Adam fell to the floor. By the time he turned around, his shackles were gone, replaced by a collar of metal around his neck. It was large, with some vials attached to it that reminded him of the mind control collars a little bit too much. It was far bulkier however, and there was no way he would be able to remove it barehanded. His captors were gone, and so were his chances of escape. He tried reopening the door, but his attempts were cut short when the door tased him for it. He backed away, shaking his hurt hand. Laugher reverberated around the place. He ignored it as he got a better look at where he was. In front of him was a corridor. It split into three a few feet from him, redividing further down the paths. Adam had no idea which one to take. “Aaaah, the specimen…” The robot Stockman’s voice said. He tried to find the source of the voice, but it was bouncing around the place too much to locate. “Welcome to my labyrinth of muters.” The voice continued. “Since your senses are quite acute, as I have extensively tested in the past, I thought we could play a little game.” It said. “In this labyrinth, I have hidden a piece of cheese. Find it, and you will be free of the collar. If you cannot find it in two hours, then the mutagen included inside the collar will activate. I have seen first hand what this specific mutagen can do to one of your kind decades ago. Trust me, it was not a pretty sight. Such a downgrade on the already puny mind of the scientist of your little ‘group’.” Adam didn't know what it was talking about, but he doubted it would lie about something like this. Probably something from the past the others hadn’t told him, and he hadn’t asked. There had always been a general consensus about not asking about traumatic past events unless it was necessary. It wasn’t exactly a ‘fun’ topic. “You should get going. The clock is ticking after all.”

It didn’t take long after they regained control of their bodies for the door to reopen. Mickey instinctively tensed, sending lightnings of pain across his shell. Tears pricked at the corner of his eyes, and he quickly blinked them away before the soldiers could see his weakness. Two of them made their way to Leo, the third one stopping in front of Don, just out of his reach. He pulled out a gun, aiming it at him. “Any sudden movement and this one gets it.” He warned Leo. Leo frowned, but there wasn’t much he could do. He let the other two detach the shackles from the floor, keeping them around his limbs, just loose enough for him to be able to waddle around. He was then grabbed under his armpits and dragged outside the room. “Leo!” Mickey exclaimed. He tried pulling on his chains, but it was a lost cause. “Don’t worry Mickey. It’ll be fine.” Leo lied. And then he was gone, and so were the three soldiers. The door slammed behind them, making Mickey twitch. He stared at it for a few seconds, as if it would suddenly reopen, with Leo on the other side, completely free and holding his trusty katanas. But of course that didn’t happen. “I don’t like how he said ‘It will be fine’ and not ‘I’ll be fine’.” Mickey breathed out. “Me neither Mickey. Me neither.” Don agreed.

“And here I thought Mikey was staying here to make sure you get some rest.” He whispered, his voice partially covered by Mikey’s sleeping mumbles. “Well, you know him, no comfortable beds can get the better of him. And by ‘no’, I of course mean ‘all’.” Don replied. Leo shook his head amicably. “He has been working hard on trying to find equipment and toys for them.” He considered. He sat next to them, placing the items aside. “Finding toys for the children isn’t too hard, we’re starting to get a decent collection, but he’s been going around trying to find entertaining items for her, which is much harder to find.” Don hummed. “Yes, he has been telling me about her lingering boredom. I tried showing her some of my equipment, but uh…” He paused to chuckle.” I think sadly my genius might be a little too much for her to understand.” Leo softly laughed.

Oh no no no no no no no… He knew it. He hadn’t wanted to believe it, but deep down he knew it. From the stench of the guns he’d seen so much, to the particular synthetic leather and equipment they would use. And that smell in the air… He couldn’t do this. It had been the one thing he had dreaded the most. He couldn’t… He- He… “Adam!” The inner doors of the room opened, and an army of EPF soldiers flooded in, weapons in hand and a strong and protective black and gray uniform covering them from head to toe, not leaving a single inch of skin visible. His ex-master’s voice rang through the room, echoing around the walls like a pinball. Adam shuddered. “Make sure not to destroy the specimen.” His ex-master ordered his men. “I’m not quite done with it yet. I need to make an example out of it.” Adam flinched. His eyes barely even noticed the soldiers charging for him. He couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. He felt like the walls had shrunk against him, pressing him to the point of suffocating him. That voice… That dreaded voice… He’d never been so afraid of it before.

