*Mikey's POV*
"Are you sure Donnie?" Raph asked.
This was great! We had some real proof that... wait. Oroku Saki? "Why is there three DNA... donor thingy's? Even I know it takes only two to make one," I exclaimed.
They gave me odd looks.
"I have no idea," Donnie replied "There could be a flaw in the equipment, but I did everything right..."
"How is everything going, my sons?" Master Splinter asked as he walked in. "Where is Kitanna? Is she alright?"
I couldn't hold in my excitement any longer. "Master Splinter! Kitanna is fine, but Donnie found something that proves your thesis and I don't even know what that word is, but anyway Donnie has something tell you, tell him Donnie!" I coughed and breathed in deep.
"What do you have to tell me, Donatello?" Master Splinter asked.
All eyes went to Donnie.
"I, well, uh... I took a sample of Kitanna's blood to see if my chemical caused a strong reaction, which it did. But not only was her DNA replicating faster, it had three donors," Donnie breathed in deep. "Tang Shen, Oroki Saki, and... you, Sensei."
Master Splinter looked as if he was just kicked in the gut. "You mean she... my..." He stuttered.
"Is there something you have been hiding from us, Mikey?" Raph accused.
"Why do you suspect that?" I asked sarcastically.
Raph growled. He went to say something, but Master Splinter intervened.
"No, my sons. I am the one who has been keeping the secret. I have told Michelangelo to keep quiet until I had evidence. Follow me," he replied in a hushed voice.
We all looked at each other before following. I basically skipped after him. I could finally spill the beans.

*Kitanna's POV*
The news crew bombarded us. I gulped. How were we to avoid them now?
"How did your friend here get hurt?"
"How did you react to the loud roar?"
"Do you think the tiger escaped the Brooklyn Zoo or the..."
"I would love to stay and chat, but our friend here needs to get some real medical attention," April nudged.
A news lady turned to me. "How about you? What do you think?"
I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to say anything. I made odd noises trying to indicate I was mute.
"Uh, my, sister, here was born without a tongue. Sorry, but we have to go!" April urged, yanking Casey and I along with her.
"May we have your names?!" The news lady called.
"Gail and Brooke Gunderson!" April shouted back.
We quickly hobbled as fast as we could carry Casey and stopped once out of ear shot.
I looked at April and she looked back at me.
I smirked. "Gail and Brooke Gunderson?"
She let out an exhausted laugh. "First names that came to mind."
"Nice job, Red. Now," Casey grunted. "Can we get some help?"
April and I nodded in sinc and we walked off to our destination.

*Raph's POV*
"So you mean to tell me that Mikey has been keeping this secret the whole time?!" I couldn't believe it! He couldn't keep a secret this long!
"Yes, Raphael. And I apologize for not telling you sooner," Master Splinter replied. "But I do have one question: how did you find out?"
Leo was the first to speak. "When Kitanna and I were in the abandoned place, Shredder said something about killing Hamato Yoshi's eldest..." He trailed off.
"And?"
"And Kitanna replied that she was the eldest."
"I see. Does she happen to know that I am the man the Shredder speaks of?" Sensei asked.
"I have no clue," Leo replied, kind of shakily.
"Hmm..." Sensei began thinking aloud. "How about the rest of you? Donatello, Raphael?"
"I only found out from Donnie's experiment," I explained.
"Yes, that brings up another question," Master Splinter continued. "How can there be three donors when two make one?"
All eyes went to Donnie once more.
"Okay, for one just because I'm smart doesn't mean I know everything," he stated.
"So you have no theories?" Leo asked.
"I didn't say that," Donnie retorted. "When Kitanna was smaller, she was fed some form of mutagen that changes cells. Just recently she came in contact with another cell changing chemical. My theory is that the chemical from before was meant to change her molecular structure..."
"English, please," I snorted.
Donnie glared at me. "The chemical the Shredder fed her as a child was slowly changing her body make up to be more like his. Instead of having blood line relations with Master Splinter, she would be..."
"His," Sensei finished with a growl.
"So... whose daughter is she? Shredder's or Sensei's?" I questioned.
We all looked at each other, then at Sensei.
"I... I do not know."
