If I don't see you again.

This was it the last mission. To take down an alien invasion, seems like a job for the military or at the very least the police. Not a small group of people. Even if a majority of those people are ninjas. But they had known about the Invasion for years, and have sabotaged every advance. Now they had the inside knowledge, they knew when and where it was going to start, and how they were going to stop it. The details where plotted out in great lengths in one ninjas head. Even if the military was going to get involved he had a plan for that. He looked at his watch and went though it in his head. Everyone had a job to do and even if they didn't do it there was a backup. Donatello took a deep breath. He needed to trust that everyone would do their job. He needed to let go of the plan and just put it into action.

Donatello dropped his wrist with his watch and looked up. He saw all of his family and the friends they had made. They were all saying reassuring things to each other, or getting pumped for game time. One friend he lingered on for a while. Felling his gaze she looked up at him. She was geared up to go with a small backpack full of weapons and supplies, and a belt with communications and her fans. Even if she was ready to fight of hoards of aliens she still looked as pretty as the day he had laid eyes on her two years ago. She had grown up a bit, gotten amazingly skilled at Ninjutsu and now her hair was short. He remembered when she was almost kidnapped by the Kraang, she fought tooth and nail and in the end they got her by her ponytail. She promptly cut it off and escaped. That story scared the living crap out of Donatello, all the variables, all the "what ifs". What if she hadn't grabbed her fan back as she was escaping. What if she didn't hold her breath long enough to get though the Demention X air. What if they weren't down a level of the building and couldn't clear away for her to escape? What if. Donatello always planned for What Ifs now. He knew that everything wasn't predicable his attraction to April was a testament to that. And he knew that whatever the enemy did couldn't be totally predicted.

"It's just around the corner, guys." His older brother Leonardo's words snapped him out of his thoughts. Any minute now they would jump out of the vehicle and into the plan. His head was still reeling around the plan and what ifs and he couldn't go in to battle with a full head. A hand rested on his arm. Donatello looked down at April who had made her way over to him. One look at her face told him that she knew exactly what was going through his head and that he should stop worrying. He let a breath out. She opened her arms. The hug was brief but it was just long enough to get him to stop thinking. Donatello set her down on the ground but kept her arm's length away. He had grown up too, in two years. He leaned his head down to rest his forehead on hers. They both breathed like their Sensei had taught them how to. Donatello blushed at the closeness but kept his mind focused on the breathing.

"If I don't see you again April," He though calmly, "Then I want to remember this moment." Donatello opened his eyes and stepped away. April nodded in agreement. Did he just say that out loud? He looked around to see if anyone else had heard, they weren't paying attention. His second eldest brother Raphael was ready at the door; he nodded Donatello over to stand with him at the ready. April moved to her position on the other door. Casey noted her presents next to him he had his game face on. Angle took her spot next to him and Karai took to Aprils other side. A look passed the two Kunoichi's.

Donatello looked away and breathed, His Eldest brother Leonardo stood facing them holding the door for the right moment. He made eye contact with each one of his brothers making sure that everyone knew what was going to happen.

His youngest brother punched him in the arm. "Ready bro?" Michelangelo was bouncing with excitement. Donatello smiled, "Yep." Raphael Grunted, pleased with how much fighting he was about to do. Leo smiled as well, satisfied he opened the door.

They all had a job to do, their small Family, to stop an alien invasion, One. Last. Mission.

"BOOYAH..." They all jumped.
