"The serum is almost to it's full capability sir. I just need to make a few more adjustments and it will be ready." Dr. Chaplin said as he turned towards Dr. Stockman's remanding form.

"Good. Soon we'll finally be able to break down those meddling turtles and their freak girlfriends once and for all!" Stockman said through gritted teeth as him and Chaplin both turned their heads towards the sliding open doors of the lavatory.

"I am only here to make sure that everything goes as planned Dr. Stockman."

"Mistress Karai…I-I assure you…"

"You're foolish banter are not the results I seek! Give me the plans of this so called brilliant plan of yours." She said holding at her hand as he looked towards Chaplin to place the clipboard he hugged to his body over to Karai. She gave him an even glare as he shifted nervously handing it over. "And how do you plan to inject this fear serum as you call it into our enemies?" She asked crossing her arms tightly to her chest as Chaplin took the clipboard back with a shaky hand.

"Well I…" Chaplin started as Stockman pushed his way in front of him.

"We have our ways of getting those freaks to come to us. Give them an inch and they'll give us a mile. I have read and re-read the plans myself Ms. Karai. I have no doubt that this will not fail us." Stockman smiled smugly as Karai crinkled her nose in disgust.

"Let us hope so Dr. Stockman. You have failed my father in the past and he has been all too kind to you. Fail me and believe that your punishments will not be so merciful." She said as the doors slid shut behind her.

"Let's get outta here. I'm sicka standin' around waitin' on these stupid trainin' sessions! I need to just go out, fight somethin' I don't care what." Jacqueline said as threw her leather jacket over her shoulders turning towards Raphael who sat on the ledge of her bed.

"You just got back from trainin' and you're worried about goin' out?" He asked arching an eye ridge to her. She rolled her eyes with an irritated sigh opening her window.

"You comin' or not?" She said climbing out and onto her fire escape.

"Women." He said in a sigh getting from the bed and slipping under the window closing it softly. "So whadya got planed now hot shot?" He asked as her got to the top watching her hair wisp beside her head in the wind. She looked over her shoulder with a smirk.

"Still got ya Nightwatcher helmet?" She asked as a slow smirk went across his face.

"I still don't understand it." Lexine said as she typed away on one of Donatello's computers in his lab. "Her power must have increased some how during that session with Ms. Albarn, however her chemical balance stayed neutral, as if unaffected."

"Well, what about her mutagenic gene?" Donnie asked over his shoulder. Lexi looked to her right at another screen, rolling across the cement floor to it as her fingers landed on another keyboard.

"That's different." She said with an arched brow. She put her hand to her nose sliding her glasses back up the bridge as Donnie rolled over next to her.

"What?"

"See, there. Her gene looks like its taking over her body entirely. As if she's mutating, her body becoming more accustom to her powers and settling with them at a higher rate." Lexi said as she ran her finger along the screen that showed an outline of Fiona's body with her blood stream and mutant gene running rapidly through it.

"Huh…Isn't that what he wants of all of you?"

"Yes, but it's the way it happened that is concerning me." Lexi said as she looked towards Donnie with a grimace.

"Ya know, as much as I love being your guys' ginny pig, can I please get off this table now?" Fiona whined from the middle of the lab as she lay on a medicine table with pads on her head, chest and biceps.

"In a minuet." Lexi said over her shoulder.

"Ah man…" She sighed "But Mikey just got this really rad video game from Casey and…"

"Hush!" Lexi said as she clicked on the keyboard.

"Ah…" She turned her head as she heard a soft meow come from the table as the orange kitten jumped on her stomach. "Klunk, save me Klunk! Get Mikey, call 911! Tell them I have been kidnapped by the mad scientists of the west! Call Auntie Em, and the Tin Man!" Fiona said nodding her head towards Donnie and Lexine. Klunk looked towards the two techno-geeks and back towards Fiona. "C'mon Ninja Kitty, sick'em!" Klunk tilted his head slightly as he let out another squeaky meow. "Ah…You're no help!" Fiona sighed as Klunk curled on her chest with rhythmic purrs.

