*ugh lame name for the story, I'm sorry, but I literally had no idea what to call this, even though I am partway through Chapter 4. In case I forget to put this in the description, this is set in the 2012 universe, though at an undetermined date in the future. I'm thinking about having the two OCs pair up with a turtle each, but ehh I don't know yet, let me know what you think about it.*
Lianna sighed as she looked around her new room. At least that was the one good thing about their recent move from Los Angeles to New York, she finally got her own room. The blond swept her braid from one shoulder to the other, the tip if it reaching to her waist. Her blue/green eyes took in the room and she pictured what it would be like when all of her furniture was in place.
Across the hall, her cousin Mattie looked over her room as well. Mattie had lived with Lianna and her parents since her own parents had died in a fire three years ago. The emergency crews hadn't been able to reach their house in time, as the road was torn up from an earthquake, the same earthquake that had caused the gas leak that had started the fire.
Mattie had chopped her dark brown hair herself before the move, so while parts of it were shoulder length there were parts that were both longer and shorter. Her dark drown, almost black eyes, took in the room. While soon it would be filled with her things and her things alone, she didn't feel like this would ever be home.
Why couldn't they have stayed in Los Angeles? Just when she was starting to make friends, her uncle had been transferred by his employer to here, New York of all places. She knew no one here, and she didn't feel like starting over again. Sighing, she sat down in the middle of her room, pulling her laptop, which was constantly by her side in its pouch, out so that she could video chat with her friends back in Los Angeles. Even that wasn't home, home had been a little town close to the ocean where she and her parents had been happy.
She stopped herself right there. She would not think about her parents, she would not cry. She turned on her computer and was soon chatting with one of her two friends. Lianna had walked across the hall to talk to her, but seeing that she was busy, she headed down stairs. The movers were just bringing in the first pieces of furniture, and she was happy to see her bed was one of those pieces.
Soon her room was completely furnished, though without Mattie's things it still felt a bit empty as there was plenty of space. She looked at the walls which had been painted her favorite shade of green and, reaching into a box, pulled out some posters and pictures to put on them. Once that was done and she had made her bed, she dubbed her room good enough for the day, she could live out of her boxes until she got around to putting everything else away.
Pulling out her own laptop, she decided to look up the school she was going to, classes wouldn't start for another two months, but when they did she was hoping to already have a few friends that went there. Unlike her old school, however, there was no chat room for the students, so she looked up one, feeling a bit lonely. She had always been the class clown, but even so she had never had many friends.
She found one that looked interesting and logged in, making the user name NewInNewYork. She watched a few minutes of other people chatting when she got a private message from the user GeniusInX. It said, "Hey dude or dudette, why aren't you saying anything?" She sat for a minute before replying, "I am just enjoying getting to hear about New York, I just recently moved here as my name suggests. What do you like most about New York?"
Not even ten seconds later she got a reply that said, "PIZZA!" She laughed softly before replying, "I will have to get me some then." A short time later he replied, "You should go to Mr. Murakami's noodle shop and try the Pizza Gyoza. Tell him Mikey sent you." "I just might do that, thanks for the suggestion Mikey. I'm Lianna by the way."
"Nice to meet you Lianna, I have to go, my brothers want me, catch you later!" Before he was completely gone, however, he sent her a friend request on there, which she accepted. She watched the chat feed a little longer, before closing her computer and heading downstairs. Mattie was down there with her parents and they were trying to decide what to eat.
"I was just on a chat room and someone suggested Mr. Murakami's noodle shop. They said to try the Pizza Gyoza." Lianna said. Her mother said, "Well it can't hurt to try. I will call and your father can go pick them up." That was done, and soon they were all popping a Pizza Gyoza into their mouth. Mattie and Lianna were instantly in love, both being avid pizza fans to begin with. Lianna's parents liked them, but they weren't as impressed as the girls were.
Weeks passed and soon both girl's rooms were set up the way the wanted and they were completely unpacked. Mattie continued to talk to her friends back home, while Lianna and Mikey became closer and closer. He had asked one time if she had any siblings and she told him about having a cousin who lived with her, which was the closest she had to a sister. She asked him if he went to her school and was slightly disappointed when he responded that he was homeschooled.
They had almost been talking for a month when she made a comment about how cool it would be to meet in person sometime. "I don't know, last time I met someone I met on the internet he didn't turn out to be who I thought he was." Mikey replied. Lianna thought, "Aww poor Mikey, he must have been kidnapped! So lucky that he got back home safely." They were having a great talk about some of their favorite comics, when Mikey suddenly said, "I have to go, talk to you later Lianna!"
