"Mikey!" Donnie yelled as he got to where Mikey said he was. "Mikey." Donnie gasped as he picked up Mikey's T-phone, the screen was cracked.

"Your too late turtle." Tiger claw growled. "Your brothers and friend are done for."

Donnie turned to face Tiger-claw who held Mikey's orange mask. "Give them back and I'll give you the retro mutagen." Donnie said.

Tiger-claw smirked. "Why should I trust you?"

"Because." Donnie reached into his bag and pulled out an orange glowing liquid. "I can give you this, right now if you get my brothers and friends. You can use this, turn human and leave without having to worry about a thing."

"Ha you think I would betray the foot clan tha-" Tiger-claw paused as Donnie threw a bag to him.

"I know assassins, they work for pay." Donnie said as Tiger-claw pulled out the money in the bag and begun to count it.

"Impressive amount for a turtle without a job." Tiger-claw chuckled as he pocketed the money.

"I have my ways." Donnie grinned. "So we have a deal?"

Tiger-claw thought for a moment then nodded. "We have a deal turtle. I will retrieve your brothers." Tiger-claw said.

"NO! You will bring me my brothers, Casey Jones and Gemma's brother, Alive." Donnie said.

Tiger-claw smirked widely. "You have studied up on how assassins work. I'm impressed." Tiger-claw said as he threw Donnie Mikey's mask.

"Thanks now hurry up." Donnie said crossing his arms. Tiger-claw nodded and left. Donnie sighed and relaxed a little. "Shell… how am I going to tell Sensei I stole money from him." Donnie banged his head. "Awww I'm so dead!"

*Lair*

Leo smiled as he looked down at Gemma. She had fallen asleep just before the end of the movie and had her head resting on Leo's lap. They had both talked more then they watched the movie. Leo loved listening to her talk about her farm, even if she only could say a bit before getting teary. Leo rubbed her head and slowly got up. He rested her head on a pillow and threw a blanket over her before heading to the lab to cheek on Donnie.

"Donnie?" Leo said as he entered. "Donnie? Bro?" Leo asked as he walked through the lab searching for his brother. Leo frowned when he noticed the shellrazer's jaw where the stealth bike was kept was opened. Leo picked up his photo quickly and called Donnie.

"H-Hey Leo…" Donnie answered.

"Where are you and what's going on?" Leo asked.

Donnie sighed deeply. "Leo what do you think? Casey and Raph rushed into the foot lair leaving Mikey. Mikey called me panicked so I rushed over here. I didn't want to disturbed you and gem so I came myself." Donnie explained.

"What? Donnie you should have told me. I'm you leader and-

"I hired Tiger-claw to get them out." Donnie said.

"YOU WHAT!?" Leo burst not really sure if he heard Donnie right.

"Leo calm down ok. You know I wouldn't do something with out a plan. Look just stay with Gemma for me. We'll be home soon." Donnie said.

"Fine… but you only have the stealth bike. Let me at least come and swap it with the shellrazar." Leo said.

"Can't Tiger-claw might think I'm setting him into a trap." Donnie said.

"And you don't think he's doing the same to you?" Leo asked.

"Leo I'm taking a change, trust me… please." Donnie said.

Leo sighed deeply and nodded. "I trust you Donnie…just don't leave me having to save you."

"I won't. I have to go now Leo." Donnie said.

"Ok… bye." Leo said just before Donnie hung up.

Leo looked at the shellrazar thinking about going after Donnie but decided against it and walked back out to Gemma.

"Everything ok?" Gemma asked as she yawned. Leo sat beside her and sighed.

"Its nothing." Leo said as he wrapped the rug around Gemma again. "Hungry?" Leo asked.

"No… I filled up on pop-corn." Gemma smiled as she picked up the empty bowl.

"Right…" Leo said. "Thirsty?" Leo asked taking the bowl.

"Leo what's wrong?" Gemma asked as she studied Leo's actions.

Leo put the bowl down and looked at Gemma. "I'm worried."

"About?" Gemma asked.

"Umm." Leo rubbed the back of his neck. "Something happened, Donnie-

"Is right here! Nothing to worry about." Donnie said as he came out of the lab. A small bruise on his left cheek and a splash of blood on the other.

"Donnie!?" Leo rushed to his side. "No I should have come." Leo said as he gently touched the bruise making Donnie wince.

"What happened?!" Gemma asked as she stood. "Guys I want to know. You can keep me in the dark all-

"Gee Gem shut up!" Jak shouted as he walked out of the lab. "You never shut up do you?" Gemma stood in shook at the sight of her brother. Jak smirked and hugged Gemma tightly.

"H-How…" Gemma managed to say.

"Rushing into the enemy's base all guns blazing." Raph smirked and elbowed Leo.

"You could have been killed." Leo growled. "Plus I know Donnie got you out." Leo whispered before grabbing Donnie's hand and leading him to the lab. "M-Mikey?" Leo gasped as he saw Mikey laying on Donnie's deck, not moving. "What happened to him?" Leo asked.

