After a week of begging Nerine was finally allowed to go on an outing with the boys. Just like any dog she hates being inside all the time she just needed something to do. The deal of her going out with them is to stay out of sight and stay out of trouble until she can get some training in. Which thanks to Raph she got to join in morning training as well. Raph found her messing around in the Dojo, she wasn’t doing anything special just punching the punching bag or doing balance practice. She was pretty good at these little moves so he talked to Master Splinter and they both agreed it would be a good idea. Tonight they were out to get some equipment Donnie needed to get started on helping Nerine with her amnesia. What he needed was something to read her brain waves while he asked her questions but he just didn’t have what he needed in the lab. The plan was to steal what they need from a man named Bishop since it was to dangerous to bring Nerine near The Foot. 

“Donnie this has too be one of the stupidest ideas we could ever have!” Raph said looking at Bishop’s compound. Too Nerine it just looked like a huge business building but from how the guys were talking she was wrong. 

“I know but what choice do we have? If we want to help Nerine we need that equipment” Donnie replied looking up from his laptop. From what Nerine could understand Donnie is trying to hack into the security system so it’ll be easier to get in without being seen. She knew the plan and thought it over and over in her head but her only job was to stick to Raph like glue. “Remind me again why we have to get it from here? I mean can’t you find what you need at the dump like you usually do or build it from scrap metal?” Mikey asked as he was hanging upside down on the water tower ladder. “Because nobody just throws out that kind of stuff Mikey” Leo answered. “And it would take me months to make that from scrap” Donnie added still typing away. “Guess you have a point but what are we really looking for?” Mikey asked hoping down from the ladder. “Donnie knows that’s all I need to know” Raph answered. Nerine looked at Donnie to catch a little blush land on his cheeks, she’s been noticing this for a while now. The way Donnie would look at Raph while he was working out or playing video games with Mikey. She even noticed the way Raph looked at Donnie when he isn’t looking. He would smirk when he watched him work in his lab or just watch his steps as he did his training. She wondered if they knew about each others feelings but right now it isn’t the time to think about it. She looked at Shi’s Raph gave her for protection and started to feel nervous about this whole thing. She was unsure of herself, she was worried she would mess up the whole mission somehow. She closed her eyes to calm her nerves, to tell herself to trust herself and her friends she was snapped out of her thoughts by a hand landing on her shoulder. she looked to see Raph with a calm look on his face. 

“It’ll be alright Nerine just stick with me and we’ll be fine” he said then she nodded. Before she could say anything a beeping noise came from Donnie’s laptop. “HA! Yes! I got it let’s get going!” Donnie smirked as he closes the laptop and shoves it in his bag. “Finally!” Mikey smirked. “Don’t worry Nerine if anything happens just bark and we’ll come to get you” he added as he and Leo jump from one roof to the roof of the compound. “Uh… Mikey Wolves can’t bark” She said as she jumps with Raph and Donnie. “What you can’t?! How does that work? OW” Mikey said before getting hit on the side of the head. When they got onto the roof there was a large outdoor air vent right next to a large sky light window. Within a minute Donnie was able to get the grate off the vent and set it aside. Looking at the vent Nerine knew they had to go one at a time because of the drop, it was kind of like a slide. She wondered if the guys knew where they would end up when they jumped down. 
