How in the world did he get stuck doing this? None of this was his idea. Bringing them here wasn't his idea. Training them deifinatly wasn't his idea. Yet here Raph was with the two little tykes in front of him in the dojo. They were facing off with each other doing punching and kicking moves. Moves that didn't even come close to being right. "I'm going to get you for this, Leo" he muttered then stepped up to the kids to try and calm them down. He tried anyway, they were so excited that they wouldn't even listen to him. Finally he had enough. "SIT DOWN!" he yelled.
They stopped and promptly sat down looking up at him. "That's better." He mumbled. "Now first we are going to stretch and then we will start practicing. You will listen to exactly what I tell you to do. Got it?" They nodded. "Good. Lets begin."
He showed them some streaches to do and then guided them through how to do them. However he didn't get very far. "OW! Dennis you stepped on my foot!" Amy said.
"I didn't mean to!"
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't, Poopyhead!"
'Uh-oh' Raph thought as he saw a flash in her eyes. He knew what was coming next. Before he could even begin to stop her she had tackled her brother and was sitting on top of him. She had just raised her hand to hit him when he caught it. "Amy, we never hit out of anger." Where had he heard that before? He sighed. He was beginning to understand what Master Splinter had gone through all those years ago. "To fight in anger means you fight without control. You never want to loose control. It does more damage than good. Understand?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now both of you get up and let's try this again."
The rest of the lesson went without anymore problems. They were both quick to learn and caught on very fast to what he was trying to show them. 'Hmm. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.' ran through his mind. After they had practiced enough he called a halt for the day.
"Awww man." Dennis said. "I want to learn that flying kick thingie Leo did."
Raph laughed. "My little friend, you are nowhere near ready to learn that yet. Small stuff first then we get to the big stuff."
"Ooookay." the boy said.
"Don't worry. We will keep practicing. We will do some more tomorrow. Now scoot."
They started to walk out of the dojo. Suddenly Amy came running back and gave him a hug. "Thank you, Uncle Raphie." she said. Then she walked off with her brother.
Raph watched her go with astonishment on his face. Then he got a goofy smile. Maybe Leo had a good idea after all... Of course he would never tell his brother that. He chuckled and followed the children out.

Donnie had spent the morning doing research on his computer and he didn't like what he was seeing. He looked at his screen and all his scribbled notes lying around on his desk and sighed.

"And why the big sigh, Donnie?" Leo asked as he entered the lab.
"Because I'm hoping I'm wrong."
Leo looked at him curiosly. "What did you find?"
Donnie sighed again. They didn't hear the whole story when they walked up on Leo and Vicky last night. Donnie and his brothers really weren't trying to eavesdrop. But the kids were getting hungry and they had to pass by the couple to get to the kitchen. They came up on them just as Leo was making her the offer to stay so they assumed that they missed all the sensitive stuff. Leo filled them in on her past after he helped her and the kids get settled in for the night. Donnie suspected though that Leo didn't tell them everything. His eyes said he was going to keep it that way too. He figured he didn't need to know about it anyway if it was to private for his brother to share.
"Well I keep finding way to many conicidents. First off, Genco tried to buy out the lab that Vicky's dad worked at before he died. Deal didn't go through. Next I went searching for any records of Vicky being admitted after she accidently drank her father's samples. Look who was sitting on the board of directors of the hospital at the time." Donnie held up a printed sheet of paper.

Leo took it and read it. "Nicholas Dalton" he whispered.
Donnie nodded."Not only that Genco also supplied the hospital with their lab equipment. And now for the final punch. He was at the same medical convention that Vicky's dad went to that night."
Leo looked at Donnie. "Then he follows her to Las Vegas."
"Leo, I hate to say this but I don't think he married her out of love. Her married her to own whatever it is she has that he needs."
His brother's eyes flashed. "Donnie, you feel like doing a little sleuthing tonight?"
"Well that depends. Where are we sleuthing to?"
"We are going to the Dalton resident."
Donnie's jaw hit the floor.

