You were mad, you had a horrible day
Your car want down so you had to take your bike and be late for work. You had to deal with your boss being moody for some reason. your computer crashed before you could save so you had to do it all over again, which made you stay at work very late, even if you could finish it at home, like an idiot you decided to do it at the office and when you left, new York city decided to do huge construction all around your office so the only detour possible was the harbor. You were worried a bit, you thought that if you just sprinted to your home everything would be all right…
Well, you were wrong because you were hiding behind a contemnor. Of course, you had to pass next to a group of the purple dragon. Now you couldn't leave harbor because some of the violet lizards were guarding the nearest exit.
You tried to think about some kind of plan when you heard voices and footsteps.
"HEY LOOK I FOUND THE GIRL!"
You turned around, you couldn't see very well but the moon was giving you just enough light to distinguish 7-8 head You dropped your bike, thinking it mint slow them a bit, and started running your life.
You were running like you never run, you turn left, then right, then left. Then your nightmare, a dead end. You looked around for an exit, nothing.
"Oh fuck ", you whispered as you turn around to see the mod approach.
"It's the end sweetheart, come on we won't hurt you too badly if you nice ", said one of the guys, creepy
You step back
The man was playing a huge as he walked towards you with a creepy grin on his face. The rest of the group block the exit as the creepy guys kept walking toward you.
His guard was down, he probably considered you as defenseless.
He was now two step Away from you.
Quickly you took a step and kick him in the nuts.
You kicked as if it was the world cup.
The man dropped the pipe and fail on down bending down, whining.
You pick up the pipe, holding it like a baseball bat.
"Who want a pieces of me!?"You shouted, ready to fight
The group attack you, you manage to hit two head before one of them, took you by behind with a hunting knife at your throat. You were facing the wall. Unable to see who was menacing you or the exit of alley
"Fuck I am in deep shit now "you though
"Wow you are good for a go- WHAT THE FUCK..." he begins
In you peripheral vision you saw something get to throw away on the wall, well someone.
Then you heard a voice
"Well I am sorry to interfere but you seemed to need a bit of help here.., " said the voice sarcastically
You couldn't turn around because of the knife in your throat.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU...A MONSTER!" Cried the man training you
Before you could do anything he was thrown away, the knife o leaving a cut. You quickly took your hand to your neck. The cut would bleed a bit but it was nothing.
"Well, well, you were lucky, normally people don't survive this long, "said the voice
You turned around to face an enormous monster who looked like a Turtle. He seemed pretty Buffy and was wearing a red bandana. A grin on his face
You were looking at him with begin eyes. As you opened your mouth to speak, he looked anticipating your reaction.
"WHAT IN THE LOVE OF GOD WAS ON THAT KNIFE," you said confuse walking to get the knife off the ground?
There was nothing on the blade. No slim nor oil. You looked back to check if there was really a giant turtle in front of you. It was the case
"Okay, I really hope there weren't any drugs on the knife, cause I am seeing a weird thing" you told to yourself as if he wasn't there.
You glanced at him, he looked at you as if you were the giant green thing.
"What?" he said, he seemed insulted
"Hum … are you real?" you asked without thinking
"What do you mean real?" He responds rudely.
He was just standing in the middle of way since he wasn't answering your question. You walked toward him and about one step away from him. You poke his arm with your finger. You touched the strange skin, he immediately took away his arm.
"What the shells-" he begins
"You are real, you said surprise, and anyways I am going to head home"
You took two step away before getting hold back by the collar or you're top. You looked back it was the weird turtle.
"Did you forgot the purple dragons are searching for you", he said
"Fuck that's right", you admit
"I am going to take you away safe and sound", he added as he if was about to take you bridal style
You stepped away, you could leave without your bike, your car is dead how were you supposed to go to work. You explained the situation and with a bit of begging, your savior accepted to help you get your precious bicycle back but you didn't escape the monologue about how lucky you were to be fine after this.
You got your bicycle back and he decided to walk you back to your home. You tried to light up the mood by asking some question
"So first what are you?"
"I am mutant turtle", he responded rudely
"Okay, hum are you the only one?"
"No got three others brother"
"Heh … do they all have a red bandana?"
"No …"
"Oh, My God, you are a red ranger …, you said turning to him all excited, are you the leader?"
"… No", he looked down
He seemed a bit moody about your last question
"Don't worry being the leader sucks, like you have all the pressure of your team on your shoulder if they feel it's because of you because you didn't do your job correctly and all that stress ...NO THANKS", you said trying to help him
It was enough to question, you remind silent until you got back home. There wasn't a soul around.
"So thank you red ranger for your help", you said breaking the silence, "I hate to own something to someone so if there is anything I can do to pay you back come tell me, my apartment is this one", you pointed the window next to the fire escape.
"Okay noted", you heard but when you turn back there was no one
You got to your apartment and got to bed.
