So I'm a little grateful that a certain friend on this site hates spiders and thus won't read this fic so I can be a little more free to write some more 'edgy' stuff not too edgey but since Vanessa is very much like my middle school age self she does have a lot of my grumpy not-quite-emo leanings being very interested in 'dark and spooky' things without being a full on Goth.

Don sighed "Well Vanessa is you remember anything else important be sure to tell us."

"OK..." Vanessa said quietly then a thought came to her, "Is it OK if I have some papers and pencils and draw? I feel I need to do something with my hands when I get this anxious."

"Sure." April said soothingly "I'll get you those things."

Meanwhile both Jonathan and Edward promised they would not try anything funny nor would they betray the location of the lair to Proteus for profit, and thus the blindfolds were removed from their eyes.

"I must admit," Jonathan said bashfully rubbing his arm "I am a bit...Worried..." He was a bit amazed to find himself even saying he cared about someone other than himself "...About Jervis...We had him pretending to work on mind control chips for mutants while we were investigating."

Splinter, Leo and Raph's eyes widened in horror at the thought of mind control chips specifically for mutants.

"You will have to tell us everything you know about that place." Splinter said "...And specifically what they had hired you to do. But we must take care of one thing at a time...My son Micelangelo has a dangerous spirit inside him, I must find a way to help him before..." Splinter seemed to not even want to say it lest his words have power over reality and to speak the thing would make it come true!

Meanwhile in Mikey's Nightmare, Mikey tumbled down from the pillar landing with a thunderous thud! At first he thought his shell must have surely shattered to pieces! Than he realized he had to ask who was this 'Big Cheese' this Desolation Bird spoke for

"Who..." Mikey began to say weakly

"Not WHO..." Came the Cawing voice of Desolation "...But rather WHERE!"

Mikey looked up, the skull headed crow was now a giant towering over him!

"You've just gotta get the questions right or you will never get to the good point! This place...You so eloquently put, this TOXIC CONDO room without a view is YOUR SOUL!"

Back in the world of the waking April got Vanessa some of Don's pencils and paper from his printer and placing the paper on one of Splinter's low tables, resting only with a cusion beneath her spider abdomen, Vanessa began to draw,

Jonathan and Edward decided it was best to stay out of the Mutants' way, Splinter was telling to go to the nearest flower shop and get some flowers, preferrably roses his other sons were busy getting purified water and other things for some kind of ritual.

Jonathan felt weak in the knees, he was looking for a place to sit, than he noticed Vanessa at the low table it seemed like she was furiously drawing something...

Jonathan gingerly went over, with her big bulbous spider body he couldn't simply peek over her shoulder to see what she was drawing like he would a fellow human, so he simply went over to the sofa across from her and said "You don't mind if I sit here do you?"

"Meh." Was all Vanessa said to busy with her drawing to care.

"I'll take that as an affirmation." Jonathan sighed as he sat his weary self down on the sofa "I take it you like to draw?"

"Oh yeah." Vanessa said "And I just discovered that since I mutated into a giant spider, I can draw with two hands in stead of just one so I can draw twice as fast!" Jonathan than realized that indeed in two of her 'right hands' she had two pencils drawing in two different places.

"What are you drawing?" Jonathan asked becoming increasingly more interested

"You'll see when I'm done." Vanessa said

But meanwhile at Proteus Inc. Judith Noble realized what had just happened, and she had Jervis Tetch 'arrested' and she had him put in a room about to be intorogated...

I admit it's not easy for me to write Jervis as he's my least favorite of the three 'Tea Party Gentlemen' but I realized I should write what's happening with him
