Hey Guys! Im back with another awesome chapter! Last chapter, I was a bit confused as to what name I should use for Terra. Tara, her real name, or Terra, her english adapted name. I guess from now on I will use Tara for informal things and Terra for when she is in public. Same for BB. Enjoy!

Terra's POV:

I must have fallen asleep while Gar was following the brothers to their lair, because then I woke up, Gar was still carrying me, but a little tighter. 'I rather like this…' one part of my brain said, while the other side continued to say 'NO TARA. BAD TARA…..' I just couldn't help it, he was so damn attractive. I didn't want this contact to end, but it had to eventually. I had to know where we were.

"Hey Gar…." I said, attempting to make my voice sleepy.

"Hey T. You sure were tired. I guess all that battling and dimension travel took it out of you." He said, a little smirk forming on his face.

"Where are we?" I asked, just starting to register my surroundings. Wherever we were, it was dark and smelled horrible.

"En route to the lair, Tara. Currently, we are traveling through a section of sewer in the Upper East side of Manhattan." Said Donnie.

"You guys live in the sewer? Gross." I said.

"You get used to the smell pretty quick." Raph said, shrugging.

"Raph, did you text Casey and April? I need to talk to them about this whole dimension travel situation so we can get these two home." Leo said.

"Taken care of, bro. They said they'll meet us at the lair." Raph said.

I was curious, and I knew I would get hella embarrassed if I did ask, but I so desperately wanted to know. I leaned up to Gar's ear and whispered "How long exactly HAVE you been carrying me Gar?"

This seemed to get his attention, as he put me down immediately, and his green cheeks turned red.

"Ever since I picked you up in the alley…" he said, blushing profusely.

'Well, if we were in the upper east side….. Holy shit. That was an hour away from where we landed in walking distance! He carried me for that long?' I thought, starting to turn pink.

For the next 5 minutes, there was silence between Gar and I. We turned a corner into a more illuminated tunnel, and then Donnie spoke up.

"Here we are." He said.

Donnie walked up to the tunnel wall, and illuminated a section of four vertical pipes. He pulled on the third one, and a little TMNT communicator theme sounded briefly. Then a little keypad was revealed, and donnie punched in the access code. Almost like the bricks behind the leaky cauldron in a movie I had seen, the wall separated in two, similar to the access door to the titans common room. Yellow light pooled into the tunnel, and the six of us walked through. What I saw next was amazing.

BB's POV:

The lair looked just like in the comics. It was a big open room, with a huge main computer in the center. It was on an island, surrounded by water. The Outer rim of the room had multiple openings that lead to the kitchen, dojo, and bedrooms. Th entrance had a few spare couches lying around near it. (I am describing the last lair the turtles had in the animated series in 2003).

Sitting in the couch, were April and Casey. Upon seeing us, Casey shot up and got in a defensive pose.

"You should know better than to pick up strays from ComicCon Raph!" Casey shouted angrily, assuming Gar and I were threats.

I prepared to fight, if neccecary, and got in a defensive pose. I saw Terra's eyes begin to glow a faint yellow, just in case.

"Woah, woah, woah Case! Chill! They're with us!" Raph said, running at Casey to get him to stand down.

"And for your information, CASEY" Mikey started, glaring at Casey "they aren't two losers in costume. They are the OG. They fell out of a portal in the sky." Mikey Said, looking vey confident. Casey just looked at him like he was crazy.

"Oh.. ok… Let me get this straight.. they are superheros from another dimension?" Casey asked, sarcastically.

"Exactly!" Said Mikey.

Casey started cracking up.

"Prove it!" he managed between laughs.

"Ok." Tara said. She stepped out from behind Leo, and closed her eyes. Casey stopped laughing. Terra's hands began to glow a faint yellow tint, and when she opened her eyes, they glowed too. She used her Geo-Kenisis to rip a piece of cement rom the floor, an then, using her geo-kenisis, carved into a ball. She then levatated it over to a now dumbfounded Casey, and lowered it into his palm.

"Is that proof enough?" Tara asked, somewhat defensive.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Casey said, approaching us.

"I have geo-kenisis" Tara said.

"What about him?" Casey asked, pointing a finger in my direction.

"Oh, thats Beast Boy. He's a changeling." Said Tara.

To evidence Tara's point, I transformed into a tiger, then a monkey, and finally a turtle before reverting to human form.

"TOOO COOL!" Casey shouted, hi-fiveing me. Raph then grabbed my arm and muttered something about sparring, and Casey followed in suit. They dragged me to the dojo, and I saw Tara laughing at me from behind. Raph pulled me into the dojo, and then said "Lets see you put those skills of yours to the test!"

"Ok." I said, having nothing better to do. Donnie, Leo, and April were working on our way home, and we were finally safe. For the time being. And that was alright with me.

Terra's POV:

"I think, based on the way they fell through the portal, I can reverse the effect." Donnie stated.

"How's that?" Leo questioned.

