"I've put up with you guys for a long time but this is about to get real!" Mikey stared down both his brothers inside Murakami's while Leo, Kara, and Sara hung back just relaxing; Sara trying out something different than the Gyoza watching the three brothers at their game.
"You don't want this kind of pain, Mikey." Raph pounded his fist into his palm.
"Big talk for someone with such a limited vocabulary, Raph." Donnie added in leaning close to Raph only to have him push him away.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Leo leaned back against the watching them all with a grin on his face.
"Wait, wait. Let me record this first." Kara laughed while bringing out her phone setting it on camera to record.
"Is this how you guys always eat?" Kara turned to her chuckling sister, smiling, "Nope, first time for this, actually. Guess we'll find out who has the quickest reflexes." She chops her arms while making kung fu noises and giggles along with Sara before turning around to face the others.
Raph turned to Leo clenching his fists. "Are you kidding me? I was born ready!"
"Ok, Mr. Murakami." Kara moved the camera to Leo as he spoke then over to Mr. Murakami as he prepared the trophy to be won.
"One pizza gyoza coming up." Mr. Murakami smiled as he held out a freshly made pizza gyoza. Kara turned to the guys and saw their hypnotized, drooling faces at the sight of it and laughed. "Oh, this is going to be goood." She said with the camera turned to her and grinned before turning it back to Murakami as he threw the gyoza. "And the battle begins." She said as Donnie made the first move jumping headfirst at it with his arms raised to catch it. "Looks like Donnie might catch but with his height but, wait, Mikey jumps in from behind and pushes Donnie out of the way to get it but Raph shoves Mikey out of the way and opens his mouth wide to get it annnnd- oh! Mikey grabs his legs pulling him back just before he could taste sweet victory!" Kara commentated with a laugh watching them all land on top of each other in a pile, the gyoza being anyone's gain.
It was falling towards Mikey, who opened his mouth to get it but just as he was about to enjoy the savory flavor of the gyoza, Leo's katana slid under it, catching it before it reached inside Mikey's mouth. "Heh, I thought I'd play after all." Leo said tossing the gyoza off his sword and to his mouth but blinks when he doesn't taste it and looks to see Kara holding it in her hand. "You too? Great minds think alike." She said with a playful grin, sticking her tongue out and went to pop it in her mouth but coughed when she breathed in smoke instead, "Ack, what the?" Turning to Sara she saw a trail of smoke coming from her arm, the smoke retreating back to her body, the gyoza between two fingers. "You are correct, sis." She said with a smile before popping the prize into her mouth, chewing slowly to savor its salty victory. "Betrayed by my own sister!" Kara cried out while dropping to her knees in defeat, throwing her arms in the air dramatically. "Mmm, this one is really good. Best one you made so far Mr. Murakami." Sara commented with her hand over her cheek, pure bliss written on her face.
"My restaurant was never that popular until I invented these for you." Mr. Murakami turned to the guys holding out a trayful of pizza gyoza for them.
Kara sat up, sitting next to Sara while Donnie, Mikey, and Raph went heart eyes over the gyoza before digging in.
"You could always liven the place up. Perhaps with some music?" Sara suggested before pulling out one of her CDs from inside her jacket that was beside her and set it down on the table. "It's free of charge so no need to thank me. It's what I do." She said with a gleaming smile.
Kara snuck behind Donnie snatching a few of his gyozas before giving him a kiss on the cheek. Donnie smiled at her before looking over at Leo to see him staring out the window deep in thought. "He's still brooding."
"He's thinking about her. About Karai."
"Master Splinter is her father. How could she still want to be with the Shredder?"
Sara gently blew on her hot green tea Mr. Murakami set in front of her and glanced curiously at them while Mikey went on an inspirational speech with his mouth full. When he finished she let out a soft laugh. "He is right, Leo." Everyone blinked in surprise turning their attention to Sara as she sipped her tea quietly. "Listen," She lowered her teacup, staring inside it at the liquid. "I may not know much about this Karai girl but.." She breathed in deeply and let out a soft sigh. "Imagine being in her shoes: living with someone who you've called father your whole life only to have this sudden news that he isn't who he says he is and that your enemy is your real father. Would you believe that person right then and there?" She tilted her head in his direction watching him look away and sigh. "No.."
"From what Kara has told me she is a good person but you must give her time to figure this out for herself and let her come to you or else, things will get far worse than better." She said before returning to her cup, drinking her tea.
