Marsha giggled slightly, shaking her head at his behavior. "Maybe it's because she doesn't want anyone else to know about it," she suggested, not really knowing how or why herself.

"That, amung other things..." Randi replied with a sigh, "But I've got a plan to get them to leave us alone."

"Really?" Marsha asked, shifting to the edge of the couch, a bit more interested in what she had planned.

She stared at him, "The Mutant Militia, Leonardo, they're the ones I've devoted the past ten years of my life against..." ~They're the reason I didn't show up that night...~

"I see..." Leo murmured.

She did so gently and precisely, as if doing so in any other way would harm Leonardo. He felt her other hand touch that scar he had so despirately wanted to hide. "I remember when my shades broke during that one fight with the foot..." Randi didn't need to say anymore on the subject. That had been the first time any of the turtles or friends had seen her real eyes.

He had the urge to jerk away when she touched the scar, but remained still and silent. The foot are gone now... he thought, looking directly at her.

He had the urge to jerk away when she touched the scar, but remained still and silent. The foot are gone now... he thought, looking directly at her.

~And yet,~ Her voice whispered, ~You're still here... True inspiration for someone in my place.~ She lowered her hands from him, placing his now folded shades in his hands and looked to Marsha.

"I'd tell you out right my plan," She replied, "But the lair isn't as secure as I'd like..." She reached up to Leo's head again, this time pulling off her hat. "Which brings me to my next topic... would you two care to have dinner with me?"

Marsha giggled slightly, shaking her head at his behavior. "Maybe it's because she doesn't want anyone else to know about it," she suggested, not really knowing how or why herself.

Raph only grumbled, "When I go back, Leo's goanna give me a lecture, I know it." He scoffed, "It ain't any of his business anyways."

~And yet,~ Her voice whispered, ~You're still here... True inspiration for someone in my place.~

Leo watched her silently, glancing from his shades back to Graysight. He felt like saying something, but remained silent as she spoke, taking back her hat.

"Which brings me to my next topic... would you two care to have dinner with me?"

Marsha raised an eyebrow at this, a small smirk on her face. Wouldn't you rather have dinner with Leo rather than with the both of us? she asked in a slightly teasing voice. ...never mind... she shook her head and smiled. "Sure, that'd be nice." she turned to Leo. "What do you say, Leo?"
Leonardo paused before answering. "...of course...."

Present

Marsha shrugged again. "Unless you'd rather stay here a bit longer before we head back?"

~This involves both of you.~ Came the reply, Marsha was one of the few who knew how Randi really felt. ~Besides, what I'd rather have doesn't matter at this point.~

Over the years, Randi had come to the conclusion that actions speak louder than anything else. It doesn't matter how you feel about the subject, it's what you do -- or try to do -- about it.

she shook her head and smiled. "Sure, that'd be nice." she turned to Leo. "What do you say, Leo?"
Leonardo paused before answering. "...of course...."

"Good." She set her hat straight on her head, "Let's go... I'm hungry and I'm sure they're wondering where I went to."

Marsha shrugged again. "Unless you'd rather stay here a bit longer before we head back?"

Raph looked up at the sky, "Yeah, lets stay here."

Oh...I'm sorry, Randi...I didn't mean any harm to the subject... Marsha replied, softly, standing up. "One question...will Don be joining us?"
Leonardo stared at her, surprised. She had never once brought up his brother's name since the last time they saw each other. As he made his way towards the door, he looked to Graysight, awaiting the answer.

Present

"So, what do you want to talk about?" she asked, a small smile on her face.

[-Savannah-]

Ana stayed completely out of the conversation, her mind anywhaere else but here. Tucking her knees up to her flat chest, she kept silent, staring down at her feet.

[Garou]

((Sorry - meant the Atlantis...))


Raphael turned his fists to balls, slamming them fiercely against the large punching bag in the middle of the room, over and over to try and calm his anger down. But nothing worked. With a great punch, he made the chains holding the bag break, causing the large sandback to hit the floor with a large thud. The turtle sighed deeply to himself. Being alone in his own little world had been the best choice, he had ever made in his life - away from all the new mutants wandering the sewers. He couldn't take it. Wouldn't a normal turtle find it great not to be so alone anymore? Probably, but who cared? It was fine enough, when they hadn't been so many in the sewers.

Raph sat down on the punching back, closing his eyes, as he rested his face in his hands and quick images from the past flowed past his mind. He slowly opened his eyes again, looking towards a large hole in the wall.

