Chapter 11:

Chrissy walked between two very large and very deserted buildings on the outskirts of the city. Her rather cocky sparing partner had turned out to be a little more accomplished with his powers, when not acting like god's gift. She wasn't sure if she was a match for him with just her psy powers alone, and much to her annoyance it looked like she would have to use some of the spells her mother had made her learn before she died. She jumped as she heard a ringing coming from her trouser pocket and laughed to herself when she realized it was the shell cell Donatello had given her.

"Hello?" She answered still keeping her keen senses partly focused on her more immediate task.

"Oh you're okay!" Came Donnie's very relieved sounding voice over the cell, "we saw the news and thought that you might have been one of the. . . " He stopped not really wanting to go on.

"I'm following one of the bad guys," she informed him matter of factly, "news?"

"Yeah don't you know, Nikki's been taken to a hospital for gun shot wounds, along with Tia who's there for shock," he said a little more quietly as if not wanting someone to hear him, "who are you following? Maybe you should come to the lair and we'll get him?"

"Trust me you wouldn't have a chance, he's a psychic like me," she paused and looked to her right quickly thinking she'd seen something, "besides I need the practice, and why should I let you guys have all the fun."

"Are you hurt?" He asked, concern creeping into his voice. She looked down at her body and took in the various cuts, scratches and bruises and the now ruined clothes she was wearing.

"Well lets just say there's nothing that'll leave a mark Donnie."

"Whatever Chrissy," he said in an exasperated tone, "just stay in that area, we can at least help you, see ya." Donnie hung up and she put the cell back into her pocket.

"Ah well more little toys to play with hey little girl?" she heard before being slammed into another wall.

"Leo, Mikey!" Donnie called as he rushed over to his brothers, he gave Raphael a sympathetic glance before carrying on, "Christina's following one of the guys involved in this mess, I think she needs help."

"Then you must go my sons," Splinter told then, he placed a comforting hand on Raphael's shaking shoulders his tears flowing freely, "I will take care of you're brother for now, quickly before another tragedy befalls this night!" The three other turtles nodded and rushed to the elevator, Donnie grabbing his bag on the way. Once topside and in the battle shell he activated his computer and started to track Christina, and thankfully she was only a few blocks away.

Chrissy tried to get the upper hand as barrage after barrage came at her produced by her opponent's mind. Quite how she did it she wasn't sure but she managed to dodge an energy ball and throw back on of her own. He fell and she ran if only to find a place to catch her breath before continuing. She ran down a few alleys before she sensed a familiar mind heading her way, "Donnie?" she thought as she ran. She rounded a fifth corner and ran straight into him, or rather he ran into her.

"Chrissy!" He exclaimed as he helped her up, then frowned at her current state, "you look like you've had you're but kicked! And some of those cuts might leave marls Chrissy!"

"Thanks?" she said sarcastically.

"Where is he?" He asked still holding her arms. She panted a little before answering him.

"Somewhere out there trying to find me!" she replied.

"I've already found you sweetie pie!" The psychic yelled as his powers flared. Chrissy readied herself for another blast but it never came instead there was a strangled cry from behind her and when she turned she saw Donnie being lifted into the air, his eyes were wide and he was struggling against some force around his neck.

"Stop it!" she screamed as she watched Donnie's struggling become weaker and his eyes become duller.

"When I'm having so much fun, no way!" Donnie's hands now hung limp at his sides and he no longer struggled, his eyes fluttered shut and Chrissy felt a tear run down her cheek.

"You monster!!" she yelled before throwing the largest energy blast she could muster. Her opponent dropped Donnie as he smashed through a wall and she ran to her friend's side placing his head on her knees. "Donnie?" No answer, "Donnie please don't die, not because of me?" She leant down close to his face to see if he was still breathing, vaguely sensing his brothers arrive and kneel down beside them, she felt a slight breeze on the side of her face and sighed. Donnie stirred and opened his eyes, he looked at his brothers then to the girl holding him and blushed a little.

"Awe, did I hurt you're little friend?" the psychic stood up unsteadily, blood was pouring out of a gash on his cheek, "I'm sorry, but hey look on the bright side girlie, maybe it's kinder to put those freaks out of their misery." He laughed and she snapped. She gently place Donnie into his brothers' capable hands and stood, her body was glistening with the energy produced by her powers, "what ya gonna do girlie, you've already found out I can take your best and give it back so how are you going to beat me?"