"Woah, Sara, that was deep." Kara said sliding up beside her with an in-awe expression on her face, starry eyed making Sara chuckle. "I learned a lot from your Sensei while I was staying with them. I can see where your wisdom is coming from." Sara gave Kara a smile before gently rubbing her head making Kara smile with pride.
"Yeah, don't worry, Leo, she'll come around." Donnie said reassuringly to his brother.
Raph was about to take a bite of his pizza gyoza but stopped and turned towards them. "Yeah? Well personally I hope she doesn't. I don't trust her not for one second." Kara grinned watching Mikey steal Raph's gyoza from his hand.
"You're right, Raph. You shouldn't trust anyone." Donnie placed his hands on his hips watching Raph opened his mouth to eat the gyoza only to chomp down on his fingers. Raph glared seeing Mikey eating his gyoza and tackled him to the ground, both of them beginning to fight.
"I think that's enough excitement for me. I'm heading back to your place, Kara." Sara said having finished her tea and set the money for their bill on the counter. Putting her jacket on while walking towards the exit she stopped when she went to pass Leo and placed her hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze, before exiting the shop, stopping at the door to place a cigarette in her mouth and left out of sight.
"So, are you going to come over and uh..help me with some of my inventions?" Donnie asked while taking a wide step to Kara's side with a blush across his face and his fingers poking together in a shy, timid way.
"Not tonight, sorry. I have some training with my Casey tomorrow morning, but I'll stop by afterwards." She gave him a kiss before grabbing the doggie bag Mr. Murakami gave her full of pizza gyoza and left him a hefty tip.
"Wait, maybe I should walk you home." Donnie walked up behind her placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll be fine. Sara shouldn't be that far ahead I'll just catch up with her. Besides, I'm strong enough to handle anything that comes my way." She held up her arm clenching her fist with a grin before reaching her hand up touching his cheek. "Trust me."
He placed his hand over hers, giving it a gentle squeeze and gave her a kiss. "Ok, but just to be sure please call me when you get home. Your boyfriend worries." He said with a light chuckle making her smile til she heard Raph make a sound of disgust in the background turning her head towards him and glare. "Night, guys." She said before walking out the door and running off to catch up with Sara.
Kara looked around knowing by now she should of caught up with her and sighed, "Guess she used her power to get home quicker. Oh well." Shrugging her shoulders, she slowed her pace to a stroll not being in a big hurry to get home. Opening her doggie bag she took out a gyoza deciding to have a snack on the way home but stopped, lowering her arm when she felt the hairs at the back of her neck stand up. Narrowing her eyes she scanned the area around her then lifted her gaze to see a handful of footbots staring down at her from the rooftop. Raising a brow at them wondering why they decided to fight her now only to grin when a thought popped into her head. "So, Shredder is starting to get smart, is he? Psh, more stupid to be exact. Here, hold my doggie bag, kitty." She set the doggie bag next to the cat on top the trashcan, it mewing at her in response just before she put her gloves on. "So, who wants to go first?" She questioned pounding her fist together as they all jumped down, having their weapons out and attacked. Bringing out her taser she set it to max before slamming it into the first one to attack.
Once they synced their fighting style with hers it became more difficult to counter so all she was able to do was dodge and use her taser. "Crap, this is getting nowhere. I better call the guys." She said aloud while dodge rolling out of line of an attack and took out her phone. Having Donnie's number on speed-dial she moved it towards her ear, feeling relief when he immediately answered.
"Kara, I was just about to call you. You might be in danger."
"A little late for that, Donnie. I'm being attacked by footbots and I'm more outnumbered than-" She was punched across the face, this action causing her to drop her phone and it be kicked away from her. Stumbling to her knees she went to reach for her phone when one footbot grabbed her by her hair and lifted her up punching her mercilessly in the gut. Grunting with each punch she slumped forward with a groan while coughing up blood when they finally stopped. Quickly gathering her thoughts, she grabbed its arm when it went to strike again and gave it a headbutt before throwing it into the wall. "D-Donnie!" She tried reaching for her phone but the footbots tackled her to the ground and before bringing her to her knees and holding her arms out.
