Olivia woke up and stretched, her pony tail slapping her back. She'd slept on the couch last night. And it wasn't as bad as she expected. It was a rather soft couch. The smell of breakfast wafted into her nostrils. Her stomach began to churn signalling that she was indeed hungry.

With a sigh, she pushed herself off of the couch and made her way to the kitchen. Mikey stood over the stove, three frying pans before him. "Hey Liv!" He grinned. "Hey Mikey." she responded sitting down between Leo and Donnie. Raph was across from her, fast asleep with his head on the table and mouth open wide. "Do you want bacon or sausage with your eggs?" Mikey inquired. "Sausage will be fine." She said simply. Mikey nodded and handed her a plate. She picked up a sausage and plopped it into her mouth.

Her eyes widened as her mouth exploded with flavor. "Wow Mikey! This... This is amazing!" Mikey smirked. "I know." "Boys! It is time to train!" An authoritative voice boomed. A mutant rat entered the room a second afterward. Olivia sunk deeper into her chair, not wanting to be seen by him. He kind of... Scared her. Mikey, Donnie, and Leo bowed swiftly saying "Hai Sensei." The rat's eyes landed on Rapheal. He sighed. "Wake him up." He said simply. Mikey smirked. "With pleasure."

Without hesitation, he pulled out his nunchucks and hit Raph in the head. The hotheaded turtle jumped up with a start, eyes wild and shocked. Then they narrowed angrily and landed o Mikey. "Why you..." "Raphael! Enough!" The rat boomed. Raph stopped instantly, shame coating his face. "Dojo. Now. All of you!" The boys didn't hesitate to follow orders. Soon it was only Olivia.

Her plans to stay invisible were foiled when the rat's russet eyes landed on her. They narrowed. "Who are you?" He inquired rather harshly. Olivia chuckled nervously. "well um... You see I'm... I am... " "Sensei this is Olivia." Leo interjected. Olivia mouthed the words 'thank you' to him. He merely smiled back. The rat raised an eyebrow "Leonardo. May I speak to you please? Alone?" It came out more as a command than a question. Leo nodded and shot Olivia an 'it's alright' smile. He walked after sensei who went past Leo's brothers in the dojo and into his room, shutting the door behind him.

Suddenly he turned to Leo with a stone cold glare. "You invited a complete stranger into the lair?!" He demanded. "You know nothing of her! She could be working for Saki!" "But she's not." Leo mumbled. "What was that?" Splinter's eyes narrowed once more. "N-Nothing sensei." Leo rushed wincing. Splinter crossed his arms. "I expect a full explanation, Leonardo." Leo gulped. "I don't fully understand it myself sensei." He admitted, absentmindedly twiddling with his thumbs. Sighing, he continued.

"Have you ever... Have you ever just had an unexplainable urge to protect someone. No matter what the risk. Even if it cost you everything?" Leo looked up at the wise rat with innocent sapphire eyes. Splinter's anger softened a bit. He sighed. "Yes my son. I feel that way everyday." He walked over and picked up his old human family picture. "I felt it all the time with Tang Shen."

He gave a sad smile. "And little Miwa." He placed the photo back and turned to Leo. "And I feel it with you and your brothers, Leonardo." Leo said nothing. He only continued to listen. Splinter placed a hand on his eldest son's shoulder. "I understand you completely, my son." He assured. Leo smiled and stood. "Thank you sensei." Splinter nodded and walked back to the door with Leo, sliding it open to reveal Olivia pacing.

She stopped suddenly. "Sorry! I was just worried that I had gotten Leo in trouble and I wanted to be here to vouch for him, so..."Splinter chuckled. "That's quite alright... Olivia, was it?" She nodded. "My name is Splinter. Would you care to join my sons and I for training, today?" Olivia and Leo exchanged looks. "Are you sure? I mean,  I pack quite a punch." Splinter laughed. "Positive."

Olivia flipped Mikey over her head without breaking a sweat. "Bam!" She cheered. "Last mutant standing!" She and Leo had warned everyone about her special abilities before training. Apparently, they thought she was kidding. "Dudes. My everything hurts." Mikey groaned. Olivia chuckled. "Sorry Mikester." She whispered, helping him to his feet.

"Hello? Guys? Are you in here?" A female voice called. Donnie gasped. "April is here!!!!!" He silently squealed. "You know you get more pathetic each time." Raph said. "In here April!" Leo called. Soon, a redheaded girl with baby blue eyes and freckles walked in followed by a boy with shaggy black hair and dark brown eyes. The first thing they saw when the entered was Olivia. Instantly, they got into defense positions, the girl pulling out a tessen while the boy took out a bat.

"Dudes! There's a human girl in here!" The boy exclaimed. The girl's eyes narrowed. "She probably works for Shredder." Olivia raised an eyebrow and pointed at the guy's with her thumb. "Don't you think they'd be dead by now then?" The girl lowered her tessen and relaxed a bit. "That makes sense." She sheathed her tessen and held out a hand kindly. "I'm April." Olivia took it. "I'm Olivia."

Suddenly she was snatched close the the boy, who held her hips. "The names Jones. Casey Jones." He said rather flirtatiously. Olivia scoffed and wriggled her way out of Casey's grasp. "You already know me." She said simply. "And I can yell I'm not going to like you." She added silently. Leo was the only one who heard her. He snickered at her sass. April's gasp brought everyone's attention toward her. She pointed to Olivia's white jumpsuit.

"Did you guys seriously let her waltz around here in a Kraang prison suit?!?!" She demanded. The guys gave her a confused look. "How long has she been wearing this?!?!" "Um, since Fearless rescued her. " Raph said. April shook her head in disappointment. "I'm sorry the guys are so oblivious to feminine needs." It was Olivia's turn to look confused then. "I always leave spare clothes here. We look like we can wear about the same size."