"Willya can it for like two seconds Fe. We just have to figure this out and then you can go and kill some more of your brain cells with Mikey playing hours of high colored, mindless video games." Lexi said rolling her eyes.

"Hey! They're not mindless! You need a lot of hand eye coordination with those games! And like, fast reaction time to press the button with your thumb, and it's really hard not to get a hand cramp!" She said in a scowl as Donnie and Lexi both sighed.

"What exactly were you thinking about when the force field happened?" Donnie asked as Fiona shrugged rubbing Klunk's head.

"Iunno…"

"Yes you do Fiona, you have to tell us if you want us to help you." Lexi said turning in her chair and walking towards her twin. Fiona looked up at her sister with glossed over eyes as Klunk picked his head up to Lexine moving his head into her hand. "Just, it'll be better if you let it out." Fiona sighed turning her head away as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Everyone was dead. Mikey, you, Jade…everyone. I-I was left facing the Shredder on my own, in this weird land of dead things and cracked dirt…" She said turned back towards Lexine now as Donnie still typed away on the computer. Her mutant gene started to roll faster through her blood stream as he tried to keep up with the chemical reaction happening with her powers on the screen. "He held Mikey up and, and I just got so angry. He took my family and the one thing I ever really got to love and loved me back. Like love, love not sister love." She said trying to explain her emotions towards Michelangelo as Lexi smiled at her definition. "So I got angry and, this overwhelming feeling of sadness take over my body. It started at my stomach and up through my chest and out through my arms. I guess that explains the whole whoosh factor?" She said with a grimace as Lexi nodded her head. She helped her sister up from the table peeling away the pads from her skin as Fiona sighed holding Klunk on her lap. "I guess I'm justa head case huh?" She asked a Lexi tangled the wires in a ball, looking at her twin with a raised eyebrow.

"No. You're imagination like Frank said is vivid. You have a lot of things to offer us, if you can contain this power of yours. You're the strongest one of us now with three powers to control. You've been holding in a lot of emotions and just things that someone our age doesn't see in a life time, never mind in a couple of years. We all went through a lot and I think your way of copping is similar to that of another sister who shall remain nameless." Lexi said arching her brow in annoyance at her sister Jade's incapability to show weakness, or signs of needing help to save everyone around her and leave herself. "You just need to know that you're not alone in this. You have us, all of us to help and train and be there for you whenever you need it." She said running her finger through her sisters raven black hair. Fiona smiled nodding her head as she slid off the table as Klunk purred against her neck.

"I guess you're right. So am I gonna live doc? Tell me I get to see George again before summers out?" She said in a fake southern accent as Lexi rolled her eyes smacking her upside the head.

"Get outta here dork-a-tron." Lexi said shoving her sister towards the doorway as Fiona chuckled with a slight stumble.

"Dork-a-tron?" She asked with a raised eye brow. "I like it!" She said leaving the room with Klunk in her arms as she jumped over the back of the couch landing on Mikey's sleeping body. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" She said poking him above his chest plate as he woke with a start to her landing on him.

"Is everything alright? You alright right?" He asked as she giggled leaning down and kissing his beak.

"Right, right." She said as he smiled wrapping his arms around her. "Now c'mon Chucks I wanna play that new game!"

Jade sat silently in the middle of the dojo floor as Master Splinter and Leonardo sat on either side of her. Their slow even breaths filled the only sound in the room as she listened to it intently, moving her own chest with theirs. She cleared her mind of everything she had seen and thought in the past. The battles she had won and lost, the blood shed, jealousy, hate, angry, hurt, everything she had ever left she let seep slowly away from her and in the air hovering.