Staring up at the footbot in front of her eyes filled with fear she squeezed her eyes shut thinking this was the end of her but when nothing happened she looked up to see a knife stabbed through the footbots head it malfunctioning before falling in front of her revealing a girl around her age with long, untamed, red curly hair, a blue eye that shined like sapphire that wasn't covered by her bangs. Underneath her eyes were specks of freckles which only brought out the color of her eye even more. A gentle breeze past by them making the new girls hair dance like waves of fire as she pulled out the knife from the ninjabot and stared at the ninjas who had Kara, her full, rose-pink lips turning upwards to a grin. "Now, this disn't seem like an even, fair fight. Allow me tae mak it so." She said in a surprisingly thick Scottish accent as she spun her pocketknife in her hand and immediately charged going for the ones that were holding Kara, throwing her pocketknife at the one on the right.
As it fell Kara took her arm back and punched the one on the left. Deciding to take what help she could get she followed after the red-haired, Scottish speaking girl and ask questions later. "Be careful, they can copy any fighting style." Kara warned her as she grabbed one footbot's arm pulling it close to her and shoved her elbow in its face then grabbed it and slammed it into her knee before throwing it at some that were coming towards her.
The red-haired girl grabbed the handle of her knife from the ninja robot and sliced it out and upwards at one that was coming towards her then quickly spun around, bringing her knife down on one that was coming up from behind her. "Thanks for the heids up, lass, but thay won't last much longer tae remember it." She glanced over at her with a playful grin as she kicked another in the stomach and brought her fist down on its face sending it to the ground.
Once all the footbots were taken care of Kara let out a soft sigh before turning to the girl with a smile. "Thanks for the save. I would of been a goner if it wasn't for you." She rubbed the back of her head letting out a nervous chuckle.
"Ay, you're lucky Ah was here when Ah wus. Why were thay after ya anywyes? Owe some Yakuza mobster money?" The redheaded girl asked with an oblivious look staring down at the ninja robots.
"Ehhehe...yeah.." She trailed off before holding her hand out with a grin. "Anyways, my name is-"
"Kara!"
Both Kara and the girl blinked in surprise hearing a hysterical shout and both of them looked where the shout came from, Kara seeing Donnie jump down from the roof getting in between her and the girl, bringing her into a tight hug. "Are you ok?! What happened?!"
The others came up not noticing the girl as they gathered around Kara to make sure she was ok all the while the new girl stood there with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Kara let out a sigh before holding up her hand for them to stop talking. "First of all, they managed to get a few hits in but in the end, I'm ok. Second, look." She pointed at the girl making everyone look where she was pointing and froze.
"Uh oh.." Mikey said out loud as they and the girl had a staring contest.
The redhaired girl continued staring at them with a blank expression on her face til she suddenly stood straight crossing her arms. "Well, this isnae something ye see every day."
All of them blinked at how calm she was at seeing them. Leo deciding to speak up. "Wait, you're not..scared of us?" His voice raised slightly in bewilderment a soft blush across his cheeks yet the smallest hint of a smile was on his face.
"O' wha? Yoo're turtles walking on two legs an..appear tae be armed.." She scanned over their weapons til her eyes fell onto the one she was talking to and her eyes light up, a wide smile on her face as she walked up to him. "Ur those katanas?" She asked him in sheer excitement watching as he nervously nodded before blinking in surprise as she was suddenly behind him and pulled one out from his sheath rather professionally. "An naet just any! Thay're the Niten Ryu! An in perfect condition!" She looked it over taking in every detail.
Leo stared at her his blush darkening some. "You-you know about them?"
"Woah, dudes, did you hear her accent? It's like, Irish or something!" Mikey said with a wide grin while stepping beside her.
Her eyes narrowed toward the smaller one with the freckles and she pointed the sword at him. "I'm naet Irish! Ah come from a long, proud line o' Scottish warriors! Daen't mak that mistake again!" She shouted clearly offended at Mikey's comment who jumped back with a startled yell as the others got in front of them, their weapons out.
Kara moved forward now able to get a good look at her noting she had the same body type though her skin tone was slightly darker and was more curvy around the waist and chest, Kara mentally pouting her lips in jealousy at that. She wore a plain white shirt with stars rising up from her left side, a long-sleeved undershirt with black and white stripes on the sleeve, and blue jean capris with white converse shoes and ankle socks. "Guys, calm down. She just saved my life." Kara spoke while getting in front of them before turning to the redhaired girl. "I'm Kara." She said with a smile holding her hand out to the redhaired girl.
"Names Dragan but ma friend's call me Dra or Dre." Dragan said with a wide grin and shook her hand with a firm handshake Kara nodding in approval.
