Lana shakes her head before sprinting out of the room. She grabs Lexi on her way and leads them to the stairs.
"Lana what is going on?"
"We need to go now!"
"Lana!"
She stops and looks at her friend.
"Do you trust me?"
Lexi takes a deep breath before nodding.
"Good…now remember that in a few minutes."
She drags her down the stairs again and they sprint through the lobby. Lana takes her to her car and unlocks it quickly. They slip in and right as Lexi's door shuts Lana takes off through the streets.
"I need you to call someone."
"Who?"
"Go through my phone and dial Donnie's number."
Lexi does as she says and holds the phone to Lana's ear.
"Donnie? I have an issue. I'm coming over. Get your brothers. Oh, I'm bringing a friend."
Lana glances at Lexi before speaking again.
"You get to meet Lexi."
Lexi hangs up the phone and takes a few deep breaths.
"Lana I'm trying really hard not to freak out but-"
"Lexi it's going to be fine…don't worry."
Lana flies through the streets and presses a button opening up a wall of an alley.
"Whoa."
"You haven't seen anything yet."
Lana pulls in and parks next to the Battle Shell before getting out. Lexi follows suit and looks at the tank like car.
"What is that?"
"Backup."
Lexi makes a face before nodding quickly. Lana leads them to the secret elevator. When it opens the blue lights on the inside illuminate.
"This is so cool."
Lana nods and they both get on before going downstairs.
"Okay so you're about to see something you're not going to believe or understand, but don't freak out or scream okay?"
"Scream?"
Lana looks at her nervously.
"Yes…screaming is bad. So is fainting…"
Lexi nods slowly before looking at the elevator again.
"This is really interesting technology."
"Alien to you?"
She nods but doesn't catch onto the joke. The elevator finally stops moving and the doors open.
"Okay here we go…"
"I think you're more worried than I am."
Lana nods to her before they walk out.
"Whoa! This place is amazing!"
Lexi looks around and smiles.
"Where are we?"
"Our home young one."
Lexi spins around and stares at Master Splinter. He glances at Lana before looking at Lexi fully. Lexi takes a deep breath with her eyes still wide and looks at Lana.
"…screaming is bad right?"
"Very bad."
Lexi nods quickly and covers her eyes for a second.
"Lexi?"
"Hang on…is that a rat?"
"A mutant rat my dear child."
"And it talks…oh if my lab rats could see this."
Lexi slowly opens her fingers peering through them.
"Okay…I'm okay…do you have a name?"
"I am Master Splinter."
"Splinter?"
Lexi looks at Lana fully.
"This is who you chose Mako for?"
Lana smiles sheepishly. Lexi looks back at Splinter and bows slightly.
"Are you Japanese? You sound Japanese."
Splinter smiles slightly.
"I am."
He bows back and looks around.
"Okay Lana, so I didn't scream or faint…Am I doing well?"
Lana makes a face before shrugging.
"We'll see…"
Lana glances at something behind her and Lexi swallows before turning slowly. Mikey looks down at her before smiling. He's less than a foot behind her and bends down slightly so his face is eye level with hers.
"Hey!"
Lexi goes to scream but instead covers her mouth and quickly sits on the ground covering her face.
"Oh no."
Lana walks up beside her and looks down at her friend.
"Lexi?"
"Shh! I need to figure out what's going on."
Lana looks at Mikey who just shrugs and sits down with his legs crossed in front of her. He balances his head on one fist and smiles lazily at her. Lana makes a face at him but he just waves her off. Lana looks up and sees Donnie with Raph and Leo in the kitchen so she heads there.
"At least she didn't scream."
"Or faint."
"I asked her not to."
Leo looks amused.
"You asked her?"
Lana laughs and nods.
"It worked didn't it?"
Leo shakes his head but gets serious.
"So why'd you bring her down here?"
"One of the statues attacked us."
"What?!"
Donnie quickly looked her over and smiles when he finds nothing.
"You're okay?"
"Barely. She was like nothing I'd ever seen before."
"You're lucky you got away, but that doesn't explain why she's here."
Lana looks back at Lexi and is surprised to find Mikey talking to her with Lexi peering through her fingers again.
