatened and curled my hand into a tight fist. Karai shot me with an angry glare and she too clenched her fists. "Told ya, I'm not making a deal with a traitor."she said.

"Whoa, whoa...you know her Rowny?!" Blue asked behind me, kinda surprised and I snapped my head to him. "Yeah, I know her." I replied and turned back to Karai. "And pretty well actually." I added and narrowed my eyes. "I did see a bunch of robots, though. What's their deal?" Karai asked again, causing me to growl again in annoyance. "Their deal is cut your head off your body." I replied sarcastically and felt my fangs growing.

Blue pulled me back and I shoved his hand away. "Their deal is they're incredibly dangerous. Stay away from them." Blue retorted and narrowed too his eyes.

"I like them already!"

I rolled my eyes. "Of course. You're married with trouble, aren't ya?" I retorted and smirked coyly. "Rowny—" Blue warned but I raised a hand. "You, shut up. And you, Karai, get lost." I retorted again and glared with hate at my enemy. Blue sighed sadly behind me.

"Something else is going on." he addressed to Karai. "What is it?" she asked. "I don't think we should tell you anymore." I replied. "Raphael says we can't trust you." Blue said and I narrowed my eyes at him. "He makes a good point. Eventually, I am going to destroy you." Karai replied and reached for her Tanto, and so did I.

"I don't think you are."

Kara laughed and I growled again. "Really? And what do you think this is?" she asked. "I think it's a cry for help. I think you're looking for a way out of the Foot Clan, and we can help you." Blue replied. I paused in our fighting and my eyes widened in disbelief. Did I just hear him right?

We?! Help her?!

"Are you crazy?!" I shrieked as Karai laughed once more. "You're adorable. Stupid, but adorable." she then said. "Don't flirt with my boyfriend!" I yelled angrily and ice appeared downwards me. My vision filled with red spots as I felt my body shaking from the rage which was ready to explode. "He's your boyfriend? Hilarious!" Karai jested.

"ENOUGH!"

I turned to Blue and crossed my arms. "Rowny is my girlfriend and you better stop." he said and I raised an eyebrow. "We can handle it, but I need your word that you will not attack my brothers and Rowny." he added, and my hardened features softened, eyes lowering.

Maybe he's not lying...but I need to be sure.

"You know that I can't do that." Kara reminded and Blue got mad. "Then understand this. If you come after them, I'll come after you. Hear me?" he ordered as Karai remained silent. Then, she flipped away, disappearing into the darkness.

Blue turned to me and his sapphire eyes were filled with hope. I crossed my arms and stared him. "Have I convinced you now?" he asked hopefully and I shook my head softly. "Not yet. I bet that you still care about her more than me." I replied and walked away. Blue grabbed my wrist and made me to turn back to him. "Oh come on. Why do we have to argue about this?" he asked softly and I narrowed my eyes for the hundred time that night. "Because it's something that matters." I spat and shoved away his hand.

He grabbed my t-shirt and pulled me close to him and close to his lips. He kissed me like he never did and I felt his hands tightened around my back. I pulled away and slapped his cheek, tears gathering in my eyes and burning down my cheeks. "I said that you can't kiss me or hug me until that fucking story ends and you finally forgot all about Karai! Why? Why you're doing this to me?" I asked and hid my face into my palms. "I can't stop loving you! You want me to yell it all over the city? I can do it! I'll do everything to see you smile! Everything!" he declared.

I raised my head and gazed at him through my tears. "Really? You will?" I asked and wiped away my tears. "Everything for you." he softly told me and pulled me into his hug. "You may not forgive me for what I'm doing but please, forget it. I love you and I won't let you go." he promised and I placed my head on his shoulder. "I can't forgive you but I can't stop loving you either." I replied and hugged him back.

The next morning, we all sat in the kitchen, waiting for Mikey to prepare our breakfast. Blue was sitting between me and Raph and he was looking at Mikey, lost in his thoughts.