So, you're really not scared of my friends?"
Dragan shook her head before handing the katana back to its rightful owner. "Nae, I think thay're pretty cool. Ur thay aliens?"
"Haha, no, they're mutants. Anyways let me introduce them to you. This is Leonardo." Kara pointed towards him as he walked up to her taking back his katana and sheathing it before bowing his head. "H-Hi." He gave her a small smile as Kara continued with the introductions.
"This is Raphael." He gave her a simple nod.
"Donatello." He gave a small wave, smiling awkwardly.
"And lastly, Michelangelo."
"Whaddap, Dre Dre?" He said with a wide grin and a playful wink.
"They're brothers and are trained in the art of ninjitsu."
Before anyone could say anything else Raph's phone went off and he answered it, seeing it was Casey. While Raph tried to get Casey to answer Donnie walked up to Kara putting his hands on her shoulders. "Listen, Karai and Tigerclaw are out there looking for us. They're going after everyone we know, even Mr. Murakami. I want you to head home and lock all of your doors. We're gonna go find Casey and April."
"No way! They don't know where I live or anything about me and what if they send a tracker after me? My sister and the people at the hotel would be in danger! I'm going with you to find my friends."
"Alright, Raph and Mikey go find Casey. The three of us will track down April." Leo said as they watched Mikey and Raph run off, Leo and Donnie leaving in the opposite direction.
Kara went to follow but stopped and looked at Dragan as if going over something before giving her a grin. "Wanna go on an adventure?"
Dragan's eyes widened in surprise before copying Kara's grin and pumped her fist in the air. "Ya know it, lass!" Kara laughed before beckoning her to follow them as Kara caught up with them. "April should be at the Argosy!" Kara shouted at them.
All of them stood on top of the Argosy theater but there was no sign of April anywhere.
"She couldn't have gone too far.."
"Wait, why is Dragan with us? She could be putting herself in danger!"
Kara sighed and turned to Leo. "We don't have time for this. Look, I've seen her fight and she's pretty good! Considering she fought footbots I think she can handle her own."
"Ay, it's nae like I'm completely defenseless." She said as she brought out her pocketknife with a smile. "Ma teacher taught me that anythin' can be a weapon." She said while twirling her knife in her hand before putting it away.
Leo blinked and pointed at her while opening his mouth to speak but Dragan was too busy looking around til she spotted two girls on a roof. "Is 'at her over thaur?" She asked pointing to the other side where a redhaired girl and ninja looking girl were talking.
"Yes!" Kara said in a panic before jumping down the building and running to the other side beginning to climb to April, Donnie following after her.
Leo went to go after them but blinked in surprise at Dragan. "Um..do you need help climbing down?"
"Nae, it's cool. I'll uh..catch up wi ye guys." She gave him a smile and watched as he jumped down. Letting out a sigh she began to slowly climb down so as to not lose her footing but did so anyways, her foot slipping and began to fall. Squeezing her eyes shut she waited for the impact of the cold, concrete ground but instead felt something warm, hard yet smooth catch her. She opened her eyes and looked up seeing Leo with a smirk on his face, looking down at her. "You sure about that?" He let out a soft laugh when her cheeks turned red and she quickly climbed down. "I had it aw under control, thank ya very much." She said as she walked towards the building making Leo chuckle and follow after before picking her back up and jumped to the top with ease, Dragan in his arms. Leo let her down before turning to Donnie as he shouted at Karai to get away from April. Dragan stared at Leo but shook her head deciding to watch the others.
"Leo, Donnie, Kara, wait! You have to listen to what she has to say." Hearing the urgency in April's voice Kara took a step back and turned her attention to Karai.
"I believe you, Leonardo. I believe Splinter is my true father." Kara said closing her eyes in shame.
"I believe she believes you." April said to Leo.
"I believe April." Donnie turned to April but followed Kara's movements as she went up to Karai, eyes narrowed in suspicion, "Know this." She whispered to Karai. "If you do anything, anything, to betray this trust that they have given you. I will personally make you regret it." She glared at her making Karai's eyes widen as Kara searched for any lies on her face but when she found none she gave her a smile and backed away towards them, turning to April. "I believe you."
"This.." Leo looked as though he didn't know how to process the information but he smiled wide while walking towards her. "This is great! I knew you'd come around. We'll take you to the lair to see Master Splinter."
