Donny watched in amazement as May single handedly took out about 25 soldiers within minutes. She was amazing with her new Kusari-gama, and he thanked his lucky stars she was on his side. But there was no time to watch, he quickly raised his bo staff to block off a foot soldier with a katana similar to his older brothers. He bashed the sword out of the man's hands and then kicked him in the gut, sending him flying in the opposite direction.
He looked back to make to see what other types of tricks May had up her sleeve, but little did he imagine that she would be stuck in the arms of a foot ninja from behind.
"Hold, on!" Donny whispered to himself as he attempted to rush over to free the girl. He tried his best, but more and more soldiers came from out of nowhere it seemed. "Where do you all keep coming from!" He asked one just before he swung his staff like a baseball bat.
He looked over his shoulder and saw the blonde being tossed over the side of the building. "MAY!" He called out distracted causing a soldier to kick his shell and forcing him to his knees.
The scientist looked back and noticed her scythe portion of her weapon attached to a satellite pole. 'Thank heaven.' He sighed and then flipped backwards standing back on his own two feet. He fought off the area leading to the edge where May was dangling by her chain in the hopes of being clear for a moment and helping her back to the fight.
But it just seemed like the foot would just appear out of thin air, they would not stop attacking him.
"Donny watch out!" The purple bandana turtle heard Mikey calling behind a wall of foot soldiers.
"Turtle cycle!" Mikey spun around on the back of his shell while swinging his nunchucks, giving Donny a breather for a moment. But there wasn't a moment to lose. He quickly looked over the edge to help the blonde girl up, but he froze as he watched her fall from halfway down the building. "MAY!" He screamed and jumped down with her.
But he was a second too late.
"Leo! Raph! Help!" Mikey called to his older brothers through the crowd of foot ninja.
The older two had taken probably a third of the soldiers out together, and hadn't even noticed their brother's or the girl they had both been competing for.
"Mikey, kinda busy!" Raph growled and cut a ninja with his sai.
"Be there in a sec!" Leo slashed three more down.
"No! It's May! She fell! Donny says we need to go now!" Mikey screamed hoping this would catch the brother's attention.
Both simultaneously the two brothers ran through the wall surrounding Mikey.
"What da hell you mean she fell!" Raph yelled kicking a ninja and looking over the edge.
Donny sat on his knees as he carefully attempted to bring May into his arms. She was laying on the concrete on her stomach with her left arm wrapped around her back and her right above her head. He also made note that her Kusari chain was dangling from a tv pole on the roof.
"May!" Leo yelled down distracted by the state his girlfriend had been in and a ninja stuck a knife into his thigh causing him to scream out in pain.
Raph shook his head and growled throwing his sai into the ninja's chest that had hurt his brother. He ran over and kicked him down while pulling his now bloody sai out.
Leo stood up, "Thanks. Let's get the shell out of here!" He nodded and looked down quickly at his brother now holding May in his arms. "Mikey, take May's Kusari! And help Donny!" Leo commanded. "Raph on my mark hop down and let's head back to the lair." Raph nodded in agreement.
Leo took a small pellet packet from his belt and raised it in the air. "NOW!" He yelled and threw the smoke bomb distracting the other ninja's for their get-a-way.
Quickly Raph pushed aside a man-hole down on the street for Don and Mikey to hop through. Leo stumbled back to his feet as the cut in his thigh began to burn a bleed even more.
"Go bro!" Raph whispered looking up and seeing the smoke clearing. Leo nodded and jumped down even though the cut in his leg screamed at him not too. Raph held onto the ladder and pushed back the lid right before the smoke cleared not allowing the foot a second more to figure out where the turtles disappeared.
"Come on, let's hurry as best as we can and then we can take a look at the damage." Leo ran forwards leading the way.
Donny held onto May close while Mikey ran alongside of him. He cringed at the bruise forming on the girls forehead; at this point it was already purple and black.
