Summary
Sweet couldn’t say how long they stay there, breathing each other in, the sun low on the horizon but never dipping beneath it; painting the sky pink, red, gold. Behind them, the chatter of their friends. In front of them, the low-lit scatter of detritus, of a life lived- well or not, who knows- pressed flat to the earth. The deep depression of a well. The turn of the soil, pushed up by the earthworms. Up, up, up. Her fingers skitter up Kung Fu’s arm once more, little earthworms, pressed into the soft flesh of her bicep, rolling over her shoulder.

Summary
“Hey!” New Uma says, voice high and fluting. “You look a little lost. All aghhhhhh and stuff, but that’s cool ‘cause your hero is here! Come on, come hang out with me and my friends!”
Girl? Girl talking to her? Girl talking to her, Agnes Digital?? Pretty girl, with big brown eyes and orange hair flowing down her back, head cocked to her shoulder and bomber jacket tucked around her waist and ears- those beautiful-gorgeous-perfect Uma ears, agh- twitching and flicking with curiosity? Bright, perfect, pretty girl?? Hello? Did she just up and freaking die? Can anyone hear her??? Girl? Girl???

Summary
“Fine. Huff,” Donnie says, in the better of efficiency this time, because this battle shell was designed with several convenient pockets for his multitudes. “We’re here because we- as in I- am going to find Michelangelo a kitten. For his birthday. Not a random, aimless kitten, like some kind of dumb-dumb. A kitten with purpose. A kitten with a cause. You get it.”

Summary
Raph’s just driven his sai into April Clone Three Billion and One’s eye- and she explodes into a bunch of goop, which hasn’t gotten less gross between April clone one and three billion by the way- when he sees the flash of April’s, real April’s tessen out of the corner of his eye, and it’s… fast. Way too fast. Fast and erratic and just a little too brutal, and that’s coming from him; she’s mowing through those guys, one after the other, slash after slash after crazy fucking slash, and he’s watching and he’s getting distracted and annoyed about it, and the pieces snap together right on the wrong end of an April-clone punch to the shell:
Ah, shit. She’s angry.

Summary
Now it felt far too late to back down. All of this hard work – work she didn’t even want to do, work she felt like she had to do – was about to be undone by her own inability to let her pride go. Why? Because today was the day that Still I Rise would formally race to see if she qualified for Tracen Academy.
Today was the day she’d show that she was nothing more than a fluke. Nothing more than a misstep in her parents’ legacies.
Being the daughter of two legendary racers isn’t easy. Stubborn, proud, and pressured by the legacy of Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, Still I Rise steps uncertainly towards a future she doesn’t actually want.

Summary
Worrying about being a good person was good. He was a ninja. He was a hero. He had to be a good person, that was part of the job description. This was a justified worry. This was absolutely a justified worry.
