When Kara arrived at the lair after wandering around the sewers for who knows how long, oh wait, she does: two hours! She felt like she needed to dive headfirst into sanitizer but was relieved when she finally found the entrance. Anyways, she noticed a girl sitting on the couch playing on her laptop. She gasped and ran over to her. "Hey! You're that girl I saw that one night! You're alright!" She said, beaming with delight, relieved to see she's ok. "What about the man that was with you?" She asked curiously but quickly regretted it as soon as she saw the pained look in her eyes.

"He is still being held hostage-he's my dad."

Deep in her mind Kara knew she wasn't the type to date older guys and high fived herself only to slap herself mentally for thinking such ways.

"My name's April. What's yours?"

"Kara. Nice to meet you." She shook her hand and gave her a gentle smile.

"So how do you know the guys?" April asked curiously so Kara sat down next to her, dropping her backpack she was carrying with her and began to explain the story from when she was helping them try and rescue her, waking up in a weird place and finding out her old teacher turned into a rat.

"I would say it's something out of a book, but I can't since its real." Kara said softly leaning back and staring up at the ceiling.

"Wow, that must have been hard for you." April said sympathetically and gently touched her shoulder.

"Yeah, but truth is, I don't mind it. I'm happy to finally see him again and his sons aren't that bad; they're pretty cool actually. Speaking of them...where are they?" She looked around curiously noticing it was just them. "I guess Master Splinter is meditating." She thought as she glanced down at her backpack but blinked hearing the boys enter and grinned.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Kara stood up and waved at them, Mikey jumping over everything and everyone to hug her while lifting her off the ground. "Hiya Mikey!" She hugs back but noticed there were a few bruises on him. "Guess they were attacked Oh! Hey! You promised you would tell me what happened when I got home. Did ya'll kick butt?"

Mikey sat her down and began to tell the story, using a lot of hand gestures and sounds till Raph interrupted him when he told his part. Kara's mouth dropped in awe at the story. "Wow! That must of been some adventure! Wish I could of joined." She leaned back into the couch, crossing one leg over the other and looked over seeing Master Splinter leaving the kitchen. She quickly got up, grabbing her backpack and ran over to him. "Master Splinter! C-Can I talk to you for a bit?" She glanced over at the boys noticing they were staring at them. "In private?" She blushed, clenching the strap of her backpack.

He looked down at her then to his boys as they resumed whatever they were doing as if they weren't watching and nodded, leading her into the Dojo with his hand on her back.

After he closed the door and sat down she followed suit, setting the backpack in front of her, her face turning pink. Luckily her cap flap covered her eyes or she wouldn't have been able to look at him, "When I was little..o-on my birthday, the day you disappeared, I wanted to give you something-something that reminded me of you." She opened the backpack and took out a Yoshi from Super Mario's plush toy out and set it in front of him. "I-It's name is Yoshi...when I heard the name, I immediately thought of you and wanted to give it to you...so that you would never forget me.." She kept her head down as he stared at the toy in surprise and grabbed and examine it. Seeing a press here button on its arm he pushed it, hearing it go, "Yoshi" in a cute voice. He smiled gently at the toy and placed his hand on her head. "I will cherish it forever, my dear. Thank you." She looked up at him and smiled, hugging him and gave a gentle squeeze before letting go. When he let go however, he moved his arm to where he took her cap off and smiled. "You will not need to hide your true self. You are among friends." He gave her the cap back and smiled back before putting it in her backpack.

"It's going to be weird but I'll do it." She stood up and bowed before walking back out to the living room seeing Mikey nomming on his magazine and kicking his feet like a schoolgirl with a crush.

"Mikey, you already have a human friend. Me." April smiled to him but he shook his head, going back to his magazine. "April, you don't count. We saved you. You have to like us."

Kara crossed her arms not liking that comment and did a run jump landing on the other side of couch, behind Mikey and caught him in a headlock. "Aw, that's not very nice. What about me, Mikey?" She grinned as his eyes popped out and his tongue stuck out, reminding her of one of those stress relief dolls. "No wonder Raph does this a lot." She giggled before letting him go.

