Leo quickly moved them along the sewers, bringing up the rear. He kept his attention fixed as much behind him as ahead of him. Karai was not one to underestimate and his hunch had been proven right when he noticed shadows following far behind. "Pick it up guys. We got company."

"Well isn't that great." Casey muttered.

"Just keep moving, bone head." Raph told him. Leading them in the direction that had been agreed upon earlier. He shifted Brian in his arms to where he had an arm free, slinging him over a shoulder.

Raph and Splinter led the way into a large chamber, it's roof hidden in the shadows wasn't so much a floor as it was a large basin to catch the city's run off water. There was a long, now railless, the safty rails had been removed earlier, narrow walk way that dead ended over this basin. It was those shadows above that they were now seeking. Up they went, the turtles helping their human friends. "Everyone stay quiet." Leo mumbled softly. He carefully set Vicky down on a ledge and the others did the same with their human loads.

"Keep an eye on Brian. He should be waking up soon." Donnie said quietly, pulling out a blanket from the bag they had stashed there earlier and covering Brian's naked form up. "Don't let him fall. And for god's sake keep him quiet." Three heads nodded.

The four turtles and their master then moved into position just as the floor below them filled with Foot. Leo then looked at his youngest brothers and they nodded. Leo and Raph landed quietly on the walk way, very close to the end. "Hey! You stinking fungus feet want to come play!" Raph shouted.

"Fungus feet? Really?" Leo looked at his brother amused as the bridge began to fill with Foot. "Your losing your edge Raph."

He snorted. "That's not the edge that counts." He twirled a sai. Then put it to use as the first few Foot reached them. Leo and Raph held them off, waiting for the rest to join their comrades on the narrow bridge. Finally they could't wait any longer, they were getting crowded. "Now!" Lee snapped.

Leo and Raph dived off of either side and then grabbed ropes that had been placed there earlier and swung out of the way as Mikey and Donnie came swinging down from the shadows, with Donnie's staff stretched out between them. You would think with the Foot being ninjas they would be a bit more alert to their surroundings, Leo thought amused as he swung back up to the other end of the walk way, avoiding the Foot that were now being knocked off of the bridge. You could tell where Mikey and Donnie were by where the foot were flying over the side. Leo reached the end of his swing and released the rope with a spin and landed back on the walk way. Raph nearly mirroring his movements. By now Mikey and Donnie had finished their pass and there was a lot less Foot on the bridge. Some of them must of been smart enough to duck. Leo and Raph tore into these last few and soon they had joind their friends in the basin.

Then splinter turned the water realease valve and water came pouring out of a pipe next to him. They watched as their pursuers were washed away in the city's run off system. "Well that was-" Donnie slapped his hand over Mikey's mouth before he could finish.

"Don't say it. Every time you say that something goes wrong." Donnie muttered.

"To late, he thunk it." Raph said and pointed. There were more coming.

Leo looked quickly at Raph. "Time for plan B." Raph nodded and set himself as Leo came running in. He launched his older brother in the air over the entryway, where there was a large grate suspended over the opening and it's chain was Leo's target. He swiftly cut the chain and the large grate slammed down infront of the now stunned Foot, effectivly cutting them off.

"Curse you!" He heard a voice say from the other side.

Leo calmly turned and looked. "Leave it alone, Karai. Your father deserved everything he got from me that night. If you keep hounding my friends and family you will get the same. He never learned that lesson, I'm hoping you will be smarter." The look he gave her was filled with that deadly promise and she actually shrunk back from his gaze. He then joined the others in the shadows above.

Leo led them as they walked quietly back into the lair, Donnie and Raph making a beeline for the lab with the still knocked out Brian. Leo and Vicky made their way over to the couch where Lucy was sleeping. Vicky softly shook her and her eyes sleepily opened. "Hey, there is someone in the lab for you." Vicky smiled down at her. Lucy immediately shot up and ran to the lab. Vicky looked over to Leo. "I think she is happy."

"What gave it away? The big grin or the smoke coming out from under her feet?"

She laughed as she walked over to him, and he took her into his arms. "Your in a good mood tonight." She said.

He smiled. "I could always go Raph on you if you want."

"I dare you to try it. One grouch is enough." Then she grinned. "So...when are you going to remind him that he lost the bet?"

Leo grinned himself. Raph really didn't want Vicky to help out, he didn't think she was ready to face the Foot yet. Leo had finally had to resort to a bet to get his temper to calm back down. It was a simple bet, if anything went seriously wrong Raph won, if it didn't Leo won. Raph couldn't resist a good bet and Leo had dangled a good wager over him. "I'm going to just leave it for right now. I'll get him, don't worry."

She chuckled. "Your mean."

"I have those moments, yes." He winked at her.

The next night they were once again standing on the rooftop next to the Bachman building. This time they were going to go in. They had something to do that needed to be done. Leo looked over to Donnie. "Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Positive. By the time I'm done it will take them weeks to get their systems back up and running. Not to mention all their research will be lost."

Leo looked around. "Everyone ready?" Three heads nodded. "Let's go."

