New Beginnings *Six years later* (December) *Hamato Clan*

to find beds for the injured lined up.


Mikey moving towards Judith, with grin to see Donnie and Leonardo among Jumba, April and Casey. " ready to come down little lady?"


April and Casey head towards the blade first to help out whoever was driving that one, Donnie, Jumba and Leo moving towards the truck to help out and down the various people Donnie moving towards Dwight and Sherry at once, " Lilo sent a message ahead saying you might need more intensive care Dwight, may I carry you out of the truck to the wheelchair and I will personally see you to our ct scanner?" Because the machine was actually the metal detectors that were part of the original police station redesigned by himself and Jumba to look into more than just x raying for metal pieces. But he doesn't go into explaining that a smile at Sherry.



Leonardo smiles at Dieair, " thank you for so willingly going out immediately to help our extended family of the Treetops." a bow of his head towards the female and then he respectively moves past towards Daryl and Michonne just as Stitch is finishing up and smearing the last smear of the healing goop over the wound before putting a piece of gauze over it. " Most sorry to hear about your community and losses, we feel them too greatly, would you like a hand out?' He will address the weary community of people more formerly once they were all settled, for now to get them to the hastily added to infirmary floor so all the TreeToppers could remain close for a little while.


Jumba was lining up the less hurt from the vehicles as the Pigsty gates close behind the last car to arrive. " we will be heading to a place to rest and recuperate shortly there will be food and drink and a place to sleep."

Sherry gave a thankful smile to Donnie. I don't think he can hear anything, I doubt he's aware of what's going on right now. He's in bad shape. SHe said trying to hold back the tears.

We have to get him some place for Mikko to give him blood quickly. Laz too.

Michonne climbed out the back of the truck and looked around. She didn't like what she saw. It was a police station, a jail. The sleeping quarters were probably cells. She didn't want to judge to quickly but she also didn't like the idea of her people being held up in cells. She wouldn't voice this...yet. Michonne would wait to see where they would actually stay first before jumping to conclusions.

Reaching back into the truck she helped Daryl out then lent a hand in helping LAz out.

Laz was able to stand with help, but he was weak and wouldn't be able to walk very far.

Gabe stared in awe, slightly fearful, but tried not to let that show. He finally hopped out of the truck and helped Mikko before shifting his attention to the troll once again.

"Yeah, we may need some help, got a few badly injured..." He told her, unaware that the Turtles were currently seeing to those in the back.

"You, uh.... you don't eat people, do you? We've already had a pretty bad day... not tryin' to be rude...I'm Gabe, by the way..."


Judith gave a nod and reached out for Mikey to help her down, taking in the place once on her feet. She wasn't sure where they would be staying, but the main thing was they were safe, and those injured would receive the treatment they needed.

The goop had kept Dwight from succumbing to his injuries, slowing the brain swelling, but be was in need of blood. He had lost conciousness a half hour before reaching their destination, and would be unable to hear those trying to help him.

Glenn was quite proud of himself, having made it to their destination without incident. Driving the roadblade had been fun, and kept his mind from the heavy that he would eventually have to face. Their home was gone...Carl was gone..

He finally climbed from the vehicle, greeting April and Casey with a nod..

"There's a few injured in here. Abby is probably the worst, she lost her hand..but Ztitch took care of it...." And he started assisting Lexi and Maggie with unloading the kids...

..but the moment that Lexi was free of assisting with children, she gave Kai firm orders to stay by Maggie's side, and rushed off to find Laz, to make sure that he had made the trip...

"Laz!" She called out to him the moment she saw him, breathing a huge sigh of relief.


Daryl wiped at his tears, and gave a small nod at Leo before allowing assistance from both Leo and Michonne out of the back of the truck. It hurt to stand, but he was ready to assist with the rest of the injured if needed.

Dieair gave a light chuckle at Gabe's question. In my world Eating humans is not unheard of. But we are all friends here so you have nothing to worry about. Though you do look tasty. And my name is Dieair. She was teasing him of course. Maybe now wasn't the time for that kind of fun but she couldn't help herself. Dieair looked over to the kids, and spotted Kai. The poor boys back was badly injured and he was shivering in the cold. The troll excused herself and walked up to the young boy. She knelt down to his level and took out a small bottle of orange paste.

