Jillian stared into the darkness as she watched the glowing clock tick away in the small room she was being held in. 3:19… 3:20. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that it was finally time. Time for her to get out of this place once and for all. She tried her best to swallow but her nerves had tightened up her throat as she pulled off her blankets and set her feet down on the ground.

The cold seemed to have fogged up the window this night as Jillian took hold of her backpack and slowly pulled it over her shoulders. She got up from the bottom of the bunk bed and looked at the top to see Kristin still sleeping, no surprised how that teenager could sleep past a fire drill. She turned and looked at the single bed across the room to see Laura's back was facing her.

Jillian for a second didn't want to leave the orphanage, after all, where else was she going to go? That was when she remembered her older brother, whom was quickly put into foster care. Tears welled up into her eyes as she wanted so much to be with her brother.

Jillian blinked back her tears and she roughly rubbed them away before yanking on her shirt. She will be reunited with him once again.

But first, she had to get out of New York City and get back to Jacksonville, Florida.

Jillian opened the door to her room and peeked out into the dark hallway. Nothing seemed to be stirring as of right now. It sounded completely dead that she was afraid to even get out of her room. But she pushed herself out and silently closed the door and crept amongst in the shadows of the orphanage. Her eyes stayed focused on the light at the end of the hallway where the TV was playing.

Jillian nervously bit her lip as she glanced back down the hall just to be sure that no one was coming out of the bathroom. She exhaled as she crept over to the other side of the wall and slowly peeked over into the supervisor's room. She wasn't surprised to see that everyone in that room had dozed off. Jillian smiled triumphantly as she quickly walked down the rest of the hall and silently bounded down the steps.

Normally, people would've raced to the front door as their first chance of escape. But Jillian had already found out that the door was set on an alarm after 5 p.m. and won't disarm until 9 the next morning. It didn't matter to her, Jillian was… special.

Jillian glanced back down the hall before she opened the fragile door that was directly under the stairs. The door to the basement only had the other orphan's belongings and a storm drain.

This was the place that Jillian was heading to right now.

The sixteen year old only glanced around for a little bit until she found a luggage that looked familiar. She frowned when she realized that her luggage had a new kind of lock on it.

"Oh, well" Jillian whispered.

A spark of blue light filled the room as a jolt of electricity zapped at the lock. The current that was held within that little zap made the metal lock snap in half.

"Where is it" Jillian pondered, "I know I put it in here somewhere. There it is! Wouldn't want to leave this here with them. In just about four days, I'll be reunited with them"

Jillian smiled at the picture with her family at a waterfall. She remembered that day, how excited she was to start on that trail. Then by the end of that day and onto the next, her whole leg from the hip down to her toes ached from the hike. Back then, she would always tell her family that she was never ever going to go back to the waterfall ever again. But now, she would give anything to go back to those times just to be with her family once more.

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked back around at the empty basement. She had already spent too much time at that orphanage. Jillian wanted to go back to Jacksonville, find her brother, and start out their lives all over again. She was sure they could both manage.

"I'm sorry mom" Jillian choked.

The young girl walked over to the storm drain and heaved it open. Jillian took out her flashlight and shone it down into the murky water.

"Great" Jillian squirmed.

"Always just like you" she could hear her mother say to her, "You always want to use your gifts to the fullest"

Jillian sighed as she knew as of now that this wasn't one of her most proud moments; so she jumped into the sewer below and into the water.

"Well, that's it" Mikey yawned, "Nothing down at this end. I'm doubling back now"

"Great work!" the female voice echoed through the coms unit, "Once again you finished first before your brothers"

"That's only because he's got his skateboard with him" Leo remarked.

"It gets the job done faster" Mikey told the eldest.

Mikey turned his skateboard back over from where he first came from and then started to petal back. A big part of him just wanted to skateboard down the sewers all day and not just go home… now that Donnie had a girlfriend.

"Elodie! Please for the love of God, tell me that I won't be coming home to a make out session" Raphael was saying.

Mikey could only roll his eyes at the remark; it was no surprise as to how all three of the turtles are now sick of the way things had flipped upside down. Elodie was found lost in the sewers with her baby sister in tow, running away from this lady who collected people that were magically gifted like Rain and Elodie, except Rain had come into her powers when she was only a baby and not a teenager like everyone else from her kind. Long story short, they saved the baby and the day from a terrible upbringing and now Donnie was no longer Mikey's brother but also Elodie's boyfriend.

Mikey was so distracted by his thoughts that he tripped and landed hard on the concrete as his skateboard skidded out and into the water. He moaned as he watched it sink to the bottom of the icky, green water. Without that, he jumped down into the water and swam over to his skateboard, totally not expecting to see another hand brush against his when he picked it up.

Mikey looked up to see Jillian staring back at him with the same wide-eyed expression as he did, "Holy crap!"

"You're a gigantic turtle! And you can talk!" Jillian yelled out.

"You're a chick that can breathe underwater!" Mikey screamed out the same time that she did.
