After her talk with Leo, Marisol had gone back to her cleaning duties. The current room she was cleaning now happened to be the baby's room. Robert had been preparing this room for the baby-Elsa? Was that what the turtles have named her?-since he learned the baby would be a girl. He seemed disappointed by that fact somehow. Marisol's eyes took in the room. It had been painted a bland pink color. It had a white crib that almost looked like a cage in the center of the room. A diaper changing area was placed in the right side of the room. On left side of the room, was a closet filled with diapers, baby clothes and toys. Marisol didn't know why, but for some reason she suddenly hated this room and everything in it. She began to furiously scrub away at the walls and floor of the room, as if looking an excuse to be out of the room faster. As she tided up the room, Marisol couldn't help but recall a conversation between herself and Ingrid.

Flashback:

Marisol wheeled cart that carried Ingrid's lunch towards Ingrid's room. Ingrid's afternoon meal was a tray of food, that was large enough for two people. The door could only be both opened and locked from the outside.

Marisol reached into her pocket for the master prison key. She then unlocked the door and entered Ingrid's room with the tray.

If one didn't know what the room was for, it would at first glace, appear to be a five star hotel suite.

Ingrid was seven months along with her pregnancy and resting on the bed. But rather, than be happy about that fact like most woman, she was depressed.

Even though she had been given more freedom to move around and have the room decorated with any kind of materials she liked. Ingrid was still absolutely miserable.

"Your lunch?" Marisol said as she entered the suite. "I'm not feeling well." Ingrid replied as she absentmindedly brush a stand of her brown hair out of her face. "Do you need to go to the bathroom or would you like me to call the doctor?" Marisol asked, looking concerned. "NAO!" Ingrid said a little to quickly. "Please...Please..Please don't call the doctor, he'll tell Robert and then..." her voice trailed off. Ever since she was a child, Marisol had worked as a maid for Robert. She always did what he asked of her, but now after being assigned to tend to Ingrid until her baby was born, Marisol started to question Robert's wishes. She knew Robert had meant well, he only wanted the Kraang gone from Earth, but the sight of Ingrid becoming more and more depressed, was starting to get to Marisol. Even if Robert was keeping the baby from "falling into the wrong hands." "Does he hurt you?" Marisol inquired, looking as though she would hit her boss, if he was. "No, but he frightens me..." Ingrid replied, as she suddenly began to cry. "He can't possibly love her..." Ingrid wept as she hugged her stomach protectively. She looked at Marisol right in eye and said "How can you stand by and let him do this to me and my baby?" Marisol felt uncomfortable, but attempted to bury that feeling deep inside her. "I'm just a maid, I do whatever Robert tells me to do." she said as sat the tray down on the bed that Ingrid was resting on. "So, you're saying that you'll stand by and allow Robert to take my baby because you were ordered to?" Ingrid asked in an outraged tone. "If he ordered to kill yourself, would you do it?" she added as her eyes hardened. Marisol couldn't take it anymore. She found herself running towards the nearest bathroom and vomited.

End Flashback:

As Marisol began to put away the cleaning supplies, she thought to herself. "Como posso ficar assim? Robert tem feito muito por mim. Ele me deu uma casa, comida, roupa e um emprego. Tudo o que ele queria em troca era para eu levar os seus segredos para o tumulo. Mas desde que ele foi demitio de seu trabalho, ele se tornou mais. Eu sei que ele esta tentando acabar com essa seculos longa guerra, mas ele esta disposto a raptar um bebe e vender um mutante...!"
It was then she knew she needed tell Robert that if he sold Leo, then she will quit in response. She then stood up and began to walk towards Robert's office.