Hello young one. Dis is a paste from the firebloom fire from my land. It will stop the bleeding and pain on your back and help with healing. She then pulled a fur shawl from around her shoulders and placed it over Kai's shoulders to help warm him.

Maggie assisted with the children keeping them all close. Abby was awake now and crying about her missing hand. She blamed Sherry for this. IF she wasn't left in that bush then she wouldn't have been bitten! Maggie turned to Dieair when she walked up to Kai. she was nervous about the large troll but it seemed she wanted to help. Still she wasn't letting her guard down. Can it help it her too? MAggie asked motioning to Abby.

Dieair looked over at the crying girl and then gave a nod. Yes, This will stop her bleeding and help stop her pain too.



Hearing Lexi Laz looked over and gave a weak smile at her. Yeah, I'm...Still alive..Don't know..how.

Donatello nods and scoops the guy up trusting the ladies words and carrying him out - though he hesitates a little, Mikko....


He recalled her and her child - though he keeps his voice fairly neutral and not hinting at the bit of disgust. " isss that a good idea though I mean last time we knew Mikko it was in the Mall and she had eaten someone alive out the back of it and her son too had eater people..." though he is curious and plenty willing to trust this woman if she explains why. Carrying Dwight there for to the set up infirmary, easily as if to him the full grown ill man weighed as much as a child... and well to him he did.


The infirmary is homey looking for an police head quarters infirmary, and the blinds had all been let down, a small team of learning medics were there to help Don smiles at one a youth of a boy lean and short but with bright inquisitive eyes. " I wanted to take this man down to our remodelled scanner but perhaps you could bring the more mobile one from the store rooms? and a transfusion kit, no blood just a person to person one." he was trusting in Sherry but she had to give her a reason to allow it before taking matters to a more mutation variety of life saving procedures. his eyes are brown and gentle and no longer required the glasses since being with Casey and April.

Mikko had heard Donnie's concerns and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. but then she frowned remembering that her son was lost somewhere. As soon as things settled down she was going to go out and find him.

So you remember me. I'm flattered but you don't have to worry. She told the turtle. I don't eat too many people anymore. And as for my son, I don't know where he is. He was kidnapped and Now I don't know who has him if anyone.But uh... Thanks to Deadpool My blood has healing properties So lets get our boys a transfusion quick.

Sherry and Mikko went with Don and Dwight. The women sure that the others could handle Laz and bring him in as well. Sherry nodded at what Mikko said and hoped that they listened to the her.

Mikey smiles and gives Judith a gentle push once down and on her feet towards Leo, " wanna help a fellow Leader get your people comfortable and make sure their safe?" because he was sure she would and it would help her keep busy, not distract her from grief and sadness and loss but keep her busy and feel like she was helping and of course she would be, her hurting scared and also grieving community. It would be good for her and them.


He meanwhile moved to scoop up Laz, with a friendly, " Hey dude I'll help ya to a bed." does just that.

If you had told him before the apocalypse that he would be getting carried off to bed by one of the turtles, Laz would have laughed you off. As a former Foot solder he was sworn to get rid of the turtles. Something he never agreed with. But here he was being carted off by the youngest of their group.

He was thankful and let his body finally rest.

Though he was being made comfortable he still hoped that he was reunited with his son, daughter and wife soon.

Those unable to walk were carried into the hastily set up but still in Leonardo's opinion considering the emergency, it was well spaced, everything was tidy and all the bedding, a mix of home made and recycled bedding gathered from holding cells and or old furniture in the headquarters here.


Leonardo smiles around at his people, these are a mix of new and those not wanting to live in the community itself. " thank you, all of you... for preparing this space so quickly and being here." he takes the moment to just appreciate the people he was leading. Then back to the more sad and serious, he had not scooped up Daryl though the instinct was to do so, and he'd definitely encouraged Judith to lead the able to walk of her people into this makeshift infirmary.


There was small pots of sunflowers scattered about the place and hastily erected but neatly so separation curtains for needed privacy. Jugs of water waited on a old mail trolley with cups, like everything else of the community a mix of recycled stuff they had found or community grown and crafted bamboo ones.


Leonardo is gently directing Daryl over to a bed of his own, there are a couple of repaired and rebuilt wheelie chairs around each of the beds for peoples families. He'll address the hurting people once their all settled.


For now he waits watching.

