Chapter 6: The Morning After
Leo woke up before his alarm clock. He turned it off and let out a yawn and walked out his bedroom. He heard a noise in the kitchen. His first instinct was to duck low and quietly exit his room. Until he sniffed the air. Is that eggs? He thought to himself.
He went into the main room his jaw almost dropped. It was clean. The pizza boxes stacked neatly to the side and there magazines and comics stacked by the TV. The arcade games wiped clean. The floors swept and mopped. He never seen the lair so clean before. He walked around and took it all in and stepped inside expecting Mikey to be making breakfast only to find Allie humming and moving her hips to whatever she was humming. Leo watched her then slowly approached her.
"Morning Allie-" he started to say as he touched her shoulder. Then she tensed and spun her fist ready to strike she pulled her arm back and her fist flew toward his face.
Leo caught it just before she hit him. Her eyes glowing an eerie mutagen green. Leo's eyes widen in shock. Her face looked so serious like she was ready to fight. She blinked a few times her eye color turned back to a turquoise blue.
"Leo…" she gasped. "Don't come at my back you scared me." She pulled her hand away.
"Your eyes…why where they green?" he dropped his hand and looked at her.
"I made you guys eggs, hope you like scrambled." She turned and started to move some eggs around and put some on five plates.
"You didn't answer my question." He pointed out.
She set down plates at each seat. Then turned and grabbed a pot and a small Japanese cup and poured some tea into it and set in on a tray. "You know you have a cat made out of ice cream in your freezer?"
"Yes I do." Leo sits down and looks at his plate. "How do I know you didn't poison this?"
She looks down and takes a fork and takes some eggs and eats it raising an eye brow. "Yeah because I will poison myself right? I made the eggs from the same pan. And no I didn't poison your Sensei. I believe he is smarter than to fall for some poison in his drink." She rolls her eyes and leaves the room.
Allie walks down the tunnel to the dojo were Master Splinter's room. She looked around the dojo at how beautiful it is. She smiled at the tree then walked to the doorway that separates the dojo from Splinter's room.
She knocked lightly on the wood of the doorway. "Ummm...Master Splinter? I made you some tea?"
Master Splinter comes though the door and smiles. He takes to cup from the tray and drinks from the small cup."Thank you it delicious." he tells her and she smiles politely.
"You're welcome."
He takes another sip and walks to the kitchen. Allie follows him. All the turtles are there eating. There is now orange is poured in five cups. She smiles warmly.
"I see someone found the orange juice." She takes a seat between Leo and Donnie.
"How did you get the time make all of this and clean up? This isn't one of your illusions is it?" Donnie said between bites of eggs.
"I was up early and thought it would be nice to clean up and cook." she answers with a slight blush.
"Well this tastes amazing. Where did you learn to cook like this?" Leo asked.
"Oh there was a cook book up there and I grabbed it and looked up the simplest breakfast food. It's nothing really." she said with a blush.
Raph looked at her as she ate. She seemed in a better mood then last night. He never expected her to clean and cook for them. The thought warmed his heart. She looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.
"What you have gas or something?" she asked. It sounded more curious then rude and it made everyone look at him. The comment caught him by surprise.
"I…no!" he felt his cheeks blush a bit and he went back to eating.
She went back to eating and finished then washed everyone's dishes. It was quiet for a moment and the Leo turned to her.
"Would you like to see us train after breakfast?" he asked her politely.
"Sure. I will love to." she smiled.
She watched them all practice and watched interested. Soon it was time for them spar with each other. She watched them do flips and dodge attacks. Master Splinter then told them to spar all at once. Last one standing wins.
Each turtle took a corner and readied their weapons. They started to circle the room. Mikey moved first attacking Leo trying to hit him with his nun chucks. Donnie followed suit but Raph blocked him just as Allie thought Donnie had the upper hand the dojo door opened.
"Hey guys." A girl with short orange red hair in a ponytail came in with a bag. Behind her was a guy in a hockey mask painted to look like a skull. Allie gasped.
"April?" Donnie said with surprise. Raph knocked him with the hilt of his sai and Donnie went down.
"Hey April. Hey Casey." Raph said in a cool manner. Leo came after him when he tripped Mikey.
Allie watched Raph and Leo go at each other. They looked equal in skill. Then when Raph went to hit him Leo ducked then hit his stomach with the hilt of his sword knocking him off balance Leo hit him again and he went down. Raph growled.
"What up guys." Mikey smiled.
"I got the clothes you asked for and a couple of other things." April shows them a bag.
"So where is the mutant?" Casey said looking around then sees her. She looks at him.
"Something happened to you face?" she asked bluntly.
"No…I wear this 'cause masks are cool." He lifts it up to show his dark eyes and a smile that showed some missing teeth.
