Hey! I'm updating! So much to do over so little amount of time. So here's the next chapter! Last chapter Leonardo was introduced into the story, right? So that means *Le Gasp*...
Disclaimer: i do not own Ninja Turtles. I only own My OCs and The Bonded and The Blessed legend.
Alex woke up to a box at her feet. She opened it to see a pure black Konuichi outfit. It fitted her perfectly and she smiled at the note that had fluttered down from the package.
'Thought you might need this- NAB' it said. Alex let out a half sob half laugh.
"Naomi, how did you do this?" she asked. She looked at the calendar and slid down the banister and walked into the kitchen in her pajamas. She didn't even realize that she had slept in until she saw Raph wide awake. "I slept in didn't I?" she asked. Mikey adverted his eyes as they nodded.
Alexandria huffed. She was wearing a white tank top and plaid (pink black green and blue) pajama bottoms. She couldn't help but notice how the guys' eyes had darkened a shade over the night. She looked at Master Splinter, who was just drinking some tea. Why did their eyes darken? Did this help the reason why Raph snapped Leo's Katana blades?
"Good morning my daughter." Master Splinter said. Alex sat down and looked at her lap. She accepted the cup of tea he gave and she recognized it as Japanese peach tea, one of Ling-Su's favorites. Alex sipped the tea and noted how the turtles' eyes went dark when they looked at her.
Then it hit her. It was spring time. Mating season. "Good morning Master Splinter." Alex said, her eyes flicking to the four brothers. Finally, she couldn't stand it. "Donnie, are you okay?" she asked.
Donatello jumped and looked around nervously. "Yeah. W-why do you ask?"
"Your eyes are darker than yesterday. I just wanted to make sure you all are alright." She said innocently. Everyone but her shifted. She noticed their eyes! How much longer until she noticed how much hostile they will be to each other?
"My-my eyes?" Donatello asked, looking away. Alex almost smirked. "I didn't notice." Alex hummed and drank the rest of her tea. Maybe she should change from her pajamas. The tank top was a little revealing. She wondered up to her room and, much to everyone's surprise, put her Konuichi outfit on.
"I miss you Omi." She murmured, looking in the mirror. She ran her hand down the threaded side and sighed. Naomi Andrea Bolsove, NAB. "I wish you knew what I was doing Omi. I really do." Alexandria said, grabbing her Katanas and her Sai. She strapped her Katanas on her back as an 'x' and she had trouble getting her Sai hidden. "God Damnit." She muttered, almost falling again. There was a knock on her door. "Come in!"
Leonardo opened the door to see her back almost twisted in a perfect 180. She was attempting to put something on her back, well within reach, but it was also in the most awkward position yet. "Do you need help?" He asked. Alex froze and slowly looked in his brown/grey eyes. His eyes almost went a shade darker when he saw what her position really was.
"I-I guess." She muttered. She slowly unbent her spine and stood straight up. She saw that Leonardo was really only two or three inches taller than her. Her eyes kept flickering to Leo's. Alexandria knew that if she needed help in four or five days, she would be in big trouble.
Grudgingly, Alex handed him the Sai. She slowly put her back towards Leo. His heart thumped wildly as she relaxed. "Where do you want it?" he asked.
"Near my lower back, where no one can see it, but where I can easily reach it. Remember, I don't have a shell like you do." She warned. Leo nodded and placed the Sai where she was trying to place it.
"Where'd you get this?" Leo asked, unable to resist feeling the Konuichi outfit. "I didn't see you wearing it yesterday."
Alex smiled, though Leo didn't see it. "It was under my bed in my room in my old world. When I woke up today, I found this and a note from Omi."
"Omi?" Leo asked stepping back.
"My cousin, Naomi. She's a lot like Mikey." Alex sighed. She turned around and smiled at the blue clad turtle. "Thank you Leo." She walked past Leonardo and went down the steps. She saw the other three looking at her. She went to Master Splinter and he looked at her new outfit.
