"Listen closely (Y/N),April...I don't remember a time before living in that laboratory.That fateful night started like any other....Sacks gave us our injection while you,(Y/N),mistakenly took a lick of it thinking it was jello..."

"I wasn't the smartest kid,alright..."

"April..your father made sure our vital signs were strong.And you girls,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.April's father had discovered the truth behind the man he was working for.He set fire to the lab.His last breath was taken trying to destroy Shredders plan.I was terrified.But then...you girls appeared.And ushered us to safety.I never had a voice then,but I thank you now,(Y/N),April..."He stops at the brief moment,I look at my hands,clenching them together

"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 April's father loved you guys dearly,treated (Y/N) like it was his own child.And I knew I had to show that same love to the turtles.I became their father and they became my sons.Like all children,they were drawn to the distraction of popular culture,they would one day want to explore the world above...They would be ridiculed.They would need to learn to protect themselves,both mentally and physically.."

"Your doing a great job at it.."I whisper complimenting him while Splinter just chuckles faintly

"Then I found a way...First,I would teach myself the ancient art of Ninjutsu.The brother followed my lead,accelerating at the 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 girls displayed on that fateful night."He finishes,while I glance at the brothers causing April to sigh

"But we were just little girls.."

"And you gave us freedom,where others would have kept us in cages."Splinter explains,causing Leo to step forward

"Wait a minute,Dad..All these years you told us we were rescued from the fire by a great guardian spirit,the Hogo-sha.."Leo explains kneeling down

"That's right,and these are the Hogo-shas.."

"What?"We both say in a sync,before looking back at them.All turtles just bow down,while I smile a bit

"Dude..My girlfriend totally the Hogo-sha.."I hear Mikey whisper out,Leo just nudges him.Causing me to cross my arms giggling a bit.I turn back to Splinter,giving him a thumbs up

"Now..has the mutagen worked on you?"Splinter ask while I shrug

"I don't know..I know in that day,I could lift a car up so..."

"It effected her with her strength and immune system increased majorly..Also she can do this green thing which scares me most of the time due to it causing her to..lose energy when we first tried it out."April explains while I sigh

"I can handle it.."

"No you can't.."April turns back to Splinter before sighing once more

"Why did you bring us here?"April ask

"To find out who you told of our existence.."Splinter ask,my eyes widen while I shrug April

"This is all on you April.."

"Your the one who got the card!"She pushes me slightly,while I roll my eyes

"Well...?"

"Nobody that believed me,except for Eric Sacks."April answers,Splinter eyes widen,slowly standing up

"Sacks..just as I feared..Sacks is not a friend.His soul has been poisoned by the influence of a dark master.The Shredder..."

"I was a powerless and helpless boy.Until a local Sensei took me under his wing.And he saved me"Was all that repeated on my head

"Shredder practically raised Sacks in Japan.Hes like a father to him.Sacks will do anything for his master."I turn to April looking like she was about to cry.I give her a hug while looking at everyone else

"Wait,wait...Sacks and Shredder?So why aren't we out there hunting them down?"Ralph suggest while Shredder shake Avis head

"Because,Rapheal,the Shredder is a skilled warrior whose cruelty is ever reaching!And you are just teenagers..."Splinter reminds causing Ralph to growl in frustration

"The mutagen in your blood is of great value to them..Now that Sacks has confirmation that you are alive,I fear they will bring the fight to us..."Splinter says while I widen my eyes letting go of April checking my pockets

"Please tell me I still don't have it.."I mumble before taking out the card he gave me

"Oh no...."I mumble standing up,right to hear a beeping noise coming from a computer

"Perimeter infringe.Breached!We have incoming!"Donnie warns going up to the screens as everyone looks around.I run up to them,taking a look at the sewers

"Oh no!On no!We got two breaches.Fan room,weapon wall!"

"Mikey,flank right!Donnie,on me!We gotta go!Go!Go!Go!"Leo orders while I turn to see April gone,I run to the weapon room before hearing a beep

"Wait.."I mumble

"No get back!"