'Ana...' Where was she now...?

*

Angel slowly turned to head home, keeping her wings closer to her body, so they wouldn't hit the cold bricks of the wall and roof. Through a small hole, she entered what she had made her home over the past few years. Plants covered the walls and roofs, decorating the room with flowers in all the colors of the world. She smiled somewhat to herself, sitting down on a madras.

[Lioness-Goddess]

((wow am I lost...welp, I'll do my best! ))

PRESENT

Don looked down at Randi's coat which he still held, and then back up. He had no idea what to say. You're too shy... A voice in his head teased.

FUTURE

Mikey walked along a cold rooftop, staring down at the maze of cars and lights and people below him. He sat next to a marble gargoyle, absently running his hand over the smooth stone.

Raph had shown him this place when he was younger....Mikey sighed. He hadn't seen his brothers in a long time, and he couldn't help but wonder what they were up to, and if they were even alive.

Mikey had been the last to leave. He loved attention, and company. He didn't like lonliness. Sighing, Mikey heaved himself up and began to descend to street level, deciding to take a trip down memory lane.

Future:

Over the last few years, Ana had roughed. When she was a teenager, she was always the damsel in distress, but now it was the other way around. Sitting down a large boulder with a thud, Ana sighed, leaning up against her knees. Gazing around, lost in thought, she wondered how all of this came to be.

~Grr... Why was I so stupid? Letting my guard because of some... some guy... But he wasn't some guy was he? He was more than that... Oh Rapheal... I'm sorry...~ she thought, hugging herself.

Present

The door to the girls' room opened and Randi stood in it's frame. She looked first at the whole of the room and then to Angel and Don. Suddenly, she forgot why she had decided to come out when only a few minutes earlier she had chosen simply to hide away. Better make an excuse so not to look as eccentric as she really was. "...Is there anything I can do... to help with the coat?" It was better than nothing... right?

..~*~..

Raph didn't know he had to talk to actually hang out with her. He didn't have to talk when he was hanging out with Ana, and during those rare times when Randi and he weren't at war simply walking in silence seemed to work. He looked at Marsha and gave a slight shrug. "I dunno." He replied and then looked up at the sky. Wait, he did know. "I hate it here..." He replied, "I wanna be someplace... fresh, ya know? where ya can actually see the stars an' stuff. Maybe I should go to the farm?"

Future

Don had been informed that Angel had entered and immediatly left the area. The team had finished thier updates on Charlie and Delta and were now working on Sector Echo. This had been the very hall that Randi had been able to sneak out of undetected by either the Tech Security or her own personal guards. Who, by this time had already informed both Security teams that their beloved leader was yet again missing.

The turtle wasn't worried, though. Graysight could take care of herself... it was Randi and Miranda that he was worried about.

A female hare came running down the path. It was Michaela Topaz, Daniel Topaz's wife. Most likely, she was looking for her kits again. "Have you seen..."

"Chase and Hunt?" Don asked, and shook his head. "No, did you tell Main Security yet?"

"Yes... they're starting a search now..." Michaella, whom Don had determined was just as eccentric as Randi, replied. "Oh those two... they'll be the death of me!"

"I'll keep a look out for them," Don reassured.

"Thank you! I'll see if they're playing in one of the other tunnels."

..~*~..

Randi smirked at Marsha. ~No harm done.~ She then blinked at the mention of Don. "Well, I don't see why not... I mean, he has to eat too." She grinned at them and started for the door.

Leo and Marsha began to follow Randi. "So...where exactly are we going?" Leo asked. Marsha kept silent, her thoughts elsewhere.

Ana stood back up, trying to relieve herself of those pesky memories. She believed her past was merely a dream. No. More like a nightmare. ~Love. What a damn joke.~ she thought sneering slightly.

Raphael fell silent for about ten minutes. He opened his mouth, closed it, opened again, but no words came out. He wasn't even sure of what he wanted to say.

Future

Leo and Marsha began to follow Randi. "So...where exactly are we going?" Leo asked. Marsha kept silent, her thoughts elsewhere.

She turned her head a bit to smile at Leoa nd Marsha. "My place. I wanna show you around." Randi moved quickly through the sewers as sure as a mouse whose run through the same maze hundreds of times. After a few minutes, she dropped abruptly and turned to stared down a tunnel that wasn't as dark as it should been. Lights danced around and two of them fell on her.

"Graysight!" Came the voice from the tunnel

"What!" Randi's voice sounded slightly harsh and annoyed.

