Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
"Hurry!" Don said, as they raced into the lair
She was securely tucked in his arms in till he set her down in her bed. His purple brother starting connecting wires, applying bandages, and giving orders simultaneously.
"Raph I need water! Mikey get my kit out of the lab! Leo get blankets!" The turtle yelled
They all had run off, all returning with the items.
Then Donatello had shooed them out of the room.
"But Don!" He had said, not wanting to leave
"I need space to focus" His brother replied, pushing him out
He didn't push it, but there was no other place he rather be than in that room with her
Instead he did the next best thing…and hung out right outside the door
Joining him was Raph and Mikey, who too wanted to be inside the room
They all were quite, though the tension was growing
It seemed like forever in till the door opened and out came their brother, wiping his hands
They surrounded him, seeing a grim look on his face
The turtle brushed past them without a word, heading towards the kitchen
Exchanging looks of concern, they followed him
"Don?" He asked nervously
"She is alive" was the response, a smile coming to all their faces
"When will she wake up?" Mikey asked
"I don't know" The genius replied quietly
"What are you not telling us?" Raph asked, as they all shifted their gazes to turtle
"Nothing" Donatello said, avoiding eye contact
It must be bad, he thought, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder
"Tell us, we can handle it and beside we will all go crazy with worry if we don't know" He said, giving his brother a small smile
"She sustained many injuries and I suspect it was more than physical" The purple bandanna said
"Will she be okay?" Mikey asked, concerned
"She had a few broken ribs and her shell was cracked in a few places, so she will be fine but…" Don drifted off
"What?" Raph asked
"I have no idea she had brain damage from the fall" The turtle replied
"What's the worst case scenario?" He asked calmly, although he was shaking inside
"…" No response
"Just tell us" Raph said
"She might forget everything" Don replied
"What do you mean everything?" Mikey asked, his baby blue eyes filled with fear
"He means us" Raph said, his hand against his forehead
"And every memory" He added
This was horrible; she was alive but might not remember him
Still no way to tell her, he thought
"That's not all…" Don said with a grim voice
"What do you mean?" Raph asked
"Not only could she forget us and her memories, she could lose her ability to move and speak" The turtle replied, everyone's eyes going wide
"You mean that…" He started to say
"She wouldn't be able to walk, talk, or do anything on her own" Don said
"When will we know?" Raph finally asked, after a moment of silence
"When she wakes up" Don replied
"Well then I might be the older brother" Mikey said, trying to lighten the mood, although his heart wasn't in it
"Let's hope not" He said, before walking into the room, his brothers behind him
He took a hold of her hand, watched as her chest rose and fell
Please wake up soon, he thought, sitting in the chair next to her bed
Leonardo shooed the memory from his head, returning to her
It had been three weeks since that night and there had been no change.
She was still alive, but she hadn't woken up yet.
No squeeze of the hand, no fluttering of her eyes, no words came from her mouth
They had all stayed in her room, never venturing outside the lair unless it was a must
His brothers rarely slept in their beds, rather falling asleep in the chairs in her room just as he did
He was almost always there, holding her hand
At the moment, the only other person in the room was Raph
His brother didn't bother him, they both just sat there.
Leo now knew that his family knew of his feelings and he was glad
There had been no fights, no stress of him
The four of them had made a pact that night, when she did wake up that nothing would ever happen to her
No matter the cost, nothing would ever happen to her again
Interrupting his thoughts was Donatello and Mikey coming through the door.
"Any change?" Don asked, although he knew the answer
"Nope" Leo replied
"I'll change her bandages" Don said, grasping her arm
Before he could begin, Mikey started talking
"Donnie can you fix my gameboy?"
"I'm busy" Don replied
"Please?"
"Not now"
That's when the whining started
"PLEASE? I need to rescue princess peach!"
"I am busy, later"
"Please please please! The princess needs me!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Raph getting up
"Not now Mikey!" Don said, obviously frustrated
"But…" The youngest brother said
"Look I don't have time to mess with your stupid game boy" The purple turtle growled
"Well at least I'm doing something instead of moping around the house like you three!" Mikey retorted
Great, there was going to be a fight, he thought standing up
"I'm worried that's all" Don said, turning to face his younger brother
"Jasmine is alive isn't she! You keep acting like she's not!" Mikey yelled
"Why you little whiner! You just hate having less attention!" Don roared back
Yep, it's definitely a fight now, he thought looking over to Raph
They connected eyes, agreeing to break it up if this continued
"YOU REALLY THINK THAT!" Mikey threw his hands in the air "She's my big sister, I don't care about the attention, I just want her to wake up!"
