Meanwhile...
Alice's thoughts kept drifting back to the statement Violet had dropped about Phantom being her brother. The idea tugged at her mind, stirring a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. She had to know. Who was he? Where was he? Being here was overwhelming enough as is. But not knowing so many things she needed to know just made it worse.

Annalise approached Alice with a concerned expression. "Hey, you a'ight?" she asked gently.
14Please respect copyright.PENANApKzd78DOuH
Alice looked up. "Yeah, I'm just... trying to make sense of everything," she admitted. "What if Violet was telling the truth about Phantom? What if he really is my brother?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANALKPxyCfG8V
Annalise sighed. "Allie, Violet is manipulative. We can't just believe everything she says."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA4buUE6CwQe
Alice nodded slowly. Her mind flickered back to Jessie as she made sassy remarks about taking down Brandon.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAalqtveTMc7
Luna gave a small smile and shook her head. "You can fist fight that cop tomorrow."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAcYfcUD3REg
As the tension settled in both the girls' home and the turtles' hideout, the weight of the upcoming confrontation loomed large over everyone. Leo gathered his brothers and Casey around the table, the morning light filtering through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows over their makeshift planning area.

Meanwhile...
Ryan was in his bed playing on his computer. Despite Violet's defeat, he just couldn't shake the thought of what she had said. Could it be true? Could Nova be his sister he had been searching for all these years?
14Please respect copyright.PENANAjUE3iO9Vph
The lights flickered. Startled, Ryan glanced up to see his mother, peeking into the room.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXdHPuFNqkz
Ryan smiled softly and put his hearing aids into place. "Hi momma."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA5syypHbIpr
"Good morning, sweetheart," Ryan's mother replied, "you're up early."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAqvRTbicyZs
Ryan sighed. "I couldn't sleep. Why is it that I can remember everything but what happened to my sister? "
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXUFj9rGNL9
"I know it's been hard for you, Ryan," she began softly, her voice gentle. "Losing your sister was a difficult time for all of us."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAF8XuvAOMsg
Ryan nodded, his gaze fixed on his mother. "But why can't I remember anything about her though?" he asked, frustration evident in his voice.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAK4mkJj0zug
His mother sat beside him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Sometimes, memories can be like puzzle pieces scattered in our minds," she explained, her voice soothing. "It's not your fault if you can't recall everything right now."
14Please respect copyright.PENANArBnQkCjiRk
Ryan sighed, his shoulders sagging slightly. "I just wish I knew more," he admitted, his eyes searching his mother's face for answers.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYF15AP4m0I
"We all do," Ryan's mother said.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAzbCXhXVQM3
Ryan went back to his computer, his mind still pondered the possibilities. Could Nova truly be his missing sister, Alice? The connection felt both surreal and hopeful, igniting a newfound sense of purpose within him.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAeehMVo8MdF
Ryan's mother stood. "Well, I have to go to work. You behave okay?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Qw2Z4uSn
Ryan nodded, offering his mother a warm smile. "I will, Mom."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAZsI2Q9LawG
His mother returned the smile, her eyes filled with maternal affection. "I'll see you later, sweetheart. Love you."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA5APsss3ulS
As she left the room, Ryan's thoughts returned to the mysterious connection Violet had hinted at. The possibility that Nova could be his long-lost sister stirred a whirlwind of emotions within him - hope, uncertainty, and a deep yearning for answers.
14Please respect copyright.PENANArLbTCX6gbf
Turning back to his computer, Ryan mulled over the fragments of memory he had from his childhood. His sister's face was a faded image in his mind, elusive and distant like a half-remembered dream. He wished he could piece together the puzzle of his past, to fill the void that had haunted him for so long.

Meanwhile...
"Jessie vs Annalise round two!" Alice exclaimed with excitement.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAim0By4D9jr
Alright, ladies, we all know the rules and that is we do not accept foul play. First one to give up or be defeated, is the loser." Luna announced. As the signal was given, Jessie and Annalise lunged at each other, their movements swift and calculated. The crowd cheered and shouted encouragement, their voices blending into a cacophony of excitement.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAL68Fd67Coj
Jessie aimed a powerful strike at Annalise, but Annalise countered with surprising agility, dodging the blow and retaliating with a flurry of her own punches and kicks. The two girls exchanged fierce blows, each determined to prove their strength.

Meanwhile
With a determined expression, Ryan closed his laptop and walked out of the house. Ryan reached for his phone. He scrolled through his contacts until he found Nova's number, his thumb hesitating over the call button.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA1aW4pWSNyl
After a moment's hesitation, Ryan took a deep breath and pressed the button. The phone rang, each ring adding to his anxiety, until finally, Nova's voice came through.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAuGhiaO1fTk
"Hello?" Nova's cheerful voice chimed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9y10S3iiKp
"Hey, Nova," Ryan spoke, his voice steady but tinged with uncertainty. "It's... it's...um, Phantom."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAE3DwsWoHVK
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, followed by Nova's excited screaming.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhRYJaM0IEX
Ryan was concerned. "Uhh...Nova?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAuACcVE314k
"Sorry," said Nova.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAZizTVvIbAJ
"No, it's fine," Ryan stammered.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXEJaGIsGxM
"Also how the heck did you get my number?" Nova asked.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVt3nG5RhRQ
Ryan gathered his thoughts, his heart racing with a mixture of nerves and anticipation. "That's not important right now. I... I need to talk to you about something," he began, "Something important."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAlxUWm2Lpbx
In the neighborhood, Alice tilted her head. "What could possibly be more important than explaining how you got my number?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAHpkhK3uyZv
Phantom groaned. "If you would just listen to me, I'll tell you."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9boKawbTWT
"You have two minutes. There's gonna be a match between Tori and Keighley next and I don't wanna miss it." Alice said quickly.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAripYMJzF2H
“Oh shit,” Phantom muttered. "Um... Do you remember what Violet said? How we were brother and sister?" he asked.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAGqMB9YQRR4
"Yeah, what about it?" Alice asked
14Please respect copyright.PENANAsjrHWdEpT8
Phantom hesitated, trying to find the right words. "I... I don't have all the answers, but... what if it's true?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQGRJ9KzQU3
"Well funny thing, I was thinking the same thing this morning!" Alice giggled.
14Please respect copyright.PENANApYTNNkAZVp
"I know it sounds crazy, but..." Phantom started.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAaJNln0501A
"Hold that thought," said Alice.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAw2NiANoT7a
"I'm so glad I'm not wearing my headphones..." Phantom murmured.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAT6HUwur2v6
"GO ANNALISE!!" Alice exclaimed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVmSmKn9WSm
Phantom sighed, unamused.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhwUXJ2sOcJ
"What were you saying?" Alice asked.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAJnTSElSvg3
"What if we've been connected all this time without even realizing it?" Phantom proposed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAGTTcEfqSJk
"That would be fun!" Alice purred. "Also why do you sound like you are running?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAAQmTrO5hjN
Alice cocked her head as the phone hung up. She sighed, silently insulting Phantom. Alice jumped as she felt someone touch her on the shoulder. Alice turned around.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAvRYuS4WGLJ
"Huh? Who are you?" Alice asked curiously.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAn3nYJ2hyck
Ryan stood before Alice. His fingers fidgeted nervously. "I'm... Ryan," he muttered.
