A few weeks later, the Turtles have brought Mellissa to April's apartment and she offered her to stay there with her and her dad, finally free from her cruel father and the Italian mafia and started to live like a normal teenager. Mellissa wanted that for Jinx too, but she couldn't bring herself to find her
She also thought that Jinx was way happier without her and that she had been happier living with the mafia than with her and her new friends
"Don't you think if Luna would ever redeem, she could stay with us?" Mellissa wondered as April was preparing chicken soup
"I don't think I'll trust her enough to let her stay in my house, let alone leaving her unattended" April replied as she filled two bowls with soup and walked over to the table where Mellissa was sitting
"But don't you think she's been judged too many times due to her... perhaps suffering some kind of mental illness and not getting the help she needs?" Mellissa asked as April was thinking to herself while eating her soup
"Maybe... maybe you're right. I mean, I kind of noticed something off about her and that maybe... maybe we have been judging her and... kind of ignoring the signs" April admitted
"So she will stay with us if things cool down?" Mellissa asked as April wiped her mouth corners with a napkin
"Maybe, but it'll come with some rules as well. If she'll ever come"
Mellissa nodded, understanding April's concern, but also wanting her to make more effort to understand Jinx, wanting to tell her how she thinks what might help Jinx heal and grow more happy. Just like Luna used to be
At Shredder's lair, Karai was seen laying on a hospital bed with wires and tubes attached to her, clinging onto life support after the inhuman treatment she had received from Jinx
She was barely conscious and had an oxygen mask on her face
Fishface peeked through the door at Karai's figure, before scowling and turning back to Dogpound
"Now what?" He asked
"We'll go search for her and then you'll do your thing I guess" Dogpound answered as Fishface nodded, but then asked
"What about Shredder? He'll find out eventually"
"No, he won't. We just have to keep a low profile... also"
Dogpound pulled Fishface closer to him and whispered while walking out of the lair
"I've managed to fake our deaths. He might not be an idiot, but he bought it right away"
As Fishface wanted to squeal in happiness at him gaining his freedom back, someone on a motorcycle sped by with abnormal speed and barely ran them over
"Hey! Watch it, idiota!" Fishface shouted as he watched the motorcycle speed off, Dogpound then got a notification on his phone and opened it
"Uh, oh"
"What?" Fishface asked as Dogpound read the news article out loud
"5 hospitals in town robbed and bombarded"
The two of them were quiet, not really thinking about who could be behind all of that cruel-ness and craziness, but it didn't take long for them to think about the only person who could've possibly done that
Jinx
Of course, it had to be Jinx
"Could it be-"
"Yes! It could be Jinx! She's done nothing, but bombard and vandalize everything and everyone! It's come to the point where it's not even a surprise anymore!" Fishface yelled angrily as he stopped himself from going any further and took some deep breaths through his nose
