This chapter is a bit bloody...

Mikey: I read it...and it's kinda of scary...

Me: I'm sorry! But I'm an author! What else do you want me to do

Disclaimer: I've been saying this for awhile now. I don't own TMNT

Onward!

Oliver sat on my lap humming a tune as I ran my fingers through his tangled hair. I was in between Leo and Mikey. Irena sat across from me and Raph and Donnie were on either side of her. This wasn't a cargo plane. This was a passenger plane, so we were stuck in the luggage room. Oliver's wings spread in and out, following his tune. I smiled.

"What song are you humming?" I asked looking down. Oliver stopped and and looked up.

One I made up. When I was in Bishop's lab, there was this nice girl who would let me play on a keyboard she brought in for me. I miss her...

I frowned as Oliver started to hum again. Apparently he only had his telepathy connection open to me, because nobody else was responding. He stopped his humming almost immediately and looked up at me again.

When this is all over, do you think you could buy me a piano? A real one?

"I don't know, I'll try." I said. Oliver was hiding something. Maybe I could figure it out when we made it to Bishop's lab.

Thanks

"How much longer?" I said looking at Leo then at Donnie.

"Uh about ten minutes? I'm guessing." He counted his fingers. "Eight minutes exactly." I nodded my reply. Oliver started to sway his head back and forth to his own humming.

"You really like music don't you?" I asked as I ruffled his hair.

My favorite thing in the whole world.

"What type do you like?"

My own. His soft voice said in my head. He left it at that. Left me in suspense. I laid my head back against the cool metal and sighed. 'When is this confusion going to end?'

"I love that fresh Washington air." Mikey said with his hands on his hips, and a grin. We had left the plane, and traveled into a forest, and now, we were standing along the bank of a small lake.

"Okay. Where is Bishop's lab, Donnie?" Leo said stepping up next to Donnie. Donnie didn't reply and looked down. His hands shaking.

"T-Two miles from here." He stammered. "Look." He handed his T-phone to Leo.

"What does it say?" Raph asked stepping closer. I listened close to the conversation, as Oliver shook his feathers out and Irena spread out her wings.

"I don't like bein' in a small place fer' so long. What's the word?" She asked. Oliver raised his hand.

Claustrophobic

"That's it!" She said walking closer to Oliver, who immediately became tense. She laid her hand on his head.

"Yer' really smart." She ruffled his blonde mess of hair and walked to the group.

"It's okay." I said patting his shoulder. He looked down, and walked over to the group.

It's hard. His wings had fell. He had lost hope. If Irena did ever remember him, it wasn't going to matter, because Oliver just didn't care anymore. During the ride over here, I think that's why he was so quiet. His humming was the only noise that really told me he was still there.

"Is that a map?" Leo said looking down at the T-phone. I walked over to the group, finally making my presence known.

"Let me see it!" Raph said reaching for the phone.

"No, I wanna see it!" Mikey reached, but was pushed away by Raph.

"Hold on, guys!" Leo pulled away. I looked at the phone, and saw a blinking orange square. In the bottom left corner, were seven blue dots.

"Are the blue dots us?" I asked pointing.

"Yeah, I think so." Donnie said taking back T-phone. "What do we do Leo?" Leo crossed his arms and thought for a second. Silence filled the area.

"Let's rest first. Then we can head out in search of the lab." Leo announced.

"But Leo, the lab is two miles northwest of here." Donnie interjected.

"And?" Leo questioned.

"We have to take several breaks along the way." Don said concluding.

"We will do that." Leo said. "Oliver, do you know anything about the lab that you want to tell us?"

Oliver furrowed his eyebrows, his expression turning pained.

Do you really want to know my story? I nodded.

Oliver sighed. When they created me, they wanted a strong body. Ready for anything that was thrown their way. Explosion and fire proof. Remember the napalm?

Donnie gasped.

It was actually used when I was a part of that lab. I failed both of those tests. I was a failed experiment. When I was younger, the head scientist of every laboratory I went to didn't like me and said I was a disappointment or a disaster. But then I met Bishop. He was an evil man, and said he could do so much more with me. His daughter, Emma, would take me out of my cage every night and talk with me and let me play on a keyboard she brought in. This was when I could...when I could...talk...before he...