"I did not see you come out from Master Jiong's place with this." He commented. Alexandria nodded. "If you do not mind me asking, how did you get this?"
"I woke up and found it in a box at my feet. This was with it." Alex pulled the note from her cousin out and showed it to Master Splinter. "It's in my cousin's hand writing and she's the only one who can write like this in the family."
"I see." Master Splinter said. Alex noticed Raph was staring at her. Alex stuck her tongue out at him and he made a face at her. "Raphael." Splinter warned.
"She started it!" Raph said. Alex raised an eyebrow.
"I may not be an expert, but I may have to move out soon." She said. "I will not be the reason why this family fell apart." Master Splinter looked at me. "It's spring, typical Mating season, no way am I going to be crowded by four 18 year old turtles in the middle of mating season."
"How did you know?" Mikey asked, scaring Alex.
"Your eyes and the fact that in the movie, those two," Here she pointed to Leonardo and Raphael. "Were fighting more than they should've been." Both of their eyes narrowed.
Master Splinter laughed. "Perhaps Miss O'Neil and Mr. Jones will let you live with them." He suggested. Alex looked thoughtful.
"That… could work. The foot doesn't know where they live, their house plays a part in the movie, and I would be able to get to know them better." She said. Her eyes flickered to Leo again. When this was over, she would definitely get to know him better.
With a few phone calls, Alexandria was able to pack everything into boxes. Despite her protests, the guys refused to stay behind. They help Alex move the boxes into her room. "Are you gonna come and visit Dudette?" Michelangelo asked Alex as she opened a box. She paused to smile at him.
"Of course. I'm a little afraid to say this, but I'm going on patrol with you." Alexandria said. Mikey did a little fist pump. She shooed him from her room. "You can't see the contents in this box!" she said, closing the door behind her.
Alex went to stand beside Casey and April, who were talking to Raph. "I guess I'll see you soon." April said. I smirked as Casey and Raph fist bumped. The three, as Leo elected to stay in the lair, left the apartment. "So, Alex, what do you do for fun?" Alexandria grinned.
-Night time; Alex's POV-
I was waiting for the guys to come. After what seemed like forever, the guys finally came. I was sitting on the buildings water tower when they stopped. "She didn't come." Mikey said, climbing halfway up the tower.
"Oh, contraire, my dear Michelangelo. I did come, you're just late." I said, jumping beside Leonardo. Mikey blushed and I looked at the construction site. Leo didn't spare me a second glance as he began his lecture.
"We need to get into shape." Leo began. I mentally counted until Raphael snapped. "First, we need to-."
I rubbed my temples as Raph got into Leo's face. "This isn't helping with the 7th monster." I snarled, catching both of their attentions. Raph scoffed as the monster roared. "Not scoffing at me now are you?" I snapped, going to the edge. Mikey and Donnie joined me.
"Let's go check it out." Raph said, climbing the crane arm. I paled. I forgot how high it was. The other two followed him and only Leo and I were left.
"Oh god." I whimpered, stepping out onto the crane. I must've been either really unsteady or too slow as I felt someone pick me up.
"You're shaking. You won't make it across if you stay like this." Leo said, setting me down on the other side. I nodded weakly and watched the foot try to take the monster.
"Should we help them?" Mikey asked, looking at me. I mentally cussed, remembering that they would be distracted by my presence. I zoned out until the guys charged at the monster. I stayed behind with Leonardo.
"I blame this on them." I said, jerking my hand to Karai. He shot me a look and followed his brothers. Leo went after Karai and the other three tried to take the monster beside me.
"Are you trying to die?!" I screeched, pulling Raphael out of the way. He blinked and the monster lashed out towards us. I felt something impale my side and I was tossed into a beam. My world went fuzzy.
The monster rolled and Michelangelo grabbed me. He jumped down and we were suddenly trapped. "Yo, Dudette, you okay?" Mikey asked, shaking me awake.