Donnie frowned. "I don't know. When Tiger-Claw brought them to me he was already like this." Donnie said. "I cheeked everyone for trackers before we came back, so I know we weren't followed."

"Good." Leo sighed. "Gem's brother seems good. He didn't even reacted to her being a turtle."

"Yeah… Raph and Casey told him on the way here." Donnie said as he began to check over Mikey.

"So… everything went well with your deal with Tiger-claw?" Leo said. Donnie froze at Leo's question.

"Um… not exactly…" Donnie said nervously.

"What happened?" Leo asked as he crossed his arms.

Donnie sighed and untied his mask. "Tiger-claw tried to stab me." Donnie said. He had a long running cut along his face, close to his left eye.

Leo gasped and quickly grabbed something to clean Donnie's wound. "Sit down!" Leo ordered. Donnie sighed but didn't bother arguing. He sat down and let Leo clean his wound. "Shell." Leo said under his breath.

"W-What's wrong?" Donnie asked as Leo looked down at the cloth.

"Tiger-claw must have put something on his blade." Leo said as he showed Donnie the blue goo on the cloth. "You feel ok?"

"Yeah, I feel fine." Donnie nodded. "But I will run a cheek to be safe."

"Sure… I think I might just stay and watch over you too." Leo said.

"Understandable." Donnie said as he got up. "Mikey's fine, he's just been sedated. He'll wake in an hour." Donnie said.

"That's good. I can't really believe Tiger-claw made a deal with you." Leo said as he sat down and Lifted Mikey's head onto his lap.

"Yeah well. I know my stuff about assassins, but I also know Baster Soakman's been trying to make his own Retro mutagen. Tiger-claw was never going to keep it for himself." Donnie said.

"Right, he'll just give it to Sockman so they can make more." Leo said. "Wait is that a bad thing?"

"Not really. I mean who's easier to beat up, super strong mutants or a bunch of guys with pointy objects…. Um wonder why the purple Dragons haven't mutated themselves yet." Donnie laughed.

"Let's hope they don't." Leo sighed. "Hey how's your Plastrol feel?" Leo asked.

Donnie frowned and looked down at the metal on his chest. "Its fine, Mikey wants me to make it into a mirror so he can cheek himself out."

"Oh God Please Don-

Leo stopped as Gemma ran into the lab and hugged Donnie tightly. "Thank you!" she said as tears rolled down her cheeks. Donnie smiled and hugged her back.

*Later*

"Donatello." Splinter said as he entered the living room, where his sons and their new friends were all relaxing. "May I speak with you?"

Donnie frowned and got up slowly. "Sure Sensei." Donnie said following him back into the Dojo.

"I would like speak with you about a money issue. I know you know about the bank account I have from when I was human." Splinter began.

"Yes Sensei I do and I want to apologies." Donnie said keeping his head down. "I needed it to pay for-

"Shh Donatello." Splinter said. "I understand why you did what you did, but I want you to understand that I do not approve of what you did but am willing to forgive you-

"Thanks you Sensei, I won't-

"I wasn't done Donatello." Splinter smirked.

"Oh…" Donnie frowned.

"You are grounded for a month." Splinter said.

"WHAT!? A month!?" Donnie gasped.

"Yes, I see it as a fair punishment." Splinter said. "And I will not change my mind."

"Yes Sensei." Donnie frowned at the ground before walking away.

"Dude you got busted!" Mikey laughed as Donnie entered the living room.

"Shut up Mikey." Donnie growled as he went to sit between Leo and Gemma. Leo made a small whimper like noise that quickly made Donnie move beside Raph. Leo smiled and moved closer to Gemma.

Jak sat by himself on the floor, eying off Leo. "So, you'll be happy to know mum and Dad have your horses." Jak said as he looked down at his phone. "They're going to fly them home. Back to Aussie."

"Fly!? They've never been in a plane! What if-

"Gem their horses! Eat, sleep and poo. They won't give a sh*T." Jak chuckled.

"You're a jerk!" Gemma growled.

"518." Jak laughed.

"518?" Raph questioned.

"518 that's how many times Gemma's called me a jerk this year." Jak said.

"Wow so she calls you a jerk like every day?" Mikey asked.

"Um Mikey how longs a year?" Leo asked.

"Um….. 1000 day." Mikey said.

"365." Donnie said.

"WHAT BUT THAT MEANS CHRISTMAS IS-" Mikey began to count his fingers. "6 DAYS AWAY!"

"You only have three fingers." Donnie said plainly. "There are exactly 134 days." Donnie said.

"Right so Gemma's called me a jerk 518 times within a 231 days." Leo smirked.

"Yeah but if we take all the days Gem was missing-

"Can you guys just quit it!?" Gemma growled. "Donnie you're supposed to be making something to turn me back into a human! Go work!" Gemma said pushing Donnie towards his lab.

"Ok, Ok, I'm going." Donnie laughed.
