Well...Tis the Season...And since I'm pretty content with the possessions I have at the moment I feel like giving more than receiving I admit since we have guests at the moment who like to watch TV into the wee hours it's a bit difficult for me since they're up when I normally have my 'quiet time' late at night to write but my Christmas Spirit can't wait any longer, I'll just write this while lying in bed, also the recent turn of events really changed what originally I was imagining taking the story I was imagining Scarecrow getting chemicals for fear gas and Jonathan and Edward contacting Vanessa's parents to inform them what happened, but this works MUCH better.

Before the shocked remaining dogs could retaliate, Don through an 'eggshell bomb' and eggshell filled with pepper, metal shavings and other secret substances that released a blinding, irriating smoke while the Mutant Dogs coughed and wheezed, Don dragged the rottweiler Sam away, it was not easy as the Mutant Dog was as big as Casey, Jonathan rushed over to help with the dragging but the Scarecrow's scrawny frame and the fact he was awkwardly walking because his shoes were too large didn't help much.

Finally Vanessa came and helped and the massive Mutant Spider's strengh gave them what they needed to speedily retreat back into the sewers with their capture.

Since the tightness of the sewers made it awkawrd for Vanessa to turn around, Don moved to walk backward while carrying Sam's feet while Vanessa maintained her foreward postion while holding up Sam by the armpits in her front-most hands.

Jonathan no longer had to do anything because it was clear it was too hard for him to carry and move at the same time.

"We don't often use the eggshell bombs." Don explained as they made their way back to the lair "A lot of people see the trope of the ninja using a smoke bomb to conceal his getaway, that only works on you know...People who aren't familiar with ninja techniques doesn't really work when you're dealing with other ninjas."

"It's depressing to think I'm actually familiar with what you're talking about." Jonathan chuckled "It's not I ever sought those movies but the trope is familiar enough that you see it refernced everywhere."

As they arrived in the lair, everyone was amazed to see what they had brought back.

"Holy shell!" Mikey exclaimed seeing one of the Mutant Dogs who worked for Proteus.

"His 'pack' wanted to capture us..." Don panted as they laid the Mutant Dog down on the table "...And grill us for information...Thanks to Jonathan's quick thinking looks like the tables have turned and we'll be grilling one of them instead..."

"Shell..." Leo fumed "...If you encountered them at the old drainage junction it means they really are on our tail! This lair isn't as easily concealed as the old one..."

"We'll need some restraints when he wakes up..." Edward sighed as he looked the Mutant Dog up and down not liking how gigantic his muscles were...

Vanessa cleared her throat, everyone looked at her.

"Well if it's restraints you need..." She said wryly

Jonathan and Edward smiled seeing Vanessa's clever realization she was essentally a 'living rope factory' the Turtles, while they apprciated Vanessa could utalize her new Mutant talents, Raph said

"Do what you gotta do Vanessa, I'm going to the kitchen to get a beer, cuz I really don't want to see it, don't want to have nightmares for weeks..."

So yeah realizing that as a Mutant Spider Vanessa could wrap Sam up in silk and Raph has become a lot more accepting of Vanessa but he doesn't want to see a fellow Mutant Vertebrate being wrapped up like a fly in a spider's web
