I do not own the tmnt.
Leah could not believe Leonardo had asked her on a date, but then again she couldn't believe she'd had sex with him either. Her heart fluttered at the thought and she couldn't help the smile on her face. She hummed to herself as she went to see her brother. He was much better now and could go home.
"Lee! You ready? Grandma will be very happy to have us home," she exclaimed as he gave her a strange look.
"Since when did you get so happy?" he asked her, "A couple of days ago you were depressed out of your mind."
Her smile faltered a little as the thoughts of death entwined her mind. Seeing his sister's smile start to deflate, Lee began to feel guilty for breaking her spirit.
"Leah, I'm sorry I bought it up," he said hugging her.
"I'm not going to die," she told him fiercely, "There is something in my heart telling me, comforting me, that I will not die."
Lee studied her for a moment and smiled a fake smile at her. She was going delusional from all the stress. She must have tricked herself into thinking she wasn't going to die. Lee felt a lump develop in his throat. He knew his sister wasn't going to live much longer. His gut told him so.
"Need any help getting Lee home?" Leo asked coming into the room.
Leah couldn't contain her smile when he walked in. A smile grin crept onto her face, "I've got him, Leo, thanks." she replied.
Lee's eyes narrowed. So that was it. The turtle was the source behind Leah's mood. A small amount of protection invaded his mind then. He had made sure no one messed with her in high school. She doesn't need the stress of a boyfriend just as he didn't need a girlfriend. Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. If this turtle made her happy, then why not let her see him? She needed to be happy especially if his gut was right…
"Lee are you alright?" Leah questioned running her hand up and down in front of his face tearing him from his thoughts.
"Yeah, sorry, kind of zoned out there," he explained with a smile.
Soon the twins were about to head out the door. They turned to wave at the turtles.
"Bye guys, I wish my visit could have been a little more on the not dying side," Lee joked with them.
"Maybe next time," Leah extended the joke as they laughed.
"How about we just say come back to visit soon," Master Splinter concluded smiling. He worried for that girl and the city if his theory was correct. Everything they knew was about to be decimated.
As the siblings walked the streets of New York to return to their grandmothers, something or rather someone slammed into Leah hard knocking her from her feet. She scowled about to get up and kick some face in when the feeling of comfort washed over her.
She stared at the face of a middle aged man with the same color eyes and hair that she had. He had the same squared jaw as she did and looked at her with curiously. Shock overcame her expression when realization set in. There was no doubt in her mind that this man was her father though he was nothing like she thought he would be as Master Splinter had described.
"Get off her!" Lee shouted angrily about to kick the man off of her when a pain entered his mind. The boy screamed as the people turned to stare at him.
"Quick get help for the boy!"
"Call 911!" random people yelled.
"Come with me," the man stated as he teleported her away from the on looking crowd back to his ship.
The minute she arrived at the unknown place she fell to her knees sweating. Leah wondered what had happened to her when she took in the alien surroundings. She gasped at the large place. The entire interior was chrome, and there were many men walking around in either blue or white jumpsuits. Every one of them stopped what they were doing to state at her when a man dressed in a black suit almost ran up to her.
"Sire? This is what we came for? She is but a mere earthling!" he scoffed looking down at her then back to the man that kidnapped her.
He glared, "Look at her, Chorn! This is no ordinary human!" the man replied heatedly.
Chorn looked back down at girl and gasped. His eyes widened as he turned his gaze to the prince, "Impossible! A royal! On this Liyun forsaken planet," he said disbelievingly.
The man sighed, "We have to get her somewhere stable. The call would not have been so strong is she wasn't so near her change. We need to draw a vial of my blood stat," he stated turning his eyes back to the girl.
"I will be right back," he informed her trying to be as comforting as possible when he raced into another room.
"So, is it true then? You are Prince Yida's daughter?" a man in blue asked pretending to be working on something nearby.
Leah stared at him in confusion. Her mind was whirling and she was in a state of disbelief. Everyone on the ship was doing their best not to stare at her, but Leah could feel their eyes on her when she wasn't looking. Pulling from her thoughts, she studied the man in blue.
"I…I don't know," she answered shaking her head overwhelmed.
Suddenly, someone who looked more foreign than anything she had seen walked through an automatic door. His skin was as pale as a ghost and his hair a brilliant white. The alien's eyes glowed a freakish blue with a white dot as his pupil. His feet were like those of a gargoyle, but his hands were normal and taloned.
It came towards her, "You will need to come back with me to Metra Hul," it told her urgently.
Realization ran in Leah's mind. This was the same man she had met back in New York. She stared at him in pure amazement. She knew that this had to be Prince Yida, the royal from Metra Hul Master Splinter had told her about. Her eyes widened as she wondered if that was what she would look like. A ping of fear went down her spine, when he offered for her to come to Metra Hul.
"I can't," Leah replied thinking of her family and Leonardo. She couldn't leave them.
"You will if you value your life you will leave with me," Prince Yida said firmly.
Leah looked away from him. Her thoughts went back to the story Master Splinter told her. She could completely annihilate New York City. Sighing, she nodded reluctantly.
"Only if I get to explain to my brother what's going on," she bargained.
"Brother! There is another one!" he exclaimed confused and astounded.
"No, no, no, it's okay. He's not like me," Leah explained quickly.
The prince let out a relieved sigh, "I just wonder how it was possible. How are you my daughter? The tests do not lie, and I have not completely the ritual with anyone," he mumbled the last part to himself.
Leah shook her head. She honestly knew about as much as he did.
Leo followed the directions just as Leah had written for him. He wanted to make sure she knew what time he was going to come by to pick her up. When he got there though, he was not met with the happy smile of Leah, but of that with her frantic grandmother.
"What do you mean Lance is in the hospital!" she exclaimed, "What about my granddaughter?"
The elderly woman was in tears as she seemed to be searching for something.
Leo's heart stopped. They had been attacked, and Leah must have been in the hospital with him. His eyes narrowed as he prepared to rush and find her, but before he did he heard their grandmother scream one word.
"Kidnapped!"
"They have finally slipped, sire," the head of the purple dragons said as he bowed down before the shredder.
A smirk could be seen on the shredder's face as a small chuckle escaped his lips, "Perfect. After years of checking hospital records, we have them."
"It is only the boy, though," Hun said nervously.
His boss's smile faltered a little, but then stabilized, "No matter. The girl will come after her brother."
The shredder's laughter rang throughout the Foot headquarters.
Thanks for reading. (:
