The next morning

"Ow.. my head"

Casey woke up in his apartment, on the couch with his shirt off covering himself with a blanket. That is when he felt another body next to him.

"What the?"

Coral poked her head out of the blanket, with her hair down but the moment she opened her eyes, her and Casey started screaming.

"Ooh, this has to be a nightmare!!"

"Novo watches over me! She would let nothing bad happen to me, maybe this is a misunderstanding!"

"Yeah! Cause there's no way in hell!! We'd be like this!"

"We agree on that much!"

As Coral and Casey were losing their sh**. Three other couples were about to have that same feeling.

Nymph woke up on Remus's chest and smiled, "Good morning"

"Mm.. good morning" Remus stirred and blinked at her.

Nymph leaned closer to his face and kissed him on the cheek, "We should get up"

"Noo, I'm too comfortable and my head hurts"

"Oh?"

"Yes.. what happened last night?"

"All I remember was drinking some punch then it was all a bliss"

"Exactly, we were drinking punch, then.. yeah, my mind went blank"

Nymph rubbed his chest as Remus smiled and held her close.

"We'll get up a little later, okay?"

"Okay, babe"

At the O'Neil's apartment

"Mm.. what was in that drink?"

April rubbed her head as Ryan was still sleeping, she slipped on a robe and checked on a sleeping Preston.

"Okay.. still asleep.. Lena!"

Lena fell out of her bed and walked into the hallway, "Yeah Ma?"

"Oh, alright, are you okay?"

"I'm fine! I'm gonna head out in a minute, I wanna annoy the others"

"Alright, have fun, and you better eat something!"

"I will!" Lena got dressed and climbed out the fire escape, she started running across rooftops and she spotted Phillip, "There you are..." He was making soup for the homeless with Angelina, "Huh"

"Let's hope we made this recipe right.. I'm sorry about last night"

"Babe, don't be sorry" Angelina poured some soup and smiled, "I liked it"

"You did?"

"Of course" Angie kissed his cheek, that is when they saw Lena walking over to them, "Lena!"

"Hey Lena!"

"Hey, what are y'all doing? Phil, I thought you and me were gonna patrol the city"

"Sh**, you're right! I'm sorry Angie"

"It's fine, I can handle this"

"No, Phil! You handle this, and tonight we meet up"

"Okay, wait, do you wanna join us, I have no idea where the others are"

"Sure, I'm hungry anyways" Lena grabbed a bowl and started eating the soup while Phillip was trying to stop her.

"Lena!"

At the Foot Clan Mansion

Light dragged herself into the kitchen, where she saw Karai instructing some ninjas to patrol the city.

"Your awake, good morning"

"Morning Mother, where is father?" Light said as she poured some coffee.

"Your dad's still in bed, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, why?"

"You're drained, more than normal an.." Karai started, then saw a few things and smirked. "What happened to your neck?"

Light spit out her coffee as she covered her neck, "Nothing!" She turned bright red.

"Oh ho! Something happened last night~!"

"Shh!! If Father finds out he'll kill me!"

"He'd kill your boyfriend first then you, go hide them!"

"Good point!" Light ran back into her room, causing Karai to shake her head.

"This girl"

"Wake up!! Wake up!"

Light was shaking Hayden who was still asleep so she picked him up and hid him in her closet.

"Ack, what's wrong?"

"My dad is gonna kill me! Stay quiet"

".. Okay"

At the lair

Coral snuck back into the lair, realizing how filthy it was. She then tried to sneak into her room only for Leo and Donnie to spot her.

"Hey Coral, I didn't hear you leave"

"Dah!! I did not want to wake you up, sir" Coral lied, trying to get back into her room.

"You okay?"

"I'm quite fine"

"Okay, we'll let you rest"

Coral sighed in relief but Donnie noticed a bite mark on the back of her neck.

"Huh"

"What is it, Donnie?"

"Coral.. had a bite mark on the back of her neck"

"What?!"

"Shh!!"

"What are you two shouting about?" Zoey mumbled as she walked out of her room.

"Um.."

Coral realized that they saw the bite mark, "Oh no!"

"You okay Coral?"

"... I will never drink again!" Coral started sobbing as Zoey tried comforting her, "Oh, why me?! Why?!"

"Coral, what happened?"

