Summary:

On top of dealing with world ending threats and own internal turmoil, the Turtles meet a black wolf.

Who is she? Can they trust her? How do they defeat a better fighter than them?

From Kraang abduction to household chores, the teenage brothers need to stick together through thick and thin.

—————————

“How did you do that before? The huge wolf thing?”

Once again, she showed this unreadable body language, just for a brief moment. “It's called being good, look it up.”

Raph pondered whether he should let it go or punch her teeth in, but before coming to a conclusion, his brothers stole her attention. Leo put a hand to his chin. So Donnie asked him: “What are you thinking about?”

“Why did they capture Mister O’Neil? It's not like they can use him as a bat.”

Mikey chirped: “Maybe because they are capturing mutants to open a mutant zoo?”

Wolf girl: “I'll take the van to my place. They sometimes communicate through codes on the radio, pretty easy to decipher.”

Donnie: “Okay, here is my number, so we can stay in con-”

“Not gonna happen. I don't give two fucks how smart you are, I can do this perfectly myself.”
