Chapter 41: A girls heartbreak.
Even though it has been a few weeks since the failed invasion, no sign of foot or gem activity has been made. It gave the young teens to act more their age like today...
"Hmm.." Leo hummed as he meditated then opened his eyes when he felt something off.
"Leah?" He turned his head and didn't see his daughter meditating next to him, which was strange to him. So he decided to get up and look for her.
"Leah?"
That's when he noticed the other brothers were looking for their daughters as well.
"Girls?"
That's when they realized the 'so called' guardians of their daughters, Nightshade and Casey were straight up passed out on the couch.
Raph picks both of them up, and bangs their heads together, waking them both up.
"Ow!! What was that for?!"
"You two were supposed to be responsible uncles!" He growled.
"What? It's not like we saw the girls sneak out like 15 or 20 minutes ago!" Nightshade exclaimed.
"Because they were meeting Remus and Tony at Coney Island!" Casey yelled.
"Coney Island?! Why there?!"
"Can you guys calm down? Coney Island is just where the kids hang out" April explained as she got Casey and Nightshade out of Raph's grip.
"Sure! First it's Coney Island, then it's tattoos and piercings and next thing we know, they're in a ditch!!"
April smacked the four of them with a rolled up newspaper, "Can you relax?! They saved the world a couple of weeks ago, let them act like teens for once"
"Red makes a point, plus, don't you trust their new friends?"
"Remus, we trust but it's Tony that bothers me! I can tell that he's hiding something" Donnie explained.
"Well, how do you know Remus also isn't hiding something?"
"Yeah, didn't Snakey say something about the terrifying resemblance between him and Splinter?"
"It wouldn't make sense, Father didn't have another woman in his life"
"But I think he either hid it really well or there's another rat mutant that was a deadbeat father and terrible boyfriend to his mom"
"Can we focus on the problem at hand?! The girls are out at Coney Island with two boys who are extremely suspicious!"
"Then go look for them since y'all are so worried about them!"
"You three are coming with us, good thing Coral is out getting groceries today"
"Fine"
Meanwhile at Coney Island
"So, what are we getting on first? Or did you all wanna split up?"
"Can someone go on the roller coaster with me?! Please!!" Sera put her hands together, begging basically.
"Come on dunce face"
"YES!!" She smiled and allowed after the hothead.
"I wanna play on those," Aubrey said and pointed at the bumper cars.
"I'll go with you" Tony smiled and followed her.
"So.. what do you wanna get on, Leah?"
"I would like to play simple games, you know? Like pop the balloons"
"Oh, okay! Let's go!"
The teenagers didn't seem to notice their fathers and their aunt and uncles following them but from a distance.
"See, it's just harmless fun at an amusement park"
Leo then noticed that Remus held Leah's arms as she threw darts at the balloons.
"You still say harmless fun?"
"Yeah, they're-!"
"Mus! I won!!!"
"Awesome!!"
Leah hugged Mus and smiled at each other.
"Aww, Leo, they're fine"
"Yeah, They're fine."
There was something that bothered Leo.... He didn't know what it was but it felt like it had been buried for a long time.
"Hmm.."
"Leo, are you okay?"
".. I'm fine"
"You sure, dude?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." He sighed and turned around, "I'm gonna take a walk"
A few hours passed as Aubrey was walking Tony home with Ray, they figured they had enough fun.
"Nerd, nerdette, what did you two do all day? Make out?"
Aubrey blushed darkly as Tony shook his head no, also as red as Aubrey.
"N-No! Of course not!"
"Ya sure? You're red, hiding any hickeys?"
"I'm not!!" Aubrey gently slapped her arms, repeatedly.
"Aww, stop!!"
"Well, here is my stop" Tony spoke softly and smiled at the two.
"See ya nerd"
"I'll see you girls later, I'm sorry you can't come in, my father is worried"
"What's he worried about?"
"The gems, his nightmares are getting worse, I'm lucky I even got to leave the house today to see you girls"
"That bad?"
"Oh, Tony, it is alright! We'll see you tomorrow" Aubrey smiled as he handed her a stuffed fox.
"I won this at Coney Island, for you"
"T-Thank you" Aubrey blushed then remembered what Parisians do to say hello, goodbye, and thank you. She leaned close to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Good job nerdette!" Ray said and smirked.
Tony blushed and smiled as he walked into the building, Aubrey looked at Ray, confused.
"What? That is what Parisians do to say thank you"
"So you didn't... that wasn't.. let's go nerdette" Ray says, pats her head and starts walking back to the lair.
As soon as they got back to the lair, they saw Leah and Sera throwing around an exercise ball like dodge ball.
"What are you two doing?"
"Playing ninja dodge ball, Dudettes!"
"Ninja dodge ball.. the f**k is that?"
