Chapter 3
Donnie told Raph to wait a minute outside so he could clean up a bit, by putting all his Krrang stuff away and get his first aid kit out. When he was done Raph put her of the table she was on before she started screaming her head off, insisting she was fine.
Meanwhile, Leo started cleaning the storage room while Mikey made the call to their human friends. Mikey finished the call in about 5 minutes and then helped Leo clean. After dropping off Amaya, Raph come to help his brothers.
"Hey bros, you think she could be related to us?" Mikey asked curiously. Leo looked to Mikey and then Raph who returned the look of shock. Leo and Raph didn't know what to say to their baby brother. Neither one wanted to rise his hopes of another sibling, or destroy the thought. Not even Raph thought he could say the wrong thing to these baby blues that Mikey had.
Raph was the first to speak up, "Mikey, I think that's a question you should be asking the doctor of the family. Don't ya think?" Mikey then nodded in understanding. Mikey know that if he wanted to knew about DNA work he had to go to Donnie, not Leo or Raph.
As they finish their cleaning, they heard Casey yelling at Raph. "Yo, Raph, you in here?" The red banned brother then lead the way to their 'front door', where Casey had a mattress in hand. April was standing next to him with blankets and pillows. Leo and Raph took the mattress from Casey and Mikey took the bedding from April.
"Why do you guys need another bed and more bedding. Did you guys get a guest or something?" April asked as she followed the turtles with Casey at her side.
Just then Donnie came in with some papers in hand. "Hey April," he then noticed Casey at her side, "Casey."
"Donnie." The two then started a staring contest.
"Donnie, what's with the papers?" April said to break up their little contest to get to the bottom of this.
"Oh, well I was doing some tests on Amaya..."
"Who's Amaya?" She interested again. Raph then explained their last night rescue to the two humans so that Donnie could get to his point.
"Well as I was saying I did some tests on her and turns out, we got a new sister." He finished. There was a large grasp from everyone. Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey now had a sister.
It took a few minutes for it to skink in. But that wasn't all Donnie had to say. "She also can't walk for at least 24hours because of the Krrang. So someone's going to have to carry her around, which we all know how she loves that." Raph was the first to volunteer, then Leo and then Mikey. That made Donnie smile at how they cared for her even though she didn't trust any of them or want their help.
April was getting so excited that she could hold back the question anymore. "Can I meet her? Who knows, we could become friends. So if she trusts me, then I can reassure her that it's ok to live with you guys." Donnie thought about it for a minute and then said that it was ok with him if it was ok with his brothers, which they all said that it was ok.
The four brothers then lead their friends to the table when she had pulled her knees to her chest again. A sheet was covering her knees and her arms, where on her knees, crisscrossed. She wasn't paying attention to the doorway. Donnie knocked on the door frame, which got her attention.
"Hey there Amaya, you feeling ok? You look like you've gotten sicker then when I left you, a few minutes ago." Donnie said as he walked over to her to check her temperature again. But she swatted his hand away from her forehead and turned her head to the other side. Leo and Raph told the others to stay there as they walked to the depressed girl.
Leo stood next to Donnie while Raph went to her other side to face her. "Amaya," Raph started, "you need to let one of us feel that head of yours. Now you got the choice of me, Leo, Donnie, or Mikey. Or we got some friends of ours that would like to meet you, they could check ya if ya wanted." She huffed but didn't make a sound or movement as he felt her head. "No temper, so that's good. I guess your just upset because you're stuck wherever we put ya, ha." She tried to get up to prove him wrong but Raph stopped her. Her eyes sharpened as she looked at Raph. But she then huffed in defeat and looked at the door. She saw Mikey and the two humans who she imaged were their friends.
"What's their names?" She said looking at April and Casey. April stepped forward and introduced herself and so did Casey.
"So are you really, their sister? Are you the same age as them? Did you live with them when you were little?" April questioned quickly.
Amaya hesitated for a minute to think of the questioned asked. "I was made with their DNA, so I'd say yes to being their sister, I guess. I was mutated a year ago but when I was mutated, they used a fourteen year old turtle so yes, we're the same age, and that answers the third question." April then thought to herself 'she definitely has Donnie's brain and a little bit of Raph's temper.'
"hey Raph," Casey whispered in his ear, "she doesn't look to happy to be stuck in here. Do you think that she'd be happier in the living or in, you know. In a room that doesn't look like Krrang's place." He didn't whisper the last part enough so that she couldn't hear him talking. The four brothers all wide eyed as they all heard Casey and so did Amaya.
Her eyes looked like they were about to pop out of her head. Her body was trundling as she turned to Casey. Raph slapped his hand over Casey's mouth and looked at his newly found sister. She looked like she did when she first met them in Donnie's lab a few hours again. Tears were in her eyes. She was bearly holding them back as the horrible memories flooded back to her. Amaya's grip on the sheet grow tighter and she looked like she was watching people dying with these helpless eyes.
Mikey ran over to her and hugged her tight. As he did so, the tears fell down her freckled cheeks. There was no sounds of her crying but her tear just fell down like a water fall. Leo and Donnie joined their hug while giving the Casey an annoy look.
Raph drugged Casey while April following them, to the living room. "You idiot," he started his quiet yells, "didn't I tell you that we just recused her last night!" Raph was pissed off. It was like Casey just made one of his brothers cry, or something.
"Well sorry Raph, I was just thinking that she was just upset because she was stuck in a place that reminded her of the Krrang's place. How was I suppose to knew that she would start crying like that?"
"You use this thing in your head calling a brain, unless you don't got one!" Raph poking Casey's forehead. He was just so angry at him for making Amaya cry like that. Then April stepped in.
"Ok boys, how about Casey apologizes to her and then we can get the rest on the stuff for her, deal?"
Casey turned to her with a confused face. "What do you mean, Red? I thought that we got all the stuff." April just looked at him like he idiot for a minute and then took his hand to make him apologize to Amaya.
When they got back in the room, the three other brothers had let her go but where still surrounding her. April pushed them back a bit and told Amaya that Casey was here to apologize to her.
There were still tear marks on her cheeks but they had stopped rolling down her face. She looked at him as he said he was sorry. She told him that she was just being a baby for crying over a word but excepted his apologize anyway. Raph walked in when, April asked Donnie for a tape measures and he handed it to her. "What are you doing with that?" Worry was in Amaya's voice.
"Don't worry, I'm just getting your measurements." April replied as she measured her waist.
"Why?" Mikey asked before Amaya got the chance to ask another question.
"Mikey, there's somethings that are different about girl than guys. Like how she's going to need a shirt and some shorts." April laughter a like he knew what she was talking about. But he didn't.
"Why, me and my brothers don't wear clothes." Mikey contained. April looked at Leo and Donnie. It was now apparent to her that Mikey had not gotten a lesson about girls just yet. Leo was whistling and trying to look at her in the eyes while Donnie rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"Well, ohm, girls need to, ohm. You see, ohm... Girls need their, ohm... Things covered..." April tried to explain it to him but she couldn't find the right words. Raph saw her problem and took over the constitution.
"Girls are just weird that way. They just need to have something covering their chest and butt. You got that, Mikey." The youngest brother then nodded. While April silently thanked the second oldest turtle and finished the measurements.
"Hey Amaya," April started as she stood to make her left, "it was nice meeting you. We'll back later, guys." Then the brothers' friends left to getting the rest of the supples they'd need for Amaya.
