*My POV*

We made it back to the apartment and we were all about to google stuff on April's computer when it began to glitch out. "Bam! You've been hacked! By Donatello. Remember me? Turtle. Four eyes. But enough about me. We told you we'd find you. Meet us here. And come alone. Or...or else, we're... you shall be punished and... stuff." Donnie said.

We decided to go the location they wanted us, which was the roof we met on. "Hello?" April asked as she's breathing heavily. We looked around. I wasn't wearing a jacket, but I had my wings tucked tightly into my back where their unseen.

"You told us to come here. We didn't bring anyone with us. We did exactly--" EC said before we gasped and turned to see Mikey behind us. "Okay! Are you April O'Neil, Erwina Chee, Isabella Marie and Kawai-Chan?" Mikey asked.

"Initiating retinal scan. Scanning, scanning, scanning, scanning. Scan complete. It's them. It's them. Guys, it's them!" Donnie said as she scanned us. "Of course it's them, Donnie." Leo suddenly said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I blushed, and I swear he did as well.

"Um...hi?" I said nervously. "Hey! Really glad you could make it. Hey. There's someone important we want to introduce you to, but first..." Leo said before bags were placed over our heads and we were picked up. "Wah!" EC, KC and I said as we were picked up.

"Aw, yeah, welcome to my crib, girl." Mikey said. "Where are we?" April asked panting. "Hey, it's our Fortress of Solitude." Donnie said. "Our Hogwarts." Mikey said. "Our Xavier Academy." Donnie said.

"Our next generation, state-of-the-art WonderDome!" Mikey said as we could see him twirling around through the bag. We sniffed. "Ugh. Are we in the sewer?" KC asked. "No..." Mikey said a little unsure, and that's when we knew we were.

"Technically, yes." Donnie said. "Yeah. Yeah, it's a sewer." Mikey said as they took the bags off our heads, and we looked around. "Wow." EC said as her, KC and I had smiles. We saw...Splinter in front of us.

"You brought us here, girls." He said softly. "Splinter?" We asked softly as we walked towards him. "How do they know his name?" Donnie asked confused. "Did you tell her his name?" Leo asked annoyed, but also wanted to tell me his name.

"Maybe their clairvoyant." Donnie whispered. "Maybe's their Jedi's!" Mikey whispered as he drank a soda. "Come closer." Splinter said and we slowly walked towards him. "It's been a long time. You always did have your fathers eyes." Splinter said and that's when we knew.

"We don't understand." KC said softly. "Don't be afraid. All will be made clear." Splinter said. "This is crazy." EC said softly. I let my wings fall a little.

*3rd POV*

A helicopter landed at a lab. Sacks walked into a room before standing in the middle of the room, waiting. "Why are you here? Student." Shredder said. "There's been a miracle. The vigilantes who've been causing us so much trouble? They're the test subjects. Those itty-bitty box turtles that we thought we lost in the fire. They're alive, Master Shredder. And they've grown into something powerful." Sacks explained softly.

"It won't be easy to capture them, but if we can, we can finally carry out the plan that we had all those years ago." Sacks said. "My Foot Clan will have unlimited power. And you will have your money." Shredder said.

"The city will be ours." Sacks said softly. "Find them." Shredder said. "O'Neil's daughter and her friends was the one who found them, and they will be the one who will take us right to them." Sacks said softly as Shredder walks around.

"There's the pin." One person said. "We've breached the cloaking security." Another person said as they showed Karai the location.

*My POV*

"Listen closely, girls. I don't remember a time before living in that laboratory. That fateful night started like any other." Splinter explains softly as the turtles sat down behind us. I could feel Leo put his hand on my leg, but I didn't stop him.

Raph did the same for KC, she giggled. "Sacks gave us our injections. Your fathers made sure our vital signs were strong. And you four, as always, provided us with a special treat. After the brothers went to sleep, I heard loud voices. There was the smell of smoke. Alarms sounded. Your fathers had discovered the truth behind the man they were working for. He set fire to the lab. Their last breath was taken trying to destroy Shredder's plan. I was terrified. But then, you four appeared." Splinter explained.

I remember the four of us rushing into the lab to save Splinter and the turtles. EC, KC and I smiled softly. "And ushered us to safety. I never had a voice then, but I thank you now, April, EC, Izzy and KC. Hmm. We wandered the sewers until I found this place. It was then that the mutagen that was injected into our blood began to change us in miraculous ways. I saw how your fathers loved you, and I knew I had to show the same love to the turtles. I became their father, and they became my sons. Like all children, they were drawn to the distractions of popular culture. And I knew one day they would want to explore the world above." Splinter said.

I leaned into Leo, and he held me close. "They would be ridiculed. They would need to learn to protect themselves, both mentally and physically." Splinter said. "Hey, does anyone want to play Buck-Buck?" Young Mikey asked. 

"Buck one!" Young Leo said. "Buck two!" Young Raph said. "Buck three!" Young Donnie said. But as soon as Mikey was about to go, Raph got up. "Where you going, Raph?" Young Donnie asked. "Come on. I can't do it by myself. I need all four." Young Mikey said.

"You're a Buck short." Young Donnie said. "Yeah, that sounds stupid. Like you, Mikey!" Young Raph said. "That's why you're just the hype man, brah. See these moves?" Young Mikey asked. "Yeah, whatever, man." Young Raph said. 

"And then I found a way. First, I would teach myself the ancient art of Ninjutsu. The brothers followed my lead, accelerating at a wondrous rate! Their gift was also their passion. They lived, breathed, and dreamed all things martial arts. Then, they were ready. Everything they are, and everything that they've become was made possible by the bravery that you four displayed on that fateful night." Splinter explained and we listened.

We glanced over at the turtles softly. "We were just little girls." I said softly. "And you gave us freedom, where others would have kept us in cages." Splinter said before Leo interrupted. "Wait a minute, Dad." Leo said as he squatted down next to me. 

"Hmm?" KC said confused. "All these years, you told us we were rescued from the fire by a great guardian spirits, the Hogo-sha's." Leo said softly to his father. "That's right. These four re the Hogo-sha's." Splinter said gesturing to us.

"What?" April asked confused. Leo stepped forward and bowed, Mikey and Donnie followed after him while Raph didn't bow, he just rolled his eyes. "My girlfriends are totally the Hogo-sha's." Mikey whispered which caused Leo to swat his arm. "Ow." Mikey whispered. KC and I giggled, not noticing Leo and Raph's blush.