"You know Master Splinter. Same goes for you." He said in a hoarse voice.

She gave him a stern look causing him to look away and back at his magazine. "That's right buddy, look away. You know what you did."

"Too bad there's no place for freaks to meet people and see how hideous they are." Kara looked over at Raph doing pushups with his sais and walked over to him, sitting down on his shell. "What the, hey!"

"What? Too heavy for ya?" She grinned, looking down at him with a challenging look which he responded with a grin of his own before continuing on.

"Wait, there is: the internet. Donnie, can I see your laptop?" April asked, looking over at him.

Kara saw Donnie doing last minute things. She sighed softly her gut feeling telling her Donnie had a thing for her, especially when Mikey and Raph would pick on him at the mention of her name. For some reason she felt a twinge in her heart but shooed it away and watched as April explained this chatting website to Mikey he taking, well, pushed her out of the way to get to the laptop and started typing fast. He gasped and rubbed the sides of the top. "Oh, Chris Bradford's on here. He'll be my first friend!" He typed fast once more and pushed enter before slowly moving closer to the screen in anticipation.

"Mikey. People don't always respond immedi-" There was a ding to prove her wrong and Kara couldn't help but chuckle. "Sometimes they do."

"No way. Chris Bradford has accepted my friendship! I have a friend!" He hugs April making Donnie's eyes widen in jealously before Mikey tosses the laptop away and hops over the couch heading to the exit. She watches him and looks back at Donnie diving for his laptop making her smile. "He's such a dork yet adorable...adorkable? Yeah, we'll go with that." She giggles more before jumping off Raph and gave him a thumbs up knowing she isn't the lightest person in the world. "Nice job, hulk." He smiled at her before resuming while she went up to Mikey. "I'll go with you. It'll be nice to see a superstar in karate." As they were leaving, she could hear them conversing about following them and sighed before yelling to Mikey to wait up.

Once more she had to ride on his back since she still didn't know how to parkour but that didn't stop him. She noticed Chris Bradford was locking up his dojo and leaving. Mikey giggled with excitement as he dropped behind him and waved trying to introduce himself. Kara gasped when he started attacking them. She put her hood over her head and jumped off Mikey. "Wait! We're not here to hurt you! We're friends!"

Now that she's got a good look at him, he reminded her of Chuck Norris. "But he's way cooler though." She nodded in approval of her own thought.

He stopped, looking at him in surprise. "What?!"

"Yeah!" Mikey said "We're online friends. You accepted me, remember?"

"Oh...of course." A small grin appeared on his face as he stood up, holding his hand out. "Nice to meet you."

Mikey stared at his hand; eyes wide in awe as he started shaking his hand with both of his.

Kara pushed him aside and shook his as well. "I'm Kara. It's nice to meet you as well. I'm a big fan as well as Mikey."

He nodded, not seeming to care but smiled. "Won't you two come in?" She nodded and took Mikey's hand as he led her into the dojo, whispering for him not to say a word about her but he was too excited about meeting Chris Bradford to hear.

-Next Night-

Master Splinter allowed her to go with the guys on patrol the next night they training her how to jump buildings; starting out with the ones that weren't too far apart and caught her each time she would land right on the ledge and start losing her balance or fail miserably and miss all together. It was thrilling yet scary at the same time, but she enjoyed spending time with them. She sat with Raph and Mikey as Leo and Donnie were going over the scene they "kicked butt" at. She found herself staring at Donnie while Mikey went over everything they did with Chris Bradford not paying attention because she lived it though something felt off about him. She blinked back to reality seeing Mikey putting his arms over his brother's shoulders. "I've got two other brothers that do."

"Actually, I'd rather talk about anything else." Leo said.

"Like the concept of the silent 'W' perhaps?" Donnie pointed out which made her giggle. He looked over at her and blushed, rubbing the back of his head.

"Fine, heh. I'll go talk to someone who likes to talk about Chris Bradford more than anything. Chris Bradford. You coming, Kara?"

She stood up and stretched. "Yeah, I guess." She followed after him and hopped on his back and looked back at the other brothers and stuck her tongue out before winking at them just as Mikey jumped down the building, Donnie and Leo blushing.