April and Casey helping Glenn out and the kids listen to Lex explain and April looks over as Dieair offers some help for the child, she studies the arm and hummms, " Let Donnie and Jumba have a look at that later they might be able to work up a artificial limb, Stitch might be able to help... come on lets go and get comfy and settle with your other peoples, ooo Casey seen if Jumba needs a hand with those two..." nodding for her mostly human husband towards Joker and the woman. Ushering her lot towards the infirmary behind Laz and Mikey, Leo and Daryl.


~


Jumba waddled towards Joker and Ally, his huge many eyes blinking at them, [coor=#8B008B]" aaare either of you de hurtz? Come come come rest and recover with the others."[/color]

Judith gave a nod at Mikey, her tired gaze fixating on her people, all equally exhausted. Some severely injured. Some sad and heartbroken. Some afraid.

"We should all move inside. Rest up...take care of our injured.. " Pushing through her own heartbreak, her wisdom beyond her years. She watched as her group took her suggestion, moving into the infirmary to form a whole....

She tried to help everyone get settled. Tried to convince Abby that she would be okay with just one hand. At least she still had her life, and her adoptive parents. Though, Dwight wasn't doing too good.

Once she had done all that she could do for everyone, she moved over to where Dwight had been taken. There seemed to be debate on Mikko's ability to help. She wasn't sure if it was due to the fact that Mikko had eaten people in the past, or if there was doubt that her blood could help. She had never given a transfusion before, so who knew what would happen to Dwight. One thing was for certain, if something wasn't done soon, Dwight would die.

"We've lost too many tonight. Do whatever you think will save him...Abby lost her hand, she needs her dad." She and Abby had hardly ever gotten along, but she didn't want the girl to lose her father. There has been enough heartbreak tonight.

Glenn and Gabriel with the help of Maggie made sure the little ones made it safely into the infirmary. Kai, clinging to the backpack of puppies, was hesitant of rhe Troll's help at first, but have in with thanks.

Daryl slowly made his way into the infirmary, each step excruciating. He tried to hide his discomfort, but the limping made it obvious. He reluctantly took one of the beds, but did not lay down just yet...his tired gaze searching the group of kids for Sandy...

...and Lexi was quick to collect her kids, then joined her husband, placing their sleeping daughter beside him.

"Do you need anything?" She asked him.

Kai finally placed the heavy backpack on the floor, unzipping and releasing the pups.


Ally was still unsure if they had done the right thing, but soon they arrived at a community. And they were quickly greeted by something with many eyes, asking if rvey were hurt.

After the shock wore off, she shook her head, sparing a glance at the Joker, unsure if they should exit the vehicle....

Unable to hear any of the happenings, Noah was scared. He clung closely to his mother's side as his father carried his injured brother, moving them to one of the beds. He was relieved to see his beloved wolf, Athena, who was quick to greet him with unheard whimpers and excited tail wags.The little boy wrapped his arms around his furry companion, hugging her tightly.

Glenn gestured Maggie to the bed, knowing she needed to rest. She was pregnant, after all! "Can I get you anything?" He asked, still holding their injured son.

"Heh...yeah, I mean...I ain't actually done it before, only watched you with my niece and nephew.. " He told his sister in law. He still wasn't ready to relinquish his precious daughter from his arms, but maybe for a couple of seconds....

He reluctantly offered the new sleepy bundle to Erica...

"Demo?"

Gabe watched as Judith so skillfully comforted her people. He had a lot of admiration for the little one. She definitely had leadership running through her veins.

Once the children were dispersed to their parents, he chose to stay with those that could not be reunited with theirs just yet. Abby, whose father was clinging to life, and Evelyn. The little girl had lost her father, and was unaware, blissfully sleeping while her mother was off, potentially saving Dwight's life. He tucked her into the bed, then turned his attention to Abby, sitting her on the bed, enough room if she chose to rest, too.

"How you holdin' up, kiddo?" He asked, taking a seat beside her. He knew that she was unaware of the condition of her dad. Hopefully it would stay that way until he improved...if he improved...

"Sorry you lost your hand, but I'm sure we can get you a badass prosthetic..."

Just then, one of the puppies made an appearance, plopping down and whining for attention. With a smile, Gabe scooped it up and placed it in Abby's lap. The pup responded with happy tail wags, and lavished the young girl with its tongue...