Leo paced around the living room. He looked at the time. Six a.m. Almost sunrise. He took his shellcell, staring at the three missed calls he’d done in the last hour that went unanswered. He glanced at the door of the lair, hoping in vain that it would somehow open and that their missing family member would return, stating his phone had just lost battery and he was fine. He walked in circles for another few minutes. He often stayed awake when one of them was out, waiting to make sure they would return home. And normally, it would happen near the middle of the night, and they would all get a few hours of sleep. Six o’five a.m. Still no sign of life.

On one of these evenings, the others loudly cheering woke her up with a twitch and a hiss of pain. She groaned, her hands on her plastron. “Hey Mama, are you asleep?” Mikey asked as he poked his head inside the room. She huffed in answer. What did he want? Couldn’t he see she was in pain and trying to sleep? “Perfect! Guys! She’s awake!” He shouted. She grunted in disapproval while soothing the babies who started tiredly whining. Mikey gave her a sheepish grin. “Whoops. Sorry babies.” He apologized only too late. She purposefully ignored the group of four huddling around the entrance as she picked the now awake baby, soothing him back to sleep with some slow rubs and nuzzles. Luckily, he hadn’t fully woken them up, so she wouldn’t have to deal with a baby who only slept half a night and would be as grouchy as she was. It happened only too often in her life. The others waited impatiently for her to be done before pulling on her shell. She grunted, turning herself a little more in the bed. “Come on, Mama, we wanna show you something.” Mikey insisted. He pulled some more, his feet scraping the blankets. “Nnng… You’re… heavy…” He breathed out. He paused, catching his breath. “Come on, help me out here. You’ll like it, I promise.” He said. “Tsh. Aight, come here.” Raph decided. He turned her to her back, and she glared at him. Rolling his eyes, he simply ignored it, grunting as he pulled her heavy weight with him. She sighed, relenting and placing her head on his shoulder. This better be good. “Well, what do you think?” Mikey asked him as he opened the door of the storage room next to the nest. This was… not a storage room anymore…

“I see my poison could use an upgrade. What do you think, hmm?” He didn’t answer. Not that he could, he was physically and spiritually drained. He couldn’t move an inch, couldn’t even blink. Drool was puddling under his cheek, his veins pulsing through his non-existent body. “Baxter, what did I tell you?” His Master! Oh, his Master would save him… right? “As I recall, you said this specimen was sent to me to help me with my tasks.” The scientist replied. “I have merely been testing a new product I am working on.” “I also told you not to kill it.” His Master said frustratingly. “Making specimens like that one is costly and requires time. And so far, none of them have been viable apart from this one.” “I did not kill it.” The scientist told him, its holographic eyes rolling. “Merely paralyzed.” One of the robot’s hands grabbed his wrist, lifting him up for emphasis. Even if he had the energy to fight it, none of his muscles were responding to him, making him flop and drool ungracefully in front of his Master before being dropped back to the floor like an overused tissue.

“Oh, not this creature.” He stood by the door, next to his Master. In front of him was who he couldn’t even consider human, standing in a large lab of sorts. He didn’t know what type of lab this was and he didn’t care. It wasn’t his place to ask. The robot stomped its way to them, with its large and round gray body and its multiple limbs. “I asked for two of your soldiers to help with menial tasks and you send me this atrocity?” It asked, its holographic human face showing visible disgust and anger while pointing aggressively towards them. “This… subpar lifeform?” “My soldiers are not for you to command, Stockman.” His Master told it. “This specimen will be able to do the work you require. Do not break it.” Before the scientist could answer, his Master turned to him. “Specimen, follow Baxter’s orders until my return.” He told him. “Yes, Master.” He replied with a low bow. By the time he stood back up, his Master was already gone, leaving him with the robot scientist. He made his way to it, standing behind it and waiting for orders. The robot sighed. “Why oh why do I have to be stuck with one of you meddlesome creatures?” It lamented. It turned back towards him, its feet loudly clanking on the floor. “You… specimen… was the worst experiment I’ve ever had the displeasure of helping create.” It continued. “You aren’t even worth scrapping my floors.” It said before waving him off. “Well? What are you waiting for? Go stack those boxes on those shelves! And please, stay away from my sight, so I don’t have to look at your disgusting face any longer.”

