I sat in disbelief as Splinter explained what the Shredder had done. Why he waited to kill the turtles for revenge. And how he thought Miwa was dead until now.
"T-that horrible." I said quietly as he finished.
"Yes." Splinter sighed.
"We have to do something."
"No Eclips. Karai is dangerous and I do not what you getting hurt. Your brothers and I will handle it when it comes to turns."
"Then what do I do?"
"You settle in again." He said.
"Can we do some training?" I asked.
"Yes when your wounds heal." He said getting up.
"No I mean now." I grabbed his arm. "They're only cuts."
"Why are you so keen?" He asked looking back at me.
"Because I want to get better so I'm not in the way, so I can help more and you don't have to worry about me all the time."
"You always put others before yourself." He smiled and knelt down. "You're not in the way Eclips I thought you would have learned that by now."
"I know…" I said quietly.
"We will start training again when I feel you ready." He kissed the top of my head.
I smiled and hugged him.
"Hey Sensei!" Mikey run up to us as we came out of the Dojo. "Can we take Eclips topside for a bit?"
"Not tonight Michelangelo, perhaps tomorrow." Splinter said.
"Aw ok." Mikey frond.
"It's ok Mikey, I'm tired anyway." I said then yawned. "I think I might just go to bed."
"Aw but you just got back and we haven't done anything fun." Mikey complained.
"Sorry Mikey." I said. "I'm just-
"Leave her Mike, it's been a long day." Donnie interrupted.
"Yeah we should all get some sleep." Leo said taking my hand. "Come on I'll tuck you in." He said leading me to my room.
"I'm not a baby Leo." I laughed.
"Goodnight." The others called as we left.
"I know." He looked back at me and smiled. "I've just missed you… a lot." He sighed as he opened the door.
"Leo Splinter told me about Karai." I said looking down.
H-he did?" Leo stumbled as he pulled the sheets down.
"Yes and I kinda know you had a crush on he-
"Who told you that?!" Leo burst getting in my face.
"Um look it doesn't matter." I said slipping past him and sitting on the bed. "I just don't want to be in the way."
"Eclips." He sighed. "You always say that." He sat next to me and pulled me into his chest. "Listen Splinter told us he didn't want you to get involved with this, shell he didn't want any of us to be involved but we are. He just wants to protect us."
"I know that." I said. "But I just want to do something other than be the one that needs protecting."
"Yeah well I'm sorry but Splinters not going to let you come with us and nether am I." He said.
"What Leo!?"
"We don't know what Karai will do and the shredder will be looking for her too. We almost lost you once and I'm not planning on letting it happen again." He said strongly.
I pushed him off me and turned my back to him. "So I just stay here on my own?" I huffed.
He sighed, looking down and shook his head. "I know it's not the best thing to do but you're going to have to." He said getting up. He gently pushed my shoulder so I would lay down. He pulled the sheets over my and lower his head to mine. "Night." He said kissing my forehead.
"Night." I sighed.
"Way to piss her off first night back." Raph said as Leo entered the hall.
"She has to know she can't come with us." Leo said.
"So we just leave her in the lair. Alone?"
"No April will be around sometimes."
"Sometimes."
"And Casey."
"That's better how?"
"Look Raph we got Eclips back ok, now we need to get Karai. Eclips can look after herself for a night." Leo said as he began to make his way to him room.
"Yeah what if something happens to us?" Raph asked.
Leo stopped. "Nothing will happen, we're all trained and Sensei will be with us." Leo finish as he entered his room and closed the door behind him.
"I hope you right." Raph sighed entering his room.