"So are you going to tell Donnie and Mikey about her?" Raph whispered to us. Blue shook his head negatively. "No need. We had a little chat, and...uh...she's gonna leave us alone." he replied and I shot him a death glare. "Don't lie." I whispered. "Because villains always back off when you ask them to. Maybe I'll text the Kraang and ask them to stop mutating stuff." Raph retorted and Blue crossed his arms. "What's going on with you two? Seems you're agreeing on more stuff." he pointed out and I tapped my fingers on the table. "Yeah, because we can predict what Karai's plan is." I replied and looked away. Blue held my hand and whispered in my ear. "I know you're mad. Stop defending Raph though, okay?" he asked, but I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Okay guys, what do you want, omelet pizza or pizza omelet?" I looked over to Mikey who had a bowl full of eggs at one hand. Omelet pizza? Mmmm...That sounded great for my stomach as it growled happily. "What's the difference?" Donnie asked. I simply rolled my eyes and placed my head on the table, red tiffs falling on it in a mass. "Okay, you caught my bluff." I heard Mikes say and I sighed.

Five T-Phones rang at the same time.

Raising a curious brow, I lifted my head off the table and grabbed my T-phone, seeing that I had many texts from both April and Tania. "Hey, did you guys just get a mass text from April and Tania?" Don asked and we all nodded.

"Yep."

"Well, does yours say also say they're being attacked by an old lady?"

"Sure does."

Donnie then looked all of us with question. "Does that count as an emergency?" he asked again. We all shared a look for a couple of minutes.

"Let's go!"

We arrived at the girls' high school which was silent. Oh yeah, because it's nighttime. How stupid am I? Is it the water or the smell in the sewers?

Mikey seemed excited for it as his baby blue eyes were filled with happiness. "Sweet! So this is what school is like!" he exclaimed happily and I rolled my eyes, "Eh, whatever everyone thinks. School sucks for my taste." I crudely said and walked further into the large building. "But you never went to school." Donnie pointed out. "I went before I met you guys." I replied and stood still, glaring at a woman on the top of the stairs. Raph destroyed an alarm behind me and walked up to my side.

"Okay, I feel stupid." he commented. "You're stupid already." I retorted and raised an eyebrow. If Apes and Tan texted us for that kind of emergency, they gotta learn that they are stupid. Great. They need more training to learn how to recognize people.

"Ugh, April and Tania gotta learn the T-phones are for emergencies only." Blue said, annoyed, and I felt my jiggling setting off in my head once more. Along with that, a bad headache started and I exactly knew what that meant. "Guys... I don't think—"

The woman's head turned to us without even her body memening the movement!

"A-A-April O'Neil? T-T-Tania Mansterfield?"

My eyes went wide and the jiggling grew stronger inside my head and a headache brushed over my skull. "Sewer bunnies..." Raph's voice trailed off and we all attacked her. In one of my hands, there was a snowball and on the other an ectoplasm ball which I combined and threw them towards the woman. Her elbows shot a pink laser and they destroyed my ball.

"Shit."

I unleashed my Tanto and super sped to her, slicing off her robotic head. Then, I froze her legs and she stood there. "Mikey! The water fountain!" Blue yelled at Mikey who gestured at the water fountain. "I know! School has everything!" he exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.

"No! Spray her!"

"Oh!"

The water fountain turned on and it threw water on the robot, electroshocking her and shutting her down. "Phew!" I exclaimed and shoved off a tiff from my face. Blue came to my side and hugged me from my shoulders. I moved away and crossed my arms. I may have broke my promise but that didn't mean that I was still okay with him.

"April! Tania! Where are you?"

Both came out from a room and kicked the dead robotic body in anger. "And stay down!" Tania yelled, and I rolled my eyes at my best friend. "Thanks guys." April said and Donnie smiled brightly. "You are so welcome!" he replied and I smirked at the pair. Mikey hugged tight Tania who blushed. "I'm fine Mikey..." she timidly said.

Be a couple already!

