Coming Home

Y/n's POV

The following week had been incredibly hectic. I had to call the social workers (was not a fun thing), everyone had to truly get the lair ready for when they come, me and Mikey have been training and meditating, and just, it's all chaos.

The only way we've been able to keep a good schedule going is by putting everyone into teams and having strict goals for each team to achieve.

The first goal was the three brothers and splinter. They're task was cleaning and finding places for everything.

The second team was Usagi, Casey, April, Sunita, and Cassandra. They were tasked with researching everything, aswell as helping out with the mapping. We still had a week or two until Vinnie could leave the hospital, so they didn't buy anything yet just in case.

Finally, me, draxum, and Mikey, were training all week. Of course, we had breaks, and I refused to allow Mikey to train hard, but that's all we really did.

However, draxum would help also with moving things while me and Mikey would meditate, and sometimes I'd spar with one of the others while Mikey took a longer much needed break.

When Leo had sparred with me, he used his classic mid-battle banter to accuse me of setting up the leosagi first kiss, and I cheekily admitted to it to get him off guard.

It was close and he fought valiantly, but I still won.

Within that one week timeframe I've learned to partially control my surge of mystic energy, but it's still difficult, especially when I'm stressed. My control over how the energy manifests and moves is maybe just a little bit better, but also parallel to how my hand used to jerk around before it got amputated.

Because of this, Everyone refused to let me do any work other than training. And even then, Mikey would look after me just as much as I looked after him. I was still more strict though, and Mikey still had to defuse a few arguments between me and Draxum, even resorting to Doctor Delicate Touch a couple times.

Today however, was the day that the social workers would be coming to see the lair.

I was incredibly nervous. I knew the lair was now probably the safest place on earth, but i was far more concerned about what they'd say about the sewers themselves.

Splinter, Raph, Donnie, and Casey had agreed to stay at the lair with me to not only help give the tour, but also so I wouldn't be alone.

Leo provided me with one of his swords so we wouldn't have to make the workers walk through sewers, then he and everyone else went and had some fun so the lair wouldn't be absolutely crowded.

We met the social workers outside the hospital, and splinter did the portal to get to the lair. The second they stepped into the entrance of our home, a mix of thoughts and emotions flooded their faces.

Donnie made sure the entire lair smelt good, and made a device that would block off any sewer smells from coming in, so that wasn't an issue. I think the issue was that it was obvious we were in the sewers under new York.

They looked around the front room first, then the tour commenced. We went from room to room, conversing with the social workers. Splinter did most of the talking because he was the adult, but I also spoke with them.