"I did the most disgusting... The most despicable, the most heinous, the most disturbing thing I ever done in my life"

"Please, it can't be that b-!"

"I slept with Casey." Coral blurted out that she didn't notice that the other adults walked into the lair, plus the teenagers overheard them.

"You what?!"

Coral groaned as she fell backwards on the couch onto Haley's and Lovey's lap.

"You.. and Casey?"

"Don't rub it in... I don't even know what happened!"

"Your not the only one that had a night"

"Shut up, you didn't spend the night with bite marks and regret!! Oh stars!" Coral rolled off the bed as a blanket fell on top of her.

"Okay, who the hell decided it was a fun idea to spike the punch?"

Haley looked at all of them, "It was an accident! Mondo bumped into me and I dropped my drink into the punch, I tried to tell y'all!"

"Ah"

"Besides, I thought gems couldn't get drunk!"

"Well! Here's an example of a gem that can! Ugh!!"

"Coral, listen I have never known you to just sleep around now if you and Casey really don't feel the same about each other then you two wouldn't have spent the night together"

"But we were drunk, and we hate each other! Plus doesn't he have the.."

"The what?" Lovey and Haley grinned as they leaned closer.

"The "hots" for a school teacher?"

"Oh, Yeah he does" April said, she walked over and ruffled Coral's hair, "But it wouldn't hurt to see"

"Yes it would"

"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?"

"Raph! Not the time!"

"I'm just saying!"

"Shut up!!"

A few hours later

"Casey Jones!!" Coral shouted, stomping into the apartment.

"Dah!! Yes?!" Casey sighed then saw her. "What are you doing here? I thought you were disgusted"

"I want to have a strong conversation about last night and I will not take no for an answer!"

"Um.. okay?"

"Will you have dinner with me this evening." Coral growled as she looked up at him.

"Fine, 7."

"Don't you dare be late!" Coral slammed his hockey puck on the table and stormed out of the apartment.

"Geez"

Meanwhile, Lena and Phillip were walking around the city.

"Come on, Phil!! Let's go faster!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!"

Lena ran across the rooftops and stared at the city, "Crazy..."

"Which part?"

"Everything, the others saved New York but we were just sitting around like idiots!!" Lena punched a whole through a roof.

"Lena-!"

"We should've been in that fight alongside them!"

"Well, yeah but-!"

"Tell me you're not mad!"

"I'm mad, I just have other sh** that happened"

"Oh damn, what's wrong?"

".. mama got a phone call from him"

"You're dad? Shouldn't he be at the bottom of the east river."

"That's what I thought but no! He called her and guess what, his plane comes in tomorrow morning."

"Oh damn, is it too late to move in with Leah and Aubrey?"

"I'm not moving out, I need to stay at the apartment, and Denny.. he was called a mistake the moment he was born, i think it's better if I was at home"

"Want me to go with you?"

"Don't, I'll be okay"

"Okay" Lena saw some purple dragons sneaking into a bank, "I know something that will lighten your mood!"

"Oh really?" Phillip asked in confusion then saw the purple dragons and smiled. "Maybe a little"

Lena and Phillip put on their masks and snuck into the bank.

"Who knew getting money from the bank would be this easy!"

"Oh, the night is just beginning." Lena grinned evilly from behind her mask, as the three purple dragons froze as Phillip and Lena pulled out their baseball bat and pipe.

"It's the crazy vigilantes!"

"Actually we prefer the last faces, you'll see before you wake up in the hospital." Phillip hit a baseball into one of their faces, knocking them out cold.

Lena hit the other two with her pipe, knocking them out cold. Then there was a shadow behind them.

"Look at this, Prince~ Looks like we got a new punching bag!"

"Ooh, who's the newbie?"

"I'm not a newbie, I'm the new leader."

A woman with short black hair, black eyes, pale skin, in a black suit walked into the light, she had a scar over her lips as it was painted with red lipstick.

"The name is Emiko. You might know my brother, Hun." Emiko grinned evilly, as Lena looked at her up and down.

"Meh, I prefer scum and dirtball"

"We have faced WAY scarier women than you."

"Bet."

Emiko caught a baseball that Phillip threw at her, she then kicked the two of them so hard that they flew into the wall behind them, she then threw the baseball between Phillip's legs and threw a ball of cash into Lena's chest.

"Maybe next time you'll win. Vigilantes." Emiko grinned as police sirens were heard.

