Kara was at the hospital for a checkup.
Due to not only her parent's influence but having a personal relationship with her doctor, who had been her personal doctor from a young age, Jessica Rodriguez transferred to New York to continue being Kara's doctor. This made Kara's heart glow and make her feel the love and care that she shared with her doctor...but right now, she hated her guts. Sitting on the patient table getting poked and touched with cold, metal instruments. "Do we have to do this every time I come see you?" Kara groaned as Jessica stuck the tongue compressor on her tongue, staring inside her mouth.
Jessica's brown eyes narrowed behind her glasses, leaning her head up slightly to try and look down her throat, "Well, this is a checkup. I promised your parents I would look after you and profession comes before play." She tossed the tongue compressor away and started writing down in her log. "You've lost quite a few pounds since I last saw you." She said but then looked at her with a playful smile, "But you managed to gain them back. Nice." She chuckled as Kara puffed her cheeks at her, crossing her arms. "My love of food shouts louder than my need to 'stay fit'. Besides I work out and eat right so I'm still healthy regardless." She hopped off the seat and took Jessica's rollie chair, spinning around. "Whatcha been up to?" Kara asks trying to make a conversation while waiting for her to clock out to lunch so they could hang out glancing up at her certificates in both the medical and surgical fields.
"Nothing out of the ordinary but work." Jessica said in a bored tone before lifting her glasses on her forehead and yawning. "You don't get much of a social life working in this type of field." She put her clipboard on the table before laying down on the patient table letting Kara play with her tools, letting her brown hair loose from its tight bun, letting it fall freely to the middle of her back. "What about you?" Jessica asked while watching Kara play with her stethoscope. Kara thought back to first meeting the turtles and all the adventures with them giving her a smile, shrugging her shoulders. "Oh, you know, the usual." She blinked hearing her phone go off and read a text from Leo asking her to come down to the lair. "Uh, I gotta go. My friend, April...got her heart broken.." She said trying to think of something to say without giving away anything.
Luckily, Jessica didn't say anything and stood up, tapping her glasses making them drop back on to her nose and putting her hair back in to a bun. "That's fine, we can have lunch another time. Go take care of your friend." She smiled kindly before giving her a hug. "Oh, before you go, don't forget next week you need to get your vaccination shots." Kara froze, hearing the word 'shot' and turned to her seeing Jessica with a wide grin on her face.
"You're loving this aren't you?" Kara puffed her cheeks this making Jessica laugh and shooed her away before going back to work.
"I am being hunted...by a giant..pigeon!" April said fearfully while grabbing onto Donnie's shoulders.
Raph started laughing but stopped seeing everyone was glaring at him. "I can't be the only one who finds that funny."
"Actually, it is pretty funny..but I'll laugh about that later." Kara thought looking over hearing Donnie say something about a creature hurting April. She smiled some not hearing him say "My April" and felt giddy on the inside.
"This is serious. I better get Splinter." Mikey said while holding an egg.
"What's he gonna do with-holy cow! What the! Where did Mikey go?!" Her eyes widened when he disappeared in a purple smoke, Master Splinter appearing before them.
"Michelangelo said you wanted to see me?" He asked while looking down at April.
"Awesome, right?" Mikey said now standing beside Kara making her jump back in surprise.
"Woah! What was that?!" She asked in awe and excitement.
"Smoke bombs, bra." He said handing her one. "Donnie made them, aren't they awesome?!"
She took one and threw it down she disappearing in the smoke, reappearing beside April. "Coool..." She said her eyes wide in awe.
"-And he would have torn me to pieces...if he didn't slam into the glass." April finished her story, hugging herself.
Kara felt bad for her, despite it being a pigeon, placing her hand on her shoulder before glaring over at Raph who was laughing again.
"Seriously? Just me." He said going back to his comic before Master Splinter hit him with his jade walking stick.
"Raphael! Clearly April is upset."
"Yeah dude, that's so insensitive. Do you need a tissue?" Mikey asked April but before she could answer he held out the smoke bomb and threw it, disappearing only to come back a second later and looked at her. empty-handed, "We don't have any tissues. Can I make you some soup?" He asked lifting the egg to throw but Donnie took the egg telling him to stop.
