Back in the lair.
Splinter opened up to wolfjade and rachel, sharing one story. His daughters hadnt heard. Wolfjade and rachel held splinter's hands in their own. Their cheeks were wet from thier endless tears. With her free hand, wiped away her tears as she asked softly.
"Do you have a photograph of miriam?" Splinter's ears flattened, gaze lowered and closed his eyes followed with tears and replied softly.
"The photograph is faded, may not be able to see properly?"
Both wolfjade and rachel dropped to the knees and embraced the old rat as he returned the embrace. Rachel softly said, kindly offered. "I have a friend that I could ask a favour. He owes me, one."
At first splinter said nothing. Continued to embrace his daughters. Finally he whispered gratefully.
"That is so sweet of you, dearest daughter." The old rat and his daughters parted from the embrace. Splinter smiled and cusped their cheeks. Rachel nuzzled into the palm of his clawed hand as she cusped her hand over his and smiled more.
"How did I become so blessed with wonderful daughters?"
"Because you have given us, wondrful husbands dearest father." wolfjade smiled. Splinter smiled. A tear fell wetting his furred cherk. He cusped her cheek and said softly.
"You are indeed angels for my sons. Beautiful mothers to my grandchildren." Rachel and wolfjade smiled.
"Thankyou father."
"Shall we begin with the description of what dearest mother once looked like and I can request a portrait to be created. Would you like a painting portrait or digital, father?" rachel offered.
Splinter smiked proudly and replied. "A painting portrait sounds perfect."
"I shall call my friend asap." rachel smiled. Splinter requested kindly. "Wait here please, rachel. This may help."
Rachel waited, splinter stood up and walked to his room. Returned with the retrieved faded photograph of miriam. Handed to rachel, both rachel and wolfjade glanced upon the photograph.
"Even though it is faded, she is beautiful." rachel commented. Wolfjade gazed upin the photograph and asked.
"Is that you in the photograph?" rachel looked again and tried to see what wolfjade saw then she said. "Is that you, splinter?"
He smiled alittle and nodded. "That is amazing." rachel said, amazed. "Yeah, so amazing." wolfjade commented.
"I'll call my friend and ask him if he can help." Rachel said and splinter replied. "Thankyou, that will be a wonderful gift."
Rachel quickly placed the twins down for thier nap, wolfjade assisted and went to donatello's room. Opened then entered the room, alittle startled by the state of his desk which wasnt a surprise as he indeed were a busy terrapin.
Overworked at times, letting of stock for the being and organised the paperwork in a neat pile on the desk, clearing away the space for the computer. Tucking back the strands of her hair behind her ears and exhaled.
Pressed one key, activating the computer. One request appeared on the screen, passcode. Rachel sighed, took a minute to think of what the answer woukd be and said to herself.
"If I were donnie, what would I use as a passcode?" She looked aroubd for what possibly be the passcode and insteae of typing in the computer. She did a anagram. Three minutes later, rachel believed she had found the answer and took the shot.
"Ok, lets try family could be the answer." Entering the word in and waited, the computer analysed and granted access only to ask another question of purpose.
"What may I help you with, today?" computer asked. Rachel typed in the location of her old friend, bruce stackhouse. The computer confirmed the location and phone number of bruce stackhouse.
Rachel smiled and wrote the address and number. Signing out of the computer and turning it off.
Immediately reached for the phone nearby and dialled the number. Waited patiently for the connection, and she gasped when she heard his voice.
"Hello, stackhouse speaking."
"Hey bruce." rachel answered, greeting him. "Racgel? OMG, hiw long has it been girlfriend?" bruce replied excited.
"Too long but something I need to ask you."
"Anything, but first. You gotta meet my new beau." bruce mentioned and requested hopeful. Rachel was silent for a second then finally replied.
"New beau? Wow, it has been a long time and we indeed have alot to catch up on, dont we?" rachel said, surprised.
"Where do you want to meet?" he asked. "Well, is the old diner on 5th street still around?"
