The sky lit up by the millions of stars over head as Lexine and Donatello sat out by the lake. He had taken an old blanket from the barn, and set it up on the dock for both of them to sit. She leaned back on her hands, her head on his shoulder as she watched the stars twinkled over head.

"Life should always be this perspicuous." She said softly as he turned his head towards her as her face remained tilted upward at the sky. He leaned back a little to admire her beautiful neck and newly tanned skin in the moonlight. "I just wish we didn't have to face it all again. The fighting and blood, I hate it." She sighed dropping her head, her chin almost resting on her chest as he wrapped an arm around the small of her back. He kissed the side of her head softly as she took in a slow breath in and out. Closing her eyes for a moment before letting them drift back to the clear night sky. "There's nothing we can do to prevent it. It's all going to happen…" She sighed as he closed his eyes, placing his forehead down on hers. She moved her body, her chest brushing along his plastron as he leaned back to lie on his shell. She smiled kissing his lips as they went down, laying her head on his shoulder as he took his hands and placed them behind his head.

"At least we'll be prepared." He said softly as she felt the vibrations of his voice through his chest. She placed her chin on his shoulder looking up at him as he tilted his head to look down at her. The wind lightly blew her blonde hair across her face as he smiled, pushing it back behind her ear and holding it there. She smiled back pouting her lips into a soft kiss as they landed on his wrist.

Jacqueline hugged her arms around herself as the wind blew across her bare shoulders only covered in a thin tank top, as she leaned against the old chipped railing of the porch. She let her eyes wonder the skies as she smiled seeing a shooting star stream over head.

"Raph…" She whispered taking a look over her shoulder as he opened one eye from the swing and looked at her. "Make a wish."

"Wha, why?" He asked groggily as she rolled her eyes and then closed them turning back towards the sky.

"You're not fun." She said with a smile making a silent wish to herself. He watched her for a moment before pushing himself up on his feet and walking up behind her. He ran his large hands, down hers starting at her shoulders and cupping around her waist as she smiled leaning back against him. "See, they always come true." She smiled turning around giving him a small kiss as he returned it.

"Are you nervous 'bout what's gonna happen?" He asked her in a low voice as she sighed letting her finger tips wonder up and down his good arm. She shrugged slightly tilting her head back up to look at the sky.

"I'm not sure really. I mean, we'a gonna need to face it soona or lata so I'm thinkin' once you get betta we'a all gonna hafta put on a smilin' face, grin and bare it. It's gonna happen eitha way." She shrugged again as he nodded his head before placing his chin to rest on her shoulder from behind her. "I just want it ta be ova." She sighed.

Fiona picked hay out of her hair as she turned to look around the hay loft her and Mikey found themselves in after dinner. She couldn't bare not be with him any longer and at dinner she couldn't keep her hands to herself under the table. He'd squirm away from her touch and try to laugh off his knee smacking against the underside, saying that he felt a bug as she kept a smile on her face eating her meal.

She found her shirt on the blanket that he laid out for them as she went to put it on. She smiled feeling his hands run themselves down her arms slowly tugging her body backwards into his.

"Everyone is probably wondering where we are." She giggled as he kissing down her neck.

"So?" He said tugging her body back to his again. She giggled more as he clapped a hand over her mouth hearing someone come into the barn. He pulled her back with him in the shadows as the sound of her muffled giggled echoed around them.

"Leo, I understand that you're just looking out for me and my sister's safety but we cannot live down in the lair. That is your home. My sisters and I need our own space." Jade said as she walked further into the barn as Leo followed her, the moonlight spilling in through the double door entryway.

"There is really no other choice than you moving back to Boston Jade, or with Frank. I wouldn't be able to stand it if you were that far from me." He sighed as she leaned against a square wooden pillar in the middle of the barn. She let out a slow breath looking over at him as he walked towards her pressing his body close to hers. Their lips met as she clenched her eyes tight, remembering the last time he had kissed her like this to be weeks ago. She moved her hands from behind her back and dug them into his biceps as she arched her body into his, forcing it harder on hers.

"Ah man…" Mikey sighed as Fiona giggled.

"It's cute." She whispered as they both peered over the edge looking down below at their older siblings. Mikey shook his head.

"No, it's gross and now we don't have an escape. We move an inch and Leo will hear it." He whispered back as Fiona arched a brow.

"Baby, you do remember that I am invisible right?" She asked in a slight chuckle as he picked his head up with a smile. "And you, my love are Ninja. You can move with the shadows and stuff. You're faster than your brothers just hustle it up and you'll make it."

"Hustle it up? Do you know what I just went through? It's called blue balls babe, you'll be lucky if I can limp." He whispered as she covered her mouth in a giggle.

