When Erik pulls up back to her apartment he parks the car and gets out. He sprints around the car and makes a funny face at her before he opens her door. Lana laughs and takes his extended hand before stepping out. He shuts the door behind her and walks her up the stairs and to her door. She unlocks it and turns to looks at him with a smile.
"Thanks again for dinner Erik. I had a lot of fun."
"Enough fun to go on another date with me?"
She smiles and nods. He raises his arms in a touchdown motion and spins around making her laugh.
"You're so weird."
He smiles at her before leaning in and kissing her. Her eyes shut when their lips meet and she leans onto the door reveling in the feeling. He brings his hands up to her face and cups her cheeks lightly before backing up and looking at her bashfully. Lana takes a deep breath and smiles at him.
"…wow."
"I'm sorry. I thought I would just turn around and go but then you laughed and I looked at you and-"
Lana silences him by leaning in again. He blinks a couple of times before kissing back. Lana laughs into the kiss and steps back.
"You should go."
He nods halfheartedly and looks at her.
"I guess I'll see you at work Thursday."
"Sure."
He nods and watches her open the door and slip in before walking down the stairs back to his car. When Lana shuts the door she leans against it and touches her lips briefly before smiling softly. Lana walks further into her home and finally takes her cell out looking at it. A few emails, a couple of texts and 17 voicemails illuminate the screen. Lana quickly calls Casey back and listens as it rings. She taps her foot impatiently but her window suddenly opening makes her hang up. Casey jumps in and drags Raph behind him. The turtle looks unconscious and hurt. Lana quickly runs over to them and helps Casey put him on the floor with a pillow under is head.
"Call Donnie."
Casey nods and goes to make the call while Lana gets onto her knees and looks the dark green turtle over. A few scratches, a couple of bruises and a dart in his hand make her sigh. She gently rubs his head and he groans.
"They're on their way."
Lana nods and continues to sit by him. A few minutes later April slips through the window and looks at them. Lana looks up but goes back to stroking Raph's head.
"What happened?"
"We got jumped by this weird monster thing then this guy chased us and almost ate our heads, but luckily he was forced to disappear but Raph got hit by one of their darts."
April looks over her shoulder at Raph and sighs sadly.
"You called the guys right?"
"Of course."
She nods and goes back over to Lana.
"You need anything sweetie?"
Lana shakes her head making a few of her curls bounce.
"Okay well I'm gonna get the first aid kit. Under the sink?"
Lana nods but doesn't look up. Eventually the three turtles land on the fire escape making a soft thunk. They climb in one by one and look at Raph and Lana. Donnie kneels beside his brother and looks him over before rolling him onto his stomach.
"Leo! You came back!"
Leo smiles sheepishly looking at his friends.
"Sorry the reunion couldn't be under better circumstances."
Donnie continues to check out Raph and glances at Lana who just stares down at him.
"Well his vitals seem to be okay."
He opens one of his eyes making Raphs eye dilate.
"Pupil dilation is normal."
Donnie rolls him over again and his eyes widen.
"Whoa!"
"What is it?"
"Some sort of stone. Obsidian I think."
"Well is he gonna be alright?"
Leo bends down to look at Raph but Raph just swats his hand away.
"You're still here? Go back to your jungle…"
Leo sighs and stands up.
"Well at least his personality's still intact."
Donnie looks the stone over before handing it to April.
"Looks South American. That's your department April."
April takes it and looks at the blade closely. Casey clears his throat and rubs the back of his neck.
"Would it help it I told you that those statues you collected for Winters were shooting these things at me and Raph?"
April makes a face before looking at Lana. The younger girl gets up wordlessly and walks out of the room and into her bedroom shutting the door heavily. Leo sighs and walks after her.
"I'll have to look at it under a microscope…"
Donnie nods and they all look at Raph as he sleeps.
Leo knocks on the door lightly and hears nothing.
"Lana?"
He slowly opens the door and doesn't see her right away. He takes a few steps in and looks around her room. It looked the same from when he had last seen it but the pictures and books were all different. He looks around and sees the pictures of her and his brothers on the walls, which make him smile. He looks at her desk and sees a few books he had given her.
"Leo?"