"Keep running Mike!" Raph grunted from behind him and the turtles ran through the sewer pipes even faster.
"Look what I found in her hand just before we escaped." Donny pulled out a small needle from his belt pocket.
Leo took it from his hand, "So she was poisoned?" He examined the syringe and noticed a blue liquid still left in the tube.
"Yes, and I'm glad she pulled it out. It could be deadly so we really need to keep moving forwards." Donny lifted May back in his arms while Mikey finished wrapping Leo's bleeding leg.
"You don't think she's gonna die, do you Don?" Mikey whispered hoping he wouldn't loose his friend.
"No, but we need to make sure she's okay. She fell from three flights, at least she hadn't fallen from six, 'cause there'd be…" He stopped as he looked at his younger brother's pale green face. Mikey gulped and tied Leo's bandaged.
"Well this is just great. Now the foot got poison for us now!" Raph punched his fist wanting to break a foot soldier's face.
"We just need to be more careful. That's all." Leo stood up with the help of Mikey and looked down at May. "She'll be fine. We just need to go to make sure she's okay, and so that Master Splinter doesn't worry." Everyone nodded except Raph.
"There you go again, Splinter Jr. We're only an hour early and you think Splinter is gonna fuss at us instead of worrying 'bout your girl! Some leada you are!" Raph yelled.
Leo growled, "I'm not only thinking of Splinter, I just don't want him to worry about us when we get back. We are already in rough shape as it is."
"No, you in rough shape! I'm fine!" Raph yelled back with his fists balled up at his sides.
"Raph, not now!" Donny pleaded, "We need to go back, Leo is right."
The hot headed turtle closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Fine." He crossed his arms. "Lead the way, fearless."
May woke up with an extremely bad headache. She was still in the alleyway that she had fallen from. "Guys?" She called out but no answer. "Hey guys!" She stood up brushing her outfit off. "Wow not even a scratch." She smiled looking at her body. But wait, what had happened to the needle she had pulled out of her neck. Surely that would have left a mark. She felt her neck and there had been nothing there. "What the hell?" She shook her head and wondered how could she had not been hurt falling from halfway down the building. "Damn…" She thought, 'Damn I'm good." She smirked and then looked around for her turtle friends.
"How are you feeling?"
May turned to the back of her. "Who's there?" She called out to a dark alley. Nothing. "Hello?" She walked down the pitch black hall in the hopes of finding someone. Anyone.
"May? What's wrong? Open your eyes!" She heard Donny's voice this time.
"What? They are!" She yelled back blinking her eyes afriad she had missed him in a dark alley...nothing...still not seeing anything.
After the turtles arrived back at the lair and after their short scolding session from Splinter, Donny rushed May into his lab to take some tests from the needle she had in her hand earlier and from the wound in her neck.
"How's it looking, Don?" Leo rubbed May's cheek hoping she would wake up soon.
"Better now. It looks like it is just a tranquilizer like the ones they use at zoo's to put the animals asleep when they get too rowdy. But from what I've found online, the tranquilizer may have some side effects on humans. Knowing the foot, those are probably meant for us, and since May was doing so well facing the foot they panicked and used it on her instead." Donny concluded.
Leo nodded feeling much better, "And her head?"
Donny walked over and examined, "Just a nasty bruise, but it doesn't look like a concussion." He looked at the other parts of her body that were visible from her ninja suit. He winced at the sight of her right wrist. "I think she had been holding on with the chain wrapped around her wrist. And while her body gave way, the chain pulled and loosened around her wrist," he held her hand carefully and pulled out some bandages to wrap her arm. "Lucky for her, that probably slowed her momentum, so instead of falling from three stories, she fell from one and a half." He sighed feeling better that she would be okay.
