Alex's P.O.V

Raph got over his shock and bit his lip. "Your alive..." I nodded. "Yeah...I am." He tryed not to make his voice crack. I could tell he was ready to cry. "I-I thought you were gone for good."

I rubbed my neck. "Yeah...sorry. I stayed behind and made sure you both were safe." He nodded. "So, you got your memories back?" I nodded. "Yeah."

He smiled a little. "That's good." I smiled. "Mom?!" I looked over Raph's shoulder. Buck stood there, eyes red. "Hey, bud." I crouched down. "Your home!" He ran into my arms and hugged me tightly.

I rubbed his back as he cried into my shoulder. "It's ok Buck. I'm home." He pulled back and grinned. "I knew you would come home!" I smiled. "Where is your sister?" He shrugged. 

"I think she's in the dojo." I nodded. "I'll go speak with her." They nodded. "I walked to the dojo and opened the door. Lily was practising basic ninjitsu with a blindfold over her eyes. 

I smiled and watched. Sweat beaded her head. I pushed off the wall and went over to her. She sensed me and kicked, which I ducked and tripped her legs.

Lily sat up and pulled the cloth off from over her eyes. "No onw moves that fast-" She stopped and stared at me. "M-Mom?" I smiled and helped her up. 

"Yes. I'm home Lily." She grabbed my neck and hugged me. "I-I thought you were dead....dad said you left them....to go with out you.."

I nodded. "I know honey....but I got away." She smiled. "I knew you were tough!" I chuckled. "SO who taught you to fight with  out seeing? Even Leo can't teach you that." 

She nodded and smiled. "A friend." I nodded. "Who?" She put the blindfold in her pocket. "Um...Dad's old girlfriend." I raised an eyebrow. "Your father had an old girlfriend?" 

The small wolf girl nodded, her ears flattening back on her head. "Yeah....Her name is Skye." I nodded. "OK, I'll ask your dad about it." She nodded and then grinned. "Are you jealous?" I shook my head. "No of course not." 

She just shrugged. "OK, whatever you say. But I know you are." I rolled my eyes. I went to the kitchen where Mikey was playing cards with Ice cream kitty. "Hey, Mikey." He grinned. "Lexie?!" He jumped up and hugged me. 

I gasped. "M-Mikey...air.." He let go. "Sorry.." I chuckled. "It's alright." He grinned. "Your back." I nodded "Yup!"

I said hello to Donnie who welcomed me back warmly. I wen't to Leo's room and chuckled. "Alex!" Leo jumped up and hugged me. "Your finally back!" Jess stood and gaped. " Uh...Jess?" SHe slapped her face. I grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" She gulped. "Your real!" I laughed. "Yes, I am real." Leo laughed. "Don't you ever scare us like that again." I chuckled. "Auntie Alex!" Yoshi jumped on my back. I laughed. 

"Hey Leo Jr." He frowned. "My name is Yoshi. Not Leo Jr." I laughed. "I know. Your a lot like your dad." He grinned. "That's good!" He thought for a second. "Right?" We all laughed. "Yes it is." 

Jess told him. "As long as you don't fall for the enemy." I muttered under my breath. Leo jabbed my side. I winced. "Ow..." His eyes widened. "Sorry I forgot..." I shook my head. "It's OK, Leo."

I walked out and went to the room I used to call mine. It still looked the same without the dust on the desk. I chuckled. I walked around the room taking all I could of the life  I used to live.

I stopped at the closet. I opened the door and knelt down, running my finger over the words etched into the wood on the bottom frame. Alexis Rodgers. I smiled to myself.

I stood and sighed happily. It was so good to be home. 'I told you we would survive!' I groaned. "Not again..." The voice huffed. 'Yes, again. You think we'd leave you?' The angry one barked. 

"We are one and the same." The calm one stated plainly. "Well could you keep quiet?" THey started arguing. 'You want to keep us quiet?! We are you, and we will NEVER be quiet.' 'SHUT UP ANGER!' All the other emotions screamed at him. 

I grabbed my head, and whimpered. "Just be silent....p-please..." They all stopped yelling. I stood and groaned. I had a terrible headache. I decided to get some fresh air. 

 I walked out and went to Mericami's. I went in and sat down. "Ah, Alexis. You have returned!" I smiled. "Yes." He smiled. "Pizza gioza?" I grinned. "You know me too well."

He smiled and went to the back. I sighed and played with the dog tags around my neck. The door opened and closed. A girl with blond hair and a hood over her head sat next to me. 

I looked over at her. She sighed. "Ah...our city's hero has come for the nightly round of Pizza Gioza." She chuckled. "Hey, Mr. Mericami." he smiled and came out with two dishes of the food. 

"Have you met Alex, Skye?"  She shook her head. "Nice to meet you Alex." We shook hands. She pulled off her hood. I nodded. "You too..." 

Could this be the girl who was Raph's old girlfriend? I forced a small smile and ate. "So your the Dark Hunter?" She glanced at me. "Who told you that?" I had to laugh. "My daughter." She froze. "Lily is your daughter...?" 

I nodded. "She told me how you's teaching her to be a crime fighter. I'm impressed with what you taught her so far." Skye smiled a bit more. "Thanks." 

Then I ate my last piece. "So..Lily also tells me you were Raph's old girlfriend...." She nodded. "Yeah....we were child hood friends. Best friends. We did everything together....Then I left..Without telling him I was leaving or goodbye.." 

I looked at the ground. "That's harsh...on both of you." She nodded. I moved back last year and came back as the Night Hunter." I nodded. 

"So what were you before the Nigh Hunter?" I asked. "As a job?" She bit her lip. "I was 15...." I nodded. "But you had a job right?"

she chuckled nervously. "I was making money yes..." I raised an eyebrow. "How...?" She sighed and looked me in the eye. "Can you keep it a secret? Raph already knows but....Lily doesn't.."

I nodded. "Yes." She took a deep breath and rolled up her sleeve. I gasped as I saw the purple dragon tattoo curling up her bicep. 

"Y-You were a dragon..." She nodded. "Yeah...I was." I swallowed the lump in my throat. "So have you apologized to him?" She nodded.  "He's still a bit upset at me though..." 

I nodded. "He should be. You broke his heart." She nodded sadly. "Yeah...but if I did...he wouldn't have fell in love with you."

I had to agree. "That's true.." We talked a bit more before going our separate ways. I went back to the lair and to Raph's room. 

He lay there a sleep. I smiled and sat on the bed. I watched him breathing in and out. I smiled and lay down next to him. He opened one eye and smiled. "Hey." He murmured, pulling me close into his plastron. I chuckled softly.

"Hey, hot head." He smiled and tickled my side. I laughed. he stopped and kissed my head. "Night, Alex....and welcome home." He said before falling back asleep. 

I smiled and snuggled closer to him. "It's good to be home."