She opened her eyes as she sat in an opened field with iced over mountains in the distance. She furrowed her brow standing up as the breeze let her skirt flow against her legs. She looked down at her body as she wore a blue dress and bare feet, her hair loose around her shoulders as it lifted from them in the soft, clean wind that grazed against her body. She took in a slow breath, taking in the smells of the land. Earthy, wooden smells with the slight hint of incense somewhere in the distance.

She looked towards the new smell as she saw a large garden with bonsai trees cut perfectly and a path that led to a platform in an ancient Japanese structure. She let a smile go across her face as she started the path, lad out by smoothed stones. They curved under her feet as she walked slowly towards the platform seeing two figures sitting in lotus position.

She stopped as one raised their head. She felt a rush of heat come to her face as it pinged in her heart watching his blue bandanna flow beside his head. She felt herself unable to move forward as his eyes met hers. She dropped to her knees, bowing her head as Splinter rose his next to look down at her.

"You have done well my child." He said slowly and carefully as she smiled again bowing her head. "You're mind is a wicked and dark thing that only you know its true twists and uncertain turns. I cannot venture any further than you wish so you have come to ours. Leonardo has master the art of meditation years ago and it is as serene and calming as it is now. Clouds of fear, and darkened hate have formed over mountains before but only a true warrior can defeat what is in themselves." He said pointing a sharpened nail towards her as she nodded her head keeping silent. "You have to learn to trust yourself and your powers if you wish you help your family. No more of this living in fear of your past. Confront it and learn from it instead of fighting against it. Let everything flow within you slowly and evenly as it flows out the same. You can only defeat those things you fear when you tear down those walls blocking out the light that wishes to break through. You are good my child, in all ways. You accepted my family, my sons for who they are. You have given Leonardo a chance to love as I always wished he could, now it is my turn to help you out of this prison of your mind that has tormented you so."

She rose her head slowly meeting his eyes as Leonardo sat still, looking at her with thoughtful caring eyes. She felt the sides of her mouth turn in a smile as he did the same. She shifted her gaze back to Splinter as he rose to his feet.

"You must let us both in. Into your mind and into yourself. If you wish us to help you Jade, we need to be able to test you and break through your walls, your thriving darkness that you still hold onto. We will seek out the light that shines dimly in your strong mind and bring it forward to shine to its full potential." Splinter said as Jade nodded her head again. He walked down the stairs towards her placing a furry paw on her shoulder as she looked up at him. "Stand." He said slowly as he took her hand in his walking back towards Leonardo taking his son's hand. "First, you need to let him in." He said as he put Jade's hand into Leonardo's. Leo grasped it firmly meeting Jade's eyes as she let another meek smile go to her face. Leo stood slowly as her matching blue dress to his color bandanna flowed with the picking up of the wind.

"Good, they're still in the dojo." Jacqueline said as she walked out of the alcove towards Raphael who leaned against the bricks.

"So, how we gonna do this?"

"Easy. We get your black duffle bag, put it in there then when we get back topside we listen to a few reports pick a good one and bust some heads." She said with a smile as she walked towards the trophy room. She flicked on the soft light looking at the helmets on the wall of the small room. Raphael walked in behind her as he looked at her. She smirked reaching down and picking up his Nightwatcher helmet from the shelve it sat on.

"What are you two doing?"

Jacqueline dropped the helmet as her and Raphael turned around quickly seeing Mikey standing in the doorway with two cans of soda in his hand.

"Nothin'. Go back to your game shell for brains." Raph said as he turned back towards Jac. She sighed trying to settle her pounding heart from the surprise as she picked the helmet up again shoving it quickly into Raph's duffle bag. "You sure 'bout this?" He asked with a worried look on his face. She smiled kissing his lips softly as she walked out of the room.

"What's there to worry 'bout?" She asked as she walked towards the stairs to go into the sewers. Raph grimaced at her composure and followed, hoisting the bag on his shoulder.