~Flashback

I sat in the cold, metal cage drinking the water from the tin bucket they gave me. It was always lonely, with nobody to talk to. But it was about time for her to come and get me out and play with me. I peered through the bars of the cage, and heard her quiet footsteps. She grinned. When she got closer, she dangled the keys.

"I got the keys." She whispered.

"Okay get me out." I whispered back.

"Why are we whispering? There's nobody here." She said breaking the whisper. I laughed and pushed the cage door open once she had unlocked it.

"I brought the keyboard." She pointed to the floor. "I know you like to play it."

"Thanks!" I flapped my wings absentmindedly. It's not like I could fly with them anyway...I'm to weak...I stepped down on the white tiles and smiled at Emma. She was so cute...her brown hair and chopped bangs. And her green eyes...They could stop any guy in his place...

"What are you waiting for? Go for it!" She said expectantly.

"Okay. What song?"

"The song you played last time."

"Okay." I sat down on the ground, and positioned the keyboard on my lap. I readied my fingers. I closed my eyes and started playing, while Emma started to sing like she always did.

"Morning rays of sun shine through my window lighting up my face. Turn around, there's no no one next to me there's only empty space. All the trees and nature start to bloom, so why do I remain? I remain, remain waiting. I remain, waiting." She sang the chorus so beautifully like she always did. I guess you could say I fell for Emma.

"Emma?!" I dropped the keyboard in a crash and my eyes went wild. I looked at Emma and she looked back. Her dad had heard us. His footsteps echoed in the building. I shot up from the floor and scrambled back into my cage. But I wasn't fast enough.

"Ah ah ah. Don't try to run now. It's not like you could...run anywhere anyway." He grabbed the back of my white t-shirt and threw me down on the floor.

"I thought you were an experiment of high levels." He picked me up where my wings connected to my back. I gasped in pain.

"Leave him alone!" Emma shouted from the corner of the room.

"Emma, my dear, he's only but a mere piece of science." Bishop said quietly.

"No he's not! He's a person too!" Emma screamed.

"Come my dear. Let me show you something." Bishop dropped me to my feet and pushed me forward in a gesture to walk. I walked out of the room where I was usually held until an experiment or some sort of test was performed.

"This way." Bishop took the lead. We went down the left hallway. The dissection room. I had only been there once, and that was when they had taken a DNA and blood sample when I first arrived here. The door slid open and Bishop gestured inside.

"Take a seat on the table." I did as he told me. Emma stood next to her father. She was shaking in place.

"What are you going to do to him?" She asked in a whisper.

"Just watch. Step outside, okay?" Bishop gently nudged his daughter outside, and the door slid shut. She pressed her hands against the glass windows outside and watched his every move like a hawk though.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"Lay down on the table." I did as he said, frightened to question the mad man's request. He strapped me in and took out a scalpel, and laid it on the table.

"What are you going to do?!" I shouted.

"Ah ah ah. Be patient." He said. I struggled against the leather straps, but I'm too weak. Bishop came into the view again. He grinned before picking up the scalpel and pressing it against my neck.

"It will only take a second." He said in a low voice. My eyes went wide when he pressed down. I screamed. Blood ran down my neck, staining the perfectly white shirt I had on. Bishop laughed and pressed even harder. I screamed even louder. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Emma banging on the glass crying yelling something I couldn't even hear. Bishop moved the scalpel at an angle that caused my scream to stop permanently. I blinked and looked up at Bishop. He removed the scalpel from my neck, and threw it on the table.

"Have fun talking with her now." He picked me up by the front of my blood stained shirt and dragged me all the back to my cage.

End of Flashback~

Emma was taken back home, and was never allowed to come back to the lab again. Bishop soon realized I was worthless and sent me to the lab that Hayden found me in.

I stared at Oliver who didn't shed a single tear as he finished his story. I looked back at everybody. They all shared the same expressions I did.

"Yer'" Irena started. "Experiment 491?" She said with a pained expression. Oliver nodded. Irena let out a gasp as tears ran down her face.

You remember me now?

Err sorry...about...that...

Mikey: I had to read it again!

Me: I said sorry! *sulks in corner*