“Okay I’ll go first wait for my signal then come down” Leo said as he walked up to the vent. “Be careful Leo” Nerine said watching him climb into the vent feet first before sliding down it ignoring her warning. After a few seconds they heard a loud BANG meaning he broke a grate of another vent as he slid down. Raph growled at the noise though Nerine couldn’t really think of why, then again the bang was LOUD. A few seconds went by before they heard the tapping of metal on metal which one would guess was Leo’s sword hitting the side of the open vent. “Okay Nerine you first” Donnie said turning to her. “Leo will catch you” he added. She nodded as she walked up to the vent she looked down to see nothing but darkness seeing it made her head hurt again but she acted like it wasn’t there. Something about all of this seemed…. off. She jumped down the vent feet first without a second thought whatever the feeling was in the back of her mind didn’t matter she had to focus on the mission at hand. The vent was dark and cold against her skin as she slid down but when she got to the second vent Leo wasn’t there as she entered the room. She landed in a kneel position right under the vent so much for Leo catching her. She looked around to find him kneeling by a window looking into a hallway which was lighting up the room slightly. She moved towards him as she heard somebody sliding down the vent. She rather not be crushed by whoever it is. She kneeled down on the other side of Leo to check down the other side of the wall so Leo didn’t have to turn his head. It took a minute or two but the rest of gang was down the vent and into the room, Raph kneeled behind Hailey while Donnie and Mikey were beside Leo. Once they saw the hall was clear they all left the room and dashed down the hall. Donnie was using his Shell-phone to find the way they needed to go while Nerine thought over the plan in her head. The plan was simple enough, one team will go to the medical wing of the building and get what they need while the other distracts the guards that are in the lab if there were any. Leo and Donnie were on the first team and Raph Mikey and Nerine were on the second. Donnie said the stuff wasn’t all that heavy so it would make sense that he would only need one other person. Nerine looked around the hall as they ran she noticed some weird lines on the floor, walls and ceiling making a prefect square then there was another one a few feet down the hall. ‘That’s odd’ she thought to herself as they ran down another hall hearing foot steps coming towards them. 

“We’re getting close!” Donnie said as he looked away from his phone to look at everybody behind him. 
“Good that means we’re almost done” Raph smirked and Nerine noticed that blush on Donnie’s face again. She made a note to ask about that later. All of a sudden Leo stopped. 
“Guys against the wall” he whispered as pushed his back into the wall. the group did the same just before Leo pecked his head around the corner right there was a set of two doors just above it in big blue letters read ‘Medical Wing’. Two men covered in black uniforms and large guns in their hands stand just outside of the doors. 
“We need a distraction” Leo whispered while turning to the four. “Mikey you’re up” He added nodding his head towards the men. Mikey smirked as he pulled a small black ball from his bag. Nerine looked at him in confusion as he rolls the ball across the floor toward the men. When it rolled between the two men they looked down at it with confusion as they did a small POP with a cloud of dark smoke came from the ball blinding them. Nerine watched as Mikey quickly got up and ran into the smoke. All you could hear was a few smacks and groans. When the smoke cleared the men were on the ground unconscious and Mikey was tying them up. 
“How is that a distraction Knucklehead?” Raph asked standing up. “They didn’t see us” Mikey replied watching his brothers and Nerine walk up to him. “Clearly you need to learn the definition of the word ‘Distraction’ dofus” Donnie said walking past Mikey and through the doors. When they walked in this ‘Wing’ was just a huge room with a few beds on one side of the room and a much of medical equipment and machines around or on the other side of the room. 
“Okay… a medical wing is like… a hospital right? and from what you told me those are suppose to be big this looks almost like Donnie’s lab you know without the cool tech” Nerine commented looking around. “Well Bishop likes to mess with mutations so it doesn’t surprise me that the medical wing isn’t what it really is.” Raph replied to her as he walked over to one of the machines. “Wait…. he mutates the men that get hurt in battles?! How screwed up is this guy?” She asked in complete shock. “Trust us you don’t want to know” Leo answered.Nerine opened her mouth to say something but closed it not wanting to know anymore about the creep. “Guys we don’t have a lot of time here let’s just grab what we need and get out of here” Donnie said looking through the cupboards. Nerine looked around to see all of them were taking more then just the equipment. Leo was grabbing the blankets and pillows from the beds while Mikey was grabbing the first aid kits he found in a cupboards. Donnie was grabbing any small machinery he could get his hands on Nerine could never guess what it would be for. Finally Raph was just looking around like he was looking for something special but she doubted he even knew what he was looking for.
