Red is for Revenge

Chapter 6:

"Alright are we ready," I asked as we positioned ourselves outside the kitchen where Raph was with Spike.

"Yes we're ready for Operation Yellow Dog to commence."

 "Alrighty then, let's get down to business," I whispered the signal.

 Mikey got up and moved into the kitchen while singing,"Let's get down to businessto defeat the HunsDid they send me daughtersWhen I asked for sons?You're the saddest bunchI've ever metBut you can betBefore we're throughMister I'll make a man out of you."        Raph was getting a little annoyed because all he wanted to do was spend time with Spike and Mikey was ruining it with his singing and dancing. Mikey then pretended to notice Raph was in the kitchen.      "Oh hey Raph are you ranting about the world to Spike again," he asked.

 "I do not rant about the world to Spike."

"Yes you do, all the time actually when you think no one's around." I looked at Don and nodded Raph was perfectly distracted and focused completely on Michelangelo. We raised our arms in sync but I threw first followed immediately by Donatello. I hit him in the face and Don followed suit with a direct hit to the crotch. We did high-three and quickly scampered past the door followed by Mikey who barely escaped a raging Raph attempting to catch us. We ran down a drain pipe and rerouted back towards the living room losing Raphael along the way. We stopped a few feet from the entrance panting. I nodded to Donatello it was his turn. He proceeded into the main living area looking distressed he was actually a very good actor.

"Leonardo something terrible has happened," he sat down on a nearby chair and put his head in his hands.

"Donatello what is it," Leo asked tenderly putting his hand on Don's shoulder moving closer to his brother and peering down at him. Suddenly something clicked in my head. What if Leo has a thing for his "brother"?

"It's just that El is planning something terrible to do to you and Raph with Mikey and I learned about it because they wanted me to participate. I don't want something horrible to happen to you or Raph like they're planning but mostly you." That snitch. I wanted to strangle Donnie right then and there but I decided to wait it out.

 I looked at Mikey who was looking at me with a smile and mouthed, 'wait just a minute.' I looked back at Donnie and Leo. Leo had his arm across Don's shoulders and was patting him lightly. "It's okay Don. Nothing bad is going to happen to me, I promise. Tell me more about this thing they are planning maybe we can create a defense against it."

Don looked up at Leo sadness in his eyes, "I don't think you can plan something against it." Suddenly a smile crossed Don's face and that's when Mikey threw his water balloon and it hit Leo right in the face with a loud smack. I proceeded to throw mine and it hit him in the shoulder.

Leo stood up as Mike and I raced into the room. "Shit! Run Don! Mikey run," I shouted as a belligerent Raph followed us. They ran around the corner but unfortunately for me I smacked into the wall and moved to slowly and Raph caught me by the foot as he jumped to catch me.    

"Damn it," I said as I fell.

I turned over and barely managed to push Raph away and off my foot before I quickly stood and pushed the other boys behind me. "I think I'll take the fall for this one," I said with a small smile. Leo reacted just barely fast enough to stop the rampaging Raph from slugging me. "You know if you just came to the meeting when I called one I wouldn't have to go to all this trouble to get you all in the same room. I may be just a girl but this was very serious business I wanted to discuss with all of you. I needed to retrieve some things from my apartment and I was going to include you in my very amazing perfect plan except you skipped out because you weren't ready to deal with more 'girl issues' so fuck you and go to hell."

"El we didn't know you were holding a meeting," Leo said looking at me with innocent eyes. I looked at Raph who was trying to disentangle himself from his brother. He saw where my gaze had drifted as I crossed my arms. "Isn't that right, Raph?"

Raphael looked up at my gaze and then looked at Leo, "No that's not right Leo. There was a meeting but I didn't go because I was to concerned with what was going on in my life to care about what was going on in El's life. I was selfish and didn't consider how I would feel in that situation," he elbowed his brother and successfully pulled away from him. "Ellie I'm sorry."

 "Well sorry doesn't fix it, bub and don't call me Ellie," I turned from him and looked at Leo. 

 "And you," I smacked him across the face. "Don't ever try to lie to me again. I thought you were better than that. You're supposed to lead your brothers and this is the type of example you set. You're lucky I don't march right in that dojo and tell Master Splinter about this. You're an honorable turtle, huh? I'm pretty sure my ass has more honor than you." I turned away and looked at Mikey and Donnie.

"Eleanor, I'm sorry I lied. I just-"

"Don't even start Leo actions speak louder than words even someone like you should know that. You don't really care and until you start to show you do well forget me even acknowledging your existence. Michelangelo and Donatello I believe payment is in order." I hugged each of them and kissed them both on the cheek. "Thanks for caring about me and risking your shells with your brothers for me. Now if you will excuse me I have a reconnaissance mission to orchestrate alone."

I absolutely hate when people do author's notes, but I needed to be done. I know it's been a while since I updated, and I doubt anyone is going to actually read these.