"We use our ninja moves and contribute to regular dodge ball"
"Ooh, let me join!"
"Sure!" Leah smiled as Aubrey walked into her room.
"So, what did you and the chump do?"
"We play the mini carnival games, and rode on the twister"
"So basically dorky stuff"
"It wasn't dorky! It was fun!!"
"Two dorks hanging out together, did you two have fun?" Ray said with a smirk.
"Don't give me that smirk"
"Well, yes or no"
"Yes, we did have fun"
"Did y'all use protection?"
"Ew!!! Ray!!!"
"What~?" she said and started cackling.
"What's protection?"
"Nothing, Sera!"
"Okay!"
Aubrey was looking at her laptop when she got a message from when she hacked into the gems system.
"What the?"
She opened the message and gasped, "Girls! We have a problem!!"
"What's wrong?"
"The gems, they're planning on having a ship come through the portal, tonight!"
"Great."
"Well, how will we be able to track it?"
"I made a device but I won't be able to use it, Tony will have to"
"Ooh, going back to see your boyfriend already"
"He's not my boyfriend, Ray!! He's a boy who's a friend!"
"Sure"
"Ray, tease Aubrey later, we need to get going"
"Papa! We're going out, we'll see you later!"
"Okay, be safe!"
"We will!" Aubrey said and ran out the lair, catching up to the others.
Tony sat on the roof, waiting for the team to arrive.
"For the last time Sera, there's no such thing as a cottage cheese demon!"
"Yes there is!!! We kicked his butt, remember?"
"No we didn.. sure Sera, we did"
"Girls, what was so urgent that I had to get to the roof?"
"We need your help, with this" Aubrey showed him the tracker.
"We need you to track the gem ship that is coming tonight!"
"I don't know how to use this!"
"What about your father? Doesn't he study radar?"
"My father barely lets me out anymore, what makes you think he'll help us with this?"
"Tony, please! We really need your help!" Aubrey stared at him with pleading eyes.
".. fine, i'll try" he said.
"Yes! Thank you, Tony!"
"Now, how are we gonna stop the damn thing?"
"As soon as the tracking device alerts me, we can find it"
"Okay then"
"While we're here, let's patrol for a little bit," Leah said.
"I'm down, princess"
"Me too!"
"S-So am I"
"Good then we'll split into 2 teams, Sera and Aubrey will be a group and I will be with Ray"
"Yes! The B team is back together!"
"Please don't call us that"
"Why not?"
"Makes us sound... soft"
"Oh, okay! C'mon Aubrey!"
"Coming"
10 minutes later
"Are you gonna tell the others about Andrew?" Ray asked as she looked at Leah.
"I don't know what your talking about"
"Don't play stupid with me!"
".. I don't know yet"
"He's the enemy, not a friend!"
"He can be a friend.. perhaps more" she says with a light blush dusting across her cheeks.
"Oh no, I can't believe you are getting worked up about some... guy!"
"He's different! He's nice, fun!"
"Please"
"He wouldn't do anything to hurt me!"
"He's a guy!"
"Besides, it's not like we can win against him, he has no weakness! He's too strong..." Leah noticed the look on Ray's face.
"I think he's does, Princess" Ray took the flower out of Leah's hair, "I think he really does"
Leah stood over the side, realizing that their feelings for each other increased so badly that she was now his only weakness.
"Oh no.."
"There it is"
"What have I done?"
"Fell in love with the enemy"
"No... I can't do that to him"
"Do what exactly?"
"Fall in love, I'll only hurt the both of us"
"Mmm hmm"
"We should get back with the others, the ship has probably gone through by now"
"Whatever you say"
"Come on"
Meanwhile with Aubrey and Sera
"Sera... Do you believe in love?"
"Hmm.. yeah! Why dudette?"
"My parents were just in love, they were the couple of the world"
"Aww! That sounds so cute!"
"Do you think I can find love?"
"Of course you could!"
"Really? But I'm not you or Leah"
"So?"
"I'm ordinary! The only special part about me is the diamonds are hunting me"
"Can ordinary people fall in love too?"
"I think so"
"So, you can fall in love too!"
"Heh, maybe" Aubrey finally got the alert from the tracker, "It's here!"
"Yes! Now lets go kick some butt!"
"Mmm Hmm" Aubrey smiled as she followed Sera.
As the girls started walking to their meet up point, Leo decided it would be a good time to do some late night shopping.
"Alright, do you guys want anything else or no? Last chance"
"Just buy some frozen pizzas and we're good, bro!"
"I need more vodka"
"Your buying that yourself"
"You asked if we wanted anything else, I want more vodka"
"Fine, more vodka, anything else?"
"Just some new tools, Leo"
"Okay"
Leo checked his phone to see a text from Leah, saying that they were on a mission and that they would be home soon. He sent a quick 'okay' to her and left.
