Kara was over at Casey Jackson's place using his home gym to work out dressed as the Blind Bandit.
"And so she's giving me all of this homework to make up for the time she was gone on maternal leave! Everyday piles and piles of homework and studying. Ugh! It's hurting my brain. Think it's going to pop soon" She said to Casey who was reading the newspaper on the side while she doing combos on the rather large punching bag.
"You have to understand, Kara, you're still young and there's still so much you need to learn. She's only doing it for your own good." He said snapping the newspaper so it'll stay up continuing to read it.
She sighed in annoyance leaning against the punching bag. "Yeah I know, I know..wonder if this is how April feels when she goes to an actual school."
"You should ask her." He said flipping to the next page in a nonchalant manner. "Why not bring her over and the others? I'm dying to meet your friends..in fact..you haven't introduced me to any of your friends..I'm hurt Kara" He said glancing up at her giving her a playful pout before going back to his paper. Kara laughed softly but it quickly turned to a quiet, nervous chuckle. "Yeah..heh..anyways I think that's enough training for the day I'm gonna change then head out."
"Need me to take you home?" He asked looking up at her from his paper.
"No, I'll be fine. I'm actually gonna go visit my friends and talk to them about coming to visit you. They can be abit...shy though." Kara said while rubbing the back of her head. "Shy, right..more like you'd freak out at the sight of them!"
Casey nodded and smiled at her before walking her to the door and stopping her. "You might want to lose this then." He said while untying the blindfold from around her eyes. She smiled and pocketed it. "Thanks, so use to it I keep forgetting to take it off. Well, see ya!"
She walked out his home and got on her scooter deciding to take the train tracks to the lair instead of the sewers like normal. Rounding the corner to a dead end she scanned the area making sure no one was around before pushing the button Donnie gave her the wall lifting up like a garage door to the abandoned train tracks and drove on in, closing the door behind her.
When she arrived at the lair she parked her scooter and opened the small compartment where she kept a bag of clothes to change into after training and walked into the lair seeing the guys minus Leo watching TV.
"You'd think you guys would be doing something more productive like playing video games or something." She said with a smile sitting down next to Donnie.
"Hey, Kara." They all said at once Donnie leaning in to put his arm around her but blinked noticed she was sweaty. "Worked out today?" He asked with a smile, kissing her cheek.
"Yeah, went over to my Casey's place and did a little training just to loosen myself up." She said with a smile but it slowly disappeared. "About him..listen..I was wondering if-"
Her attention went to the tv watching the Super Mecha Robo Squad or whatever show seeing their robot was taken over and everyone was freaking out but their captain..who ended up getting stomped on after a dramatic speech.
"Well that's a surprising ending.." Kara said before looking down at Mikey who began to speak.
"I heard in the original Japanese version Coolstar gets squashed for real."
"That's just a cartoon myth." Donnie said not believing him.
Kara looked over at Raph hearing him say, "Nerds" under his breath making her chuckle before standing up. "I'm going to change I'll be back."
"Wait, what was it you were wanting to say earlier?" Donnie asked turning to look at her as she hops over the couch.
"It's nothing I'll tell you later." She walked over to the restroom but stopped when she saw Casey run inside looking startled and shouting, "Guys! April. Sewers, hurry!"
Kara went on alert putting the math together. "Screaming, panicked Casey + gibberish about April = bad news.."
"Casey, what's wrong?"
"Are the footbots back?" She turned her head seeing Leo coming out from the Dojo and wondered what he was doing in there by himself.
"We were on our way here and the next thing I know April starts acting freaked out then runs off. She's gone!" Casey explains confusion and worry written all over his face.
"Wait wait..something scared her enough to have her run off...and you lost her.." Kara said crossing her arms over her chest. "Whatever is out there is still there and she's by herself!"
"Relax, I'm sure there's a logical explanation." Mikey started to say Kara sighed knowing this wasn't going to be good her mind showing her different scenarios of being captured, eaten, or who knows what else by large, disgusting creatures. "Like she was eaten by a giant sewer snake or something."
When that image ran through her head her eyes widened and she ran off pushing past Casey. "I'm coming best friend!" Kara shouted in panic Donnie running after her. "Kara, wait! You don't know where you're going!"
Casey blinked in surprise before looking over at the others. "..Why is Kara dressed like a dude?"
"We'll explain later, come on." Leo said following after the two the others right behind him.