"Ma'am!" The voice replied, only closer. "You disapeared. We went-..."

"People don't just 'disapear', Sergeant Gordan." Randi cut him off, "I did not 'disapear'; for, if I had, I wouldn't be here, now would I?"

The black and white rat who had just appeared out of the tunnel followed by a few other mutants and humans blinked. "Well, uh... I suppose?" The rat, Gordan, looked Marsha and Leo. "And... who are they... Ma'am?"

Randi turned to look at Leo and Marsha. There was a split second look of surprise on her face which quickly went to stone. She looked back to Gordan. "They are friends of mine. The male is Leonardo, he is Donatello's brother. The female is Marsha, she is close to Donatello too. Anymore questions?"

"...No ma'am... would you like us to escort your guests and you back?"

"..." She simply nodded and began to follow the rat and his troupe. She growled to herself. That stupid girl, getting in the way of things. There was no time to play!

Raphael stood up with a grunt, walking towards the door. He needed some fresh air. With quick steps, he got out of his home and up a ladder, only to climb further upwards and standing on to of a building.

"What the?" he asked himself, looking down at a human lying by a phone booth. He looked like he needed help...

*

Angel looked up at the plants covering the walls, as she crossed her legs and positioned herself to meditate. Leo had taught her about it. She really mised him and the other turtles, but after her "little" change, she didn't feel it was a good idea to return to the others. With a sigh, she closed her eyes and meditated, as the flowers started to move and grow, as well as the leeves and branches around her.

With a sigh, she closed her eyes and meditated, as the flowers started to move and grow, as well as the leeves and branches around her.

From behind one of the larger plants in Angel's home, two pairs of soft green eyes watched her with great awe; they had seen people with wings before, but making plants grow like that was completely new. The two looked at each other and then each started for a different side of the room.

It was Chase and Hunt, the very twins that Michaella had been searching for. The two cream colored hares had been able to leave the confines of Alantis by following Miss Graysight; however, in the twists and turns of the sewers they had lost track of the turtle. They two would have panicked but then they spotted Angel and decided to follow her instead. Chase and Hunt knew about Angel, she was one of the mutants that Miss Graysight used to tell them stories about... Miss Graysight never told them about Angel making plants grow!

The one in the Red shirt, Chase had moved to Angel's right and decided to stay there instead of getting closer. Hunt, who was in a blue shirt, had different ideas. When he reached Angel's left, he began to creap closer -- his long soft ears twitching with antisipation (sp) with each step until he was right next to her. Chase let out a silent groan, his brother was going to get them caught!

Wrong!

He moved more to his left in order to get to a plant more behind Angel and instead... tripped over a smaller one. "Woah! Oomph!" Chase fell flat on his face. Hunt froze for a split second and silently dove to hide dirctly behind Angel and her wings.

Chase pushed himself up to a sitting position and then saw his knee. There was blood dripping over the cream-colored fur. The hare sniffled and then began to cry.

[Garou]

"Wha!" Angel yelped in surprise, jerking her body up to sit on her knees. She blinked a little by the sight of the young hare, and then saw the other one trying to hide behind her. She had been so caught up in her meditation, that she hadn't heard anything at all. The feline didn't know what to say. She had been alone for so long that - speaking with anyone seemed so different from what she remembered. She looked down at the hare with the red shirt and sat down beside him. She gently lifted her hands and placed them above his knee, closing her eyes and letting the blue light surround both her hands and the hare's knee. The wound slowly closed itself, leaving no trail of the accident except for some blood still stained in the fur. Angel removed her paws with a small smile, looking up at the kid again.

"Better?" she asked in a soft voice, still sitting beside him.

Ana silently gazed at her book, flipping pages before she found something interesting.

Raphael fell silent for about ten minutes. He opened his mouth, closed it, opened again, but no words came out. He wasn't even sure of what he wanted to say.

Marsha glanced over at Raph and shook her head, a small smile on her face as she kept her silence, looking back up at the sky.

"..." She simply nodded and began to follow the rat and his troupe. She growled to herself. That stupid girl, getting in the way of things. There was no time to play!

Leo walked beside her now. "Randi? Who are they? Are they part of the militia?" he asked in a whisper.
Marsha stayed silent as she walked on the other side of Randi. She watched the troops closely, but her thoughts were elsewhere at this time. Finally, she would be able to see Donatello again, but could she even find the courage to gather up a conversation with him? Was this even such a good idea?
