Why this must be read:

Angel is one of those characters that people either like or hate. When she first showed up she was something of a Mary-Sue. She was important to Casey even though he's never mentioned her in the past, she was a badass, and despite being fourteen she was a strong enough martial artist to take down several full-fledged Purple Dragons. She got better in later episodes (In the massively awesome Same As It Never Was Angel led a team of commandos against the Shredder) but she started off kind of annoying.

This story manages to make this two-dimensional Mary-Sue into a sympathetic character with interests and feelings – and those feelings happen to involve a certain brainiac mutant.
