Donny wanted to understand what the Kraang mutagen did to me a little more, so he asked me to be a guinea pig for a harmless research experiment. He had me use my Psychokinesis to keep a small metal ball up for five minutes, a task that was easy by this time. He had my head wired to a monitor to record how much of the brain I was accessing.
"The experiment is finished, you can drop the ball Luke," I let the ball fall back onto the machine it was on.
"So, What's the result?"
"This is incredible!" Donny said. "Your mutation is access to four times the brainpower that normal people, mutant or otherwise has."
"Meaning?"
"A normal human has access to ten percent of the brain. At twenty percent you attain Telekinesis. At thirty percent you have telepathy, and at forty percent you'll be able to teleport things and people to you, or to other places though I would not recommend it on yourself."
"Oh…" this was weird. I could access more of my brain than any normal human or mutant, and that was my mutation? That's kinda weird considering all the other mutations that happened because of the Kraang stuff. April and Casey came around every now and then to make sure I stayed in touch with the surface, particularly School. But I had no trouble living with the turtles until I got a call on my T-Phone. I didn't set a caller id for everyone yet, but I recognized my home phone number.
"Hello?"
"Luke where are you!?" my sister Terra yelled.
"Terra, calm down. Didn't Tom tell you?"
"He told me you were fed up with us and left, but that's all he'd say besides the number he told us to call."
"I couldn't take it anymore. I can't go back home. I'm not Tom and you of all people should know that." From the other side of the phone I could feel Terra's Shock. "I'm staying with some friends, not too far from school so I can keep up with my schoolwork. If you need something else, you know how to contact me." I hung up on her before she could say anything else.
"That sounded rough," Donny said.
"You only have one family," Splinter said as he walked into the lab. "You should return to yours as soon as you realize they need you."
"They don't need me," I scoffed.
"Then why did Terra call?" my T-Phone rang again. Same number. I picked up. "I told you-"
"Hello Luke," Shredder's voice came from the other end. My anger subsided into fear.
"What are you doing in my house!?" I yelled.
"You hold the key to the home of Hamato Yoshi, who I will find. Tell me where he is, and I'll spare your family." I looked at Splinter, covered the speaker, and told him the situation.
"Give me the phone," he said. "Hello, Saki… yes, the boy is with me… why don't we meet again and I can end you there?... you took my daughter and turned her against me, I will not have you killing my sons!… Central Park, midnight it is… you sleep well too, Shredder."
"Sensei, you can't do this!" I yelled.
"It is what he wanted fifteen years ago, it is what he will get now."
"But it's MY family! You don't have to have a hand in this!"
"I want to help however I can." He walked out of the room.
"Donny, please! Talk some sense into him!"
"I can't," Donny said. "When he makes a decision, he sticks to it. Like when he decided to train us."
