Trust in the Shadows

The Alien Agenda: Part 2

Alyssa's POV:

I'm standing on a rooftop waiting for Karai's inevitable arrival, and sooner or later, she appears.

Me: "How'd I know you'd show up?"

Karai: *laughs* "'Cause you're not good at hiding from me?"

Me: "Like last night."

Karai: "Oh, were you there? I didn't notice. I did see a bunch of robots, though. What's their deal?"

Me: "Their deal is they're incredibly dangerous. Stay away from them."

Karai: "I like them already. Something else is going on. What is it?"

Me: "I'm not sure I should tell you anymore. Raphael says I can't trust you anymore."

Karai: "He makes a good point. Eventually, I am going to destroy you."

Karai draws her weapon, and I do the same as we lunge at each other and attack.

Me: "I don't think you are."

Karai: *laughs* "Really? And what do you think this is?"

Me: "I think it's a cry for help. I think you're looking for a way out of the Foot Clan, and I can help you."

Karai: *chuckles* "You're adorable. Stupid, but adorable."

Karai lunges with another attack before rushing across the rooftops until I stop her.

Me: "You wanna play games? I can handle it, but I need your word that you will not attack Leo or my brothers."

Karai: "You know I can't do that."

We then lunge at each other and hold each other at arm's length with our swords.

Me: "Then understand this. If you come after them, I'll come after you to finish what I started 6 years ago. Hear me?"

Karai retreats and backflips away.

Karai: "Loud and clear."

With that, she rushes off.

{Time skip}

I return to the lair to find Raph waiting for me.

Raph: "So, are you gonna tell the guys about her?"

Me: "No need. We had a little chat, and, uh, she's gonna leave us alone."

Raph: "Oh, right, because villains always back off when you ask them to. Maybe I'll text the Kraang and ask them to stop mutating stuff."

I glare at Raph before walking into the kitchen to meet with Mikey, Donnie, & Leo.

Leo: *whispers* "You ok?"

Me: *whispers* "Later. Please?"

Leo nods and wraps an arm around my shoulders in support as Mikey speaks up.

Mikey: "Ok, guys, what do you want: omelet pizza or pizza omelet?"

Raph: "What's the difference?"

Mikey: "Ok, you called my bluff."

Then, all our T-phones go off with a group text from April.

Donnie: "Hey, did you guys just get a mass text from April?"

Raph, Leo, & I: "Yeah."
