"There's no point avoiding it." Raph said peering into the Shellrazor. It had been about half an hour since they had arrived back at the lair. Leo was still asleep and had to be kept warm. Donnie was doing something on his computer, Mikey had fallen asleep on the lounge and Raph was trying to get Eclips out of the Shellrazor. "Come on you said you didn't care if Splinter busted you… Or is this about Leo?"
Eclips looked up at Raph not saying anything.
"I'll come with you to see Splinter, then we can come back and check on Leo, Ok" Raph said walking away slowly hoping she would follow.
Eclips got up and jumped out of the Shellrazer, eyes grim. Arms crossed as she followed Raph.
"Master Splinter?" Raph said walking into the Dojo and kneeling before him. Eclips did the same not looking at Splinter.
"I see everything went well." Splinter said looking at the two turtles in front of him.
"Ay sensei. Donnie says Leo will be fine."
"That is good to hear. Thank you Raphael, but if you would please leave I need to speak to your sister."
Raph sighed putting his hand on Eclips's shoulder 'Good luck' he mouthed before leaving.
"You left without permission, took a weapon you have no experience with, put yourself and brothers in danger. Should I go on?" Splinter asked looking at Eclips who continued to look down. "LOOK AT ME!" Splinted demanded bashing his staff against the floor. Eclips looked up sitting upright eyes wide and focused on Splinter. "Eclips you are a part of our family now, and that means you must never put your brothers at risk. To prevent that you shall need to be able to fight. So as punishment for disobeying me and one of your brothers you start your training now."
"That's not really a punishment?" Eclips finally spoke.
"Eclips there are many forms of punishments and ways of life. Your heart and mind have been scarred by the Krang, you need to learn a new way of life one where you can choose your own path and don't have you life planned for you." Splinter knelt down "Your young and even if you won't fit in with the world above you will always fit in here." Splinter said holding his chest near his heart. "Come let's start your training." Splinter said getting up and turning his back to her.
Eclips got up and wrapped her arms around him "Thank you."
Splinter smiled. "This is also for you." Splinter said pulling out the pale orange mask from his robe. "I hope you like it." He said tying it up for Eclips.
"Two hours? Really?" Leo asked Donnie sitting up.
"Yep two hours." Donnie answered checking Leo's nerves.
"Wonder how much she's learned?"
"Who knows with that chip she could be up to our level in a couple of days."
"Yeah but you said she still needs to improve her fitness and flexibility."
"And control of her fear, that's the one I think will being her down, plus I don't think splinter will teach her everything at once. Ok your good to go, just keep the rug on and you should be fine." Donnie said putting his stuff away.
"I'm going to watch." Leo said getting up and walking out towards the dojo.
"Leo you're ok!" Mikey said jumping up and hugging Leo.
"Hey Mikey." Leo said pushing Mikey away.
"If you were planning to see Eclips don't bother they just finished." Raph said reading his comic.
"She really good too!" Mikey added letting go of Leo.
"Haha that's good to-"
"Leo?" Eclips said tiredly coming out of the dojo. "You're ok?"
"Yeah I fine Eclips." Leo smiled.
"Look I got my mask!" She said running up to him and hugging him.
"Yeah you did and it looks very pretty, you look like a true ninja now." Leo said patting her head.
"Dude I new orange was her colour. Who's Awesome? ME!" Mikey said pointing to himself.
Leo laughed as Eclips rested her head against his shell and yawned. "So tell me what did Master splinter teach you. Self-defense, Attacks, stealth?" Leo looked down to see Eclips had fallen asleep.
"Aw, Dude that's cute she fell asleep in your arms." Mikey laughed.
"Guess all the training wore her out." Leo yawned sitting down on with Eclips now wrapped in the rug as well.
Mikey looked at Raph with a huge smile. "What?" Raph asked not looking up from his comic.
"Leo and Eclips." Mikey said turning and looking at them.
"What about them- Oh." Raph smile as he watched Leo slowly drifted to sleep still holding Eclips.
"You think we should wake them?" Mikey asked poking Leo's cheek.
"Mikey!" Raph said hitting Mikey's hand away "we're only going on patrol I think we will be fine. Now hurry up and get your nun-chucks before Donnie and I leave without you."
"Ok I'm going." Mikey said getting up and running to his room.
"I don't think leaving Eclips with Leo is a good idea." Donnie said as they waited for Mikey.
"Why? You think he'll make her watch Space heroes again?" Raph laughed.
"Ok Let's go." Mikey said running past them and out of the lair.
"Mikey don't run off!" Raph said following him.
'Thinks never change' Donnie sighed following them.
Authors note: Hi guys another short chapter sorry. So I've been on school holidays for awhile now and sadly its coming to an end, so I may not be able to post chapters as often as I would like...