Emiko gestured that the other purple dragons run out as she walked out, taunting the two teenagers as Police entered the bank.

Back at the lair

"Finally done with cleaning"

The teenagers sat down on the couch with their parents, Leah started braiding Remus's hair, thinking about a certain boy.

"Lele?"

"Huh? Sorry" Leah sighed as Captain Ryan nuzzled her cheek, comforting her, "I'm just thinking"

"Andrew?"

"Maybe, you girls wouldn't get it, especially you, Ray! Last time I checked, you hate men"

"I don't hate them, I tolerate them, there's a difference" Ray huffed, "Besides at least I don't get worked up over some dumb boy!"

"Play nice, I do not wanna stop you two from attempting murder.. again"

"I am playing nice, pops! But I'm being honest, Leah.... You repeat this at school, I'll deny it. But you are an amazing girl, your the daughter of the leader of a great ninja clan, and of a princess, your the only heir for this empire and the last thing you gotta worry about is Andrew. He needs time or something, I don't know"

"Wow Ray.. you actually give good advice sometimes"

"Don't rub it in, extras. If Lena finds out, there goes my street cred" Ray chuckled as her and Leah fist bumped.

"Sure, now lunch is done! Come eat, children!"

Zoey passed out some bowls but everyone heard Ryan and April yelling at Lena.

"I didn't break into the bank!"

"Then explain why we had to come get you from the police station!"

"It was the purple dragons, me and Phil went there to stop them! I swear Ma!"

"Ooh! If and when they pull the security camera footage, it better check out"

"Ugh!" Lena stomped her feet then spotted everyone staring at her, she saw the hamato gems sitting around, "What the hell are you guys doing?!"

"It's called taking a break and not dying of starvation"

"When will you cool off with the dark humor?"

"Forget about that! What about the city?! You guys are supposed to be protecting it!!" Lena got up in Leah's face, "You are supposed to be heroes!!"

"Well we just saved the city from the invasion and we thought we deserved a break! Now, what happened with the Purple Dragons!"

"Oh! Me and Phillip were on patrol, we saw the purple dragons breaking into a bank! We figured it would be easy, they're just scum but NOO!! They got a new leader! Some girl named Emiko, with luscious red lips who punched me in the f-!"

"You found her attractive?"

"No I didn't!! Shut up Mus!"

"Sounds like you did, but whatever! How bad did you guys leave them bruised? Always works for us"

"Um.. we stopped them from stealing the cash?"

"So.. you two didn't leave them bloody and bruised?"

Lena looked down, indicating that they didn't. Slowly, the group of teenagers minus Aubrey started dying of laughter.

"I can't believe it!! Aubrey, was stuck in a trance by the purple dragons but you and Phillip got a$$es hand from a girl with a fat a$$!!" Ray cackled, as Aubrey was trying to get her to stop.

"Ugh!! If you all don't wanna help, fine! We can protect the city ourselves!"

"Good luck with that, let's hope that there is no girl with luscious red lips!" Remus cackled as Zoey smacked him upside the head. "Hey!"

"Don't hey me"

"Grandmother, it was funny!" Leah said, as she was out of breath.

"Hmm.. okay, I'll admit, it was a little funny"

"But the ending was out of hand, Ray, you know better than to make fun of Lena for that."

"Same goes for you, Remus, or shall I remind you of how you kept telling me the girls were teasing you about someone similar."

"But I didn't get myself arrested and I was still able to defeat the Purple Dragons!"

"Remus Leslie."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry"

"I-It is too late, Lena left while Grandmama was interrogating you" Aubrey hid in her sweater as everyone looked at the entrance to the lair.

"No wonder Splinter fell in love with you Zoey, you two are disturbingly similar"

"And that is a scary sight to see"

"What makes them similar?"

"Later Mus, just finish eating and go find Lena to apologize, we'll talk later"

"No we won't."

Back with Lena

"Those jerks!!"

Lena growled as she kicked a hole into the roof, not realizing Phillip behind her.

"Phil.. oh geez"

"Yeah, how did your parents take it?"

"Better, who did all of that?! I know your mom was upset or piss.. he's there?!"

"Lena, it's nothing-!" Lena grabbed his face, as it was covered in bruises and his lip was split, "Okay, ow!"