Little did Marisol know was that Raph, Donnie and Mikey had just entered the building. All three brothers, hid themselves in the shadows, as they quietly crept through the building. Suddenly they heard approaching voices, coming towards their direction. "...Going to come the auction?" the first voice asked. "I don't know, but I sure hope that none of the foot clan comes." replied the second voice. "Why?" questioned the first voice, the owner stepping out of the shadows. The three turtles could see the owner was a human male in his 20s. "You know how Robert feels about about people who work with the Kraang for their own selfish reasons. If they come to buy the turtle, Robert would refuse them and a fight would break out." the second voice answered, as it's owner stepped out of the shadows, revealing the owner to be another male human with light brown skin. "Besides that clan is full of nut jobs, it's too small to be a country and too large to be an insane asylum." "Well that's something we can agree upon." Raph thought to himself, in amusement. Mikey covered his mouth, to block out his giggles. "Can you believe that you used to be a cockroach,Matheus?" the first man said to his companion."I know! And to think that all it took was the dna of that unborn baby to turn me back to normal." the man called Matheus answered. At this, Raph, Donnie and Mikey exchanged shocked looks with each other. None of the brothers said anything, but they were all thinking the same thing. "OH MY GOSH! ELSA COULD CURE PEOPLE IN THE WOMB!"

"I hope that the rest of the turtles will do the smart thing and return the child to us." Matheus added. "It would a real shame to sell one of the heroes that saved the world-" However he never got to finish his sentience, because Raph reached out and knocked out Matheus with one hit. Before the first man could register what was going on, Mikey whipped out his nun-chucks and started fighting with the first-man. "Tell me what you've done with Leo!" Mikey demanded angrily. "It's not what I've done with your brother," The first man began to reply tauntingly, as he dogged Mikey's attacks. "It's about what-" But like his companion, he never got to finish his sentience, because Raph quickly knocked him out. "Man, that guy was making me angry." he stated. "Guys, we need to find Leo." Donnie said. No sooner had the words left his mouth, who should wander into their path, but a skunk mutant dressed in a maid's uniform. Upon seeing the turtles, Marisol felt her eyes go wide and her mouth hang open. Before she had the chance to flee, Raph garbed her by the arm, threw her against the wall and said "Where. is. my. brother?" "You're Leo's brothers?" Marisol whispered. "You better not have hurt him or I'll-" Rpah started to say. "Wait, wait. I'll take you to him and return his weapons to you. Just, please don't hurt me." Marisol interrupted. "You're his jailer?" Donnie wondered. "No, I'm just his maid." Marisol replied. With Raph was keeping a tight grip on her arm as Marisol led them to an elevator. As the four of them stepped inside, Marisol couldn't help but feel the tension mounting. "Where are his weapons?" Raph demanded. "Three floors before the prison suites." Marisol explained. "Prison sweets? You guys give candy to your prisoners?" Mikey questioned. "Mikey, she meant 'prison suite'. As in a hotel room, not a candy." Donnie explained. In spite of circumstances, Marisol couldn't help but let a giggle. "Estas Tartarugas sao mutio engracado." She thought to herself as she pushed the weapons room button in the elevator. When the doors closed themselves and the elevator began to rise up towards the weapons room, Marisol hoped that Raph wouldn't hit her. "Nao, a menos que voce lhe de uma razao muito." She reminded herself. After what seemed like an eternity, the doors opened up to the sight of the weapons room. Donnie quickly spotted Leo's katanas, on a nearby shelf and rushed over to grab them. Shortly afterwards, Donnie headed back inside the elevator, Marisol punished the button that lead to the prison suites. She could feel the tension fade ever so slightly, but it was still there. After what seemed like a century, Marisol and the turtles were greeted with sight of the prison suites. "This is were you keep your prisoners?" a perplexed Mikey asked as his eyes marveled at the sight the hallway, in spite of himself. It looked more like a hotel, rather then a dungeon. "Only the ones that have great value." Marisol replied. "Stop wasting time." Raph demanded. Marisol quickly pulled out the master prison key and opened Leo's door. At once Leo leaped out of the doorway and hugged his brothers. "You're okay!" Mikey cried with delight in his voice. "Not for long." spoke a familiar feminine voice. Marisol and the turtles turned around to see Sky and a group of solders standing right in front of them. "I see you have taken one of our maids hostage and have failed to bring the asset like we asked." Sky said. "Now, I'm afraid that none of you will leave this building ever again." she said. "A pregnant woman escaped from here, didn't she?" Mikey quipped, as Donnie tossed Leo his katanas. Leo caught them with complete ease as Sky frowned. Then a moment later, Sky and her solders lunged at the turtles.


