I had to rewrite the end of this chapter, I went back and read it and found that it was horrible to put it simply. So sorry for the rewrite but I think everyone will enjoy this ending better.
POV: Raphael
None of us spoke a word as we made our back to the lair. Looking at Donnie, who was carrying the girl, I saw that she still hadn't woken up since we had escaped. I sighed and rubbed my head, still not able to wrap my head around what happened back there. I…she…we could have died.
"Raph." I jump when I feel someone touch my shoulder. Looking up I see Leo giving me a concerned look. "Are you okay?" I shook his hand off and nodded.
"We should get inside." Donnie told us, as he led the way into the lair. I looked at Mikey, who has been eerily quiet but I didn't have the energy in me to mess with him so I sighed and crossed my arms. Looking at the girl, I could see her head moving, like a bobble head, with every step my brother took.
"Hey guys." April called out. I look up to see her making her way towards us from the kitchen. Her smile faded into a look of concern as she rushed over to us. "Oh my God! What happened?"
"April. Go get Master Splinter please." Leo spoke up. She nodded at him and quickly went to find Splinter. We laid the girl down on the couch; Mikey was instantly kneeling beside her, holding her limp hand in his.
"Boys? What is it?" Splinter asked worry laced in his voice, as he made his way out of the dojo. Sensei made his way over and when he saw the girl he gave us questioning looks. He walked down into the pit and stood in front of her, brushing some hair out of face.
"Who is this?" Master Splinter asked, straight to the point. He looked around to each of us, waiting for an answer.
"This is Hamato Michael's daughter Sensei." Leo explained. Master Splinter looked shock to say the least and for the first time in my life Sensei didn't know what to say.
"Where is my brother?" He asked. I looked to the ground not wanting to be the one to answer. Glancing over I saw my brothers pretty much doing the same thing.
"Answer me!" He ordered us harshly.
"He gave himself up to the Krang." Leo whispered. Splinter's face hardened.
"Tell me what happened."
Flashback- No POV
"I'm sorry." Michael whispered to his daughter. He picked up her limp body and hugged her to his chest.
"Why did you do that? We have to get out of here now!" Leo yelled. Michael looked at the ninja in blue and shook his head.
"I can't. I made a promise to the Krang and I intend to keep it." He told the brothers. "Take my daughter and get out of here." Michael said, he held out Autumn to Leo, hoping for him to take her.
"Krang!" Mikey yelled. In that same instant blaster canons started firing from the other end of the roof. The turtles and Michael, who was clutching his daughter tightly, dove for cover behind a large helicopter. The turtles reached for their weapons, getting ready for a fight.
"Please! Take her and run! They won't follow after they have me." Michael explained as he tried to push her into Leo's arms. Leo looked at Michael and back over to the Krang. Finally he shook his head.
"We are not leaving until you come with us." Leo told the older man in a very leader like voice, leaving no room for arguments. With that Leo gave a silent signal to his brothers and they all rushed out. The fight didn't last long but the brothers knew that there would be more to come.
Turning back around they saw Michael standing at the edge of the forty story building, holding his daughter out away from him. He turned to the ninjas with a look of pure sadness. Michael stretched his arms out even more.
"Wait! Don't!" Raph yelled. Michael at the same moment let his arms drop away from Autumn and her body started falling to the hard, cold, unforgiving ground. Raph without a second thought jumped right after her. The wind bit at his face and made his eyes water but they also burned with determination. Falling faster, he grabbed one of Autumn's limp arms and pulled her into his chest. He closed his eyes and waited for them both to stop falling.
Leo quickly shot a zip line to a building across the way and ordered Mikey to go first and to us his chain to catch their brother and the girl. Mikey nodded and using one hand secured himself on the zip line and the other getting his chains ready. He quickly went across and in the same motion snatched Raph out of the air.
With a snap, Raph stopped falling and started flying head first into a brick building. Quickly twisting around, still holding Autumn to him he braced himself, his feet and legs took the impact and using one arm climbed his way up to the top but thankfully his brothers helped pull the two of them up.
Shaking off the chain he laid the girl down on the roof. Her long brown, curly hair was a mess of tangles and knots. Her red colored jacket, along with her jeans were torn everywhere, she looked worse for wear to be honest. Donatello kneeled down beside her and looked her over.
"How is she Donnie?" Leo asked. The genius stood back up and looked at his brothers.
"She's fine for the most part. Her pulse is fine, with just a few bruises and cuts but she's okay. What should we do with her Leo?" He asked his leader and older brother. The rest looked at him, waiting for an answer.
"We should bring her back to the lair, if Michael was actually willing to risk her life he must have not want the Krang to get her. And besides I'm sure Splinter will want to see her." The three younger brothers nodded. Donnie, without being asked, gently picked Autumn up and they all made their way back to the lair.
POV: Leonardo
"Are you sure that it was Michael and not some imposter?" Splinter asked, looking at all four of us. I looked at my brothers, that thought never even crossing my mind.
"I'm sure he was Michael." We all look at Mikey, who was still holding the girl's hand. "He was fighting like you Sensei. It was obvious that you had the same teacher 'cause he was doing moves that only our family knows."
"Mikey…when did you do you…" Donnie mumbled.
"Are you sure Michelangelo?" Master Splinter asked. Mikey looked up at him, still holding the girl's hand.
