Two of a Kind

Chapter 4- You WHAT?!

~Jordon's P.O.V~

I winced as Raph bandaged me up. That fight in the alley was a short one, but I did end up with a few scrapes. A cut ran diagonal across my stomach, a bullet had grazed my arm leaving a small gash across it, and Mr. Vest sprained my hand when he tackled me. It was an eventful morning so far.

Raphael looked up from my stomach at me with worry then returned back to patching up my cut. He finished up and said, "I don't like that Joy girl." He got up with the cleaning materials and put them away.

"Really? I like her. It seems like we would make the best of friends." I said a little cheerfully. Raph just looked at me with little interest and then turned his attention to Spike, who had been sitting on the arm of the couch next to me the whole time. "Really, Raph. Her and I are a lot alike." I started counting off my fingers as I listed the things we had in common. "No family since childhood, skilled in fighting, girls, brown hair with unnatural colorings, brown eyes, and a sense of whats right and wrong." Then I added with a smirk, "Well.... At least she has that last one. I don't know about me."

He rolled his eyes at me, but had an amused smirk on his face. We both knew I had some recklessness in me from time to time. I yawned against my will and closed my eyes. My energy always went rock bottom after I used my 'musical powers'. Once it finally hit, there was no stopping me from falling asleep. Before I completely fell into the sweet abyss of slumber, I felt a blanket being placed over me and someone ruffling my head. "Night, Jordy."

I smiled sleepily and wrapped the blanket tighter around myself. "Night.... Raph..."

~Raph's P.O.V~

I made my way to Donatello's lab. He was frantically searching the entire place from top to bottom and looked worried. It was a motion that said I might have to beat him up for whatever it was he'd done. I crossed my arms. "What did you do this time, Donnie?"

He practically jumped five feet in the air and jerked his head to look at me. "Oh, uh, hi Raph!" He laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Aha, yeah.... Well, you see... I kind of.... lost the clone..." My eye twitched and I got angry.

"You did WHAT? DONNIE!!" I chased him around the lab. "HOW DO YOU LOSE A GIANT TURTLE?!?!" Pinning him against the wall, I looked at him fiercely. "What if Jordan finds out about him? Or worse. What if he finds her? Theres no telling how he'll react to her!"

Donnie spoke in his know-it-all voice with nervousness. I couldn't tell if it was because of what could happen to Jordan or of what I would do to him if something did. "There is a 55% chance he will investigate her and a 45% chance he may attack her in some way." Oh no. What if he found her right now? While she was asleep and couldn't defend herself and had no idea what was going on?

I raced out of the lab and to the couch where I had left her. She laid there curled up in the blanket with Spike resting on her chest as she slept. Thank goodness.

Sitting on the arm of the couch next to her feet, I crossed my arms and Donatello came hurriedly in. "You and Mikey go look for the clone topside. Leo and I will keep an eye out for it and Jordan here. Now, GO." He ran out of view and I looked down at Jordy with a worried face.

How long could we keep this secret?