"You a normal humans?" she started at the two of them.
"Yeah…" Casey stopped walking toward her tilting his head curiously. "You don't look like a mutant.
"Well you don't look quite so normal yourself." she said dryly
Everyone stood quiet then April cleared her throat. The she walks up to her with a friendly smile. Allie seemed to relax a bit. Her wings widened a little showing them to April and Casey who both stood there and gapped.
"Whoa cool! Can you fly?" Casey walked up to her and she tensed up her wings closed a bit.
"Yeah…" she answered.
April touched her wings and smiled and looked at them. "They're beautiful." She said with a smile.
She seemed to relax a degree and April held up the bag to her. "There are PJs and some clothes. I also put a toothbrush and a brush. There are some other things in there as well."
Allie looked at April with shock. "But…I thought Donnie only asked you to bring you some spare clothes…"
"I know but I figured you might need these also." April smiled and handed her the bag.
"Thank…thank you." she looked up at her with the most grateful look Raph has seen.
"It no trouble at all." she said and stood up.
Raph looked at them side by side. Allie was at least a good three inches shorter then April. Raph watched as she talked to April. She looked more relaxed then when she and Casey walked in. He smiled at them then he heard Leo say something to him.
"What was that Leo?" he looked at his brother who gave his a strange look and repeated himself.
"Training is over. I'm gonna go watch some TV are you coming?"
"Oh yeah lets go."
Everyone started to file out the room when Raph saw Allie put her hand on Leo's shoulder. She wasn't looking at him.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked him
Raph stopped by the door. It seemed he was the only on that saw this. He looked between the two of them. Leo let her hand drop from his shoulder. She peeked up at him as Leo turned to his brother sensing his presence.
"We will be with you guys in a few minutes." Leo said as his brother looked back and forth between them. Leo could see in his eyes he didn't like the fact that they will be alone and he couldn't understand why. Maybe Raph didn't trust her still. But then again he was the one that brought her here. But, that doesn't mean he trusted her. He knew from experience. Raph walked out the room. Then Leo closed the door.
"What is it you want to talk about Allie?" he asked.
"After seeing you guys train I realized something." She said not meeting his eyes.
Leo looked at her waiting for her to talk.
"I don't know how to fight. The only reasons I survived out there was using my powers and staying in the shadows. I survived on sheer luck." she looked at him and he waited for her to finish.
"I want you to teach me how to be a ninja." Her face was serious and determined.
"What?" Leo was a bit surprised
"Train me to be a ninja." She repeated looking him in the face.
"Allie, me and my brothers have been training for years to be ninjas I don't know if…" he looked into her eyes and saw a bit of hurt in them.
"…I need to learn how to defend myself…I want to fight the Kraang as much as anyone of you…"
"Why?" he asked confused. Most mutants just stood away from the Kraang and lived with their mutations but her…she wanted to help take down the Kraang.
"I have my reasons." she said with a smirk.
"Reasons you must explain to me in order for me to help you. You been hiding things and I wanna know what they are." Leo's face was determined.
They looked at each other for a long time not saying anything. Finally Allie spoke. She let out a chuckle.
"How about this? You train me and I will tell you when I am ready ok?" she smirks and holds out a hand.
"…You have a deal but you better tell me soon." He takes it and shakes her hand. Her eyes soften.
Then to Leo's surprise she starts to float. Leo looks at her wide eyes. "You're floating."
"O-oh." She blushes to see her wings flapping and her height is the same as Leo's. "Sorry. I am just happy that you are willing to train me."
"I just have one question though…" Leo asks as she closes her wings a bit as hits the floor with ease.
"Yeah?" she asks and looks up at him questioningly.
She waited unsure of what he might ask. She really didn't want to answer any questions about herself yet. She felt sure she could trust him and she already felt a connection with him. He reminded her of someone. The thought of that alone almost made her wince at the pain of it. No I will not think of it. She thought and waited for Leo to ask his question.
"Why did you ask me to train you?" his voice was sincere
"You are focused and calm. You are one of the best out of all your brothers. You are the leader and…I like you." she said with a shrug.
"L-like me?" Leo blushed and looked at her in shock "Allie we just meet and-" he began.
"Leo I don't mean it like that. I mean it as in…you remind me of someone." she gave him her best smile. Inside she wanted to cry.
Leo still didn't look as sure as he looked down and thought about it. She looked at him and smiled.
"Trust me…I can tell someone else has your heart as much as you want to deny it." She saw his eyes widen in shock. She realized she said too much. "We should go met the guys before they think I slit your throat or something." She joked and bumped his arm and kept walking.
Leo followed her wondering what made her think that he liked someone. What did she have to hide? And who did he remind her of?
