Sasha fell forward into Raph's arms. He caught her, dropping his sai. She was out. Autumn turned to her sister, but Mikey moved in front of her. "Stay where you are girl," he said with anger in his voice. Autumn looked at the turtle with the orange bandana.

"Fuck you," she said before pushing him out of her way and going to her sister's side. Mikey fell on his butt. "Damn it," he said, rubbing his bottom. He glared at the pink bandana wearer as she tried to wake her sister up. His gaze softened toward her as he noticed the fear in her eyes.

"Come on Sasha, Wake up," Autumn said with determination. She was gently slapping Sasha's face, but she wasn't waking. Autumn thought back to the last time this happened, and how Kia had gotten her to wake up. She smiled and leaned down next to her sister's ear.

"Sasha, I know you can hear me. How about you wake up now, cause you will be pleasantly surprised to find yourself in the arms of a handsome stranger." Autumn sat up and looked at her sister, who was starting to stir.

"Autumn?" Sasha said quietly before opening her eyes slowly, focusing on a pair of brown eyes staring down at her with concern. As the rest of the picture came into focus she noticed she was resting in someone's arms, the owner of the brown eyes and red bandana.

Suddenly she remembered everything, Shredder, where they were, why she fainted. She looked up into the brown eyes and studied them. They didn't hold the murderous impulses anymore, or the anger. They looked worried, confused, and concerned.

Without thinking, Sasha reached up and wrapped her arms around Raph's neck and pulled him into a fierce hug. At first he was confused, but as he listened to her sobs, he relaxed and allowed her to hug him.

Autumn smiled at the display. "About time Sasha opened up," she thought to herself. Sasha released herself from Raph and stood. Raph followed suit. They stood in an awkward silence until Donny entered the room. He looked up and saw his brothers standing there with their weapons drawn and shook his head.

"You guys need to lighten up. They aren't going to hurt us. Do I look hurt?" he spun around to emphasis his point. "They kidnapped me, but they brought me back. Safe and unharmed." About this time Donny noticed Splinter. "Oh hello there Sensei," Donny said bowing, "didn't see ya there." Donny walked into the kitchen and emerged a few minutes later with a couple of wet washcloths.

Once he was back in his lab, his brothers turned to Splinter, looking for confirmation that it was safe to let their guard down. He nodded and the boys put their weapons away. The girls stood, slowly, afraid that one false move would lead to an attack.

Leo stepped forward and extended his three-fingered hand. "My name is Leonardo, Leo for short." Sasha looked at his hand carefully before taking it in her own. "Sasha and this is my sister Autumn." Autumn stepped forward and offered her hand.

"Hiya," she said happily. Leo shook her hand, followed by Raph. Autumn handed Raph his sai. "Sorry about that earlier," Raph said taking it back. Autumn smiled.

"I shouldn't have provoked you," she said turning to Mikey. She extended her hand out to Mikey. He looked at it before taking it in his own.

Autumn felt a wave of warmth rush through her when she felt Mikey's hand in hers, but she shook it off. With their hands at their respectable sides, Autumn and Mikey turned away from each other. Mikey went into the kitchen while Autumn and Sasha headed off to the lab where Judy was being cared for.

Mikey sat at the kitchen table, soon joined by Leo and Raph. All three of them exchanged looks. "Inviting the enemy back to the lair? What the hell was Donny thinking?" Leo said to himself.

"I was thinking that these girls needed some help," Donny said walking into the kitchen and over to the sink. He began rinsing off the washcloth he was carrying.

"Sorry Donny, I…I didn't mean…" Donny turned to his brothers sitting at the table. "Look guys, it's okay. You were worried about me, I understand. They attacked us, they worked for Shredder, they kidnapped me, but they also protected me, fed me, and brought me back unharmed. They don't know the truth about us, only what Shredder told them. Now that they've met us, maybe we can set them right."

Donny turned from his brothers and went back to the lab.

Shredder paced in his chamber, his anger still flowing through him. "Damn those girls," he said to himself. "How dare they question my judgment? How dare that one attack me! HOW DARE THEM!"

A foot soldier appeared and bowed to his master. "Master Shredder," the soldier said, "the girls are nowhere to be found."

Shredder turned to the soldier and slammed him against the wall. "WHAT?" The soldier gasped for breath as Shredder tightened his grip on the soldier's neck. "Find them…now," Shredder demanded before dropping the soldier and continuing his pacing.

The soldier slowly stood and bowed to his master before turning toward the door.

"Oh, when you find them," the soldier turned back to his master, "kill them."

The soldier nodded and bowed before leaving Shredder alone.