“Uh, maybe you shouldn’t sit so close to her.” The orange one suggested to the humans. “Right, I don’t want to scare her.” The female agreed as she scooted to another chair. “It’s not that, you just don’t want to be in the splash zone.” The purple one replied. “The what?” The male wondered. “You’ll see.” The orange one simply answered. The meal finally ready and fuming, she licked her lips at the smell. It looked like a mix of veggies and meat in a thin transparent sauce of sorts, and there were some dried noodles at the bottom. She didn’t care what it was, she wanted it. The moment she had her plate, she took a big handful of it, stuffing it inside her mouth. She loudly munched on the different ingredients, slurping and gurgling happily. “That’s what we meant.” The orange one concluded as she spilled some sauce around the table. Whoops. “I see. I’m guessing she doesn’t know how to use a fork, huh.” The female replied. “Oh no, she knows.” The purple one disagreed. She was handed one of those forks. Eeeeh, it wasn’t as useful as her hands, but… She took it, lowering her head and using the utensil to slide the food towards her, making the metal scrape against the ceramic of the plate in the process. The others cringed. “Yeah. That.” The orange one said.

“Come on, Leo, give it back already.” Mickey was whining. “You said I could have it back after the training.” “We’re about to go eat lunch.” Leo replied. “But it’s not even in the oven yet!” Mickey argued. “I have loads of time to finish that level!” Leo sighed. He handed the video game console back to Mickey as everyone sat at the table. Mickey happily giggled to himself as he flipped the power of his console on. Except… the console didn’t start. Confused, Mickey switched it back off and on. And again. And one more time. Nothing. A wave of dread passed through his face as he scrambled to try and find the problem. “No no no no no no no no…” He mumbled. “Come on, I just got that console! Don’t do this to me…” The others watched as he flipped the console around, opening the battery compartment… which was void of any battery. “Oh. Ha. Ha.” Mickey saltily said. “Very funny, Leo. Almost gave me a heart attack.” He leaned towards Leo, who was simply drinking his tea with a cup that was definitely not hiding a smirk of any kind. No no. “Give me back my batteries.” He asked. “I said I would give you the console back.” Leo responded. “I never said anything about batteries.”

“Good morning.” Don said. “Or I guess… A morning. I heard someone sick in the bathroom. Raph I presume?” Adam nodded. “M also hungover. In my room. Gave him headphones and goggles.” “Hmm, then maybe I could give Raph my own noise cancelling headphones.” Don mused. “They’re even more efficient since they were made to cut all sounds.” Adam tiredly nodded. “Are you okay?” Don asked him. “You look exhausted. Did you not sleep well?” Adam shrugged. “Couldn’t sleep.” “Well, maybe you should now. I don’t think we’ll be doing anything else for a bit.” Don stated. Adam shook his head again. It was fine.

She grunted as she sat on the bed, sighing as her legs finally gave her respite. The babies cooed as they joined her and the purple one crouched in front of her, massaging her ankles. “Hmm, it seems that knowing when to stop before exacerbating herself is also something she does not know how to do.” He said. “We’ll have to keep a closer eye on her health in the future. Especially in the next few months.” “Well, good thing she doesn’t really need to walk much.” The orange one replied. “I mean, she-” He paused mid sentence when she suddenly tensed, her nose sniffing the air. She could smell someone. Someone who wasn’t one of them. Someone who was a human. There was a human close to the lair, close to the nest. She left a series of growling chirps, warning them of the intruders in the hopes that they would take care of the threats. She couldn’t really do it herself while being pregnant, and she knew that at least some of them knew how to fight. She hoped anyway. “What’s wrong, mama?” The purple one wondered. “Is someone coming?” “I hear them too.” The blue one added, a hand on the handle of his blade. “Wait, is it that time already?” The orange one asked. He jogged to the outside of the nest, looking down towards the first floor. “I think it’s them!”

Right.” Don acquiesced. “Were they too big to give here?” He wondered as he eyed the room now void of unopened gifts. “Somethin’ like that.” Raph answered. He stood up, making his way to the stairs. “Come on.” “Something upstairs?” Don asked as he followed him and Raph up, the others behind them. “I don’t think I need a new bedroom like Adam got.” He chuckled. “New? Nan. But improved? Shell yeah.” Raph answered. He entered the room, quickly followed by the others. Don went to open the light, but Adam stopped him. The others huddle in the semi-darkness, looking around in questioning. “So… why are we standing in the dark?” Mickey wondered. “Are we about to get attacked by another fake monster?” Adam shook his head. He gently coaxed Don near a power outlet next to his bed. From it was a single cable, going up towards the ceiling, with a switch mid height through it. Adam waved at it. “What is that?” Don asked. He carefully flipped the switch before staring at the ceiling.

