It all started because of that kid

I wake up and my head is pounding. I am in a sterile, metal room and the bed I’m lying in is cold and uncomfortable against my back. I look down at myself and see that I’m still wearing clothes, gotta always check that because you never know. I try to move my legs but I stop in seconds as pain racks my whole body, crippling me. I try to shout for help but nothing but a small whisper manages to leave my lips. I hear a door being opened from the other side of the box room but I can’t turn to look as I fear the pain that might be the consequence of doing so. I let out another noise, this time slightly louder.

“Holy shit, you’re awake!” I hear a familiar voice exclaim.

I hear quick footsteps and Splinter’s face appears in front of mine. Wow, he’s lost some weight. I guess it’s normal nowadays though. I feel the bed I’m in moving and two walls appear, I must be in the corner of the room now.

“Okay babe, I’m gonna get you to sit up now.” Splinter smiles weakly.

I feel his warm hands on my arms and he gently pulls me up so my back is resting against the wall. I can’t even help him, I’m just too exhausted to even lift my pinky. I give him pleading eyes and he just responds with an I-know-I-bet-you-feel-like-hell shrug.

“So, I guess you want to know what happened then. Okay, well this red haired guy came running in here carrying a screaming and passed out you, demanding to see me. He tells me you asked to see me.” Splinter smiles fondly “Anyway, they gave me the long tale of what happened to you and after hearing about the bomb incident and you complaining about your head it kinda clued me in. You see that robot not only released deadly poisons but it seems that it spits out these little tracker thingies too-“I cut him off with a groan and use all my energy to lift my hand and do a drinking motion.

Splinter goes rushing off and soon returns with a glass of water. This time I really can’t do anything so I let him lift my head back and pour the water down my throat. It hurts every time I swallow but I gulp the water down, relishing the feeling of it in my dry mouth… I know what also felt good in my mouth. I blush, thinking of Poison. Ohh my god! I can’t believe I just thought that!

“Right, where was I…” Splinter trails off as he finds somewhere to put the cup down. “Ohh yeah, so it had these little tracker devices which finds a way into your body and basically tries to hack your brain and brainwash you. However I’m guessing it couldn’t do that with you so it just went to the next best thing, destroying you. To be honest you are one lucky girl, good job that was just a prototype and not the real deal or you would have been in BL/ind’s lair right now.” His face forms a weak smile again.

I look at him and give him more pleading eyes, not being able to speak sucks.

“What? What else could I tell you? Ummm… Ohh yes, you’ll feel a lot better probably by tomorrow and you might even be able to speak in a couple hours, BL/ind might have their high tech weapons but we have our super-awesome-amazing medicine.” he smiles and winks at me before leaving.

Ohh that’s nice of him, just leave me here all by myself, in this cold room, with nothing to do. Ugg this is so boring! I smile at myself, I sound just like a teenager right now. Seriously though, can’t he at least play some music or something? I’m far too uncomfortable to sleep in this position and I can’t exactly move.

I think back to what Splinter used to look like, he had a full head of thick, black hair. His mud-brown eyes matched his flawless skin and he was buff. Now though, his hair is in a Mohawk sort of style, his eyes look dull and his face is starting to age. I guess that’s what living in this world does to you now. I turn my head slightly to the door and see Missile Kid rush in.

“Are you alright? Do you need anything? Can I help you with anything?” she asks her face full of concern.

I sigh and give her and exasperated look, mustering up a small crackling noise.

“Sorry, what was that.” She cocks her head.

I sigh once again. Pain shoots through my head as I lift up my arms and raise it to my throat, pointing to it and shaking my head.

“Uhh… ohh wait, you can’t speak?”

I nod my head in response. God I feel like shit, I hope Splinter is right and I recover quickly because this pain hurts like hell.

“You now, it is pretty cool how the little chip that was in your brain couldn’t take control of you, I guess you’re just that badass.” Kid smiles and she looks so cute.

