Chemically Cute 2 Out Of The Shadows

Chapter 3

"Okay so he just vanished?" April asks confused looking at the turtles after they told her what happened earlier

"Wait Wait Wait." Donnie rushes over to his computer as everyone follows him "If I run the video from shoulder camera though an electrostatic filter we might be able to see what happened to Shredder."

"Come on show my something buddy." Leo murmured while Donnie continues to type uploading the video

Emma holds April hand tightly still a little scared, April looks down noticing the tension in Emma's grip and pats her hair calming her down.

"Look! Right there!" Donnie pointed as he froze the video zooming in on the flash light

Emma looks at the screen of Shredder and quickly hides her face in April's leg shaking in fear as the woman rubs her back in comforted

The frozen video shows the police van and Shredder jumping in the air, between the bus and a flash of light almost having similar to a portal

"It appears to be some kind of residue from a teleportation event. "Donnie mutters to himself while still looking at the screen

"Yeah teleportation event residue man, It's the worst." Mikey chimes in, clearly not knowing what it is

"Does that kind of technology even exist?" Raph scowls

"Baxter Stockman has been working on this kind of tech for years." Donnie shrugs his shoulders

"All that stuff I pulled off of his iPad it was full of information about Shredder and the Foot Clan." April tells them and then gets a frown on her face, "It's was like a virtual playbook. Baxter has to have a backup. And I bet it's on a mainframe from TCRI."

"Donnie I need something." She looks up at the nerd turtle "What do you got?"

Donnie thinks for a second "Wait." He picks up a box on his desk digging around in it looking for something "I know exactly what you need." He then pulls out a usb flash drive "Totally plug and play."

"Perfect." April grins taking it from him.

"We'll go with." Leo volunteers as the other turtles start to follow her "Operate in support."

"Wait." April turns around facing all of them "The suns coming up, you can't go outside you'll be seen." April softens her face sad as Raph sighs frustrated, it broke her heart that the turtles couldn't come with her, that people would judge them just because of the way they looked

April turns to leave but feels a weight on her leg, she looks down to see Emma holding onto her leg her arms wrapped around holding on tight "April please don't go." Emma whimpers fearful

April crotches down to Emma's level holding her hands into hers "Tell you what, how about tomorrow you and I have a girls day just the two of us." April gives Emma a comforting smile "Ok?"

Emma is hesitant but gives her a nod

April gives her one more smile before walking out of the lair, Emma twirls the bottom of her shirt watching April walk away

Without a single word Emma turns and walks away into the mediation room where Splinter was sipping a cup of warm tea

Emma shyly peeks into the room "Um .. Daddy? can I talk to you for a minute?"

Splinter looks up to see his daughter poking her out looking into her eyes he could see the pure fear and worry in her eyes and gestures her to come in with him "Of course sweetheart."