"This is more than nothing Phillip! You saw me half dead in a f**king hospital bed!! You're on your way to that if you don't talk to someone!"

"And what am I gonna say?! That I'm not man enough to handle my father?! What would Angie think! What would you think!"

"It's more than what we would think and you know it."

"I'm the older brother, I can handle this."

"No, you can't!"

"You wouldn't know how this feels!"

"Your definitely say that sh** to the wrong person!"

"Says the lady who runs from everything! At least I can settle down!"

"Oh, you're really about to drag that into the conversation?! It's not about that!"

As the twisted siblings argue, everyone else was watching something blow up

"What do you mean, no we won't?"

"I'm tired of you all dodging my question."

"We don't dodge your questions!"

"Yeah, until I bring up wanting to know more about my dad, that's when you all start coming up with stupid excuses!"

"Mus, please this isn't the time-!" Leah tried to calm him down but he pushed her hand away.

"All I wanna know is why do you all keep dodging it, it can't be that bad"

"You really wanna know...?"

"Yes! What is so horrible about it that-!"

"Fine. Splinter was a great father, strict but fair, he had a big heart."

"I've heard that much already"

"That's as much as we can tell you."

"That's a lie, Your father was more than that... He fought till the end, he pushed us all to be the best versions we could be... Until he died..."

"Then why were you all so afraid of telling me that?"

"Remus, chill ou-!"

"BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO REMEMBER IT!!" Mikey shouted, tearing up, "We watched... As Shredder stabbed him in the stomach... then threw him over a roof..."

"And.. we kept checking, thinking.. this couldn't be real, he's not.. he stopped moving, he stopped breathing.. and there was so much blood.."

"We hoped that Shady could heal him but she couldn't... Donnie got on his knees and begged her even though she kept saying she couldn't"

".. and then we had to tell Karai.. that was the first time we've seen her cry"

"When we got vengeance... It felt good but it didn't heal us..."

"So, every single time you started asking us about him.. we all flashbacked to watching him die.. we couldn't tell you anything else, even if we could"

"... I know, I suck." Remus mumbled to himself and walked out of the lair.

"Mus.. mom, are you okay?"

"I... Didn't know you kids felt like that about your dad but.... Talk to your brother"

"We will, we will"

Back with Lena and Phillip

Phillip and Lena were walking and talking across rooftops until they saw Metal and her ninjas on motorcycles.

"Hold on, is that.."

"Metal? No mames guey!" Phillip exclaimed, as he and Lena started following after them.

"Where are they even going?"

"Let's follow them and find out!"

"Alright, alright"

The two followed them to an Italian Restaurant and decided to disguise themselves as waiters and sneak in.

As they snuck in they saw Metal and her ninjas standing in front of a long table. On the other side of that table was a man eating half of his weight in spaghetti.

"Don Viziso, The man who tried to eat my father's heart." Metal stared at him with Anton by her side, admiring her.

"Your Shredder's daughter? I only tried to eat it to get his power!"

"And now you owe the foot clan. I.. Can forget that mistake, if you do something for me."

"Well, take a seat, we'll have plenty to discuss"

Metal sat down, she took off her helmet and placed it on the table.

"I'm having a problem with... One of my best soldiers."

"Okay, what do ya want me to do?"

"Do you have any chemicals that can help me persuade him more?" Metal stared at him and Don knew what persuade means to the foot clan.

"Well, there's something that's been in the works"

"I need it and in return I will give... you 15% of our next shipment of weapons"

"Hmm.. you may hav-!" Don Viziso started, then Metal grabbed Lena, pushed her onto the table and held one of her blades in front of her neck.

"Who sent you, spy."

"Hey, let her go! We're just waiters!" Phillip shouted, Metal stared into Lena's eyes and she saw her child self in her eyes.

"Hmm.. very well, but do not let me see either of your faces again." Metal spat then let go of Lena.

Lena and Phillip ran out of the restaurant, out of breath and laughing.

"Oh that was close!!"

"But so cool!!"

"We gotta tell Ray!!" Lena pulled out her phone, took a picture of her and Phillip then sent it to Ray.

"Oh god, look what Lena sent me"

"What is it-!" Ray showed the others a photo of Lena and Phillip with the caption: Girl, we almost died!!

"Oh god"

"I'll go get them" Ray put on her jacket and started walking out.

"Want us to come with you?"