Kara stayed behind with Donnie and Dragan, who was clearly confused. Kara glanced at her, seeing this and placed her hand on her shoulder. "I'll explain later, if you decide to stick around, of course."
"Woo, Raph's not gonna believe this." Donnie said taking Kara's hand and following after the others, Dragan right behind them.
-At the Lair-
"I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" Raph screamed in their faces. "WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE?!"
Kara followed Mikey with her eyes seeing him running towards an injured Casey, her eyes widened seeing the state he was in. "Oh no.."
"Casey!" April ran to his side to make sure he was ok.
"What world do you live in that it's ok to bring the princess of the footclan to our secret lair?!" Raph looked more ticked than usual as he placed his fingers to the side of his head in irritation.
"What happened to Casey?" Leo asked Raph as he turned to show his injured state to them all.
"Tigerclaw threw him off a building and you just brought his partner in crime home for dinner." Raph pointed accusingly to Karai.
"Shredder lied to me! I didn't know!" Karai shouted in desperation before she lowered her voice pain visible in her tone.
Raph glared at her as he brought out his weapon, "Did you know that I'm about to stick this sai right up your-"
"Raph, no. She understands now." Leo intervened getting in between Raph and Karai.
"She gets it. She knows the truth, Raph. Everything is going to be fine." Donnie added in.
When Karai took a step back Kara watched her closely and her eyes widened seeing her pull a small device out from her armor. She glared at her before walking up to her and grabbing her arm. "I knew it!" She shouted in anger forcing Karai to look at her.
Karai immediately put away the device after pushing it and stared wide eyed at her in fear.
"Kara, don't! Stop!" Leo said before pulling Karai away from her.
"She can't be trusted, Leo! Even now she's-"
"Why can't you give her a chance?! She said she believes us and even now is here to see Master Splinter! Why can't you be happy for them?!" Before Kara could say anything Leo kept going not letting her get a say in it, not this time. Karai needed to see Master Splinter and he wasn't going to let anything stop that from happening. Kara shut Leo up by slapping him across the face. Glaring at him as everyone stood in shock about what just happened. "You're willing to take her word over mine? After all we've been through?" Her glare was weakening and her voice was shaky as she stared at him before turning away from him. "Then fine..I hope you'll be satisfied with the end results." She said just before running off.
"Kara!" Donnie went to run after her but was stopped by Dragan.
"Daen't worry, lad. I'll go after her. Stay wi yer brothers." She said before running after Kara.
Able to see her shadow, Dragan was forcing her legs to go faster, despite them protesting as she panted heavily. "Lass!...Kara! Ah know that's ya sae s-stop..runnin'!" She breathed out seeing Kara stopping and slowly caught up to her, placing her hand on her shoulder. "Woo, yer a quick one. Ah saw it too, Kara. What are we gonnae tae do about it?" She asked once she had caught her breath, looking at her determined face.
"I know Tigerclaw is coming for them so I'm going to give them some time to find out the truth and hopefully they'll have a way to escape." Kara said while punching her fist to her palm. "What you saw back there, when I was fighting the footbots, that wasn't the real me. Never thought the enemy would be smart enough to ambush me, let alone figure out who I am but I won't let that stop me. I'm going to protect my friends."
Dragan blinked in surprise at her and had a grin on her face before giving her a hard pat on the back. "That's the spirit, lass! Yer talkin' like a true warrior! As pairt o the code, I'll help ya in defendin' yer friends."
After a few minutes Kara let out a frustrated noise. "Ugh! Why isn't he here?! He should of been in the sewers already!" She shouted in annoyance before bending down to her knees, hugging herself.
"Ay, if only there was a wye tae track them tae see where thay are instead. Perhaps thay found out sooner than expected and ur leading him awye from their home?"
Kara blinked in surprise, shooting up to her feet. "That's it! I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner! You're a genius, Dre!" Kara said as she brought out her phone and turned on the tracker to the guy's T-Phones. "Just as you said, they're leading him away from their home. Come on!" She shouted turning around to follow after them Dragan groaning behind her. "Och, more running?"
Both of them were panting as they arrived at a butcher shop. "Come on, Dre..woo..we're..almost there." She said while trying to moisten her mouth before walking towards the back, both of them greeted with the cold, which they welcomed, sighing softly in relief. They weren't able to enjoy the cold for long for they heard and saw Mikey get thrown out from the back and Kara knew they were fighting Tigerclaw. Kara saw Tigerclaw point his sword at Leo and narrowed her eyes while bringing out her taser and snuck up behind him.
