Chapter 10

In Your Face!

"Are you sure this is the way they went?" Desdemona asked softly as she and Splinter paused at the sight of the building.

"Yes." Splinter responded, his nose twitching as he sniffed. Oh yes, his sons had been here.

He looked at Desdemona," I will sneak in, to see if I can find out where your daughter is being kept. Please knock on the front door, as a diversion."

Desdemona smirked as she grinned, "I've got just the thing…."

***

Raphael groaned as he woke up…in a cage…and a big weight on him.

He opened his eyes…and froze as he realized it was Charis who was lying over him.

She was still unconscious.

He rolled his eyes as he carefully moved her off his body and onto the floor of the cage.

He looked around.

There weren't any cages other cages in the room, and he looked down at the pale mutant girl who was sleeping beside him.

Her hair was in her face, just a little, and her breathing was deep and even. She was out of it.

He felt around his belt for his sais and swore when he realized he had been relieved of his belt…and his mask?!

Raphael gulped, he was TOTALLY naked and felt ridiculously vulnerable.

"What kind of sick joke is that, taking my mask and my gear?" he muttered as he examined his cage.

Damn…no way out…

Charis mumbled softly," daddy, are we there yet?"

Raphael paused and had to chuckle as she opened her bright grey eyes.

She blinked before bolting upright, gasping," What the heck happened?! And um, I'm really sorry, but…um, are you Raphael?"

"Yeah."

"I, uh, I couldn't really be sure…but your skin color is a little darker then the others and uh, your eyes are kinda different too…um, what happened?" she swallowed, looking completely nervous.

Raphael couldn't blame her. HE'D be nervous too if he was in a cage, alone, with himself at this moment.

"I'm not sure, but I think Bonesteel was prepared for us." The big turtle growled.

The smaller turtle gulped as she asked plaintively," What do we do?"

Raphael snorted," I'm workin' on it."

He looked around, the room was pretty bare…and he wasn't entirely sure they were even in the same building!

He looked down at Charis, who was waiting for an answer

"I'll think of something," he growled, unnerved by her steady gaze.

She nodded as she tucked her knees up to her chest," Okay," moving her gaze elsewhere.

Raphael was silent as he examined their options again…wait. With his legs stretched out, he could touch the door of the cage…

"I got an idea. Don't move!" he told her before getting on his shell, bracing his arms against the back of the cage, he kicked, as hard as he possibly could, at the cage door. The hinges groaned, and he kicked again, harder, stretching as far as he could.

The door gave out and he climbed out," Okay, sweetheart, let's see what's going on."

She blushed, but said nothing as she followed behind him.

***

Donatello sneezed slightly as he woke up.

"Oops, sorry about that." Alex blushed as she whisked her tail away from his face.

Donatello looked around the cage, "Where are we?"

"Disney land." She replied tersely, her bright amber eyes glittering with anger.

He sat up, looking around. No one else was in the room.

"Um, so…now what?" Donatello pondered as he examined the cage. He noted the strong bars, and the hinges…wait…the hinges…

His hands went to his belt only to find it gone.

She smiled grimly," You look kind of funny without your mask on."

Don rolled his eyes, "This is absolutely insane! I'm filing a complaint when we check out."

She smiled, her teeth glittering," I'm with you, brainiac! Now, lets see…can you pick the lock?"

"If I had something to pick it with." Donatello said regretfully.

She bit her lip and before she could change her mind, she broke off another one of her nails.

Her pupils contracted with the pain as she moaned through gritted teeth.

Donatello stared before taking the claw, chiding," You shouldn't have done that."

"Shut up and bust us outta here. I'm sick of cages!"

***

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

Bonesteel clicked his teeth as he got off the couch and went to see it was.

A woman stood in front of him, her voice flat as she growled, "I received an anonymous tip that there was going to be a murder at this building."

Bonesteel stared," Are you loony? Go home, missus-"

He started to close the door, when she came out and kicked the door open, slamming him into the ground, she straddled his chest, pinning him good and hard.

Bonesteel didn't even have time to swear as her fists descended like hammers to his face…

***

Leonardo and Chloe both kicked the cage door off and as they crawled out, Leonardo saw his gear and quickly put it on.

The door opened and Leo turned, ready to fend off an attacker.

"It is me, my son. Come quickly!"

Splinter had found Alex and Donatello, Raphael and Charis, and Chloe gasped, "Oh, Alex, another nail?"

"The day I complain about a broken nail, is the day Raphael there tap-dances in a pink tutu."

Chloe covered her mouth, trying not to laugh as Raphael glared," Which is never."

Charis also bit her lip, trying to keep from giggling, but she forced it down as they made their way to the front door. Desdemona was standing up, dusting off her hands, she grinned," I took MMA for nearly six-months. I was SERIOUS about my training."

"Whoa, mom, you kicked shell!" Chloe giggled as she hugged her mom, who hugged back.

"HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME!?!"

Mikey's voice came from behind a closed door and Raphael grinned diabolically as he opened the door. Mikey sat in the cage, unable to open it.

"Maybe we should leave him here." Raphael grinned evilly

"Aw c'mon Raph!" Mikey yelled as Alex snorted and replied," You'll do no such thing!" as she went to the cage and opened it.

Mikey grinned as he stood up and told her," You're the best, Alex!"

She chuckled," Thanks, but we have to go!"

The group then quickly escaped, leaving Bonesteel tied up, with the police on their way.

well? i decided to name this guy bonesteel...but he's not exactly the same bonesteel as in Next Mutation. what do you think?

Mikey: Before you updated, you forgot all about me!

Me: SORRY!

Me:I do like you, Mikey, but i was rather wrapped up at the moment!