“Donnie? Is this the helmet thing you were looking for?” He asked pointing to a silver metal helmet that sat on a counter. Donnie quickly got up and walked over to take a look which a second later he smiled. “Great job Raph you found it!” he said happily as he picked it up and stuffed it in his back. “That’s what I’m here for” Raph smirked making Nerine remember to talk to them later. “Okay we got what we need it’s time to-“ Leo was cut off by the sound of an alarm. “Oh shell they know I hacked them!” Donnie said in a panic. “Time to make like a banana and split” Mikey said running towards the doors then everybody followed. The five ran down the halls not needing to be sneaking around anymore. As they ran towards the lab they came in from they could hear loud foot steps and voices. Nerine smelled the air to find eight different scents following them. “Eight of them are tailing us all male” She informed the Turtles as they grew closer to the lab. “You can tell all of that just by smelling the air? Fascinating” Donnie says looking back at her. She caught movement down the hall making her look up. Down the hall the weird lines were opening? 
‘Why would they open like that? unless… no’ She watched a wall like thing come out of the holes she had to think fast since one was about to close on Donnie as they got closer. She picked up her speed and pushed Donnie down the hall then she grabbed onto Raph making him stop just as the metal slammed into the floor making a wall. She was happy she got there in time but now her and Raph were stuck in enemy territory. 
“Whoa…. Good call” Raph said turning to her. “Thank you but what do we do now? They are getting closer!” She panicked. She watched as a smirk appeared on his face. “Now we have some fun” He answered while pulling out his shi’s from his belt. She copied him by pulling out her shi’s, she only had a bit of practice with them so hopefully she can protect herself. She watches the eight men come running the hair on the back of her neck stands up when she sees the guns in their hands. She wondered if the shi’s they have will be enough. Her question was answered pretty fast when she watched Raph run towards them and kick three men to the floor. She followed Raph’s lead and did the same when she got the three men down one of the others tried to hit her with his gun which she blocked using the shi’s. She kicked the guy in the stomach sending him towards the wall. Right before she went to knock him out a loud voice from down the hall caught her attention all the voice said was ‘enough’ and the men stopped attack but not before Raph knocked one of them out. The man was wearing a black tux with a black tie, he was about 6 feet tall with black hair and his eyes were covered from his sun glasses. 
‘Who in the hell wears sunglasses in doors… at night?!’ Nerine thought. When she caught his scent it made her uneasy she did not like this guy one bit. 
“Hello Raphael it’s good to see you” The man spoke his voice was rusty and firm but she could hear slight annoyance in his voice. “Well the feeling isn’t mutual Bishop” Raph growled bringing his shi’s up ready to attack. The man took his glasses off showing brown eyes staring at Nerine. She let out a small growl as a warning not liking how he was staring at her. 
“Interesting, Wolf ears and tail but still human clearly you’re not a mutant are you the life form I saved?” He asked still staring at her. “Saved? What do you mean you saved me? Do you know who I am?! Where I come from?! Answer me!” Nerine snapped pointing her shi at him. 
“You have amnesia? Hmm the fall might have something to do with that” He thought out loud ignoring most of her questions. Nerine got annoyed with being ignored that she couldn’t control her emotions. She ran towards him hearing Raph call her name as she turned into her wolf form on the way, She tackled him to the ground and stood on his chest baring her teeth and growling in his face. The two men still standing pointed their guns at her ready to shoot but Bishop held up his hand stopping them he seemed unfazed by her attack. 
“Answer me now! Do you know who I am?!” She growled out surprising everybody in the room that she could speak in that form. 
“No I don’t know you but what I do know is you give off such a powerful wave of energy my portal device opened as you were falling off a cliff in a different dimension” He explained as calmly as he could. 
“I.. I fell off a cliff? AH!” just then there was a sharp pain in her head when she closed her eyes she saw a shadowy figure holding her by only her right arm over a cliff. Behind the figure was a village being burned she felt the heat just before hearing the wind blow loudly past her ears then…. nothing. When her eyes opened she was back in the white hallway no longer over top of Bishop but just beside him. She growled at him again as he sat up. “I wont do you or Raphael any harm but what you can do to repay me for saving you is giving me a simple of your DNA” He smirked at Nerine. She remembered back at the lair Donnie told her he wanted to make an unstoppable army with clones of the turtles or anything just as powerful as them. 