Tigerclaw's ears twitched while Dragan poked her head out from the flaps and her eyes widened at the sight of the man tiger. "Holy, crap it's a human tiger!"
Kara grinned when Tigerclaw turned around and when he saw Kara she winked at him while flipping the switch and tased him making him scream in pain. Turning it off, she pocketed it quickly and used the table to push herself up and did a spin kick to his face, causing him to stumble backwards and got between him and Leo.
"Kara.." Leo began but stopped when she held up her hand. "Shut up, I'm still mad at you..but I'm glad to see you're not hurt too bad." She glanced at him giving him a warm smile before turning back around at Tigerclaw as he roared in anger. "You think you can defeat me, little girl?!" He shouted as he charged her, his sword raised at her. Kara narrowed her eyes waiting for the right time to dodge but blinked when Dragan's wild, curly, red hair blocked her line of sight and was even more surprised to see Dragan blocking Tigerclaw's sword with just her pocketknife. "Tsk, tsk, attackin' an unarmed opponent wi a weapon? Not very honorable o' ye, tiger. Allow me tae tak her place." She said with a smirk pushing his sword up causing him to lose his balance for a moment as she pulled out Leo's other katana from its sheath and took a fighting stance.
Before Kara could protest both of them charged each other and began attacking, Kara and Leo both in shock at how Dragan was holding her own, seeing her block and dodge his attacks almost professional like. It wasn't until Tigerclaw was reaching for his gun that Kara decided to intervene, she racing to him and jumped up punching him across the face but he was quick to recover and grabbed her arm before throwing her at Dragan, causing them to fly across the room landing with a loud thud. "Och, lass, yer heavier than ya look.." Dragan groaned under her breath making Kara laugh softly only to let out a hiss of pain. "I get told that a lot heh, oh, shouldn't laugh right now.."
Leo went to reach for his katana but was stopped by Tigerclaw, pointing his sword at him once more. "Karai, would you like the honor of finishing him?" He asked turning back to Leo.
Kara narrowed her eyes watching Karai's movement's.
"I have no honor..but that's about to change." She raised her tone glaring at Tigerclaw attacking him with a kick, Tigerclaw stumbling to the side surprised at Karai's betrayal. She jumped at him, her sword out and ready to strike but he grabbed her, slamming her onto the table near inches from the table saw. She stared at the blade wide eyed but quickly rolled aside as Tigerclaw went to grab her and she spun kicked him away, hoisting herself up and continued to attack with kicks til he used his palm to push her away with such force it sent her slamming into the wall and fall onto the ground.
Tigerclaw grabbed her by the arm, lifting her up and turned his head towards them as everyone got up, holding out their weapons and getting into fighting stances. "If you value her life do not take another step." Tigerclaw pushed a button activating a machine below him that grinded the large slabs of meat with the bones still in them to pieces and raised Karai over it.
Kara narrowed her eyes before stomping her foot to the ground in rage. "Whose idea was it to take the fight to a butcher shop?!" When no one said anything she immediately turned to Mikey but let out a soft gasp to see him knocked out on the ground covered in bruises.
"Just as I thought." She heard Tigerclaw say and narrowed her eyes at him as he threw Karai over his shoulder and fled the scene. "You coward! This isn't over yet!" She shouted after him while Leo ran towards the window. "No! Come on, we have to-" He stopped as everyone gathered around Mikey to make sure he was ok.
"Wow, I think his shell was knocked loose. We have to get him back to Master Splinter." Donnie said looking down at his youngest brother. Kara walked up to him making sure he was ok before bending down next to Raph. "Then we'd better hurry."
"Karai.." Leo looked back where they escaped from worry plastered all over his face.
"I still don't trust her." Raph said to him.
"Are you kidding?! She saved us." Leo shouted stepping towards his brother.
"The Shredder raised her. Daddy's probably welcoming her home right now." Raph looked down at Mikey before lifting him up, Donnie helping him with carrying Mikey.
"I don't trust her either, Raph, but she betrayed Tigerclaw which means she also betrayed Shredder..." Kara glanced over at Leo before averting her eyes not daring to finish the sentence. "Let's go."
Everyone left to the lair, Kara and Leo supporting Dragan while the other two supported Mikey.
"You know, Dre, I think we're gonna be good friends." Kara said with a small smile that soon turned to a grin.
"Heh, likewise, Kara."
