"Splinter..." April mutters as you enter the lair. You had ran all the way back from the storm Drain after seeing the turtles dragged away, and now you could see Splinter buried underneath a pile of rocks.

"Oh my God-!" You half whispered-half yelled as you ran towards the rat, your sister in tow.

You wrapped your fingers around a decent sized rock, and started pulling.

"April- DAMN THIS ROCK IS HEAVY- A LITTLE HELP! I don't want to drop it on him!" You grunted as the rock budged.

April instantly placed her hands on the other side of the rock as you both lifted, successfully removing the rock.

"Master!" Raphael called out as he ran into the room. You and April moved aside as Raph shoved the heavy rocks away from Splinter with a few swipes of his hand.

"We thought you fucking died..." You stated hesitantly, you didn't know if you should be talking to the turtle, due to the fact his master was dying and the fact that you were pretty sure he hated your guts.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER." He snapped as he grabbed his Sensei, he then narrowed his eyes at you, "Let's get him to the needle room."

You and April nodded even though you didn't know what the hell a fucking 'Needle Room' was.

"Get the First-Aid kit!" Raph yelled at you both, his focus reserved solely for his injured father, "It's on the shelf."

You cleared a metal table, throwing aside some little mechanical parts, and a fair amount of junk, as Raph laid Splinter down on the table.

He titled his head up at April, he looked broken, "Hurry... HURRY!"

April ran back to you and Raph, the red paint of the First-Aid kit shining like a beacon of hope in her hand. Raph wasted no time grabbing it, quickly opening the package, about to grab something from inside it when Splinter placed a shaking hand on his arm.

You were amazed that he was alive, and even more amazed when he started speaking to his son, "Raphael?"

"I'm here! I'm here..." Raph placed a hand on his fathers as he looked into his eyes.

Splinter coughed, "You must save your brothers... S-stop the Shredder..."

And then he passed out again, leaving a heavily breathing Raph and the two girls standing over the table, silence seemed to coat the room in a thick and suffocating blanket.

BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! Another alarm blared through the lair. The red lights that had only just turned off, flashed back on and sent waves of red light through the lair.

"Haven't we been through enough today?!" You asked as you fixed your messy bun, pulling it into a ponytail instead as you ran towards the flashing lights.

"It's some kind of tracker..." April said in awe as she stared at a bunch of TV screens hooked to a giant wall.

"It's Donatello!" Raph remarked as he stared at the screen.

You looked at him, and he gave you a knowing look as well, "Go, Raphael."

He nodded as he hopped down to where his brothers were last at.

He grabbed Mikeys chucks and slid them into his belt, then he grabbed Donnie's staff and slid it onto his back strap.

You climbed down next to him and stared at Leo's swords, "I-Ill carry them." You spoke up in a small voice.

Raph stared at you as he grabbed the swords.

"J-just because it would be uhm- easier to fight if you had less stuff weighing you down." You muttered as you stretched your hands out for the swords.
