Randall was going to be a lot more careful in going through the sewers now, being on the lookout for those creatures. And he thought he was a monster.
He hoped to continue to help to study the DNA results and help Don with stuff around the lair. Don had become quite the scientist to help him to learn more about big science stuff that he would have never known otherwise.
The two of them even began working on a new Battle Shell together. While Don did some more camera setups, Randall worked on the new truck. And vice versa. They also kept it secret from the others.
Mikey wished he could have Randall to himself again, but given that Randall had an adult perspective as much as his brothers, during this time of getting a new home set up to make it a home, Randall was more in the mood to be doing things rather than just playing video games or discussing comic books.
April and Casey even went out and bought a new big screen TV for the lair. Leatherhead helped to carry it down. He and Don got the new cable system set up so anyone could watch it when they weren't busy.
Don and Randall were also concerned about the creatures starting to head to April's basement because of the special tunnel. They both set up a security system close to there too. They were being prepared more than ever.
After talking to Leatherhead too about the creatures, the croc agreed to help out as well. He took a look at the DNA and started coming up with tranquilizers. He figured the outbreak was spreading via if the blue ooze got into their bodies. He and Don also started making a container to contain and study a larger mutation some time. They had to find a way to perhaps stop it.
Randall even wanted to help study the chemicals used to help make tranquilizers for the creatures too. The mutant family could use all the help they could get. Randall even thought about if his old assistant, Fungus, if he could be a part of it, but he was eternally banished from his old world. They would have to make due with what they got.
Randall still did his job at April's, now more in the evenings when the newly installed curtains were closed. But he only worked from 5 to 8. It would be the time he went to go over to the turtles' lair to help out for the night.
It was a warmer winter this year. They didn't go topside all that much because of the ninjas and the colder weather right now, but sometimes. Randall still didn't go out in the cold much. But Leo made sure to keep the runs topside short.
…..
One night, Randall was at home, just taking a night off from working in the lair. The turtles came over for a night of relaxation and wanting to see April at the shop, to see how things were going over here. It had been awhile since they had been over here. They dropped in on Randall first.
Randall heard a knock at his door. "Yeah." he replied.
"Hi, Randall." Mikey greeted.
It wasn't unusual for Mikey to drop in. "Hi, Mike. What brings you by?"
"We just came for a visit with April, but letting you know we were here." Don said.
"She's probably cleaning the shop right now." Randall said. "She likes to do those touch ups in the evenings."
"You gonna come up too?" Leo asked.
"No. I'm gonna take a night off from any work. I need a break, guys. Have fun." Randall said. His voice sounded tired.
"Well, take care, Randall. Come on, guys. Let him be." Leo said.
They went up and knocked on the door, before sliding it open. April was dusting and she wondered who would be knocking. Then the turtles stepped into the shop.
"Guys? This is a surprise." April stated. She went and hugged them. "I've missed you. Where's Randall?"
"He wanted to be left alone." Raph said. They went upstairs to her apartment. Don sat on the couch with her. Mikey sat in the chair. Leo and Raph stood around.
"Randall's been working hard lately, both here and at the lair." April replied.
"Yes, he has. He's been helping me a lot." Don stated.
"I know. He says the new security system is coming along good." she said.
"Yes. And something else." Mikey said.
"It's a surprise." Don said. Then he scratched at the bandages on his leg in annoyance.
"What happened to your leg, Donny?" April asked in concern.
"Kind of a bug bite."
"A REALLY, big bug." Raph added.
Then there was a knock on the door. Randall knew they were here, so it couldn't be him. The guys all ran to hide just in case.
"Uh, guys, you better…" April tried to tell them, but they knew the drill. "Hide." Then she got up to answer the door.
Standing there was another woman with brownish hair and freckles. She had on a blue shirt and brown dress. She had some suit cases by her side. "Robyn!" April said, surprised.
"Hey, sis. How are you?" Robyn declared with a smile.
"Come in." April invited her sister inside. She carried her cases in and set them down before the two sisters hugged. "What are you doing here?"
"I hope you don't mind me dropping in like this, but I just got in from the west coast and thought I'd surprise you." Robyn replied.
The turtles were curious and annoyed that their visit had been interrupted. But they knew they couldn't stay if April was going to have a visitor that didn't know about them.
"Robyn, you're my sister. You're welcome anytime." April said, then they separated from their hug.