Once again they made their way into the vent shaft, the reinforced new grate doing little to slow them down. This time Donnie led the way as they carefully made their way through the vent tunnels. He had gotten detailed directions from Brian and knew exactly what he was looking for. They traveled the maze of tunnels until he found the grate he was looking for. "Here it is..." He muttered. He removed the cover and slipped his head down. Not seeing anyone there he silently dropped down, the others following.

They were in a room filled with computer equipment. This was where all the information was stored and Donnie was about to work his magic on it. Donnie pulled something out of his bag and removed one of the panels from the side of one of the large machines. He worked quietly as he combined his device with theirs then began to upload his nasty little surprise. The effect was almost instantly noticed as the lights began to flicker, apparently the computer ran those too.

"There that takes care of all the files, and anyone that tries to access them outside of this building will get a piece of my cake too." Donnie chuckled. "Now for Raph's favorite part." He flashed a quick grin at his red masked brother, who returned it. "Time to blow shit up." Donnie pushed a couple buttons on his device and shortly after the building started to shake as his little bug started to wreck havoc on the machinery in the building. "Time to go!" He quickly unhooked his device as the vibrations became more profound.

They scrambled back up into the vent and quickly made their way out as explosion after explosion ripped through the building. The little bug Donnie had put into the system making everything that was plugged into the system overload and explode, from the large lab equipment down to the smallest coffee pot. If it was plugged in, it went boom.

They shot out of the vent just as a larger explosion rocked the building. "I think they just lost their secret basement lab." Donnie grinned as they ran to the edge of the building.

Once again on the safety of the near by roof top, they watched as explosion after explosion swept through the building. Raph grinned as he looked at Donnie. "Donnie, I don't say this often, but I love you. This is fun."

"Yeah, bro. It's a good thing your on our side." Mikey laughed as yet another explosion rocked the building. "I'm not used to fireworks this time of year."

"My goodness, they sure do have a lot of stuff." Donnie smiled as another explosion rang out.

Leo laughed. "Not anymore. Come on, we did what we came to do. It's time to go."

They quietly slipped away into the darkness.

.

The next few days passed quietly. Donnie kept Brian under observation to make sure there was no relapse and had finally given him the all clear. Donnie and Raph had used that time to continue their secret project they had been working on the last couple of weeks. Finally they had announced it was ready.

They were gathered in the living room waiting for everyone to gather.

Leo looked around, they were waiting on Raph and Amy. And he grinned when he realized why. He had to enlist the little girl's help on getting Raph to fufill his lost bet agreement.

He turned to Lucy and Brian. "You guys ever figure out what you are going to do now?"

Brian looked at him. "We decided to go back home, I'm suddenly homesick for all the flat land and wheat fields."

"And cows." Lucy added. "Don't forget the cows."

"Just don't get blown away to Oz." Mikey grinned at them and they laughed.

"Where in the heck is Raph?" Donnie muttered. "This was his idea-" He cut himself off and quickly slapped a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. The others turned to look.

Amy had come in the room with a hot pink cat costumed clad Uncle Raphie in tow next to her. The drawn sais kinda took away from the cuteness effect. "Not a word out of any of you..." Came his deathly quiet voice. The room was filled with sounds of muffled laughter.

Trying real hard to hold in his laughter Donnie led them to the large playroom. He looked down at Dennis and Amy. "Your Uncle Raph and I decided you needed something to burn off the energy. We know you can't go up to the playgrounds up top very often, so we did the next best thing." And he opened the door. The room was filled with playground equipment, swings, slides, a merry-go-round and a few other things. With a squeal the two children tore into their new stuff.

"Come push me, Uncle Raphie!" Amy squealed with delight.

The pink clad turtle walked across the room and did as he was asked. Right up to the point when a camera flash lit up the room. Raph stopped and slowly let his gaze settle on a grinning Mikey. "Uh ooooH..." Mikey said as Raph stalked in. "Yikes!" He turned and ran.

"Come back here with that camera!" Raph shouted as he took up the chase. "MIKEY! I'm going to hurt you!"

The rest of them exploded into laughter. Leo had to wipe the tears from his eyes he was laughing so hard. Then pulled Vicky close. "Thank you for saving me from that embarrassment." He grinned at her.

"Oh, I bet I can make you look just as silly." She said with a small smile. Donnie was looking their way with a knowing grin.

"I doubt that." Leo smiled.

"I'm pregnant."

Leo stood there for a moment to let that sink in. Then his mouth dropped open and tears sprang to his eyes. Before he could say anything a green blur ran by, and this time the camera flash was aimed at him when it went off, then it passed with a pink blur right behind. "I'm going to make you eat that camera!" Raph hollered as he passed by.

Leo just ignored it all and held Vicky close. This he really wasn't expecting but it thrilled him anyway. Nothing could ruin this moment for him, well almost. He quickly tightened his grip and flipped himself and Vicky into the air as Mikey finally got tackled by Raph and they bowled right through where they had been standing.

He landed softly a short distance away. Leo couldn't help but smile, as much as things changed there were always things that stayed the same in his crazy family. He wouldn't have it any other way.
