Vicky was scared but she wasn't going to let that stop her from what she planned to do. She made her way across the city, heading towards the residential district that she used to call home. The sun had made it's way into the sky by now, it had been about to rise when she quietly left the lair, and Leo.
That thought brought her mind back to last night and she shivered with pleasure. He had been so gentle with her, so careing. Never before had she felt that with anyone else. She longed to be back there in his arms. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. No she had to do this. To protect Dennis and Amy. To protect Leo...
She couldn't have him risking his life to deal with her problems. The fact that he snuck into the mansion last night sent chills down her spine. What could have happened to him ran through her mind. No, she had to prevent that. She had to try and make things right again...
Suddenly she felt hands grab her from behind. Shocked she let out a cry and a hand quickly covered her mouth. A figure all in black dropped to the ground in front of her from the roof overhead. "Inform the Master that we have found the woman." He said then looked at her "You should not have run away, Mrs. Dalton. Your husband has been looking for you. He will be most anxious to see you."

They raced across the rooftops as fast as they could, Leo in the lead. He knew where she was going and he thought he knew what she was planning to do. They had to get to her first. 'Damn it, why didn't I see this coming. I knew she was upset about these events. Why didn't I feel her slip out of my arms...' She had felt so good next to him, as if she was meant to be there. He awoke with his bed feeling so cold and empty without her in it. When she was there he had felt so, so...
" 'Relaxed' is the word your looking for, Leo." Raph said to him as he ran along side his brother.
"What?"
"She managed to slip away from you because you let all of your guards down. You were completely open to her. Or as Mikey would say, 'You had your ninja turned off.' "
Leo threw a shocked glance at his brother. "How did you-"
Raph chuckled. "Do I really need to tell you?"
"Mikey." Leo sighed.
"He just happened to hear you two is all. You do have that flimsy door, you know."
They flipped over a gap in the rooftops caused by a narrow ally. They landed without breaking stride and continued on. Leo said to his brother "You don't approve, do you?"
Raph was quiet for a moment. "Leo, I'll admit that at first I was against it all. You bringing them to the lair, wanting to train them and yes even what happened between you and her last night took me off guard. But If she makes you happy then I'm all in for it. Hell, maybe she can take that rigid stick you have been carrying all these years in your ass out and break it on your head." then he smiled "Besides, the kids are growing on me."
Leo looked at his brother. "Thank you, Raph."
"No problem, Leo. We have had our differences over the years but I'll always be here for you."
"Same here, Leo." Donnie said from his other side.
"Ditto, dude" Mikey chimed in.
Leo looked around at his brothers and nodded. Then focused his thoughts. It was time to get his happiness back...

They had brought her to the house. After the men caught her they placed her in the back of a van and locked her in. She couldn't help a small nervous chuckle as they struggled to get through morning rush hour traffic. 'We would get there quicker by walking' she thought. After a while of trying to fight the city streets they had arrived. The one place she needed to go to but she never wanted to be again. Waiting for them in the lobby, between the twin set of curved staircases leading to the second floor, was the one man she never wanted to see again. "Well now, look who has finally come home." Nicholas said "Where are the kids?"
"Safe and away from you!" She hissed at him.
He slapped her. "Now, let me ask again. Where are they?"
"Go to hell."
He slapped her again, harder this time. "Now you know it's not nice to keep children from their father." He brought his face closer to hers. "Where are they?"
"With someone who deserves the honor of being their father more than you do. You will never deserve that right."
This time he punched her. The pain exploded in her face but she defiantly turned her head back to face him. "This stubbornness isn't usual for you. I thought I beat it out of you a long time ago."
"Well, you thought wrong."
He raised his fist to hit her again but was interrupted. "Boss, the doc you wanted to see is here."
Nicholas turned to face the man who spoke to him. "Good. Tell him to go to the basement lab and-"
Vicky used that moment of inattention. Quickly she reached for the knife she had brought with her hidden inside the light jacket she wore. He was close enough to where she could end the threat to her children with one knife stroke to the heart. She thrust the knife towards him. However before it could touch him a hand flashed out and caught her forearm. Then it squeezed until she cried out in pain and dropped the knife. She turned to see who had her arm and froze in fear.
The man was tall, almost seven feet, and heavily muscled but that wasn't what filled her with fear. He was dressed in metal armor with blades coming out of it in various places. He wore a helmet and mask that left his eyes free and those eyes brought her no comfort. Instead they filled her with fear and dread. "This is the woman?" he asked Nicholas in a deadly quiet voice.
"Yes, my lord Shredder. This is the one we need."
"Very well. I see no further need to delay. Let us proceed immediately."
"As you wish." Nicholas reached down and picked up the knife she had dropped. He then placed the point to her chin. "If you behave I might let you live but if you don't, believe me when I tell you I have no problem with killing you and placing what I need in cold storage."
Suddenly something, a metal star?, flashed in front of her eyes at a downward angle and hit Nicholas in the arm holding the knife. The force of impact pulling the knife away from her face. He screamed in pain and anger as blood began to soak into his suit sleeve where the star had lodged into his arm.