"I thought I heard voices. Is… there someone else here?" she asked.
"No. Nobody." April said a little fearfully. Then she pushed Robyn to the bedroom. "Here, put your stuff in my bedroom. I'll make some coffee."
The guys knew and took the cue to go down the spiral staircase. Don was the last to go. He waved at her before he left. She smiled. He was sweet.
On the way out in the basement, the guys warned Randall that he should stay down in the basement, that April now had some company; her sister. Randall said he was going to go to bed shortly anyway. The guys left him on their way out.
April made some coffee for her and Robyn. April began, "The last few months have been tough. My friends used to be around all the time. Now, I barely get to see them." April had told her sister she had some close friends, but she didn't tell her anything else about them.
"What about your boyfriend? That Casey, guy? How's he?" Robyn asked.
"Casey's great. Crazy as ever." April replied.
Robyn then checked her watch. "Sis, can I check my email? I'm supposed to hear back about a job." she asked.
"Sure, go right ahead." April said.
Robyn went and got on the computer, but when she went to use it, a blue screen popped up and green letters in another language popped up. Robyn was shocked. "Is, there something wrong with your computer?" she asked her sister.
April came over and saw it too. "No. There wasn't the last time I used it."
"Maybe it's got a virus." Robyn advised.
"There shouldn't be. Not with all the virus protection and firewalls I have installed in there." April explained.
They continued to stare at it.
"Robyn, I know someone who can take a look at it. Can you help me get it downstairs?" April asked.
"Sure." They got the computer and keyboard down to the shop. April intended to call Don. Then Robyn went back upstairs.
April called Don.
Don was in the lab, working on some schematics. He had a light on that let him see what he was doing. Then his phone started ringing. "Huh?" he questioned who was calling. He opened it up and it was April.
"Hey, April. What's up?" Don asked.
"Don, can you come over later tonight? I need your opinion on something." April stated.
"Sure." Don replied.
Later on, Don told Leo he was going to April's and she needed his help. He would avoid her sister. Leo gave the okay.
When he got to the shop, he left Randall alone on the way upstairs. He knew he was asleep. April met him in the shop.
"So, what's the problem?" he asked.
April had her computer down there for him to see. She showed him. "My computer's been doing that all day. But it's not like any virus I ever seen before." she explained.
Don examined the symbols. "There's something familiar about those symbols. Let me see what happens when I run it through a translation decompiler." He typed away. Then it began to translate.
It turned out to be a message from April's long lost uncle. "Uncle Augie?!" April gasped.
"Could be. Sounds like he's in trouble." Don said.
April then opened up a box where she had put the artifact that had belonged to her uncle. "Here's Uncle Augie's artifact. I haven't touched it since it sent us all to that wasp world." she said.
The artifact then glowed.
"Look at that." Don pointed. "Looks like the message came through the dimensional portal, and infected your computer. The main message is incomplete, but I recognize these symbols as dimensional coordinates. I scanned your uncle's journal into my tech tab. The logger rhythms are identical." he stated.
"Then I'm using those coordinates to go after Uncle Augie." April declared. She went to go grab her bag.
"April, there is no way I'm letting you go alone on something like this. I'm with you." Don said bravely.
"Thanks, Donny. Setting coordinates, and Uncle Augie, here we come." April said and she turned to set the coordinates. Then it flashed and pulled them both into its grasp, sending them to another dimension as it fell to the floor.
….
In another world, Donatello and April were dropped onto cement. "Are you okay?" April asked.
"I think I left my stomach back at your shop." Don replied. He stood up along with her.
"What is this place?" April asked fearfully.
Don took out his bo at the ready as he saw some creatures coming toward them. "I don't know, but here comes the welcoming committee, and they don't look very welcoming." he said in a fearful voice too.
There were a bunch of lizard men coming toward them, wearing blue uniforms, and held shields and staffs. Most were green, but an orange one stepped out from behind, indicating he might be the leader. They all had yellow eyes with slits for pupils.
"Uh, we come in peace." Don declared as calmly as he could manage.
The orange lizard replied, "Ah, good. Welcome, strangers. Have you come to aid the magician?" he asked.
Don and April glanced at each other. He smiled at her. This could be her uncle. "Uh, yes. The magician. Right." Don said.
"Good. We must bring you to the magician immediately." The leader said.
