Don't own TMNT

Chapter 13: Away From Prying Eyes

Madison was bustling around the kitchen preparing dinner. She hadn't heard a peep out of Kaylin in over an hour. She kinda felt bad, after all Kaylin had been through one heck of a week, adjusting to her 'coming of age' situation where she couldn't really practice anyways with out having issues. She thought for a moment, maybe it really wasn't that big of deal, Kay could do her assignment before bed. Wiping her hands on a near by dishtowel she made her way out of the kitchen and towards their room.

"Hey Kay, if you want you can…" Madison stood in the doorway looking extremely confused as to why Donatello was sitting on Kaylin's bed, with Kaylin's homework in hand, but without Kaylin. "Donny?"

"Oh hey, Madison," he said looking up for a moment before turning back to the paper he was writing on.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping Kay with her homework."

"Then where pray tell is Kaylin?" Madison asked, looking slightly frustrated.

"She went to grab a soda she said."

"When was that?"

"Not to long ago, only about…" Donny glanced at the bedside clock. "An hour ago?"

"She DIDN'T!" Madison turned on her heels and nearly slammed into Peter.

"Who didn't do what?" he asked.

"You're sister ditched her homework and left Don to do it," Madison said angrily. "Has she been in the dojo with you this whole time?"

"No," Peter said. "I haven't seen her since lunch."

"Oh when I get my hands on that girl..." Madison went storming off. Peter felt sorry for his twin but he was sure glad he wasn't sharing in her fate. Madison searched the entire Lair and no sign of Kaylin. By this point she was fuming. "Kaylin Janette Miller! You have 30 seconds to get out here now or you are in so much trouble!" Madison yelled in no particular direction.

"Kay's not here," Leo said from the couch.

"What!"

"Yeah she left with Raph about an hour ago."

"Where did they go!"

"I think he took her topside for awhile, why?"

"Topside!" exclaimed Mikey and Peter at the same time, giving each other a horrified look. He was topside.

"But it's still light out!" Madison said. "Someone could see her and report her to our dad!" Madison didn't need to hear another word before she ran out of the Lair, Peter and Mikey hot on her tail. They were down the tunnels and out the manhole in less than 5 minutes. Madison pushed herself out of the manhole and immediately started climbing the fire escape.

"What are you doing?" Mikey asked, starting to climb himself, Peter behind him.

"I know Kaylin," Madison shouted down to them. "If she's anywhere close she'll be up high." They didn't find her on that rooftop but when seeing how close the roofs were together Madison narrowed her eyes. "Didn't you guys say something about getting around by jumping roofs?" she asked Mikey.

"Yeah why?"

"Because I have a sister who is just crazy enough to try it," Madison crouched down than sprinted at the ledge, leaping over the gap and landing firmly on the other side.

"Wow, she's a natural," Mikey marveled as he picked up Peter and effortlessly leaped the opening.

"No…" Peter gulped. "She's pissed…"

Madison looked around but still saw no sign of the teenager. She was checking around an old pigeon coop when the sound of some commotion below her peaked her curiosity and she peered over the side. Her eye widened at the scene. It was Raphael and Kaylin. They were fighting off at least a dozen Purple Dragon gang members; a situation Madison had to roll her eyes at. She should of expected this. Although, she had to admit, that for someone who had only been in martial arts for a month Kaylin was doing very well.

It wasn't until she saw a familiar looking dragon slam his massive form into her sister's small body that her eyes grew cold with fury. She heard a crack when Kay hit the ground, which she thought might have come from her arm. Hearing Kaylin's scream, Madison lost all sense of reasoning. Her eyes blazed with rage. She swung her feet over the edge, kicked the release on the fire escape and rode the ladder to the ground. A few of the dragons took note of her presence and attacked but she made swift work of each of them. Her punches were rigid and those she hit not only went down but stayed down. A few of the dragons were smart and ran away after catching just one glimpse of the expression of pure fury and detestation on her face.

She saw the punk hoist Kay up with his massive arm and pull his fist back to deliver a cuff to her face. Madison caught his wrist in her hand and held it unyielding. She narrowed her eyes darkly at him with a deep sense of rage. He turned around and slightly shrank away from her piercing glare.

"Put… her… down," she said in a low deadly voice.

"What are you gonna do it I don't?" he smirked at her, recovering from his first impression.

Madison didn't respond but he had his answer when she fist made contect with his face; funny thing ishe never saw her fist move. The sound of his nose cracking echoed in the ally and he dropped Kaylin to grab his bleeding nose. Madison caught Kaylin before she hit the ground. Hearing her whimper in pain Madison gritted her teeth in anger. She picked her up and set her down next to a dumpster. Peter rushed to his twin side, seeing she was somewhat ok he turned to the gang member who had dared to hurt his sister and had a look of revenge in his eye. "Stay with your sister," Madison ordered coldly. There was no arguing with that tone. Peter stayed where he was and watched his older sister walk back into the brawl. He winced when he saw Madison practically lift one guy in the air and decked him hard across the face. He crumpled to the ground and didn't get back up.

Mikey had gone to help Raph out and between the two of them they made short work of the four guys that were around them. It wasn't until they looked up and saw Madison that they completely froze. Her eyes were hallow and cold as she attacked the remaining Dragons. They had never seen anyone fight like that before. She was graceful but unforgiving with her attacks. She hit fast and she hit hard and in no time flat had every last dragon lying comatose on the ally floor. The man who had attacked Kaylin tried to make a run for it but she grabbed him by the shirt and threw him to the ground. She had delivered such a blow to his groin that he vomited.

"You like picking on little girls, huh?" she snarled at him. "Well pick on this..." she hit him hard four times in the face. He spit up the blood that was gushing from his gums and lips. He tried to get up but Madison's iron grip on his throat kept him subdued. "If you ever...ever touch my family again I will kill you," she seethed. "And that is not a warning. That is a promise." With that she brought her fists together and delivering a blow to the side of his head that it rendered him unconscious.

Her four on lookers stared at her in disbelief, not really sure whether or not they could believe what they had just witnessed. All of Madison's sweet and kind nature had completely evaporated and the woman standing over the lifeless punk was someone they didn't dare approach. It wasn't until Madison wiped the punk's blood off of her knuckles on his shirt and got up did anyone attempt to move. She calmly walked over and scooped Kaylin up into her arms. She shot a frigid piercing glare over her shoulder at Raphael who shrank back from it.

"Let's go," she ordered, walking out of the ally and into the next one to go back down the manhole. By now it was pitch black out so the turtles had no problem running to just the next ally. It was actually Peter who seemed uneasy. While Raph was watching Mikey lower Kaylin into the sewers, he was watching a familiar car parked across the street. The car started up its engine and started slowly rolling. The driver shot Peter a wicked smile from behind the window glass. As Peter lowered himself into the sewer and recovered the manhole, the devil slowly drove away.