"Let's bring her to her room. Hopefully she'll wake in a decent amount of time." Leo picked her up and carried her carefully to her bed. Donny pushed back the blankets while Leo gently laid her on the soft bed. "Thanks for being there for her Donny." Leo shamefully thanked his brother while he took off her boots. "I should have protected her, but I lost sight of things. And for that I am sorry to the both of you." He placed her boots on the side of the bed while Don pulled the sheets to her chest.
"Leo, she's my friend too. And besides, you didn't see how much ass she had kicked before. She was amazing." Donatello smiled.
"Guys!" May hoarsely yelled out between the two brothers.
Leo shook his head surprised by her voice and touched her shoulder. "We're right here May-"
"Hey guys?" She cut him off as if she hadn't heard him.
"Donny…!" Leo sat back as May wiggled around on the bed. "What's happening?"
"She's hallucinating. Just be aware…" He watched her touch her neck where the needle had left a huge bruise. "What the hell?" She spat out and shook her head as if she were looking around for something.
"May, you're fine, just calm down." Donny whispered hoping she would hear him.
"Damn!" She spat out again and this time her legs started to kick around almost as if she were walking to go somewhere. She stopped suddenly and then started to whimper. "Who's there?" She screamed this time causing Mikey to run into the room.
"Is everything okay?" He asked.
"Yea, she's dreaming, violently…" Donny held her down by her shoulders.
"HELLO!" She pierced the boys ears with her scream this time causing Splinter and Raph to rush into the room.
"May? What's wrong? Open your eyes!" Donny yelled at her angry this time.
"What? They are!" She yelled back in response to his comment.
"She heard you!" Leo spoke the obvious while May gasped loudly and started to kick and whiter the covers off of the bed. "What is going on!" She cried out again.
Leo stood there frozen at the sight of his blonde beauty crying from her hallucination. He sat on her right side trying to be strong but he couldn't take the pain glowing in her face. He held onto the opposite side of her stomach and her right cheek, "May, it's okay. Please stop." He shushed her and she stopped almost instantly.
"What the shell is that about?" Raph crossed his arms not aware of the situation.
"Donatello, is Miss Gibson alright?" Splinter held onto his walking stick prepared to make a phone call to Miss O'Neil.
"Yes father she is just-"
Just then she started to scream ferociously causing all of the turtles to go on edge. Leo held her tighter. "May! Stop!" He held her back but she lifted herself up and started to kick and swing at him. He let her into his arms attempting to hold her down but she fought against him. "HELP!" She cried and pushed both her and Leo off of the bed.
Just then a bright green light blinded her down at the end of the alley. She ran towards it and gasped at the green diamond sparkling in the wall. "What is going on?" She wondered looking around still not seeing anyone. She shrugged and attempted to pull the diamond out.
"Don't touch that." The voice from earlier called out. She looked behind her and noticed a man dressed in a black suit with a matching top hat and cane smile at her.
"That belongs to me my darling." He smiled and pushed her to the side with his cane. He raised the cane to the diamond and almost as if there had been a magnet on the cane the diamond stuck to the top of it.
"Ah, much better." The man smiled and then glared at the girl. "Now it's your turn." He laughed evilly.
May backed into the wall of the alley, "Please, don't hurt me!" She cried out. She took another step backwards just as the man raised the cane to her face, but she fell though the wall. "Help!" She cried and screamed at the top of her lungs as a green light surrounded her.
"MAY! Wake up!" She heard Leonardo scream at her.
"No!" May screamed and then pushed out of someone's strong arms. She blinked a few times at the normal light fading from the green light.
"Miss Gibson please awaken!" May opened her eyes widely and saw Master Splinter standing in front of the girl with his walking stick near her out-stretched and bandanged right hand.
"Sensei!" She gasped and coughed feeling like the wind had been knocked out of her body. She looked around expecting to see the dark alley from before but instead she sighed at the warming familiar sight of her room in the lair. "Sensei. I-I…" She started to stand up but reality hit her like a ton of bricks. She gasped in pain at the right side of her body. Her hip hurt the most and it killed her to lose all of the will power to get up.
