The next morning Leo was training in the dojo. He wasn't stiff or sore anymore although his arm still twinged a bit if he moved it wrong. Although he liked to train alone sometimes, it helped him think for one and to much training with his brothers turned into more rough housing for another, this morning he had a sparring partner. And she was getting good, not as good as the brothers but enough to hold her own in a fight. No more was she the damsel in distress as she was when he first laid eyes on her and she just kept improving. Leo was proud of her accomplishments, they had all trained her and he could see his brother's and master's influence in her movements. Vicky was a work of ninja art in the making. She matched his strikes and kicks and even got a few of her own in, although she was being careful not to hit him in the arm. Leo narrowed his eyes a bit, he was fighting at her speed and it was time to take her to the next level. He wanted to see what would happen if he sped the rythm of the fight up just a notch. So he did, and she held him back. 'That's my girl.' Yes indeed she was a rare talent.
"Leo!" he heard Raph yell coming towards the dojo.
"What, Raph." he said not taking his eyes off of his love, who was trying to beat the crap out of him.
"While you two are in here playing. Mir started crying."
"OK," Leo ducked under a kick and he tried to sweep Vicky's feet out from under her but she flipped over him 'Huh, not bad.'
"I think she's sick."
'What makes you say that?" Vicky asked as she blocked Leo's good arm.
"Because she just threw up all over me!"
Leo couldn't help it, he laughed and completely lost his focus. He didn't see the foot coming to his head. Suddenly he felt her connect and he went flying to the side. 'Damn that girl has a kick.' But it was totally worth it when he looked up and saw his brother. He was holding Mir out at arms length and his front was covered in baby puke. The baby looked at her parents. "ooog bah pfft"
"I got it Raph." Vicky went and took the baby from the red masked turtle and went to go get her cleaned up.
"That's bad, Leo. You lost because of baby puke." Raph said coming to help him up.
"Yeah, but at least I didn't get puked on." Raph dropped him back onto the floor.
"She's getting good, Leo."
He rubbed his jaw "You noticed." He got up off of the floor.
"Better than any of us expected her to be, considering she's been pregnant through most of her training."
"It really wasn't that bad. Just because she couldn't hit and kick didn't mean she didn't pick anything up all those months. Form before function."
"The guys and I wanted to ask you something, Leo."
Leo looked curiously at his brother. "They couldn't ask me themselves?"
"Well, It's a touchy subject. They figured I'd be the toughest to stand one of your knock out punches."
"OK, I'm listning."
"Leo, she's like a sister to us, but we know to you she is something more and we wanted your approval before we brought the idea up to her."
"Approval for what?"
"We would like to start her on patroling with us. Nothing big like recon missions, not yet anyway. Just some simple round the block beat up thug stuff at first."
Leo looked at his brother thoughfully. "You do realise that she can't do some of the stuff we can, right. She can't match us on the roof tops or in our speed and strength."
"Well, then we will carry her until she can and start her on it slowly. Speed comes with time and she's going to have the four of us with her."
"Who's going to watch the kids?"
"Master Splinter already said he would."
"What if she gets into something over her head?"
"Then I'll beat the crap outta the creep."
Leo laughed. "You guys have thought this over, huh. It's fine Raph, I was actually thinking the same thing not to long ago. It's getting time to expand her education. But not right now."
"Yeah, I agree with you on that one, Leo. To much going on right now. Speaking of...Hows the arm?"
Leo sighed. He knew the only thing holding them back right now from trying to find answers was his arm. And it still wasn't up to the task yet. "Better, but not good enough I'm afraid."
Donnie and Dennis came into the dojo."This boy is a genius." Donnie said with a grin. "I think he just solved a problem for us. I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself."
Leo and Raph looked at each other, then at Donnie. "OK, I'll bite. What did he out wit you on?" Raph asked.
"Since we can't go get the info we need ourselves because of Leo's arm, Dennis suggested a 'remote control thingie.' " He looked at Leo. "Think you can handle a run back to Bachman?"
"Now that I can handle." Leo said.
"Good, we can leave when ever you are ready. Dennis and I already fixed something up."
Dennis was smiling from ear to ear, aparently glad he could help. Leo gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Thank you, my boy. Your Uncle Donnie seems to be slipping with age."
"Hey!" Donnie protested as Raph and Dennis laughed.
"We can go as soon as one thing gets taken care of."
"Oh? What?" Donnie asked.
"Raph washes the baby puke off of him first."

