Five: And the hidden truth

Back at the lair, Chris was resting on the couch still unconscious from the fight. April and Casey were taking care of him while the turtles talked to Master Splinter in the dojo.''It was crazy Master Splinter'' said Mikey, ''she lifted Raph into mid-air!'' Donnie nodded. ''I agree plus it felt like you were floating on air, when she wasn't squeezing the life out of you.''

Raph was in the corner and remembered the attack even though it was only for an instant and he wasn't happy too happy about it. The boys kept explaining and when the were done Master Splinter nodded.''Is there anything else that happened?'' ''there is Sensei'' said Leo. ''When she put more pressure on me with her powers, she tried going into my mind.''

Splinter was shocked. ''Then all of you are very fortunate that Chris came by to save you.'' ''Perhaps when he wakes up and is feeling better we'll see if he has any more information on this girl.''

Leo nodded in agreement. ''But Sensei what do you think we should do against an enemy who can control things with her mind?''

''An enemy like that is dangerous. However, knowing the limit of their opponent's power might help you win. April walked in seconds later. ''Guys, Chris is awake.''

They go over to see him as he eats some of the pizza he brought for the turtles. ''Oh hey guys, how are you feeling?'' Raph glared at him.

''Are you kidding me!? your'e the one that was unconcious!''

''Was I? Oh well,'' he shrugs his shoulders and taking another bite. ''At least I got to have some fun. By the way who was that girl who gave you guys a lot of trouble?''

''…she was a Foot ninja.'' Leo sighed, ''and Karai's sister.''

''Is she the same one you have a crush on or this Karai girl?'' he asked Leo. Leo glared at him. ''It's the other girl apparently their sisters.''

Chris gives him a thumbs up. ''Nice two girls to date that is cool.'' April slapped him on the back of the head. ''Ouch what was that for?'' He asked rubbing the back of his head. ''For being stupid'' April said rolling her eyes.

''Says the girl who got kidnapped, again,'' he muttered. April glared at him. ''Anyways, Chris what happened with Caitlin?''

Chris puts the soda down and begins explaining. ''She was tough. I never fought anyone like her, especially with her using her powers on me. I actually had to use one of the tricks I learned a year ago to get out of her hold on me. It took a lot of energy for me to do that, but it was worth it to take her down…you do have her right?''

Leo sighed. ''She wasn't there when we came to get you…she got away.'' Chris sighed. ''That sucks, oh well maybe next time.''

April sat next to him. ''Chris, is there anything else about her that you can tell us that could help us?''

Chris began thinking more about his fight to see if there was anything that can help his friends. ''Well, I don't think this is relevant or it even happened, but before I blacked out I could have sworn I saw the color of her eyes.'' Raph scoffed ''who cares about her eyes and how does that help us?''

''Because one of her eye color was exactly like mine,'' he points to his eye where the contact fell off. Everyone was shocked.

''Dude…'' ''what?'' ''how come you never told us?'' Leo asked. Chris shrugs his shoulder. ''I don't think it was nothing since I was still a little dazed from the hit earlier. Maybe I imagined it I don't know.''

Leo put a hand on Chris's shoulder. ''It's ok Chris, get some rest we'll talk about it later.'' ''Fine,'' he turns towards April. ''By the way, you owe me 30 bucks.'' April sighed. ''Okay I'll pay you later.''

''Good,'' he finishes the last pizza slice. ''Well, I'm off to get some rest, later.'' Leo watched him leave and turned to the others ''you should all get some rest it's been a long night.''

*…*

Meanwhile at Shredder's lair...

''So let me get this straight. You two had the turtles beaten, you had them in the palm of your hands, and you failed because of a boy?'' He turns towards the girl showing his disappointment and anger in his eyes. ''A boy! how could you two fail? Especially you Caitlin.''

Karai stepped in front of her sister. ''It wasn't her fault Father.''

''Yes. This wasn't a normal boy…he had powers like me.''

''That is no excuse!'' he slammed his fist on his throne, ''You had a chance to finish this boy off with your powers, but you held back. You could have destroyed him, but you were too soft and failed.''

''I wasn't soft. I just…it won't happen again.''

''For your sake you better make sure of it,'' he turns towards Karai. ''The both of you.'' ''Understood Father'' they said in unison.

They bowed and left Shredder's throne room. ''So are you ever gonna tell me what happened with that boy?'' Karai asked. ''It's..it's hard to explain.'' Karai walked over to window and Caitlin stood next to her.

''So are you gonna tell me?'' Caitlin sighed. ''It was weird I had him where I wanted him, but then he used his super speed and it made me loose control. He picked me up and ran with me until he threw me into a wall behind a pizza den. And before he went unconcious….I could've sworn he had the same color eyes as me.''

Karai was surprised but didn't think much of it. ''You were probably just seeing things. Crashing through walls can do that to people.'' ''No I'm sure what I saw…'' she sighed, ''now I'm confused…what does it mean?''

''I'm not sure. But try to ignore it or get past it. You know what will happen if you fail Shredder again and I don't want to see you get punished again.''

Caitlin remembered back when she was twelve and she fought back against Shredder. He had punished her by burning her hand and she still had the scars to prove it.

''Alright I promise I'll be careful.''

''Okay sis I'm gonna head to bed, you coming?''

