This is April O'Neil. I need...someone. Have to diffuse this bomb. Please. I'm at the playground. And--just keep the kids away. God, don't let any of them near the playground, okay?

[The Malnosso have finally returned April O'Neil, bruised up and battered and wrapped in what looks like a vest of charges and wires. There is a timer attached to it,

This is like the worst thing ever. I've been through a lot of worst things, but this one? This is the worst. The worst of the worst.

[She leans her head on her hands.]

[bearingevil]

[Sanosuke takes the seat next to April once she's settled in, letting out a short sigh.]

Yeah, but you got through it. As much as the whole thing sucks, that's what really counts. A lot of people wouldn't have been able to hold it together like you did, you know?

[after_march]

That was the duct tape. Not me.

[OOC: Turtles tag in now?]]

[meanandgreen]

[Have one furious Raphael barreling through the door so fast it swings open slams the wall behind it.]

April!

[bearingevil]

You're not giving yourself enough credit, Red.

[That's about all he manages to get out though, before suddenly the door slams open. Sanosuke immediately is on his feet, fists clenched at his side as he looks at the guy--who turns out to be a kappa?

Okay, so that's weird. But the kappa is shouting for April, and Sano doesn't know if that's good or bad. So he'll be the one stepping forward, keeping inbetween the giant turtle and the woman sitting on the couch.]

Who the hell are you?!

[meanandgreen]

Who the hell am I!? [Raph goes to shove this moron out of his way and try to get a better look at April.] Where's the bomb!?

[i_speak_softly]

[While Raph does what he does best and keeps the possible-assailant busy, Don will skirt around them both to see if April is okay.]

April, the bomb...

[after_march]

[April was somehow on her feet when all the craziness erupted, but somehow Don's searching look cuts through it. She reaches out for him.] It's gone. Daisy cut it off me. It's over.

[i_speak_softly]

[Ignoring the brawl behind him in favor of looking April over.] Who's Daisy?

[after_march]

Don? [April looks alarmed.] Wait--wait. [She tries to get past him over to where Raph and Sano are being IDIOTS.]

[honorthecode]

[And Leo is there as well, giving Sano a suspicious look, and moving over to where April is.

Are you all right April? [He'll glance once again at the brawling however]

[after_march]

Leo! [April gives him a quick hug. Sometimes Leo being there just made everything seem safer, more in control. Unless Leo was off taking on the entire Foot Clan and being dumped through the skylight of her apartment, but--details.] We have to stop Raph and Sano! They're...Sano was helping me!

[honorthecode]

[Leo's relieved enough to give her a hug back. Just a quick one though and back to business.]

He was helping you?

[i_speak_softly]

[What is this 'we', April? Don will move to block you, while pushing Leo towards the fray.] April, don't get in the middle of that. Leo, you stop them.

[after_march]

[Blocked, April can only stand back and watch.]

WILL YOU TWO PLEASE CUT IT OUT!?

[i_speak_softly]

[Totally unbothered by the throwdown taking place behind him.] April, who is that guy? He doesn't look like a Daisy.