A mere second later something crashed into Shredder and that impact landed them both on to the floor as he held the grip on her arm. He, however, released his grip and she quickly rolled away from him. She looked up to see what had happened.
"Leo." she breathed. He was facing off with the tall human. She watched as the two came together in a flash of quick moves that she could barely follow. Leo was beautiful to watch, his moves graceful and fluid. He took her breath away with his skill. A complete contrast to Shredder who had speed and power but no grace.
She felt someone grab her under her arms. She looked up to see Raph trying to help her up. "Are you alright?"
She nodded. "Good, then lets move. He can't hold Shredder back for long."
She nodded again as Raph got her on her feet.
When she got her balance Raph started to push her to the main doors of the house where Mikey and Donnie were trying to clear a path out. Apparently Shredder had brought some of his own men to the compound. As they reached the door and Raph placed her in the middle of the three brothers. "Stay close." he told her. Then he helped his brothers and they broke through to the outside. "LEO! We're clear!" Raph shouted over the commotion.
Once outside they noticed more figures rushing towards them. Donnie looked around and saw the van that they brought her in sitting not far away. "The van! Get in it!"
"What about Leo?" Vicky asked as Mikey pulled her towards the van.
"He'll be OK. Trust me. Now get in!" and Mikey pushed her into the back of the van as Donnie sat in the drivers seat mumbling under his breath and trying to hotwire it.
Vicky kept her gaze glued to the front of the house as the brothers fought off the men starting to surround the van. "Where are you..." She whispered. Finally, just as Donnie got the van to fire up, she saw Leo rush through the door way. "Leo! Over here dude!" Mikey called to him.
Leo started running to the van. There was a group of men between him and the van but it didn't seem to concern him as he ran up to them flipping high into the air over them and taking out two of them with a split kick as he came back down. A instant after that he was next to Mikey and Raph. "Get in" he told them. He held the men off as his brothers climbed in. As they turned back towards the doors to grab the handles, Leo flipped into the van with a backroll. "Punch it, Donnie!"
Donnie slammed on the accelerator as Mikey and Raph managed to close the doors. "Hang on guys! This is going to be a bit bumpy!" The van then crashed through the gates and into the street. Donnie made a hard left turn and Vicky was flung to the right side of the van. Before she hit the van wall Leo grabbed her and pulled her close to him. "Hang on to me." he told her.
Donnie finally got the van straightened out and the ride became much smoother. Leo looked at her "Are you OK?" She nodded, then he pulled her close to him "Don't ever do that again." he whispered.
She held him tight. "I'm so sorry..."
"Uh, guys, I hate breaking up the reunion but we aren't out of the woods yet." Mikey said as he was looking out the back van window.
Leo got up and looked out the other window and began cursing under his breath. "Donnie! We got three SUVs tailing us!" He yelled to his driving brother.
"And what do you want me to do? Pull over and tell them to go away!?" came the annoyed reply.
"Smartass." Raph muttered.
"Try and shake them!" Leo said.
"I AM!"
Suddenly there was a popping sound the window that Leo had been looking out of just moments before shattered.
"Dudes! So not cool! They are shooting at us!" Mikey said as he dropped down to the floor of the van.
Suddenly the van made a hard turn to the right and they were all thrown to the left side of the van. "Could you warn us next time before you do that!?" Raph yelled at Donnie.
"Do you want to drive!" Donnie shot back.
"Next time, yes!"
"We lost one." Leo spoke up from where he was looking out the window again. "He couldn't make the turn and flipped."
"Great...That only leaves us with two." Raph said, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Leo ducked down again as they started to fire at them once more. Above him the other window shattered.
"Guys, I'm not having fun anymore." Mikey said.
"Shut up, Mikey." his three brothers replied as one.
Leo popped his head back up to the window, looked their unwelcome followers for a moment. then dropped back down as gun fire rang out once more. "I got and idea."
"About time. I was starting to wonder if your brain still worked." came from Raph.
"Will you just hush and listen? They are driving side by side. Mikey is going to open the doors and we take out the front tires. The left one on one and the right one the other. How good is your throwing arm?"
"Good enough for that. Let's do it."
Leo and Raph positioned themselves on either side of Mikey who was ready to open the doors. "One, two, three...NOW!"
Mikey opened the doors and as one Leo and Raph stood up and threw something Vicky couldn't quite make out. Suddenly, almost at the exact same time, the front tires closest to the other SUV blew out. The result was the two vehicles swerving towards the inside and crashing into each other. Vicky watched, stunned, as both vehicles flipped and rolled along the street a few times. "Ha ha! Take that suuuuuckers!" Mikey yelled.
Raph smacked him on the back of the head. "Knock it off and help me close the doors back up."
They closed the doors back up. Then the three brothers sat on the floor of the van as Donnie drove them to safety.
"Well that didn't go according to plan." Leo said as he pulled Vicky back into his arms.
"It didn't?" she asked him.
"No. The original plan was to sneak in, knock some heads, grab you and sneak out again. All that went wrong when we noticed that Shredder had entered to scene."
"You mean....."
"Yup," Raph interrupted "Ol' Fearless here was flying by the seat of his pants."
Leo shrugged. "Nobody is perfect......"