"Don't worry April. We won't let anything happen to you."
"That's right. We're going to set a trap for this pigeon man and make sure he never bothers you again." Leo said, smiling reassuringly at her.
Donnie nodded and looked at her, "And I know what we could use for bait."
"Breadcrumbs!" Mikey said sliding beside his brothers. "Pigeons eat breadcrumbs." He said questionably making Donnie look at him, "I meant April."
Mikey stood in front of April, his arms out protectively. "You're gonna let him eat April?! I thought you liked her!"
"Yeah!" April added in making Kara sigh. "Come on. Have a little faith in your friends. We haven't done anything that would put you in immediate danger, right?"
Donnie smiled and nodded. "Don't sweat it. We got your back." He said with a wink, pointing his index finger at her.
"Alright mighty mutants, let's do this." Leo said, popping his knuckles.
"Mighty Mutants? What, dancing dorks was already taken?" Raph said to his brother making Kara laugh at him before following after them to head to the surface.
"Wait. We do not yet know what we're facing. Perhaps you should study your enemy before confronting him." Master Splinter said wisely, having a feeling that his sons were getting carried away.
"With all due respect, Sensei; it's a pigeon." Leo said smiling.
"What you know is dangerous to your enemy. What you think you know is dangerous to you." Splinter said, poking his walking stick at Leo for emphasis. "I fear you are all becoming overconfident."
Kara looked at him with concern knowing he was usually...always right about these things and felt her gut was telling her something bad was going to happen and it made her nervous. Out of habit she placed her hands in her pocket feeling the taser and pepperspray it giving her some comfort but then reached into her pants pocket taking out the gloves. Just in case she put them on and followed behind the guys before looking back at Splinter giving him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry Master. I'll look after them." He gave her a small smile and watched her leave.
Kara was on the rooftop looking down boredly at April who was talking out loud about being helpless and alone. She sighed in annoyance having been up there for two hours following behind her and seeing nothing. "Things have better get cracking soon or I might go insane." She looked down at her stomach, barely listening to April and guys, patting it as it growled. "Don't worry mister tummy, we'll get you some food soon." She looked up quickly hearing the sound of a pigeon call with the hint of a human voice and saw it diving for April. As she shouted for her to watch out the guys were already on it, Donnie zapping the thing with his homemade taser and the rest pinning the guy to the ground. She sighed in relief knowing they were on it and started climbing down the fire exit hopping down the last step and ran over to them.
"Actually, I started out as a pigeon." The pigeon man named Pete said.
"Told you breadcrumbs would of worked." Mikey said with his arms crossed.
"You've got breadcrumbs?!" Pete asked while picking up Mikey to find them ending up turning him upside down to make him drop them.
Kara was standing watch at the corner of the alley to make sure they weren't spotted barely able to make out what they were saying.
"We have got to get you out of the city." Donnie said worriedly while putting his hand on April's shoulder but she stepped back, glaring at him. "I'm not going anywhere without my dad." She said crossing her arms.
"But you heard him. Something terrible is going to happen."
"Then we better hurry."
Kara watched them and clenched her fists, the feeling coming back but it was worse than before. She looked off into the distance clenching her pepperspray and taser in her pocket. "Oh...I hope I'm wrong.." She whispers before going to join them seeing them leaving.
After April failed to argue with the guys about joining them Kara decided to stay with her to keep her company. She sighed knowing deep down she still wasn't ready to face alien robots with her skills just yet.
Thirty minutes later she blinked hearing sirens go off inside the building and sighed. "Mikey.." She looked through the hole they came in to and Kara could see lasers flying everywhere and knew they were almost finished. She heard a pigeon call and blinked looking around wondering where it came from.
"What're you doing? April! Throw the rope!" Kara heard Raph shout and grabbed the rope throwing it down while April saw her dad and felt relief and joy to see him again. She smiled for April but looked back seeing her dad grab one of their guns and talk with the guys about saving his daughter. The guys started climbing the rope one by one while he stayed behind to give them cover. Holding April back from going in after him she hugged her while April cried in her shoulder. "I'm sorry..." Kara said hugging her tightly wishing she could do something to help.