Don and April were guided through the city to where this magician was. Don noticed it was a bit different than Earth's cities. "This place is amazing, April. Some kind of super advanced civilization."
They were led to a building that looked like a Great Hall. They were soon led into a room with a giant version of the artifact. The orange lizard was the leader, and he was called the Counselor.
The Counselor announced to the man in the room, "Magician, you have visitors."
April and Don couldn't believe who they were seeing. The man turned, and he too was in shock at first at who he was seeing. "April? It can't be! But it is April!" Uncle Augie exclaimed happily and went to hug his niece.
"Uncle Augie!" April said. She and Don smiled at the knowledge that they had finally found her uncle. The redheaded man hugged April. "You're alright?"
"Better than ever, sweetie." he replied.
Then April turned to Don, "Uncle Augie, I want you to meet my friend, Donatello."
Don and Augie shook hands. "Donatello. I take it you're from another world in another dimension?" he asked the turtle, since he wasn't used to seeing a humanoid looking turtle.
"New York City, actually." Don replied.
"Magnificent! I should be surprised, actually." He took off his hat and rubbed his head. "But I'm more surprised to see my niece here. How did you get here? Why?" the man asked.
"We got your message." April said.
"My message?" Augie asked, not knowing what she meant.
"Your message. Your distress signal." Don clarified.
"Your call for help." April added. Augie put his hat back on.
"But things are perfectly fine here. I sent no call for help." Augie said.
Don took out his tech tab to show him. He took it and saw it. "Oh dear, the message. It was more of an announcement really. I was testing the transmitting systems. It still needs work as it didn't go through as I had intended it to." Augie admitted. "No. I don't need help. The people of this magnificent city want to help us." He walked over to the window.
"They call themselves the Brotherhood. They want to bring all their amazing technology and medical advancements to Earth. It will change the world." Augie spoke proudly.
"It is our custom. My people wish to spread peace and love, and understanding throughout the multiverse." The Counselor spoke up, "But now, we will take our leave and we will allow you to finish repairing the transport." He and his soldiers backed up to clear the room, "The sooner it is fixed, the sooner we can help the people of Earth." The lizards left finally.
Augie went on to explain, "Their transport artifact was broken when I arrived here. I managed to repair it, but I didn't have the coordinates to get home. But your arrival has left a dimensional wake, pinpointing Earth! Once I get it finished, the sooner we can bring Brotherhood advancements to Earth. It'll be glorious! A new era of peace, love, and understanding."
Don and April were a little concerned, but could understand his excitement for wanting to bring it all to their planet. April went up to him, "Uncle Augie, it sounds wonderful." she said.
"It sure does." Don said. "Do you think I could take a stroll around the city? I'd love to get a look at their advanced technology before we leave."
"Sure. The Brotherhood won't mind." Augie said.
"Just don't get in any trouble, Don." April warned.
"What, me? I'm the sensible turtle, remember?" Don remarked.
As Don walked around the city, he was amazed. "Uncle Augie's right. This place is incredible. A little quiet though." he admitted, making him a little uncomfortable about it. Then he heard a door open and a voice. He hid.
"It is all I can do to not bite their heads off!"
"Do not worry. The Counselor's plan is almost born fruit. Soon, we will all feed."
"And where is the Grand Counselor now?"
These were two lizard soldiers. Don was suspicious of their words and went to go find out what they meant. Were these lizards as friendly as they really claimed to be?
"He is in the Throne Room, making the final preparations."
Don followed the two to the throne room. He got up high to listen to their conversation.
The Counselor was eating some last remnants of meat off a bone as one of his soldiers paced in front of him, explaining, "Counselor, our food supplies are nearly exhausted. Soon, we will have nothing left to eat."
The Counselor finished gnawing on the bone, then replied, "Worry not. The old fool has nearly finished repairing the transport. Once it is operational, we can resume conquering new worlds. We will feed long and well. Starting with his precious Earth!" the lizard exclaimed happily.
Donny gasped. These lizards had fooled them all! Don had to hurry back and warn April and Augie of their impending doom.
Luckily, on his way back to his friends, he wasn't spotted. He got back to them safely. They were going over some notes on the table when he came in, saying, "Uh, remember how I promised to stay out of trouble? Well, we're in trouble. Big trouble! The Brotherhood is just using Uncle Augie so they get to Earth and, eat everyone!" Don exclaimed.