"Would you look at this place?' Mikey whisperd "It's friggin huge."
"Well guarded too." Raph said noticing the guards and security cameras. Leo knew he was thinking the same thing as his brother. Vicky was lucky to get out. "So, Fearless, how do we get in?"
Leo looked at Raph. "We get onto the roof and find a window. For some reason guards never look up."
Raph rolled his eyes. "Great plan" He muttered.
He ignored his brother and looked at Donnie. "You got everything you need?"
"Yes."
Leo took a deep breath "Then lets go."
The compound sat in a residential part of the city. It was, as Mikey stated, quite large and surrounded by a wall. The main building was a two story mansion and threre were a lot of smaller buildings scattered around the main house. They stood on the roof of a building next to it but there was over a 50 foot gap between the side of the building they were on and the top of the wall they needed to get over. But once they crossed that gap the main house was pretty close to the wall. It wouldn't be hard to get to the roof. As one the four brothers got their grappling hooks ready and silently threw them to the wall. Then they tied off their ends and slowly started to make their way across. Once on the wall they quietly made their way to the roof. "This way" Donnie whispered and led them to the eastern part of the house. He had studied the blue prints of the house before they left the lair, something Leo was grateful for. Quickly and quietly they crossed the roof following Donnie. Then his brother stopped and pointed down, they were now above the window to the office. They were about to lower themselves to the window when they heard talking. Apparently the window was open because they could hear the conversation quite clearly. Leo motioned them all to crouch down in the shadows and they sat and quietly listened.
"She's been spotted here in New York recently. Less than two weeks ago in fact. She still had the little brats with her. Some of my men happened to run into her."
"And these men of yours. They could not capture her?"
"No" the first voice snarled. "Apparently some friends of your Master came to her aid. My men came back telling stories of four big green freaks."
"The Turtles!" The second voice hissed.
"Tell your master that if our plan is to work we need to find them. Everything hinges on this."
"I understand. I will relay this information to Master Shredder upon my return."
The turtles looked at one another in shock. This problem was far bigger than any of them could have thought.
They waited until the voices went away and the compound settled down for the night. Leo, Donnie and Raph slowly and carefully climbed down to the window while Mikey kept watch on the roof. The window was closed now.
Leo looked at Donnie. "Can you open it?" he whispered.
A quick nod was the only reply he got. He quickly reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a little tool kit and a small machine. He placed the machine on the window and turned it on. "Cocky bastard," Donnie whispered "He doesn't even have a security alarm on the window. He must feel real safe. Well whatever makes my job easier I suppose." He quickly put the machine away and went to work on opening the window. A short time later the three brothers were in the office.
Leo looked around and found the desk. "Donnie, over there is his computer. Raph, go stand by the door and listen. Let us know if you hear something." Raph nodded and went to the door while his brothers went to the computer. Donnie turned it on. "Go figure. I need a password." He grumbled and fished another device out of his pouch and hooked it up. He punched some buttons on it. "Got it. I'm in." Leo waited while Donnie was searching the computer. He looked at Raph and his red masked brother shook his head. No one moving around out there yet. "I think I found what we need." Came the whisper from the desk. Donnie pulled yet another device out and hooked it up. "I'm going to copy all the files then we can go." Leo nodded to his brother. They waited silently in the dark room.
"OK. That's it." Donnie whispered, packing up his toys.
"Someone is coming." Raph said.
"Let's go." Leo hissed.
Donnie turned the computer off and they slipped back out the window. Donnie locked it back up and then the Turtles made their way back out of the compound.
When they got to the lair they found Master Splinter waiting up for them. "How did it go, my sons?"
Leo walked over to him. "Donnie thinks we got what we were looking for but it's more serious than we thought. Sensei, Shredder is involved in this too."
Splinter's eyes went flat. "I see." he said "Maybe it was most fortunate that you found them and brought them here, my son." He laid a hand on Leo's shoulder. "Your instincts serve you well."
Leo nodded and then they followed Donnie and the others into the lab.
They waited as Donnie hooked up the device he used in the office to his computer and started to download the files. None of them spoke as the purple masked turtle started to browse through the information. He sat there for a long while looking at file after file and his face was taking on a very worried expression. He was at it for well over an hour. Finally he took in a sharp breath in horror. "The man is a monster." Donnie whispered.
That sent chills down Leo's spine. "What did you find?"
Donnie took a deep breath to settle his anger. "Here, let me start with Vicky. I was right, he had been keeping an eye on her ever since she had been admitted that day as a child. He has every single piece of medical information from every single time she went to the doctor. Apparently the OBGYN she had seen worked for Nicholas and passed on everything he found. For some reason I still haven't figured out yet, I'll look into it some more, the sample she drank did alter her just a bit. It didn't alter her genetics at all but they bonded with her reproductive system. The result is that all her unfertilized eggs cells she carries have the new genetic make up. Which is the reason her kids can heal like that but she can't."
Leo looked at him stunned. "He knew this would happen?"
"He suspected it would.' Donnie corrected "He wouldn't know for sure until she actually had children. So he waited until she got old enough, married her and got her pregnant. Just so he could have test subjects. And that's exactly what they are to him....test subjects." Donnie pulled up another file. "This is information I found on all the tests that he was planning to do on them once he found out for sure if they could self heal. Leo, the man has no humanity in him...."
Leo went to the screen and looked it over. He was stunned. There was everything from breaking their bones to shooting them to see how the injuries would heal. All he was waiting for was a sign that they could self heal then the tests would begin. Leo felt a rage building inside him. The man had been given a precious gift, something Leo could never have, and he planned on giving them a life of torture and pain. He felt a rage building inside him he couldn't calm. 'How dare he do that those those poor children! How dare he-' Leo's thought broke off as he felt Splinter's calming hand on his shoulder. He struggled but he finally got his anger under control. "What else have you found, Donatello?" Splinter asked.
Donnie pulled up another file. "Apparently he is also working on a growth booster to speed up human development. He is trying to find a way to speed up the childhood and teenage stages. He is planning to inject the growth booster into Vicky's egg cells. The result he is looking for is to have a human that can go from infant to adult in a short period of time that are self healing."
This stunned them all. "How does shredder fit into all of this?" Raph broke the silence.
"Apparently this is a recent development. The original plan was to 'get rid of her'. After she fled Nicholas and Shreddar made a deal however." Donnie closed his eyes and sighed. "Think about it Raph. A human woman has around one million egg cells when she is born but they start dying off shortly after birth. When she hits puberty it's still about three hundred thousand she has left. And of those she only looses three to four hundred during her regular monthly cycles. She is carrying a whole army in her ovaries. An army that Shredder wants.....an army of quick growing self healing humans." He looked at his brothers "He wants to turn her into the mother of Shredder's almost indestructible army."
"No...." they heard from behind them. They all turned and looked.
Vicky was standing in the door way. Her eyes wide in horror and tears streaming down her face. She quietly turned and fled the room.
