The sun slowly moved up Jade's body as she hummed from its warmth in her sleep. Gliding her head towards the new feeling she fluttered her eyes open from the bright light, slowly starting to focus on the large sliding windows before her and curtains tossing in the morning breeze. She pushed herself up as the soft sheet moved down her naked body; looking out towards the small balcony that over looked the water.

Leonardo sat on the wide wooden railing of the balcony in lotus position. His eyes were closed off from the beauty before him as the wind ran across his naked face. His gear lying in a chair beside the bed, Jade study him for a moment as a small smile crept over her face. She rarely saw him like this, exposed as much as he could be. She got from the bed, taking the sheet with her as she draped it over her body. She moved onto the balcony taking in a slow breath as Leonardo kept still, deep in his meditative state.

After last night he apologized over and over again for how he reacted. He lost sight of himself and his temper as she could only smile and apologize herself for having him worry. She knew it was a rash decision on her part, but she also knew she could handle herself. He meditated after their spat, as Splinter suggested and helped his mind slowly clam. The worries and anger that swelled within it relaxed and he was able to be himself once more.

She walked over to him putting her head down on his strong shoulder as she nuzzled her cheek against his skin. It took his body a moment to react as his head turned towards her, eyes still closed. She smiled pressing her lips softly against his shoulder, moving down his upper bicep as his eyes finally opened looking down into hers. They were soft, and his. Those specks of gold making themselves known as the sun came up in the distance. She ran her finger slowly down his arm as her other hand gripped the sheet at her breasts. He turned on the railing towards her as he took in the sigh of her, with a smile going over his face.

Her honey hair a tangled mess on her head as her skin almost glowed in the warm sun shinning down on it. He reached out towards her as she fell into his opened arms, pressing her body tightly to his.

"I like it out here…" She sighed happily as she looked over his shoulder at the shimmering water. He smiled and kissed her forehead keeping his arms around her body, his fingers slowly moving up and down her bare back as she let her breath slow moving her head from his shoulder to his chest. She kissed his skin, above his plastron softly as she pressed her forehead there for a moment, closing her eyes and taking in his scent. "It's quiet." She finished as he nodded his head, letting his cheek rest on her soft hair.

"We've handle the Shredder before…" Leo said as Jade lifted her head to look at him. "We've all grown and gotten better in our fighting, we'll be ready for him." He finished as she sighed placing her head back on his strong chest.

"I hope so…" She breathed as he held her body closer.

"Hey guys, getta load of this." Lexine said as she noticed Leonardo and Jade walking out of the hall, heading towards the kitchen. The eldest stopped and looked towards the large plasma television, as both of their eyes narrowed.

"Saki…" Jade breathed as Leo walked over to the couch sitting next to Raphael who spun his sais in his hand as Jacqueline sat in front of him on the floor.

"He's offering to clean up a lot of the buildings in the City, after coming back from his long journey to 'Japan'." Lexi said using air quotes as she sat on the edge of her seat, elbows on her knees. Donnie standing behind the couch as Fiona and Mikey shared an air chair, both with worried expressions.

"So, he's really back…" Fiona said as Jade came up next to the couch keeping her arms crossed. She nodded her head slowly as Leo growled getting from the couch and nudging her shoulder in passing. Raph furrowed his brow watching his brother disappear into the kitchen. Jade watched him as well before letting a sigh escape her lips.

"So this is what he does? Cleans the City of old mold ridden buildings, turning them into eco friendly playgrounds across the City, while looking for and killing innocents like us to use for his advantage?" Lexine said sitting back in her seat as she crossed her arms. Jacqueline lifted a glance over her shoulder at her smarty sister.

"He has money Lex." She shrugged before turning towards the TV. "He has politicians and now apparently the mayor in the palm of his grimy hands." She crossed her arms slowly over her chest. "So, yeah, he can get away with killin' us."

"He's not killing anyone, again!" Jade snapped as she turned towards the kitchen. Everyone turned towards her and then shared glances between one another.

"She get hit with the angry gas too?" Fiona said as Mikey chuckled.

"It's all settled Master." Hun said as he entered Saki's room.

"Good. And the girls?"

"We had word of them a few nights ago Master, but…Your Foot had some complications."

"My Foot were reprimanded for such complications." Saki said slowly before raising his dark eyes towards Hun. "However, I have yet to hear of any ramifications you have bestowed upon your Purple Dragons."

"M-my Dragons have…"

"Enough!" Saki said slamming his fists on his low wooden table. "You're sorry excuses are not what I want to hear Hun. I want results! I want to have those Turtles heads before my desk and their loyal girlfriends bodies spread on an examining table! Their father was stupid enough to think he could take me down, now they are following in his footsteps. They will not succeed! I do not care how powerful they believe themselves to be! You will bring them to me or you will be the head I seek! Do I make myself clear Hun?!"

