Turtles Forever

Return To New York Part One

Later, at night, in the sewers. Water drops down from the pipes. Leo looks around the corner. He turns to Raph who was climbing a ladder as he jumped down "All clear."

Casey was nearby and he accidentally knocks a can. He smiles sheepishly. "Nice one, Casey." Donnie deadpans as the others emerge from the shadows. "Why don't you broadcast it to the door ninjas?" Mikey asks sarcastically.

"I'm telling ya. There's nobody down here!" Casey argues and they walked behind him. Splinter sniffs the air. He nods at Casey "I believe that you may be right, Mr. Jones."

April places her hands on her hips "Well, that'd be a first."

Donnie turns a pipe and the rest move away from the walls. He opens a panel and types in a code and the wall moves revealing a door. It opens revealing, the Lair. "Welcome home, everybody."

"Ah, just as we left it." Leo comments as they entered.

"Cool!" Raph said "Home sweet home! "

Donnie walks over to his computer station. "And you were worried the foot would find this place, Mikey."

"Heck yeah!" Mikey opens a cabinet. "I couldn't hear the thought of them harming my babies." He pulls out two bags of chips. "Hello, babies. Daddy missed you! Yes, he did!" Mikey misses the bags and Casey shakes his head, rolling his eyes.

Mikey eats a chip the grabs a carton of milk and starts to drink it. "Um, wouldn't that milk be about three months old?" Casey pointed out. Mikey makes a disgusted face and quickly spits it out "That would explain the chunks." He looks to see Casey covered in milk.

"I don't get it. Last time, the sewers were crawling with foot goons searching for us. Why would the Shredder send them all home?" Raph said as he punches his punching bag. Leo grabs it.

"Maybe he thinks there's no one left to search for?" He points out.

"You know, being dead might have it's advantages." Raph murmurs.

"Yeah, it just might give us the element of surprise." Leo answers in thought.

"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Mikey asks as he and Casey stepped out of the kitchen.

"He's thinking, what you think he's thinking." Donnie answers.

"If he's thinking what I'm thinking. Then I think we shouldn't be thinking. Wouldn't you think?" Raph replies pointing to Casey, who looks completely confused "Huh?"

"I'm just as confused as you are Casey." Yuuki replies.

"The Shredder believes us vanquished in the explosion at Miss O'Niel's. Thus, leaving our enemy vulnerable to a surprise attack." Shredder explains.

Leo gives a look in thought. "Okay, if we're going to do this. We need to find out about everything we can about foot headquarters."

"I don't know if I can hack the system. It was designed by Doctor Baxter Stockman himself" Donnie answers hesitantly.

"To bad you don't know anybody who used to work with Stockman." April points out and the two smirked at each other. Donnie moves aside and April sat down cracking her hands.