Leah looked at her phone and she smiled at the message from her father.
"Lele!"
"Yeah?"
"Help me"
"I'm coming! What is..." She looked up and saw the space ship, with the girls already inside.
"Hurry up!"
Leah put her phone away and jumped on the ship, barely making it.
Inside the ship, there were only three gems and the others. Or so they thought.
"Three little gems, this is easy!" Ray said.
"We can take them in our sleep!"
"We can take them in our sleep and with our eyes close!" Sera yelled.
They soon heard a door opening behind them.
Aubrey turned around and her ears went down in fear, "Um... Girls"
"Yeah nerdette?"
"I think we might've been a little to cocky"
"Why?"
"T-Turn around...."
They all turned around and saw a monster-like creature step out of the open door.
"Okay... Maybe we were a little bit cocky..."
"A bit?!"
"We can take this damn thing!"
".. right?"
One of the gems walked in front of them and fused with the monster-like creature.
"What the hell did they just do?!"
"I think... they fused" Aubrey held onto Ray's arm for comfort.
"So.. we can still take them.. Right?" Sera asked.
"Um... Yeah! Just stay together"
Meanwhile with Leo
"Okay, I got everything" Leo sensed something off in the aura.
"Leo? Need something else?" He heard April say over the phone.
"I don't think so..."
"Okay, i'll call you back tomorrow"
"Alright, talk to you later" He said, hung up his phone and started walking around.
"I'm just being paranoid, no one is here" He then saw a shadow climb up a building.
"Or.. I'm not" He put down his items, behind a dumpster and followed after the shadow.
He continued following the shadow until he saw it stop in front of a bank.
"What are you doing at the bank?"
"Heh, I should've known you would try to stop me" The shadow took off his mask, revealing Andrew.
"Andrew, what are you about to do?"
"Nothing that concerns you." He put his mask back on and pulled out his spear that had Coral's bow tie and a piece of Mikey's mask wrapped around it.
"Yeah, it does."
"You think you're a hero?! No... you are a coward that hides in the shadows, that sends his army out to finish battles, he could never finish!"
"What did me and my brothers ever do to you? Nothing. Not one thing."
"I lost my family! Everyone that ever meant a damn thing to me! Is killed because of... YOU!"
"What family are you talking about?! We've never crossed paths and we've never crossed paths with your family either!"
"Do these names sound familiar to you?! Aqualina... Angelina... Enji..." That's when Leo realized that two of the names sounded familiar.
".. Angelina I don't recognize"
"So you do know them."
"Know them, but didn't kill them."
"Liar! You would do anything to help yourself!"
"No! I swear, I never hurt your sister! We never hurt your sister!"
"You lie!!" Andrew attacked him.
"You don't get it!" Leo fought back.
"Don't get what?! That you're just a fake! A monster! I lost everything!"
"That Metal lied to you! Yeah, we knew your parents but we didn't know sh** about you or your sister! Why can't you believe that?"
"Because you lie! To those who surround you! And to Leah! She worships you like a God when you're just a coward who hides behind his armies."
"You don't know a damn thing about me or Leah. Stop acting like you do."
"Oh really? I know Leah sings so strong she breaks glass! I know she can't stand to watch romantic comedies because it makes her feel awkward! I know that she sleeps with her back turned to the door because she's afraid of being watched!" He panted and smirked.
"I know her more than you realize."
Leo got quiet for a moment. It shocked him by how much he knew her better than he did. It also scared him. In his shock, Andrew took it as an opportunity to pin him to the ground and almost stabbed him, when..
A tanto stopped the final but it wasn't Leo's, it was Leah. She had a look of disbelief as she looked at Andrew.
"Andrew.. why?"
"Leah... Don't take this personal-" She slapped him, leaving a red mark on his face.
"Don't take it personally?! How am I not supposed to take it personally?!"
"This is business! It's not my fault you're so stupid to realize that I'm bad news! I'm not a good guy! Like your little boy toy!"
"Because I wanted to give you a chance!"
"Please! What made you think I deserved a chance?!"
"WHEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU!" She screamed as a series of gasps came from her team who followed her, her father, and her uncles who came to the rescue.
".. you fell in love with me?"
"Yes... It took me a long time to come to terms with that because everytime I see us... I know no one will ever accept it"
It became silent. During that silent Leah closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, Andrew was gone... tears began falling from her face, it was the first time anyone had seen her cry.
"Leah"
She wiped her tears and turned around to her uncles and father's disappointed faces.
"I know but it's not like I wasn't warned, after all how can you stop a heartbreak and ever love someone who doesn't want your love..."
".. how about we go home?" Leo suggested.
She nodded and kept wiping her tears, she looked down, ashamed of herself.
