Can('t) This Day Get Any Better?

Turtles' Point of View

Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo had gathered themselves at their kitchen table, where they found their father/sensei, Master Splinter, sitting near your mother. They looked deep in conversation, a happy one by the looks and sounds of it, but only until the adults of the room took notice of the three mutant terrapin teenagers.

"Is there anything that may need to ask us, my sons?" Master Splinter asked his three turtle mutant boys as they looked up at him.

"Well, Sensei, we just...." Leonardo tried to begin to explain to his father. But then, your own mother seemed to beat him to it first, "Well, Hamato Yoshi have been talking just now, and I just wanted to say thank you, to you boys. Thank you, for finding and protecting my daughter, for me."

The young Hamato terrapins looked up at your mother with gratitude-filled expressions on their reptilian faces. "We just did whatever we could, Norio Chou." Raph told her.

"Oh please, boys, just call me (Y/M/N). No need to be formal with me now, okay?" your mother requested of the Hamato teenagers, whom simply nodded back at her in a mutual,respectful manner.

"So (Y/M/N), I hope you wouldn't mind me asking this, but," Michelangelo began to say nervously, "how did you end up in Shredder's prison on the night to tried to rescue (Y/N)?"

Your mother took a sad, deep breath and gestured for them to sit down at the table in front of her and Master Splinter, "Have a seat, kodomo. I'll tell you all about it from the beginning."

"After my husband was taken away from me by Oroku Saki that night so many years ago, and the Kraang took me away from (Y/N) and her desperate screams, they simply took me back to TCRI for more of their experiments on me. Once I finally headed up there, I again heard (Y/N)'s screams from one of the other rooms, as the Kraang did what they did to her. I tried to get to her and pull her into my arms for protection, but I was strapped down tight. Eventually, in fact just two nights ago, the Kraang had a different idea in mind for what to do with me next. After being knocked out cold and taken away again by them, I ended up in front of Oroku Saki himself atop of his own throne. Knowing fully well who I was, he had me beat up pretty badly in that cell. But only till all of you then came by to rescue my daughter, which I'm again very grateful for you boys, to be able to do so." Your mother's explanation saddened the Hamato boys, but then were again proud of themselves for being able to serve in the way that they did for (Y/N)'s own mother.

"Also," your mother added onto her previous thankful statement, "I just heard from Master Splinter that she's awake and recovering well, is that true?"

The young mutants in the room nodded their heads happily, making your mother smile brightly. Master Splinter was also smiling, before turning towards his own sons again with a knowing look on his face that made them slightly squeamish and nervous all over again, "So, my sons, is there something that you would like to tell me and Miss (Y/M/N)?" the young mutant faces of the turtles before him altogether put Raphael's red mask to shame in embarrassment.

The two adults then gave each other 'the look' for when it came to such a scenario such as this one. The young mutant teens seemed to have caught on with it as well, and began to tell them of how they've been 'feeling' about you lately whether they liked it or not.

~General Point of View~

Some time later, you woke up from your much-needed nap, and you had to admit it, but you were starting to feel better. Well, not as much as to just get up out of your cot and fight or what have you, but at least enough to be able to take things slowly. You know, baby steps. Just start to get used to your body again, maybe a few slow katas, then continue to work your way back up to your former kunoichi training level. Yeah, that sounds fine.
