Chapter 16: Reunion

Raph's POV

Leo has kids…kids that Karai and Bishop practically built in the way that the children's DNA was set up.

Both Kyogen and Uen are designed to be warriors and both of them have suffered a great deal.

Uen was paced in hiding and forced to fear herself and everything about her.

Kyogen? He was convinced that he was meant only to be weapon and forced into a sadistic love of bloodshed. In short a version of my Brother without morals or honor.

According to what April has learned Kyogen is borderline psychotic and Uen is very withdrawn and quiet.

From what I saw of the girl when Tony and Leo took her downstairs and out to the car, she's very shy.

She actually looked a little scared of us.

I sigh as I glance at Leo who is frowning while talking to Don.

Mike and April are going over where we could set up a base in order to keep the Foot away from her and Casey as Don and Leo discuss various strategies for getting a hold of Kyogen in order for Leo to talk to him.

Leo's hoping that Chapman's "talk" will have opened the proverbial door for Leo to convince Kyogen that he doesn't have to side with Karai.

Uen stated that she was very concerned with whether or not Kyogen would go insane from the knowledge, let alone whether or not the young man will accept it.

"Leo," I state waiting until my brother glances up at me.

"Yeah?" he inquires.

"I'm going for a run, test the waters sort of thing. I'll be careful," I state.

Leo frowns but after a few moments he nods.

With Leo's permission I slip out of April's window and scale the fire escape up to the roof, slipping into shadows as I glance around; eyes narrowing as I search the area around me.

After I'm satisfied that no one is spying on April's place I take off towards Foot headquarters in order to assess their strength.

We at least need an idea of what we are up against.

Just as I am jumping from one roof to another I hear a familiar revving of a motorcycle and as I land on the other roof I turn and look down.

The bike…it's familiar somehow…

I frown as I notice the rider's jacket….it's got the symbol of the Foot on the arm.

I move fast, scrambling down the, fire escape and throwing a shurikin at the front tire.

I don't know why this bike is familiar but I want to know.

As the rider and bike come to a screeching stop and I hear a string of curses I stalk forward and grab the figure by the front of his shirt and pull him upright.

"Hi," I greet, "I'm Raphael…and I've got some questions for ya'. The best part? You're going to answer them," I state grinning as the man's eyes widen in panic behind his visor, "Got it?"

The man twists, trying to get out of my grip and I jerk his helmet off before smashing my forehead into his.

I grunt as he slumps limp.

I drop him before looking over the bike, its familiarity is pulling at me. Then I pause, eyes widening when I spot the tear in the seat of the leather.

It's her bike…from all those years ago…

I can't help the smile, even now I respect her spunk. Then I frown…why is her bike in the hands of the Foot?

She could've sold it for all I know.

I glance down at the soldier below me and frown; at least he might be able to give me some answers…

I grab the back of his uniform and throw him over my shoulder before slipping into a side alley and tossing him down.

He groans and slowly wakes as I squat a few feet away, playing with one of my Sai as I wait for this idiot to wake up.

He sits up and then scuttles backward in shock at the sight of me sneering at him and roughly collides with the alley wall behind him with a soft yelp of surprise.

"Back off!" he snarls.

"What're you going to do if I don't? Yell me to death?" I remark dryly.

The man grows silent then grunts.

"Asshole," he mutters.

I laugh in response.

"Funny you're the one whose on the wrong side here bud. Now…I've got a few questions for you," I snicker, standing to my full height of six-five.

He flinches at the sight of my Sai.

"You must be Raphael…" he states, his silvery-grey eyes narrowing in defiance.

"Lookin' for brownie points?" I ask with a raise of my left eye-ridge.

"No…but you are the second most dangerous of the Hamatos if I'm right," he replies, "Deemed the 'Secret Weapon' by your kin."

I snort in response.

"Second most deadly?" I scoff, "Whose the most in Karai's opinion?"

"Leonardo…or rather…The Blue Demon," the man states, "The most lethal of all of the Hamatos and the most…unusual."

I frown.

"I got news for ya' kid…Leo might be a bit scary at times…but I'm the one ya' ought to be worried about," I hiss, before leaning in and sneering down at him, "Now…about my questions…"

The man squirms back and it's then that I realize, he's really just a kid…barely sixteen.

"You're just a kid," I hear myself whisper and step back watching him, "What's Karai doing recruiting kids?"

"I'm not a kid," he spits, "I-"

The sound of a door opening cuts him off and I move fast, slipping into shadows and cursing my luck as the kid starts to get up to run.

"Ian?" I hear a woman gasp, "Ian is that you?"

The kid turns and freezes at the sight of a woman I recognize standing in the doorway.

"Mom?" the kid breathes, then turns and runs, "I-I can't I have to…"

I snarl and make a grab at him as he shoots past me in his desperate attempt to flee.

I stumble over my own feet and crash to my knees causing the woman I recognized to crash into me in her haste to follow the kid. We end up a crumpled heap with her on top of me.

I growl in frustration and start to get up freezing as her eyes meet mine.

I can't move, he brown eyes rip my attention away from everything else.

"Um…sorry," she mumbles, struggling to get up, eyes widening when she gets a better look at me, "I…my son he's been missing for weeks…"

"Um…I…he's gotten himself into some trouble…I was…ah-" I stammer.

Why the hell can't I talk?

Then it clicks that she is in my lap and I feel my cheeks burn slightly.

Her eyes widen again and she looks at me closer as if trying to place my face, her black hair falls over her shoulders.

"Ah…yeah I…can I get up?" I ask after clearing my throat.

"You're the…the…the Nightwatcher!" she exclaims suddenly.

My eyes widen.

"Wah?" I sputter, struggling to figure out how she put that together.

"Your voice! You helped me get my bike home one night!" she gasps quickly getting up and staring down at me, "You…I recognize your voice."

I just stare at her and struggle to make my brain catch up to what is happening and slowly I get up at look at her, eyes narrowing in suspicion.

But she is simply stunned, brown eyes wide, one hand brought up to her mouth so that she is biting her knuckle.

"You…I've…I always wanted to say thank you…" she whispers after a moment.

I clear my throat and nod, then I remember her and turn my gaze towards the battered bike on the curb.

"I cut your seat with my armor that night," I whisper before looking back at her, "Didn't I?"

She nods slowly.