As the turtles were fighting their way out of Robert's building. April had just put Elsa down for a nap in Splinter's room. She quietly closed the door behind her as she began to walk back into the living room. April's thoughts wondered towards her father. She had only been reunited with him for such a short time, before he was turned into a mutant. When she had learned the turtles were responble for her father's mutation, she was prepared to sever all ties with them. But after talking with Casey and the turtles coming to rescue from Karai, she decided to give them a second chance. Donnie had promised her that he would find a way to cure her father, but never in a million years, did she think that a cure would appear on the turtles doorstep. Like everyone else, April was stunned to learn that Elsa could reverse the affects of mutagen. She was also excited her father could be cured and they could be a family again. On the other hand was she really going to risk the life of a child that was only a few days old? She knew the answer would be no. Unlike the Foot, the Kraang and that mysterious group that was after the baby, April and the Hamato clan were not monsters. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that the best solution would be for Donnie to take some samples of Elsa's dna and use them to create retro-mutagen. "Hey, Red. Timmy and I were just talking about our families." Casey said, as his voice cut through her thoughts. "I live with my mom and dad." Timmy explained. "Sorry, about acting out. Splinter told me about your dad." Timmy said. "I just couldn't believe that I was a monster...it's not fair. All I ever wanted was to be a hero. Just like the turtles." he added. "Maybe you just need more practice," April began to say. "No! Don't encourage him!" Casey thought to himself. "Timothy," Splinter said as he appeared in the living room. "Perhaps, it is best if you call your parents and let them know that you are okay." he finished. "I have an even better idea, why don't I go home and tell them I'm okay." Timmy replied. Splinter gripped Timmy's shoulders, looked him right in the eyes as he said "Timothy, you must understand, to your parents have been missing for over a year. Think about it, would they believe you if you told them that you were turned into a mutant for a whole year and you were only recently turned back to normal because of a baby?" Timmy thought it over, before he replied. "You're right, they'll think I was kidnapped and drugged up or something." "Do not tell them the truth just yet." Splinter advised. "Why?" Timmy questioned. "Because, you once worked for the foot and if they learn that you're human again, they will want to learn it happened." Splinter explained. "Oh I get it, you don't want me telling them about the baby." Timmy realized. "Yes, if they found out what she can do, they'll try to kidnap and raise her to be foot solder." April piped up.


As Splinter, April and Casey were discussing what would Timmy's cover story would be, the turtles were currently fighting against the mercenaries.

Leo was in a katana match with Sky, while Raph, Donnie and Mikey were fighting their own battles. "It doesn't have to be this way, you could join us and help us destroy the Kraang." Sky pleaded. "Are you kidding me?" Leo yelled as he blocked a hit. "Even if you haven't kidnapped me and tried to sell me. I still would say no, you killed an innocent woman and are trying to steal a baby." Leo added. "You're going down!" Raph cried as he kicked a mercenary into the wall. Two mercenaries leaped at Mikey. Mikey, thinking fast, turned his head spin- into a spin kick! Knocking out, both solders at once. Donnie deciding enough was enough, waited until his brothers were near him, before pulling out a smoke bomb from his shell and taking the chance to escape. Sky and Marisol coughed until the smoke had been cleared away, before realizing the turtles were gone. Sky walked over towards Marisol and said "Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" her eyes softening in Marisol's direction. "Nao." Marisol replied. "Come, we must tell Robert that the turtles escaped." Sky grimaced. "Why do you need me to come? I'm just the maid." Marisol questioned. "You're more than 'just the maid' to Robert. If listens to you, he'll go easy on me and my team." Sky replied with a hit of envy in her voice.


As Sky and Marisol were preparing to tell Robert what had happened. Leo was happily reunited with his brothers. Once they had reached a safe distance, away from Robert's building, Raph, Donnie and Mikey gave Leo a big brotherly hug. "It's good to have you back, Leo." Raph said as he wrapped his arms around his older brother. "Did they hurt you?" asked Mikey with his puppy dog eyes. "No, they mostly kept me locked up that room. I was only brought out for dinner." Leo replied. Then Leo remembered something that Marisol told him. "Guys, I learned more about Elsa's mom and Robert." Leo began to say. " First of all, the maid that was assigned to me, she told me that Robert was fired from the Anti-Kraang movement." Leo explained. "WHAT!" cried all three of his brothers at once. "Why am I not surprised." Raph muttered under his breath. "What did you learn about Elsa's mom?" Mikey questioned."Her name is Ingrid and she's from Brazil." Leo added. "WHAT!" Raph, Donnie and Mikey cried out at once. "What are we going to do now?" wondered Mikey. "Yeah, we've never even been out of the country." Raph added. "Donnie please tell me, they speak English in Brazil." Leo pleaded. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Donnie promised.


