Chapter 3

Mama Mia…

Karai watched the News report without expression as Baxter chattered excitedly.

"I'm telling you! I saw these young mutants about three years ago!!! They were found in the Sahara desert, with a caravan. They were exposed to different levels of gamma radiation, as well as different mutagens, and now, all four possess some very special abilities."

Shredder looked at Baxter with a cold expression.

"What do you mean, special Abilities?"

"Well, we exposed them to various degrees of gamma radiation and other mutagenic substances which has given one the ability to pass through solids and to become virtually invisible to the naked eye, one to grow physically twenty times stronger then she is naturally, another has the ability to defy gravity, and the fourth has the ability to move at the speed of light. Each of these abilities, however, is triggered by an extreme emotion…intense fear, or hot anger. When the chemical reactions in the cerebrum reach the nervous system's matrix-"

"Enough." Shredder growled.

He turned to Karai and commanded, "You will find these four females and bring them to me."

Karai nodded.

"As you wish, Master."

Daphne sighed in satisfaction as she finished her third slice.

"Man, the zoo knows nothing about how to feed a mutant turtle! They tried to give us raw fish!!! EWW!!!"

Nerissa smirked, "we did eat raw fish, remember, Daphne?"

"Huh, she wouldn't remember that. She probably blocked it from her mind," Andromeda smirked as she chomped into her first slice.

Eos rolled her eyes.

"For the love of Petros…" she murmured.

Calypso was still eating. She had eaten seven slices and still seemed to be hungry.

"Huh, just like LH." Donnie grinned softly as Mikey pulled another pizza from the oven.

Calypso pulled another slice and daintily tossed it into her mouth, chomping down with relish.

Daphne leaned back from the table.

"Umm, mmm! Thank you, Mikey!" she said smilingly at the orange-clad turtle.

Mikey grinned and winked," Any time, sweetie!"

Daphne smiled coyly.

Andromeda snorted," You two get a room already!"

Daphne smirked," Aw, you're just jealous…tramp."

Andromeda glared and promised," You just wait, Daphne."

Daphne stuck out her tongue, but Nerissa reprimanded," enough fighting you two!"

"She started it…" Daphne muttered softly.

Eos cleared her throat as she announced," Nerissa, Donatello found something out from the blood sample you gave him."

Nerissa looked over at Donatello.

Don smiled awkwardly and mumbled," Um, yeah, well, you four were probably with me and my bros, when we were mutated, because for one thing, your blood suggests you were mutated around the same time me and my brothers were, and secondly, you're genetically related to Raphael…close enough to be his cousin at least, maybe even his sister."

Raphael, Leonardo and Andromeda all choked and Andromeda shrieked," WHAT?!"

"You didn't hear?" Donatello asked softly," Nerissa and Raphael are most likely brother and sister."

Nerissa looked at Raphael, her expression holding both disbelief and amazement.

Raphael stood up and walked over to her.

He placed his arm next to hers.

Their skin color matched.

Raph swallowed, "I can't believe I didn't notice it before."

Nerissa smiled awkwardly as she looked over at Andromeda, who asked," Anybody else related?"

"No, as far as I can tell, the rest of us are from different parents. Only Raph and Nerissa. I just thought you should know."

Raphael looked at Nerissa.

"Weird."

Nerissa chuckled softly," I hope you don't find it offensive that I feel closer to Andromeda, Eos, Daphne and Calypso."

"Believe me, I understand completely." Raphael said, backing away.

Leo was feeling a slight irony because out of all the turtle girls, Nerissa attracted him the most…and yet, he and Raphael had such a hostile relationship. Raphael's sister was gentle, but tough and firm at the same time, as well as mild mannered and not to mention attractive.

Her dark golden hair, almost brown, seemed to shimmer like the sun sometimes, her crystal blue eyes were so refreshingly cool and appeared so pure, while Raphael's amber eyes burned with the passion of a wildfire.

Andromeda grinned as she said, "Don't worry, sis, I won't hold your 'brother' against you!"

Raphael rolled his eyes," Give me a break, Red!"

"My NAME is Andromeda, Jerkwad!" Andromeda snapped, but she was blushing.

Raph stared at her.

"You're all red, Androm'da."

She growled.

"UHHHNNNN!!!! I HATE YOU!"

She snarled, standing up from the table, she turned on her heel and stormed away and slammed the door shut as she went into the room she and her sisters shared.

Raphael yelled," FINE! SEE IF I CARE!" turning on his heel, he headed to the garage and they heard him roar away on his motorcycle.

Nerissa winced.

"There is some major thing going on between those two."

"Do you know what happened between them at the Zoo?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, she told me, but it's a very touchy issue that I won't disclose." Nerissa said with a roll of her eyes.

Leo sighed.

"I can't believe you're related to Raph."

"Yeah, me neither! He's downright butt-ugly and you're drop-dead gorgeous." Mikey grinned.

Leo rolled his eyes.

"I meant the temper difference. He's such a hot-head."

She smiled.

"I can be hot-headed sometimes. But I try to keep it on a leash. For my sisters' sakes. After all, Andromeda is already a hot head, without my adding to it."

Andromeda returned, asking flatly," Is he gone?"

Daphne grinned and said sweetly," Yes, you successfully chased him off!"

Andromeda snarled," HE started it!!!"