"Nah, it's nothing major"

"Okay"

Ray walked out of the lair as Remus was walking back in.

"Chump, wait"

"What is it, Ray-!"

"Are you sure you're fine?"

"I'm fine, it's nothing serious"

"Chump"

"... I feel like a burden on them"

"I.. why? You're a good kid and a dork"

"Ray"

"Dork"

"I'm being serious!"

"So am I! Look, as you can tell, I'm not good at this inspirational crap"

"I can tell"

"But, you're not a burden.... You are actually the best thing that has happened us in a long time"

".. oh"

"I promise, just hear them out"

"I'll try, wait, where are you going?"

"Gonna go corral some idiots." Ray grumbled as she walked out of the lair.

"Oh god"

Remus walked into the lair, only to be tackled by his siblings into a hug.

"Ack!! What is with y'all and trying to suffocate meh!"

"We're so sorry!!" Mikey sobbed as Remus patted his shell.

"It's fine! I should be the one saying sorry because I was being a a$$hole"

"Remus, we should've explained instead of ignoring it"

"But y'all carry too much trauma"

"No sh** but we can't take it out on you"

"Aww"

"But.. I do have a story about your parents"

"Really? How?"

"Yeah, it's an interesting one!"

"Honey, how did.. tell us!" Raph asked, looking at Haley in shock and confusion.

"Look, I knew your daddy was seeing someone... Mostly because I would come into the lair early to bother Raph and I saw Splinter sneaking in, like a frat boy coming from his side chick's house"

"Wow"

"He also had a different scent on him, he smelled like caramel and peppermint, it wasn't until I noticed that your mom smelled the same when I first met her"

"Besides that, how did you find out he was dating mom?"

"I grabbed his phone, thinking it was mine and I sorta... accidentally... saw a picture of your mother, with no clothes" Haley bit her bottom lip as everyone looked at Zoey who turned bright red, shakingly drinking her tea.

".. he um.. he wanted to come see me one night, but I was dead tired from work so I just said what the hell, nobody else could see that but him.."

"In my opinion, It was a good picture just to change the angle a bit!" Haley said, giving her advice not like she wanted to hear it.

"Not like I'll be using that advice again"

"You never know, look you wanna see m-!" Haley tried to pull out her phone but Lovey put her phone away.

"No! No, No, No"

"Wow"

"What~?" Haley snickered as she tried to pull her phone out but everyone screamed at her, telling her to put it away.

Meanwhile with Ray, Lena and Phillip

Lena and Phillip were at the docks, spying on Stockman and Anton who were taking a briefcase out of the container.

"What could be in the briefcase?"

"A bomb?"

"If it was a bomb, it would've exploded due to our phones being on by now"

"Do I even wanna know why you know so much about bombs?"

"I watch too many crime shows when we aren't being vigilantes and.. probably not"

"We can't wait for Ray, let's move in!"

"Done!"

"Hurry up, Stinkman." Anton growled as he leaned against the container.

"It's heavy! You get it!"

"I am in charge. So I command you to carry it!"

"Well, what if I can't carry it! Look at me!"

"Oh, you love talking back, old man." Anton got into his face as Stockman shrunk down.

That's when Lena and Phillip snuck up behind them and attacked them.

Anton grabbed Phillip's bat, "Who are you, boy."

"Nunya!"

"Nunya?" Anton looked at him confused as Phillip started laughing.

"None of your business!"

"Oh you little!" Anton threw him into the wall as Lena was on Stockman's back, pulling his hair.

"Let go of me, you little brat!!"

"Try me, nerd!!" Lena pulled out some of his hair as Baxter threw her into the wall right next to Phillip.

"Did you really think you two could beat us?! We're gonna enjoy taking you two apart, piece by piece." Anton growled as he walked closer to them, then got a container dropped on him.

"Am I late to the party?" Ray said as she jumped in front of Baxter and growled at him.

"Hey! Don't kill me foxy!"

"Oh... You are going to regret what you said to my mother." Ray walked towards him, pulling her claws as Baxter started running away.

"I'm going! I'm going!!"

Ray retracted her claws and stared at Phillip and Lena, "What the hell are you two doing?!"

"Stopping those two punks from stealing this briefcase!"

"You two shouldn't be pulling this sh** in the first place, Phillip, how the hell did you get yourself beat up by these low lives?!"

