Twelve: First patrol with the turtles

Chris spoke with Raph and after leaving his sister alone, three days later Caitlin is doing well bonding with the turtles…slowly, but she was working at it. She has bonded well with her brother, April and Casey, well after kicking his butt in hockey.

And since Caitlin was starting to feel better to, Leo had decided to help her start training again.

''I don't know about this Leo.''

''Trust me Caitlin, it's fine. Just let me know if you feel any pain and we'll stop.'' Caitlin sighed. ''Okay.''

Leo took a stance and so did Caitlin, ''ready?'' ''ready.''

Leo charged for her, but Caitlin stepped out his way but she turned around and attacked him.

Leo blocked her attacks, and pushed her back, he charged for her again, but Caitlin jumped out of the way and landed behind him.

Leo smirked, and so did Caitlin and the two charged for each other again. But Leo got the upper hand when he knocked Caitlin off her feet.

''Looks like I win.'' Caitlin grinned at him, ''oh I wouldn't say that'' before Leo could think, Caitlin tripped him and pinned him to the floor.

''I win.'' Leo shook his head at her. The two fell silent as they looked into each others eyes. Leo couldn't help but thinking about Caitlin. Even when training she still looked beautiful, like the first night they met.

And as Caitlin looked down at Leo and looked into his deep blue eyes, she wondered if it would be possible for her to get lost in them. Do I like Leo?

She blushed and helped him up. ''Sorry.'' ''It's okay Caitlin. I guess we can call it a tie.'' Caitlin smiled at him, and he smiled back, but the moment got interrupted. ''Ahh! dudes you gotta help me!'' Mikey screamed racing into the dojo, ''Raph's after me!''

''Mikey!'' ''ahh!'' ''come here you!'' Raph came running in a minute later covered in feathers and black paint and chased after him. Leo sighed and shook his head and Caitlin laughed a little. ''Should we do something?'' ''nah I wanna see where this goes.''

Caitlin laughed and they watched Raph tackling Mikey. ''Raph no!'' ''your'e gonna get it Mikey!'' ''ahh!' Donnie came running in minute later, seeing where the noise was coming from. He shook his head and him and Leo decided to step in and they separated Raph and Mikey.

Leo held Raph back, ''easy bro, what happened?'' Raph glared at him,

''Mikey pulled a prank on me!''

''what kind of prank?''

''he hit me with a water balloon! again! filled with black paint and feathers!''

Leo looked at Mikey, ''why would you that Mikey?'' ''because I was bored and I felt like pranking somebody.'' Raph growled at him, and he hid behind Donnie.

''Mikey aplogize.'' ''But Leo-'' ''Now Mikey.'' Mikey sighed. ''I'm sorry Raph.'' Raph growled again, ''yeah you are gonna be when I'm finished with you!'' ''Raph! enough!''

''What is going on in here?!'' Master Splinter yelled as he walked in the room.

''Sensei, Mikey pulled another prank on Raph'' said Leo. ''And he's gonna pay!'' ''Raphael! please get your anger under control. Go meditate for a while.'' Raph stomped off and Master Splinter looked at Mikey, ''Michelangelo, no more pranks or you will be grounded.'' ''Hai Sensei'' and Mikey took off.

Donnie shook his head, ''I'll be in my lab'' and he walked of to. Leo looked over and rubbed the back of his head. ''Sorry about that.'' ''It's okay.''

Master Splinter walked over to her, ''how are you feeling Caitlin?'' ''I'm feeling a lot better.'' He nodded. ''Then perhaps you are ready to go on patrol with my sons?'' Caitlin looked at him shocked, ''really?'' ''I see no problem with it. As long as you are feeling better.''

Caitlin wasn't sure. She hadn't really thought about it until now, but she guessed she could give it a try. ''Alright I'll try.''

Splinter smiled at her and left the room. Leo looked at Caitlin again, ''are you sure you want to do this what if we run into the Foot?'' Caitlin froze, suddenly afraid. ''Caitlin?'' ''I-I'm sure we won't Leo.''

''You okay?'' no, Caitlin wasn't but if they happened to run into Karai, she could use that chance to speak with her. ''Yeah I'm fine, let's get ready for patrol.''

*…*

Meanwhile, with Karai, she decided it was time to put her plan into motion. She had been spending time with Chris for days trying to get information from him without revealing who she was.

And tonight she was going to confront him about where Caitlin was at, but with force. She was going to find her, no matter what.

She was in her room getting ready to meet Chris until she heard a knock on her door. ''Karai open up it's Rahzar.''

''It's open, what do you want?'' Rahzar came in and saw Karai not wearing her armor. ''Where are you going?''

''Out to look for the turtles.'' ''You know your'e not supposed to leave the lair.''

Karai glared at him, ''oh really? last time I checked Shredder was in Japan. He isn't here, and you can't stop me and if you do, I'll throw you into the sewer.''

Rahzar growled at her. ''Watch it girl. When the Shredder gets back he'll-'' ''Your not going to say anything to the Shredder, if you know what's good for you.''