Splinter kneeled next to the girl with his walking stick behind his side. "You are safe now, please rest." He patted her panting head.
She tried to push herself up to see Splinter's face, but she just couldn't, no matter how many times she tried, her body would lose momentum and she'd fall back motionless.
"Please, Donatello, bring her some medicine, Michelangelo and Raphael, bring some food, something easy for her to swallow." Master Splinter commanded his sons and then looked to his eldest son.
"Sen..sei…" May moaned and flipped over on her back gasping at the pain on the right side of her body. Curious about the throbbing pain on her neck, she lifted her left shaking hand to the spot and winced as she touched the swollen spot. A cold hand latched onto her wrist pulling her fingers out from her skin, "Don't touch." Leo whispered and placed her hand on top of her stomach.
May smiled at the sight of Leo looking down at her, "I fucked up big huh?" She croaked out trying to hold back wet tears.
"Not at all." Leo looked down at his knees still with his hand on hers, "I messed up actually." He closed his eyes feeling so shameful for letting her get to this point. If he would have paid more attention to his team…if he would have at least made his way over to Don and May, then maybe she'd be fine…he should be the one in her position…
"Leo?" May's voice broke him out of his thoughts.
"Yes?" He whispered leaning into her face.
"He came back, that Fate guy." Leo stared back into the seriousness of her face. "He distracted me, and caused that stupid," She coughed and clutched his hand at the pain that consumed her body as she did so. "That stupid needle to get to me." She smiled, "It wasn't your fault. It was my own awareness that we should be blaming."
Splinter looked up at his son. "What is the meaning of this?" He asked kindly.
"I'll explain later father." Leo looked over his shoulder at his brother's returning with the supplies. "Place her back on the bed." Donny commanded as he mixed together two different liquids in a cup.
"No." May whispered, "I'm a big girl, Donatello. I can get up!" May smiled through the pain and lifted her back off the ground using most of her left arm and some of her right.
"Just let me help you." Leo protested placing a hand on her back.
May frowned and snatched it off as she sat up, "No! I want to prove to you that I'm not always the damsel in distress!" She stuck her tongue out and looked over to Splinter.
"I'm sorry you have to see me in this way, Master Splinter, but what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger." She closed her eyes smiling at the overgrown rat. He nodded, a little disapproved by her stubbornness, but gracious of her ability to fight.
"Yea, or just crazy." Raph grunted from the entrance. May just smiled opening her eyes, "Yea, that too." She faced Splinter and then using most of her left arm pushed her hips off the ground and making her way back to the bed one step at a time. Not wanting Donny to baby her, she sat on the bed Indian style and beamed at the turtle in purple. "Okay, I'm here, now what?" She raised her hands in the air, her left one higher than the right.
"Take this." Don handed her the cup of liquids, "And then you're going to explain to me what exactly happened." He crossed his arms while she gulped the liquid.
"Blegh!" She stuck her tongue out and frowned, "What the hell was that?" She coughed.
"Ohh ohhh! Me, my turn!" Mikey handed her a glass of milk and some applesauce. "Wash that down with this!" He sat on the foot of the bed. She snatched the food from his grasp and finished it quickly.
"Now," Donny took the dishes away from her and placed them on the night stand. "Tell us what happened after we left you in the dark alley." He sat on the floor kneeling and ready to listen.
"Okay well…"
After May explained to the others that she had seen that Fate guy (Which she explained to Splinter the whole background of meeting him in San Fran. Since they did not mention the whole situation when they returned) she felt as if her body had an instinct on how to fight the foot that attacked her. She didn't know how to explain it, but she just did what she felt. Then when the ninja threw her off she heard Fate again and distracted her from climbing back to the roof.
That's when Donny explained to her that she had fallen (on her right side explaining all of the pain only emitting from that part of her body) and luckily since she had wrapped the chain around her wrist it had stopped her momentum of her fall with each loop that unwrapped itself from her wrist.