“No way Nutjob! I am not giving anything to you! I know what you would do with it and I have no interest in you having clones of me!” even in wolf form everybody knew she was angry by the hair on her back standing up. “Then I will take it by force Guards grab her!” Bishop snapped pointing his finger at her. “Raph time to go!” she said turning to Raph before taking off down the hall. “I hate running away from a fight!” Raph snapped as he followed her as the guards fired shots at them. As they ran Raph pulled out his shell cell. “Donnie! How do we get out of here?!” he shouted into the phone. “The front door is your only option now from where you are you have to take the elevator down to the first floor we’re outside in the battle shell ready to pick you up” Donnie explained. The two ran towards the Elevator losing the men behind them as best they can. Raph threw a throwing star breaking the down button.
“Good shot but we’re on the eighth floor! It’s not going to be right there!” Nerine asked. “Then we fight until it gets here!” he answered as he slid to a stop turning towards the hall weapons at the ready. They were a lot faster then the men so it would take them a few seconds before catching up to them. Just as Nerine was about to turn back to human the doors to the elevator opened (Yay convenience!).
“Turtle luck at it’s finest” Raph smirked jumping into the elevator. 
“Oh shut up!” Was Nerine’s reply doing the same. Shots were fired into the elevator making the two back into the walls. “Push the button already Raph!” He did just that then pushed the close doors button. The elevator finally closed and was on the way down giving the two a break for a minute but the fun wasn’t over yet. When the doors opened again they were surprised to not see anybody but even with that luck they ran towards the front doors just to be safe. They spotted the Battle shell right away and high tailed towards it. The Battle Shell was a tricked out armoured car that the turtles took from The Purple Dragons on the very first night they went topside. It was actually Mikey’s idea to trip it out with all kinds of weapons and nitro, Donnie was the poor Turtle that had to do most of the work making it. Well almost Raph did help a lot. The colour on the other hand was ALL Donnie’s idea and Nerine liked it, it just pulled everything together. Just as they got outside the buildings weapons kicked in and started to shoot at them, red and blue lasers shot at them but would hit the ground as they dodged. Nerine watched as the Battle Shell’s lasers were activated shooting back at the building giving them cover. Pieces of the building that the Battle Shell hit started to fall hitting the ground the Battle Shell and fortunately the laser canons on the building. 
“A whole pizza says it’s Mikey’s bad aiming” Raph chuckled.
“Oh come on he can’t be that bad” Nerine replied. As they got closer back of the Battle Shell open to show Leo standing there. “Come on hurry up you two! We need to get out of here!” He shouted. Raph was the first to jump into the back he moved out of the way so Nerine would have room as she jumped in. Leo closed the doors and they drove off in a break neck speed. Donnie who was the one driving was taking every twist and turn he could take, Nerine guessed it was just in case anybody was following them. When they finally got to the warehouse and down to the lair they all got to relax. They all sat in the living room that’s when she and Raph told the others what happened after the wall came to be also the memory Nerine regained even if it was a very small piece. The guys were relived that she wasn’t a mutant just a being from another dimension. Nerine on the other hand was worried about that shadowy figure. Who is it? Why would they try to kill her? And most of all would they try to find her and would they hurt her friends? At that very moment she made a decision, she would train hard with the Turtles and work hard to get her memories back so she could repay them and most of all protect them if anything from her past comes back to bite her. She turned her head to look at the Turtles after a second she smiled seeing Leo and Mikey cuddling in a big bean bag chair by the couch while Donnie and Raph sat next to each other on the couch. Donnie on his laptop and Raph watching sports carefully sneaking looks at each other when they weren’t looking. Nerine owed her life to these guys maybe she could start with helping Donnie and Raph’s relationship. 

Just maybe