"She will never wake up if you keep being a baby!" Don said, the two staring each other down
"YOU IDIOT, AT LEAST I AM THE FUN ONE!" Mikey roared
"YOU LITTLE!!" Don yelled, about to attack him
"BRING IT!" Mikey said, preparing for a fight
Time to break it up, Leo thought, as the two elder brothers moved towards them
A voice beat them to it
It was weak, yet powerful
The room went quite
"Don…Mikey"
They all looked to see her mouth moving
Their eyes went wide as they rushed to the bed
"Sis?" Mikey said, looking at her as they all were
"Don't fight" She said, faintly not opening her eyes
"We won't" Don said, looking at Mikey
Giving his brother a smile, the two turned their attention back to her
"Good" The female turtle said, falling silent
"Jasmine?" Leo said, grasping her hand
No answer, she was gone.
The brothers looked at each other, before Mikey started to cry.
"What's wrong?" Don asked,
"Instead of us talking to her, she woke up to break up our fight!" The weeping brother said
"She's alive and we know she's not a vegetable, so I would say it was a good talk" Don replied, giving a smile to his brother
"You are suppose to be the positive turtle, am I right?" Raph said
"Mikey the depressed turtle, it doesn't work" Leo said, causing Mikey to laugh
"That's Raph's job!" The orange turtle said
"Why you!" Raph said, running after him
"Better go and break it up" Don said, before joining the other two
"We really should" Leo said, stopping at the doorway
He took one last look to his love.
With a smile on his face, he ran to join the fun
After he was gone, something appeared on her face…
A smile.
The darkness receded, freeing her mind
Am I dead?
No, I can't be….
The numbness faded, the pain returning like a thousand knives
Every part of her body felt it was on fire
She tried to open her eyes, but the pain was too great
Instead she let her other senses take over in place of sight
Her noise picked a familiar smell…the sewer
She was home, with them
The faint taste of blood was on her tongue, most likely her
Jasmine felt a calloused hand grasp hers, gentle and sweet
Leo…he was there
A smile came to her face, before being shattered by loud voices
A hand grasped her arm, before letting go for no reason
Loud voices boomed in her ear, they were familiar
Neither was rough, like Raphael's
Nor were they the type that would lead, like Leonardo's
That left her two younger brothers
The volume of the fight escalated to yelling
Why are they fighting? She was concerned, unable to understand the words
I must stop this, she thought, trying to open her eyes
The pain overwhelmed her, stopping her
Trying to fight it, again she tried
Gathering her strength she managed to say two words
"Don…Mikey"
It left her drained, almost unable to hear the words said
"Sis?" She heard her little brother say
"Don't fight" Jasmine said, the pain becoming to much
"We won't" She barely heard Don said, it was like a whisper
She was fading, she felt it
Everything was going black, her senses shutting down
No longer did she feel someone grasp her hand
The smell of the sewer was gone
The metallic taste of blood was no longer tasted
No sounds were heard
"Good" She said, before the pain swallowed her
Darkness took over
Walking down the streets, the Elite member kept looking
The sounds and lights of Los Angeles didn't distract him
A source had led him here, he hoped that they were here
Being in the rougher part of town, he kept his guard up
Although he knew he could take any of the punks that would attack him
A glowing sign announced his arrival, loud music accompanied it
The Cherry Blossom Club, that's what it said
Walking through the doors, he scanned the shadows
Ignoring the stares he was getting, he walked up to the bar
"What can I get you?" The bartender asked, wiping a glass
The man was young, mid twenties, but already had scars all over his body. A tattoo of a skull on his right shoulder, with a scar to match it on the left. His black hair greased back, with a set of dark eyes to match.
