TMNT: Sisterhood
Chapter Three: Telepath
Mona grumbled angrily at herself looking at the time. It had been more than an four hours since Angel hadn't returned. Getting a hot dog or Chinese food wouldn't have taken this long right outside China Town. Her other sisters were busy eating the pizza they had ordered while watching a movie on T.V. Luckily for Madonna she had set the whole T.V. system up. If it wasn't for her intelligence they'd be sitting turtles with nothing to do. Angel would have been the one running out more than she normally does already finding things for them to do.
"Guys;" Mona shouted over the loud T.V. She always wondered when Sistine was going to leave it at a normal level instead of always having it on surround sound, climbing down the top balcony down to the main recreation room. Mona unplugged the T.V.
"Hey;" Came from both Madonna and Sistine.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm worried about Angel. It's not like her to be gone this long." Mona announced.
"You're right let's go;" Madonna said and jumped off the couch. Sistine followed; "Wait for me guys." She yelled.
They made it to the one of the sky scrapers close to their theater. Peering ahead Madonna saw The Foot fighting Sloan, and three other turtles; "There!" Madonna pointed ahead.
"Alright let's go." Sistine said already looking forward to a fight.
Karai was already frustrated when she saw Leo, and didn't have time to fight him right now. She didn't have a choice now, since they were protecting the one they came for, and she was already a mile or so down the road heading out of China Town. Shredder was going to be irate with her once they all returned home empty handed. Looking up at the tall powerful young man she wanted to know who he was, and could tell he was in search of either the same thing or something more.
Leo blocked her sword as she swung it toward his head; he hated it when he wasn't ready for that attack; "Tell Shredder that she won't be working with you." Leo told her sternly and forcefully cold enough to be sure she wouldn't follow them. She was surprised to see this newly found strength in him. She knew he had been training a lot since they last parted, but that didn't bother her one bit.
"Sooner or later she will be with us." Karai returned the favor in manner.
Sloan saw her through his minds third eye using Raphael. He could already sense him repelling against his control. Gathering more strength from Raphael's aura he searched his memory to find out more information about these other ninja's who were attacking the turtles. Searching further into his mind he saw Karai's face and knew from how angry Raphael got that she was the leader of The Foot. Looking over at her fighting one of the turtles he held out his hand and shot a blast of energy right at Leo holding him in place. Don and Mikey heard Leo's yell and stopped fighting, and ran up to Leo to help him.
"Let him go;" Mikey demanded of this new villain that held him. Sloan wanted nothing to do with any of the three, and shot out two more blasts of energy balls around them; "Silence." Sloan ordered.
Leo and his brother's tried to break the balls of energy with their weapons but nothing seemed to give.
"Who are you?" Karai asked.
"My name is Sloan Tyveck, and I think we can help each other." Sloan wanted to work with her, and also saw the dark beauty in her soul.
"Why do you seek The Foot?" She asked knowing that she had been asking too many questions these days and wished she already knew the answers.
"Because again we both want the same thing, only for different reasons;" Sloan answered. Karai was starting to like how this was going.
"Follow us." Karai offered him.
Before any of them were ready to leave the building, Mona knocked into Sloan noticing his concentration on holding the turtles. Holding out her hand he noticed she had a trinity knot tattoo on the inside of her palm. He hated the fact that Angel gave them one of the powers that makes him weak. He knew Angel used both symbols for good, and with both came greater power. Once his concentration was released on the turtles Mona attacked him again. Along with hearing the other five join her.
"Sloan!" Mona yelled angrily at him. By the time Mona had a chance to attack him; he started spinning so fast that he vanished in front of them along with The Foot.
"What did you hit him with;" Don asked walking up to Mona looking at her hand.
"I use trinity knots. One of the purity symbols you can use on evil." Mona explained to him; "Very cool;" Mikey chimed in behind them.
"Can I have one;" He added. Don hit him; "Hey, only kidding." He said.
"So you three must be the others Raphael was telling us about." Leo started to say; "How come you wouldn't allow him to leave your home?" Leo inquired wondering himself.
"We didn't want anyone else knowing." Madonna answered.
"Angel has strict codes about new comers as well;" Mona supplied.
Mona was getting tired of trying to hide how impatient she really was. During her months of training she had been doing better at her meditating, though lately it hasn't been going so well with her endless nights without sleep. She looked over at Leo and could already see his strong aura around him. She knew that without any inkling he was the larder.
Leo watched Mona walk over to him very surprised that she knew. He liked her in that way of already knowing.
"Will you be willing to go stay at our place;" Leo asked.
"Raph's already headed back with Angel." Mikey announced; "We would love to;" Sistine replied.
