As soon as Donnie and Osa woke up, they went back inside the school to go find Leo. They found him close by, sitting in the Commons with his son, Jaxson. Together, they walk up to their leader as they tried to wake themselves up a little more. "Morning, Leo." Donnie greeted him at one of the tables.

"Morning," Leo says, holding his son in his arms. "How was watch last night?"

Osa glances at her left hand, seeing the bling sparkling on her finger. She smirked and looked up at Donnie and back to Leo. "Good. It was good."

Leonardo looks at Osa's hand, too, noticing that she had a ring on that finger of hers. He gestured to it. "What's that, there?"

Donnie instantly answered his brother. "Leo, I would like to introduce you to..." He cleared his throat, pushing his glasses up further on his face. "...Your sister-in-law. Osita." He smirked at Leo.

Leonardo's eyes widen at the news, nodding slowly with a smile forming on his lips. "You're married... Wow, uh... congrats, guys. Really. This is great." He says, trying to grasp the new change.

"Thank you." Don nodded, quickly changing the subject before this became awkward. "Leo, we wanted to ask you something." He paused. "We want to go investigate the hospital here. Arrows live there, I believe."

"You want to explore out of this building?" Leo wanted to confirm.

Don nods. "Yes. We want to see if the Arrows are here. It's one of the reasons why we came here, right?"

Leo doesn't say anything at first, he just took a brief moment to make a choice. "You're right... You are both not going alone, are you?"

"We plan to take a group," Donnie says to him.

"Sounds good..." Leo said, not sounding very cheerful today.

"Leo, are you okay?" Donnie asked, taking a step forward toward his brother.

Leo looks up at his tall sibling. "Criss and I had... an argument last night. It's gonna be fine, I promise."

Don wasn't sure what to say to that. He just thought it would be best to move away from his brother until he was feeling a little better. "I'm sorry." Don backed away. "I'll catch up with you later, then."

"Yeah," Leo says.

Donnie chose to take a small number of people along for the run to Sacred Heart Hospital, the assuming home of the Arrows. He chose to take Regan, Alex, Grace, Mikey, Clem, and Zayn. Donnie looks at each of his group members, including his new wife. "Remember," He says, looking at each of them outside the front doors of the school. "I run this group. Got it?"

Grace agreed with the mutant. "Yeah, yeah. Sure thing." She says with the others.

"Good." Says Donnie.

Now that things have been settled, Donnie grabbed Stamina from the school's soccer field with a few of the other horses. Coming along for the party, Kharoma wishes to help her friends today. "If you don't mind," She says to Donnie. "I would like to be of service." She walked beside him and the other horses.

The mutant turtle looks at the black horse, unsure about this. "Kharoma, I don't think it would be a good idea."

"Please," She snorted, trotting in front of the horses and Donnie, making them stop in their path. "I may just look like a talking thoroughbred, but I'm beneficial."

"Is that so?" Don chuckled at her.

"For sure," Says Kharoma. "Consider me a good luck charm."

Donnie laughed at her, understanding what she meant, though. "You being quiet has its benefits, true. A human conscience stuck inside a horse's body..."
