"I can't say I agree with the Nightwatcher's methods but at least he is helping to keep the city safe." Alexis says as she is sitting on the couch watching the news with Michelangelo.
"I remember how that used to feel. Busting up syndicates. Sure they had a bunch of guns but they weren't like these guns." Michelangelo says happily as he jumps onto the couch and makes a pose.
"Why do you do this to yourself Mikey? Those days are over. Forget them. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work." Donatello says as he walks by holding a gadget.
"Donatello be nice." Alexis says as she takes a drink from her cup.
"I am being nice. But it's still the truth." Donatello says as Alexis looks at him.
"Yeah, yeah. Spoken like a true has-been. If it hadn't been for our old nowhere to be seen leader then Alexis may not be here right now. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. He did exactly what we used to do. Defended her. But even he's not doing that no more. He's just a regular nobody like us." Raphael says as he appears.
"Leo isn't a nobody." Alexis says as she glares at Raphael.
"Yeah well at least the Nightwatcher is defending the city." Raphael says as he is standing on the higher up area before jumping down.
"Well look who woke up. I suppose you think the Nightwatcher is some kind of hero?" Donatello asks as Raphael walks over to him.
"Come on guys. Let's not start something." Alexis says as Donatello and Raphael ignore her.
"Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free." Raphael says.
"I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. We're contributing around here. Even Alexis is helping us out and she has no reason to. All you do is sleep." Donatello says.
"Yeah I do nothing. You're right. You got me all figured out." Raphael says as he walks around to the other side of Donatello.
"I know that your rogue attitude has been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things but you're wrong." Donatello says.
"First of all this team you speak of doesn't exist anymore. That went non existent the minute Leo abandoned us. And second of all..." Raphael says as he goes to punch Donatello causing him to drop his tool before the two see Splinter.
"Raphael. Enough." Splinter says as Raphael backs off.
"Heh. I made my point." Raphael says as he begins to walk off.
"That doesn't prove anything. Why couldn't you send him away for training?" Donatello asks as Splinter goes over to him.
"Just let it go Donatello. There's no point in getting angry about it. Regardless of whether we may feel different on what he says." Alexis says as Donatello looks at her.
"Yeah but Raph doesn't always make walking away easy." Michelangelo says as Alexis looks at him.
"Alexis is right my sons. This home has become like an empty shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to this recognize then all hope is lost for our family." Splinter says as he walks off.
"Still it would be nice to get a break from Raph's attitude." Donatello says as he looks for the tool he dropped.
"Or his temper." Michelangelo says.
"He's still your family guys. We might be able to pick who our friends our but our family is our family." Alexis says as Donatello and Michelangelo look at her.
"Yeah. You're right. Still a pain though." Donatello says as he goes back to working on his gadget.
"Can't say I disagree there." Alexis says as she takes a drink from her cup.
*Timeskip*
Later at night as Alexis is sleeping in wolf form beside the couch she soon wakes up hearing footsteps before quickly hiding and watching out of sight. Alexis then starts growling lowly before seeing a giant turtle wearing a blue mask walk into the room as she stops growling.
"Huh? Wait. Leo? He's back. He's really back... I guess he wants to speak to Splinter first though." Alexis thinks happily as she sees Leonardo walk into Splinter's room before laying down smiling.
"Hey Leo's back. Better go say hello before he leaves again." Raphael says as he walks past Donatello causing him to wake up.
"What? Leo?" Donatello asks as he sees Leonardo and hugs him before Michelangelo wakes up.
"Huh? Leo? Is that really you? I'm like dreaming aren't I?" Michelangelo asks as he falls out of the chair before getting up in a hurry.
"No Mikey. You're not dreaming." Leonardo says as Michelangelo hugs him.
"Oh good. I have nightmares about parties." Michelangelo says as Alexis smiles seeing the brothers reunited.
"Hey Leo." Alexis says as she smiles shyly at Leonardo.
"Alexis." Leonardo says happily as he smiles.
"I'm so happy you're back. It's been a long time." Alexis says as she shyly pushes a strand of hair behind her ear.
"It really has. It's good to be back." Leonardo says happily.
"I'm sure you guys have catching up to do so I should head home. Its late. I'll talk to you later Leo. We can get caught up then." Alexis says as she smiles at Leo before turning to leave.
"Want me to take you home? I don't mind." Leonardo says.
"I'll be fine Leo. Just spend time with your family right now." Alexis says reassuringly.
"Alright. Be safe getting back." Leonardo says.
"I will." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and runs off.
