A/N: You guys asked for it so here it is: the follow up of Miscalculation. This is going to be a multi chapter story set in the SaiNW future verse and some in the past (during the original series, not BTTS or FF). This will include a new character of mine, she'll be introduced later. There are some warnings that come with this: bad language, violence, time warping so anything is possible, character death in both the future and past. Another warning concerns me, I don't write fighting scenes too well so forgive me on that.

Chapter One: Cat and Mouse:
April was able to track him all the way to Italy, but lost him in Prague. She was resting in Paris now. She turned on the TV to see if there was any news of a strange figure lurking somewhere. That's how she was able to track him all these years. Then she found a ghost show, and it talked of a mutant phantom wondering in the catacombs below the streets of The City of Lights.
April smirked. "Gotcha."
April grabbed her gear, and made a mad dash out of the hotel to the streets. The streets were starting to gain control of human life. The world was slowly returning to normal. No one bothered to ask questions when April found a manhole and ducked down into the dark mazes below the city.
The clicking of the light echoed off the walls of bones. When the light came on April didn't shriek or gasp. It was just a pile of bones. She'd seen worse. Now, the only problem was locating the missing turtle and bring him home. April pulled out a robe to her bag. She tied it around her waste, then she tied it onto the ladder. It would be her way to finding her way back.
April took a breath and headed forward. She wasn't sure how far she was. All she knew was her legs were starting to hurt, but she didn't care. She kept going for the guy's sake. They wouldn't want there brother alone out here, or more rather down here. April was making it until her light start to dim.
"No, not now." She pleaded with it. "Please," she started to fidget in her bag to find her batteries. "Dammit," she cursed herself for placing the batteries all the way at the bottom. April almost had then when it went dark.
"Shit," she cursed again.
This wasn't good.
"Who's here?" she heard a hoarse voice demand from the distance.
April listened to it closely. It sounded so familiar. Then it her. The voice belonged to the one who she was searching for but it ended up the other way around.
"Donnie?" she questioned hesitantly. "Is that you?"
Donatello stopped dead in his tracks. He knew that voice well enough. "April?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to find you!" she answered tearfully. She was so glad that he was here, she couldn't compose herself. "I've been trying to find you for a very long time."
Donnie thought back to his past travels, and he always thought there was someone following him. He had no idea it would be April. "Why?" he demanded angrily. "Trust me Ape, the best thing for you to do is to go back home!"
"And here I thought you'd be happy to see me." She teased him.
"If you only knew…" Donnie said, going to turn.
"Try me." April threatened him.
"Perhaps it's better to show you." Donnie said, going to her bag in the dark. He'd become so a costumed to the darkness, it had become his friend. Plus, his ninja skills came in handy more these days then ever.
"What are you doing?" she asked him. "How can you see?"
"You get use to it." Was his answer.
Donnie found the batteries. He grabbed the flashlight from April took care of the batteries then turned it on. When the light brightened their area, April finally saw what Donnie was talking about. He wasn't the Donnie she remembered, not even close. He was a monster. He looked like a walking mutant skeleton. Half of his skin on his face and upper body were gone, revealing some of the bone underneath. She didn't scream.
"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!" Donnie yelled at her. "WHY AREN'T YOU RUNNING!?"
April didn't have to ask him how he became like this. She knew very well that it was the blast that happened so many years ago. Her heart went out to him. "This was why?" she asked tearfully. "Oh Don, what do you think we would have done?"
Donnie could feel the tears coming. They didn't sting anymore. The better question here was: What had he done? All these years, could he have possibly made a mistake by running?
April didn't wait any longer. She jumped onto him, throwing him arms around him, feeling the rough surface of his now distorted figured under her, but it didn't bother her. It was just good to hold one of the guys again, especially Donnie.
Donnie was overwhelmed; he thought he couldn't feel anything anymore but guilt and blame. The moment April hugged him all the years of bottled up emotions came flooding back to him. He returned her embrace with just as much enthusiasm as she did. However, he was careful not to hurt her.
When they parted April wiped the tears away from Donnie's eyes. Since the first time she'd been down here, he was finally got a good look at her. It seemed she'd changed too, but not much. It was just by age.
"You got old." He joked with her.
April him playfully hit him on the shoulder. "I'm not that old." She corrected him. Okay, maybe that was a lie. Age caught up with her quickly then she'd like.
"What happens now?" Donnie asked her.
April smiled at him. "How would you like to come home with me?"
"Seriously?" he asked happily.
"Only if you want to, I don't want to force you." April answered him. "I know you have your reasons Don, and if you need time to think-"
"No," he interrupted her. "I've had enough time. Take me home."
