Amy had almost gone unconscious by the time she heard Leo's voice.
"I found her!" He yelled as he ran over and kneeled down. "Amy?"
Amy wasn't shivering anymore; she was too weak. "L-Leo…?" she breathed softly.
Leo picked her up in his arms. "Don't worry. You're safe."
Amy began shivering again, pressing close to Leo, happy to feel his warmth. She must have blacked out for a minute, for when she opened her eyes she could see the shell razor. Connor poked his head out, his eyes wide.
"Amy!" he gasped as he saw her shoulder. "What happened?"
"No time for explanations." Donnie said from inside. "If we don't get her back to the lab, she's not gonna make it."
"Hurry up and put her in the back." Amy closed her eyes as she heard Raph's voice.
Amy wined as Leo set her down gently in the back of the vehicle, covering her with a blanket as it started to move. "Amy, are you alright? Can you hear me?"
Amy opened her eyes slightly. "Y-Yeah… I-I'm f-fine… j-just a little c-c-cold…"
Leo gave her a small smile before looked to the front. "Can't you drive any faster Raph?" he called.
"I'm goin' as fast as I can Leo." Raph growled back.
Amy felt her eyes closing; she hardly heard Leo telling her to stay awake, nor did she listen as she drifted to sleep.
Amy soon woke up and she was in Leo's arms again, rushing towards the lair. "Leo…?" she breathed, blinking.
Leo slowed down slightly. "Amy, I told you not to sleep." He said, looking down at her.
Amy gave him a small smile. "I-I was tired." She replied.
Leo looked back up. "Well don't do it again. You've lost a lot of blood, and if you sleep, you might…" his voice drifted away.
"D-Die." Amy finished for him. "Yeah, I k-know."
"So who shot you?" Leo asked.
Amy stiffened, remembering what had happened. "J-Just some p-purple dragon." she told him softly. Amy was half telling the truth, seeing as her father was a purple dragon.
Leo opened his mouth to reply, but Donnie nudged him. "Put her on the couch." He ordered. "I'll get my supplies." He rushed into his lab without waiting for Leo to reply. Amy winced as Leo set her down on the couch, sitting down next to her.
Connor looked at Amy wide eyed when he saw she was awake; he rushed to her side. "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
Amy nodded, smiling. "You c-can't get rid of m-me th-that easily." She joked.
Connor smiled back. "I learned that a long time ago. I'm glad you're alright."
Amy closed her eyes, wincing and holding her shoulder. "W-Well, half alright." She corrected. As she said that, Donnie came back out with his first-aid kit.
"How many times am I going to have to use this on you?" He said half annoyed, half smiling.
Amy smiled back. "U-Until I d-don't w-want you to."
Donnie rolled his eyes and began bandaging the wound. "The bullet went straight through." He reported. "You're lucky."
"L-lucky?" Amy scoffed. "I g-got shot."
Connor looked at Leo, eyes narrowed. "I told you we should have gone looking for her."
Leo kept looking at Amy. "I thought she could take care of herself." He replied.
"Oh yes, seeing how well it turned out last time." Connor shot back.
Amy glanced at Connor. "C-Connor. It's f-fine, really."
"It's not fine." Connor snapped. "You could have gotten killed! I knew I should have gone looking for you."
Leo stood up and looked at Connor. "She can handle herself."
Connor stood up as well, eyes blazing. "She's 15!"
"So are we." Leo growled.
"Yes, but you've trained to fight all you're lives."
"So has she."
"It's just different!"
"How?"
Connor clenched his fists. "It just is! It's my responsibility to keep her safe; that's what I promised Rin."
Amy stiffened at the name of her sensei. "Connor…" she began.
"She doesn't need you to baby her." Leo interrupted.
"What she doesn't need is you guys." Connor snarled. "A week after she got here she was in a coma!"
"That was because of the fire." Leo reminded him.
"The fire that the purple dragons set." Connor shot back. "We never had a problem with those guys until we got here."
"It was my call, and I'm taking the blame, so just drop it, okay?" Leo snapped.
"Not until you tell me why those punks are after Amy." Connor growled.
Leo hesitated and sat down, shaking his head. "It's none of your business."
"'None of my business?'" Connor repeated. "Amy is the only family I have left. I deserve to know."
Leo looked at Amy doubtfully.
Amy sighed and nodded. "He should k-know the truth."
"What is going on?" Connor demanded.
Leo sighed and looked at Connor. "The purple dragons want Amy because… well…"
"I h-have powers." Amy finished for him.
Connor blinked. "I'm sorry, what?"
Leo took a deep breath and began telling Connor about what had happened during the storm. When he had finished, Amy was sitting up with her shoulder wrapped in a bandage and a blanket covering her.
Connor sat down. "So you have the power of electricity?" He asked after awhile.
Amy nodded. She snapped her fingers, a small blue spark coming from it. "I don't have my full power at the moment, but it's still there." She paused before adding, "I didn't think it was the right time to tell you."
Connor looked up at her, eyes still wide and confused. "Why not?"
"We had just lost Rin." She sighed. "I was in a coma, we found out the fire was set on purpose, and now we're living with talking turtles who know ninjitsu." Amy gave him a small smiled. "I don't think telling you I had super powers would've been the best choice at the moment."
Connor looked as though he wanted to argue but thought better of it. "I guess you're right." He shrugged.
"Well if you too are done chatting," Raph said, narrowing his eyes at Amy with crossed arms, "Mind explaining to us how you got shot?"
Mikey sat upside down on the couch. "Yeah, dude. How did your peaceful walk turn into a dangerous battle for survival?"
"It wasn't a 'battle for survival,'" Amy told Mikey with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"So what did happen?" Raph asked suspiciously.
Amy hesitated; she couldn't tell them what had really happened. She needed to make up something and fast. "I… uhhh… don't really remember." She admitted.
"Didn't you say it was the purple dragons?" Leo asked, looking at her.
Amy gave him a fake smile. "Oh. That's right. Thanks Leo." Yeah, Thanks a lot! She thought bitterly. She paused then began telling them a fake story of how she stopped some purple dragons that were mugging someone and got shot while doing it. When Raph had asked her how she ended up in central park that was mainly the only true thing she had said through the whole story. Amy told them that she ran into central park, the purple dragons chasing her, and used her jacket to climb a tree. She paused before saying that they were looking for her for hours, so when they finally left she tried to get down but slipped and fell.
"That's about when I got the call from Connor." Amy finished.
Raph didn't look convinced. "But why-"
"I think that's enough for today." Leo interrupted, glaring at Raph. He glanced at Amy. "I think you should rest now."
Amy looked at Donnie. "That depends on what doctor Don says." She joked.
Donnie nodded. "Leo's right. You should get some rest."
Amy grunted as she stood up. "I'll be in my room then." She sighed, walking away. When she reached her room, she went inside and quickly closed the door. Amy sat on her bed and stared at the ground. They can't ever know what really happened. She thought. They can't know who my real father is, especially Connor. Amy shook her head. What am I thinking? He's not my father. He's a lunatic. And if he even thinks of hurting my family again, he'll regret it. She lay back in her bed, staring at the ceiling. They can never know the truth. She repeated in her mind. They can never know the truth.