The next morning you were sure it was a dream but the cut on your neck was telling other whose. You went on with your day, you were now sure it didn't happen I was a dream. You got your car fixed
Time skip (48 hours later)
Night time
You were on the couch watching TV, you had forgotten about the event when you heard a knock on your windows. You walked to hit and pushed the Rideau. You flinched a bit, the red ranger was there and he was talking to someone, you could see because of the curtains, you pushed the Rideau and saw there were three other turtles and a guy with a hockey mask. They were talking and they all looked stressed. As you opening
You were able to catch a tidbit of the conversation.
"… You are sure we can trust her, "the blue turtle said
"Do you have any better?" the red ranger respond
You stood there looking at them. Before you could hear anything else, the orange turtle spotted you.
"HEY, IS THAT HER? Wow you **** good taste, *****" he shouted pointing you, but you weren't able to hear the entire sentence.
The little group turned back, facing you.
"Yeah … it's her …" the red ranger said, he looked pretty annoyed but his gaze was piercing.
All those eyes on you made you feel a bit uncomfortable. You tried to hide it without no success.
"Hum ... good evening… " you waved "how can I help you?"
The blue one walked towards the edge of the building, jump and landed just in front of you. He had a very serious face, even though you were sure it was totally forced. You stepped backward, lifting your fist, one on in front of your face the other protecting your stomach. You kneel were flex. You were looking at him straight in the eyes. In your peripheral vision, you saw movement behind him but you didn't move, you stayed focus if he was going to attack you, you were ready.
"Good reaction ... I see why-", he was cut by the orange ranger who appeared from behind him
"So you smashed the heads of three purple dragons, that is so awesome!" he said stars in his eyes
Before you could do say the rest of the group was in your apartment. You didn't like that, your apartment was your personal safe spot and you rarely invite people in. You drop your fighting position.
"Okay… how can I help you?" you asked a bit wary
"Well you know, when you said that you would pay us back …" the red ranger began
"Okay I see, how much, "you said with a disappointed look
"What do you mean how much?" asked the purple one
"How much money … you asked for payback, right?"
They looked at you concern
"Like you aren't gonna come see me every month asking me to give you money because I own you a dept. and each month the price will be higher?"
"What. No, we don't take mo-"the blue one said
"What? You mean some people actually do that … shit thinking about all the money we could get, we could afford so many thin-" the orange one said dramatizing before getting ``calmed`` by the red ranger
"As a payback we need you to help us save our friend" said the red ranger, you could hear in his voice that he was getting impatient.
"Okay, I see … well explain to me what happens, take a seat "you said showing the living room "does any of you want to something to drink"
They all refused, in a mix of shaking head and apologies
Then your cell phone rang, you apologies, pick up and went in the kitchen
It was your little brother, the only family member that called you just to talk to you.
"Hey matt"
"Hey y/n, hum how are you?"
"Good… good you?"
"Fine…."
"Matt I am really sorry but I got guest over"
"Oh, friends?"
"Yeah so talk to you later stay strong matt"
You hang up a bit mad to cut short your conversation with your little brother and walk out of the kitchen, you spotted the red ranger leaning on the wall, you smile to him and he responds with a small grin. You walk toward you TV and asked the big question
"So how can I help you?" With a tone of anger still present in your voice
"Hum well…" tried to start the blue ranger
"We need you to help us save our friends
"What?" you were confused "Why would you need my help?"
"It's a long story …."
You sat down almost letting yourself falling on the ground
"What a coincidence I love stories, "you said with an inch of rudeness, you were ready to help but you hated to feel played with.
"Ok, we will go straight to the point …." The red ranger began
He explained you everything after he saved you. He and the rest of his friend went to sabotage their activity which were heavy arms dealing. The plan was simple, Michelangelo, the orange one, Leonardo, the blue one, Cassie, the hockey guy and the red ranger, who still hasn't properly introduce itself, were supposed to bait the attention of the gang while April, the friend who needs to be saved, and Donatello, the purple one was supposed to hack the system of the weapons and destroyed them, they were successful on that point but right after that they were found out while they tried to escape. April was snatched by multiple enemies and we got overpowered
"Okay I understand but why do you need my help, "you asked
"Now they know how many we are and who we are, so we need you to save April while we are bait" he responds
"And you want me a normal loser to save someone from a gang?"
"Well, we heard that you smashed the head of a couple of them, so you could be pretty useful" interfere Leonardo
"One last question is there any chance for me to die tonight?"
There as an awkward silence in the room
"Oh well if I die I won't have to complete that god damn report, oh well a dept. is a dept." you said as if it was nothing, you got up, "so when do we do this?"
"Well-"tried to say Donatello before getting cut
"The sooner the better," the red ranger said sharply
"Perfect give me 15 minutes" as you entered your room and closed the door