Raphael Hamato wrote:

"Heh...yeah, I mean...I ain't actually done it before, only watched you with my niece and nephew.. " He told his sister in law. He still wasn't ready to relinquish his precious daughter from his arms, but maybe for a couple of seconds....

He reluctantly offered the new sleepy bundle to Erica...

"Demo?"

Erica raised her eyebrows and her eyes flash briefly as she chuckles silently, " well as milkbar I wont be far away until she is weaned. reassuringly then more so and with a confident sort of grin " You have been a wonderful attentive Uncle to Yoshi and Shen, you will be equally up to fatherhood. Think of the holding, tail changing and even sometimes getting up late in the night to help your exhausted brother or myself with a child or two as practice. You got this." She reminds him, its true, she and Leo had been all but spoilt for choice when it came to having the best of the best protection for their babies and very caring Aunts and Uncles and Grandfather whenever they needed to have just a few more moments sleep or sneak away to be together as just them. And indeed Raphael sometimes had been the first to respond. And Shen had been a small hatchling. Just like Jade. Amusing to think Yoshi had been a half size bigger than either girl.


She does however accept Jade and brushes light soft fingers over her little head. Oooooh she was looking forward to the day Leo felt like more kids. One day. Now though she shifts Jade up onto her shoulder to rub that little shell until there is a burp of some kind, falling back into the slow sort of movements made to sooth the little one into sleeps. So glad the hatchlings were not quiet as fragile as human newborns, and at least had some neck control. Not a lot, but enough, patting and rubbing and watching Raph. A silent sort of support for him.


She hums softly for the pair of them, a soft low tune. One she'd hum and sung many times, in the mornings and nights wrapped about Leo, to her bumps.... her smallish bumps in those moments alone. To the eggs, all of them even this one... to her hatchlings and to them as toddlers. humming for now - when Raphael is ready she'll maybe sing for them, or just hum when he recalls he already has had quiet a bit of baby practice.

Donatello is still dubious, he is laying Dwight straight and the man is being hooked up - the youth with them had a proud smile from being addressed by Leonardo, the LionKing, to which Don sort of grins at but his gaze to Mikko was serious, " you ate someone alive, of course I'd remember and that behavior not permissible here, not even against those that attack us or criminals we catch in our midst. My worry is if we give him a transfusion from you will he ... eat people too? Other way to save him would be a more concentrated but also filtered dose of our mutagen, restores at a cellular level so he will heal - and the filtered stuff is at least not likely to completely mutate him, if at all." Last moments to reassure Donatello. Both Sherry and Mikko that is. The ultimate decision for the man was Sherry's of course and he was making that perfectly clear.


Either way the tubing is set and it's now or never he is moving to prep Mikko for the transfusion as the boy keeps an eye on Dwight after placing a thermal blanket on him to keep him warm and setting up a slow fluid drip. Don is pleased the youth did a superb job. A sachet of filtered green was waiting nearby.

Sherry and Mikko looked at each other. This was Sherry's choice and it was one she was taking very seriously. she know time was not on their side and she had to tell them what to do now! She also knew Mikko's past. SHe had Deadpools...Stuff, running through her. Yes Mikko was once infected but due to things beyond her understanding Mikko was now healed of that infliction.

Of all the years she had lived with the woman she never seen Mikko eat anyone, her child was a different story of corse.

She was also scared of the mutagen. What would it do to Dwight? And the most important question, what would Dwight want?

Since Mikko was already going to give blood to Dwight to help cure the cancer she decided to stick with that plan because she knew Dwight was ok with that.

I think we should let Mikko give him blood. She's been cured of her walker infection and I know Dwight would be ok with Mikko giving him blood.

Laz was so glad he was in a bed and safe and could rest. He had stopped bleeding and thankfully he didn't loose enough blood to be life threatning, but he would still milk the situation and be a big baby about it.

When Lexi and his kids showed up he pulled Zoe close to him and watched as the strange looking woman started to apply something to Kai's back.

Dieair gently spread the paste over Kai's cuts. The paste would stop the pain and help heal his back. Once she was done she patted the top of his head. der. You should be feeling better now. If I can help wid anything else let me know. She then left the family to help others.

Laz looked at lexi. I think I seen that woman in a video game...Anyway. I'm ok for now. Just tired. Why don't you take the kids and try to get some sleep.

