Chapter 5: Following

"April, think about this, it could be dangerous." Leonardo tried to stop the girl from doing something stupid that could get her hurt. He knew she missed her dad but she couldn't just go out alone to enemy territory and the turtles can't really go since it was still daytime.

"You know what else could be dangerous? Standing between me and my father." April stood firm, her blue eyes staring daggers at the masked turtle.

"Kay." Even though he let her go Leo, he still felt uneasy. Looking back at his brothers all preoccupied with something, they wouldn't even notice. Daytime or not he was going after her.

The sun was setting but he still stayed on the rooftops watching the girl below him. He careful not to be spotted. She hid around objects following a Kraang-droid to a building and she managed to sneak inside. Leo moved around the building finding a window so he could see April. She was sitting behind a crate and she kept peering around the edge of it spying on some of the droids. Her eyes went wide as a fire hydrant fell to the floor creating a loud thump. One of the droids had picked it up scanning the area for intruders. Oh no. Grabbing one of his katana's Leo was ready to jump in to save her, but he notice her moving and grabbing something. He tapped the window causing it to swing back and forth. The curious droid came closer towards the window. April running up behind, hit the Kraang droid with a metal pipe. Sending it right through the window. "Whoa"

"Leo? What are you doing?" the girl peered down from the window seeing her blue masked friend hiding beneath it. She jumped down besides him placing her hands at her hips.

"I was umm… I mean I'm... I." he couldn't really think of any good excuse.

"You were following me."

"Yes." He looked away from her hoping she wouldn't be angry. "I wanted to make sure you'd be okay."

"Thank you." she whispered wrapping her arms around the turtle hugging him, he eagerly returned the hug. "You're a good friend Leo."

"You know... That was pretty cool what you did to that Kraang-droid. Maybe I teach you some moves sometime."

"Sure Leo, it'd like that." Flashing him a smile as he went back to the sewers.

"Oh yeah, don't tell the others. Especially Raph."

Chuckling slightly she replied "I won't."

"Hello?" a voice whispered.

"Hey guys quite somebody's coming"

"Guys it's me."

"April!" Leo cried out acting surprized, his brothers still didn't know that he had followed her and he hoped he wouldn't to avoid an interrogation by Donnie. When he got back to the lair it was time for patrol and he tried to act as if he had never seen the warehouse before. The three turtles and robot jumped down to their human friend. After April filled them in on the Kraang's new it was time to take action.

"Here April, hop on." Leo knelt down to let the girl jump onto his shell. She wrapped her arms gently round his neck as he placed his hands on the girls legs. They jumped back up to the rooftops stopping just above the Kraang's hideout. He slowly let go of the girl when they reached the top. She slowly unwrapped her hands from his neck and resting them on Leonardo's shoulder.

"Good Luck." April whispered, the turtle simply nodded as the girl removing her hands and watching her friends go into combat.