She then took off, still hoping that she would find Caitlin before Shredder came back.

*…*

Back at the lair, Caitlin was getting ready for patrol. She was in her room and while she was getting ready, Chris was talking to her over the phone.

''You sure about this? I mean aren't you still recovering from you injuries?''

''Chris I'll feel fine. If I wasn't sure about this, I wouldn't be going.''

''Okay, just wanted to be sure. I don't want you to get hurt, especially if you run into the Foot.''

''I know. Don't worry Chris I'll be fine.'' ''So what's going on with that girl you've been seeing? Alexa?''

''Yeah, I don't know I think things are going well. We've only been hanging out for a few days, but I'm starting to like her.''

''That sounds good.''

''Thanks, so are you starting to like Leo?''

Caitlin blushed. ''Yeah I think so.''

Chris begins to snicker. ''Just make sure when you guys make out don't do it in public.''

Caitlin rolled her eyes, ''yeah right.''

''Okay, well I'm taking off sis. Be careful okay?''

''I will. And hey, you be careful to.''

They hanged up, and then there was a knock on her door, and Leo peeked his head in. ''You ready?''

''Yep just a sec. Just need to get my weapon.''

She walked out of her room and Leo followed her to the dojo. Since she couldn't go back to Shredder's lair and get her old weapon, she had to pick a new one.

And after spending sometime looking at all the different weapons Master Splinter had, she chose a beautiful Tanto sword.

She picked up her Tanto and her and Leo met up with the rest of the turtles. ''All right guys were going on a short patrol. Nothing too big okay?''

''Remind me why she's coming again?''

''Careful Raph, or do I have to remind the talk Chris had with you?'' Raph glared at her, but backed off. Mikey snickered, Leo sighed ''come on guys let's go.''

*…*

While the turtles and Caitlin were on patrol, Chris was at the ice rink practicing skating. He was doing some tricks while not using his super speed.

A few minutes later, Karai made it to the ice rink and watched Chris skate. ''Hey.''

Chris sees her and begins to smile. ''Hey Alexa, I'm glad your here.''

''I'm glad I came.''

Chris picks up a pair of skates and hands it to her. ''So, did your dad give you a hard time for sneaking out?''

Karai thought back about her father confronting her about leaving the lair before he left and how she lied to him about where she went. ''Yeah…kind of. My dad took off and won't be back for a while.''

''That's cool, so want to skate?''

''I don't know how.''

''Want to learn?'' he asked offering her his assistance. She smiled. ''Okay.''

They get out on the ice rink where Chris was holding Karai taking it slow. ''Take it one step at a time. It's like roller skating, only on ice.''

Karai nodded, and tried not to fall. ''Your doing good, you've got it.''

Karai laughed a little and smiled. She was trying so hard to focus on her mission, but she couldn't remember the last time she had this much fun without hurting someone.

Chris began smiling when he sees how much fun Alexa is having. As if it's the first time she ever had fun. ''I'm going to let go now, but I promise I will be right behind you.''

Karai nodded and kept going. ''So how is your sister?''

''She's doing fine. She's hanging out with our friends.''

''That's good. By the way, you never told me her name.''

''That's true, sorry about that. She told me not to tell people I just met her name until after she meets you.''

''Oh I see. So what about your friends? what are they like?''

''I have so many friends. Two I know can be goofy and the other three are nerdy, but in a good way. What about you? What are your friends like?''

Karai frowned. ''Um, well…''

''What's wrong?'' He asked with a confused look. Karai sighed. ''I don't have any friends.''

Chris stopped skating and stared at Karai/Alexa. He then skated over toward her, grabs her hands and smiles.

''Well, I'm your friend and if you want I can introduce you to my friends so they can be yours to.''

Karai smiled, ''I'd like that, thanks.'' Perfect. This really was too easy. ''When can I meet them?''

''Maybe tomorrow since they're busy.''

''Oh. Well I'm sure there not that busy. Come on I wanna meet them.''

''I don't know where they went, but I promise tomorrow you can see them. That reminds me, wait right here.

Chris leaves the rink to get something out of his backpack. No more miss nice girl. Karai pulled out her sword from it's holder under her jacket and slowly walked towards Chris.

She approached him and was about to say something, but then Chris turned around and she hid her weapon again. ''I wanted to save this for later, but here.''

He shows her a gift box and Karai stared at the box surprised. ''It's for you. I hope you like it.''

Karai was shocked. ''Thank you.'' She opened it, and in the box was a medallion with a scarf. ''Oh Chris,'' she smiled, ''thanks.''

''Your welcome. The scarf I bought with my own money and the medallion belonged to my mom.'' Karai stared at him not sure what to say, but he continued.

''I remember her saying that it's supposed to bring good luck and will protect you.''

''Wow. It's would you give this to me? I mean, if it belonged to your mom…''

Chris begins to smile at her and scratch the back of his head nervously. ''I guess it could be because I trust you a lot and I wanted to show it by giving you something important to me. And because I um, maybe like you a lot.''