"We'll get him back April...I promise." Hearing Donnie she looked up as he placed his hand on April's shoulder then looked at her with sadness. She looked down at April before looking back at him with a determined look. "Come on, let's go." She let go of April and followed after them, jumping over the side of the building as they explained what they saw inside about the bomb.
While the guys took care of the Kraang Kara stayed low and went for the bomb. Taking the cover off she stared at it, her mind going completely blank.
Donnie gently moved her out of the way and had the same look on his face.
"You said you knew how to do this."
"I didn't count on a design this complex, Leo!"
"They're aliens from another dimension! What're did you expect? A round bomb with a lit fuse that said "Bomb"?!"
"No! But this is-" Donnie was cut off as Raph pushed Leo out of the way looking to Donnie with anger. "Boy, I hope this argument goes on for another 4 minutes and 15 seconds!" He said whacking Donnie upside the head.
While Donnie stared intensely at the bomb Kara decide to look out in case anymore Kraang showed up. She gasped hearing that all too familiar sexy yet disgusting voice. "We meet again, pretty lady." She looked to her left seeing Xever along with Chris.
Just as she heard Donnie yelling, "I cannot work with all this pressure!" she was kicked back, flying past the brothers. Leo gasped and looked over to Kara seeing her stand up then back to Donnie. "Um..that might be a problem."
Kara helped the guys out with Xever and Chris while Donnie stayed behind to work on the bomb. Doing punching combos on Chris, who went to attack but she bent backwards just as Mikey kicked his foot into Bradford's face and she spun her leg, kicking him under his feet and forcing him on to his back. She raised her leg above him and brought it down but he blocked with his arms and grabbed her foot, tossing her aside.
"You guy picked a really bad time for this!" Leo said while blocking one of Xever's kick as he jumped backwards.
"Oh, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Xever said sarcastically. "When would you prefer to breathe your last breath?" He jumped up sending another kick Leo's way who blocked with his sword. "If that thing goes off it'll wipe us all out!"
"I'd rather perish with honor than live in shame!" Chris yelled as Kara jumped over Raph's shell and slammed her fist into his face. For some reason, what he said really ticked her off.
Raph grinned her way then looked over to Donnie. "Would you hurry it up?! We're dealing with a bunch of nutjobs here!"
"Be quiet!" Donnie yelled his way before returning to the bomb.
Kara teamed up with Raph while Leo and Mikey teamed against Xever, she reaching for her taser but gasped as Chris tossed Raph into her and fell over with a grunt. "Ugh..I'm gonna feel that in the morning." She groaned before Raph helped her up but ducked when Xever flew at them feet first. She could feel him staring at her with her back turned and quickly spun around, punching him away but he caught himself doing a handstand and began kicking down at her with his feet, Raph jumping in to help her. She glanced back at Donnie hearing him mumbling about only two wires and heard Mikey yell. "Go for the green!" before Chris punched him.
After what seemed like hours, he finally cut the wire and jumped up. "Guys! Mikey, was actually right about something!" He yelled, smiling before joining in on the fight.
She watched, amazed, at him getting into the action and thought he was pretty cool.
Xever and Chris were back to back, clearly surrounded.
"You are worthy adversaries, but the fight is ours. Lay down your weapons." Leo said actually sounding cool for once.
"Never!" Xever said anger filling his voice.
"You don't have a choice. You lost."
Chris grinned at Leo, holding his sword up. "If I'm going down...I'm taking you with me." He said just as he stabbed the contraption containing the Mutagen.
Her eyes widened while Donnie pulled her back as a river of mutagen flowed out, taking Xever and Chris down. She watched them while holding onto Donnie raising a brow at the irony of them always being taken down by some form of liquid after getting defeated. She let go of him once the mutagen was gone and jumped down after the others noticing the lights on the contraption turned off.
"So, to sum up we kicked the butts of the Kraang and Shredder's top henchmen while defusing a bomb and saving the city." Leo said with a smile, Raph joining in. "We're not overconfident."
"We're just that good." Leo finished before the guys whooped with excitement, high threeing themselves.
Kara looked down where their enemies fell seeing nothing but darkness. She clenched her fists the feeling coming back to the point it was driving her crazy. "It's not over.." She whispered.
"Your skills are impressive..."
