[She doesn't mind that he tells her to stay behind him, she's not the leader in her group so she is used to taking orders plus she can only see out of one eye. Donnie has both eyes and a weapon and she holds onto his hand tightly as they creep around the shipping crates to see what is going on.

When they get to a corner and peek around it they see a man holding back a woman while four of his friends beat up who Roxy assumes is her husband.]

[Donnie isn't exactly a leader either, that's more Raph or Leo's area of expertise. Sure he's made plans but like, that's with time and stuff to think them over.

He lets out an exhale of breath at the scene before them, as he presses a button on his tech bo and it extends to its full length before he lets go of Roxy's hand and uses both hands to hold onto the staff. Five against two, sure he can work with these odds.

They're only muggers after all, as he takes some more steps out towards them he'll speak up.]

Hey, you!

[So heroic, much bravery.]

[Roxy follows behind Donnie and when he speaks up she moves a bit forward, trying to keep an eye specifically on the guy holding the woman.]

Let these two go or prepare to get your ass whupped!

[Okay so she doesn't have snazzy one liners but who cares.]

[Well they certainly get the guy's attention, although the one holding the woman seems to just tighten his hold on her. While the four dealing with the man stop, or at least a few of them stop, to turn their attention towards Donnie and Roxy.]

It's just some kids. [Says one of the man beating thugs, who has decided to approach them now.

Which just makes Donnie tighten the grip he has on his staff, just waiting for him to get closer.]

[Roxy makes a face at being called a kid and gets into a ready stance, most likely the thug will go for Donnie since she's a girl and dudes always tend to ignore women in fights but that's fine. She knows Donnie can fight so while he deals with him she can get the woman away from the other guy.]

[Donnie doesn't make a face, instead keeping himself still as the man gets even closer until well... He's within tech bo range, which Donnie lashes out with and hits the guy square between the legs with it. Basically sending the fellow to the ground in one hit, which he follows up with a blow to the guy's head just to keep him down.

This of course is not going to go down well with the other guys, who have now stopped beating up on the poor husband to come after Donnie. The one holding the woman is still keeping back though, as the woman herself lets out a scream because holy crap this is not what one would expect to happen especially while getting mugged(?).]

[The rest of thugs charge towards them and Roxy rolls her eyes mentally, sometimes guys like this are so predictable and while Donnie takes on the two closest ones she uses her powers to toss the other ones against a metal shipping container, hopefully rendering them unconscious. She then turns her attention to the guy holding the woman who pulls out a knife and brandishes at his hostage.]

Back off you little bitch!

[Roxy wags a finger at him.]

Uh-uhn, now that's not very nice. [She says and makes a gesture with her hand, using her powers to rip the knife out of the guys hand. He blinks in surprise and then lets out a loud cry and crumples to the ground.]

That's the feeling of your testicles suddenly weighing 100 pounds, hurts doesn't it?

[Okay so, Donnie is doing his best to stay focused on the guys coming at him but he can't help but look a little impressed by what Roxy is doing. This means he's totally getting hit a few times, not that he hasn't had worse done to him. He strikes out with his bo staff, knocking at least one of the guys off his feet as he swings it around to hit the other in the stomach.]

Ha ha, this is way easier than I thou-- [He's cut off as the one he thought he grounded has gotten back up and hits him hard across the back of the head, sending him toppling forward onto the ground and within stomping range of the one he hit in the stomach. Which is what is happening, because why should Donnie have an easy time of it?]

[Roxy meanwhile has gone over to grab the woman and help her collect her beaten husband, she points towards the way she and Donnie came and tells them to run. She turns to check on Donnie and sees him get knocked down.]

Donnie!

[She yells and rushes towards him, her idea is to knock over the one who is stomping him but it's hard to aim properly when you only have one eye and instead of hitting her target she overshoots and crashes into a pile of crates.]

[Donnie isn't really in any position to take too much notice of Roxy going into the crates, as he's got his hands up to protect his head from any kicks. As the thugs also kick his tech bo away from him while they beat on him, which oddly enough isn't as bad as it could be. As he always wears a battle shell when he goes anywhere, so the kicks to his back are just hitting that much to the thugs' chagrin.]

The hell, is this punk wearing something? [One of them says, as he's hauling Donnie up. The movement makes the hood on Donnie's hoodie fall back, which gets a scoff from the thug holding him.]

Brat's wearing a mask, must really think he's some kind of he-- [The words are cut off as Donnie takes his chance here and just headbutts the guy, which gets the guy to let go of him as the second one had been heading towards Roxy while thinking his buddy has got this handled.

