The next day, Donny decided that he should try to virus scan his computer and see if it came

up with anything. Crossing his fingers, he set to work

Raph and Leo sat in the living room. Leo was reading a book, while Raph

attempted to find something good on TV. Mikey was in the kitchen, making breakfast

for everyone.

Venus was still sleeping in her room, which was unusual, since she was usually up first.

Raph sighed, and gave up on finding a good station. Just then he heard footsteps

and, looking up, saw Venus as she left her room. Raph got up to say good morning, and

noticed a bruise on Venus's arm. "Where did you get this?" Raph questioned, noticing a

few more bruises on her other arm. "Nowhere" Venus replied, obviously upset at the

question. "Those bruises didn't come from nowhere." Raph stated calmly, trying to keep

her calm. Venus looked at him for a second, trying to figure out what he meant by that.

"Maybe next time you'll keep your hands to yourself, then." She calmly stated, then

walked out the door.

Raph stared after her, confused, while Leo, who had given up on the book when

she came out, got up and looked at Raph. "What happened?" he asked, trying to keep

from sounding like he was accusing Raph of something he hadn't done. "I have no clue,"

Raph replied, "but I'm sure that we'll find out soon enough." Just then, Donny called

Raph into his computer room. "What now, Donny"? Raph asked, trying to sound

casual. "The blip is back, in the Dragon lord's old lair, you want to go see what's up?

Take your Turtle Com with you, and if there is anything weird going on, just tell us."

Donny told him, then looked at the computer. "All right, I'll go, I hope she's all right."

"I do to, Raph, believe me, I do to." With that Raph walked to the ladder and, climbing

onto his bike, went searching for Venus, hoping to find the answers to her weird attitude.