They stood on the rooftop of the neighboring building, The night was cool and there was a slight breeze. It felt good to be back out again and finally do something useful. "You positive this is going to work, Donnie?'
"There is no such thing as positive. You just plan as best you can and hope for the best." He reached into his pouch and pulled out a little device.
"Dude, what is that?" Mikey asked.
"Spyfly."
"Spyfly?" His brothers asked in amusment.
"Hey, it was Dennis' idea so I let him name it. He called it Spyfly." Donnie pulled out another device out of his pouch.
"Hey! Remote! I got dibbs!" Mikey snatched it out of Donnie's hands.
Raph promptly snatched it from his little brother's hand. "No way, lamebrain. I got this."
"Give it back!" Mikey tackled him and a game of rolling around on the rooftop began.
Leo looked at Donnie. "Did we have to bring them?" Donnie smacked his palm on his face. They rolled past Leo and he quickly reached out and grabbed it from Raph. "Donnie drives it. Now will you two knock it off before you let the whole block know we are here?"
"Aw, man. Donnie always gets to play with the cool toys." Mikey said getting up.
Leo sighed. He loved his brothers deeply but sometimes they had their moments. He watched as Donnie powered up the remote "I built a little screen and sound system in here so we can see and hear what spyfly sees."
"I just hope we didn't make this trip tonight for no reason though." Leo said "There is that chance that nothing happens tonight."
"But then there is the chance that something does, Leo." Raph said "All we can do is wait and see."
Leo nodded to Donnie and he turned the little mechanical bug loose. It zipped, under Donnie's guidence, to the Bachman building. Leo hoped that they could finally find something out. Brian was running out of time and they all knew it.

Spyfly zipped towards the building, straight as an arrow towards the same ventilation shaft they had entered a few days earlier. They had replaced, and reinforced, the cover but Donnie found a small spot it could slip into. He had spent the last few days while Leo was recovering to study the layout of the building from all the blueprints he managed to gather. The office of Derek Bachman was his target tonight and he knew exactly where it was. Skillfully, making Mikey jealous in the process, he maneuvered the little machine through the vent's twists and turns until he got it to the floor he needed.
It popped out of the ventilation shaft and zipped thought the hallways with the same ease and skill as before. Finally it came to the door Donnie was looking for. He lowered it to the floor and guided it under the door. Once on the other side he spun it in a circle to survey the room. He noticed a large potted floor plant sitting in a corner. 'Perfect.' He got Spyfly settled down just the way he wanted and they watched and waited.

Derek Bachman made his way to his office, he had one of those meetings again tonight. He really wasn't looking forward to it. The last few communications have been filled with tension after he lost the mixbreed, the only success of the multiple DNA mutagen formula. He needed to get it back but every attempt failed miserably. And to make matters worse he had a break in a few days ago, apparently some freaks had snuck in. He sighed. No, he was really not looking forward to this meeting tonight.
He entered his office and turned the lights on, then made his way to his desk and sat down in his chair. He waited quietly, he knew he wouldn't be alone for long.
"What news do you have for me?" said a woman's voice from behind him.
"The speciman is still missing. We have made contact numerous times but we just cannot catch him."
"What of the wife? You were going to use her as bait."
"She's disappeared also. Again my men had made contact but the beast and some others apparently stepped in."
"What others?"
"I don't know. My men were babbling about green things when they returned. And a few days ago I'm assuming those same green things broke into the building. They were found in the subjects office."
"I see. This time I will not hold that against you. They are very formidable and they are the reason for the experiments."
"You know them?"
"To well. One of them has managed to break my father from a strong man to a weakling coward. They will pay for that and the beast will be the first step. Find the beast and capture it. Do not fail me again."
"Yes Mistress Karai."

"Well, that answers that question." Leo said "Karai is back in town."
"And apparently she's mad that we messed up dear ol' dad." Raph said.
"Don't you mean Leo messed him up." Mikey corrected.
"I didn't want his ego to inflate."
"Yeah, Raph doesn't want it to get bigger than his." Donnie broke in.
Leo stood quietly looking out over the city. He knew deep down something like this might happen. Her bond between her and Shredder was stronger than the bond of friendship they had once held, a friendship that had almost blossomed into something more. She would do anything to avenge any slight against her father and Leo had gave him a decent beating last time. She didn't realize one thing though, Leo had so much more to fight for now. And fight for it he would.
