Raph ran and jumped buildings to get away from the base. He felt like shit. He hasn't done this in a long time. He sat on the edge of the building and put his face into his hands. He felt like crying. He wanted to see her but he was scared. What if she hates me? He thought. After what had happen, Mona wasn't the same. Maybe that's way she left. She didn't want to be there anymore with them. With Raph.
Mona and the three brothers arrived at the base. They were greeted by April and Casey. April cried and ran to hug Mona. Mona smiled. She missed her best friend. Casey came and joined in. Mona cried tears of joy. After the moment, they all went into the base and to the board room to talk. Mona told April and Casey the same story she told the boys. Casey got angry as the Mona went on with her tale. He couldn't imagine the torture she went through. All the experiments, all the lies told to her. He thought of Mona with the up most respect. She was brave and strong.
"Mona, you must be hungry. Why don't we get you something to eat?" April asked. They all walked out of the room and to the cafeteria. Mona looked at the place. If was a little dark. People were dressed in protective gear.
"After you left, Shredder's army got stronger. They had stronger weapons and mutants." April explained. Mona thought back to a moment in the lab. Stockman took a lot of blood out of her and ejected it into humans. 'That must be where the new mutants came from.'
They reached the cafeteria. April took Mona to the kitchen while that others sat down at a table. People and mutants looked at Mona. Whispering about her and the damage she did to Shredder on her rampage.
They entered the kitchen. April went towards the fridge. Mona stopped. She looked at a red cloth. She picked it up.
"Mona? Are you okay?" April asked. Mona looked at April. She had tears in her eyes.
"Wh-where's Raphael?"
"Mona, he's okay. He's out somewhere. He'll come back." April assured her friend. She just didn't know how to tell her that he was with someone else.
Raph stood in the same spot for almost an hour. He kept going back and forth on whether or not to go back to the base and see Mona. He was watching old hidden videos of Mona on his phone. Donnie showed him how to hide things on his phone the first time Mez went snooping.
He smiled a little at the video. He always watched it when she popped up in his thoughts. It was Mona laughing hysterically at something on TV. He loves her laugh. Mona turned to his and pouted. 'Why are you recording me?' She asked. 'No reason.' He said. She smiled and smacked the phone out of his hand. The screen shook and he could see Mona jump him and kiss his cheek. She looked at the phone and waved. The screen went black. He smiled and chuckled. Then he got a phone call. It was April. He ignored it.
He went to the next video. It was Mona with her back towards him. Everyone surrounding her. 'Come on. Walk for mommy!' She said. Raph felt his heart drop when the angle moved and showed a toddler David falling on his butt and trying to get back up. David got back up and walked to Mona. Everyone cheered as she picked him up and kissed him all over his face. Raph stopped the video.
"Oh god." He said into his hand. Then April called again. He finally picked up. Before he could get a word in April yelled at him.
"Where the fuck do you get off running away like that then not answering my phone calls!"
"What do you want? He growled. April stood silent.
"Raph?" It was Mona. He almost dropped the phone. He couldn't speak. He hadn't heard he voice in so long.
"Mona?" His voice cracked.
"Raph, where are you?" He could tell that she was about to cry.
"I'm-I'm a couple blocks away."
"Where?" Mona asked.
"96 and 8th." Mona hung up. Was she coming?