"Yes, Master." Hun said slowly as he turned towards the door. Hun turned the corner taking out his cell phone and dialing a number. "Meet me at the docks, we take care of those freaks and their freak girlfriends tonight." The phone clapped shut as Hun's face twisting slowly into a smile.

"Follow him." Saki said looking back to his work as Karai nodded her head with a smirk.

"Have you got an antidote ready?" Frank asked Ms Albarn as the others followed close behind in the long white hallway. She shook her head with a sigh fixing her glasses on her nose.

"No Sir, however we have found out what is wrong with Jade." She said whispering slightly as Jade fastened her pace to walk beside her.

"What's wrong with Jade?" She asked in the third person as she furrowing her brow. Frank turned towards her with a smile.

"Your second power dear." Ms Albarn said handing her the paper. Jade looked it over for a moment before rolling her eyes and handing it back. "It means that you're there, you have the right mind set it's just not fully developed inside of you as of yet." She sighed as Jade crossed her arms.

"Well, let's get started then." She said walking towards the training room. Jac arched a brow slowly with a smile as she walked past Frank and Ms. Albarn to catch up with her.

"I love it when you're all intense." She quipped, punching her older sister on the arm.

Joshua and Gregory were in the training room, working out their powers as Greg watched Jade walk into the room as past them without a word, her face straight and focused. He furrowed his brow slightly looking down the hall from the large window, noticing Leonardo and Raphael were no where in sight.

"Hey Jackie, what's goin' on?" He asked as Jac smirked nodding towards her sister.

"She's all focused." She chuckled as Josh smirked looking towards Jade.

"Oh yeah? On what?"

"She's all 'bout learnin' her new power." Jac said as the two red heads watched the older girl with her arms out focusing on moving an object just out of her reach. She sighed getting more aggravated, pushing her honey hair out of her face.

"Maybe we should drop a simulation of your fear so you can have something different to focus on. Show you're emotions…" Greg offered looking down at his hands as he slowly raised them to look into Jade's. She sighed meeting his as she nodded her head. He smirked. "I really do apologize Jade. It's just…"

"So, do we need someone to turn it on from the observation room or can I just focus on it?" She asked looking up towards the empty room as he followed her gaze.

"Uh, no…you're uh…powerful enough that you can just focus." He said going along with her ignoring him.

"Alright good." She said crossing her arms.

"I'll go up there and stop it if you need me too." He said walking towards Jac and Josh as they followed.

Jade closed her eyes slowly as the room turned into the darkened roof tops of New York City. She smirked to herself as she noticed the Foot's shadows move instantly. She turned her head noticing more, feeling them around her as she reached out with her powers over the covered roof tops around her. She shifted a foot forward as they came at her. She stopped them mid-jump as she threw their bodies into the air beside her, knocking more down as they fell. She could feel their breathing down her neck even though they stood some feet away.

She turned knocking them back as she threw her arm out, twisting her torso as she knocked more back that tried to attack from behind. She felt her power rushing through her vines as her smile spread further over her face. Her skin felt warmer as the cold wind brushed over it.

"Jade, you've gotten better." She heard his deep echoing voice say from behind her. She turned quickly, raising her head high as his shinning metal glistened off the moonlight. She crossed her arms slowly over her chest as her feet spread, taking a stance.

"And you've gotten sloppy." Jade said narrowing her eyes slightly as the Shredder threw his head back in a laugh.

"You're just as foolish as your father."

"Oh no, I'm more foolish. He wasn't able to succeed. I know I can." She said keeping her voice straight and her eyes tight on the red ones staring back. He tired to take a step forward as she smirked. "Not so tough when I control everything around you."

"You control nothing girl!"

"No?" Jade turned her back on him as she focused her mind, closing her eyes. Her hair turned slowly turned a dark brown, then black as her skin became a silky completion, lighter than her bronzed, sun kissed tone. Her frame becoming smaller than her normally curvy shape. She opened her eyes slowly as the Foot before her dropped to their knees in a bow.

Jacqueline watched as her eyes grew to the form her sister slowly took. She turned towards Greg as he furrowed his brow turning over towards her.

"She can change forms…" He breathed as Jac arched her brow shoving him.

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"She can take people's forms." He shrugged. "She-She can change into any shape or person she wishes by focusing on that person. I-I thought that it was not achievable. I've tired for years and…Wow…" He said crossing his arms as a smile slowly went to his face. Jac furrowed her brow turning back towards her sister.

"Jesus…"

The Foot around her ran from the roof tops as she felt the minimal threat around her diminish completely. She turned back towards the Shredder as he growled coming at her. She took the katana from her hold on her back, stopping his metal armored blades on his forearm. She shoved him back, throwing her arm out as she stopped his body. His boots sliding over the cement as she smirked walking towards him as his body stopped falling back over the roof tops ledge. She stopped him, holding him before her in mid-air as she turned back to her normal body, her honey hair falling into her face from the warm summer wind.