She froze, feeling a sudden chill go down her spine, slowly turning around to see who it was.
A man stood before them with sharp, silver armor that had knives on the gauntlets. The guys stood there shocked as he stared coldly down at them. "But they will not save you."
"Oh man...do you think that's..The Shredder?" Donnie said his voice cracking some.
"Well, it's definitely A Shredder." Raph said looking at his brother then back at Shredder who was walking towards them.
"There is undoubtably a fascinating story of how my old nemesis came to train the art of ninjitsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it."
"You're gonna have to catch us first! Mikey!" Leo said as Mikey grinned at him, raising one of the smoke bombs. "So long, sucka!" He yelled as he threw it, but instead of an explosion of smoke clouds they heard a splat; looking down to see a normal egg. "Whoops..alright, that ones on me.."
Just as Shredder charged Raph yelled and ran at him, sais out, the second part of their battle commencing.
The brothers were struggling with Shredder and all Kara could do was watch in horror seeing her friends getting beat up, her body trembling and not responding to her thoughts. "I..I..I have to help them...why won't my feet move?!" Watching Shredder's movements they were not like anything she had ever seen; they were vicious and bloodthirsty yet patient and precise. She gasped, smiling some seeing Mikey getting the upper hand by entrapping Shredder by wrapping his chains around his arm and lifting him off the ground but her smile fell, her eyes widening in shock when Shredder freed himself by cutting not only the chain but the billboard as well, a piece falling on top of him. Her blood began to boil as Shredder stalked up to them while they had their backs turned trying to free their brother, ready to kill them. Her eyes snapped in anger, clenching her fists tight. "Move. MOVE NOW!"
Just as the Shredder raised his weapon he yelled in pain as electricity surged through him five times deadly than normal due to his armor and Kara put away her taser, standing between the Shredder and the turtles, "I won't let you hurt them anymore!" She yelled while running at him and began to fight him off using his surprise to her advantage. Punching his chest plate making dents in it with her gloves he stumbles backwards before retaliating with his own attacks, she holding her arms up in defense at his onslaught of attacks that were mainly to her face and chest area. She closed her eyes for a moment and just when he was about to attack once more she slid towards him, not only dodging his attack but closing the gap between them landing a blow to his lower stomach, using what strength she had to make him feel the force of her blows. He kneed her in the stomach causing her to stumble back a bit and punched her square in the face. She began to fall backwards, squeezing her eyes in pain till they shot open and ran at him, jumping to his level, grabbing his head and headbutted him in the forehead taking more damage than him due to his helmet but she didn't care her fighting instincts were on and she had to keep his attention on her till her friends could escape safely unaware they were watching awestruck at her skills. Shredder grabbed her from the back of her shirt and threw her in the direction of the turtles, but she quickly caught herself, sliding to a halt with her hands and feet, the skin on her fingers scrapping against the cement roof and she pushed herself back into the fight with full force, letting out a cry of anger, her fist raised for an attack. Shredder, getting frustrated from the fight, yelled in anger and punched her in the gut but not without releasing his knives into her, they stabbing through her stomach. Her eyes widened, feeling the pain as he lifted her off the ground but was unable to make a sound, the voice lost at the shock of what had happened.
The guys yelled out her name as they rushed towards Shredder, screaming their battle cries.
She slowly reached into her pocket, taking out the pepperspray and used it on him making him yell in pain before throwing her to the ground, the guys hearing a disturbing crack as she landed on her side, now motionless.
Holding his eyes in pain the guys took this opportunity and grabbed Kara fleeing just as Xever and Chris reached out begging for Shredder to help them. When his vision finally cleared, he yelled in anger for they got away.
Donnie was holding Kara close as they fled fearing for her life and for the first time not knowing what to do. He was in tears staring down at her motionless body. "We need to get her to a hospital!" Leo said with his brothers beside him.
Kara slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she felt was pain, letting out a painful scream, looking down and seeing blood rushing out from her wounds. "M...m-my phone...I need...my phone." She said her voice cracked and trembling while reaching for it but screamed again feeling pain rush through her arm. "J-Jessica..I-I need..Jessica..." She said her voice lowering and her eyelids feeling heavy, the last thing to see being Donnie's frightened face before losing consciousness.