"Well…she's not freaking out at least."
"Which is weird since it's Mikey."
Lana rolls her eyes at Raph.
"I had to bring her down here because the statue wanted her dead, or at least that's what she made it sound like."
"They're nothing to mess with. They nearly took me out."
"Exactly so I brought her here…she threatened me and my father freaked."
Lana rubs her wrist absentmindedly.
"Did she do that to you?"
"Huh?"
Lana looks at her wrist and the angry purple marks stand out on her white skin.
"Oh ya she did…after telling me about this necklace…"
Lana's eyes go wide and she pulls out her phone.
"April said the statues were almost 3000 years old right?"
Donnie nods and she presses the button on her phone.
"Hey April? I need you to look up an ancient female general. Should be South American…Serpiente. Thanks."
Lana hangs up and rubs her face.
"It's been such a long day and it's only 11."
Lana sits down and sighs while placing her purse on the counter. Something jingles and she smiles.
"Oh by the way, happy early birthday."
Lana pulls out the devices and puts them in front of her. They look at them and Donnie smiles.
"You made these?"
"Actually I did."
Lana turns and smiles slightly at her. Lexi smiles back before glancing at Mikey. He smiles goofily at her before she walks over to the devices and picks them up.
"You can tell them apart?"
"Of course…now Andrew Garfield is for Mikey, Kit Harrington?"
Lana points to Donnie and she hands it to him.
"Donnie is purple. Got it…Jason Momoa?"
Lana points to the brooding turtle in the corner.
"Red? Cool."
"That's Raphael."
"Call me Raph."
She nods and then looks at the last turtle.
"Chris Evans is blue?"
Lana nods quickly. Lexi hands it to the last turtle and looks him over.
"I'm Leonardo."
She smiles at him and nods.
"I'm Lexi by the way…sorry about barging in then freaking and sitting on the floor."
"Nah it was cute."
Lexi blushes at Mikey before looking at Lana. Raph punches Mikey and shakes his head.
"So that crazy woman-"
"She's my aunt."
"Excuse me?"
Lana looks at Leo and nods.
"Apparently she's my dads sister, and if she's 3000 years old then…"
"Then so is your dad."
Lana nods and sighs.
"It doesn't make sense, but I know she was telling the truth. She had no reason to lie."
Donnie nods.
"Lana we're gonna figure this out, but first, Andrew Garfield?"
Lana smirks and looks at them.
"You'll find out. I made each of them differently so you'll each look different…try them out sometime."
Lexi shuffles her feet and pulls out two more from her own pocket. Lana looks at her fully and finally notices what she's wearing. Her white lab coat is open revealing jean shorts and a black tank top. Her hair is in the same braids like the earlier day and she's wearing black heels.
"You wear that to work?"
Lexi looks at herself before shrugging.
"Your dad only cares I make new stuff, not what I wear, but anyways I made these too."
"Lexi?"
"I thought something was wrong so I made two extras…and then I was right when that woman came down so I grabbed them and well here."
Lana takes it and looks at it.
"You made me a disguise piece?"
"Made myself one too."
"Why?"
"Thought we might need them…guess I was right?"
Lana nods and sighs.
"Can we stay here for a few days guys?"
"Of course you can. No way we're leaving you alone up there."
Lana smiles at Raph.
"Awesome thanks."
"We'll find you somewhere to sleep."
"Lana can take my bed. I sleep in my hammock anyways."
"Lexi can take my bed!"
They all look at Mikey who's smiling happily.
"Mikey you sleep in your bed."
"…so?"
Donnie rolls his eyes and slaps the back of his head.
"Come on weirdo, you're gonna help me set up the bed in the lab."
Lexi smiles and watches them go.
"…I didn't scream or faint. I think I win this round."
"10 points to Lexi."
Lexi smiles and nods.
"Lana this is crazy…how do you know 5 mutants?"
"…it's a long story."
"We're gonna be here a while."
Lana looks at her friend and nods after a few seconds.
"It all began 3 years ago…"
So I'm not actually going to tell you Lana's background story just because I'm going to do another story after I finish this one all about Lana's story. What'd you think of Lexi's reaction? Hope you've enjoyed the recent uploads.
