"There's no doubt about it." Donnie mumbled, his eyes scanning the papers in his hands. "You're relatives. Doesn't say you're siblings, but then again, it doesn't say anything about your relationship at all. It could be the Kraang DNA interferes with the test I currently am using. It'll take some more investigating to find out just how close you two are."
"While, I've always wanted a sister... We don't look alike at all." April chewed her pinky nail.
"Mhm." Robin nodded. I took the time to take in how she looked compared to April. The warm tawny of Robin to the fair ivory of April. Wavy chocolate brown hair to pin straight red hair. Warm amber eyes to bright baby blues.
Caution to confidence. Though, they had a few things in common. Their face shape, their height, their powers... Oh. Freckles, and lots of them.
"You have powers?" She glanced to me but mainly kept her eyes on April.
"Y-Yeah! Do you?"
"Yes."
"She's a telepath. She can read minds." I spoke up for her.
"I have partial telepathy. Just enough to track people down, within a two mile radius." She sat on Donnie's table. "I specialize in telekinesis. Though, I'm not too good at that unless I'm in a fight."
"I only deal with people's minds." Robin rolled her shoulders. "I can't control when I read minds half of the time. It's usually, whoever I can see or who's in a given area like a room. Trying to block it out physically exhausts me."
"So, I can imagine being out on the streets during the day must be hell." April sighed.
"I try my best not to, if I can help it. My brother keeps me inside until it's dark o-" Her eyes widened and she gasped softly. "I have a brother! I was supposed to meet him at his house. God, how long have I been here?" She looked around the lab for what I assumed to be a clock or calendar.
"I could have a brother?!" April held her face in shock. "Score!"
"You've been here for three days." Donnie informed.
"Th-Three days. He's probably worried sick." She muttered.
"Does he have powers? What does he look like!?" April excitedly asked.
"He's uh... Six foot one. Just a little lighter skinned than me. His hair is a brownish dirty blonde, and curly. His eyes are dark green. He has freckles, like us." Robin tried her best to describe him "His name's Mack. He's got enhanced strength. That's it. "
"A strong older brother! Ah, a dream come true." She paused. "Is he older?"
"By four years. Uh, f-for me at least. I'm nineteen, as of this October."
"What? No fair!" April groaned. "You're both older than me."
"Only by a few months?" Donnie tried to cheer her up.
"She turns nineteen next March." Mikey laughed.
"How old are you?" She asked me curiously.
"Twenty one." We all said in unison.
"Wait, you're like, quadruplets?"
"Kinda?" I squinted.
"Long story. Biologically, Mikey and I share a dad and Leo and Raph share a dad. But we all have the same mom. We got bought at a pet store by our adoptive, but now biological father and we all got mutated together. But our dad was mutated into a rat because one just so happened to be passing by at that time. We got his human DNA while he got the rat's DNA and it's all a little complicated."
"And he raised you all to fight crime?" She asked, bewildered.
"Well, no." Leo rubbed the back of his neck. "He brought us up teaching us the martial arts he learned growing up, because there was nothing else to do and he wanted us to be able to defend ourselves if the Kraang came around again. Which they did. We just chose to leave the house on our birthday and finally explore what was up there around the time they resurfaced."
"The Kraang took me and my dad that same day, that was how I met them."
"The Kraang took our dad." Robin said, piecing things together.
"So, you know who the Kraang are?" Donnie asked.
"They took my dad when I was five. We don't know our mom. Dad wrote in a journal that his earliest memory is coming home with my brother alone, then there's a big blank of working in a lab, and he remembered coming home with me. After that it was peaceful until they came for him the last time. My brother lives in dad's old house, because he believes my dad is out there somewhere. But, I live in my van, and travel to some of the most peaceful and quiet places in America."
"You live in a van?"
"I do! I recently have developed some transmission issues with her, though. That's the reason I was walking to his house and got attacked by that maniac." She explained, wincing at the thought of being attacked.
"You can stay with me!" April offered.
"Uh, here? In New York? The loudest city in the world?"
"It'd be a great opportunity to get to know each other as family."
"I dunno, April. I really am used to being by myself. I'm not even that close with Mack. I'm only here to meet his fiancee. Afterwards, I was gonna head to Nevada for the winter and-" Her eyes met April's. "Are you hitting me with the puppy dog face because I'll have you know I'm an expert at that, and you won't faze me a bit." She turned away from April, but glanced back. Her face reddened. "Fine, fine! God, we have to be related because you're too good at that. I can stay until my van is fixed. Then I gotta go."
"Oh, you won't regret this Robin, we're gonna have so much fun!" She ran up to her and hugged her tightly.
"A hugger. Mack's gonna love you." Robin squirmed a little.
"When can I meet him?"
"Whenever you want? Although, I really gotta tell him I'm alive and what happened back there."
"I can escort you, just in case anybody else decides they want to act up again tonight." I offered.
"M-Me too!" Leo spoke up.
"Really? Are you sure?" I asked him, confusedly. Look at him. Something's up.
"You really don't have to, Leonardo." Her eyes flicked my way, meaning she must have heard my thought.
"It'd be, uh, easier if we all were there to explain the current situation." Leo stuck by his plan to tag along.
"If you say so." Robin swung her feet as she sat on the table. Cute. I froze as she immediately stopped swinging her feet.
"It's not cute. All of you. Stop that!" Her face was bright red.
