"I can't say I agree with the Nightwatcher's methods but at least he is helping to keep the city safe." Alexis says as she is sitting on the couch watching the news with Michelangelo.

"I remember how that used to feel busting up syndicates. Sure they had a bunch of guns but they weren't like these guns." Michelangelo says happily as he jumps onto the couch and makes a pose.

"Why do you do this to yourself Mikey? Those days are over. Forget them. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work." Donatello says as he walks by holding a gadget before going over to the table as Alexis goes over and sits with him.

"Yeah, yeah. Spoken like a true has-been. If it hadn't been for me then Alexis may not be here right now. You just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I did exactly what we used to do. Defended her. At least the Nightwatcher is defending the city." Raphael says as he is standing on the higher up area before jumping down.

"Well look who woke up. I suppose you think the Nightwatcher is some kind of hero." Donatello says as Raphael walks over to him.

"Come on guys. Let's not start something." Alexis says as Donatello and Raphael ignore her.

"Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free." Raphael says.

"I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. We're contributing around here. Even Alexis is helping us out. All you do is sleep." Donatello says.

"Yeah I do nothing. You're right. You got me all figured out." Raphael says as he walks around to the other side of Donatello.

"I know that your rogue attitude has been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things but you're wrong." Donatello says.

"First of all this team you speak of doesn't anymore. And second of all..." Raphael says as he goes to punch Donatello causing Donatello to drop his tool before the two see Splinter.

"Raphael. Enough." Splinter says as Raphael backs off.

"Heh. I made my point." Raphael says as he begins to walk off.

"That doesn't prove anything. Why couldn't you send him away for training?" Donatello asks as Splinter goes over to him.

"Just let it go Donatello. There's no point in getting angry about it. Raphael just likes to stir the pot." Alexis says as Donatello looks at her.

"Alexis is right my son. This home has become like an shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to this recognize then all hope is lost for our family." Splinter says as he walks off.

"Still it would be nice to get a break from Raph's attitude." Donatello says as he looks for the tool he dropped.

"He's your family. we might be able to pick who our friends our but our family is our family." Alexis says.

"Yeah. You're right. He's still a pain though." Donatello says.

"Not wrong there. But what can you do?" Alexis asks.

"Makes me wonder how you put up with it to he around him. He always chills out some when you're here." Michelangelo says.

"Raph isn't as bad as he seems. He lets out more of a rough exterior than he actually means to. I hope you guys know he really does care about you." Alexis says as she looks at Donatello and Michelangelo.

"We know bur his attitude doesn't always help." Michelangelo says.

"Point made." Alexis says.

*Timeskip*

Later at night as Alexis is sleeping in wolf form beside the couch she soon wakes up hearing footsteps before quickly hiding and watching out of sight. Alexis then starts growling lowly before seeing a giant turtle wearing a blue mask walk into the room as she stops growling.

"Huh? Hey.. that kind of looks like Leonardo from the picture Raphael showed me. If he's here then he must finally be back home. Donnie and Mikey will be happy. I guess he wants to speak to Splinter first though." Alexis thinks as she sees Leonardo walk into Splinter's room before laying down.

"Hey Leo's back. Better go say hello before he leaves again." Raphael says as he walks past Donatello causing him to wake up.

"What? Leo?" Donatello asks as he sees Leonardo and hugs him before Michelangelo wakes up.

"Huh? Leo? Is that really you? I'm like dreaming aren't I?" Michelangelo asks as he falls out of the chair before getting up in a hurry.

"No Mikey. You're not dreaming." Leonardo says as Michelangelo hugs him.

"Oh good. I have nightmares about parties." Michelangelo says as Alexis smiles seeing the brothers reunited.

"Leo we got someone we would like you to meet. Meet Alexis." Donatello as Alexis walks over.

"She's a friend of Raph but she's really become a friend to all of us since you left." Michelangelo says.

"It's nice to finally meet you Leonardo. I've heard a lot about you. I apologize for the confusion on my appearance. I am a wolf shifter with elemental capabilities." Alexis says kindly as she shifts to human form and bows politely to Leonardo.

"It is nice to meet you as well but how did you meet Raph?" Leonardo asks.

"While I'm happy to tell you I'm sure you guys have catching up to do so I'm gonna head home. I'll talk to you later Raph." Alexis says as Raphael looks at her as he comes over.

"Be safe getting back. Don't need a repeat of our first meeting." Raphael says.

"I will." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and runs off.
