April nods with an interested expression. "What kind?"

Spike crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow.

"Well, I had Donnie here come up with a list of locations throughout the city. We have items there. The first team with all of them and back here wins," Leonardo explains.

"Teams?" April asks.

"Well, yeah, we'd leave you in the dust," Raphael mutters.

"That was polite," Spike remarks blithely. "Get the toothpick out of your mouth." Raphael ignores her.

Leonardo nods. "Okay, I'm a team captain, and the other team captain is Raph. I'll pick a team member first." He scans the others. "Mmmm….Donnie."

Donatello nods.

Raphael crosses his arms. "Ehhhh….April."

April nods and stands next to Raphael. "Okay. Sounds good."

"Spike," Leonardo says. Spike shoves her hands in her jacket pockets.

"Alright."

Michelangelo shrugs. "I guess I'm with Raph."

Leonardo points. "We meet back here. C'mon guys."

They turn and leave.

~Trouble Strikes Again~

Donatello glances at Spike. "You gonna be able to keep up?"

Spike shrugs. "Sure hope so."

Leonardo whips out his list and examines it before handing it to Donatello. "Plot our course."

Donatello nods and pulls up his wrist computer.

Leonardo looks at Spike. "Do you know that Raph wasn't home until morning a couple days ago?"

"Yeah," Spike nods. "He was at my place."

Leonardo glances at her. "Oh?"

"Lord of the Rings marathon," Spike declares. "It was a blast. I felt horrible the next day, but it was great. And he doesn't talk through the movie like April does."

Donatello looks up and points. "That way. Follow me!"

He takes a running start and leaps to the next building.

Leonardo follows, and then turns to watch Spike. Spike backs up to give herself space, then starts running.

C'mon, Spike, you got this.

She's out of building.

She jumps.

~Trouble Strikes Again~

She jumps. Her first thought is: This was a mistake.

She glances downward.

This was a really big mistake.

Spike slams onto the roof of the next building and rolls to her feet. "Well, that was fun," she wheezes. Donatello shoots her a reassuring grin.

"Not bad," he remarks. "We gotta work on speed, though."

"I'm sure I'll get a handle on it soon," she says, starting after Leonardo.

Donatello shrugs and leaps to the next building.

Spike sighs heavily and jumps after him, landing on her feet this time, albeit slightly unsteadily.

"Better," Leonardo appraises.

Spike shrugs modestly. "I try."

Donatello glances at his wrist watch. "Our stop is at the end of this block. Spike, you're gonna have to start moving faster."

"Fine." Spike grimaces. "Let's go."

Donatello takes off, with Leonardo right behind him. Spike starts running, and tells herself that this is beneficial in the long run.

~Trouble Strikes Again~

After a few minutes, Donatello stops and peers over the top of the building. "This is it. What did you put here, Leo?"

Leo shrugs. "Ribbon." He scans the ground. "Somewhere."

"Shhh," Spike hisses.

Leonardo looks up. "You hear something?"

She nods, and peers down into the alley.

"Trouble," she comments. She looks up. "Did Raph ever tell you that when we were captured a while back, they had guns trained on us?"

Leonardo nods. "So?"

"Well, the guns were unfamiliar, and the guys were all identical. I'm thinking clones with new weaponry."

"And this is relevant because…." Leonardo's voice trails off and he looks at Donatello. "There are some of those guys in the alley."

"Bingo."

Leonardo draws his swords. "Good. Think of it this way, Spike. Training exercise."

Spike groans and heads for the edge of the building.