"Well, I analyzed the way the portal opened to begin with. It opened due to an over-exertion of geo-kinetic power that was so powerful it ripped a hole not only in the earth, but in the very dimension itself." Donnie Stated.

"So, theoretically, If Tara can re-exert that much geo-kinetic power with a little help from science, we just might be able to re-open the portal." Donnie said.

"Radical!" Leo shouted, exited.

I was too busy to focus on what they were saying, though. I was staring at the boy who captured my heart so long ago. Currently, he was beating the shit out of Casey with a style of martial arts Robin taught him. Raph seemed to enjoy watching Casey get the shit kicked out of him. Gar now had Casey pinned, and had won the sparring match. "For someone so small, you sure are a good fighter." Casey admitted from the ground, too tired to move. "Thanks. Robin taught me that one." Gar said. He looked really sweaty though. 'NO TARA.' I thought again. Gar then proceeded to remove his utility belt, and took off his shirt. I tried my best not to drool. "Care for a round two?" The now shirtless gar asked Casey. God. When I was living in the tower, I never noticed how toned Gar was. DAMN. 'NOOOOO TARA' I thought again. I need to get ahold of myself!

"Hey, didn't you hear what Donnie said? You can go home soon!" April said, very cheerfully.

"Huh… what? Oh, yeah. Home. Yay!" I said, returning my gaze to Gar. April followed my stare, and smirked.

"Geez, obvious much? Your totally into him!" April said.

"SHHHH! What the hell, April! Everyone will know! Including him!" I said, seriously.

"Everyone already knows, Tara. Come talk to me somewhere more private. I will help you sort through this. Believe me girl. I get it." She said, glancing at Donnie, and her face turned a bit pink.

She led me down the path of the main computer island and twords the couches, out of everyone's range of hearing. Then I unloaded it all on her. The Slade situation, When we first met, all of it, and how we had each other's backs through it all. And she just listened. It was wonderful having someone to confide in.

Gar's POV:

At the end of the training session, I was hot and bothered. In every sense of the word. I sat down on the mat to catch my breath. As I was doing so, my gaze fixed on Tara. God, she was beautiful. If only I ever had the guts to tell her that. Her golden curtain of hair was behind one ear, and the rest fanned out on her back. Her sparkling blue eyes pierced my soul, and it was a wonderful feeling. Raph was cleaning up the dojo, when he caught me.

"DUDE. Your staring." He said, rather blunt.

"What? No I'm not." I am a terrible liar. Raph just smirked at me.

"Fine, I was. What's it to you?" I asked.

"Bro, I don't care WHAT you do. But just a little advice from one green guy to another, don't let her slip through your fingers. I made that mistake once. And I regret it every day." Raph looked regretfully at the ground.

"Go for it." Raph encouraged, looking me in the eyes again.

"You know what, I think I will." I said confidently. I stood up, and put my shirt and utility belt back on.

"Hey T!" I called, trying to get Tara's attention. She looked over at me.

"Can I talk to you in private for a sec-"

WWWWRRRRRRR! WWWWWRRRR! the crime alert blared.

"Fuck.." I muttered under my breath. "The bad guys have PERFECT TIMEING!" I yelled sarcastically. Raph patted my shoulder. "Next time bro. For now, lets go kick some bad guy butt!" Raph said.

Leo ran up to the screen, behind Donnie's chair.

"Who is it?" Leo asked quickly.

I looked at the screen and my eyes went wide.

"Its that Slade guy and… The Shredder."

Leo started cursing like a sailor and punched the wall.

"He is GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT HE DID TO SPLINTER!" Leo screamed.

"Lets go kick his ass!" Mikey shouted.

The four turtles and Tara and I ran for the exit of the lair, ended head first for the combat to come.

Slade's POV:

I knew those miserable excuses for hers would come running when they caught wind of my attack. Thanks to the help pf my new friend, the Shredder, my plans were moving along smoothly. All I had to do was catch the one called Donatello.

"YOU!" Rang out a very familiar and annoying voice. UUUHHHH. My old apprentice.

"Ahhh. Terra. Glad to see you decided to join the party." I said.

She just grimaced at me and allowed her eyes to flash yellow. Next to her, Beast Boy morphed into a green Sun Bear, wildly growling at me and shredder. "ATTACK!" we said to our minions in unison.

We battled for a while, and it was very back and forth. But, luckily, I was able to distract the teen heroes long enough for my Slade bots and shredder's foot soldiers to overpower the one called Donatello.

"AAHHHHHH!" Donatello screamed as he was dragged away. Music to my ears.

"Until we meet again, miscreants." I said. I dropped a smoke bomb, and slipped away.

—

Terra's POV:

As the smoke cleared, I looked for my new friends and Gar. But someone was missing.

"Where's Donnie?" Leo asked, worried.

A look of shock crossed my face. I heard him scram during battle.

"He's gone." I said.

"Whaddaya mean he's gone?!" Raph questioned, returning his say to his belt.

"It was Shedder and Slade. They took him." I said.
