I don't own TMNT though I wish...
"COME ON THERE IS A BOMB IN THE BUILDING!" Shouted April as she ran through the halls. The little elderly woman who lived a few doors down couldn't leave her bed. April and a few others got her out and into a wheelchair and raced to the elevators. The other people screamed at April to go with them but she couldn't leave them behind.
Running back she heard Raphael talking loudly to Vernon. She stood outside the door listening and couldn't believe her ears.
"Donnie is on his way Vernon just tell me why you did what you did?" Raphael sneered as he kept trying to figure out a way to help Vernon.
"They were watching us Raphael. If they didn't hear me talk and treat her like I had they would have done worse."
"Worse? Hows that? You are supposed to be her best friend and you were gonna rape her you sicko!"
"Don't you understand they want revenge you thick head! They are wanting revenge on all of you! They won't stop until they get what they want!" Vernon screamed as more pain rocked through his body. Sure enough a bullet came buzzing through the window barely missing Raphael's head.
"Raph!" April scream as she ran in only to be knocked down to the floor as more bullets started to spray in the room.
"I told you get her out of the state. Sacks wants revenge and so does that bitch!" was the last Vernon could get out of his mouth as a bullet hit him.
Looking straight at her friend tears fell as she seen his last breath come from his lungs. April started to reach up from the floor when Raphael grabbed hold of her and started to rush her to the fire escape. There was only a minute or two left; he looked out to see Donnie, Mickey and Leo rushing towards them on the roof tops. Raphael put the struggling April on his shoulder as he leaped from the top of her building to the next one over. No soon as they landed the bomb went off shattering the windows in other buildings in a 4 block radius.
April screamed out in pain for the loss of her friend. Yeah she was pissed that her friend treated her like he had. But that didn't mean she didn't give a damn. After all the hell he put her through he tried to protect her. The fact that he just died to save her said it all. She watched her building burn from the top of the next one over. Raphael tried to comfort her but she shoved him away. She was still mad at Raphael and didn't want to speak to him. Mickey gently touched her shoulder and she turned to him letting him comfort her. Raphael couldn't help the flash of pain, anger, and regret through his eyes. He bristled up and didn't say anything just walked to the edge of the building. He didn't talk for awhile as he watched the firetrucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles pull in. Leonardo watched the way April reacted to Raphael. Those two where normally close and yet April was pushing him away and turning to the rest.
"Look we need to get her to the sewers. We can talk more down there. Right now we are in the open and there is to many people about. " Leonardo said gently to the others. "Master Splinter is waiting for us and will be anxious if we don't get back to the lair soon."
April had cried so hard she was already passed out from shock and exhaustion. Mickey looked sadly at his girl and then looked at his brothers. "What is going on bros. Cause dude this is totally wicked and not in the righteous way man. Who has it out for her and Vern?"
"Later the sun is climbing up in the east we have to get back to cover." Raphael barked out as he ran for the alley. The other three looked at each with renewed concern on their faces. They knew better than to impose yet what was going on.