After finding Kara and Donnie Casey lead them to where he last saw her. "I-I think I lost her around here."
"You think? Well that's not vague or anything!" Donnie shouted in Casey's face.
"Back off Stick Master." Casey said now in his face.
"Who're you calling Stick Master Puckhead!" Donnie now poking Casey's shoulder both of them glaring daggers at each other. Kara pushed them apart narrowing her eyes at both of them. "Will you two quit it?! We need to find April before something worse happens to her!"
"Easy fellas we don't have time for this." Leo said walking past them. Donnie pushes past Casey making Mikey laugh at Casey and Raph go, "You got a problem with that?" while chuckling.
Casey brings out his hockey stick and follows after them. "So what's your deal with April, Kara?" Casey asks walking beside her. She sighs softly and glances at him.
"She's the first friend I've ever made..who didn't judge me by my looks. I have a history you see and well..it's a long story I'll tell you later." She said with a small smile before it turned to a determined frown. "I'll protect her at any cost.." Casey smiled and her and gave her a friendly nudge on the shoulder. "You're a good friend, Kara. Weird, but good." She chuckled and playfully punched his arm. "You're not a bad friend neither, Case." She gave him her childish grin before he walked on ahead, pushing past Donnie and was now in-front Leo.
She heard Casey scream and walked up to them seeing a small group of rats. "Rats? Why did it have to be rats?"
"Dude, they're everywhere down here. They're nature's cuddly little friends." Kara stared at Mikey in disgust watching him rub the rat on his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Casey sat and looked up hearing a noise. "You hear that?" Seeing no one around she brought out her phone using the flashlight on it and looked around the area. Spotting some mushrooms she pointed her light at it curiously but blinked in surprise watching it wither and die. "Whoops.." She looked at the others making sure they didn't see her do that and put her phone away noticing Casey sticking his face into a pipe.
"Uh, Casey..we're in the sewers..you shouldn't do-"
He stumbles backwards covering his face and coughing some yellow powdery substance floating around him. "That was hideous!"
"Dude, you put your nose in a New York City sewer. What'd you expect?" Kara chuckles at Casey's mistake and looks over at Raph. "Maybe he hasn't gotten enough of the smells down here."
Hearing Casey scream she looked over at him watching him stare in fright inside the tunnel.
"Casey, what is it?" Leo asked Casey who continued staring into the tunnel.
"I saw it, man! The demon rat!"
"Demon rat?" Kara asked confused before looking inside the tunnel bringing out her phone once more. "I don't see anything.." She looked over at the others blinking in surprise watching Casey scream and swing his hockey stick everywhere. "What..what is he doing?"
"Ah! Get em off me!" Casey screamed seeing millions of rats running around him, crawling on his legs as he tries to get them off of him.
Raph and Donnie forced him against the wall to try and calm him down but when he saw rats crawling all over his friends he lost it and fell to his knees, whimpering softly. Kara looked at him worriedly. "Something weird is going on guys.." She bent down placing her hand on Casey's back trying to comfort him when she heard April scream.
She jumped to her feet and ran behind Donnie and saw her curled up, hugging herself, and swatting something away while mumbling to herself.
"Keep away from me, Dad! Ngh! No! Please don't eat me!" Kara looked at Donnie worriedly before carefully approaching her.
"Hey, April it's me, Donnie. Your dad isn't trying to eat 's alright, calm down everything is going to be ok."
"Her dad.." She watched Donnie get closer to her, bending down beside her. Hearing a noise she turned around seeing everyone coming into view seeing Casey was in the same state as April.
"Hold up. What's that sound?" Hearing the noise Leo heard she turned around the see a blue ball with white lines around it roll up to them and flatten out into a mushroom.
"It's a mushroom with feet! Awe, it's so cute."
Apparently it didn't like Mikey saying that so it lashed onto his head trying to eat his head or something while Mikey screamed for them to get it off of him and trying to get it off himself by pulling it and smacking his head on the ground.
When Leo managed to pull it off his head and throw it away it changed back into a ball rolling back towards them.
"It's on the move!" Leo shouted while they all brought out their weapons. "I got this!" Raph shouted charging at it and trying to stab it with his sai.
"Fascinating..evolved fungi." Donnie said in thought just as it squirted some pollen like substance on Raph.
"Raph!" Kara shouted moving over to him while the guys took care of the mushroom. "Raph, you ok buddy?"
