Ch.23

"Alright, I'm not sure if it'll work on the first try so… I would keep the closet exit in mind," Don gave a nervous laugh as we heard the machine turn on. Taking a breath, seeing we were all still alive we waited for Don to start playing the disk. Pushing in the disk he typed away on his computer and looked straight at the machine crossing his fingers as it started to glow. A few second an image of Winters appeared smiling at everyone with his hands crossed.

"Good day my daughter, if you are seeing this than I have finally broken my curse and no longer amongst the living. Here is everything that will answer your questions. I must warn you though, the sin's I have committed will sadly affect you my dear and hopefully, seeing what I was trying to protect you from will help you understand why I had to do the things I did," with that he disappeared, as he did top secret charts popped ranging from Germany, Japan, Russia, Brazil, Vietnam and lastly the United States.

"What the shell?" Don uttered as Master Splinter narrowed his eyes at all the top secret files. Stepping up, I found the German file and pressed it. Instead of my hand going through it started to glow and opened up to a media player. Playing an auto tape that sounded very old. Amongst the voices we all heard a very familiar voice; Winters.

"Don can we-"

"A head of ya," then there was some English context.

"This is the first of human trial of a super human serum. From our subject, proven to be an immortal; from his blood we have constituted a sample and human trail shall start," As we heard the screeching of a chair dragging across the floor a series of pictures of the lab, scientist as well as the test subject appeared.

"Now I will begin by stating that patient, 102 is strapped to the bed because of our past experiences from our other unlucky guests," a small sick chuckle was heard as the doctor cleared his throat, "I have put patient 102 asleep by chloroform and will now start to inject the serum. Let's pray this works," silence filled the room as a small clinking of metal was heard.

"What happened?" Mikey asked as we all shushed him and continued to listen as someone started to moaning and groaning.

"It seems that patient 102 is taking to the serum less violently as the others. From what it seems, it looks as if his body is trying to decide if it will take the serum or not. This looks promising," the doctor seemed to get a bit giddy as Winter's voice came on to the tape.

"Don't celebrate yet, if this works, then it will be the first out of a hundred, we will celebrate when it actually takes to more patients," the doctor sneered.

"Just be happy that it might take to one you greedy fool," rubbing my temples I sighed as the patient's groans started to sound inhuman. Our heads popped up as panicked yelps were heard and the inhuman groans turned in to monstrous roars.

"What is happening?" a woman nurse shouted as we could hear something tearing and things being thrown.

"What have we done?" I could hear someone whimper as the auto stopped and the pictures continued to stay up. Everyone was silent taking in what all just witnessed.

"Ok, what did we just witness, because it was like the start of every horror flick when everything starts to get bad," Mikey was shaking as I then clicked the next one. Suddenly, a huge red skull and cross bones covered all the files and gave a wicked laugh. As it did Don's computer as well as the hologram machine started to short circuit and spark.

"No, no, NO!" Don tried to save it, but sadly the virus was quicker and we watched his beautiful creation instantly lose life. Falling back in his chair, Don gave me a sadly sigh, "Sorry Cat, who ever did this encrypted it with a lot of code. I can get through it, though it will take a while," Don started to tinker and type trying to undo the code and get rid of the virus. Sighing I walked up behind him and hugged him from behind.

"Thank you Don, this meant a lot," I laid my forehead on his shoulder as he cradled my head and leaned his against the side of my head.

"Don't worry, I'll get it up and running soon," nodding I kissed his cheek and walked out. I walked straight past the living room, then kitchen and then out the door. I needed to breathe and think. What the hell did I just listen to?

Watching as Cat left I didn't have the heart to follow her, so I stayed back and stared back at Mikey.

"Yo Mikey," looking up I motioned towards the door with my head, "Go with 'er, she doesn't need to be alone right now".

"No problem, cheering up the ladies is my specialty, Raphie," he laughed as I smacked him on the back of the head.

"Just get going shell for brains she moves fast'a than ya think," nodding he raced out after her as I turned back to Master Splinter who was deep in thought. We were all silent, Winters was in to everything… now this?

"Guys…" looking up Don stared back at us, "before I lost everything I saved a few files to my extra drive and look at the date on this," we all huddled over him as my eyes widened. Staring at where Don's green finger pointed all our eyes widened, the dates… this was insane. The first date started in 1896 then went all the way through both world wars… well, only the German file.

"Ok, this is impossible," Leo backed up as I stared back at the other corrupted files, "What is the date on the audio tape?" Don looked down and stared back at Leo.

"First world war…" Don stared back at the computer and brought up all the documents he had saved and stared to print them before they disappeared or anything else happened. Walking around the machine and remember all the files I shook my head, just like Leo said this was insane.

"Weird just loves to find us," I muttered as Don shook his head thinking the same thing as all of us.

"It makes sense, he was a conqueror, maybe he was going to try again," Don shrugged as he stood up and shook his head. "If so why didn't he use his generals instead of sending all the monsters back breaking the curse? What about the whole speech of picking up the pieces?"

"You have a point," looking up at the files like me Leo narrowed his eyes, "So what changed his mind?" tightening up my fists I remembered how Winters acted with her; happy, proud, compassionate?

"What ever this is, we need it figure out what this has to do with Cat?" I growled as Leo nodded.

"Don try to get through… what ever all this is," Leo tried to order as Don nodded and went to work with no hesitation. Master Splinter continued to stroke his beard and think.

"Masta'?" I asked as he looked up at me and waved me off. Walking out of the room I went to my punching bag. Meditating may have been the way that helped Leo and Master Splinter think this was mine. Whaling away at the bag, I started to think things through. Cat being shot; any person wouldn't have spun a spear, much ignore that kind of pain. Cat's protective awareness as well as her fighting skills; I could spar with her, knock her over and she still would get back up asking for more. The more I thought the harder I punched the bag. Then Winter's Corp, her transformation… instantly when I saw her glowing eyes again I thought back to the audio of the German scientist and I stopped. Was Cat an experiment? Then thinking back to all of the odd things I ran in to with my brothers, experiments alike, not once had I seen or hear someone call their experiment daughter. What the shell was happening?
