Mystery from His Past
Ch 4
She ran and hugged him. He smiled at her and asked.
"Are you alright Angel?"
She smiled and responded.
"Yea just a little shaken up; after seeing you use your powers on Karai. How was that possible and then the markings just disappeared!"
Leo looked as they drank their milkshakes.
"Angel I turned 18 today and got my powers. You won't see them too often; just when I have no other way to defeat my enemies."
She smiled and sipped her shake. Then he smiled and sipped his shake. He heard his shell cell ring and answered.
"Hey April. Leo here wuz. You sound like you seen a ghost."
She sighed and responded.
"No it's not that Leo; she survived."
He scratched his head and asked.
"Who survived? April what are you talking about?"
She took a deep breath and sighed.
"Lotus; Leo she just came out of a 5 year coma. The problem is she has no memory except being my friend."
He paused and stared into the sky.
"How? I saw her spirit enter the urn and she died in my arms."
April responded.
"I know Leo, but I swear it's her. We have another problem though."
He sipped his shake and shook his head.
"Ok what other problem do we have?"
She took a deep breath and answered.
"She is Karai's twin sister. Oh no Leo she's in here and they're talking. What are we going to do? Didn't you say that Lotus is a lethal ninja and the only one capable of defeating you in battle? If Karai convinces her to join the foot we'll all be in grave danger!"
He laughed.
"Why are you saying that? April listen to me. My brothers and I competed in the Battle Nexus. Michelangelo was the Battle Nexus champion twice and I was once. Besides all 4 of us are mystic ninjas even if Lotus joins her sister she won't have a chance against us and especially not against me. Calm down will ya?"
She sighed.
"But, Leo I was thinking if she sees you again she'll remember how close you two were and turn against Karai."
He spit his shake out and choked. Angel pat his back and asked.
"Leo are you ok now? I'm going to get you a bottle of water. I'll be right back."
He caught his breath and answered.
"Are you nutz? I'm a huge mutant turtle; she sees me and she'll scream! Please drop it already and don't mention me to her at all! She has no memory; and her sister is a cunning ninja and will persuade her to join her side! This conversation has ended; I don't care if she's alive my main concern is my family's safety! Whatever we had 5 years ago is no more and I'm not going to try to revive it either!"
He hung up his shell cell and buried his head in his hands. Then he put his shell cell I his belt and sat in deep thought. Angel exited and handed him a bottle of water.
"Here you go Leo. This should wash down whatever was caught in your throat that caused you to choke. My hand hurts from hitting your shell."
He looked up and took the water from her and took a sip.
"Thank you Angel. That's what I needed. Come on let's head back to the lair."
She ran to the bathroom and called Raph's shell cell. He heard it ring and answered.
"Yo Angel; Raph here wuz?"
She sighed and responded.
"Leo and I are heading back to the lair. Are you guys almost finished with the decorations for his party?"
He looked and answered.
"Yea Angel we just finished. See you in a while."
She responded.
"Ok Raph; Angel out see you soon."
She hung up her shell cell and met Leo. They both left and headed toward the lair.
In the meantime April entered Lotus's room and saw Karai. Lotus entered the bathroom and Karai approached April with a sly smile across her face.
"See Ms. O'Neil our bond as sisters is stronger! Be sure to warn Leonardo, his brothers, and their rat master. When Lotus has gained her memory we will destroy them together for taking our father from us! Make sure Leonardo is aware he'll have no chance of turning my sister against me! She'll never remember how strong her love was for that green freak!"
She gulped as she exited and headed back to the lair. She arrived and Don looked at her with a concerned face.
"April what's wrong? You seem really scared. What happened at the hospital?"
She began to cry on him and he held her.
"I have a message for you guys from Karai."
Mike, Raph, and Casey ran to her side. Casey held April as they looked at her with concern. Then she began.
"She said when Lotus gets her memory back they'll destroy you all to avenge their father. She also said even if Leo tried he wouldn't turn her against Karai because their bond as sisters is strong! She meant every word! What are we going to do?"
Leo entered and ran to April.
"April calm down please! Don't worry about us; we'll be fine please stop crying!
When they attack we'll deal with it until then don't think about it right now!"
She nodded her head and hugged him. He wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. Then she went by Casey who held her by the waist.
Raph called Leo to the kitchen. When he entered his mouth dropped after they yelled.
"Surprise Leo; happy 18th birthday!"
He smiled.
"Wow you really didn't have to. No wonder I was rushed out earlier you guys are awesome! Thank you so much!"
They all smiled as the party got under way. Michelangelo showed off his skills when Casey challenged him to a dance off. They all laughed and enjoyed the party. It was time for presents and cake now. Leo sat and opened his gifts with a smile across his face. Usagi and Gen entered through the portal and Leo hugged them both. Mike glared at Gen. He looked and smiled.
"Michelangelo how ya been?"
He crossed his arms.
"Fine until I discovered that you took my Silver Sentry comics! Do you have any idea how long it took me to put that collection together?"
He handed him a big package and he opened it. He saw his comics organized in a case with a key attached. He smiled and hugged Gen. Then they all sat and ate ice cream and cake.