"You're not going to win this time." She said in a happy tone as his eyes widened as she let him go, his body falling from the building in a low scream.

Donatello and Lexine sat in front of a large computer desk as they ran over more files of the turtle's DNA. She sighed pushing her glasses from her face as she pinched the bridge of her nose from the bright lights of the computer screen causing a pain in her temple. Donnie sat back in his chair in a sigh, raising his hands as they braced behind his head stretching a bit as he stared at the files before him.

"I can't figure it out." He said as she yawned nodding her head.

"Well maybe…" She stopped as she felt her pocket vibrating. She took out her cell phone as April's name flashed on her screen. She furrowed her brow flipping open her phone.

"Ape? What's up?" She asked as a smile came and went from her face. "Wait, slow down…What happened?" She stayed silent for a moment as Donnie turned towards her trying to listen to the high pitched rambling woman on the other end of the phone. "Are you sure it's them? Where's Casey?" She went quiet once more as she nodded her head, her brow furrowing in concentration. "O-Okay. Alright, yeah. We'll be there." She sighed as she clapped her phone shut looking at Donnie.

"What happened?"

"Dragons. Angel informed April and Casey that they were coming to her shop. They're looking for us." Lexi said in a grimace as Donnie narrowed his eyes getting from his chair.

"We need to find the others." He said running from the lab as Lexi followed grabbing his bo staff that he left behind in his haste.

Jade and Jacqueline walked with Greg and Josh down the hallway that Donnie and Lexine ran down in the opposite direction. Lexine grabbed her older sister's arm telling her what was happened as Jade and Jacqueline narrowed their eyes and nodded their heads as they followed their smarty sister and Donatello to find the others.

"Well, you're going to need transportation." Greg said running along side Jade as she shook her head.

"There's no need." Lexi said over her shoulder as she nearly ran beside Donnie. "We have the Battle Shell. Donnie fixed it up." She smirked as Greg furrowed his brow.

"I thought you all drove that broken down van…?"

"That's April's." Jac chimed in.

"Yeah, the Battle Shell is much faster." Lexi smirked as Jac chuckled.

"Especially when someone that knows how to drive it is driving." She said with a smile thinking of her red clad boyfriend.

"I'm driving." Donnie said as they went to the lab where Leonardo and Raphael sat. They furrowed their brows in sync to one another, getting up and running out of the room. They all made their way through the white hallways to the underground that lead to the house.

"Mikey, Fiona, let's go." Leo said as he ran inside the house standing inside the doorway to the living room. They both turned and whined as he sighed. "NO! We don't have time for this. Get up now! April is in trouble!" He growled as Mikey jumped to his feet pulling Fiona up quickly as he followed Leo to the Battle Shell.

Donnie parked the Battle Shell in the alleyway beside April's shop as everyone jumped out. Leonardo and Jade ran towards the doors as Jade opened it with her powers, unlatching all the locks and deadbolts on the other side. Leo slid a katana from his shell as Jade held her hand up in waiting for something to jump out at her.

"April?" Leo yelled into the darkness as they got nothing back.

"I-I don't feel her." Jade whispered as she caught eyes with Leonardo as he furrowed his brow walking further into the darkness.

"Do you feel anything else?" He asked softly as she shook her head before answering.

"No. It's, there's no one." She sighed as she turned back towards Jac and Raph itching to walk in behind them. Jade flipped on the lights with her powers as the others walked in behind Raph and Jac.

"So what, April was pulling our leg?" Fiona asked as Jade shook her head.

"No, the Dragons are planning something. It's just…Where are they?"

"Maybe you don't…" Lexi started as Jade shook her head.

"No, even if my powers were lacking I'd be able to feel them a mile away. They're sloppy and make it known."

"Trap?" Raph asked turning towards Leo as they had their shells together, Raphael slowly slipping his sais from his belt.

"Trap." Leo retorted slowly sliding his other katana from his shell.

"Wait here." Jade said narrowing her eyes as she walked towards the front of the store. She stepped outside as the bell rang on the door. She looked across the street looking towards the roof tops as she noticed nothing, felt nothing but the summer wind on her damp skin. "This doesn't make any sense." She growled to herself as she turned towards the shop building looking up at April's apartment. Her lights were on. Jade furrowed her brow and walked back into the store. She opened the back door, that lead to April's apartment, as the others followed close behind.

Jade felt something as soon as she put her foot on the first step. She took in a breath as she pushed her feet to take two at a time running up the stairs and swinging opened April's apartment door.

"They got her." She breathed as Leo looked over her shoulder into the apartment that lay in disarray before them.