The two humans were shocked, but April believed him. She knew he wasn't known for making up jokes about something like that.
"What? But that's preposterous." Augie stated. "The Brotherhood wants to serve humanity." Augie just didn't know Donatello that well yet.
"Right. Medium rare, like in that Twilight Zone episode." Don said.
"Uncle Augie, if Don says something's going on, then something's going on. I'd stake my life on it." April agreed with Don.
"Yes, you will." The three of them gasped as the Counselor proclaimed. "The time for niceties is at an end! Seize them!" he ordered. Two lizard soldiers charged.
Don took off his bo and dropped his duffel bag. He went to fight them. "April, get your uncle out of here!"
"Run, Uncle Augie!" April urged. "But?" he questioned her. He thought he knew these lizards well enough by now. "RUN!" April pushed him hard. She then smashed the chair into the head of one of the soldiers that was after her.
"Excuse me, pardon me." Don said as he claimed his duffel bag and ran after them, knocking two more lizards aside. He was glad Randall wasn't with them. Who knows what he would think about them fighting lizards.
"Where are we going?" April asked.
"Follow me." Augie said. Don brought up the rear.
They got to a transport vehicle room. "Everyone, into that shuttle." Augie ordered. They climbed in and Augie got it going just as the lizards got in. The shuttle pulled out and zoomed across the city.
Soon, they came to a different part of the city and stopped there and got out. "I still don't understand any of this." Augie said.
"The Brotherhood was using you, Uncle Augie." April pointed out.
"I can't believe that. What are these?" he asked.
Don went to examine some round objects on the floor. "Huh? Magnetic." He picked one up, then threw it back down.
"Uncle Augie, what is this place?" April asked.
"The Brotherhood call this place the Forbidden Zone. No one is allowed here." Augie explained. "They told me it was strictly off limits."
Don looked to his right. "And I think I know why. I don't think they wanted you to see this. Look!" he pointed to some bones that were over a short distance away from where they were at, in a mass grave. They looked similar to human bones, but not quite.
They all gasped. "This can't be!" Augie still didn't want to believe it. "They said they wanted to help us." He backed away from the site, then backed into a button on a platform. A screen lit up.
Don and April came over to check it out as well. "Wait. I've seen these holographic stations all over town. Maybe it can shed some light on what happened here." Don suggested. He took out his tech tab and a wire. He hooked it up to the station. "I'll see if I can access the archives."
It brought up a human-like alien called a Zodac. Don skimmed through all their articles of history real fast to get to the last one. There, it showed the lizards attacking the Zodac people and why they had used some magnetic charges to stop their transport from being able to transport.
"So much for peace, love, and understanding." Don said.
"I so wanted it to be true." Augie walked away. Then he turned around and said angrily, "We must make sure the Brotherhood never reaches Earth! No matter what!"
Then there were some roars. The lizards had caught up with them! They almost didn't see a way out, until they backed onto the road. Don looked down and saw a way out.
Don grabbed April and jumped. "Come on! Follow me!" April screamed on the way down, but Don landed safely.
Augie was shocked. He didn't know if he could do that.
"Uncle Augie, jump!" April called up, but it was too late. He was grabbed and taken hostage.
April tried to help him, but Don stopped her. "No, April. They won't hurt him. They need him. You and I will be more useful to him if we're alive." he explained.
Augie was tied up hand and foot to some sticks and carried back to the Great Hall to work on the transport. The Counselor awaited them. "Good. Put him back to work. Soon, we will be feeding on the people of Earth! Ha, ha, ha!" The lizard licked his lips hungrily.
Don and April were trying to get back to the Great Hall. They noticed that the lizards were getting ready.
"They're massing their forces. Donny, what are we going to do?" April asked the turtle.
"Don't worry. I have an idea." Don replied. They both ran for it. It was starting to get dark out.
They got back to the Great Hall, where Uncle Augie was. He was back working again.
"Uncle Augie, you alright?" April asked.
"April! Thank heavens you're safe!" He jumped off the ladder and they hugged.
April separated from him, "We have to work quickly."
"I programmed the magnetic charges to my tech tab, and destroy the transport artifact. We'll finish the job the Zodacs started." Don exclaimed.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I fixed the transport, making it immune to magnetic overloads." Augie said.
Then, April had another idea, "Maybe we don't have to destroy this artifact." She walked over and began setting a different set of coordinates.