Later that evening, after, April and Casey took Timothy home to his family, the turtles recounted to Splinter what had happened and what they have learned. Splinter stood there and listened. Splinter pulled at his bread as his mind went over what his sons were telling him. As Splinter was thinking, Donnie was typing away at the laptop, hoping to find more information on Brazil. "This is most troublesome, my sons. You are all aware that we can not leave this country." Splinter stated. "Guys, I found some information on Brazil." Donnie interrupted. At once, Splinter and three remaining turtles surrounded the labtop. "Please let them speak English down there." Raph pleaded. "I don't know any Spanish." Mikey agreed. "Actually, they speak Portuguese in Brazil." Donnie explained. "Do they speak any other languages?" Raph added. "Well the other two major languages are Italian and German. Depending which part of the country that you're in. They also speak Chinese, Japanese and Korean. " Donnie added. "Well at least that's one language we know." Leo said , trying to be optimistic. "Anyway, how was Timmy's reunion with his family?" he added trying to change the subject. "April told it was very emotional." Splinter replied. "What did Timmy tell them?" Donnie inquired. "That he cannot recall what has happened to him." Splinter replied. "Well, at least he's keeping quit." Raph muttered. "But how are we going to return Elsa to her family now?" Mikey interjected, bemoaning the situation. "I don't know but we'll find a way. Once we do, we must explain the situation to Elsa's father." Splinter vowed. "How are we going to find and contact him?" Raph mused. "It's not like he's on a plane to New York right now." he added.


But what the Hamato family didn't realize was that there was a plane carrying Haru Zamora, Bryce Stone and several other solders, towards New York City at that very moment.

"I can't believe that he made you listen to Sesame Street songs!" Ursula Meminger exclaimed, as she cried tears of laughter.

"It's not funny, Meminger." Haru muttered under his breath, as he fought the urge to start singing 'Elmo's world.' for about the 40th time. "Then why am I laughing?" Ursula replied as she let out a hearty laugh. "Deve resistir matando impulso." Haru thought to himself, as he griped his seat. As he took deep calming breathes, the lights in the plane began to flicker on and off. "Meminger, lay off him." Tulio Garcia piped up from his magazine. "Obrigado." Haru replied to his fellow solder. "Any word on your wife, yet?" asked David Amiga, as he joined in the conversion. "No, not yet." Haru said in a sad tone. "Ever since she disappeared, I wake up wondering will this be the day when the phone rings to tell me that they found Ingrid lying dead in a pit somewhere." as he finished his sentence, the light above Haru went out. At once Bryce, reached out to Haru with her mind.

"Vamos, Primo Haru. Empurre esses pensamentos para longe e ter esperanca." she spoke telepathically. Just then the plane began to distend towards the runway. "We have now reached New York City," the plot's voice spoke from the speaker. "Thank you for choosing to fly with us today." he added. "I can't believe it. We're really here." Bryce said in awe. "I always wanted to go New York." David spoke up. Haru let out a sigh as he said "Welcome to America."


The turtles have saved Leo and Haru has arrived in NY, just as the turtles contemplated the chances of Elsa's father of coming to America.

Ha ha little do they know. :)

Did I make Timmy act out of character in the last chapter?

Please review, remember reviews make authors happy, and happy authors mean faster updates.

Guest Melissa: Since it's a well known fact that Karai has mommy issues, I felt that she could easy empathize with Elsa and be disgusted by Robert has done to Ingrid. That's very clever of you spot that.

Guest Alejandra: I meant for that scene when Haru is ordered to listen to nothing Sesame Street songs to be funny. Don't worry, Haru will meet the turtles eventually.

Guest Cynthia: Wait 'till I get to the later chapters, Robert only gets worse from there.

After your comments, I realized that Marisol is more morally complex, then the rest of Robert's team.