"So...what the hell was that thing?" I asked, pointing at the robot. "It looks like a Kraangdroid, minus the Kraang." Don replied, looking at the robot. "She said she was from the Worldwide Genome Project." April said and Tania shrugged her shoulders. "No doubt that the Kraang wanted this." she said. "The Kraang must've hacked into their system. Who knows what kind of info they could be stealing?" Donnie asked, tapping a finger on his chin.

"April, Tania, you'd better head to the lair, where it's safe. Rowny, can you go with them?" Blue asked and I nodded sharply. "Yeah, sure." I replied and shot him a glare. "We'll go check out the Worldwide genome project." Blue said and I nodded again. "Let's go girls." I said to them and we all walked away.

But I felt Blue's eyes staring at me sadly.

We were some meters away from the lair. We all walked in total silence and we were all lost in our thoughts. "Okay Rowan, what the hell is going on between you and Leo?" Tania suddenly and I stopped walking, feigning and confused.

"What do you mean? We're good." I replied and folded my arms. "Yeah, according to the look he gave you when we left and the fact you're pissed off at him, means something." April countered and I rolled my eyes. "We had a small argument." I replied and kept walking.

"Was it about Karai?"

I turned to them, anger boiling inside me. "What?!" I hissed and narrowed my eyes, fangs popping out hearing Kara's name. "Uh-oh...You think he likes Karai more than you, huh?" Tania asked and I growled. "How did you know? He told you that?" I asked. "No, he didn't. We figured it out by ourselves. I'm gonna say it again, Rowan, because I think you didn't hear me last time. Leo loves you. Whatever he does, he doesn't do it just to pissing you off. He's trying to protect you from Shredder and since Karai popped up, he thinks her as a helpful ally so he could get the inside source." April replied softly.

"Don't be angry with him and understand his role. If he ever liked Karai in that way, then he would be dating her instead and get himself into the Foot Clan. But he doesn't. He loves you and all he wants you to do is to be by his side and comfort him. And I know you love him so much." Tania finished, and I lowered my gaze to the floor, my skin heating in shame. "I-I didn't know that..." I whispered sadly. "That's because Leo doesn't want you to know it." April replied.

"Maybe I have to forgive him..." I said, lifting my head. The girls nodded and hugged me tight. "That's the right thing to do." they both said and I smiled.

"I know..."

"About time..."

I landed on a roof and saw the turtles standing in front of a closed door. I raised an eyebrow and walked closer to my family. "So how are we going to get in?" Mikey asked Donnie, who smiled brightly.

"I've got an app for that!"

We groaned.

I pushed D out of my way and smirked. "Screw the app and let the svetocha here to do your work." I said cockily and cracked my neck. With a loud, war cry, I kicked the door using my super strength. It fell on the floor with noise and I turned back to the four surprised turtles.

"What?"

They all blinked rapidly and I rolled my eyes, muttering, "Boys..." I then walked away with the boys following me seconds later. "You know, you get weirder every day." Donnie commented behind me and I turned to him. "Yeah, I've noticed." I replied and kept walking, getting inside a lab. It had many DNA samples in different colors and different blocks. "You know for a human lab, this place is awfully kraang-y." Don said and I turned to him. "Ya think?" I asked sarcastically and looked forward. In the middle of the room, there was a big mutagen machine which had computers all over it.

Some Kraang in floating machines flew to our side and we all ordered our weapons. "Guys. I think the Kraang are the Worldwide Genome Project." Blue said and I sighed heavily. "Will they ever stop?" I muttered under my breath.

"Booyakasha!"

In a less than a minute, we managed to defeat all the floating Kraang. "What are those?" Blue asked, pointing his katana at the DNA blocks. "It looks like they're collecting DNA from every plant and animal species on earth." I replied and crossed my arms. Blue looked at me sadly and in a flash I remembered what I had to do. I walked closer to his side and hugged him tight as the other three started to chat. "I'm sorry...so, so sorry!" I whispered and Blue hugged me back.