"Actually, they didn-!" Lena was about to explain but he covered her mouth.

"I was distracted for a second!! Just take the case back to Aubrey"

"And where the hell are you two going?!"

"Finding out what Metal is planning!!"

"Not without us! You two can't even take on Metal! You two are gonna die, why would you two even wanna attempt tha-!"

"WE GET IT! WE'RE HUMAN! NOT MUTANTS BUT WE ARE STILL CAPABLE OF FIGHTING ON OUR OWN! WE WERE FIGHTING BEFORE WE MET YOU AND WE'LL KEEP FIGHTING NOW!" The two shouted at Ray, then ran off.

"Wait, Phillip! Lena!"

"Phillip, the hell was that?! We could've told her!"

"I don't want her to know, or anyone in that family to know!"

"Why not?! They could help you and Denny!"

"Look at them and look at us!"

"You are gonna have to spell it out because I don't get it!"

"They are a perfect family... I don't wanna bug them with my family problems"

"Phillip, I won't have a perfect family if you're beat up so badly that I have to or your mom and Denny or, hell! Angie! If we have to see you get carried out of your apartment in a damn body bag PHILLIP!!"

"Lena-!"

"If you don't tell them! I will."

"Okay! Let's just figure out what Metal is up too"

"Fine"

At the foot clan mansion

Metal was sitting on her throne, she was staring at a photo of her and Shredder.

"Mistress, the Purple Dragons are here"

"Send them in..." Metal said, as she put the photo away as Emiko and the purple dragons walked inside.

"Lady Metal" Emiko started and bowed towards her, "We have found more of the chemicals you've been seeking" she said, snapping her fingers as two of the henchmen brought a similar briefcase in front of her.

"Thank you, Emiko. You're brother would be proud" Metal gestured that Baxter look at the chemicals, which he did.

"These are perfect! I just don't have the right materials to use them"

"Then find them! You idiot." Metal growled as she slammed her hands on her thrones.

"You could take over the factory that's on our turf, may we show you?"

"Of course, and in return... I'll help your brother, Hun, with his little... Parole Hearing"

"Perfect~"

Lena and Phillip were listening to them from the roof, the two looked at each other and gave each other a nod.

A few minutes later

Emiko was walking through the hallways of the factory as she gave Metal the tour.

"The factory has everything you need Lady Metal, from mixing vats, bottling facilities, you name it"

"I am quite impressed, Emiko. Success is to be rewarded... Failure is to be punished." Metal snarled as she stared at Anton.

Then Anton started sniffing the air, not expecting an explosive baseball to get thrown at him.

"Mistress!! Ambush!!" Anton dipped Metal to block her from the explosion.

"What?! Get off!"

Emiko growled as she saw Phillip and Lena standing in front of them.

"You two?!"

"I thought I told you that I never wanted to see your faces." Metal growled as she stood next to Emiko.

"Nice try, it takes more than that to get rid of us."

"So I see."

"Aww, hello little girl~" Emiko said, she looked at Lena up and down.

"Me?"

"Who else~?"

"I-I dunno, you tell me!"

"Told you, she was smitten by her!" They heard Remus shout.

"Oh my god"

The Hamato gems jumped down and stared at Metal, Anton, and Emiko.

"We will make your ends swift, children."

"So will we."

Ray, Leah and Remus started attacking Metal, with Sera, Aubrey and Phillip attacking Anton and some footbots.

Lena looked around then she saw Emiko standing right behind her.

"Hey little girl, wanna have a rematch~?"

"Oh, whatever!" Lena rolled her eyes and tried to hit her with her pipe but Emiko grabbed it and licked it.

"Wanna make a little wager~?"

"Oh? What kind?"

"You win, I'll take you out on a little.. excursion, but if I win, you give me.. 100 bucks"

"Deal" Lena grinned as the two girls fought each other.

Aubrey was thrown into a random closet and she saw a bunch of chemicals.

"What the... These must be the chemicals in that popcorn Sera bought!" She mumbled to herself then heard Anton behind her.

"Talking to yourself like a little freak."

Aubrey threw a smoke bomb and snuck past him, trying to drop the chemicals in the chemical vat.

She dropped it but was hit towards a pipe, causing a domino effect of noises until it landed in Sera's hand.

"Huh?" Sera looked at the chemical in confusion.

