"Uncle Leo, Uncle Leo!" Alexia's little voice says as she bounces at the foot of Leonardo's bed. Samantha groaned as she turned on her back looking at the little girl, whose curly locks bounced with her movements.
"Auntie Sammy!" She exclaimed as she jumped on Samantha's stomach, having Sam oof in pain.
"Hi little one." She said with a grimace moving the hair from the little girl's face.
"Where Uncle Leo?" She asked picking up the covers where Leo would be laying. Sam smiled taking the little girl's hand.
"In the dojo."
"He always in da dojo." She pouted crossing her arms. "Harmony said that I should learn katawna 'cause they be easier than daddies would."
"I think that you can learn whatever you want. But, you're still too young. Meditation first." Samantha said with a smirk kissing her niece's cheek, snorting back a laugh and moving her head as the little beauty in her arms giggled. Sam got up as Alexia jumped on her back for a piggyback ride. "C'mon, let's go get breakfast." Sam said propping the little girl higher on her back as she clung around Sam's neck.
Sam smiled running down the hall, spinning around in circles as the little girl giggled. She made her way to the stairs bouncing with every step. Raphael and Frankie sat at the table looking tired as Frankie held her head up with her hand as her elbow braced on the table. Raphael leaned back in his chair as he spun his coffee mug, picking his head up as his heard the familiar giggle of his little girl.
"Lose something?" Sam smirked as she let Lexi slid off her back.
"She wouldn't let us even if we tired." Frankie yawned as the little girl jumped on the couch. "She's been up since earlier than Leo."
"Wow…" Sam said looking over her shoulder at the little girl. Frankie nodded her head as Sam sat down at the table. Frankie ran her hand through her messy red hair as she placed her hand on her cheek to hold it up.
"So?" Raphael said looking at both of them as they picked their heads up slowly.
"So what?" Frankie asked in yawn.
"What is this important thing you wanted to tell us?" He said throwing his arms towards Sam. She sighed looking towards the dojo.
"Give me a minuet." She said getting from the table as she walked in the alcove towards the dojo.
"She betta tell us, or I'm gonna tell Leo." Raph said crossing his arms. Frankie rolled her eyes.
"Sam'll know what's best, just hold ya horses Big Red." She said patting his arm as she got up and joined her little girl on the couch.
"Hey." Sam said softly as Leo braced his legs in a stance. His arms flexed as he gripped the hilts of his katanas out in front of him. His eyes focused and hard on the spot in front of him he had been fighting. He leaned up straight as he turned his head towards her, letting the intensity drop from his expression.
"Hey." He said nodding his head slightly.
"I have something I need to tell everyone, can you join us please?" She asked as he nodded his head. "Don, Mikey get down here." She said knocking on the lab door softly as Mikey opened his and Emma's door walking down, Emma following shortly after with Logan in her arms.
"What is it?" Donnie asked as he leaned on the back of the couch. Sam ran her hand through her hair as she looked up at Leo shortly than back down.
"It seems as though the Foot and Purple Dragons are joined together." Sam said picking her head up as the eyes were on her. Emma's eye went wide as Frankie nodded her head.
"And?" Raph said crossing his arms. She furrowed her brow for a moment and looked towards the turtle brothers as they all gave her the same expression, waiting for more. She shrugged.
"That's…That's it." She said as Frankie looked at them in the same confused expression.
"Is that not enough for ya?" She asked leaning against the table.
"Well, we already knew this. We've known it for some time." Donnie said with a shrug.
"Oh…" Sam said. "Well, ok then."
"Maybe next time you should inform us of your so called 'eyes and ears' of the city. I'm sure we'll know more." Leo said before turning and leaving for the dojo. Sam narrowed her eyes slightly.
"There is activity." Mikey spoke up. "Dudes, maybe they're up to something?"
"What are you sayin'?" Raph said eyeing his little brother as he shrugged.
"I think we should go and see what's going down."
"Mikey does have a point." Donnie spoke up.
"If nothing else at least scope it out." Frankie shrugged. Raph looked over at Leo as he looked towards Sam.
