"What do you mean," I asked. "You know what I mean," she said. Her voice wavered with anger but also with something else. "I'm talking about last night," she continued, "Where you knew I was looking in your mind. You happened to let that explanation slip." I cracked my knuckles. "Well, I didn't think that I could hear your thoughts like you could hear mine. But then, I heard you. Well there wasn't any sound really but like a pressure in my head. I knew it had to be you. Call it intuition." She looked unconvinced.
"Okay, I don't really know what happened but that's why I wanted you to talk to me. I want to run tests on you." Cori crossed her arms. "Am I a test rat now?" "No, no, I mean I just wanted to see if I could enhance your power. I think it might be telekinetic like April's." Cori's eyes widened as she said "April has superpowers?" I rubbed my neck and gave a nervous laugh. "I guess I might have left that out. Look I just want to see what your prime is," I said. Cori looked down at her feet. "Alright, but first I want Leo in a bed since you happen to make him stay up all night for nothing!"
I was shocked by her attitude. I nodded and left the lab. I was also kind of embarrassed and maybe a little scared of her. I stood next to Leo. He looked up at me groggily. "You need to go to sleep. Slash isn't here. It was probably a false alarm." My brother shook his head. "No, Slash could still be out there. He knows where we live." "And it'd be stupid if he came here when we're all united instead of by ourselves," I replied. Leo shook his head and continued to stare at the entrance. I couldn't believe how stubborn he was sometimes. Almost like Raph.
I sighed. I knew I'd have to force him to go to bed. I didn't want to but I saw Cori glaring at me from a crack in the door. I rubbed my face and retreated into the dojo. There I woke up Mikey and Raph. "No, my lovely princess. Not yet," Mikey mumbled as I shook him. Mikey's eyes bulged out of his bed as he woke. He looked dazed. "Donnie, what's the prob?" I ignored him and went to wake up Raph. I was about to shake him up when he said "Don't you dare." I smiled as I said "But don't you want to get back at Leo for all those years?" Raph didn't move. "I'm listening." "Leo's been up all night," I explained, "And we're going to force him to go to bed." Mikey rubbed his eyes. "But slash might be out there." I winced. I didn't want to mention Slash in front of Raphael. "No, we've cleared that up, but Leo isn't convinced. I don't think he'll ever be if we don't do something about it." Raphael stood up. "I'm in. So what are we planning to do?" I fiddled with my belt. "Well, I was planning we could just drag him to bed." "I call legs," Mikey shouted. I grinned. They were in. We walked out of the dojo and surrounded Leo. He looked at us lazily.
"What are you guys doing?" He was interrupted when we grabbed him. He put up quite the fight. "Hey let go! This isn't funny!" We carried him to his room and set him on his bed. He tried to sit up but Raph pushed him back down. "Don't make us lock ya in here," he threatened. "But Slash," Leo pleaded. "It's fine. Dude's gone," Mikey reassured. "Are you sure?" Leo directed his question mainly at me. "Yes," I said. Leonardo's face turned to relief as he lay down on his bed. "Good, now leave." I rolled my eyes. My brothers were different that's for sure. I closed the door after us and reentered the lab. Cori had a smug look on her face. "Thank you," she said. I groaned in reply as I sat at my desk.
