*Mikey's POV*

I heard bickering coming from Donnie's lab. The usual. I walked in there, ready to break it up.

But what I saw first was unexpected. Raph and Donnie were fighting about something, but my focus was on Kitanna. She was bent over on the ground, clutching her hand against her stomach.

I rushed passed my brothers and slid up to Kitanna. "Hey, are you okay, dudette?"

"Fine... I think," she replied through heavy breathing.

"You don't seem fine," I responded.

"Just a... stomach ache... Donnie's chemical..." she showed me her hand. It had a huge cut in the center of it, and was hinted... purple?

"Hey!" I yelled at my brothers. They immediately stopped shouting at each other. They looked over and saw Kitanna's hand.

I swear Raph's eyes flew out of his head. "What happened?!" He ask/screamed.

"...Glass shard... chemical..." Kitanna's cat eyes widened as she convulsed. Luckily she made it to the garbage can.

"I don't understand... How can that chemical...?" Donnie began. Then he picked up one of the glass shards that had a piece of paper on it. His eyes widened. Quickly he took it over to the lab table and did some weird science stuff to it before looking at it with awe again.

Raph comforted Kitanna by brushing stray strands of hair out of the way while she heaved up... stuff.

"What is it Donnie?" I asked.

"The chemical wasn't stable after all! And now that it has entered Kitanna's system... I don't know what will happen," he quietly stated, worry filling his voice. He looked over at her again.

Now I was worried. What would that chemical do to Kitanna?

*Leo's POV*

I sat staring at the blank Tv screen. The fighting finally died down. So now I could have better thinking space.

She didn't fight me back. Is she really on our side, or playing along with a game of Shredder's? And what was with her calling me by my full name? Was she trustworthy?

I was interrupted by Mikey's yell from the lab. What is going on in there? I shook the thought from my head and continued to think about Kitanna.

But, another thought fell into my head. Sensei's story on his other child. Why had he told us this just now and not before? What was all that about?

I shook my head again as Casey came barreling through on his skates.

"Woah, woah! Casey Jones is out of control!" He said, ramming into a wall.

I just kept starring ahead.

Casey looked over at me, upside down from his position. "Dude, you okay?" He stood and walked over to me. "You haven't been yourself lately. What's bugging you bro?"

I sighed. I had to tell someone, even if it was Casey. "It's... Kitanna..."

"Right, the new girl. She's a good one, bro. Unless she's trying to push you out of her house, or something," Casey replied.

I sighed again. "Never mind," I responded, standing.

I decided to go see what the commotion in the lab was about. The view kind of frightened me. Raph was helping Kitanna hold her hair out of the way while she threw up in a garbage can, Donnie and Mikey were looking at the recent chemical that possibly caused the explosion.

"What is going on in here?" I asked.

Mikey was the first to respond. "Kitanna got cut by a piece of glass and now she has a unknown chemical in her bloodstream!"

I was shocked by his answer until Donnie gave me his 'I just told him that' look.

"Will she be hurt by it?" I asked.

"Well it's not like she's doing so great right now," Raph remarked, helping Kitanna up from the garbage can. "All done?" He asked, humor tinting his voice.

Kitanna smirked and nodded. "The pain is gone from my stomach, but now I feel a..." she stopped mid sentence. Her already yellow eyes glowed brighter. She about fell, but with Raph at her side she still stood.

"What's happening now?" Mikey questioned.

"Another precognitive event?" Donnie suggested, hopefully.

---------------------------------------------

*Kitanna's POV*

The blurred pictures flew around in my head. They wouldn't focus. All I could see was four small green blobs, a giant yellow tubular device, and the Shredder.

Nothing else would focus correctly. All that was there was frozen blobs of color. I was the only one moving.

The picture stayed in my mind for a while, unchanging. Then it disappeared, and I was back in reality.

"Are you okay?!" Raph yelled.

"Yes..." I trailed off. "Why are you yelling?"

"You... didn't respond the first twenty times..." he was cut off by an alarm.

"Donnie?!" Mikey yelled. "My T-phone won't shut up!"

"Mikey, that's my T-phone! It's Purple Dragon activity!" Donnie screamed.

"Let's get going then," Leonardo said, running towards the exit.

I stood, preparing to go with them, but was unsteady. My head swirled as I swayed back and forth.

"Easy there, Kitanna. You're staying here," Raph stated firmly. He led me to the couch.

Grudgingly, I took a seat. I fake pouted and looked up at him.

He chuckled. "Sorry, you were the one who cleaned up the mess."

I smirked. "Let's hope I didn't just get into another," I stated. But a twinge of doubt flew through my veins.

I already have.
