Sorry for the long wait in between chapters and the shortness of this one, I had a cold claim me early last week that was the kind that made your head feel like a balloon and I am still trying to shake it this week (though thankfully the balloon feeling is gone). But I wanted to work on this story/get a chapter out for you, so here you go :D

The four brothers stared at each other in shock. They all held a family resemblance, though each had something that set them apart. Raph was buff, while Mikey was scrawny (though still muscular), Donnie was tall and lean, while Leo was fit looking, though not quite as buff as Raph. They all looked Asian, like Karai ("probably because of Splinter's human DNA", Donnie thought), but each had a shock of hair that was the color of their masks. Speaking of their masks, those had disappeared along with their shells (obviously), but thankfully human clothes had taken the place of them.

"What happened?" Mikey asked, as he stared in awe at his five fingers. "Whatever was in those darts must have reversed the Mutagen's effect, much like my serum did, but somehow our human side won out over our turtle, something I had been working on myself but hadn't perfected." Donnie replied. Raph stood and managed to keep his footing barely as he said "This is going to take some getting used to." "Let's head to Lianna and Mattie's place, its just past the next alley." Leo said, already cautiously heading to the side of the building.

Once they reached the edge, they looked down and Mikey gulped. "Maybe we should go down and then over, I mean we aren't even stable enough to walk, let alone jump." Donnie nodded and said "I am with Mikey on this one." The other two turtles… ummm… brothers agreed and so they made their way down the nearest fire escape and headed carefully down. Upon reaching the bottom, they headed over to the girls' residence and knocked. Lianna answered with a smile and said "Can I help you?"

"Lianna, it's us." Mikey stage whispered. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Mikey?!" The boys nodded and Lianna ushered them inside. Her parents were at their new jobs, but she went and fetched Mattie and had Raph tell her who he was. Just like her cousin, her eyes grew wide and Mattie asked what both girls were thinking, "What happened to you guys?" Donnie explained about the dart that hit them the night before, along with his theories. The girls listened in stunned silence, before saying "Come on, we have to get you to Master Splinter."

Everyone headed down the secret entrance to the sewers and the girls helped the turtles to their lair. Splinter was training Karai and April at the moment, so the boys flopped on the couch, exhausted from walking around with the gait and compensating for different things. The cousins, however, headed into the dojo section of the underground home of them all and interrupted the lesson with cryptic "You have to see what has happened!" Splinter, April and Karai all shared a puzzled glance before following the cousins out into the main section and gasped at the sight of four human boys lounging on the sofa. When Leo spotted his master and father he jumped and gave a clumsy bow as he said "Sensei." That's when the three recognized who these human were.

Much like the cousins, they demanded to know what had happened and once again Donnie filled them in. "Hmm this is disturbing, who would know to change you and how to do so?" Sensei said as he stroked his beard. After a moment of contemplative silence he smiled and said "But you should make the most of it. You have always wanted to see what the humans do without causing them fear, now is your chance." Lianna smiled at Mikey and said "Just think of all the things we can see and the photos we can take!" "Oh yeah!" Mikey jumped up excitedly, over compensated, and fell flat on his face. "Maybe we should get a little more used to moving around first." Raph said, crossing his arms.