Karai froze. ''Really?''

Chris nods in response. ''Yeah your'e not like other girls I met and I like how we spend time together.''

Karai wasn't sure what to say, especially now how this had majorly changed her plans.

''Are you okay? Do you like the gifts?''

''Yeah I do, it's not that it's…no one's ever said that to me before…''

''So I'm the first then?"

''Yeah.''

''Well, why not? You are cool and beautiful.'' Karai blushed. ''Really? you think so? thanks Chris.''

''No problem.'' Chris went back skating while she watched Chris skate, something in the back of her mind told her choice about forcing Chris to tell about Caitlin. And what he just did for her. ''I-I'll be right back.''

''Okay.'' Chris continued skating while Karai leaves to the bathroom, sees the sword still in her hand, and stared at it before throwing it on the ground, frustrated.

She then looked up and looked in the mirror. ''You know you have to do it, you have to make him tell you where Caitlin is.'' She sighed, ''but he's so sweet, how could I do that to him?''

''Stop it. You are a highly trained ninja and you know what will happen if you don't find Caitlin.''

''Your'e right.'' Though, Karai still wasn't sure what to do.

''So what do I do?'' ''What you have to.''

*…*

''Come on Caitlin!'' meanwhile with Caitlin and the turtles, they were racing across the rooftops. While the turtles were running fast, Caitlin was running behind them already tired since it's been a while since she ran on the rooftops.

The turtles jumped onto the next rooftop and Leo noticed Caitlin was falling behind and went to check on her.

''You okay?''

''I'm fine Leo, stop worrying.''

''Caitlin?"

''yeah?''

''your'e getting really bad at lying.''

The turtles came back over, ''dudes what's taking so long?'' asked Mikey. Raph looked over at Caitlin, ''giving up already?'' she rolled her eyes, ''In your dreams.''

''Shh,'' said Donnie ''wait a second, I think I see something over on the next roof.'' Leo walked over to where Donnie was pointing and saw a bunch of Foot Bots.

''You were right Donnie there's Foot Bots over there.'' Caitlin froze, not good, not good… Raph took out his sais and twirled them, ''sweet let's take e'm out.'' But Leo wasn't so sure about that. because he saw the concern on Caitlin's face.

''I don't think so Raph.''

''Aw come on Leo! we could take of them right here right now!''

''I said no Raph.'' Raph looked over his shoulder at Caitlin, ''it's because of her isn't it?''

''Raph!''

Suddenly, they heard a noise behind them. ''Well look who I found.''

''Rahzar!''

''retreat!'' Leo shouted and they tried to run, but the the Foot Bots surrounded them. Leo stood close to Caitlin to protect her. Rahzar jumped down and shouted at the Foot Bots. ''Separate the turtles from the girl I want to deal with her myself.''

The Foot Bots attacked, and the turtles and Caitlin tried their best to fight them off and stay together. Caitlin was holding her own taking down a few Foot Boots even though it had been a while since she was last in a fight.

But Leo still raced to her side and helped her out ''You okay?'' ''Yeah, I am now.'' And they worked together taking out more Foot Bots.

They kept working together until more Foot Bots finally separated the two and Rahzar attacked and grabbed Caitlin taking her away from the turtles. ''Hello tratior.''

''Wish I could say the same to you dog boy.''

Rahzar growled, ''is that all you got you traitor? the Shredder has been looking for you.''

''Really? I'm not surprised.''

Rahzar growled, ''you have two choices girl. Come with me in peace, or I drag you back in pieces.''

Caitlin glared at him and took out her Tanto, ''I rather go in pieces.''

''Very well.'' And Rahzar charged for her.

*…*

Meanwhile, Karai had made her decision. She walked out the bathroom and went to talk to Chris who was still ice skating. ''Sorry Chris I have to go.''

Chris stops skating. ''Really? So soon?''

''Yeah, I just realized I have something to do.''

Chris could stare at her sad.

''Oh, okay well can we meet tomorrow.''

''Yeah I guess we could.''

Chris leans forwards and kisses Alexa on the lips surprising her, but she didn't pull away.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds before they broke apart. ''Uh, yeah, so…bye.'' Karai nodded. ''Yeah uh, bye.'' And Karai left.

As Karai left, she was thinking about what happened with Chris. Did she had feelings for him? but before she could think about it anymore, she heard sounds of fighting and saw the turtles and Foot Bots fighting a couple rooftops over and decided to check it out.

*…*

Back to Caitlin who was still fighting off Rahzar. She was weak and tired and barely winning but she kept going until Rahzar lunged for her.

But before he could grab her, Caitlin used her powers to lift him up into the air and smacked him against the wall.

Rahar groaned, and Caitlin fell to the ground exhausted. ''G-give up?'' Rahzar stood up, ''never.''

He charged for her, but was taken out from behind sending him off the roof and into a garbage trash bin. Caitlin stood up slowly and saw the attacker was Karai.
