"So, I guess I'll stay here for a while." Cristen said when she finished telling April what had happend.
"That man is sick." April said with disgust. "I'm just glad Raph got there in time, and speaking of Raph..." She said raising an eyebrow.
Cristen laughed nervously. "Oh well would you look at the time." She said looking at her bare wrist. "I have to go to dance."
She went toward her room to change and Leo stopped her.
"Where do you think your going?" He asked crossing his arms.
"To the studio. Competitions in a month and I can't afford to miss."
She took a step and he held her back.
"Well the foot are after you so you can't afford to go."
She clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
"Leo." She said in the nicest voice she could muster. "If you don't let me go to my room to change very soon...it's not going to be pretty."
"Woah woah woah." Mikey said getting in between them. "Why don't we just escort her to dance. Then she can go and we can still make sure shes safe."
"But."
Raph stood up from the couch and walked over.
"Dude come on. It'll be fine. Plus," he said whispering to Leo. "Do you remember what happend the last time she was pissed off."
Leo's eyes widened and he dropped his arms in defeat. "Fine."
"Yay!" Cristen said her mood completly shifting. She hugged Leo tightly and did grand jetés all the way to her room.
15 minutes later they were hopping rooftops to Center Stage dance studio. Cristen was on Raphs back and half way there she got bored and started to give him light kisses on his neck. Raph jumped and crossed a particularly far gap before he said anything.
"If you don't want me to drop you. I suggest you stop."
She giggled and kissed his cheek.
"You would never drop me."
Raph smirked and jumped down from the building after his brothers throwing Cristen off his back. She scream and he dived towards the ground and rolled, holding his arms out just in time to catch her. She landed in his arms with her eyes clenched shut. When she realized that she wasn't dead she looked up at Raph in shock.
"Oops." Raph said smiling.
"Ha ha very funny." She said as he put her down. They were in an alley right beside the studio.
"We'll meet you right here after your done." Raph said.
"Got it." She answered with a nod. They stood uncomferably for a second before Cristen stood on her tiptoes and gave Raph a quick kiss.
"Bye." She said quickly running around to the front of the building.
"Ohhhhhhh."
Raph turned to his brothers and glared.
"Shutup." He said. He turned and scaled the building of the studio leaving Leo Donnie and Mikey to exchange looks. Even though Raph tried to seem angry, his cheeks had been as red as the mask on his face.
Cristen had dance for two hours that day so the guys had to entertain themselves until she was done. Mikey had been looking around the roof when he discovered something.
"Guys! Come here!" He said calling them over. They were all bored so in a few seconds they were all surrounding a small window that angled into the room. Inside Cristen was talking to a women who they figured was the teacher. Raph gulped when he realised that she was no longer wearing her sweatshirt and pants but had striped down to a simple sports bra and booty shorts. No one else was in the room except for them. The woman walked over to to a corner while Cristen walked to the center of the floor and she turned on the music. Cristen fluttered across the floor. Her legs extending above her head and doing several turns into breathtaking jumps.
"Wow." Donnie said.
Leo eyes followed her as she traveled across the floor. "She's amazing." He felt bad for telling her that she couldn't go. Obviously dancing for her was like ninjutsu for him. He couldn't just not do it. The music ended and the teacher just nodded she walked over to her and started to give her corrections on what she did wrong.
"Oh come on lady. That was perfect." Raph said rather loud. Cristen froze and the teacher started to look around. The guys quickly backed up from the window.
"Raph we are supposed to be-"
"Silent. Yes. I get it." Raph said.
Cristen walked out from the studio half and hour later and went to the alley where the guys were waiting for her.
"Woah, there's our superstar." Mikey said wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She smiled .
"So it was you guys." She said. "I thought that voice sounded familiar." She said looking at Raph.
"Well I was right." He said. "You were amazing." She walked up to him and cupped his cheeks in her hands smiling.
"Thanks baby." She said before kissing him softly.
"Ewww, get a room." Mikey said. Cristen laughed and jumped on Raphs back.
"Ok let's go."
They started to head back towards the lair when a helicopter started flying above.
Leo looked up and narrowed his eyes.
"Kraang."
He turned towards Raph and Raph nodded jumping down into an alley. The others ran for a while until they finally jumped down. The Kraang helicopter flew past and they all let out thier breath. Then several Kraang jumped down from above and surrounded them guns loaded.
"Oh sewer bunnies." Leo said drawing his katanas. From a couple streets away, Raph and Cristen could hear the sounds of battle.
"Raph you should go help them." Cristen said. Raph turned to her suprised he had been thinking the same thing but-
"But...I just can't leave you." He said.
"I'll be fine. I promise."
Raph searched her eyes and then grabbed her hand leading to a space behind a dumpster.
"Stay here ok."
She scrunched her nose at the smell but agreed. He kissed her forehead and jumped away towards the battle. Sitting in the little cubby, Cristen listened to the battle crys and laser blasts in the distance. Then she heard loud foots steps getting closer to her. It was way to loud to be any of the turtles so she sat quietly waiting for whatever it was to pass by. When it seemed like she was in the clears she let out her breath and rested her head on te brick wall. Suddenly the dumpster flew away and she sat exposed in front of two armed Kraang droids.
"We have found the one who is with the ones called the turtles." Said one.
"Kraang will take you to a place that is not this place before the turtles are in this place."
Cristen blinked taking that all in.
"Wait...what?"
The Kraang advanced toward her and she got up and pressed herself against the wall. She looked around for something to defend herself with and remembered her new found abilities. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When they opened they were glowing a bright pink and her fists were surrounded with pink energy.
"I would stay back If I were you." She said.
"The one who is with the turtles is giving off the energy that is Kraang." The Kraang droids lifted thier guns and pointed them at Cristen. She held up her hands and a wall came up in front of her. Every shot that was fired was absorbed in to the wall. After a while te Kraang stopped firing.
"This is what is known as not good." Said one Kraang. Cristen smirked.
"You got that right." She punched into the wall and it shot towards the Kraang throwing them against the opposite building. The brains popped out and scurried down the alley.
"Yeah! Cristen 1 creepy robots 0."
She started doing a victory dance when the guys jumped down from the roof.
"Woah." Leo said looking at the Kraang. "What happend here?"
Raph jumped forward eyes wide and picked Cristen up by her shoulders.
"Are you ok? Did they hurt you? Donnie come-"
"Raph I'm fine. I blasted those fools into next week breh." Raph sat her down looking at the totaled bots.
"Oh...nice." She rolled her eyes jokingly and tugged his bandana tails.
"C'mon hotshot. Lets go home."
She walked down the alley and they all stared at her.
"She is such a badass." Mikey said. Leo smacked Mikey for swearing and followed Cristen towards the lair.
