Liz slowly approached Vicky with tears in her eyes, "Victoria, this was never supposed to happen… I was supposed to protect you from an outcome such as this one."
Vicky was not the only one who was confused by Liz's words. Gwen walked over to Liz and whispered something to her, which in turn made Liz's eyes widened in fear. The room suddenly became colder and everyone shivered. Leo put a reassuring arm around Liz in hopes of calming her down. She looks at his calm demeanor and everything seems to feel right in the world.
The residual power that was leaking from her, slowly started to subside and the temperature in the room started to return to normal. Yet the difference in her power level did not go unnoticed by her sisters. Gwen was one to get incredibly worried about her sister and due to the circumstances she was going to need help. Her gaze landed on Donatello and an idea struck her.
☆"A few days later "☆
Donnie was in his makeshift lab in the lair… with Gwen. She was as smart as she was breathtakingly gorgeous. Every time she glanced his way she would send him a gorgeous smile.
[Focus dude! Sure she's amazingly attractive and whip smart but focus on the task at hand.] Donnie thought to himself as he tried not to let his thoughts stray too far.
He refocused his attention on a blood sample he pulled from Vicky's arm, "This is interesting, she has some human DNA but if you look here there is an odd set of strands that I can't make out."
"Really? Let me have a look…" Gwen asked as she casually pulled her wavy auburn hair into a high ponytail and took off her glasses to take a look through the microscope.
Donnie blushed… she was so close to him, and she smelled so good. Her scent was like a fresh meadow of lavender after a rainy day, and to Donnie it was a relaxing scent that made him feel at ease.
"It's a trait similar to a komodo dragon…" Gwen stated as she pulled away from the microscope long enough to write something in a notebook she conjured up, "but the magic that is laced throughout the blood it seems like it was supposed to be there this whole time."
Donnie was about to ask something when there was a loud crash followed by what appeared to be… cheering? Gwen seemed to have heard the same thing 'cause the next thing that they knew they were racing towards the dojo's door, only to see Raph and Vicky locked in a heated battle of arm wrestling….and it seemed like Vicky was winning?
[Ok, what has the world come to…] Donnie thought to himself.
Just then Vicky slams Raph's arm which quickly solidifies her victory and makes Donnie's nerd side all the more curious as to the limits of her new form.
Raph who was rubbing his sore hand looked at the girl who had pretty much stolen his heart at that point. She was strong, resilient, and she's even more gorgeous with those ruby red scales covering most of her body. It was a good thing April can be so understanding since it's hard for them to get new clothes for Vicky to accommodate for the new wings that she has now. She wore a black criss-cross backless (again to be mindful of the wings) halter top, and high waisted tight fitted blue jeans that Gwen had sewn up to accommodate for her… newly formed dragon tail. She skipped out on most selections of shoes and settled on a pair of greek warrior styled sandals, since her feet had also morphed and she and her sisters had spent most of yesterday as Liz had said 'trimming her claws'.
Vicky spotted Gwen and rushed over to her, "Did you see that Gwen?! I'm even stronger now than I ever was!!"
"But you need to learn to control that strength…"
Liz said as she walked over to Vicky and Gwen, "and your new found powers."
Vicky looked confused then asked, "But you guys can change me back... right?"
Gwen was not one to let people down… but facts are facts and this spell was a doozy to explain, "Vicky… I think your going to need to sit down for this--"
Vicky's eyes widened and she shook her head, "No… no, this can't be!! You two are the smartest people here, you guys gotta find a way…. I can't be stuck looking like this!!"
Before anyone could do anything she ran out of the dojo, at breakneck speed, and into a network of sewer tunnels. As she ran, tears streamed down her cheeks, she couldn't stay this way… what guy would like her as a monster. The memory of Raph's lips on hers crossed her mind and that caused her to stop running. It's been three days since that moment, and she wondered if Raph had any feelings for her or was it just physical attraction.
She sighed as she leaned against the sewer tunnel, "What am I going to do? Does he even… does he really like me?"