Leo spins around and sees her standing in the bathroom doorway with her heels in her hands. The black dress clings to her body showing off every curve and dipped low in the front but not enough to show cleavage. It landed a little higher than mid thigh and showed off her well-toned muscular legs. Her hair was perfectly curly and her makeup make her eyes stand out beautifully.
"Uh-"
"What do you want?"
"I came to make sure you were okay."
"I'm fine."
She walks through her room stepping over books heading to her closet. Leo watches her and says nothing. She pulls out a large long sleeved shirt and leggings. She slips the leggings on under the dress and pulls her shoulders and arms out of the dress before throwing the shirt on. She wiggles out of the dress and puts it on the back of her chair.
"How was your training?"
"Good…we're getting back to where we were."
She nods and smiles slightly.
"That's good."
Leo nods and continues to watch her.
"Did you have a good time?"
Her eyes snap up and she nods.
"He's a very nice guy."
"That's good…"
Leo looks at her stiffly before taking a step back. Lana notices this and goes to say something but he turns.
"Leo-"
"I'm glad you had fun. Can Raph stay here tonight?"
Lana looks at him and nods.
"Of course."
"Thank you."
He disappears out the door and she groans running a hand through her hair. She follows after him and sees Mikey and Donnie scoop Raph up by his arms.
"Dude is heavy."
"Where do you want him?"
Lana looks around before motioning to her bed.
"He can take my bed…I'll sleep on the couch."
They nod and drag him in before putting him down on the soft bed. Lana looks at him again before turning the light off and shutting the door.
"We'll come back tomorrow afternoon to get him."
"No it's okay. I'll just bring him over when it's time for training."
Leo nods to Lana before disappearing out the window. Mikey waves to her before leaving and Don smiles while following them both out the window. April and Casey go out the window too and wave before they shut it and disappear. Lana walks over to the window and locks it before shutting the blinds. She turns off the light before heading back into her room to grab a pillow. When she opens the door the light makes Raph rolls over. He mumbles something before rubbing his face.
"Where am I?"
"My bed."
He looks over at Lana and nods.
"I'll take the couch."
"No you're sleeping there."
Raph just waves at her tiredly before pulling the covers over him.
"Not gonna argue with that."
Lana smiles before going and grabbing a pillow. When she picks it up Raph pulls her onto the bed by her arm and wraps his arm around her.
"Raph-"
"Shut up. You need a hug. I know it."
Lana sighs and nods.
"All knowing Raphael working his magic."
Raph grunts and nods.
"You know me…how was yer date?"
"Fantastic."
"Good guy?"
"Great guy."
"But?"
She looks over her shoulder at him and shakes her head.
"No but."
"Liar."
She sighs and snuggles into him.
"…he said I looked beautiful and that it didn't matter what I was wearing because I'd make anything look good."
"He's a kiss ass."
She smirks and smacks his arm.
"Shut up."
"Did he kiss you?"
"…ya."
"Was it good?"
"Very."
Raph shakes his head.
"There's the but."
"What're you talking about?"
"You'll figure it out."
She sighs and rubs circles onto his arm that's wrapped around her.
"…I hit a guy with a beer bottle."
"'Scuse me?"
"He slapped my ass Raph. He deserved it."
Raph laughs and shakes his head. Lana smiles and listens to his breathing and snuggles closer into his chest.
"…remember the first time we did this?"
"You couldn't walk straight for a week?"
She hits his hand hard and laughs.
"Don't be starting that rumor again."
"I'm kiddin…ya I remember it. You came home cryin' from bein' hit by a dragon. You didn't want to wake the otha's so I let you into my room and you fell asleep in my arms."
"…that was nice."
"Not for me."
"Why not?"
"I still had a major crush on ya."
Lana smiles and laughs.
"I remember that…I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Yer my best friend."
"You're being awfully affectionate tonight."
"I've been drugged."
"You should call the Police."
He chuckles making his chest rumble. She sighs into the feeling and closes her eyes.
"…that night you also told me about how much you liked Leo."
Lana snaps her eyes open and rolls over in his arms so that she's facing him.
"…I forgot about that."
"I didn't."
She sighs and puts her forehead onto his plastron.
"...we should get some sleep."
Raph nods and puts his chin on top of her head and she sighs into his warmth. Him holding her tightly brought back so many memories and feelings. She closes her eyes to try and keep the tears back they seep down her cheeks anyways. She traces the grooves of his plastron before slowly falling asleep.
