April

Kraang surrounding us. That's the last thing I remember before blacking out. Later, I wake up lying on the couch in the lair. Donnie hovers over me, wrapping up my leg.

"You're awake!" He says with a gap-toothed smile.

I groan and rub my eyes. "What exactly happened?" I ask, noticing several bruises and numb spots on my body.

"You took a blast to the shoulder and leg. If these Kraang had better aim, they would've got your heart." Don explains. "When you fell, you broke your ankle as well."

"No wonder I feel like a dog's chew toy." I joke, pushing my bangs out of my face. "

At that moment, Mikey bursts in, carrying a box of pizza. I lean over and quickly grab it for myself.

"Hey, a turtles needs some dinner." Mikey complains, snatching it back after I take a slice. I grin, then backtrack for a second. The fight was at dawn.

"Wait, did you say dinner? How long have I been asleep?" I shout, looking at my watch.

"Somewhere around thirty hours." Mikey responds, cheese dripping down his face. That messy eater.
After we split the pizza, Raph and Leo walk in, returning from their night patrol.

"Mikey, Donnie, let's go. We can't be late for night sessions with Splinter." Leo says, checking the time on his T-phone.
"See ya later" Don says hurriedly, grabbing his bo staff and running towards the dojo.

"Wait up!" I shout, pulling myself up with a nearby chair. The pain was excruciating, but I'm not gonna admit that.
I just inwardly wince and hobble along. "I already missed 4 sessions."

"April, you are in no way fit for even walking. You just gotta sit this one out." Don says, giving a sympathetic smile.

"Oh, come on." I complain, plopping myself back down on the couch.

"Sorry April, but you're pretty busted up." Raph gives a half-hearted apology.

Moments later, after they have already left, I stand back up and head to the dojo. I use the chair as my walker, and make it to there in a few minutes. I look through a small window and watch as the turtles spar. If I can't train for combat, I might as well watch and try to learn something.

As I observe the match, I remember I don't have my fan. The last time I saw it was at the battle. As I'm considering this, I miss the end of the match. I can still guess who won though. Raph doing fist bumps and trash-talking is a bit of a clue.