"Well, actually, you started it, when you told Nerissa you wouldn't hold him against her." Eos teased, just a little.

Andromeda muttered," well, I just might after this…"

Donatello stood up and said," If anyone needs me, I'll be in my lab. There's some more tests I want to run on Nerissa's DNA sample."

Calypso stood up, stretched and yawned.

"I believe I'll turn in."

"Good night, Caly." Eos called as Calypso turned and left.

As Calypso entered the room and closed the door, Daphne sighed.

"Poor girl."

"Why do you say that?" Mikey asked.

Nerissa cut in gently," Calypso's been alone for so long. She's just come to terms with us four. I think she's a little shocked at meeting you four, Master Splinter and … Leatherhead? She's… overwhelmed."

Donatello cocked his head.

"How can you tell? She looked fine to me. In fact, I thought she was taking it all rather well."

Daphne smirked.

"Calypso's really good at hiding her emotions. I mean, the chick has got a poker face like nobody's business. But we've sorta come to know how she's feeling not by her face, but kinda…through her eyes, her tone, and even by her word-choice."

Andromeda growled," Screw that, I can feel whatever she's feeling in the air. It's like an invisible tension."

Leonardo chuckled.

"Woman's intuition?"

"Absolutely." Nerissa giggled as she stood up, gathering empty plates,"okay, girls, let's clean up and hit the sack."

Her sisters followed suit.

Leo protested," You don't have to do any of that."

"I'm sorry, you have no say in this matter." Nerissa giggled, her blue eyes sparkling.

Mikey grinned.

"Dude, you just got shot out of the saddle!"

Leonardo rolled his eyes and suddenly grinned as he flipped into the kitchen and lightly tapped Nerissa's shoulder. As she turned, he scooted to the other side of her as he gently pushed her away from the sink to wash dishes.

She protested," That's cheating!"

He chuckled and handed her a wet, clean dish.

"I'll wash, you dry and pass it on to someone else to put away." he ordered, but grinned playfully.

Nerissa pouted, but grinned as Mikey tossed her a clean kitchen cloth.

Andromeda sullenly swept the kitchen as Daphne and Eos cleared off the table.

Nerissa yelled," Eos! Think fast!"

With an amazing grace, Eos turned and caught the plate, hurled like a Frisbee, and swiftly placed it into the cabinet, catching the next plate just as easily.

Daphne wiped the table down and sang," Three little birds, sat on my window, and they told me I don't need to worry!"

Eos cut loose with the next verse of the song, closing her indigo eyes in bliss," summer came like cinnamon, so sweet…little girls double-Dutch on the concrete!"

Daphne chuckled as she added," maybe, sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's okay, the more things seem to change…the more they stay the same…"

Eos grinned and moaned," Ooh, don't you hesitate,"

The two of them sang," GO! Put yer records on, tell me your favorite song, you go ahead let your hair down!"

Daphne sang happily," Sapphire and faded jeans!"

Eos added," I hope you get your dreams!"

They both sang," just go ahead, let your hair down!"

Daphne sighed," Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow…"

Andromeda retorted," You two are SUCH romantic saps!"

Eos giggled as she blushed, and Daphne smirked," I'd rather be a sap then a sucker!"

Andromeda rolled her eyes.

"Okay, that didn't even make any sense…"

Daphne giggled," Cause I'm nonsensical! And I'm proud of it!"

Nerissa soaked her hands and flicked water at her two arguing sisters.

They shrieked and Andromeda roared," IT'S ON!!!"

Nerissa shrieked and leapt behind Leo, as Andromeda raced towards her.

"Get your shell over here!" the red head yelled, running around Leo, as Nerissa raced the other way around him, squealing," Never!"

Leo yelled," Hey!" As the two girls created a whirlwind with him in the middle.

He crouched and sprang out of the way, and Andromeda yelled," NOW I've got you!"

As Andromeda leapt to clobber Nerissa to the ground, she reached around her sister's waist…

…And promptly went straight through her sister.

Nerissa stared, as Andromeda flew to the other side of the room, tumbling and skidding.

"Ow…WHAT THE HELL?" Andromeda yelled, but she looked thoroughly freaked out.

Nerissa was frozen.

Her eyes were wide and her mouth was open.

Eos grimly came forward.

"Nerissa, what just happened?"

Mikey's jaw was on the floor, as was Daphne's.

Leo stared as Nerissa took a breath.

"I…I don't know…I…I felt…I was worried about something, and as Andromeda leapt at me…I was…I felt…scared…" Nerissa was confused, thinking hard.

Andromeda grimly looked at Eos, who wrinkled her snout.

"Huh, Repressed memories. I knew it."

Andromeda then realized that she had not tackled her sister like that in a very, very long time…not during and after they had been in the lab…

"Nerissa, did someone…hurt you?" she asked slowly.

Nerissa looked up.

"I don't know."

She clenched her fist and looked at the wall.

Growling, her eyes glimmering with rage and fear, she touched the wall.

Her hand went through it.

She walked all the way through it, disappearing.

Donatello came and screamed as Nerissa suddenly came back, walking through the wall.

"What the-"

"Holy shell!"

Nerissa swallowed softly.

"I…I think I remember what happened."

Eos went to her and took her hand softly," Well?"

Nerissa breathed out.

"I…I was in a room…it was dark in there, I could barely see…"

Well? Like it? Hate it?

LET ME KNOW!