"They're up to something." Mikey said as Fiona shoved a handful of chips into her mouth. She shrugged going back to the movie they started after Mikey beat Fiona in a few rounds. "So…" He said looking over at her as she watched the screen intently as explosions went off, her face glowing yellow and red as he smiled at her leaning back against the couch. He lifted his arms in a fake yawn sliding one around her shoulder. She smiled looking at him from the corner of her eyes.

"So what?" She asked as she kept her face forward.

"I did beat you fair and square."

"It was a stupid bet." She said putting another chip in her mouth and crunching.

"Aw, c'mon babe. No it wasn't! I beat you, and you know it. Now, I want my victory prize." He said crossing his arms in a smug smirk. She rolled her eyes in a sigh as she leaned forward kissing his lips in a quick peck. He furrowed his brow. "What the shell do you call that?"

"A kiss." She said looking back towards the screen.

"You can do better than that." He said arching an eye ridge as she sighed again turning towards him. She slid onto his lap as shifted nervously to her new position. The last time she had been on his lap, in this type of situation was when he was human, and naked. He swallowed hard as she played with the strands of his bandanna over his shoulder. She leaned forward pressing her lips against his softly, at first as she slowly opened her mouth against his.

He clenched his eyes shut as his hands gripped onto the soft tank top at the small of her back, making her body press tighter to his plastron. She moaned from the movement as he shifted again, feeling his heart leap into his throat. She let her tongue slide past his lips gliding against his as he let out a throaty, deep sound of enjoyment as she smiled against his lips, tilting her head to one side to deepened their kiss.

She pulled away with a smile giving his lips another soft kiss as he clung onto her bottom lip as she pulled away. He let his heart beat settle as she ran her hands up his arms that stayed at her waist, up onto his shoulders squeezing the muscles in her hands.

"Told ya." He said with a smirk as she giggled putting her head down on his shoulder. "And don't get me wrong it was good and all, but not my prize." He said with his smile remaining as she groaned lifting her head up and looking at him. He smiled wider as she couldn't help but laugh at his expression.

"Fine." She said rolling off his lap as he squeaked with happiness sitting on the floor in front of her. She put her legs on either side of him as her hands rested on his shoulders.

"Now remember a full ten minuets." He said looking over his shoulder as she rolled her eyes starting to message his strong shoulders.

"You just wait, when I get good at that game I'm gonna make you message my feet! And their gonna be all gross and sweaty 'cause I'm gonna work out before I come here! So ha!" She said in a pout as he chuckled watching the movie and enjoying his victory message.

Jacqueline and Raphael sat on the roof top ledge as reports came through his helmet he held on his lap. He watched the streets carefully waiting for something, anything as Jacqueline did the same, on the edge of her seat with anticipation.

"C'mon, there hasta be somethin' goin' on tonight." She growled hitting her fist against the ledge side her as she cracked the cement under her knuckles.

"Since the Shredder has been gone there ain't that much action goin' on." He shrugged as she looked over at him. "Why do ya think we end out patrols earlier now? Nothin' happens." He said motioning towards the empty streets as she sighed.

"This bites man. I wanted some…Wait… what was that?" She asked as he furrowed his brow looking towards where she pointed. They both stood as they saw more clearly a group of Purple Dragons coming out of an old run down building they sat next to.

They looked at one another before leaping the gap of the buildings watching from above as the Dragons moved through the alleyway into the street towards a waiting car. Jac narrowed her eyes as she saw the window roll down.

She ran over to the ledge of the building closer to the street as she tired to get a look of the person inside the car. She could hear the low husk of his voice as she leaned her body as flat against the ledge as she could, straining herself to hear. Raphael crouched next to her watching the Dragons on the side of the building carefully.

The car drove away as Jac jumped to her feet.

"We should follow it." She said turned towards Raph as he sighed nodding his head. He looked back down at the remanding Dragons for a moment before following Jacqueline as she ran and leaped over the roof tops, trying to keep up with the speeding black car.

They came to a large building close by the docks as Raph and Jac leaned on their knees trying to catch their breath. She watched as the shadow of a large man exited the car and walked into the building. She growled in frustration on being able to make him out as she jumped to a run again, leaping off the side of the building. She flipped and landed in the darkness of an alleyway between crates on the pier.

