Chapter 6: Distractions

Lena giddily followed Leo after the incident on the fire escape. She should have been scared or sad about everything that happened before, but she was excited. She was finally able to see their home! Lena smiled and started to skip. Suddenly, Leo stopped in his tracks making Lena bump into his shell. She fell on her butt while Leo stayed in his original position. He shushed her and looked around the corner. Lena knew the reporters had given up on finding her (After waiting a few hours on the fire escape) so she didn't know what Leo was looking for. Lena saw the turtles tense up and reach for his weapons. He unsheathed two swords, no katanas; Lena learned that from one of his text messages.

"Stay behind me, the Foot Clan is here," Leo whispered. She remembered their talk about them and how it was run by his father's brother. Lena saw Leo jump out from the corner and cut a black suited person in half. No wait, it was an android.

She saw him run forwards as sparks flew from his direction. Lena saw a black masked Foot Clan head roll over to her. She kicked it and continued to watch Leo from around the corner. Lena saw Leo panting with black suited robots around him. He stood in front of a strange fish person with robotic legs. She assumed it was a mutant by the way he talked to the turtle.

"You have gotten better, turtle. But, are you strong enough to fight me?" The fish questioned Leo in a mocking voice. She saw Leo tense up and cross his katanas in front of him. Lena frowned as the fish ran towards Leo.

Leo stretched out his leg as the fish came. The fish tripped over his leg and fell on his hands. She saw Leo smirk as the fish got up.

"You'll regret your decision," The fish growled as Leo clashed his katana at the fish's arms. The fish deflected the blow and kicked at Leo's head. Leo ducked and slid under his legs. Lena yawned and watched the fight with her eyes half closed. As much as she was excited about living with the turtles, this fight was going on forever. She needed to get Leo out of here before she fell asleep. Lena saw Leo kick at the fish's leg and the fish cripple to the ground. She took her chance and quickly walked over to Leo.

Lena grabbed the back of his carapace and pulled. Leo, obviously startled by the sudden motion, bent down and flipped Lena over his head. Lena flew in the air and landed on her spine. She hissed in pain as she felt a cold hand prop her into a sitting position.

"Oh god! Why are you here? You should be hiding! Did I hurt you?" Leo put his hands on her cheeks and looked at her with nervous eyes. She felt one of Leo's hands drop to his side as his other hand slid to the back of her head. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.

"I'll be fine. But we need to get out of here. I'm about to fall asleep," she opened her eyes and saw Leo snort at her argument. He got up and held out a hand while Lena gratefully took it.

"Aw, aren't you and your girlfriend so cute?" the fish got back up and made kissy faces at the two. Lena glared at the fish and kicked him in between his legs. She saw him wince in pain, but not like the usual reaction where the guys start rolling around on the floor screaming bloody murder.

But, she took this opportunity to grab Leo's hand and drag him to the other side of the street. Knowing the fish would come back to fight them, she kept running and turning corners. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she wanted to GET OUT OF THERE. After a while, Leo ran ahead of Lena, still holding hands, and dragged through alleys until they hit one with a man hole for the sewer. Lena put her hands on her knees and panted. She hasn't run like this in years. She watched as Leo opened the sewer cap and crawled into the hole.

"Come on," Leo motioned for her to come towards him. Lena walked to the hole and looked down. All she saw was darkness and she was pretty sure it was a long jump down. She backed away and shook her head.

"Leo, that looks dangerous. Is there another way down?" Lena asked the blue masked turtle. Only his head stuck out of the hole, he wasn't planning on his new friend being afraid of the sewers. Leo looked down the hole and sighed. It was a big jump, but his plan might work.

"We have to go down this way, that fish-brain is looking for us. But if you are willing, I will go down fist and guide you down. Is that okay?" Leo watched Lena with worried eyes. He saw her mouth open and close several times, like she was going to decline his offer. After a while she nodded and came back to the hole. Leo jumped down to the bottom and called up for her to come down.

She hesitated but turned around and stepped onto the first step. As soon as head was under the opening, she pulled the sewer cap over the top of the opening. Lena panicked in the darkness and froze. Leo saw she wasn't moving so he tried to reach up to get her. He wasn't able to reach her, so he stepped on the last step and grabbed her right foot. She jumped at the sudden movement but then felt Leo guide her foot to the next step. She relaxed as she got to the last step. Leo, unexpectedly, placed his hands on her hips.

"You have to jump from here and it a pretty big jump," Leo felt Lena tense up.

"It's ok. I got you," Leo felt her relax a bit and shift her weight. Lena reached out her left foot and jumped with her right leg. She felt Leo's grip on her hips tighten as she jumped. He held her in the air for a moment then put her gently on the ground. She turned around and smiled at the turtle. He put his hands on her shoulder and shook her.

"Was that so bad?" Leo stopped shaking the girl and smiled. Lena couldn't see his smile through the darkness but she knew it was there.

"I could have done that without you," Lena countered. She heard him laugh and remove his hands from her shoulders.

"No you couldn't have,"

"Yes I could,"

"It's too dark,"

"I still could have done it without you,"

"But you DIDN'T!" Leo poked Lena's stomach and started walking. Lena laughed like she hasn't in days. She ran up to the turtle and elbowed his side playfully.

"Admit it you were scared,"

"FINE! I was!" Lena yelled in Leo's ear. He rubbed her head making her hair stand up.

"Hey!" Lena pulled on Leo's mask straps. Leo laughed and put his hand on her face. He pushed her face away and ran ahead. Lena growled playfully and ran to his side. She made a face and waved the air in front of her nose.

"Jeez Leo! What did you have for dinner?" Lena poked the turtle's cheek.

"Lena, what do you think a sewer smells like?"

"Better than this," Lena muttered under her breath. Leo snorted and turned left. They came up to an old metro station. In front of the two there were turnstiles that looked about 50 years old. Lena looked around the turnstiles and saw the other three turtles sitting on a cement couch watching TV. Before she even thought about moving, Leo held out his arm to stop her.

"They have no idea that I've been communicating with you. Heck, they don't even know I've gone out," Leo whispered to Lena.

"What do they think you are doing? Leaving a fecal compaction in the toilet?" Lena whispered back. Leo bit his lip to stop his laughter. But he ended up bursting out laughing and walking backwards. He put his hand on his head and looked up at the ceiling.

"Fecal compaction? Oh my god, that's genius!" Leo laughed louder. Lena came towards him and patted his back. She laughed along with Leo until she was crying. Unfortunately for the two, the three brothers heard them laughing.

"Lena?"
