Chapter 4: Eris Crow

It had been a week since Master Splinter had left and things were getting worse for the brothers.

Raphael had locked himself in his room and only came out for patrol. Donatello spent most of his time working in his lab, trying to find a way to save Leo.

Mikey just sat talking to Leo, even though the eldest could not respond.

All of a sudden the perimeter alarms in the lair went off. The ear deafing sound alerted the remaining turtle brothers to the lab.

"What's happening now Donnie?" Mikey asked fearfully as the genius turned off the alarms.

"There's a number of unknown people moving in on our lair's location!" The purple masked brother cried. "How long we got before they find us?" Raph asked.

"I say, at the speed they're going at now, about 14 minutes." Donnie replied nervously.

"We'll meet them half way before they find our home!" Raphael growled. He then grabbed his weapons and running out the lair.

His brothers quickly followed...


"They're right up ahead!" Donnie called.

When the brothers turned a corner they met a shocking scene. There were 5 men were attacking a young lady in a white hoodie and trying to take her brown satchel bag.

"Give us the bag lady!" One man hissed angrily.

"NEVER!" She snarled. Suddenly another man sent her into a wall with a hard punch. The leader picked up her bag and began searching in it.

"Didn't ya mom ever tell ya stealin' is wrong?" Raph smirked when he and his brothers appeared to the men.

The leader growled when he saw them. "Rip those turtles to pieces." He said before dropping the mysterious lady's bag and escaping with three of his men through a man hole, leaving his last one to battle the turtles.

But it seemed that this last man was a coward.

Once he saw that he was highly out numbered he quickly escaped through the tunnels. "What do we do with her?" Mikey asked when he saw the badly injured lady.

Raph sighed.

"We'll have to take her with us."...


"I still think that this was a very bad idea." Don said once again.

They had brought the young lady back to their lair and Donnie checked her over. Other than a few bruises and scrapes she was perfectly healthy.

She was 27 years old.

She had wavy honey brown hair that went down to her elbows and ghostly white skin. She wore a white hoodie, black jeans and white sneakers.

Donnie had looked in her bag.

It was full of bottles full of weird liquids and papers with calculations on them. Suddenly the lady opened her blue eyes and looked around franticly.

"Easy miss, we're not here to hurt you." Donnie soothed.

The woman began to calm down. "H-Hello, my name's Dr. Eris Crow. Who are you?" Eris asked nervously as she stood up and looked around the lab.

"My name's Raphael, and these are my brothers Michelangelo and Donatello."

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Eris smiled in a trusting and friendly way. Then she noticed Leonardo floating in the tube.

After a moment she turned back to Donnie.

"Let me guess, this poor boy is now sadly brain dead?" Eris asked, her voice full of remorse. Donnie looked to the ground sadly.

"Yes, he attempted to commit suicide and punctured a lung."

Eris nodded before grabbing her bag. "I think I may have something that can help." She said and pulled out a vial full of glowing pink liquid.

"What is it?" Raph asked suspiciously.

"Something I invented in my lab, it is able to restore lost brain matter. It's why those men attacked me. This is the only vial I have left."

Mikey was getting excited.

"So that means we can get Leo back?!" The youngest beamed. Eris nodded and turned to Don. "I will only administer it with your permission."

Don thought about it for a second before nodding.

Eris smirked. She walked over to Leo's IV line and injected the serum into it, watching as it entered Leonardo's blood stream.

"It will take a few hours for the serum to kick in and I need to make sure that those men aren't at my lab."

Raphael nodded. Both he and Donnie escorted Eris Crow back up to the surface world, unaware of what they had done.