"Apology accepted."

I smiled and let go of him, turning back to the others. "I wonder what they're doing with all this DNA." Don wondered. "Whatever it is, it can't be good." I replied as Blue held my hand. "Let's shut this place down." he then ordered. "Hey where's—"

"Gotcha!"

Our heads snapped up to find that Raph had caught Karai, pinning one of her arms behind her back as they both fell to the lower platform of the tank. My eyes widened and I folded my arms across my chest. I tapped my foot against the ground, annoyed and frustrated beyond belief. Unexpected visit...again.

"Karai?!"

"Ka—who?!"

I narrowed my eyes and tightened my hands on my arms. "I told you to get the fuck lost! What do I have to do, cut your ears?!" I yelled and felt my rage growing inside me. Raph grinned down conceitedly at Karai, "Bet you think you're pretty slick?" he mocked. Karai narrowed her eyes at him and before I knew it, both were beginning to brawl.

Somebody landed behind me and I whirled around, finding Danny smirking at me with his katanas poised. "Well, well, well...and here I thought you were dead." I said sarcastically and unleashed my Tanto. "Yeah, that's never happen, babe." he quipped smoothly before he attacked. Our swords met and the clash of our sword rang in my ears. "Why are you here? With Karai?" I asked him before I kicked his stomach hard. He hissed from the pain and kneed down. Emerald eyes glared up me before he attacked again.

"Raph, Karai! Stop it!"

"Okay, what the heck is going on here? How dotheyknow them?"

"How do we know them? Wait...Do we know them?"

Danny tried to give me a high kick but I did a back handstand and threw an ice dagger at him. He avoided it easily and het met my eyes with an impressed look crossing over his features. "You know, I'm here not just because Karai wanted to but, I'm here for you, my little impressive girl." he said in a flirtatious tone, causing me to lift my brow. "Oh really? To kill me?" I probed and kicked one of his katanas away. "If I wanted that, I would already have done it the night we met." he remarked and I rolled my eyes, defending myself from his oncoming attacks.

"Enough! You're gonna set off—"

An alarm went off and we all stopped fighting each other. I looked over to Blue who had a sheepish smile on his lips. "...one of those."he stated with a sigh, and I rolled my eyes with a smirk. "Nice going Leo! You're protecting her?! What is wrong with you? She is bad news!" Raph retorted and Leo glared hotly at him. "No, she's not!" Blue protested.

"Yeah, I am"

"Yeah, she is."

We paused and Karai and I shared a look. Her amber eyes softened and the hate and anger was replaced with guilt and regret. Memories surrounded my head from the missions we went and how we all used to hang out before everything, but I tried to forget about all of that when I left for good. Kraang appeared in the room, as I realized that Karai was here to apologize for a huge and stupid mistake she made, how much she cared about us.

For me and Jewel.

"The ones who are not authorized by the authority of Kraang to exist in this place will now be destroyed by Kraang in this place."

"Do they always talk like that?" Danny asked behind me as Karai smirked coyly. "This day just keeps getting better." she commented and we all proceeded to fight our common enemy.

"Look. See? She's on our side."

"Are you even listening to yourself?"

I sliced a couple of Kraang and froze others with my ice powers. "I like your brother, Leo. He's almost as entertaining as you are." I heard Kara commenting and I rolled my eyes. "Oh, when this is over, I'll show you how entertaining I can be." Raph retorted with a growl. Suddenly, we found ourselves trapped on a wall. "We're trapped!" Blue exclaimed as I kept slicing Kraang with my Tanto and claws.

"No, you're trapped."

I fixated my eyes on Danny and Karai, who stood in front of the computers. I crossed my arms as I watched them smirking, pointing a finger on a button. "What happens if we do this?" Danny asked and a look of mischief crossed his face, and I narrowed my eyes. "No! Don't do that!" Blue yelled and I held his arm tight, holding him back. "They're gonna do this either way." I whispered on his ear andmy Bluerelaxed his muscles.

