Raph glared at April and Cori before he left with Casey. The intensity of his gaze lessened when he looked at Cori. April stood there, still holding Cori, but her fire was burned out. She was no longer angry, just shocked. She let go of Cori when Donnie walked over to comfort her. They walked together to the couch. Leo left for the dojo but Mikey stayed behind with Cori. "Are you okay Mikey," Cori asked. "Yeah it's just, I never seen April fight with Casey like that. I don't know why she got so upset. She's usually pretty level-headed about these things." Cori said nothing. She pulled out her black leather gloves out of her pocket and slipped them on. "Wanna go get some pizza or something?" Mikey smiled but then it slowly faded. "No, we can't. Sensei's goin' to get some food." Mikey and Cori walked down the hall.
April and Donnie were sitting next to each other on the couch. They were talking to low for Cori to listen. Of course she could always listen to their thoughts but she didn't feel like it. Cori trudged into the kitchen to get something to drink. There was some Coke in the fridge. She pulled it out and poured some into a glass. She glanced up at the clock. It read 12:23. How could that be, Cori thought. The training must have been longer than expected. Mikey sat down on a stool next to the table. Cori and Mikey talked through the next twenty minutes until Splinter came back with pizza for his sons and other supplies. Cori picked up a piece of pizza and shoved it into her mouth.
"Where is Raphael?" "Hees wit Casy on te surfis," replied Cori. Her mouth was still filled with pizza. "He's with Casey to blow off some steam," Leo said. Splinter looked a little sad but only for a moment. Maybe Cori had imagined because he no longer showed it. Cori looked up at the clock again. She almost choked on her food. "Are you okay," asked Donnie. Cori wiped her mouth with her glove. "Yeah, I forgot I need to call my mom." Donnie's eyes widened. "I forgot something too. Here." He passed her a phone that resembled a turtle shell.
"Narcissistic much?" "It's a phone to contact us with. I also took your contacts from your old phone and put them in here. Oh and also." He walked into his lab and came back out with her mask. "So you're the one who went into my room!" Donnie rubbed his neck. "Sorry but I noticed your phone was broken and though I could fix some other things." "What 'other things.'" Donnie grabbed the mask back and twisted a small knob that wasn't there before. "I've given your mask some advancements like night vision and infrared." Cori wasn't listening, she was texting her mother. "Yeah, I'll check that out. Now uh I gotta go."
