Tucker wandered through the hallways. He looked into a door that was cracked open and saw Donnie standing at a table, looking at something. Tucker pushed against the door and jumped up onto the table when Donnie walked to the other side of the room.

"Tucker, what're you doing here?" Donnie asked, walking over to him. The cat meowed and nodded his head towards the paper.

"Smart cat. That's none of you're business." Donnie chuckled. Tucker looked at him again, and out to the hallway when they heard someone walking down the hall.

"Tucker? Where are you?" Chloe called. Tucker meowed loudly and Chloe looked in.

"Hey guys. What cha doing Donnie?" she asked, sitting on a chair.

"Doing some tests. Hey, I need a favor." He said.

"Yeah? Anything I can help with?" she asked.

"Mind if I take some samples from you and tucker?" he asked. Chloe raised an eyebrow and thought.

"Why?" she asked.

"Well, I just want to see if theirs a connection to you and tucker. Maybe I can find an anti-mutagen for you." he said.

"But…I kinda like being one now…but sure, I don't care. What do you need?" she asked.

"A few blood samples, from you're human form, and mutant form, and from Tucker." He said. When she heard blood her ears perked up.

"NO! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO blood!!" she yelled, jumping out of her chair.

"Are you ok?" Donnie asked, surprised at her reaction.

"No blood! No more…never again." She mumbled. Donnie walked over and patted her shaking shoulder.

"You're afraid of blood aren't you?" he asked. She looked up at him and nodded.

"Yes. I'm afraid of blood, ok?" she confessed.

"It won't be much. See, I'll do Tucker first, ok?" he said gently. He went over and picked up Tucker, and put him in her lap. She stroked the cats back until Donnie came back.

"Who knows, maybe this could help you get over you're fear." Donnie shrugged, checking if the needle was ready. He stuck it in Tucker and red liquid filled the syringe. Chloe looked away quickly.

Donnie pulled out the needle and went back to his desk.

"How was it?" Chloe asked nervously. The cat looked up at her.

"Not bad. It didn't hurt." Tucker meowed.

"Ready Chloe?" Donnie asked, walking over to her. She nodded and held out her arm and closed her eyes tightly. She let out a gasp when the cold needle entered her flesh.

He pulled it out and Chloe looked at the spot. A bead of blood pushed up from her skin and dripped down her arm. More came up and it flowed down the same path as the last drip. Chloe stared at it wide eyed. Before she knew it, Donnie was putting a band aid over where he drew the blood and was wiping the drips away.

"Cat form please." He said. She nodded and changed. Though she was still shaking, she held out her arm again. This time she didn't even look until she felt him cover up the spot and wipe away the blood.

"There, that wasn't so bad, was it?" he said, sitting across from her. She shrugged.

"Um, just out of curiosity, why are you afraid of blood?" he asked. Chloe remained silent, her eyes giving away how she felt about the subject. Their golden brown color showed how sad she was.

"I saw too much blood when my family died. Now every time I see it I instantly think of death. I guess you could say I'm more afraid of death than blood." She said with a small, pathetic laugh.

"Interesting. I've never heard of a ninja being afraid of that stuff." Donnie said with a grin.

"Well ya know what, I don't give a crap!" she said with a laugh as she hit him on the head.

"Hey, what's going on in here?" Mikey asked, sticking his head through the door.

"Helping Donnie with an experiment." Chloe said with a smile.

"Hey, one more thing, later could you go up and get a few turtles from the pet store?" Donnie asked when Mikey left.

"Uh, sure, why not? Are you trying to find an anti-mutagen for you guys too?" she asked with a sly grin.

"Maybe. Just make sure their guy turtles." Donnie said. Chloe nodded and got up.

"Maybe I can help us all." Donnie thought, watching her leave.