"Ah! Stay back! Get away from me!" She heard April scream. She stood up and went to go see what was wrong with her but heard Casey yell something about a rat. She looked between all of them freaked out about the situation. "This is getting insane! What is wrong with everyone?!"
"What is going on?!" She heard Mikey scream just as Casey ran off. "Casey, wait!" She shouted after him but he was long gone. "We gotta go find him. We can't leave him out there by himself he could get hurt!"
"Raphael, are you ok?"
-Raph's P.O.V-
Raph sat up rubbing his head and when he looked over to his brother his eyes widened in horror seeing a human sized roach. "No, it's you! Anybody but you! Keep away from me!" Raph shouted at the roach rolling backwards and onto his feet his sais out and ready.
"Raph..take it easy man." The roach started moving towards him.
"That's it! If you won't stay away I'll splatter ya!" He jumped at the roach, yelling in anger and fright ready to stab it with his sais.
-Normal P.O.V-
Kara's eyes widened watching Raph attack his brother. "Raph, stop! It's us! Calm down!"
"Donnie, quick explanation!" Mikey said while bringing out his nunchucks.
"I wish I knew!"
"You're not getting me this time, roach. I smashed you once I'll smash you again!" Raph shouted pointing his sai at all of them.
"Roach?"
"He thinks we're.."
Raph charged at Leo slashing his sais at him but Leo jumped back, dodging his attacks and Mikey stepped in hitting him on the head with the end of his chucks making him stumble backwards and fall over on his stomach. "Sorry, bro, you're out of control!"
"Take it easy bro.." Donnie said softly while slowly walking towards him.
"No..it's impossible." Raph backed up against a wall watching as more roaches came towards him. "We're not gonna hurt you, Raph."
"Get back!" Raph screamed, kicking Donnie away. Mikey tackled him to the ground, tying him up with his nunchuck chains. "Come on, dude! Stop it!" He held onto the chain tightly while Raph struggled to free himself. "Calm down. Breathe with meeee!"
Letting out a loud sigh she was glad Raph was restraint so they'd be able to take him back to the lair with ease now there was only..
"April.." She said softly watching her swat at the air in terror screaming, "Get away from me!"
" April April, listen, there are no bats I promise." Donnie said trying to reassure her but she ended up smacking him in the face.
"What is going on here?" Leo looked down at Raph
"Fungus!" Donnie shouted startling her and the others
"Language, please? There are ladies present."
"No, whatever is happening to Raph is happening to April and Casey. It's..it's like their experiencing their worst fears and I think I know why."
"Then let's go." Leo said to them all.
Kara sighed softly putting her hands in her pocket but blinked feeling her blindfold.
Getting an idea she walked up behind April and covered her eyes making her scream in panic.
"April, it's me, Kara." She spoke softly to her placing her hands on her shoulder feeling her body tensing up, panting heavily. "I'm not gonna hurt you. I won't let anything get to you. So please..calm down."
"K-Kara?" She lifted her head up looking around. "Kara! My dad is in here! He's trying to get me! We need to leave no-"
"Shh..I know. I'm going to get you out of here. Just take my hand and follow me, ok?"
She whimpered softly but nodded holding onto her hand for dear life. Kara nodded for the others to leave, Leo leading the way with her, April, and Donnie in the middle, and lastly Mikey dragging Raph behind them.
"How did you know to do that?" Donnie asked her in surprise.
"When I'm home I watch the Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel. One way to keep an animal calm is to cover their eyes. I don't remember why it works but it does."
Back at the lair Donnie was working on something in his lab. Kara stayed by April side, though it's not like April left her much of a choice she was holding onto her as if life depended on her grip. Kara sighed softly, stroking April's head in a comforting way when Donnie came up to them.
"Ok, now trust me April-"
"Donnie?" She lifted up the blindfold but screamed when she saw a large bat baring its fangs at her while inching a smaller bat towards her face. "No, please!" She screamed clinging to Kara, burying her head in her shoulder.
Kara immediately pulled the blindfold down in time for Donnie to swab whatever he put on the facial pad and dipped it into some kind of chemical.
"April has been exposed to toxins found in certain types of fungi. Mushroom man must produce them as a defense mechanism."
"Against what? Being stir-fried?"
Kara jumped hearing Raph screaming and sighed moving to go do the same thing to him as she did with April but she held on tighter keeping her from moving anywhere.
"I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out! I'M FREAKING OUT!" Raph shouted shaking in fright watching the large roaches talk amongst each other another walking in front of him.