When they entered the dojo, she noticed he was in the middle of training and went to whisper in Mikey's ear that they should leave him be but saw he was already talking to him. She sighed and walked up as Chuck-Chris was calling Mikey all these nicknames. She slowly walked up to them, reaching her hand out as if she was looking for something. Mikey talked back with one nickname when she felt his shoulder before standing beside him. "I'll have to work on your nickname. Ooh! Radbrad!"

"You know, I was just thinking how we're such close friends, yet I know so little about you."

"You think we're close friends?!" Mikey exclaimed with excitement up at him.

She couldn't help but smile thinking he was acting like a child in front of a candy store, yet she still couldn't shake that feeling that something was off about him. For Mikey's sake, she hopes that she is wrong.

"Of course. Now tell me everything about you." Bradford said with a smile.

Mikey looked down in thought. "Well, where should I start? Oh! I named all six of my toes!" He lifted his foot, wiggling them-and this is where she decided to block out the conversation. Luckily it didn't last long for when she heard pizza she began listening again. She turned her head seeing Mikey hugging Chu-Chris. "Woah. We have so much in common." She could see he was clearly uncomfortable and that made her grin.

Kara was too busy munching on pizza to hear Mikey describing the scenery and pizza. That's the only word she liked right now; and it was Pepperoni! She glanced over at Mikey as he was talking about his brothers and feeling as if they don't respect him enough. She lowered her slice and felt sorry for him knowing that she could see that from time to time but overall saw that they cared. She blinked, hearing Chris, ha, say "Can't imagine why." under his breath with a hint of sarcasm making her glare in his direction under her hood.

She sat down on the other side of the dojo while Mikey started touching and playing with Chris' katana. It was quite beautiful, but it also looked like an antique. "Yes, it's over 400 years old." She heard Chris say while trying to get the katana from Mikey. "That explains it." She noticed he kept prying into Mikey's business, especially about Master Splinter and started growing suspicious but luckily Mikey turned it around to make him show him his secret move. She didn't know whether he was smart or just that naive, but she shrugged it off, not wanting Mikey to change himself.

Of course, being Mikey, he shows off the move even though he promised not to. "That's Mikey for you." She laughed as she heard him demonstrate it to his brothers. Donnie and Leo excited about it while Raph didn't seem interested but she had a feeling he was.

"That was amazing" Leo said with a huge smile on his face and looked to Donnie. "Yeah, its devastatingly effective yet complex."

"Yet even Mikey could learn it." Raph said next.

She laughed more at the brothers before hearing Donnie's computer ding. She glanced over seeing it was Radbrad messaging Mikey but before she could speak Mikey pushes her out of the way, knocking her to the ground and glares at him but looks up seeing Donnie holding his hand out to her. She smiles and takes it, blinking it in surprise when she felt a spark between their hands. She looks at their hands for a sec then up at him as he lifts her to her feet. "Thanks." She lets go as they blush both of them avoiding eye contact. She glances at him wondering if he felt it too but looked down knowing she couldn't compete with April. She looked up, her eyes widened a bit. "Wait, why would I want to compete with her? I can't like him...can I?..Never had a crush before...these feelings are new...make them go away!" She looks down angrily at the floor causing Donnie to raise a brow at her. "Uh, is everything ok?" She blinks, turning her head to look at him and quickly nod, pressing her lips together.

"Radbrad wants to get together for a little B-Ball. Can't wait to find out what the B stands for!" He types hurriedly and licks his finger before pushing enter.

"Hope Donnie sanitizes that thing. Hey, wait for me!" She yells, following after Mikey and hopping on his back as if it was normal. "We'll be back guys!"

-With the Guys-

While his brothers practiced the Kata Donnie couldn't help but think about Kara. He looked down at his hand still feeling that zap when they made contact. A small smile crept on his face remembering her blushed face and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking it was cute, specially how it made her unique eyes stand out more. He was snapped out his thoughts though hearing their Sensei, "Where did you learn that?!" His voice was filled with anger, which surprised his brothers and him.

"Mikey learned it from his new friend." Leo started as he helped Raph to his feet.