I can’t help but grin and give her wink. I guess it is kinda awesome to have friends that will call you badass. I smile again, wow I smile a lot now. These past days have been one hell of a journey and I have barely done anything.

“Emm, are you tired?”

As soon as she says that my eyes feel droopy, I nod the best I can. She uses some effort and manages to put me in a laying position. As soon as I’m lying down I fall asleep.
***Time Lapse***
I awake and panic immediately strikes me. Whose arm is that? A random arm is draped over me and I slowly turn to face the person. I sigh in relief to find it’s only Poison. I don’t know why but this feels really comfortable, we are lying on a thin mattress, on a metal bed in a metal room yet I feel totally at ease. Party’s eyes flicker open and a wide grin spreads across his face.

“Hey sugar.”

“Hey… wow I can speak again.” My eyes widening slightly after being able to recognise my own voice again.

“How you feeling?” Poison moves some hair from my eyes.

“A whole lot better, so what’s your excuse this time?” I smile and raise an eyebrow
“Huh?”

“You have your arm around my again while I was sleeping.” I smile slightly again.

“Ohh, you started shivering so I decided to share some warmth.” He looks into my eyes and I start to go into a daze.

“Alright you two, time to see if you can walk Chaos.” Splinter walks in and claps once which echoes around the room.

Poison tears his eyes from mine and shuffles off the bed. I groan as I turn over again and rest myself on my elbows. Party puts his hand out and I grab it letting him pull me forward into a sitting position. I shakily slid off the bed and I have to hold onto Poison for support. I take a few steps and the familiar pain hits me again but this times it’s not so strong. I let go of Poison and start to walk more confidently, the pain getting less and less with each step.

“Well Splinter, you certainly haven’t lost your touch with medicine.”

“Seems like it. I’m glad you asked to come here, It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.” He smiles

“Yeah, it’s good to see you again. There was rumour that BL/ind had captured you before I left.”

“They did but Dr. Death is a miracle worker and managed to get me out.”

I nod and start checking my clothing. Yep I have everything, including my mask.

“Well, thanks a lot Splinter but we have to get back now. You know, planning BL/ind’s shut down.” I start walking toward the door

“Hey maybe we could meet up some time. You know, like old times.” A small smirk spreads across his face.

“Ohh uhh, well I’m kinda busy now with the whole looking after a child while fighting against BL/ind so…” a trail off and blush slightly.

His eyes show hurt but he quickly brushes it off. To my surprise Party grabs my hand and gently pulls me out of the room and into an empty, but cluttered, store letting the door close behind us. He takes my face in his hands and tilts my head back. His soft lips latch onto mine and I melt into his touch. All too quickly he pulls away, leaving me wanting more. He takes my hand once more and we traverse our way through the mess. We reach outside and find the guys and Missile Kid waiting for use next to a beaten Trans-Am. They all smile at us warmly and I can’t help but smile back. Damn I haven’t felt this happy… well ever. Poison lets go of my hand and climbs in the front along with Fun Ghoul. Kobra Kid, Jet Star and I get in the back and Missile Kid sits on Jet Star’s knee. I feel the engine start up and the car quickly becomes hot as we drive through the sand.

“We’re being followed.” I say looking at Party.

Jet Star slides Missile Kid onto my lap and him and Kobra open the windows and lean out of them. I can hear their ray guns being fired and then a loud crash. Must have been the car crashing. They wiggle back in and Missile Kid goes back to Jet Star. Ugg this car journey is boring and I’m starting to sweat. I look out of the windscreen and I can see the diner not too far off. Thank god!
We reach the diner and everyone rushes out of the car. I start to walk off towards it when Poison grabs my hand and starts pulling me quickly. We get inside the diner and he throws me over his shoulder and rushes upstairs. He fumbles with the door handle before getting inside and closing it. He puts me down and stares at me. This is confusing to say the least. Party takes my face in his hand once again and kisses me, his soft lips pressing against mine and my mind starts going hazy.