"April, what are you-?" Don questioned.
When it was set, the transport got them in its beam, and got them out of there. It proved it worked.
The lizards then ran in, looking for the intruders. The Counselor came in too, "As I feared, they've gone, using the transport. Assemble all the Brotherhood! We have new prey to hunt, and a new planet to conquer!"
In a temple in another dimension, Don, April, and Augie were dropped to the ground. They got up.
"There it is, just as we left it!" April remarked.
"April, tell me this isn't where I think it is." Don said.
April got to the artifact. "This artifact isn't shielded. Don, set the Zodac magnetic charges!"
Don ran up and set three charges on the artifact. He set the coordinates on his tech tab to get them out of there before they would go off, and once again, they were transported out.
Once they were gone, the charges went off.
Don had set the coordinates to take them back to April's shop. The three of them landed on the floor.
Randall sat up in bed in the basement, when he heard a loud thump on the floor above him. What was going on up there? It could mean someone had broken in.
Upstairs, they sat up. "Okay, April. What happened?" Don asked.
"Oh, we're just setting up a little surprise party. When the Counselor and the Brotherhood use their transport artifact thinking it leads straight to Earth…" April explained.
Don finished for her "…They're going to follow us to that other world."
The lizards arrived in the wasp world. "Spread out! Find them!" The Counselor ordered.
"And once they've realized they've made a terrible mistake…" April said.
"There will be no working transport artifact for them to escape through!" Augie seconded her.
The lizards looked around and realized their mistake. Giant bugs hatched out of pupas and looked ready to attack them.
The Counselor ran in fear to the other room. He saw the artifact was damaged. "No. The transport." Then he heard a scary sound.
The queen wasp came down from her rookery and stalked him. He was out of luck.
In the shop, Augie praised April, "My little April, you're an O'Neil alright, through and through!" He stood up. "And I'm finally home again, after all these years!" he said happily.
He and April embraced. Don smiled. He was happy for her that she now had her uncle back. He would be telling his brothers about this when he got home.
Then there was a sound coming from the basement. The door was opening.
"Don, you might want to relay Randall." April suggested. She wasn't sure letting Augie see Randall at the moment was a good idea, but she had a better idea.
"On it." Don said.
April led her uncle to the back steps. "Who's Randall?" Augie asked. "I'll tell you later." April said.
Don opened the door and stepped in the way, "Randall, what are you doing up?"
"I heard a thud up here. What's going on?" Randall demanded tiredly.
"Oh, nothing. April and I just rescued her uncle from another dimension." Don explained simply. He started to lead the lizard monster back down the stairs.
"Uh huh, sure." Randall scoffed.
"Yes, we did. Have I ever made up a story to you?" Don asked.
"No."
"April has an artifact that is not to be messed with. You don't want to end up in another world you're not familiar with that you can't escape from should there be trouble." Don explained.
"I know the feeling." Randall replied. He yawned.
Don helped him back to bed. He hoped telling him this would seem all like a bad dream. He helped him back to his room so he could go back to bed. He tucked Randall back in his bed. The lizard was asleep before he hit the pillow.
On the second floor, April burst into the living room with Augie right behind her. Robyn was sitting on the couch, watching TV. "Robyn! You're not going to believe who I found!" April declared happily.
"Easy there." Augie said.
Robyn got up and ran to embrace him. "Oh, Uncle Augie! But how?" she asked.
"It's a long story. With lots of peace, love, and understanding." Augie said. "It's so good to see you again."
In the basement, Don smiled. He was glad to be able to help April out and give her a member of her family back. He had also helped to keep Randall distracted. He went home happy.
It was only later on when Augie and April were alone down in the shop again that she told her uncle about the purple lizard that was living in her basement.
Augie was a little in shock to hear that, after what they had gone through with other lizards just a bit ago. He had trusted some and had been used.
"How do you know he's not using you too, April?" Augie asked.
"Because we've been through so much. Randall's actually helped me and Don's family. He's helped us when someone's been hurt or missing. Especially one of Don's brothers. He's protected my shop from robbers before. I can assure you, you can trust him. He's overcome a lot since we met him over a year ago." April explained. "He's in bed right now. He's been working hard down in the turtles' new home since their other home was destroyed by an enemy."
"Okay, if you trust him, April." Augie accepted her word. "Maybe I can meet him sometime."
