When Raph and Cristen arrived back at the lair Leo, Don and Mikey were all standing around Dons laptop. Leo turned and nodded for them to come over.

"Whats going on Donnie?" Cristen asked sitting next to him on the couch.

"Im not exactly sure but its obvious that the Kraang are up to no good. Turns out, that new stadium that thier building isn't a stadium at all."

"Then what is it?" Asked Raph.

"Donnie thinks its some kindof portal." Leo said. "But much bigger than the one they had at TCRI."

"Fantastic." Cristen said sarcastically.

"We need to figure out what they're doing and when they're doing it. But in the meantime you and April should probably stay down here." Donnie said.

Cristen was about to respond when her phone buzzed signaling that she got a text. She glanced at her screen and seeing that it was from April she opened it. She gasped causing everyone to gather around her to look at her phone.

Up on the surface April was running frantically down the streets. On her way home an all to familiar white van started to follow her. Taking no chances, she ran into the nearest crowd and hid amongst the frantic New Yorkers. The truck passed by and she sighed in relief before turning back to go home. She turned right into someone's chest and she stumbled back mumbling apologies until she looked up. The Kraang droid reached out to grab her and in that split second she dropped a smoke bomb and was gone. Now running for her life, April whipped out her phone and sent a short text to the first person on her contact list.

'Kraang chasing me help!'

April rounded a corner just to be met with more Kraang. She tried to turn around but she was cornered. In a flash her tenzin was out and she settled into a defensive stance ready to hold of these creeps as long as she could.

Back at the Lair everyone jumped into the shellraiser and Donnie putting in Aprils location from the emergency tracking device in all of thier T-phones.

"You should've stayed home." Raph said. "They're already looking for you."

Cristen put her hair up in a ponytail and pulled her gloves on.

"Aprils my best friend. If I can do something to help save her I will."

"Her signal is moving guys." Donnie yelled. Leo followed Donnies directions until they realized where they were taking her. The giant stadium loomed in front of them.

"Dudes. That place is huge. There's probably a thousand Kraang in there."

"Mikey's right we would never get close to her." Leo said.

"Well then what are we supposed to do? Asked Donnie angerly. They started to argue loudly and Cristen just stared at the building. It didnt look that stable. It could easily be taking down. An idea popped into her mind.

"Guys. Guys!" They stopped arguing and turned to look at her. "I have a plan."

After she told them the plan they all sat in silence.

"That. Might acually work." Donnie said.

"No no no absolutly not. You are not doing that." Raph said. "You could get your self killed."

"Raph she'll be fine." Leo said. "Plus, unless you have another plan this is the only way we can get April back." Raph crossed his arms and looked at his brothers and then at his girlfriend.

"Fine. But you get in and out alright. If it takes to long I'm coming in to get you."

Cristen opened the door and was about to close it when Raph grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss.

"Good luck." He whispered against her lips. She smiled and shut the door before jogging in the direction of the building. She walked right in front of the door and sat down pausing before slipping off her neckalace. Her eyes closed and she took a deep breath focusing on her energy. Bright pink eyes shoot open as her hair seemed to float around her. She could faintly hear to sound of alarms coming from inside the walls which got louder when the doors opened and several Kraang came out guns loaded to to take her. Holding her hands up in surrender she allowed them to take her to a cell and throw her inside. The door shut behind her and she quickly pulled her necklace out of her pocket and put it on. If she had it on then her energy would be muffled enough for the Kraang not to realize it wasn't coming from their stuff. Or at least that was her theory. She walked up to the door and put her hands on it. They lit up and moments later the lock clicked allowing the door to swing open. No alarm went off so she proceeded with the plan and went to find April. Cristen hadn't trained that much with Splinter, but years of ballet had taught her to roll through your feet so you wouldn't make a sound so she was virtually silent as she make her way down the rows of empty cells. At the end of the hall was a cell with a larger door that was obviously different from any of the others. Creating a step out of pure energy so she would be tall enough, she peeked into the room to see it completly empty except for a passed out red-head strapped to a chair. Cristen gasped and pressed her hands against the door. This one took longer to open and she was a little winded when the door slid open. Running inside she unlocked April and shook her trying to wake her up. That didnt work so she grabbed her arm and pinched her as hard as she could. Aprils eyes snapped open and she started to scream but Cristen quickly slapped her hand over her mouth. She brought the other to her lips and motioned for April to be quiet. April nodded and they both made thier way out of the room. When they got to the crossroads between getting out and going deeper into the building Cristen headed towards the heart of the building and April pulled her back.

