Chapter 6: Re-bonding
Raph's P.O.V
I sighed. It had been 2 weeks since we joined Viper and I was tired. "This is worse then ninja training." I grumbled to Jack as we came back from an assignment. He chuckled. "I'm used to it."
I sighed. "Of course you are!" He smirked. "And you better not show it cuz here comes you know who." I straightened and smoothed back my hair.
"Hey Raph. Tired huh?" I shook my head. "Not at all Alex!" She smirked. "Good." She ruffled my hair and patted my back. I stumbled forward. "Looking good tough guy." I growled playfully at her.
"Stop it." She chuckled. "Soorryy." I laughed. She turned and walked off. "You might wanna go to the room and get some rest." I smiled. "We're both on the evil side and she is still looking out for me." I marvelled.
Jack chuckled. "Yeah." The next day went the same. I was in our room pouring sand from my shoe when the door opened. I looked you grinning. But that grin didn't last long.
"Alex?" I asked. She had a rip in her jacket and her lip was bleeding. She climbed to her top bunk and turned away. I climbed up and touched her shoulder. "Hey...you OK?"
She smacked my hand away. "Leave me alone." I sighed and sat on the top next to her. "No....We're....friends. Friends tell friends what's wrong."
She growled still not looking at me. "You don't want to know Raph." I touched her arm gently. "I do....please..." She turned and looked me in the eye.
"I had to do a training....thing. I had to prove I was still usful to Viper. I had to fight.....12 troopers at once..." I nodded, waiting for her to continue.
"He said I was weak...I had no strength....I was useless.." I touched her hand. "Your not useless!" She stared at me. I took my hand off hers and blushed. "S-sorry..." She chuckled sadly. "It's Ok.."
I sighed. "SO did you win?" She nodded. "But he's convinced I've gone soft." I jumped down. "I know how that feels." She sat up. "You do?" I nodded. "Hey, I have a question." She nodded. "OK." I leaned on the wall.
"Does the name Raph mean anything to you?" She thought. "No...not ringing a bell...why?" "How about Buck....or Lily." She flinched a little, and jumped down. "Well....it sounds familiar....but I have no idea...why?"
I pushed off the wall. "Because..." I cornered her in the wall. "They are the names.....of your kids." She laughed. "Your telling me I have kids? I have no memory of that Raph!"
I pushed on. "You do. You have a brother who loves you and-" She growled and pushed me into the wall. "No. Don't you EVER mention my brother again. He died long ago..."
I stared at her. "H-How can you remember Jack and not me?" She stepped back. "What do you mean? I just met you.." I shook my head. "No...Alex you didn't just meet me.."
She looked at me confused and a little weirded out. "OK....I'm gonna show you something...don't freak out. Please." She nodded. "O-OK."
I took a deep breath and twisted my watch. "I'm not what I look like.." She stared at me. "R-Raph.....Your a-a turtle?" I nodded. "Yes....and you knew that. You just...forgot."
Alex shook her head as if she was trying to believe she was seeing things. "Alex....please try and remember...I'm Raphael..." She looked up.
"No...I-I don't remember..." I nodded. "You were brainwashed Alex. Viper is not your family the XForce/ Resisters are!" She grabbed her head. "No stop....your lying!" I pulled her into my chest. "No...I'm not."
I pulled out my T-phone. I pulled up a picture of her and me with Lily and Buck. "Wh-who are they..?" I took her hand. "It's you, me and our kids." Alex instenly pulled away. "W-wait...our kids?"
I nodded. "Our kids...your my wife Alex...try and remember." Her eyes went straight to the ring on her finger. then to mine. "Y-Your telling the truth...." She whispered. I nodded. "Yes."
She sat on the bed, shocked. I twisted my watch to human just in case any one came in. "This is...just too much.." I nodded. "I understand." She hugged herself. "I was brainwashed you say?"
I nodded. "I think so." I called Jack and told him to come. Alex put her head in her hands and sobbed. "I always felt there was something missing.." She said quietly.
The door opened. "Hey..you called." Jack came in. Alex looked at him. "This is..." I smiled a little. "Jack...your brother." She smiled. "Jack...?" She hugged him.
"We need to find a way to restore her memory." I said holding her close. Jack nodded. "Yeah. Tony could get something running." I nodded.
Suddenly there was loud knocking on the door. "Open up...now!" I glared at Jack. "Did I mention we were figured out?" I stood and growled. "No you failed to tell me about that part, buddy!"
Alex stood and grinned. "If you promise to find a way to get us out of here and get my memory back, I'll help you." We nodded franticly.
She nodded. "OK." She went and took her knife from under her pillow and cut her arm. "WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" Jack and I screamed at once.
She threw the bloody knife into Jack's hand. "Giving you guys a chance." She sat on the floor and winked. Just then the door burst open. Troopers ran in grabbing Jack and I. "You call this a chance?!" I shouted.
I looked over at Alex, who lay there against the wall eyes closed, and her arm bleeding. A trooper went ver and checked her pulse. "She's alive." He confirmed. Alex groaned as if in pain.
A trooper picked her up. "We should get her to the med centre fast." The others nodded. "And take these two to the holding cell." We were dragged off and thrown into a dark jail cell.
"This is your fault." I growled at my brother in law. "It'snot my fault my handsome fce is famous, or that they decided to look us up."
I sighed and slumped down against the wall. "Alex better hurry up with this rescue." I muttered.
