WHAT?!" Came several loud exclamations from Leon, Raph, Mikey and Donnie as they quickly approached the table to get a better view of the new- actual nikki mckay.

"Draxum never reversed the mutation..." It wasn't a question, but nikki nodded in response to Leo anyways.

"He did have the anti-mutagen!" SHe quickly clarified, "I just...didn't want to go through with it..."

Whatever Leo was feeling very quickly replaced itself with ann impossible fondness and warmth.

Then, it was up to Donnie and Mikey to hold Raph back from smothering nikki.

You're younger than Mikey...." Leo whispered, head in hands Splinter reached over and placed a tentative claw on one of nikki in support, and to ground Herself. "
