     It was midnight. Donatello and Kathleen were asleep. However, Avia woke up all of a sudden. Something jolted her out of her sleep. It wasn't a nightmare, but it was a thought. "Wait a minute...if the books don't know about Voyd....then what if the internet knows about her?" Avia whispered to herself. That's when she immediately got up. The bank was close to her and her two new friends, which meant there had to be a computer in there. "There must be that thing that humans use all the time at work in there. I've seen my owner use it all the time. It shows her lots of stuff kinda like tv. So this has to work as well!" Avia whispered again. She then ran to the bank. She saw that the doors were unfortunately locked. If Donatello was awake too, then he would help Avia get in, but he was alseep. She saw what he did in the cathedral. Can she do the same thing as well? Not wanting to disturb Donatello, Avia retracted her claws. "Hmm, now let's see, uh...how did Donatello do this again?" Avia asked quietly to herself. She looked at the door and noticed a keyhole on the doorknob. It was still dark outside, but thanks to her being a cat and how well she could see in the dark, it shouldn't be a problem for her at all. Avia began to put one of her claws inside the keyhole and began to turn it. She tried to remember which direction Donatello moved the keyhole to back in the cathedral. She turned the keyhole in different directions until there was a clicking sound. It was the sound of the door unlocking. "Yes!" Avia whispered happily. Now there was only one more thing to do. "Now how do I get in?" Avia whispered again. That's when she looked doorknob in front of her. This had to mean something. Avia put her paw on the knob. She then pushed it, but the door didn't move. She then tried to pull it, but nothing happened either. She even had to do it carefully that way the knob wouldn't break. "Ugh, how do you use this thing?!" Avia whispered frustratedly. Just before she was about to give up, there was only one more thing she hadn't tried yet that stopped her on her tracks. It was turning. Avia once again put her paw on the knob and began to turn it. She turned to the right, but nothing happened. Then she tried turning it to the left. And that's when the door started to creak open. "Yes! I finally did it!" Avia whispered in triumph. She then put her paw on the door and swung it open. She went inside the empty bank. It was dark too, but Avia didn't mind since she had great eyesight in the dark since she was a cat. There were more doors, but she kept on doing the same trick that she did with the first door outside. She walked in the halls saying to herself, "Now which room is that thing in? Because I know there is one here. They're pretty much everywhere. I just have to find where people keep them in." Because she was an animal, Avia didn't really know what a computer was, but she knew what it looked like since she saw her owner use one almost all the time back home. She started going in every room and drawer to find a computer. There was nothing but work, paper, tools, and money. Avia kept walking in the hallway until she found a door that read, "computer room". Curious, Avia went inside and looked around in every spot and drawer. That's when she finally found a laptop with a plug in it after searching and searching. "Aha! There you are!" Avia said. She then pulled the laptop out and placed it on the floor. Looking at the plug, she grabs it with her mouth and begins to search for a nearest outlet. Since she was a cat, Avia saw things on the lower part of a wall. This meant she saw a plug in an outlet before while her owner used a computer. So, surely there was one here too. Avia then looked behind a table and saw an outlet. She scooted the laptop near the table and put the plug in the outlet. She then used her paws and claws to open the laptop up. Avia then scanned all the buttons on the laptop to see which one to press. "Now how do you turn this thing on?" Avia asked herself. She then pressed on every button on the laptop until there was one that started to turn on the laptop. On the screen was a box that asked for a password. She didn't know what that meant. "What is that supposed to mean?" Avia asked herself again. "Am I supposed to like put in something?" She looked at the empty box. In it, there was a blinking black line. This was very confusing for her since she was an animal and she never used a device humans use, but she refused to give up because she had to see if the internet knew about Voyd since no superhero book had her. Avia also knew that she saw her owner use her fingers to press all of the buttons while using a computer. So is that what the strange box meant? To test it out, Avia began typing up random words to fill in the box with. Now all she had to do now was to log in. There was then another box that read, "enter". Now how can she click on that? And that's when she saw a white arrow on the top left hand corner on the screen. "Hey, what's this?" Avia asked, eyeing at it. She began to bat on the screen where the arrow was as if she was trying to catch it. "What the? I can't reach it!" She said again. "It's not even moving! Ah, forget it!" Avia then gave up. "Now what do I do?! This thing is more complicated then I imagined! Humans make it look so easy for them! Oh, this is hopeless!" Avia said angrily. She then looked down at all the buttons in disappointment. That is when she saw a button that said, "enter". She then looked at the same word on the screen button and back down at the physical button. Avia wondered if that meant that she could enter by pressing the real button in front of her. She pushed it and the laptop started to load. Unfortunately, it then showed that the password was wrong. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Avia complained. Just as Avia was about to give up, she sees something sticking out of the laptop. It was a piece of paper. Curious, Avia grabbed it and looked at it. It read a peculiar code. Avia began to wonder if that was the password for the laptop. She then copied the code on the screen box and pressed enter. And just to her luck, the laptop accepted it. "Finally! It's about time!" Avia said triumphantly.