Abby sat on the bed and pouted at her hand. When Gabe sat next to her she looked over and nodded.

Maybe a cool robot hand. She said perking up a little.

Then the puppy came and she finally managed a smile and pet the dog.

It was then that Dieair walked up to the two and she offered the paste to Abby. Telling her it would help with pain and healing. Abby sort of hid behind Gabe at first but then agreed to the paste being applied.

Dieair washed her stub first then applied the flower paste. Abby sighed with relief.

That feels much better. What is that stuff?

It's a from a flower from my world. Unfortunatly once I run out I wont be able to make more. I must learn the properties of your worlds plants.

Maggie wasn't ready to rest. She wanted to help more. But she also knew that her kids needed her right now. She picked up Noah and sat him on the bed with her. She signed to him that everthing was going to be ok. To just try and get some rest because tommorrow was probably going to be a busy day for everyone. Then she held out her hands for Logan.

Logan was half asleep. He kept waking up for small moments then falling back to sleep. At this moment he was awake and looking around. Where are we? He asked.

Michonne picked up Sandy and went with Daryl to get him fixed up. Sandy was quiet the whole time. Worried about her dad and worried about where they would live and omg they left pickles!

Michonne sat with sandy on her lap next to Daryl's bed.

I should be out there helping the others. I can't let Judith handle everything. Will you be ok here without me for a while? And not fight with the doctors? She asked Daryl.

By now Joker was unfazed by all the weirdness. He stepped out of the car and dusted himself off.

No we're fine. Got anything to eat?

He walked around to Ally's side of the car and pulled her out.

My girl and me could use some food and a place to rest that isn't jail.

A chuckle at Abby. " A cool robotic hand... of sorts yes, we have had to make prosthetics for a few here." none as cool as Raphael's replacement limb and eye but nearly. A grin at Dieair, " Thanks for that, person to see about that is Michelangelo there he is crazily savant about herbs and stuff, along with Donatello." if the tall... um Lilo was not sure what she is, wanted to learn about local stuff.


Whilst a few more reclining chairs and makeshift beds were being sorted around the injured for their families and a few more added for those not already bedded, Lilo moves towards Glenn as another bed is being sorted for Logan. Chairs brought over to Noah and even pet beds were being distributed about for the pups, in the form of padded boxes. She smiles at Logan, " we're at the Pigsty, almost in the middle Atlantic City."


Stitch hoping along to make sure people are resting. Checking for last minute injuries that needed tending to.



~~


Jumba's massive eyes blinked and he shrugs a little, [color:bd08=8B008B]" food for all the new arrivals will be brought up soon. It is past the communal dinner. If unhurt and not with this group then I'll get a guide to help yous to get situated." he tells them, a chance for the girl to pull away if she really wasn't with this guy. They had had similar situations before older men... and once an older woman with a much younger person mostly against the younger persons wishes.

Mikey may have scent familiar scents, but wasn't sure from where, because the Foot issues seemed a life time ago.


And now he is more happy to be helping setting up more beds for the families to be closer, and well maybe not all the beds were technically beds but those reclining chairs but hey those of the tree houses will have a place to sleep and food and that's what mattered. He did grin a little watching Judith, noting Leonardo moving a little closer to offer her quiet support. Not over riding her.


As Lilo is setting things up for Logan and spotting Maggie's out stretched arms he carefully pushes the hastily carted in desk and the blow up mattress closer so Maggie and Glenn and theirs could be closer in a 'big' bed of sorts. Then Leonardo poked him in passing to gather a few of the extra hands in here and set them to pouring water, a grin at Dieair as he passes to do that, missing some of what Lilo was saying but he'd help out however he could.


Soon there is a small group of the extra hands wheeling the converted mail trolley about offering water.

Dieair was calm through everything. She helped the kids first and once they were taken care of she moved on to the adults. War injuries were nothing new to her. But it was always sad to see the young ones get hurt.

After taking care of the little ones she asked about fresh cloths and located them. SHe gave a change of cloths to Gabe then moved on to the others.

The next person she moved to was Daryl and Michonne.

I have clean cloths that you can change into. I can also look at your wounds if you like.

Sandy looked at the troll with big eyes and hid behind her mother. Michonne was guarded but slowly nodded her head letting the troll inside. You should let her look at you. She told Daryl.