"They told you I was a psychic but that's not my only line of defense, just my usual, but I know ways that can turn you into a vegetable for the rest of you're life." all eyes were on her, each and every one bore a shocked and confused expression, she looked up to the heavens and, "Hecate I Christina Fae ask you to lend me you're power!" She yelled, the sky above went from clear to cloudy in a matter of moments and thunder roared and lightening struck, her eyes snapped back to her target and she pointed her right hand towards him, "I bind you monster, I bind from doing harm to others and yourself," a five pointed star slowly drew itself out around her on the cement in brilliant white as she spoke, then a circle connected the five points, "I bind you monster, I bind you from doing harm to others and yourself! I bind you monster, I bind you from doing harm to others and yourself!" The third was yelled at the top of her lungs, as was the next phrase, "As above," she threw her right hand up to the heavens and lightening struck it, "so below," her hand came down again and she slammed it into the cement causing an indentation and the turtles felt the earth tremble and the sky explode, "SO MOTE IT BE!" They were all blinded by a brilliant white light that dissipated as quickly as it came. Leo, Mikey and Donnie stared at Chrissy in awe as she walked up to the now trembling man sitting on the ground, she knelt down so that she could be at eye level with him, "The Goddess Hecate in her wisdom has taken back the gift she bestowed to you at birth and you're mind is now left blind by the great one, oh and by the way, your sins will return to you three fold monster!" She stood and he scrambled to get away once he was gone she looked once again to the heavens, "Thank you Hecate, Blessed be."

"Woah." Said Mikey. None of the brothers could believe what they'd just seen.

"What was that?" Asked Donnie, his voice sounding a little sore.

"Migick, what else," she winked when she turned to them, "shall we go find out how are friends are or what?" She finished before anyone could question her about what she'd just done.

As they walked to the battle shell, Leo's cell went off and April told them that Raphael had disappeared, but had probably gone to the hospital where they'd taken Nikki so she was heading there and would meet them in an alleyway nearby. Donnie claimed he was fine and so did Chrissy although they both looked like they could do with a good long nap, and decided they'd best find Raph.

Raphael leapt onto the opposite building to the hospital the news lady had said Nikki was in and crouched on the ledge looking up at the immense multitude of windows, he had no hope of knowing if he was even on the right side but he had to at least be there. All the lady had said was that she was in critical condition, he'd seen Tia being walked out of the restaurant looking like crap and his heart had broken, just her look alone told him it was bad and for the first time ever he'd openly cried in front of his brothers. Yeah he'd cried around them before but he'd always tried to hide it, but this time he couldn't.

"Are you okay Raph?" Asked Leo when he found his brother on the roof top.

"Peachy." Was his simple answer. Leo walked over to his brother and placed an arm around his shoulder, hiding his mild surprise that Raph didn't pull away from the embrace he carried on.

"April's gone inside to find out what's going on, and how she is," Leo joined Raph in looking up at the hospital, "she'll tell us if anything's wrong." Raph just nodded and kept starring at the hospital as if he could guard the whole place.

"There was nothing you could do Raph." He sighed when Raphael offered no answer and tried a different tact, "she'll be okay, you said yourself she's toucher than most humans."

"He okay?" Came Mikey's voice. Leo turned to see Mikey, Donnie and Chrissy standing behind them on the roof. He shook his head and sighed not knowing what to do. Christina approached and to his surprise produced a blanket and draped in over Raph's shoulders. The turtle in red tore his eyes away from the hospital for a moment to look at her questioningly.

"It's getting cold and as I'm pretty sure you're unlikely to leave here anytime soon you'd better keep warm." she gave him a small, reassuring smile and he returned it with an even smaller one of his own, wrapping the blanket around himself a little more and making himself a little more comfortable he returned to looking at the hospital walls.

"Yeah Raph it's the middle of November, so we'll get you some more stuff in a while just to be sure you don't make yourself ill okay bro?" Donnie added and received a nod.

It was an hour before April made it back to the battle shell and what she'd been told was not great. Wally was there comforting Tia and Nikki had been in theater when she'd first arrived. April had decided to stay a while until her younger friend was out to find out exactly how she was doing to try and give something for poor Raphael to hope for. When she had April was told that a miracle was needed and that nearly every organ in her body had had a bullet in it, and that they didn't know how she'd managed to last as long as she had. After that she'd spoken to Tia and been told that there were members of the CIA in the building who were friends of the Roberts and knew of what Nikki was, they were also aware of Powers which was why they were there to protect her. All this she told to the turtles and Chrissy on the roof, she watched Raph the whole time seeing his heart break the more she told but she had to tell them, they needed to know.

The turtles, along with Chrissy and Casey, took turns to stay with Raph as he kept his vigil by the hospital, making sure he was warm enough and ate and drank something. He was there for two days straight before Tia sent news through April that Nicole had woken up, but was still very weak, it wasn't until then that Raph could be persuaded to go back to the lair and get some sleep.