"It's ok, dude. It's me, Mikey. Give your bro a hug it'll make you feel better. Come on now, where's the love? Awe, it's right here between my arms."
"I think I'm gonna hurl" Raph said as the roach moved closer to him, feeling it's antenna's on his face before barfing.
"Ugh! Raph!" Kara shouted in disgust looking away.
"Let's go find Casey and see if we can find a cure for this." Leo said helping both her and April up. She nodded and guided April back into the sewers. "Do we really need to bring them? They'd be safer in the lair, right?"
"They could hurt themselves if not supervised." Donnie said to her over Mikey's struggle to drag Raph behind them and April's screams.
"Arrrgh! Come on, Raph! Oooh what is that stuff?"
Kara opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by April's scream. She sighed but looked up seeing weird moss growing on the walls and ceiling.
"It's Fungal Mycellium where mushrooms come from."
"You mean like the ones right here?"
"These things grow crazy in the dark. If we don't stop these by sundown the mushrooms will spread all over the city. Millions of people will go crazy with fear!"
"Then we just got to bring in some light, right?" Kara said while bringing out her phone but noticed the battery was low. "Isn't that peachy.." Her voice full of sarcasm before putting it away. Seeing movement she looked over at Donnie pushing his hand against the moss stuff and saw a secret passage. Taking April's hand she guided her after the others.
"The bats! I can hear them coming after me!" April screamed, falling to the floor. Kara bent down beside her gently patting her back when she heard a noise and looked up seeing more of the fungi.
"Keep an eye on Raph and April, Kara! No matter what stay together" Kara nodded and watched them fight off the fungus mushrooms but saw one attack Mikey, spraying him with it's pollen.
"Mikey, look out!" She yelled but it was already too late he fell over Raph loosening the chains off of Raph and fell onto her. She managed to push April out of the way hoping to keep her from harm but gasped feeling fabric against her fingers. She looked down at her hand seeing the blindfold limp in her hand. "Oh no...I untied it by accident!"
"April! April!" She pushed Mikey off her and went to April only for her to scream in terror at the sight of her.
"No! No! Stay away from me you horrible creature!" April backed up shielding her face with her arms, screaming in fright.
"April..it's-"
"Kara! Look out!" She heard Donnie say before he jumped to her side fighting the mushrooms away from her. She began to panic feeling like there helpless in the situation. When she saw one coming at Donnie from behind she pulled him away and ended up getting sprayed on instead.
"Kara!" Both Donnie and Leo shouted at once as she fell on all fours, coughing.
When she was able to clear her vision she was surrounded by darkness. "Guys?...Guys?"
"Isn't this just my lucky day" Her body froze hearing the all too familiar cold, and chilling voice of her worst fear. She slowly turned around seeing the Shredder behind her.
"It's the weak, pathetic girl. You won't be able to escape me this time."
"No...no not you.." She noticed a large figure behind her and squinted her eyes but what she saw she wouldn't be able to un-see.
It was the guys piled together..and they were dead.
"No...no this can't be true..Leo...Raph..Mikey...D-Donnie.." Her eyes were wide in horror, tears streaming down her face.
He ran at her with lightning speed making her scream and stumble to her feet before running away.
-Donnie's P.O.V-
He watched her get sprayed by the toxic pollen and fall to her knees. "No..Kara. Kara speak to me." He went over to touch her and gasped for when she turned around tears were running down her face and her eyes were as wide as they could be with a look of pure terror on them.
"No...no not you.." She said right at him her voice quivering with fear.
"Donnie, look out!" Leo shouted at him but it was too late. Donnie looked up and was sprayed. He fell to his knees, coughing and looked up at Kara. "Kara. I'm here for you. I'll get you out of here just take my hand!"
Kara's back was turned to him. "Don't touch me!" She said in a low, monotone voice.
"You promised to protect me..you said you would be there for me you lied to me...YOU LIED TO ME!" She turned around her eyes were pure black, her teeth were sharp and pointy like fangs, and her skin was purplish with blue veins running all over her skin, a certain part of her shoulder was darker..where he bit her.
"Kara...Kara what's wrong with you?" Donnie stood up, taking a step back.
She shrieked at him, pointing at her neck. "YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU LET THE SHREDDER HURT ME AND YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU LIAR! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" She grabbed him by the head forcing him to stare at the stab wounds in her stomach and the bite mark on her shoulder.
