Years have passed at the turtles were teenagers as now were full grown adults as Leo and Raph were thirty as Donnie and Mickey were 29. Shredder was gone but still the foot clan was still around with Karai now being the new Shredder; even with the Purple Dragons the turtles were still protecting their great city of New York that they love. Still living in the Sewers but in their own rooms to keep away from their own brothers to keep their own secrets in their rooms. The brothers still bickered but all still love each other. Right now Mickey and Raph were jamming in the band room they made making very loud music as Donnie was on his computer and Leo meditating but was failing.
Leo's left closed eye twitch in annoyance as he opened his eyes as he glared at his brothers as he sighed angrily as he got up and stormed over and grabbed the drumsticks.
"Hey!" Mickey exclaimed!
"Yo what are ya doing?" Raph asked as he stopped playing his guitar.
"You've been playing for hours and it's giving me a headache," Leo sneered as he dropped the drumsticks.
"Oh back off Leo we're only trying to kill time shit," Raph cursed as Leo walked away then got in his brothers face.
"For over four hours!" Leo shouted then Mickey got up and to push the two apart.
"Hey hey hey! Calm down!" Mickey tried to make peace.
"Enough!" Splinter shouted as the two split apart as they faced their father. "Raphael, Michelangelo it is time for you to take a rest. We all live here my sons and I know it is hard but try to compromise."
"They can play I'm going out for some air to clear my head," Leo spoke as he grabbed his swords and headed for the cool night air of the city to meditate on a lonely building.
Leo was enjoying the air of his beloved city as he meditated until he heard a scream which his senses immediately opened his eyes and ran to where he heard the scream. Jumping over a few buildings he stopped at the edge to see several Purple Dragons roughing up a woman who was trying to fight back but one large man bear hug her from behind before lifting her up and dropping her hard on the ground super hard. One creep grabbed her purse as he went through it and another bent down to pull something from her neck which she tried to grab back.
"Lookie here, a pretty necklace," the guy spoke as the girl grabbed his ankle.
"Give that back," she groaned as the male kicked her away.
"Showtime," Leo thought as he pulled out a shuriken as he took out the lamp out making the group whom started to freak out.
Jumping down Leo kicked the tall fat man that threw the woman on the ground which sent him into the wall as he used his blades to cut two of the other thug's guns in half before punching them in the face. Leo them kicked another into their motorcycles as several of them began to run away screaming, "It's the turtles!"
Leo smirked until he heard a thunk to turn around to see the woman drop a metal pipe as she knocked out the guy who threw her on the ground. She swayed as she picked up a silver chain that had a heart shape locket on it. Leo watched as she came into the small light that was coming from the road as his breath caught in his throat. The girl she was about in her twenties as she had curly wavy dark color brown hair that almost look black to him that fell down to her waist. Her eyes were soft shade of brown with mascara and eyeliner with dark lipstick that made her angelic pale face seem to glow. Hiding in the shadows as Leo looked over her slender pale frame with medium size breast dressed in a blue
Navy sheer sleeveless chiffon dress with contrast lace paneling through the lace fabric. Black jeans with a pair of studded black heel boots. What else that made the breath in Leo's throat not move was the tattoo's he could see.
On her left under forearm was a beautiful blue humming bird with long peacock feathers with teal, purple, and pink in the feathers with pink sakura blossoms in the background. Even in the shadows he can black, grey, and blue of a daisy, sunflower, peacock feathers, and a rose as she bent down to collect her things. Overall, Leo was entranced by her.
"Come out," Leo heard her raspy voice as she groaned standing up straight looking around. "I know you are still here."
Leo thought about it long and hard but sighed as he stepped out to where she could see him in the little light that there was. The older brother was nervous as he stared at her as she stared back at him holding her sore side. Watching her eyes as they moved over his frame until they met his blue eyes.
Leo cleared his throat as he pointed at her side before dropping his hand, "Are you hurt seriously?"
Leo watch from as she seemed startled slightly from his deep voice was looked calm as she shook her head, "No just sore from when he dropped me. I've had worse than what they caused me."
She looked at the guy she knocked out with disgust then tired at Leo, "Thanks, um."
"Leo," Leo cleared his throat again. "Names Leonardo."
A soft smile appeared as she lightly laughed, "Like Di Vinci."
Leo returned the smile as he nodded as his nervousness faded away until she stopped laughing as she started to fall but Leo acted fast as he caught her.
"Ow," she groaned.
"That guy body slammed you to the ground pretty good," Leo mentioned as she leaned against him.
"No shit and names Mia," Mia spoke.
"Where do you live?" Leo asked as she looked down at her as her brown eyes looked up at him that really made his heart beat faster.
"What?" Mia looked confused.
Leo picked her up bridal style, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."
"Um in the Upper West Side," Mia replied.