Mickey looked around with a wondering hum before pointing at a small bag. “This one.” Adam picked it up, handing it to Leo. This was one of his gifts. Leo dug through the bag, pulling out a few thin and simple candles. He looked at them with a questioning hum before sniffing them. His eyes slowly opened. “I know that smell.” He said in a low voice. “It’s…” He looked at Adam, and Adam could see his eyes were glistening. “Where did you get these?” He asked, his voice slightly quivering. “Chief?” Don asked worryingly. Instead of answering, Leo handed him one of the candles before bringing the others back to his nose to get more of their fragrance. “I feel like I’ve smelled that before.” Don stated. “Where was it though?” “Can I try?” Mickey asked. Don gave the candle to Raph, who smelled it before giving it to Mickey. Mickey frowned. “Yeah I definitely know that smell.” He said. “It’s… old. Is it…” Understanding crossed his eyes and he glanced between Leo and Adam. “What?” Don asked. “This is the same candle Master Splinter always used in his room.” Leo murmured. “Whenever we were troubled and went into his bedroom for guidance, this was always the candles he would lit for us. He never used them outside of the room. After he… I tried to find what type of candle it was, but there was no label or anything. He never told us what scent it was. I didn’t think I would ever…”

The meal went by without a hitch, and she was given a mix of rice, meat and vegetables, as well as a bowl of something they called yogurt. She tasted both. They were both great. …If two were great, would a mix of them be even better? Only one way to find out. “Eeeww…” The orange one cringed as he stared at the blob of sugary yogurt mixing up with some of the rice. What? She’d only done it in a corner, and- Oh, it did taste good! Who would’ve thought! Okay, now the others could comment if they wanted to because now she was mixing the rest of it up together to eat them at once. The orange one made a face, switching to consideration, before taking a bit of her food. Then the cringe returned to his face and he promptly stepped away from the meal. More for her then.

She squealed with a laugh, wiggling in his arms as if trying to jump again on her own. “Mmmmmng… You’re loud…” Mickey mumbled behind him. Loud, he said? Adam quietly made his way to him with his bundle of joy. Mickey was halfway wrapped by the blankets, his head almost falling from the bed. Adam deposited Ellie right next to his ear, and she wasted no time in announcing her presence. “Mackee!” She shouted, slapping his beak for good measure. “Ack!” Mickey scrambled in surprise before falling face first on the floor. Adam lifted him by the shell before replacing him on the bed. “…Ow…” Mickey grumbled. “Were you trying to send me a message?” “Is birthday today.” Adam answered.

He pulled out what looked like weird looking dumplings, aligning them on wooden slabs before placing them on the table. He got a general wave of confusion as he placed them near the rest of the food. “Dumplings?” Don asked. “This doesn’t look very pizza related…” Mickey added unsurely. “Did you tell him that it needed to be?” Leo wondered. “I guess not, but normally you make things that go along with the meal.” Mickey answered. “Is pizza.” Adam assured them. “This?” Raph asked. Adam nodded. “That’s not pizza.” Mickey told him. “D’a fight yesterday gave ya brain damage?” Raph asked. “This ain’t nothin’ like pizza.” “Yeah! Pizza’s round, or rolled, or flat, with bunches of cheese and fat!” Mickey agreed. Adam knowingly waved at them to take some. Truthfully, he’d tasted one, but since he didn’t like pizza in general, he really wasn’t sure this one they would like. He was really hoping they would however. Mickey carefully picked one up, smelling it. Poking his tongue on it only gave him the taste of the dough on the outside, so it was with great hesitation that he finally took a tiny bite… …And then promptly scarfed the rest of the piece in one go. “Hmm!” He approved. “It is pizza! I thought you were just messing with us.” “What?” Raph exclaimed. “How can a dumplin’ be pizza? It ain’t even cooked in da oven!”

“There! All clean!” The orange one exclaimed. “Down you go. You can go play or sleep or whatever, you’re free, little girl! Free!” The baby cooed before squirming towards her brothers. She helped her baby over the edge of the bed, plopping herself in front of the three of them. She poked each of their little beaks, making them giggle. And… one baby… two babies… three babies… … …Cat? Where was the cat? She lifted her head, scanning the room. Cat? Caaaat? A half grunt half chirp escaped her mouth, one she sometimes used to call her family to her. Her three turtle babies responded with rumbles as they glued herself to her, but still no cat. She lifted herself higher, calling again. The male turtles started looking around too. Oh, there it was! Running between the males’ legs and into the room again. “Wha-?