"What are you doing. The exit is that way."

"I know. But I told the guys that I was gonna take this place out, so thats what I'm gonna do."

"All by yourself? Are you crazy?"

"I'll be fine April. Go meet the guys I'll be out soon." Cristen turned to go and April pulled her back.

"No way. You're not going alone."

"April-"

"Because I'm going with you." Cristen smiled.

"Ride or die?"

"Ride or die."

April took out her tenzin and smirked.

"Where are they now Donnie?" Raph asked.

"Cristen found April now she's...wait their both heading towards the portal. That wasn't the plan. April is still weak she was supposed to come out."

"Donnie did you really think April was going to leave Cristen alone?" Asked Leo. "It's better this way. Now she'll have someone to watch her back."

"Woah thanks for watching my back." Cristen said as a Kraang droid fell behind her.

"No prob." April said panting. They ran towards the portal dodging lasers from the Kraang as they went.

"So whats the plan?" April asked as she pulled her tenzin out of another fallen robot.

"I need to get in the center of it." she said. April nodded and they made a run for it the last few meters. From the center of the room they were an easy target but Cristen raised her hands and instantly they were protected by a force field from all sides. April placed her hands on her knees and watched as the Kraang continued to fire shoots at then only to be sucked up by the field.

"Now what?" She asked.

"I have to create enough energy to blow this place up from the inside out."

"But isn't the field draining you?" She said.

"Not really. The energy from thier lasers is whats actually keeping it up right now."

Cristen took of her necklace stuffing it in her pocket and held out her hands and starting to form a ball of pure energy. It swelled getting larger and larger as she focused on it. Sweat started to pour down her face and the force field flickered allowing a beam to come through. April ducked and looked worryingly at her friend. The ball was now big enough to fit a person inside and the wind inside the field was blowing dangerously fast.

"April grab onto me!" Cristen yelled over the wind. April latched onto her and shut her eyes as Cristen raised the ball over her head. The light was blinding as the energy spread out destroying everything in its path. The supports of the structure gave and the walls fell around them. From outside the guys watched as the crumbling building fell.

"Come on guys." Leo said as they all ran out of the shellraiser. They crawled on top of the ruins see a clear space right in the center. April was supporting a passed out Cristen whose hair was still blowing around her. Raph took Her from April and saw the necklace hanging from her pocket. He slipped it around her neck and her hair fell down and he knew, even though he couldn't see them, that her eyes had turned back to violet.

"She will be fine Raph." Donnie reassured. "She's just exhausted." Raph nodded and watched as her chest rose and fell evenly. He believed Donnie but would feel better when she was awake.

Later at the lair Raph placed Cristen in her bed and layed next to her waiting for her to wake up. He ended up falling asleep and woke up a couple hours later to something tugging on his plastron.

"Raph." A soft voice said in the darkness. He reached out and grabbed the fabric on the of her shirt pulling her closer. She nuzzled into his chest and he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Did I do it?" She asked already falling back into sleep.

"Yeah. You did." He said kissing her hair."

"Yaaaay." She said softly before slipping back into sleep.

Raph smiled and eased himself from underneath her before kissing her forehead and leaving the room. April just happend to be walking past and stopped when she saw Raph finally leaving the room.

"Is she ok?" She asked.

"Yeah she was just up but she fell back asleep. You guys did good today." He said.

"Thanks. Now I hope I'll be allowed on more missions."

"I think you two have earned your place."

April smiled as they both headed out to be with the others.

Do you guys have any headcannons for Cristen or her relationship with Raph?