"Oh, you mean the masey's diner?"
"Yeah, that one."
"Masey's diber is open, I'll meet you there in a hour." bruce said.
"Sure thing, brucey." Rachel smiled, exhaled and stood up. Quickly hurriedly left the room, closed the door and wolfjade glanced rachel. "Whoa, sweet thing. Where you're hurring to?"
"Could you let raphael know when he comes home, I'll be back. I have to meet a friend." Rachel asked, putting her leather jacket on and grabbed the keys with a helmet.
"Uh sure, I can do that. Who is this friend If I may ask?"
"Bruce stackhouse." Rachel answered, fiddled with the keys inbetween her fingers. "Bruce stackhouse? Is he a old boyfriend?" wolfjade wondered.
Rachel protested upsetly. "No, he is gay." Woldjade glanced surprised, widened eyed and apologised. "Oh, my bad. I'm sorry."
Rachel sighed. "It's ok. I'll be back soon." Kissed her sister's cheek and rushed to the garage and leaped on the motorcycle, riding out. Wolfjade watched, soghed as she carried a tray of fresh brewed tea. "Be careful, sis."
Meanwhile bruce exhaled excitedly as he hadnt seen his lifelong friend since highschool. Placing down the phone, he felt a pair of warm furred limbs draped around his waist and a cool wet nose nuzzled his neck.
"Mmm, who was that?" bane asked, purring.
"An old friend, her name is rachel winchester."
"Oh? Why hadnt you mentioned her before?" bane wondered. Bruce turned and glanced hus ginger white feline mate. "I hadnt spoken to her since high school." He begun and exhaled alittle. Raised his brow, curious and concerned.
"What happened?" bane asked. "My parents disowned me and sent me away, rachel and I lost touch until she found me in a art gallery. My gallery."
Bane smiled, cusped his cheeks and kissed him tenderly then said. "I like to meet her and we too can become siblings." Bruce smiled happily and kissed him back.
"Baby, can you stay here and wait. Let me see and speak to rachel first." Bane smiled abd nodded, agreebly.
"Dont forget to take a umbrella." Held up the black umbrella and bruce windered at first then realised when he looked to the window.
"Oh? Raining outside."
"Mhm, I'll see you when you get back." bane smiled. Bruce smiled, kissed his felibe mate once more and left the apartment.
Closed the door behind him, bane watched from the living roim window as he rode on the motorcycle.
Elsewhere, outside Masey's diner. While hiding behind the large dumpster. Wiping the rainwater away from her little brow. Her little stomach rumbled, crept out from her hiding spot and entered the diner door then walked down to the far back of thr diner and sat down. A waitress walked up to the child and took out a pen and said. "What'd it be, sweetie?"
Rosie didnt answer, kept her little hands down and hidden. The waitress repeated her question once more and glance up then asked another with concern. "What'd it be, oh sweetie what happened?"
Rosie didnt answer, fiddled with her fingers and the waitress sat down. "Do you like a milkshake? A sandwich?" Rosie nodded.
"Ok, I'll be back." walked to the counter and handed the ticket, which the waitress named selene chose to pay with her tips for the order.
"Ernie, chocolate milkshake and chicken mayo with egg sandwich. Over easy please."
Ernie glanced selenr and asked. "What an order, are you pregnant?" selene chuckled.
"No ernie. A special order for a special guest."
"Alright then." Ernie said and prepared the requested meal.
"Thankyou ernie." selene replied, smiled. "Welcome dollface."
Ten minutes later. The door opened and rachel walked in, taking her helmet off and exhaled alittle. "Damn weather."
Taking her seat nearby the long dining bench and requested while she waited and placed her helmet down on the seat beside her.
"May I have a ice tea, sweet please."
"Sure, sweetie." selene answered.
"Would you like anything else?"
"Hamburger with overeasy egg please." rachel requested. "What is with the strange requests tonight?" ernie asked. Selene shrugged.
