OK already we're at the point where we're dividing the chapter between Yuki's POV and Jonathan's POV
Yuki's POV
So of course we were all baffled, why would this organization be more dangerous than the Foot Clan because it had 'A Woman's Touch?'
"I mean…" Mikey said "…Karai took over the Foot Clan…Didn't she have a Woman's Touch?"
"Maybe Karai didn't specifically run the Foot Clan the way a Woman would…" I tried to help the Turtles and Splinter all turned and looked at me.
"I mean…" I said "…I always felt myself to be a Tomboy myself…Although I did do a few girly things sometimes…Like play with dolls."
Raph shrugged "Eh," he said "So what…Mikey still plays with his dolls."
Mikey than shot Raph a very irritated glare, I could tell that the fact he still played with action figures had been made fun of before, but he seemed to take particular umbrage to his action figures being compared to Barbie dolls.
Splinter seemed to concentrate for a moment before opening his eyes
"I think I'm beginning to get a sense of what your Sensei meant." He said "Karai did take over the Foot Clan and for the most part she didn't change anything about how it was run with the exception of being kinder to those under her than her Father…But because of her upbringing she was very masculine in how she settled conflicts…This organization which we do not know the nature of yet seems to operate in a more feminine way through the sly manipulation of words."
"What." Mikey said "You saying whoever we're up against will go all 'Mean Girls' on us?"
"Damaging of reputation," Splinter said "Need I remind you Michelangelo we are not even supposed to have a reputation, we were supposed to be silent and unseen Shadow Warriors, but ever since footage was caught of us…" (This he meant during Triceraton Invasions) "…And suppose whoever this Feminine Figure is knows Bishop…Do you want her to permanently bring us into the light My Sons?"
The Turtles all became very quiet. If only we knew then what we were up against…
Jonathan's POV
Jonathan after telling his mysterious employers about the incident with the Cat Mutant was finally asked to come to company headquarters.
Proteus Inc…He had been hired by the director of transgenics Ms. Judith V. Noble…This would be his first time meeting her in person.
Jonathan waited uneasily in the waiting room, he had barely gotten any sleep not helped by the fact he had had caffeine…He wished he could have some now to help with his pounding headache.
Then the secretary said "Ms. Noble will see you now."
Jonathan was grateful as he had been terribly uneasy about the fact there were other people in the waiting room beside him, normal people, while he wasn't as recognizable of the Joker or Two-Face he was still one of the reasons Gotham was known as the cesspit of America and he hoped no one would recognize him.
" Professor Jonathan Crane." came a deep, husky woman's voice. There at the desk was an older woman as could be seen by her curly gray hair and her numerous winkles she had to be in her 60s at the youngest she seems almost perfectly grandmotherly if it weren't for the slight imperfection of a long and pointy nose like a Witch…Of course Jonathan knew he would be one to talk his nose had been compared to a turnip on more than one occasion but still that nose ruined what could have been the perfect image of 'Grandmother'
"I suppose I should tell you the reason I decided to contact you in spite of your reputation." Ms. Noble said "Your experiments, though unethical revealed quite a bit about the human mind particularly its more base animalistic instincts, here at Proteus it is our mission to help Mankind move foreward into the future…And I realized your research into the more base human emotions could help us conquer them."
"Conquer them?" Jonathan said raising an eyebrow "You mean…Get rid of fear? Madame as unpleasant as fear is…And I should know…It also is a necessary part of our emotional toolkit, it keeps us alive…Without fear we would become stupid and reckless."
"You are thinking in the past Professor." Ms. Noble said "I'm thinking in the future, a future in which all of mankind's involuntary suffering will be eliminated."
"I beg your pardon Madame." Jonathan said genuinely trying to understand.
"All in good time Professor…" Ms. Noble said "…First it is time you meant some of Proteus Inc's Secret Employees…"
So once again I'm delivering you the mystery piece by piece