"IT'S OVER! I HATE YOU!" She screamed in his face before raising her hand and stabbing it through his heart.
"She hates me...KARA HATES ME!" Donnie shouts while holding is head in agony. "NO, LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE!"
Kara's P.O.V-
She screamed when spider legs began to rip out of Shredder's back. "Get away from me!" She screamed in terror running away from him as he gave chase, now being faster with the added legs. She tripped and stumbled falling over into the middle of the room. She panted heavily but froze in place able to feel his presence behind her. She turned on her back, pressing herself against the floor trying to create space between them now hovering above her.
He lifted up her shirt showing the scars he left behind from their last encounter. "You were lucky the turtles were able to save you before but now that their gone." He said while slowly bringing his blade up to her throat. "I can finish the job!"
"No!" She screamed, her eyes filled with anger, kicking his spider legs from under him and crawled away, standing on her feet. "I've gotten a lot stronger since our last meeting Shredder! I won't let fear take over me! I will defeat you here and now with my own strength!"
She blinked feeling something in her clenched hand and saw she was still holding onto her blind fold. Nodding to herself she put the blindfold on and got into her fighting stance but blinked when she was unable to 'see' him but could hear him breathing and talking. She took it off and was able to see him clear as day and gasped hearing Donnie's voice in her head.
"It's like their experiencing their worst fear and I think I know why. Been exposed to a toxin that serves as a type of defense mechanism."
"You're not real!" She shouted at him before charging head on only for the image to fade and her mind returning to reality. Panting heavily she looked around seeing she was alone and sighed softly, closing her eyes to clear her mind before putting the blindfold on.
"I figured out your little trick mushroom freaks" She said while putting her gloves on and ran off to find the others. "I hope Donnie and Leo are ok.." She skidded to a halt hearing Donnie screaming and ran in his direction. "Donnie? Donnie!"
-Donnie's P.O.V-
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE!"
"You couldn't protect me! You're weak and pathetic! Leo is much stronger than you! He could of protected me better than you!" Kara shouted just as Leo came into view, wrapping his arms around her. "He is better than you in every way and now I'm going to be with him." She said giving him a wide grin before she turned around, kissing Leo right on the lips. He screamed, tears flying from his eyes at what he was seeing.
-Kara's P.O.V-
Kara could see everyone huddled in different parts of them room. She clenched her fists and ran past them knowing the only way she could help was to destroy the mushrooms at their source.
Running back to where she last saw Leo she looked around but he was gone. She ran to the edge and blinked seeing a small figure at the bottom. Taking her chances she jumped from the edge, falling to the lower level grabbing at anything to try and make the landing as painless as possible but she failed on that part falling on her side.
Hissing in pain she slowly picked herself up and blinked in surprise seeing a large mushroom in the middle along with Leo.
"Leo!" She coughs lifting herself off the ground and to her feet.
Leo turned around and saw her. "Kara! You're ok!"
"I know how to counteract the effects. I'll take care of the mushrooms while you handle it's boss."
Leo nodded her way and charged in it's direction while Kara punched and kicked at the mushrooms that were flying at her stomping and squashing them til they were flat as a pancake.
She lost sight of Leo when he dived at the mushroom from above but when he landed she saw him curled up, muttering to himself.
"No, fight it Leo!" She saw more flying at her and quickly covered her mouth and nose, rolling out of the way while bringing out her taser, frying them cause she forgot to take it off the highest setting and grinned. "Who wants fried mushrooms?!"
"Why...why does...it...not work...on you?!" The boss mushroom shouted at her, firing large balls around her. Holding her breath she jumped backwards out of the pollen fog. "Because I'm blind you Shiitake Mushroom!" She said with a grin and continued fighting off the smaller ones watching Leo's figure. "I know you can beat this.." She whispered softly.
-Leo's P.O.V-
"I'm a failure..I let them down..." He held his head trying to drown out his brother's shouts of blame at him. He stared at his reflection in his sword but blinked when saw Master Splinter.
"Every leader must face the fear of losing their team."
"Fight it, Leo!" He heard Kara shout to him.
"No! No, I can't give up!" He shouted with determination before closing his eyes, meditating, his aura becoming pure and clear.
"Your spores won't work on me. I face my fear every single day!"
-Kara's P.O.V-
She watched Leo stand up and grinned able to feel his strong aura. "I knew you could do it." She said as he attacked the tentacle like mushrooms with light reflecting off his sword. "So that's your fear: Sunlight." She ran at him, slamming her fists into a couple that were trying to get him from behind.
