So I initally was planning a chapter where Vanessa was craving fruit juice but then when Googling facts about spiders I found 'what scents to spiders hate?' and apparently they hate every fruity, flowery or spicy scent humans find appealing, don't like citrus, peppermint, lavender, rose or cinnamon among others...So realized this could be another thing Vanessa has to deal with in becoming a spider an almost entirly carnivore diet with the only vegetables she eats being cooked with meats and cheeses so they taste like meat, like the mushrooms on the sausage and mushroom pizza.

Upon waking, Mikey requested his usual comfort food of pizza, Don suggested maybe Mikey should take it easy at first and maybe just have some soup.

"You have no idea what the shell I've been through Bro!" Mikey said testily "I need pizza and I need it now!"

So they heated up one of the frozen pizzas they kept on hand 'for emergencies' at that moment Vanessa's belly rumbled and she realized she was hungry too, as she hadn't had anything for hours!

"Unlike Mikey I do think I want some soup." Vanessa said as she rubbed her red hourglass belly "You have anymore chicken soup?" At that moment Vanessa realized she was not sure if she would every want fruit again, the thought of drinking fruit juice, just seemed...Sour to her new spider palatte, but she could handle the carrots and whatever vegetables came in the soup because they were mellowed and softened by the cooking process and tasted like the chicken broth.

So as they gathered in the kitchen, Mikey began telling everyone what he experienced in his dream journey...As he told them of the terrifying dream world and what Desolation had said to him, Vanessa kept a close eye on Jonathan and Edward, especially as he also seemed to have some connection with the crow demon, as she watched she saw Jonathan's eyes grow wide as he listened to Mikey describe his disturbing dream. Edward also seemed disturbed by what he was hearing but not as much but he did seem to quietly put a knuckle in his mouth to suck on it, and he cast his eyes down as if he was thinking about something as he listened.

By the time Mikey had finished his story of his dream journey, both the pizza and the soup were ready, Splinter brought the two mutants their meals.

Fortunatly for Vanessa there was no green venom slobber flooding out of her mouth, she supposed it was because she didn't love soup as much as she loved pizza, as her new moth was shaped so much different from her human mouth, she didn't bother with a spoon, she just lifted the bowl up to her mouth and beginning sucking up the soup.

As the Turtles and Splinter were mostly thinking of Mikey's dream journey and what Desolation had said, Jonathan had a different thought come to his mind.

"Vanessa..." he said "...Do your panents know anything of what has happened?"

"I was going to the comic book store while they were out, without telling them." Vanessa said quietly as she had finished slurping up the last of her soup "I did think of calling them the first night, but the Turtles did kind of point out, what exactly should I say? 'Hey I turned into a giant spider and now I'm hanging out with four turtle boys in the sewers?'

Jonathan winced "Yes, I can see that since the shock of it all was very new, maybe it was better to wait a while for the shock to die down, to find a proper way to explain the situation...But really you should try to find a way to explain the situation to them..."

"We can worry about that later." Spliter said "...As of the moment didn't you mention a third collegue of your's is probobly being interogated by Proteus right now?"

So yeah porr neglected Jervis, I care so little for him I can't even think of describing his interogation
