She fell asleep on the way back to the lair. When she woke up she was in Raphael's bed again. She noticed his pet turtle on a table across the room. A turtle with a pet turtle? She laughs at the thought. She tries to get up, but hissed in pain as she fell back onto the bed. She lays there for a while trying not to think about the screaming pain in her leg. After laying there for a while Raphael finally came to check on her. She looked at him.
"Hey, how's your leg?" He asked.
"It hurts like a bitch."
He frowned. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
"Raphael, you helped. I would have been killed if it weren't for you. Plus we managed to mess up the Kraang's base and steal the power source back."
"You got the power source?" He was surprised.
"Yeah, it was right in...this...pocket..." She mumbles realizing the place she put the glowing stone was scorched by the laser she was shot with. "It must have fell through. I'm sorry." She said solemnly.
"You're saying you had it!? And you dropped it?" He yelled noticing his words upset her more. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just, it'd be easier to stop the Kraang if we had it. Don't worry, we'll get it."
"I did get these though." She said pulling out the metal rectangles Donatello told her about.
"Well, at least we got somewhere. You hungry?" He asked.
She nodded, handing over the contents of her pocket to him. After taking the information drives from her, he carefully picked her up out of his bed and brought her into the kitchen. He set her down on one of the stools, and left to find Donatello. Leonardo came in with some crutches and Michelangelo set down a plate of scrambled eggs and pizza for her.
"How's your leg feel?" Leonardo asked.
"Not much better." She replied digging into the odd meal.
"Are you going to die?" Michelangelo asked.
"I don't think so." She laughed with mouth full.
"Did you see the power cell while you were there?" Leonardo asked.
"Yeah, I actually managed to take it, but I lost it on the way down the zip line. It was right here." She showed him the hole in her pants where it had been.
"Guys come quick!" Donatello yelled from his lab. "I found something you'll never believe!" He poked his head out of the lab door.
Leonardo nodded as he got up and helped Kira off the chair and into the crutches. She hobbled into the room and he hurried us over to his computer. He brought up a few screens that had pictures of a woman on it.
"Looks kinda like Kira." Michelangelo said.
"It does. Uh Donnie what are we looking at?" Leonardo asked.
"That! That's my mom!" April yelled from behind.
"What? Kira isn't your mom." Michelangelo said.
"Stop being stupid." Raphael said smacking him.
"Stop talking and let me explain!" Donatello screamed over everyone. "This is Aprils mom. The Kraang took her and experimented on her. They used her DNA to try to make the mutagen work the way they intended it to, but there's something still missing. It looks like they tried to recreate April with her DNA, but it failed. None of the creations they made had the special connection April has with the universe. So instead of continuing their research on creating a new April, they decided to weaponize their creations. I think they thought maybe if they made a girl that looked enough like April's mom they could trick April into coming with her, then if anyone got in their way she would be able to take them down without losing April."
"What exactly does that mean?" Raphael said frustrated.
"It means, Kira is a clone of April's mother, and the Kraang implanted certain memories in her brain to create the perfect fighter that would also blend in with the world, unlike themselves."
"You're making this up right?" Kira asked in disbelief.
"Uhh..." Donatello looked away.
"So like if she is a clone why is her hair a different color than April's mom?" Michelangelo asked noting that Kira has dark brown hair and April's mother is a blond.
"Not really sure, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the experiments. Perhaps the a change they made in the DNA caused a physical difference in appearance."
"This...can't...be." April said distancing herself from everyone.
"No! There's no way I'm some clone! You all told me I was just a human that was kidnapped by the Kraang! Now you're trying to tell me I'm not even human?" She asked. She was so frustrated and confused, she didn't know what to believe anymore.
"Kira you're still human. You just were copied from someone else." Donatello explained.
"From MY mother!" April yelled fully freaking out.
"So I really am born from the Kraang." She mumbled in disappointment.
"Alright that's enough! Kira you're not just some Kraang creature! You have your own thoughts and emotions. And you! There are a lot worse things going on right now than Kira being a clone of your mother." Raphael finally exploded hearing the bitching going on between the two girls.
"I guess you're right. It's just super weird. And makes me even more worried about my mother." April says feeling down.
Kira frowns. "I feel like an impostor."
"Cheer up Kira, I'll let you have my last slice of pizza." Michelangelo offered.
"Thanks, but I've lost my appetite."
"Doesn't matter how you got here. You're not an impostor. You're your own person, not a copy. And you're not a Kraang. You make your own decisions, and you decided to be on our side. That's all that matters to me." Raphael said to her.
"You don't think its weird I'm a clone?" She asked.
"Sure its weird, you don't think its weird I'm a talking mutant turtle? Life is weird. But were friends."
She smiled at him. "Thanks Raphael."
"I guess we're all in this together." April said.
"Yeah, we are." She said as she smiled at her new friends.
