Background: It's 2042, mutants and non-humans are a recognized (although not totally accepted) minority. The Turtles have been separated for thirty years, since the death of their sensei, when they split to go their separate ways.

It was raining when exited his motel room. Great.

It had taken Leo thirty years to get this close to catching the assassin who had killed his sensei Splinter, and he wasn't about to lose the trail now, not to a little bad weather. He lifted his collar up and headed out. She had always managed to stay one step ahead of him, always. Now would be different, she was slowing down, tiring. They both knew that the chase was coming to an end.

Leo thought back on that day, when a single ninja infiltrated the lair. It was a great battle, but Splinter had been killed by a tainted shuriken. Leo swore to avenge Splinter's death, and had left to go after the assassin right after the funeral. He hadn't had much contact with his brothers or friends since then, but he had his ways of keeping track of them.

Across town, a woman stepped out of a taxi in front of a lavish hotel and handed the driver the fee, plus a large tip. She smiled at the doorman and headed straight for her penthouse room. She removed her jacket and hat and made herself a cup of tea.

Thirty years, she mused as she stared out her window into the storm. It'll be nice to see you again, Leonardo.