"Okay, hold on," Leo said as held her close to him as her arms moved around his neck as he jumped up back onto the roof as he started to run really fast towards the West Side. As he run he glanced down every now often as her eyes were closed due to the wind but she still looked beautiful. After reaching the West Side, Mia had told him which building she was in and luckily lived in a loft with a balcony which he jumped down on the balcony as he gently placed her on her feet but still swayed as she steadied herself by holding onto his arms.
"Mia?" a voice called out from inside the apartment as Mia looked behind her as she heard her roommate.
"Shit," she muttered as she looked at Leo. "We got to hide, I thought she had left for her date."
Leo nodded as he picked her up and climbed up the escape the fire escape to the roof of the loft as the two looked over the end as a woman opened the two stain glass doors. A beautiful woman with blonde hair with ombre red tips in beach waves falling to her shoulders with slight tan skin on her athletic frame, hazel green eyes with multiple red/black sexy tattoos on her shoulders down to her arms of roses, thorns, pin up women and sugar skull women with roses. Dressed in a tight black club dress in red popping pumps with red lip stick that matched her shoes looked around. Seeing no one she walked back inside closing the doors behind her as Mia and Leo sighed relieved.
"Sorry about Cherry, I thought she had left an hour ago," Mia spoke as Leo jumped down on the ground quietly with Mia in his arms as her arms were still around his neck.
"Don't worry about," Leo replied as the two watched the woman named Cherry soon leave after three minutes as Leo placed Mia back on the ground.
He helped her inside as he helped her sit on the black leather couch while Leo looked around until he saw the kitchen as he walked over looking for a rag as he got some ice from the freezer, making his way back over to Mia as he placed the ice on where her hand was.
"Let me see," Leo asked politely as Mia nodded. She lifted up her shirt as Leo saw an already forming bruise appearing on her left rib cage as his eyes also fell on the beautiful blue scales that were under her bra. Swallowing his salvia that was building in his mouth, he placed the ice gently to her skin as she hissed. "Sorry."
"Its fine just really sore," Mia whimpered.
"I'm more surprised you aren't afraid of me, usually when people see me they cower in fear," Leo spoke as Mia could tell that it sadden him as his face looked hurt.
"I've seen real monsters in my time growing up, you aren't a monster," Mia spoke truthfully as Leo looked up at him shocked.
Leo felt a wave of such relief and joy he didn't know what to do, he smiled at Mia as what she said had touched him deeply. After so many years of hearing this from people him and his brothers it hurt each time they heard it even if April and Casey didn't think so. Many others still didn't think like their friends even if the turtles explained they weren't monsters. Looking back at the bruise as Mia leaned her head back then looked at her purse. Leo pulled his hand back as he let her through her purse.
"Did they take anything?" Leo asked as he stood up and looked around the loft which had many different paintings on the walls along a few girly items laying around which the fearless leader blushed at.
"No which is good, I never usually keep much on me besides my locket which my mother gave. It's all I have left of her," Mia stood up as she groaned until she touched her locket which Leo noticed.
Leo felt the same, he wouldn't know what to do if he lost his father. Hell, he was even more afraid of what his brothers would do if Splinter died even though it would happen in the future. Turning he saw Mia walk towards the fridge as she pulled out two Coronas.
"Here," She handed on to Leo whom took it as he looked at it. Mia opened hers as she saw Leo place it down, "You never had one before?"
"I prefer sake on occasion but thanks Mia," Leo replied as Mia shrugged her shoulders. "I should be off as I have to get back to my home as it was nice meeting you."
Mia walked with him to the balcony as Leo jumped up on the ledge as he turned to her, "Thank you for rescuing me Leonardo, I wouldn't know what to do if you hadn't shown up."
Leo smiled, "Don't worry about, it's what I do to protect the city I love."
"Well I'm glad you're here," Mia walked up to Leo as she placed a hand on his shoulder as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Thanks again Leo."
Mia walked away as she smiled at him as she walked back inside. Leo touched his cheek as his heart was pounding against his chest. Grinning he jumped off the ledge as he ran home grinning from ear to ear. Just before he entered his home he paced as he calmed down to get that grin off his face as he continued to think of me which made him stop.
Mia. His face flushed as he thought of her kissing his cheek. He thought of his brothers and he thought of not telling. The fearless leader knew it wasn't right but he wanted this memory to himself. Keep how sweet and beautiful Mia was and didn't want Mickey hitting on her like when he used to do to April when they were younger. Taking a deep breath as he kept his face calm he walked back into the lair was he saw Mickey and Donnie playing some video game while Raph was in his gym from the equipment that could be heard.
"Ah my son," Leo turned to see his father walk up to him from his Bonsai room. "How was your meditation?"
Leo gulped as he kept calm as he shrugged his shoulders, "It was peaceful, and I feel better. Thanks sensei."
"That's good," Splinter replied as he went to his room.
Leo hated lying to his father but he wanted to protect Mia and keep her to himself. Going to his room he decided to write down what happened in his journal he kept secret from his brothers.
Not my best work but I hope you like.