"Randall can have a temper, and he can be standoffish at first, but he can be nice. He even offered me comfort in my time of need when I thought the turtles were gone." April said.
Augie trusted his niece and just wanted the best for her.
…..
After being gone for so long, if there was one thing he needed, it was a shower and a change of clothes. Robyn went out and got him some new clothes.
April had told Augie to not mention Don to her sister or other family members. He had promised. He wouldn't mention Randall either.
….
Later on, Augie did feel like he wanted to meet this Randall to just make sure that April was choosing to live with him wisely.
April led him downstairs. Robyn was asleep at the moment so it was a good time to do so. But then, Randall could be over at the turtles' lair too. Only one way to find out.
"Wait here until I tell you to come in, Uncle Augie. He can be rather protective of his home and who sees him." April said.
"Yes, April."
April went and knocked on Randall's door. There was what sounded like the TV was on in the room. The door opened. Randall stood there. "Yes?"
"Randall, Don might have told you earlier that him and I were on a little dimensional adventure."
"Yes, he did. You found your uncle." Randall replied.
"Well, Uncle Augie is a very respectable and understanding man. He wants to meet you, if it's okay with you?" April explained.
"Why?"
"To just see who you are." April said.
"Alright. I was just making myself some breakfast." Randall said and turned back.
"Come on, Uncle Augie. He says it's okay." April said. Her uncle walked forward. She had taken the body language from Randall it was fine to come in.
Augie smiled and walked forward. The two humans went into Randall's room, where he had opened up the microwave and shut it again, to keep it quiet as he met this new guest.
A middle aged man followed April into the room. His hair was more orange colored than April's, but he looked related.
"Hi, you must be Randall?" Augie said. He could see this lizard looked quite a bit different than the lizards he had been living with for so long. No clothes on, and he had double the limbs. Plus the coloring and his eyes were different too.
"Yes." Randall replied.
Augie came over to him and held out his hand. Randall was a little shy of a new adult human knowing about him, but he knew what he wanted. He hesitantly took the man's hand with his upper right hand.
"So, were you from another dimension too? I've never seen any lizard like you before." Augie asked.
"Well," Randall looked at April. She nodded. "I am from a different world, yes. But with some mishaps that occurred there, I am forevered banished from it. Living with your niece and her friends has given my life a meaning and a purpose. If it wasn't for them, I would probably be dead by now." Randall explained. He knew what not to reveal on the first meeting.
Augie could see this lizard was a far cry from the ones he had just gotten away from. "But what was your occupation? What interests do you have?" he asked the lizard.
April shook her head at him. "I do have interests in engineering, some math and science. I've even learned about some medical care as needed. And ninja training from Donatello's family for self defense. As for what my occupation was, let's say that I was good at what I did. It's not for me to reveal it. It's personal."
"I understand." Augie replied. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Randall. Maybe we can talk some more some other time?"
"Sure." Randall replied.
"We'll let you enjoy your breakfast, Randall. Thanks for meeting him." April declared.
"No problem."
Randall wasn't interested in following them. He let them go so he could get his eggs out of the microwave.
"So, what did you think of him?" April asked her uncle.
"He seems rather nice. A little hesitant maybe." Augie replied.
"He's been through a lot in the past months. Don's whole family was. Randall's like a brother to them. Don's family have recently lost a home to an enemy, and before that, Don's oldest brother, Leo, was going through a hard time after a traumatizing event. It was hard on all of us to see him go through it. But things are getting better for them with the new home they've found. Randall just also comes from a place that is just wary of humans." April explained. "His other world."
"I understand, April. No need to tell me anything more. But I hope we can get to know each other better. I think he seems trustworthy." Augie said. "He had a sincere look to his eyes."
"He has worked on it from when he first got here. He had to learn a lot to become what he is now." April explained. "And now, I don't think me or the guys want to part with him, for all he's done for us."
"He sounds like a good friend."
"He is." April declared.
….
Back at the lair, Donatello explained to his family where had been and that after all they had heard about April's uncle, he was now finally back.
Leo was a little nervous hearing about that her uncle had seen Don, but Don assured him that Uncle Augie was trustworthy. After all, he had been living with alien lizards for quite awhile. Leo calmed down.
"I'm sure we will want to meet him some day." Master Splinter said.
Leo would still be the most wary turtle until he knew humans could be fully trusted.