She had gotten used to this, Mikey leaving suddenly. She assumed it had something to do with his three brothers he had mentioned, Leo, Raph and Donnie, but she was never quite sure. She got up and went to Mattie's room, her timing impeccable as Mattie was just getting done chatting with her friends. "Hey Mattie, want to go fence?" she asked her cousin.
The dark haired girl grinned and said, "Sure, meet you in the basement once I grab my gear." The basement was an exercise room for the family, who were all into fencing. Lianna's parents had at one time in their lives been fencing instructors, that was how they met in fact, before her dad got a big corporate job, the same which had led to this move. Still they all kept up with their fencing, Mattie having been taught since she came to join their family, and she could hold her own now quite nicely.
Mattie and Lianna fenced for an hour before calling it quits, then they turned to hand to hand combat. Lianna's mother had always wanted her daughter to be safe, so she had her take some self-defense classes back in Los Angeles, enrolling Mattie as well when she came to live with them. They had even made up some moves themselves, which they enjoyed doing. A half hour into that, Lianna's mom called them up for dinner.
Later, after they had helped with the dishes and headed upstairs, Mattie said, "Come with me." She led Lianna to her window, which had a fire escape. She climbed out onto it and motioned Lianna to join her. Once she had they both headed to the roof, where Lianna found a great view of the city. "This is amazing!" she told her cousin. "I discovered it the other night, when a rat went running by my window."
"We should fence up here! Look at all the great obstacles which would add to the fun!" Lianna said. "I thought you would say that, so I took the liberty of grabbing your gear when I went to the bathroom earlier and brought it up here." Mattie replied with a smirk.
"So that's why you took so long." Lianna said with a laugh, "Let's do this!" They geared up and were just about to get into it, when Lianna held up her hand. Mattie waited, listening. She heard what had caught Lianna's ear, sounds of clanging and someone saying something like boyakasha. They hustled quietly over to edge of their building, looking to the roof below. Their eyes widening with what they saw.
Four human sized turtles, fighting what appeared to be ninja robots. In fact, when the girls took a closer look, they realized the turtles themselves were ninjas. They shared a look of wonder before returning their gazes to the turtles. One of them, he had a purple mask on, shouted, "There are too many of them!"
The girls could see that he was right, as more ninja robots poured onto the roof. Soon the four turtles were overpowered by the shear mass of ninja robots. "We got to help them!" Lianna said, looking at her cousin. Mattie nodded and then both girls backed away from the edge before taking a running start, leaping over the edge of their roof to the one below, landing and going immediately into a roll before standing and attacking the nearest robots with their fencing blades.
That got the attention of the robots as the ones nearest to the girls were sliced, having removed the safety guard as they landed from their weapons. They hacked their way towards the turtles, and the robots, momentarily turning their attention to the girls, suddenly found themselves attacked on both sides as the turtles found their footing again and went on the attack.

"Umm guys, I hate to break it to you, but we've been discovered." Mikey said in a mock whisper to his brothers. "No, really Mikey? I hadn't noticed." Raph said to his younger brother. "We'll worry about that later right now, let's teach these Foot Bots whose boss." Leo said to both of them. With a nod from the two brothers and Donnie, the four attacked, throwing their opponents off balance. "Ohh Casey is going to be so mad that he missed such an epic throw down!" Raph said somewhat gleefully.

The cousins parried and thrust and sliced, dodging the Foot Bots with ease. ""This is so cool! We are fighting robots alongside of human sized turtles! It's like something out of a comic book!" Lianna thought. Her cousin was just like, "Oh yeah this feels great!" They had often teamed up against Lianna's parents in fencing, so they had learned to move around each other, which was coming in handy with this. They ducked under the other's blow without a word spoken between them, attuned to each other as if they could read the other's mind.
Soon what was left of the robots retreated, leaving them alone on the roof with the turtles. "Dude, that was awesome! Way to jump in and save the day!" the orange masked turtle said. Something about the way that he spoke tickled at Lianna's mind, but with the adrenaline still rushing through her body, she couldn't quite think of why. "Great, two more humans know about us. They'll probably run home and tell everyone all about us." The one with the red mask said.
Mattie scoffed and said, "Like anyone would even believe us." Then she turned to Lianna and said mockingly, "Oh guess what!? Last night, Lianna and I rescued and fought with four ninja turtles!" The orange and purple masked ones hid their smiles behind their hands as the red masked one growled. The one with the blue mask on smiled a bit at the spunky girl, before saying to the others, "We got to go."
"Wait!" said Lianna, "Who and what are you?" "We are mutants." The purple masked one answered. "As for who we are, I am Leonardo, that's Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo." The blue masked one said. "Or for short, Leo, Donnie…." The one named Michelangelo started. "Raph and Mikey!" Lianna finished, surprise filling her voice.