"Shh…" She said covering his mouth. "Let's just hide out a minuet maybe they'll leave." She shrugged as he sighed laying back against the blanket. She smiled, leaning down over him as her legs went in between his and her head fitting at the curve of his neck. She kissed along it softly as he held her against him. "Blue balls huh?" She whispered as he nodded his head, his eyes closing.

"It's been almost a month babe."

"Yeah I know, why do you think I brought you up here?" She asked kissing his neck again as he smiled.

"I can't live at Franks." Jade said in a pant as Leo moved his lips from hers starting to kiss his way across her chest. He lifted his head up in question as she tried to steady her breathing. "Sorry…My mind is just…" She sighed as he nodded his head taking a step back. She grabbed his hand pulling him back to her. He placed his head against hers as she kissed his lips softly before moving her cheek to glide along his until she kissed his shoulder muscle. "I just want...My mind is elsewhere, all over the place. I'm trying to understand why or how. Why we can't go back to our home. It's all the same thing all over again but before it seemed easier somehow…Maybe because I had you." She sighed again leaning back and placing her forehead against his, closing her eyes.

"You still have me." He said softly.

"I know, I just…I miss you…" She whispered softly as he closed his eyes putting his hands to brace on the wooden pillar behind her as her chest mashed against his plastron. He let his head fall on her shoulder as he moved his hands down her arms to her lower back and around her backside. He lifted her up in a swift motion, pushing her back harder on the pillar as she moaned softly feeling his body push hard between her legs. "Wait…" She said as he reached to lift up her shirt. She sighed rolling her eyes as she felt their little siblings somewhere close by. "I found Fiona and Mikey." She whispered as Leo sighed dropping her back to the dirt ground.

"Lake?" He asked as she smiled kissing his lips.

"Don and Lex."

"Casey and April are in the house…With Jac and Raph." He sighed rubbing the back of his neck. "Woods?"

"Leonardo." She said crossing her arms.

"Alright, bad idea." He sighed as he looked behind him through the opened doors across the yard. He smirked a little as he noticed the large battle shell in the drive way a few yards away from everything. "C'mon." He said taking her hand as she was pulled from her lean against the pillar.

"Leo where…" She stopped noticing his way of direction as she smiled. "You're amazing." She sighed as he sung open the back of the doors, letting her jump up first. He followed shutting them as she rushed at him having his shell slam against the metal. She jumped up wrapping her legs as best she could around his body as he held her to him by her backside. He dropped to his knees slowly, then laying her body on the floor as his laid between her legs, their lips never parting.

"You're time is up Mr. Smith." Bishop gleamed on the other side of the monitor as Frank leaned back in his leather over sized chair in his office. He scowled at the man as he stood up, the chair making a slam against the wall behind him as he placed his knuckles hard on the desk.

"You have absolutely no right in prying into my personally affairs Bishop! This is a travesty. You're making a mockery of what our government stands for!" He screamed leaning into his monitor as Bishop only smiled adjusting his dark lens.

"I am making a mockery of our government? It has come to my attention Smith that you that are housing mutants, freaks in your home calling them your family. And it is I that am mocking our established business?" Bishop asked with a crooked smile as Frank sighed dropping his head between his shoulders. "I only ask for one thing and it is simple…"

"I gave you access to those files what else do you want from me?" Frank blurted out.

"Simple." He said softly keeping his smirk. "You're facility is a beautiful one. Many workers, your life work, companies along the whole east coast. You've made a name for yourself, money and a beautiful life. It would be a shame if all of that was to be wasted on something that mattered so little."

"What. Do. You. Want." Frank said through clenched teeth as his hands slowly balled into fists.

"I believe you already know the answer to that old friend." Frank raised his eyes slowly to meet Ms. Albarn standing before his desk, her eyes behind her small silver framed glasses glossed over with tears as she shook her head once. Frank sighed closing his eyes as he tilted his head back down towards the monitor.

"You do this, with promising me they are safe. All of them will remain safe. For as long as I wish for." Frank said opening his eyes slowly as Bishop nodded his head.

"Once you give the orders Agent Smith they will be in good hands. Don't you worry." His smirked again as Frank shook his head letting it fall back between his shoulders. The screen before him went blank as Ms Albarn rushed to his desk slamming her clipboard down on it.

"How could you…They are just children Frank!" She said as he nodded his head looking back towards her.

"They are also warriors, fighters. They've seen and dealt with much worse than Bishop."

"Something isn't right. With the way he brought up Gregory, it's as if he had already known this whole time."

"He did." Frank sighed taking a seat back in his leather chair. "It was just a matter of me giving him permission he didn't need. My word." He sighed pinching between his eyes.

"Do we warn them?" She asked softly as he shook his head.

"Everything will make sense soon enough to them." He said getting from his desk and gathering a few papers, shoving them into his briefcase.

"They're never going to forgive you."

"I don't know if I am going to be able to forgive myself." He sighed taking his jacket and swinging it over his shoulders as he left his office.
