This chapter will be focused more on Kara but don't worry, you'll see the turtles every now and then I mean come on, it's a turtle fanfic. They have to be present lol. Ahem, on with the story!

It was night time in the Big Apple, a fog had rolled in which gave the turtle brothers perfect cover for their patrol with Kara right behind them her gloves on and ready. They snuck behind a large dumpster while Leo poked his head out to see if the coast is clear.

"Shredder could be anywhere. Stay frosty guys." Leo said in a low whisper.

"FYI, frost can't accumulate unless its below freezing in which.." Kara zoned Donnie out, shaking her head as his geekiness emerges.

"Maybe he's got an off switch somewhere." Mikey whispered to both her and Raph who nodded and smacked Donnie upside the head.

"Found it." He said with a smile making Mikey and Kara chuckle but she stopped hearing that chilling, blood draining voice she remembers all too well.

"And I found four pathetic turtles and a girl who only have seconds to live."

Her body tensed, sweat trickling down the side of her face ignoring what Mikey said as they all got into a fighting stance.

As she looked around wondering where he could be she hears Mikey yell in surprise and get tossed into the fog.

"Mikey!" She screams while Donnie rushes towards Shredder ready to strike with his bo staff but Shredder breaks it in half sending him flying only to slide behind him, kicking him into the fog. "Donnie!" Her eyes widening as she watches him disappear, her breathing becoming raspy and her voice shaking before turning around to see Leo and Raph charge at him.

"No, guys, wait!" She reached her hand out to stop them but saw Raph disappear into the fog as well. She could hear her heart racing in her ears as she runs towards Shredder who stood above Leo, on his hands and knees, as he raised his weapon for the final strike. "No!" She screams as she wakes up, reaching her right arm out, her eyes filled with tears, body sweating.

She looked at her surroundings and heard rapid beeping. She panted heavily seeing she was in a hospital room and looked over seeing Jessica burst through the door having heard her scream.

"What's wrong?!" She rushes forward examining the heart monitor before placing her hand on her shoulder. "It's going to be ok, you had a nightmare..." Kara couldn't take it anymore and she leaned into Jessica, crying.

"It was awful! My friends...they were gone before my eyes! And I couldn't do anything!" She cried harder than she ever had in her life. Jessica looked down at her with a pained expression before hugging her tightly as she remembered when she saw her..

Jessica was walking out the hospital, just ending her shift as she let her long hair down. She walked over to her car, taking her keys out and looked up, hearing something fall onto a vehicle. She slowly turned around and readied her bag to use as a weapon but widened her eyes seeing...turtles! Four mutant turtles! She looked closely at them seeing they were wearing different colored masks and had weapons, that made her nervous, but she also noticed they had pained expressions on their faces along with bruises and cuts.

"Y-You're Kara's doctor, right?" The one with the purple masked asked, holding something in his arms.

She slowly nodded wondering how they know about her. He walked up to her and she stared in shock seeing Kara bleeding in his arms. She quickly took her from them, glaring at them, thinking they did something to her but stopped as she saw tears roll from the purple mask's eyes.

"Please, take care of her.." Before she could say anything they disappeared leaving her in the parking lot with a bleeding Kara.

She snapped back to reality and bolted into the hospital barking orders at the nurses and doctors telling them to prepare for surgery. When one of the male nurses grabbed Kara to take her away she immediately tied her hair back into a bun turning her professional mind back on.

That had been a week ago and she was starting to worry for Kara but kept that to herself knowing the girl was strong and she would get through.

Kara had passed out in her arms, crying herself back to sleep and she stayed sitting on the bed, holding Kara for what seemed like hours watching for any signs of a nightmare but when none showed she slowly let her down, adjusting the sling she had on her broken left arm and check her stomach wound to make sure the stitching didn't break.

Afterwards, she sat down on the couch, having her stay in the hospital suite for the 'more rich' patients and fell asleep watching over her.

It had been two weeks since she seen the turtles, being stuck in the hospital was starting to make her go crazy but luckily April would visit her often telling her everything that had been going on, specially with Master Splinter training the turtles nonstop.

She sighed heavily staring out the window wanting to see them so bad..specially Donnie. She closed her eyes remembering his painful expression before she passed out and it broke her heart.

She managed to get in contact with Casey and told him she got mugged by a group of men with large knives and ended up getting injured so her job had to be put on hold for now til she recovered. He understood and promised to visit her soon.