"We go together." He said finally crossing his arms over his plastron. Sam nodded her head.
"Ah man, it can be like old times!" Mikey exclaimed punching Donnie in the arm. Donnie arched an eyebrow rubbing the sore spot.
Leonardo and Samantha raced beside each other as they made their way to the new Purple Dragon headquarters. They stopped as neither of them had broken a sweat from their half way across town run. Michelangelo came up behind them as Frankie and Raphael was next.
"Alright Donnie, when I give the signal meet at the docks." Sam said to her ear piece.
"Got it boss." Donnie said over the head phones from the battle shell. She smirked dropping her hand as she looked over her shoulder at Frankie.
"So…we just waitin' out?" Mikey asked as he leaned against the roof top ledge. Frankie shrugged as Sam nodded her head.
"It's too risky to just go in there. We need to wait and actually see something first Mikey. Once there's movement, we go in." Sam said with an intense look on her face.
"Awesome, so it's a stake out?"
"Kinda." Sam smirked as Mikey looked around him.
"Where's the coffee and donuts?" He said as Raph smacked him upside the head. "Ow..."
"Wait…" Sam said as she saw someone move towards the front enterence. She put her hands up as she crouched down with everyone following her slowly. She squinted her eyes on the movement in the window as they slid a Foot Solider mask from their head. "Andy." She said with a smirk as Frankie looked towards her.
"Zander will be near by."
"If they're smart. So, most likely not. Andy's up to something and it'll probably end up bad." Sam said watching her ex-partner intently. "Leo, you got those binoculars Donnie gave you?" She asked holding out her hand as she felt the weight of them go on her palm. She smiled putting them to her face as Andy was clearer. He was searching for something on his person as he finally smiled taking it out. He flipped a similar phone open that Samantha once used to report back to base. She sighed shaking her head. "Idiot."
"What, lemme see?" Frankie said as Sam went to give them to her stopping and focusing on something on a higher level.
"Wait." Sam said softly as she bit her lip in concentration. She focused on two Purple Dragons cornering a Foot Solider. They ripped the mask from his face as she gasped seeing Zander being thrown against a wall. She growled moving her direction back down towards Andy as he stayed on the phone. "Ah you idiot do something!" Sam said getting to her feet with anticipation as Frankie followed.
"Should we…"
"No. This is their mission." Sam sighed growling again as Zander got punching in the face. She noticed Andy move quickly as he put his mask back on shoving the phone into a hidden place on himself. He ran upstairs as Sam let out a sigh of relief. She focused on Andy as he walked over towards the Dragons. They turned towards him in a bow as Zander's mouth started to move. Andy walked over to him as he looked to be squaring off his shoulders. Sam furrowed her brow, adjusting the vision to go closer as Andy lifted Zander to his feet. He looked to be pleading, begging. His hands and limbs were trembling as his head started to shake back and forth. Andy lifted his hand as it contacted against Zander's cheek. Sam gasped again as Andy threw his friend, his partner to the ground in an unconscious form.
Frankie stood beside her with wide eyes as her hand went to her mouth to cover it. Raph, Leo and Mikey looked from one another back to the girls as Sam placed her hand slowly to her ear piece.
"Donnie. Meet us at the docks."
"You alright?"
"Yeah…" Sam said as she dropped the binoculars slowly to her side. "That wasn't right. Something…It isn't right. I know it's not, I can feel something. He's…Andy wouldn't just do that." Sam said shaking her head as Frankie turned slowly following the group as they started for the docks.
"Maybe he was trying to remain undercover?" Frankie suggested as Sam shook her head.
"The two of them out of been able to take them out. Zander was scared, he's never scared, not when I saw him." Sam said furrowing her brow. "Something happened that distorted his mind, or some kind of torture that…" Sam stopped clenching her eyes shut as she tired to push away the images that rushed back to her mind.
"Maybe we should wait to talk about the possibilities." Leo said putting an arm around her shoulders. She sighed nodding her head as Frankie brushed her body against Raph's as he hugged it close to him.