"I saw his eyes Master Splinter." Our littlest brother told him. Master Splinter and Mikey locked eyes for a few moments, finally Sensei nodded. Taking a few short steps Sensei sat down beside the girl and placed her head into his lap.
"I trust you my sons and I am glad that you brought Autumn back here." He told us.
"Autumn, Sensei?" I asked. He gently brushed her hair out of her peaceful looking face and smiled down at her.
"Yes, that is her name." My father told me.
"How are you sure that she is Michael's daughter Sensei?" Donnie asked. I looked over and saw that he had a look on his face that meant that he thinking deeply, not that it wasn't uncommon.
"I know Donatello because she looks like him." Sensei stated simply.
"…daddy…" Mumbled Autumn on Sensei's lap. I watched as her eyes fluttered open, showing the most beautiful eyes of bright blues and greens mixed together perfectly. She closed her eyes once more and then looked up at sensei, softly smiling.
"I see I'm dreaming about you again." She whispered. Autumn reached up and softly touched Sensei's cheek. As soon as her hand touched him though, her face paled. She weakly pushed herself up and tried to get away but Mikey held her hand tighter. She stared down at him, acting like she wasn't sure what to say.
"Hi Autumn, I'm Michelangelo." He spoke softly and smiled at her. Autumn took her eyes off of him and looked around the lair.
"Where's my dad?" She asked in a whisper. We all looked at each other, not sure what to say.
"I am sorry to say this Autumn but your father has been captured by the Krang." Autumn looked at Splinter, trying to understand what he said.
"The Krang? You mean those robot things?" She asked, her voice still hoarse. Splinter nodded at her.
"But that's impossible..." Autumn mumbled. She glared up at Sensei and growled at him. "You're lying…you did something to him." She ripped her hand away from Mikey, the hurt look on his face quite obvious.
On shaky legs Autumn pushed herself up but didn't get that far before she collapsed, Mikey was beside her in an instant and helped her stand. She glared at him and tried to push him away but that only made him stand that much closer. Autumn's body went slack as she blacked out again.
"What's wrong with her Sensei?" I asked, as I walked over and slung her other limp arm over my shoulder.
"The pressure point Michael pushed makes the victim unresponsive for a few hours and when they do wake up they can't control their own body. If this person also pushes themselves to much they'll faint, as you all saw just now." He explained.
"What should we do with her?" Raph asked.
"Leonardo, Michelangelo take her to the spare bedroom beside April's." He told us. Carefully as possible Mikey and I made our way to the other end of the lair. The room Sensei had in mind was just like any of our bedrooms, except it was bare.
The only things in it was a small bed, a night light, one dresser and the walls were a dank grey color but it was all we had. We gently laid her down on the dusty bed, I turned to leave but noticed that Mikey wasn't following. He was sitting on the bed beside her, once again holding her hand.
"Mikey?"
"Go on Leo, I'll stay here with her." I nod and close the door behind me. Walking back to the others I saw that everyone was sitting in silence. Donnie looked up at me and noticed that Mikey wasn't with me.
"Mikey decided to stay with her until she wakes up." I answer my brother's unspoken question. Sensei stood up without a word and started walking towards the dojo.
"Sensei?" I call. He looked back at us and sighed.
"I'm going to meditate for a bit, please do not disturb me." He tells us as he closed the dojo doors.
"Well what do you think we should do Leo?" Donnie asked. I look down at him, then to Raph and April.
"I think the best thing we can do right now is to wait, so just go about like normal and we'll figure out the rest later." They all nod. Donnie and April get out their lap tops, while Raph goes over to the games. I turned on the t.v. hoping that Space Heroes was on.
POV: Autumn
I slowly open my eyes and once again find myself in a different place.
"Hi again." I look to my right and see the same turtle holding my hand, just like last time. He's smiling at me and grasps my hand tightly in his. I try to strike him in the side with my other hand but he caught my wrist and held it loosely.
"Where am I?" I asked, glaring.
"You're in your room." He smiles. "I know it's not the best but it's all we've got."
I try to sit up but the mutant gently pushes me back down. Looking up at him I see his eyes for the first time and they are the brightest, prettiest blue I've ever seen.
"Don't try to move. You'll only pass out again." He tells me. I nod but I hate that I'm so helpless.
"Who are you?" I ask, still glaring but failing terribly. It's hard to stay angry at someone who is so nice and friendly.
"My name is Michelangelo. It's nice to meet you Autumn." He tells me with a warm smile. And if I didn't know better I would say that he was trying to be charming. I finally look away from him to the room I was in and I had to admit it was a plain room but it was nothing that some paint or posters couldn't fix. That's when I remember why I'm there in the first place.
"Is it true?" I ask, without looking at him.
"Is what true?" Michelangelo asks. Before I can even say anything I can already fell tears coming to my eyes. But I bite my lip, trying to keep my head.
"About my dad being captured by those robot things?" I yell. We both sit in silence for a little while, I already knew the answer he was going to give me but that didn't stop the stab of pain in my chest hurt any less.
"Yes. It's true." He tells me. The tears I was holding back fell down my face. I felt strong arms wrap around me, using all my strength I pushed the mutant off of me.
"Stop…" I whispered, trying to keep him away.
"Autumn…I…"
"Get out! It's your fault that my dad isn't here!" I yelled, it sounded so cruel and I knew without looking that I had hurt him. Michelangelo didn't say anything else to me, the click of the door closing sounded so loud in my ears it made me cry that much harder.