It also explained why her wrist was all bandaged up. And why when she un-bandaged it, bruises from the metal chain links formed around it.
After the talk and a quick lecture from Splinter to all of his students, May begged Donny for a bath. Reluctantly, he finally agreed and she walked as quickly as she could off to the bathroom without grabbing any clothes to change into afterwards.
The warm steamy water unraveled the knots in her muscles and calmed her down completely. She sighed and closed her eyes totally relaxed at the calming sound the water made.
"May...my little May Flower…"
May opened her eyes and pushed the curtain aside expecting to see a person from which the voice came from. "Hello?" She called out into an empty bathroom. She looked around again and sighed.
"Come to me…"
She screamed this time, not wanting to take a chance at something attacking her like before. She heard the door to the bathroom being knocked down and feet rushing to the shower.
"Wait!" She held her hand out and then covered herself with the inside liner of the curtain. "Leo I heard something." She cried as he walked over to her. She rested her wet head on his shoulder as she panted. He examined the room quickly and then looked back at her. "Nothin's here. Are you hallu-"
"No! I swear I heard something!" She began to cry, "Please believe me…Leo…" She pulled him into a hug, the only thing separating her naked body from him was a flimsy shower curtain.
He closed his eyes, embarrassed by the flash of her naked ass, "I believe you but there is no one here…How about I stay in here while you finish showering. Just to be sure." She pulled away nodding and slipped back into the shower.
Leonardo sighed at the moment. How could he be so brave when he was scared for her. She was different for some reason and he needed to figure out why. He peaked around and then closed the door.
"Is she-?" Donny stood in the threshold of the door.
Leo nodded, "I got her."
The bathwaterr stopped and Leo could hear May wringing out her hair. "Hey, can you hand me a towel?" She stuck her arm out. Leo had been prepared and handed her a clean white towel, it was then he noticed the bruising on her wrist. As her arm slipped away, he turned his head downwards feeling shameful at the sight of her injury. 'I know she said it wasn't my fault, but I need to be stronger. I need to protect her and my brother's more. I need to train harder…'
"What's wrong?"
Leo looked up at the wet now brown haired girl. She smiled sweetly and held onto the towel with her right hand while her left cupped his chin.
"I should have protected you." He whispered while she frowned at him. "I told you Leo," She kneeled down while he continued to sit on the stepping stool, "Do not blame yourself. I need to become stronger. What doesn't kill you-"
"I know, I know, makes you stronger." He kissed her lips and then closed his eyes, "But what happens when you are killed…" He whispered slowing opening his eyes afraid of her reaction.
She sat still for a moment, the only thing that moved between the two was the water droplets that had not been dried from May's towel. A single drop from her damp hair fell onto her cheek and ran down her porcelain face, down the side of her neck. May sighed and latched onto Leo's face. She kissed him like she'd never let go. She didn't want to let go, but eventually, she needed oxygen to fill back into her lungs.
The two pressed their foreheads against the other's, "I won't die as long as your fight by my side." She whispered and smiled staring into his big green face.
The leader smirked and pulled her lips back onto his, he needed this, he needed her, but knowing the state she was in it was impossible. He reached from under her legs and pulled her up to sit her on his lap. Somehow, her right arm snaked around the back and she tugged onto his shell pulling their bodies closer.
She felt the towel slipping down, but she honestly didn't care. She just enjoyed the taste of him, the smell, the sensation of his shell on her fingertips. Everything about him drove her wild.
Leo pulled away this time and panted trying to collect his spilled emotions from off of the floor. May panted as well with her mouth slightly open. He felt heat on his cheeks as he noticed the towel around her body had almost fallen off. May giggled and held it together again while pushing her body off of the giant turtle.
"Thanks." She laughed and reached for another towel to wrap her hair in.
Leo stood up smiling, "Not a problem miss." He winked and walked to the door but a sweet voice pulled him back, "Wait for me, oh fearless one."