"The man who taught him that Kata is no friend. It comes from the Shredder."

"Shredder?" Donnie questioned as he looked to Leo who looked back at him then to Splinter. "You mean Bradford is one of his students?"

"He must be." Splinter said with certainty.

"So, Bradford was just pretending to be Mikey's friend to get to you." Leo said, pointing at his Sensei.

Raph smiled, with a look of relief on his face while touching the top of his head. "Oh, what a relief. Everything makes sense again." But then a look of realization hit him. "Mikey's in trouble!"

Donnie's face had a look of horror on it. "So is Kara..."

She followed Mikey to the top of his dojo where they would always meet him and noticed it was dark. While Mikey called out to him, she looked around curiously. "He's not here. Are you sure he said to meet here?" She stopped and heard a creak before turning around, seeing a guy in armor. "Who's that?!" Kara shouted, backing up with Mikey but stopped, bumping into something and looked up seeing a black guy with an afro dressed like a biker. She gasped and moved so that Mikey was behind her. "Stay away! Don't make me hurt you!"

Mikey moved beside her, pointing at the masked guy. "Tell me what you did with Chris or you're in serious-" Both men started attacking Mikey and she glared, going into the fight, doing a roundhouse kick at the afro biker but he dodged and backed away while Mikey fought the other guy. She noticed he mainly used his legs and knew she was at a disadvantage but managed to get a few good hits and grinned. She looked back to see how Mikey was doing but gasped seeing it was Chris under the mask. "I knew something was wrong about him! Can't think of that now, gotta help Mikey." The guy grinned seeing she was distracted and used the opportunity to kick her next to Mikey. She fell to her knees and groaned. "What're those, steel toe boots?" He chuckled as they cornered them, Mikey still shocked at the situation

"I thought we were friends. I introduced you to all of my toes." She was tied next to Mikey, closing her eyes hearing the hurt in his voice as they hog tied him. Luckily, they only tied her arms to her sides and feet so she was sitting with her legs out.

Chris chuckled and looked down at him. "You actually thought someone like me could be friends with a freak like you? Pathetic."

She growled under her breath at Chris. "Forget him! Chuck Norris is way cooler and awesomer than you!"

"I say we get rid of him." The afro biker said while looking over to the katana.

She glared; her eyes now uncovered but luckily her purple eye was still covered falling on top of Mikey protectively. "Touch him and you'll regret it." She said in a low, angry tone.

"Big words coming from such a pretty mouth." He bent over grabbing her chin, pulling her closer to him with a grin on his face. She growled and wiggled out of his grip going to bite his hand only for him to let go and step back.

When she looked back at him, she couldn't help thinking he had a sexy voice but mentally punched herself. "What're you thinking?! He's the bad guy don't go complimenting him!...but it's just his voice! I'll deal with you later!"

"Nothing would make me happier. But we need him, all part of the trap." They walked away from them, she looking down at Mikey, sighing softly.

"I'm sorry Mikey. I knew something was off about him...Sorry your first experience with a human wasn't the greatest.." She leaned against his shell in deep thought but blinked, looking down at Mikey as he spoke. "It's not your fault. It's what I get for thinking a human could be friends with me..."

"For what it's worth, I wouldn't trade you for a million Chris Bradfords."

He looked up at her and smiled. "Thanks."

"Besides, Chuck Norris is waay better than him." She said bluntly, staring off in the dark

She was making faces at the ninjas not noticing the brothers were above them till she saw one disappear. She grinned and stopped, waiting patiently til they were all dispersed but jumped in surprise as Mikey shouted. "Dudes! That was sporadic!"

They all shushed him, including Kara while Donnie being the genius, "That's not what that means."

When Leo set them free Donnie helped her to her feet while Leo pet his youngest sibling on the head and they all disappeared into the sewers not realizing they were being watched escaping.

-In the Sewers-

While Kara hid in the shadows, out of sight the guys waited for them to show, knowing they were going to follow, said Leo to her so she waited and no sooner than she waited, she could hear them walking in the water. She grinned, watching with anticipation on their revenge for hurting their brother and she wasn't disappointed. The look on their faces when they saw their followers dangling on the ceiling, Gasp! Priceless.