''I think I'm gonna go for a walk just to clear my head.

''Okay.'' Karai gave her a pat on her shoulder and walked down the hallway while Caitlin climbed out the window and raced across the rooftops.

She headed to her usual spot when she needed to think, an old abandoned building around Central Park. Caitlin sat down and began to meditate, thinking about what happened.

Why were those guy's eyes like mine? maybe it's…no it couldn't be possible. I was young and I barely remember my family so that couldn't be it. Karai's right maybe it was just my imagination.

But maybe… Caitlin tried to shake the thought away, but still couldn't help thinking about it. I don't remember much about my past…and the possibility of a stranger having the same eyes as me is very slim. But wait…he got some blood on my clothes maybe I could run some tests…even though would think Shredder thinks it's a waste of time.

Suddenly, she heard a noise from nearby. ''Ok Karai, if your'e trying to scare me it's not working.'' But when Caitlin turned around she saw it wasn't Karai but Leo. Oh crap.

A few minutes earlier Leo left while his brothers slept and went for a walk. He had been thinking about her and how he could tell that she didn't want to hurt him like Karai wanted. Then he recalled April telling him about her talk with her and how she wasn't bad like Karai. And now here she was staring at him.

Caitlin glared at him. ''You!'' she took her Juji-ken and charged for him, but didn't see a loose pipe. She tripped and before she knew it she felt herself falling.

But before she meet the ground so far below, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist and pull her back. Leo. She gave him a confusing look as he set her back down on her feet. ''Why?''

''what?''

''Why would you save me?''

''because I didn't want you to fall.''

''But…I tried to kill you.''

''Then I guess we have a temporary truce.'' Caitlin stepped away from him. She wasn't to sure about this, here she was facing one of her enemies and instead of attacking him like she should, she was frozen to the spot.

''Look, I don't wanna hurt you.''

''How do I know that for sure?'' Leo took out his katanas and put them away from his reach.

Caitlin stared at him as he went to sit down. ''He doesn't look like he's gonna hurt me….'' Caitlin sighed and went to sit next to him. Everything was quiet for a minute before Leo decided to break the silence.

''I'm Leonardo.''

''I know.'' ''…I'm Caitlin.''

''I like that name, it's nice.''

''Um, thanks.''

They were both silent again but there was now an awkward tension that hung in the air. And Caitlin didn't like it.

''So uh, thanks for saving me back there. And…I'm sorry for kidnapping your friend.''

Leo thought for a minute, ''alright I forgive you but I have to ask one thing.''

''What is it?''

''Why did you go along with Karai's plan of kidnapping April?''

Caitlin sighed. ''Karai thought it would be the best way to get you guys to fight on our turf. I thought she would let her go after the fight was over…but it didn't go as planned.''

''And what about those Kraang bots that tried to kidnap April?''

''I didn't know about that.'' Caitlin was a little angry at this, and made a mental note to destroy those bots later.

''So…how did you end up working for Shredder?''

Caitlin stared at him before turning away, ''it's a long story.''

''I've got time.'' Caitlin stared at him again and saw no harm in telling him, ''alright I'll tell you.'' ''I was three years old when my parents died and I was alone on the streets with nowhere to was until Shredder found me. He took me in and cared for me, and raised me along with Karai. He started training us in ninjistu and one day while we were training, I found out I had powers. I could move things with my mind, create illusions, and see into other people's minds. Which is what I almost did to you sorry about that by the way.''

Leo gave her a small smile. ''It's ok. And I'm sorry about your parents. Can I ask something else?''

''I guess.''

''Did you want to use your powers against us? I remember you saying that you didn't want to use your powers to go into my mind.''

''Of course I didn't say that. I have complete control over my powers I knew what I was doing.''

He stared at her. ''Really? then how come I can tell your lying?'' Caitlin sighed. ''Alright, alright I really didn't want to hurt you and I don't have any control over any of my powers.''

''Well if you didn't have any control and didn't want to hurt me, then why did you do it?''

''Because. I can't go against Shredder's orders. ''The last time I did…well, let's just say I have the scars to prove it. That's why I went against you, but I did and still feel bad about doing it.''

Leo looked at her and could tell she meant it and wasn't faking it. ''Hey it's ok, I understand.''

''How do you understand? you have no idea what I've been through.''

''Ok, ok your right I don't.'' Leo sighed and everything got quiet again. He sighed. ''I'm sorry for getting you upset. And I'm glad you didn't kill me.'' Although inside he was hoping she really wouldn't do that again.

''Alright, I accept your apology and I'm glad I didn't kill you either.''

Leo chuckled a little. ''You sound a little like Captain Ryan.''

''You watch Space Heroes?''

''Are you kidding? who doesn't.''

They talked a little more about anything they could think of. From Space Heroes, to what they liked to do besides training and ninjistu, and anything else they could think of. But it was starting to get late, and both decided it was time to depart.

''Hey Leo?''

''Yeah?

''About that boy I fought…how is he?''

''Oh Chris, he was a little beat up, but he's okay. He said that he had fun fighting you.'' Caitlin was a little shocked at that but then realized that the fight with Chris was fun even though he was annoying her the whole time. ''Then maybe I'll fight him again.''

They gave each other a nod, and Leo smiled at her, before both ninjas went their own ways.