Danny narrowed his eyes into venomous slits.

"Highly undesirable outcome." a Kraangdroid replied and that answer gave more confidence to the two Foot soldiers in order to do whatever they wanted. "Well, now we gotta." Karai said and pressed that button. Another alarm had been set off as the all DNA samples transferred into the mutagen. Smoke slowly appeared and covered everything in my vision and Blue pulled me close on him, as a way of protection.

The smoke cleared, revealing a giant mutant. It reminded me of an octopus while his eyes which stood still by some kind of jelly, looked like a snail's eyes.

"Meow..."

My jiggling set off in my head once more and I looked at Blue. His hand was still holding me tight by my arms and my body pressed on his strongly. "Aww...he's so cute!" I heard Mikey exclaiming behind me and kept staring Blue who returned his look. Transforming into its monster edition, the mutated growled and attacked us. "Well...today is officially not my lucky day." I droned and unleashed my Tanto as soon as Blue let go of me. The Kraang fired lasers on the mutant without even harming it.

"Whoa! That's wicked!" I heard Danny exclaiming and I narrowed my eyes. "It's not!" I yelled and charged with a big ectoplasm ball.

"How the heck am I gonna name this?"

I saw Karai smirking. "Good question. Well, see ya!" she replied and grabbed a destroyed Kraang droid. "You're not gonna help beat this thing? It's your fault!" Blue yelled at her as Kara chuckled. "I'll let the heroes handle it." she replied.

"I trusted you!"

My eyes went wide and I snapped my head to Blue. "You did?!" I exclaimed in shock. "I know! That's messed up, right?" Karai replied and flipped away but not before she gave me one of her sad looks. Danny ran up to my side and before I could even do something—

He kissed me.

Blue growled like a hungry animal as I widened my eyes to the size of dinner plates, heart in my throat. Danny pulled away and followed after Karai before I could do anything. Then, I realized one thing...

He likes me?

"So, guys, we all fans of Karai and Danny yet?" Raph asked in a teasing tone behind me. "I don't know who they are, but I know I hate them!" Donnie retorted and they all charged at the mutant.

I stood still.

Blue came to my side and hugged me tight as shooting and grunts heard all over. "I'll make him pay. I promise, Rowny." he said softly in my hair as his hands tightened around my back.

I didn't say anything.

"I should've told you about Karai sooner, but I really thought there was a chance she would be good, and I guess I sort of liked her..."

We were back in the lair. Blue was telling everything about Karai and I stood by him, holding his hand in comfort. "...But when Rowny and I argued, I realized that she's the only girl I can ever love." he finished and I glanced at him. I looked over at Sensei and the others who just stared at him in surprise. "Go ahead. Laugh." Blue said in defeat and my eyes drooped. "Dude, I can't believe you trusted her." Mikey exclaimed and I narrowed my eyes. "I didn't, Mikes!" I retorted but then, sighed.

Regrets filled my heart as five-year-old memories passed through my mind rapidly. I still remembered Karai's amber eyes filled with sadness and regret. And that'll never go away.

I let go of Blue and headed to the kitchen as they all talked about Karai. A thought had been stuck in my head.

I have to tell Jewel.

Plopping a seat on the stool, I pulled out my T-Phone and tried to call her many times. The other line just rung and she didn't answer. She was probably on another of he photoshoots or maybe she was at a gymnastics competition, or practice. I don't know. She doesn't talk about her gymnastics career very much since she changed her name and altered her look slightly so Shredder couldn't track her down again. I decided to text her instead and update her on what's going on.

Fire Queen, Karai's back from Japan! She's been ordered to hunt down me and my friends by Shredder—ring a bell?. But I also think she's feeling guilty about THAT night. We need to discuss it. Call me.

I shut down my T-Phone and let out a huge sigh. My shoulders hunched, millions of thoughts, scenarios and memories crossed my mind. My problems were multiple but with none of them had any solution.

How the hell am I gonna get over them?!