Taking the moment to sort of gather his own senses, Donnie is just going to go after the second guy now and just tries to tackle him. Although it probably doesn't go well considering he's not the biggest turtle around.]

[Roxy pulls herself up and out of the crates, her body protesting at how many bumps and bruising she's giving it these past 48 hours and she turns to see Donnie tackle the goon who was heading for her.
He's really the only one left and she dashes over to deliver a swift kick to the guys face while Donnie semi holds him down.]

Stay down, asshole!

[She grumbles at him as he slumps to one side and she sighs, pushing her hair back and looking around to make sure that they are safe and all their opponents are out for the count. It looks like they won and she offers Donnie a hand.]

You okay?

[Other than the guy who got headbutted still being up, but he's taking notice of how the tides have turns and is just going to get the hell out of here.

Donnie, meanwhile, is going to get up off the guy after Roxy's basically kicked him out, while taking her hand. He's got some sweet bruises on his face but his mask hides most of them as he lets out a sigh of his own, as he'll pull his hood back up.]

I've had worse. Good thing I always wear a battle shell.

[He winces a little because he is pretty sure the kicks have probably dented it a little, as he's going to let go of her hand and go gather up his tech bo. Can't be leaving that behind.]

[She lets him gather up his tech bo, her eyes watching him with concern at the way he winces and she fidgets with her feet a little bit.]

Yeah, that's good.
Urm.
You did really good by the way, like...your fighting.

[Picking it up, pressing the button to make it retract into it's smaller form and then tucking it back away into his shell under his hoodie.]

Oh, um. Thanks... I do better with my brothers around though.

[He's used to group fighting after all.]

You did really well too, actually!

[She's used to fighting with a team as well but hey, they did okay together and she smiles at his compliment.]

Thanks. I mean except for when I ran into that pile of crates....that was dumb but. Yeah. Thank you.

Hey it could have been worse, you're not hurt right?

[Just totally not caring about his own injuries after all.]

... And we should probably get out of here too.

I banged the hell out of my knee but it's fine.

[She says even though really her knee is throbbing already.]

Yeah, guess we can just consider my boots lost and gone forever. Oh well.
I appreciate you coming out to look with me though.

[She looks at his face and then winces.]

Uh...you should probably get some ice on yer face soon. C'mon, grab onto my waist and I can fly us back to my place.

Okay... and yeah, it's unfortunate. But hey maybe someone who needs them found them?

[Let's put a positive spin on the whole thing, even if it means missing boots remain missing.

And yeah, his face is starting to swell up a little.]

Oh I can fly myself... [Or he would, but there is an unpleasant sound from his battle shell. Looks like he's unable to get it to go into flight mode, as he frowns.]

Or not.

Yeah, let's hope so.

[She says with a smile because it does help to think that someone who needs them more than her has found them.]

It probably got banged up in the fight. I'm sure Mr. Lynch has some tools you can use to fix it back at our place.

[He sighs, as much as he doesn't want to have to fix it with tools that aren't his own he just might have to.]

Okay well, let's go then.

[This is going to be awkward, but hey she said to hold onto her waist so he's going to do that unless she changes her mind.]

[She feels herself wanting to blush when he wraps his hands around her waist but somehow manages to keep it at bay by concentrating on her powers, throwing up a gravity bubble around them and lifting them up and off the ground.

She then speeds the little bubble towards the apartment building that Mr. Lynch owns, the sensation probably a little different compared to when Donnie flies on his own. It's eerily smooth and there's a feeling of being suspended in space.]

[It most certainly is different from what he's used to, for sure. If he had to compare it to something, he'd say it makes him think of floating in water.

Anyway, he'll keep a good hold on to her since he doesn't want to fall and hopes it's not too stressful for her to do this.]

[It's not stressful for her, Roxy has carried a lot of her team mates in bubbles like these before, it's just interesting to do it with Donnie now. Mostly because for some reason she is very aware of his hold on her and the feeling of him being so close, so much that when she touches them down on the rooftop she feels a little light headed.]

This way.

[She says, hoping to god she isn't blushing, and motions for him to follow her to a service elevator that scans her eye quickly before taking them down a few floors.]

[He stumbles a little once they land, not used to the change from gravity bubble to solid ground.

He'll nod at her words and just follow her wordlessly into the elevator, remaining quiet the whole ride down the few floors.]

[The elevator dings and opens up on a large apartment that takes up the entire floor, Roxy exits and starts to holler out to see if any of the other members of Gen13 are home or not.]

Helloooooooooo, guys? Anyone home?

[They are greeted with silence and Roxy shrugs.]

Guess they're all out, c'mon. Kitchen is this way.