"Phew" Aubrey mumbled, until she saw Sera throw it at Anton. "No!"

Said chemical fell for a bit until it fell near Lena.

"What the?" Lena picked it up and looked at it until she heard Aubrey yelling at her.

"Lena! Get the chemical into the mixing vat!"

"You got it, Curly!" Lena tried to run but Emiko was blocking her, "Oh come on!"

"Try again sweet cheeks"

"Ugh! Look I'm afraid of commitment so back away!"

"I could help you"

"No, I don't want your handouts!" Lena ran past her and this pissed Emiko off.

"You know... I was gonna be promoted if you didn't show up!"

"And my heart cries for you!"

"Oh, you little..." Emiko chased after her but Lena flipped her into the chemical vat and dumped the chemical.

As the chemical fell into the chemical vat, the vat began to bubble and soon exploded.

"What was that, Aubrey?!"

"The chemicals in Sera's popcorn!!"

"And... That means?"

"Let's leave!!"

Back at the lair

Everyone was in the living room, talking, waiting for Phillip and Denny to show up.

"Where are those two?"

"I'll call them" Angelina pulled out her phone when she got a phone call from Phillip's number, so she answered, "Hello Phil-!"

"Aunty!! Daddy's hurting mommy! Daddy's hurting big bro! I'm scared.."

"What?! Denny put the phone on the floor and put it on speaker, then run to the closet and hide!"

"O-Okay" They could hear Denny sniffling as he dropped the phone on the ground and ran away.

Angelina started running out of the lair, with everyone chasing after her, she closed her eyes as she heard screaming.

"Get away from our mother!!"

Phillip's father growled and covered Phillip's mouth, slowly suffocating him. As Phillip closed his eyes, he thought about Angie until the door swung open and Angelina jumped onto his back and dug her claws into his neck.

"Who the hell?! Get off me you b***h!!"

Angelina growled as she wrapped her tail around his neck, choking him and tossing him at the wall, she ran over to Phillip and picked him up.

"A.. Angie?"

"I'm here, I'm here"

"I know.. mom, mama, where" Phillip quickly got out of Angelina's grip and saw his mother, laying on the kitchen floor, bleeding out. "No.. no, no.. mom!"

Angelina picked up her phone and called 9-1-1 as she started putting pressure on the wound.

"Big bro? Aunty?"

"Denny, do not come out here"

At the hospital

"Okay, what happened?" April asked, looking at the teenagers.

"Tell them, Phil" Lena looked at the hospital bed Phillip was in.

".. my dad remembered he had children so he came back to "see us", until he had to come get me from the police station"

"Go on"

"He then took me to an alleyway, punched me in the face a few times then kicked me into a building and drove back to the apartment.. I met up with Lena, everything else happened then I go home and he and mama were already getting into something, I tried to break it up then he grabbed a sharp knife and started hitting me and her with the back of it"

"Phillip..." Angelina held his hand, "Why didn't you tell us... Or better yet why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I thought I could handle it.. you all are like the freaking perfect family, I can't bother any of you with my problems.. I think that's when Denny called you.. and I guess when you all were running over.. you heard my mama screaming in Spanish at him to get off me.. that's when he stabbed her.."

"Phillip, we are beyond perfect! Look at us!" Leah pointed at everyone, "We are a family of fire starter, poison eaters, and online prostitutes!"

"Phil... There is no such thing as a perfect family"

"There's only families that don't have trauma.. Yet"

"Ray, not helping! Phillip" Aubrey sat down on the bed, "You're not the only one with family secrets, My aunt tried to gain custody of me when I was 5, she even tried to take me by force... No one understood why I didn't like it when Aunt April tried to hug me"

"Geez"

Aubrey looked up at him and smiled, "See, we all have family secrets but if we open up about them... We won't feel less lonely"

"Heh.. that's true" Phillip chuckled quietly then everyone heard a knock at the door.

Lena opened the door and it was his mom in a wheelchair, smiling at him.

"Mama!"

"Hola mi hijo" She smiled and walked over to him, "Where's Denny?"

"Mrs. Hamato took him to draw and get a snack from the vending machine.. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay.. The police came and took him out of the apartment"

"That's good... I'm sorry, I should've gotten him out of our lives a long time ago!"

"It's okay.. It's okay, we'll be okay"