Jessica had, much to her distress, let Kara walk around the hospital to get some exercise. Being cooped up in a room was driving her crazy she thought as she stepped out onto the roof where there was a little garden and stone benches for the patients to relax at. She walked over to it and sat down playing with one of the flowers. "I miss you guys.." She sighed softly while stroking the petal of a purple flower with her fingertip.

"Sounds like someones in love." A familiar voice said aloud. Kara stood up and saw her sister at the door, leaning against it with a lit cigarette in her mouth. "Sara!" Kara shouted excitedly while going over to her, hugging her tightly with one arm. "It's great to see you!"

Sara smiled softly at her but it slowly disappeared seeing her sister in this state as she gently petted her head. "You too, sis." Sara said softly as she ran her hand through her long, flowing black hair to get it out of her face showing she had the same eye colors as Kara though hers were the opposite of Kara's.

"Mom and dad are here too, they're speaking with Jessica. She told us what happened..." Kara's eyes widen wondering if she knew about the turtles. "I can't believe a bunch of guys tried to beat up my sister just for fun." She said angrily, tossing her cigarette to the ground and crushed it with her boot heel, twisting it.

Kara sighed in relief but smiled reassuringly when her sister gave her a confused look. "Eh, I managed to give them a show of my skills too." She grinned widely making her sister smile.

"Come on, mom and dad are going to want to see you." Sara said putting her arm around her sister's shoulder leading her back inside and into her room where her mother was in tears and her father was trying to calm her down.

"Kara! Sweetie! Are you ok, my dear?! How could they do this to such a sweet, innocent girl?!" She said through tears while hugging her tightly making her cringe in pain.

She maybe a fashion designer but her grip was like a bear hug. Her father pulled his wife off of his daughter and he hugged her gently.

"I'm sorry we had to see each other under these circumstances." He said softly, gently squeezing her wishing he didn't have to see his daughter like this.

He looked down at her placing his hands on the side of her face and kissing her forehead. "I've missed you mommy...daddy.." She hugged him again feeling tears welling in her eyes as she tried to hold them in but when her mom and sister joined in on the hug she just let them go, feeling happy to see her family once more.

They spent all day with her getting a chance to catch up on things even though she knew everything about what they've been doing it was good to hear it from them to see and hear the excitement in their voices and faces.

When night time came they departed to their hotel leaving Kara by herself but she didn't mind after all the catching up it drained her. She yawned tiredly and laid down ready to get some shut eye.

As she closed her eyes they snapped open hearing the sounds of uncovered motors running. She sat up, clearly annoyed and went to her window to see if a biker gang was raiding a home or something; but saw the something.

It was the guys on...go karts? She snuck out her room and onto the roof seeing them chasing after a 18 wheeler. She watched curiously yet with anticipation wondering what was happening.

When the 18 wheeler exploded she covered her ears and ducked until it was safe to come up. She saw the guys and sighed in relief to see they weren't hurt and decided to give them a call, calling Donnie's T-phone. "Hello? Kara!? How are you? Are you feeling better?!"

She smiled at his concerned. "Why not come up here and see for yourself?"

She saw his head look up and around for her and she waved her good arm to get his attention. He pointed at her as his brothers looked where he was pointing and went over to see her.

She gave each of them a hug as they went to her and she sighed. "I really missed you guys. I should be out of here in a week. I'll come see you all when I leave."

"Good, cause it's not as much fun kicking butt without you..but it's still pretty fun." Raph said giving her a light punch on her shoulder making her grin at him and she hugged him before the others as they left.

"When I get back we'll have pizza gyoza, my treat." She said hugging Mikey then Leo before they jumped off the building leaving her and Donnie alone. He looked down shyly, rubbing his arm.

"Look, when-"

He was cut off by her grabbing his plastron, pulling him to her and kissing him smack on the lips. He stood there, speechless still feeling her warm lips against his as she parted, his face slowly turning red. "I like you, Donnie. I don't want to lose you...when I saw you guys fighting Shredder..I stood there helpless..I didn't know what to do..but when he cornered you all..I feared I was going to lose you and your brothers. You guys have been the best thing that has happened to me..I can't see my life without them...without you."

He continued staring open mouthed at her trying to find the words to say but they wouldn't leave his thoughts. She looked at him worriedly thinking she made a mistake til he reached for her, pulled her close to him, and kissed her back.

She blushed deeply but slowly closed her eyes, putting her arm around his neck. When they parted once more she opened her eyes staring at him. "Wow..." She said with a smile on her face.

He chuckled and placed his hand on her cheek before leaving with his brothers. She touched her lips, staring at the spot he was at and smiled more, letting out a dreamy sigh before leaving to her room to retire for the night.