"I'm fine." I slurred. "My head throbs and my side is killing me, but I'm fine." There was a heavy pause.
I heard a groan and raised my hand in defense. The last thing I needed was memory loss from a piece of concrete. The guys crouched down over me and the ceiling collapsed. I blacked out when they began to dig our way out.
-Two hours later; No one's POV-
When Alexandria came to, she noticed that she was in her room at April's. She felt someone press a wet washcloth onto her forehead. "W-what happened?" Alex asked.
"After we dug ourselves out, we came here." Donatello's voice said. Alex looked at him and then noticed that she wasn't wearing a top. She did the most reasonable thing she could think of. She screamed.
-Leonardo's POV-
I heard Alex screaming at Donnie from the rooftop. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" she screamed. I frowned. Did she lose her memory? According to the other three, she hit the metal beam hard. "DON'T COME BACK IN UNTIL I'M DECEANT!"
"So that's why she was yelling." I muttered. I heard her door open.
"Alex, why did you scream?" Mikey asked, opening the window for me. I slid in and saw both Alex and Donatello blushing.
"Someone; took; my; top; off; when; I; was; unconscious." Alexandria said fastly. We all looked at Donnie.
"She had a side wound! I needed to clean it!" he said. I did my best to hide the snort that came up. He could've asked April to do that!
"You could've asked April!" Alex said. I looked at her in shock, but I pushed it off.
"We need to go." I said. I saw Alex looking at me carefully. I nodded to her and followed the others back outside.
"Leo." I heard Alex call. I paused on the fire escape. I turned around and looked at her. "Be careful." She said softly. I nodded.
-Next morning; Normal POV-
Alex was sitting beside Donatello when Master Splinter came in. she stiffened and bowed her head as he turned the TV on for his stories. "Boys!" he called. Alex stood up.
"I take all of the blame Master Splinter." She said. He looked at her in shock. "I knew this would happen and I didn't even try to stop it." Master Splinter motioned for all of them to go into the dojo. Alex knelt beside Leonardo and Raphael as Master Splinter began talking.
"I am very disappointed in you two." He said. Alex cringed. He was still blaming Leo! "Leonardo, when I sent you to South America, I expected you to become a better leader!" Leonardo flinched while Alex's fists clenched. "Alexandria, when I invited you into this family, I hoped you would let my sons see not everyone is evil." Tears gathered in Alex's eyes. "I, however, did not expect you to allow my sons to go into danger willingly!" a tear slid down her face.
This was exactly how her mother talked to her when she got anything below an A. The whaling continued until Raphael stood up and walked away. Master Splinter dismissed the rest and Alex ran from the room.
"Alex!" Michelangelo called, racing after her. "Wait up!" Alexandria paused for a second. Mikey stood beside her and saw why she had ran. Tears were streaming down her face and she was shaking. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"The way he said that." She said. "It was just like the way Miocene talked when she came out of her depression." Finally, Alex fell to the ground. Mikey caught her and sat beside her. "I should've stopped him from going." She sobbed.
"You know Raph. Once he thinks it's good or he's right, he'll stick with it." He said, trying to cheer her up. It worked, but she didn't smile.
"Yeah, another reason why I wanted to come here." She said. "He needs to know its okay to be wrong sometimes." Mikey laughed and she joined him.
When they went into the lair, she was hoping the others wouldn't notice the tear tracks, but they did. "Were you crying?" Donnie asked, getting the others attention. Alex looked away, but nodded. "Why?"
"Just some bad memories brought up." She murmured. I'd rather not talk about it." Raphael, Donatello, and Master Splinter nodded while Leo's eyes narrowed. It was more than just memories. Something Master Splinter said made her snap, run away even, and he was going to find out what.
So! We saw what happens when Alexandria tried to change some things. Please note that the last two chapters i'm posting on this are two to three weeks after the big battle with the generals, so don't chew me out!