"Information" He replied
"What kind you need?" The man said, leaning against the bar
"Seen any strange characters lately?" The Elite said, his eyes looking at the man
"You're gonna have to be more specific, I see weirdoes come through every minute" The bartender replied, with a laugh
"Any with dark cloaks, the silent type?" He said
"Maybe I have, maybe I ain't, if you get my drift" The younger man replied, with an sly look
"Do you get mine?" The Elite said, opening his traveling cloak just enough to expose his axe
The man's eyes went wide, before he stuttered out "In that corner, ain't talked to no one"
Looking he saw, three dark figures sitting at a table
Each was well concealed, not even their eyes showing
"Thanks" He said, leaving the frightened bartender quivering, as he walked towards the table
"I need to talk to you" He said, causing the figures to shift
"Go away" One spoke, the voice high yet rough
"No, I won't" He replied
"Leave now" The same figure said, an accent clearly mixed in
"I need to talk to you Katsumi" The Elite member said [AN: Katsumi means victorious beauty]
The figures froze, sitting straight up in their chairs
"That's right, I know who you are" He said, seeing their reactions
One moment, he was standing there and another he was flying through the air
Smashing through one of the front windows, he landed on the street.
People were staring as three cloaked figures walked out the door.
The one who had obviously punched him, picked him up slamming him against a wall
"How?" The mysterious person hissed
He looked down to see a green arm holding him up
"I have information you need to know" The Elite member said, straining against her grip
"We need nothing from you" Katsumi said, her eyes glaring at him
"Yes, you do Tori" He said
"Only my sisters call me that!" She yelled, throwing him into a alley
He slammed against the brick dead end, falling to his knees
"I will let you live, but only because I am feeling kind tonight" The turtle said, throwing off her cloak
Fiery red hair, sharp amber eyes was only the beginning. A brown mask tied around her head, Sais sticking out of her silver belt. She was taller than the other two, muscles on her arms from continues training. Her skin was dark green, the shell on her back a dark brown.
"Tori!" One of the other two said, stepping towards her
The voice was calmer, softer than her sister's.
The red head ignored the plea and instead raised him up again.
"Got that teme?" She growled [AN: Teme is Japanese for bastard]
"I have information on your sister" He had said, the magic words….
Well maybe not, considering he was still against the wall
The other two rushed to her side, staring at him.
"You do?" The final one said
The voice was very high, the type that would belong to a young girl.
"Spill!" Tori said, pressing him into the brick
"She's dead" He said, getting the news over with
"YOU LIE!" Katsumi roared, sending a punch to his jaw
"Tori wait" The calm one said
The red head stopped, glaring at him
"Thank you Chie" He said, glad the punch was stopped [AN: Chie means wisdom]
"What proof do you have?" She asked, removing her cloak
Her brown hair was shoulder length, her green eyes showing concern. A grey mask around her head, a bo staff attached to her back. She was slimmer that the other two, taller that the one that was still covered. A lighter brown shell on her back, her skin a lighter green that her sister's.
"I saw her die right in front of my eyes" The Elite member replied
"You killed her didn't you!?!" The red head yelled, ready to punch him
"No I didn't, why would I do that?" He retorted, getting in his captors face
"What happened?" The little one said
"She drowned, after falling over 200 hundred feet" He replied
"You just stood there and watched!?!" Tori said
"No, I dragged her to shore" He said, ignoring her stares
"She can't be…" The still cloaked one said
"Where might we find her body?" Chie asked, her calm voice shaken
"New York" He said, before being blinded with a grey light
They were no longer in California, but in New York
The three were walking away, Katsumi and Chie's hoods back covering them
One turned back, dashing at him
He looked down to see a turtle hugging him.
Her hood had fallen down, exposing her blond hair.
She backed away, giving him a smile.
Her hair was a pixie cut, her baby blue eyes blending right in. A pink mask was tied to her head, nunchuckes sticking out off her belt. She was the shortest of the three, still muscular but not as much as her elder sister. He skin was a bluer green color, her shell a bit lighter than Chie's.
"Thank you" She said
"But I just told you your sister was dead" He replied
"But still, thanks for traveling to tell us, most would have forgotten" She replied, giving him a smile
"Then you are welcome Aiko" The Elite member replied, his heart softening [AN: Aiko mean love child]
"Come on!" Tori called to her sister
The blond sent him another smile, before dashing to join the other two
So it's done, he thought, returning to the tower
Little did her know that their sister was not dead, but just starting to live…
Plot twist!
See what happens next time!
Thanks for reviewing!!
