Benjamin chaplin leaned against the wall, as he stood silent and folded his arms. Karai caressed her slightly growing abdomen, sighed exhaltedly. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think this is wise, while in your fragile condition?" he feared. Karai blinked quickly, shocked then replied. "I am fine, I am not exactly out in the field." he soghed, exhaltedly lowly. Unfolded his arms and stood accordingly appropriate and approached karai, taling her hand and caressed her cheek as he laid his forehead upon hers.
"Dont forget, this is my child as well. I Dont want to lose either of you." Closed her eyes, grasped his hand within hers and held his other hand cradlong her soft cheek as she softly sighed.
"You wont, lose us. i will keep certain affairs to a minimum, no physical field missions."
Pulling away, smiling tenderly and said offering. "How about dinner? I'm cooking." Karai chuckled, nodding. "Sure, I can eat."
Standing nearby, watching happily for his daughter as he worried of his first grandchild. Quietly stepped and walked down the corridor, grasped the handle then turned to open the door. Entered the room, closed the door behind himself. Pulled the chair out, sat down and gtabbed his lovely love's hand.
Prayed for a miracle, the heart monitor beeped with every heart pulse and blood pressure. Hanna laid contently, slept deep. Waiting for her to awake as he has a important question to ask. Nuzzled her hand, praying.
"Please hana, wake up. I can't lose you after only have to had found you."
Softly sobbed, hiding the tears behind his thumbs as he cradled hana's hand beyween both of his and against his lips. Quickly gathered himself, as he heard a knock on the door. Placing her hand downband approached the door, opening it.
"What is it, maggot?"
"I apologize master but news of the purple dragons and Hun." Raised a brow quickly but curiously. "Go on." he requested.
"The purple dragon's have lost casualties in their last encounter with the turtles and it OS said. Hun had received a nasty head shot wound and." he paused, kneeling fast and lowered his gaze. "And what?" oroku lowly asked.
"He is in a coma, master?"
"A coma? How interesting."
"What should be done, master?" the foot soldier wondered. "Nothing. Leave them to sort their own affairs."
Elsewhere, the brownstone. Jasmine walked out to her bedroom and while she dried her haie, not realising a framed photograph had fallen. Glancing down to the photograph of herself and a former boyfriend, she had forgotten. Still possessed and stared at the photo as flashbacks of her relationship with the ex boyfriend waver over her like a tidal wave.
The cracked sound of the slap across her face, echoed in the still quietness. Stumbled unvalanced until she met with the table, disturbing Al items and fell to the floor as they broke into pieces. Loking back over her shoulder in fear whilst the man, she assumably believed to be in love with. Had physically abused her.
"I canr believe you lied to me." he hissed. "I didn't lie and where did you hear lies?" again, she received another slap across her cheek followed by her hair violently grabbed and yanked, causing pain to her scalp. Reaching up to frab his hands and hopefully to escape from his grasp and stop the intense pain inflicted to her head. She failed as was thrown across the room and onto the floor.Soon as she impacted with the floor, felt a guard and heavy stomp upon her back.
Screaming in agony but he didn't stop there. The abuse continued and she fell unconscious from bern brutally abused. Later awoken in a hospital bed and a nurse stood by, checking on her vitals and nursed her injuries. Gasped heavily as she spring up but winced in pain.
"You shouldn't get up, rest to heal your injuries miss. You're lucky to be alive." nurse Marie assured.
"What happened?" jasmine asked, raspily. "You were badly beaten and when you were found, only had escaped from been sexually assaulted by the man that had hovered over you."
Jasmine's eyes widened but they were swollen, bruised and painful.
"What?" she rasped again.
"Where is he?"
"Taken into custody and will be charged for the assault. If you mind, i'd ask you a personal question?" nurse Marie asked
"Was he someone, you are familiar with?" jasmone lowered her gaze and looked away, finally replied.
"He is my boyfriend." nurse Marie sat down and assuringly grasped her hand. "You are safe now, maybe should consider this as a option to leave him."
"I have no where to go." jasmine glanced the nurse, weakly said. nurse Marie sighed, fearful fir jasmine and said.
"I knew someone who can help to leave and find a new apartment. That is only if you are willing to accept the offer."
Jasmine nodded, weakly smiled. "Yes please, i'd like that." nurse Marie smiled and replied. "Alright, I'll give them a call."
Standing up, releasing jasmine's hand and as she walked away then stopped and smiled back from the doorway and continued on her way.
Closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and crouched down. Picking up the broken glass pieces, removed the photograph from the frame and looked upon it one last time then positioned her fi her over the top. Tearing it in half then half once more, walked to the kitchen and placed the torn pieces in the pot and lit a match.
Burned the photogeaph, watching each piece turn into ash. Seeing his face, reminded her of bad horrid memories. She had forgotten, still possessed the photograph. The photograph of lies, it was taken of her mask that hidden her pain and sadness.
Now, watching it burn had given her a sense of relief and found new hope for herself. Making herself a vow, she will never be a victim again. Promising to change and become a new different woman.
Meanwhile, back at the lair. Bruce discussed about how splinter wanted the photograph to be remastered or possibly use as a reference to create in a painting. Bruce also offered another painting idea, a family portrait of his sons, grandchildren and their wives. Rachel smiled and replied quickly.
"I'd like that, please Benji."
Bruce smiled, nodded. Splinter smiled. "That woukd be gracious of you, Bruce. I do hope you dont exhaust yourself as you do this for us."
Bruce happily replied. "No, no. It's no trouble at all. It's my pleasure, I wish to see you happy. I can begin on it, right away but do you have any more photographs of your sons?"
Splinter lowered his gaze, half closed his eyes and exhaled. "Only when they were toddlers, they have changed since then."
"Oh?" raised his brow and scratched the back of his head. "Well, could wait until they return and I'll take photos then?" bruce suggested.
"I even brought my camera in case of this situation." splinter nodded. "They shoukd be back soon, until then I advice you get comfortable and prepare to sleep for the night."
Bruce smiled alittle and agreed. "I accept your invitation." Kindly bowed to splinter.
