Chapter 3: Spark wakes up from her slumber... but is she fully recovered?!
Spark groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She felt as if she had been sleeping for days. The world around her was dark through her sunglasses. She could hardly remember what she had been doing, but then the stinging pain from her wounds. She sat up and felt the blanket that had been gently placed on her. She blinked her eyes. She put her hand to her forehead, expecting to feel the rough felt of her hat. But instead, she felt a crashing pain wave through her head. She felt dizzy and disoriented, but she slowly regained her clear head after sitting up for a few minutes. She stood up off the couch and slowly looked around.
"Where am I?" she though as she looked that the high tech, yet comfortable home. Spark spotted her weapons and hat on a table with a mirror hanging over it. Grunting a little in pain, she walked over the table and looked over her items. She looked in the mirror and noticed the big, fist sized bruise on her forehead. She gingerly put her left hand on it and muttered some words. Wind collected around her forehead, and she felt more relaxed and her bruise felt cooler. She saw the two scar marks on her face and ran her fingers over it. Sighing, she quickly fixed her pigtails, and put on her blood red hat. She reloaded her weapons in their rightful place, gazed at herself one last time, and turned around, only to crash into Raphael. He had just woken up from his chair and had seen her looking at herself in the mirror. He looked her over in disbelief and grabbed her shoulders.
"You're alive, Spark! You're alive!!! I don't believe it..."he repeated over and over, looking at her eyes (or, tried to under her dark sunglasses.) Spark sighed again, and moved out of his gaze and unhurriedly walked over to the couch, where she folded the blanket and sat down. Raphael sat next to her.
"How long have I been out?" she asked, hoping it hadn't been more then a few hours.
Raph looked at her. "Three days! You've just been lying on the couch, not moving! I was worried..." He stared at her as she got off the couch and flipped a cell phone out of her pocket.
"Do you get reception down in your lair?" Spark asked as she walked around, looking for a door. When she found one, she turned and looked at Raphael. The turtle walked over to her and opened the steel door for her.
"No, you have to go out onto the top roof a few blocks from here, close to the power plant..." Raph stopped. "Spark, Spark?" The girl had left when he told her where to go. Sighing, he mumbled under his breath, "So now I'm a babysitter."
Spark ran around the dark alleys and leapt over some wire fences. Once, she got her foot caught in a wire fence and fell down, scraping her knees and hands. She groaned lightly, but got up and brushed off her shirt. She whispered some words, and wind surrounded her wounds. They stopped bleeding, but where still scars. After she left around the corner, a figure let his breath out and quickly followed her. After Spark got to the roof, she took her phone and dialed.
"Hey, it's me. Yah, I'm hanging out at the turtle's place. No, you know I don't do social hours. Hum, yah, fine. Three past four, how about that? Early enough for you? The sun will be up soon by then. Uh huh, well, coffee isn't my style, but okay. Well, bye."
Spark ended the call and looked around at the full luminous moon that flew over her head. She tilted her head toward the moon and all of a sudden, wind started to surround her. She felt her head become clear, and she felt comforted. After she broke her gaze at the moon, she turned around and started down the ladder that she climbed up of. Then, the ladder gave way and crashed to the floor. Spark quickly chanted some words, and wind swished under her, forming a wind board. She landed softly on the floor on her knees, and collapsed on the ground, too weak to get back up. A voice yelling, "Who's there?" and a light came running around the corner. Before Spark could roll into the dark comfort of the alley, someone grabbed her and jumped into the alleyway, hiding in the shadow. After the person left the place, Spark stood up and faced the person.
"You said you'd be okay. You're not fully recovered yet. Come on, I'll take you back to the lair," said Raphael as he walked next to the small Asian girl. Spark looked at him and smiled.
"I've always felt great to be at your side... Raphael," she said slowly as they walked toward the turtle's lair. The red turtle grinned, and held her shoulders.
"Call me Ruffles, like you have always. It'll make me feel better."
"Thanks."
"Any time, Spark, Any time."