She grinned up at him, nodding. "I'm with you til the end, Leo. Now finish this!" She shouted, holding her hands out, cupping them to give him a boost.
He nodded and jumped on her hands using all her strength she could muster to throw him in the air, dodging the flying fungi that tried to stop her and tasing them mid-air.
When she heard the explosion she lifted her head able to see Leo's figure, the explosion causing the whole room to shake and vibrate, and smiled when she heard the mushroom boss cry in pain, knowing he was defeated and everything would return to normal.
She ran over to his body and checked for any injuries, listening closely to his heartbeat. Hearing the steady da-thump she sighed in relief and looked up seeing everyone running into the room.
"Kara! Leo!" Donnie ran up to her bringing her in a full embrace
"Donnie.." She whispers hearing his heart beat and breathing she gently squeezed him before kissing him over and over relieved to see he was alive and well along with the others.
"Oh no, Leo. Dude! Speak to me, bro! Do you need mouth to mouth?"
Leo placed his hand over Mikey's face to keep him from coming any closer. "Absolutely..not."
"You're all..ok?" Leo asked sitting up.
"Whatever you did..you saved us. All of us..thanks man." Raph said with a smile, placing his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"No problem."
"We did it guys!" Kara said with a wide grin while bringing them all in a group hug. She bit her lip unable to forget her worst fear and gave them all a gentle squeeze.
Back at the lair they were playing music while they all told their worst fears almost speaking at once mainly Casey, April, and Leo.
Kara managed to sneak to the farthest corner of the room and hugged herself, laying her head against her knees. She still had the blindfold on in fear she'd see their lifeless bodies for real, able to hear their heartbeats was comfort enough.
She flinched when she heard Donnie calling her name and hugged herself tighter hoping to turn invisible. "Don't ask me...not yet.."
"Kara..what're you doing hiding?" She could hear the music being turned down as everyone's attention went to her.
"I..I just want to be left alone.."
"Kara..if you need to talk..I'm here for you I promise."
"Please..not now..I..I just-"
"What can you be scared of? I've seen you kick serious tail." Casey said standing up from his seat.
Kara stood up as well, looking away from them. "Let it go, Case.." She said with a stern voice.
Raph went to shut him up but was curious as well though they all know she was scared of spiders.
"Come on, just tell us." Casey said prying more and more into her business.
Kara clenched her fist while Donnie went to shut Casey up. "You really want to know so bad?! Well, fine! I saw the Shredder! I saw him standing over your lifeless bodies!" She screamed out causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at her in shock.
Her body was shaking and her blindfold was getting wet from her tears. "He came after me..and I saw behind him..your dead bodies in a pile and now..that's all I can see! Are you happy now, Casey?!"
Casey looked away ashamed of his actions. Raph glared at Casey and punched his shoulder. "Way to go, Casey."
"Ow, hey!...I'm sorry Kara..." Casey said softly.
Donnie watched Kara crying and it broke his heart as he remembered his before pulling her into an embrace. "It's ok, Kara..you're not gonna get rid of us that easy." She gave her a gentle squeeze before reaching for blindfold but she stopped him. "No..it's the only comfort I have to know for real you are alive.."
"Trust me." Donnie whispered softly her hands slowly lowered back to her side feeling the blindfold slide off her face and to the ground. She kept her eyes closed but felt Donnie's lips against hers. When he moved back she slowly opened her eyes to see everyone around her...alive and kicking.
Tears fell freely down her face as she stepped out of the dark corner reaching her arms out wide and hugged them all in one large group hug.
Mikey squeezed in surprising them all, carrying a large pizza with him. "Who ordered an extra large pizza with anchovies, pepperoni, and extra mushrooms."
"Mikey!" Everyone shouted at him before walking away making Kara laugh while wiping away her tears.
"You can't be serious!"
"Ok, that is just wrong."
"Mushrooms!"
Kara laughed and sat down on the couch, Donnie sitting down beside her.
"You know..I saw you..you were infected with that wasp virus...you called me a liar..saying I wasn't able to protect you..and that it was all my fault."
Kara looked at him before pulling him close to her. "That will never happen you are my knight in shining shell. You will always be there for me." She whispered, holding him close.
He smiled softly and closed his eyes, the image fading to her normal self, smiling at him. "I always will."
