"So you want to break into police headquarters..?" April glances between the trio with a skeptical look. Deep down she knows something isn't right with this plan. ❤️ "Uh...yeah. Donnie said he needs more of the purple ooze to track Bebop and Rocksteady. And you said the cops would've logged it into the Evidence Control Room by now." "Okay, and Leo is good with this plan?" "Actually, Raph is in charge on this one. Right, Mikey?" 🧡 "Err, right." Mikey's eyes are wide as he looks at April. Her eyes close to mere slits as Akari sighs heavily—She grabs a blueprint and places it on the table to redirect April's attention. "Look. So, we can take the elevator shafts and vents. We need you two to stay on the ground." "You can't come inside with us?" Akari shakes her head as she straightens up. "I don't want anybody figuring out who I am. It's better this way." April hums and goes to say something, but is interrupted by Casey, "I can't just walk right into police headquarters." ❤️ "What are you, chicken?" "Hey! Who are you calling chicken... turtle?" April and Akari roll their eyes as the boys get in each other's faces. ❤️ "Look, do you want to find Bebop and Rocksteady or not?" "...So we're breaking into police headquarters." ❤️ "We got one last boondoggle. We need to find someone to sneak you guys past security checkpoint. Only plan I got so far may be a tad less than appetizing." April, Casey, and Akari watch as Mikey pours some salt on his pizza before shoving four slices into his mouth. 🧡 "Are we going somewhere?"

"I'm gonna take a photo with all of you, don't worry, everybody's gonna get one tonight." Vern smiles as beautiful women continue to surround him, asking for pictures. A man dressed in a nice tux approaches and shakes Vern's hand, "Big fan, big fan." "My gosh, Carmelo Anthony, right back at ya!" "Nice key to the city." "Oh, thank you. Yeah, I mean, they give these things out. Hey, Melo... do you mind if I call you Melo?" "Not at all." "Listen, I'm really glad that you stopped me, because, guys like you and me, we're kind of the same." "Right." "We bring a lot of joy and hope into people's lives. We got that kind of star power. And while it's a gift, this bond that we have..."

"There you are." A beautiful brown-headed woman comes to Vern's side. "Hey. Melo, I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Alessandra." "Girlfriend? We just met a week ago." "Nice to meet you." "Now we're all over each other. Stop it! You know, um, um..." "Vern!" Vern notices April but tries his best to ignore her. "You know, what might be a great idea is if we, uh..." "Vern!" "I don't know..." "We need to go. And, uh, bring that key to the city with you." "I think you need to go." "Yep," Vern sighs before following April out and away from the party.

"Unbelievable, you know? I mean, your jealousy knows no limits." Akari growls from her spot in Raph's arms, slightly startling the man below. "We need your help." "We? Who's 'we'?" Raph jumps down with Akari still in his arms. He gently sits her down before approaching the oh-so-great, Vern. ❤️ "Well, well, well, if it ain't the prince of the city." "You know what? Give me a break, Raph. You're the one who told me to take credit for Shredder in the first place. And now in light of the fact that he is who-knows-where, I am starting to have profound regrets about our arrangement." "So, are we just gonna stand around and talk, or..." Casey and Mikey come up behind Vern, joining the other three.

"Who's this guy?" 🧡 "Total loser, bro. I mean, nice enough fella, if you like guys who can't even bench press. Boom!" "Or fill out a T-shirt." Mikey and Vern fist bump. Akari scoffs as she slowly approaches Vern. "That's real cute, coming from a man who woman hops every couple of weeks." She crosses her arms as flashbacks of the kitchen incident appear in her mind. Vern visibly gulps and adjusts his tie as Mikey 'oohs' before high-fiving Akari.