"It's decided then." Don said; "Let's go." He waved his arm and started to move back to the layer they called home, and he already missed the smell of warm pizza waiting back home that surprisingly Mikey didn't finish.
Raphael shook his head forcefully feeling whatever presence was in him leave. Seeing home not far off he parked the bike in its hiding place, Angel was astounded at how they ran things here above and below the sewers; "So who was that guy again?" Raph asked as he showed her down the sewers of their home.
"His name is Sloan Tyveck the last of his kind that you would call wizards or dark wizards. He's pretty much after me now to take the power he taught me to gain." Angel explained.
Splinter heard them enter the main room and turned off his G.G. (Gilmore Girl's), after a twenty four hour marathon he was filled with information on his favorite story.
"Hello Angel;" Splinter acknowledged her presences. Surprised and happy to find a master of the art she truly loved. Most of her training was throughout her live time, and she didn't have many teachers. Some of it she had learned online or with Sloan which now she hated to admit to that.
"It's an honor to meet you;" Angel bowed to him as he approached.
"I sense great fear, anger, impatience, and power over you, but your calmness is what keeps you at bay. I see you have done many hours of meditating." Splinter pretty much narrowed down her inner most feelings. Smiling bashfully she felt a little guilty that she couldn't sense any of his mishaps, "Leo would love to meditate with you sometime. It's one of his favorite past times." Splinter told her. Raphael growled low not wanting to show his jealousy, but also pleased to know that Angel showed more of his strengths, "Thanks. Maybe I will do that sometime with Leo, though I've taught Mona how to meditate as well, though she has a hard time keeping still." Angel told them honestly.
"Would you like me to show you around;" Raphael asked, not trying to keep her from Splinter, but the talk of her with Leo was not on his top ten list.
"I would love it;" Angel said sensing his impatience.
Most of the den was done very well. She could tell one of them had to know a lot about computers seeing the cameras, and security system doors; "Are we expecting unexpected guests any time soon?" Angel asked Raphael.
"As far as I know no, but unlike you we have more enemies than just The Foot so we need it, and it looks like Don may have to do the same to your theater as well." Raphael pointed out remembering the lack of security; "I guess we don't get out as much as you guys." Angel pointed out dryly. She hated the fact that she had to hide. She wanted her family to be allowed outside, but it just wasn't so.
"I know the feeling;" Raphael said; "This is the work out room." He gestured toward a big open area that also had a pool in the middle with a small bridge over it.
"This is so cool." Angel said examining the sewers high ceiling. Even with their tiny theater, she wished they had a workout room this big for training. Looking around the room she found a pair of Sai's other than her own and picked them up. Turning to face Raphael she lunged forward into an attack position. Not ready for the attack Raph rolled back and flipped her with him.
"Too slow;" Angel asked teasingly. Raph grinned; "Not in your life time." He responded to the attack again. Splinter entered watching the two. This was probably the third person he's probably opened up to a little bit more than Casey and April. April connected well with Leo and Don. Casey enjoyed games and rough housing which included Mikey and Raph so they pair off easily. Now they found four more to share their bond of loneliness from the outside world.
Angel was enjoying this, and for the first time felt like she finally belonged with someone. She didn't know why she connected well with him. Her gut feeling was speaking loud and clear; "So when will the other's get back;" Master Splinter interrupted their interlude of playfulness. Angel stopped first pinning Raph to the floor; "I should be heading back myself. They probably don't even know where I'm at?" Angel told Splinter honestly.
"Well look what we have here;" Mikey chimed in the silence. Raph looked away from Angel finding not three but six turtles standing there wondering what these entanglements of rough housing or from the look on Mickey's face it meant flirting; "Raph's got a girlfriend." Mikey sang teasingly.
"You are going to get it;" Raph growled picking up Angel like she was a toothpick and rushed over to give Mikey a noogie.
"Hey stop it, mind the perfect bald head." Mikey rustled out of Raph's grip and punched him back.
Leo walked up to Angel; "Splinter said you like to mediate. Would you care to join me?" Leo had his hopes on having some time with her, but could tell lately most of her attention was on Raph. Splinter could see the tension in the room and was about to make the other two do flips in the other training room anyway for their rudeness. Shaking his head he cleared his throat; "Boys;" Mikey and Raph stopped and knew what was coming; "Twenty flips now!" Splinter ordered. Raph looked pleadingly at Splinter to be able to hang out with Angel, but he could already see that he had her heading out of the room with Leo. He saw her looking over her shoulder at him not really wanting to do this mediation right now.
"A hundred;" Splinter placed the order on Raph mainly but still made Mikey do the same amount; "He started;" Mikey pointed out; "You encouraged it." Splinter pointed out and left the boys to do their silent treatment of a hundred flips.
