Connor soon woke to the sound of sneezing. Blinking tiredness from his eyes he followed the noise which led him to Amy's room. After she was shot, Amy had gotten sick. Donnie has been trying to take care of her, but her body had never gotten sick with the mutagen in her veins before so it's like an average cold. Don was able to make a medicine for her and it seems to be working, though she's always able to wake everyone up in the middle of the night when it wears off.
As Connor neared the room he heard the sound of Amy's voice.

"Yuck!" she coughed.

Connor smiled as he walked in. "Look's delicious," he joked.

Amy gave him an annoyed look. "Very funny..."

Donnie, who was sitting on the end of her bed, stood up. "That was the last batch of medicine I had." He sighed.

"I could run to the store to grab you some more supplies," Connor offered.

Donnie nodded. "That would be great, Thanks. Here," he added as he left the room. "Let me give you a list of what I need."

Connor looked back to Amy. "So how are you feeling?" He asked.

Amy smiled with tired eyes. "I'm hanging in there."

Connor then remember something. "Oh! Wait here." He quickly rushed back to his room, grabbing a small box with a bow before running out again. He handed it to Amy. "It's not much but I wanted to give you something for Valentines day."

Amy smiled. "Awe, Connor you didn't have to do that." She took the box and opened it. "Connor..." she breathed, her mother open. "I-I don't know what to say." She took out a golden locket with a small gem in the middle. "It's beautiful. How did you get it?"

"I bought it with the money I saved up." Connor explained.

Amy put it on. "I love it. Thanks."

Donnie came in and handed Connor a list. "Here's all the stuff you need."

"Thanks." Connor walked out of the room. "I'll be back in a bit."

"Be careful!" Amy called after him.

Once on the surface, Connor headed toward the store with his thick coat on to protect him from the snow. He looked up to the stars in the night sky, sighing at the thought of Rin being one of them.
Without warning, something grabbed his shoulders

"Boo!"

"Ahh!" Connor yelled, jumping in fear.

"You should've seen your face, Dude!" The voice laughed as he came out from behind Connor.

"Mikey? What are you doing here?"

"Amy asked me to keep you company." Mikey explained.

Connor rolled his eyes as he started walking again. "I'm just going to the store real fast."

"You never know!" Mikey exclaimed. "A super-mucho-bad-mutant-villain could be around every corner."

"Yeah, sure." Connor scoffed. "Look, there's the store. Just stay here until I come back."

Mikey sighed and lean back in an alley way. "Fine..." he muttered before his eyes went wide. "Uh... Dude?"

Connor blinked and turned around, seeing a teenager, his age, with short black hair. Connor took a step back before blinking again and smiling. "Tyler!" He exclaimed, happy to see his old friend.

Tyler gave a small smile. "Good to see you again." He looked over Connors shoulder. "You gonna introduce me to your friend?" he asked, eyeing Mikey.

Connor sighed. "This is Michelangelo."

Tyler smirked and walked up to him. "A turtle." he murmured. "Kraang mutation I'm guessing?" he added more loudly.

Mikey narrowed his eyes. "How'd you know?"

"When you're a purple dragon, word gets around."

"You're a purple dragon?" Mikey exclaimed, taking a step back.

Connor looked at Tyler. "I thought you left all that stuff behind?"

Tyler shrugged. "I got people to pay off. Speaking of." He snapped his fingers and foot bots came down into the alley.

Connor took a step toward Tyler as Mikey ran to Connor's side. "Tyler, what is this?"

Tyler smirked as the robots lined up behind him. "Shredder's paying big bucks for that sister of yours."

"You leave Amy out of this." Connor said with through gritted teeth. "You want her, you go through me."

Tyler sighed in annoyance. "That's the point." he snapped his fingers and the foot bots attacked.

Connor grabbed his dagger from his back pocket while Mikey grabbed his nunchucks.

"There's too many!" Mikey cried as he was quickly overpowered.

Before he could answer, he was dog piled by a hoard of foot bots. They held his arms and got him to his feet. Connor struggled. "Let me go!"

Tyler smirked as he twirled a knife in his hand. "Sorry buddy, but I can't do that. I need you to lure Amy to Shredder's lair."

"Why." Connor growled.

"Well her father is looking for her." Tyler explained.

"Father...?" Connor gasped. "Rins alive?"

Tyler laughed. "She hasn't told you?"

"Told me what?"

"You find out soon enough." Tyler walked over to Mikey as the foot bots stood him up like Connor, keeping a firm grip. "As for you. I need you to send a message to your little family. Either Amy comes to Shredder's lair, and comes alone, or her brother here dies."

Mikey opened his mouth to argue but before he could Tyler shoved the knife in his arm. Mikey let out a yell of pain as Tyler kept slashing him.

Connor struggled as the foot bots let go of Mikey, letting him fall to his knees panting. "Mikey run!"

Mikey looked up at Connor, his eyes wide.

"Go!" He repeated. Connor watched Mikey get up and weakly go into the sewers.

Tyler smirked and walked over to Connor. "Don't worry. I'll deal with you soon enough." Before Connor could reply, Tyler knocked him out cold.

Amy stretched, walking to the couch. Donnie finally agreed that she could stretch her legs a little. She was about to sit down when Mikey came in, bloody and hurt. She gasped. "Guys!" she screamed.

Everyone rushed in. "Mikey!" Raph gasped. Donnie ran off to get his first aid kit as Raph and Leo ran over to Mikey. Master Splinter came in as well and rushed over.

"My son! What has happened to you?"

Mikey winced with every breath. "T-They got Connor," He stuttered weakly. "Said... If Amy didn't go to Shredder's lair alone they'd... they'd kill him."

Amy gasped, holding onto the necklace he had given her. "Connor?" She breathed, not wanting to believe it was true. She wanted to think it was just another nightmare, that she would wake up soon, but she knew that wasn't true. "I have to go after him!"

Leo shook his head as Donnie came in. "No. We can't let you go alone."

"My brother's life is on the line here!" Amy argued.

"So is mine!" Leo snapped back. His gaze softened as he sighed. "I know you want to save Connor but we need to think this through."

Amy opened her mouth to argue but didn't know what else to say. Without a word, she stomped off to her room, slamming the door.

A couple hours later when the lair was quiet, Amy snuck out of her room and out of the lair, heading to the surface. I'm coming Connor... just hang on...
