None of them stepped out of the lair, that night. At least, not yet. Some time to lay low was needed, so they can prepare themselves for a possible frontal assault.
It took a bit of convincing, but April allowed Danny to spend the night with them in the ransacked lair. As much as she wanted to waver it off, Jennifer felt an aura coming from him, like there was something he wasn't telling them. It created all sorts of unease for the Asian teen, as she had to rely on her ability to observe, in order to pinpoint what it was, exactly. So far, he behaved like any other teenage kid; something she and Charlie could relate to. But then, there was also slight paranoia. What was he afraid of? Was he hiding from something, or someone? There were hints of rockiness between Danny and his father, but was the relationship that bad, that it made him go into hiding? It was a small feeling, but then, the paranoia and confusion in his eyes, said that it was something else entirely.
After chuckling at the shenanigan over a Penicillin-filled pizza, Jennifer took the time of discussing with Leonardo to come up with a game-plan. After gaining notice of her mature intelligence, the swordsman got the courage to approach, and ask for her opinion. It surprised Jen, but then, she wondered. Maybe the eldest brother felt that her wisdom as an "older sister-figure" would reassure him that he wasn't failing as a leader. After his tussle to Raph, that day, Jennifer's words made him realize that he made a mistake; one that nearly costed his rebellious brother's life. Including those times of training together, Leo's interactions with the Asian girl were comforting yet tender. Nobody else gave him such powerful wisdom, aside from his father. He couldn't believe he became so fond of her, in such moderate time.
Meanwhile, hoping to distance himself from the growing aggression in his chest, Raphael was gazing at some of the weapons that were hanging on the wall nearby. He didn't know why he was, but the thought of Charlie, was invading his mind and, after he instinctively stepped in front of her, at the first sound of danger, it occurred to him that he was also becoming protective. Of course, when you have family, you always want them to be safe, but then, that very incident mentally told him that he should shield her from all kinds of bad news. It confused him but, the brunette girl brought him a sense of serenity and....it felt good. On that thought, his heart skipped a beat again! It was all starting to become overwhelming. He nearly jumped out of his skin, by the time he heard her voice.
"Y-Yeah! I'm fine", he answered, a little too quickly, and shaking his head.