When afro biker yelled. "Show your faces!" She knew that things were about to go down. She watched, goosebumps forming on her arms, as Leo and Raph emerged from the water, their eyes completely white, stepping on to land to face them. It was like she was watching a live action movie. She bit her lip to keep herself from yelling in excitement as the fighting soon commenced.

Each group faced an opponent, Leo and Raph against Chris Bradford, Donnie and Mikey against Afro Biker. It looked like they were having trouble fighting their guys but that was the whole plan. As soon as Donnie snapped his fingers, they switched opponents like a magic trick. She tried not to blink but even then she couldn't see how they did it; it was that awesome! They began to have the upper hand while Mikey and Donnie brought Brad to his knees and punched him in the face while Leo and Raph team worked against the afro biker and kicked him to the center where there was a large sewer opening, larger than the others.

"They knew we were following them!" Bradford shouted in surprise.

"That's right." Mikey said, glaring at Brad.

He glared back and went to punch him but Mikey used the Death Dragon move on him and his brothers sent them down the sewers with raw sewage.

Kara popped out and pointed a finger at them while laughing. "That's what you get wanna-be Norris and Afro Biker! Woo! You guys were amazing! That was ridiculous! The way you guys came out of the water! Oh! Oh! The switching of opponents?! That was amazing!"

They all laughed at her. "High three!" Mikey shouted and they all high three'd themselves, Kara joining in with her own high five.

Kara sat with Mikey as he stared at Brad's online profile while Donnie and the others conversed with Master Splinter. She was listening in on the conversation and knew she had to get stronger in order to help them. She looked up seeing Raph walking over to them and smiled before leaving them be, thinking they were going to talk. "I should be heading home guys. It was nice to see you in action, that was awesome." She smiles as Leo and Donnie blush, rubbing the back of their heads. She glanced over at Mikey and smiled, having an idea, then looked up at Master Splinter. "If it's ok with you, Master, could Mikey take me home? I want to show him something."

He rubs his beard in thought but nods. "You may, but make it quick, it is almost morning."

She nods and bows her head. "Thank you, Master." She grabs her backpack, putting it over her shoulders and motions for him to follow her. He blinks confused but follows while Donnie and Leo have a jealous look on their face, Raph chuckling at them.

She rode on his back on the way home. "So, uh..where are we going?"

She sighed softly, remembering his hurt look and pained voice at being betrayed and snapped out of it, looking down at his head. "It's a surprise."

They soon arrived at her penthouse apartment in the hotel and here's a detailed description of it: They could see the living room that had a wide, circular couch and a large, flatscreen TV. In the corner near the door was the kitchen. It was small but it had the essentials like a stove, sink, dishwasher, and fridge with a pantry, a bar and stools. There were three doors which lead to two bedrooms, the master and guestroom. The master bedroom being hers and a large bathroom with a separate shower and jacuzzi bathtub, with a toilet and sink of course.

She hopped down his back and into her home through the balcony window and smiled, her arms open wide. "Welcome to my home. I have every single game system and video game, that I like. You're more than welcome to come and visit whenever you like buut! On one, well, two conditions. One: Every time you visit, you must take a bath so no one can smell the sewers when you visit and two: If your brothers ask where you are you have to tell them. They are welcome to visit too." She watched his face turn to pure awe at the place and she sighed softly. "I know you were excited about Chris being your friend and well..I hope this-" She was cut off by Mikey grabbing her into a hug and lifting her up, squeezing her tightly. "This place is awesome! Thank you! I'll visit whenever I can! You're awesome!" He dropped her as she gasped for air, forgetting how strong he is as he looks at all the games and consoles. She looked out the window seeing the sky brighten and grabbed his shoulder.

"You need to head home before Master Splinter worries. Don't worry, everything will still be here when you come back."

He didn't want to leave but knew he had to, hopping on to the balcony railing and looks back at her waving goodbye before jumping down.

She closes the window and sighs before turning the lights off and falling onto the couch, passing out right there. Guess the day took more out of her than she thought.