She heard Raph land beside her after a moment as she slowly crept forward, keeping her senses on high. She opened her mind to those around her. She could hear Raphael's thoughts as she smirked a little to the pleasure he was getting from being out with her again. She couldn't pick up on anyone else as they made their way closer to the large light up building.

They crouched behind a crate as they both peered their heads to the side watching shadows move along the windows. She furrowed her brow in concentration as Raphael kept an eye out on their backs, watching for anyone that came close. He gripped the hilts of his sais at ready as she tried to search the building for the large man.

"It hadda be Hun." She said softly. She slowly got to her feet as she saw the outline in the window of the man. He motioned with his hands towards another smaller shadow as he turned and got out of sight. She growled looking around the area to try and get closer. Raph grabbed her arm before she ran for another crate.

"Maybe we should wait for the othas?" He asked as she furrowed her brow.

"You were likin' this a second ago?"

"Yeah, that was before the thought of the odds being against us came to mind." He said motioning towards the large building. "That place is crawlin' with Dragons. There are two of us Jac." He said as she sighed.

"Fine lets…" She turned with him as her eyes widened to the group of Dragons behind them. Raph twisted his sais as Jac narrowed her eyes stepping into a stance as she brought her hands up. "At least I get my fight." She smirked over at Raph who didn't look all to thrilled at the idea. She just chuckled turned back towards the Dragons as they showed their weapons. "Bring it." She said in a deep tone as Raph held his sais out in front of him, waiting for the to strike.

There was a yell of men before the low thud of their pounding feet on the soil. Jacqueline jumped into a kick, delivering it to them across the face as they fell back letting way for another to go at her. She kept her smile on her face as she ducked out of the way of their metal bar. She held her arm up as it slammed against. She furrowed her brow looking up at the sound of metal hitting metal as the shade of her skin broke away and shown the shimmering color of silver. Her breath caught her throat with surprise as her skin tone slowly faded back over where she was hit. She let an evil smirk come to her lips as she let out a growl running at the bewilder Dragon. He put his hands up in defense as she sung her fists at him, knocking him back taking out more Dragons as he fell.

Raphael looked towards her as she smiled back. He caught a bat with his sai as he shoved them off him with a grunt, jumping and kicking him across the face. He landed, flipping backwards in a split kick to another two that ran at him from both sides. Jacqueline was breathing harder now as she picked up a Dragon and threw him over her shoulder, twisting his arm as she kicked him in the gut. She turned grabbed a bar with her hand as she gritted her teeth from the pressure he applied with his strength down on her. Her arm shook as she moved down on one knee trying to push him away. She narrowed her eyes in a growl, letting her leg sweep under his as he fell to his back. She grabbed the bar, standing and smacking it across the Dragon's face. She turned around as her and Raphael stood with groaning and injured men around them. She smiled towards him as they looked towards the building to the sound of more men coming.

"C'mon." Raph said grabbing Jac's arm. She followed as he helped her up on a crate that lead to the roof tops.

They ran for a few blocks, before catching their breath. She started to chuckle as he looked over at her confused with a raised eye ridge. She looked back at him, still laughing as her skin tone started to show back on her arm. She let her breath settle before sitting up. She walked over to him taking one of his sais as he watched her still confused as she held up a finger.

"Watch." She said. She raised her hand above her arm as she held it out in front of her. She slammed the steal weapon against her forearm as Raphael lunged to stop her. She smiled at him as he saw the silver appear on her arm for a moment and slowly fade back to her skin tone.

"What the fuck…" He said in slow words as she chuckled again.

"Right! That's what I said!" She said in excitement as he took the sai away from her as she raised it again.

"Alright crazy. Let's get you back to the lair before you start smackin' yourself with otha things." He said eyeing her carefully as he pushed her forward towards a fire escape.
