Venus, who had walked in the lair along with Mikey and April as Donny had begun talking, intervened. "So it's true then, Raph really is dead, isn't he? There's no way that he's still out there somewhere, alive and well?" Donny turned to Venus, and then sighed. "I'm sorry Venus, I just don't see anyway that he could still be alive, it just doesn't seem possible. You heard what I said about what I found, if he's still alive, it would be a miracle and a half."

Venus breathed in sharply, and turned towards Leo. "So what do we do now, Leo?" She asked, trying to keep from crying. Leo looked at her for a minute before shrugging. "I'm not sure anymore Venus, I'm just not sure." Venus groaned in frustration before turning and running downstairs. Leo looked at his brother for help, but all they could do was grimace and look away, deciding to stay out of this argument. Leo sighed and walked down to Venus's room.

He knocked on her door, and heard her grunt a come in. Opening it, he sat down on Venus's bed, looking at her for a minute. "V, come on, it's going to be ok, I promise. Why can't you believe me?" Venus just glared at him for a minute before turning and ignoring him. "Come on V, it's going to be ok, I'm telling you." Venus began to cry, and Leo just wrapped an arm around her, rocking her gently, hoping that he was doing the right thing, but not really sure.

Venus managed to smile at Leo, and patted his arm. "I'll be fine now Leo, go ahead back upstairs, I'll be there in a minute. Leo nodded, and began to walk back downstairs. Venus sighed as she watched Leo go. She knew that it would take a long time for them to get over this, and she briefly wondered what would happen next. She then walked upstairs to join her family and to plan Raph's funeral. The next few days passed with that dreaded feeling everyone gets when they're planning a funeral.
