"AH!" Casey jumped onto my back at the sight of a rat. I just sat there and pretended this was one of the most normal things in the world. Well, in my world… it was. The rat scurried away, but Casey hung on.

"Um. Casey?" Raph said. "The rat's gone. You can let go of Em now."

I cocked an eyebrow and looked up at the teenager. Casey blushed and stepped down. "I wasn't scared! I just… wanted to see the street better," he defended. I just laughed and rolled my eyes.

We had picked up on Foot activity, but we weren't sure where. Leo ordered us to split up, to cover more ground. It was Raph, Casey, and I on one team, and than April, Donnie (hehehe), Leo, and Mikey on another. I honestly had no idea what was going through Leo's head when he put the three rowdiest members of the team in one group, (the Trio of Doom, as Mikey referred to us), but hey, I didn't object.

"Hey, Em," Raph called. I turned to look at him. Before I knew it, I was hanging over Raph, my waist resting on his shoulder. "Raph!" I said, laughing. "Put me down!"

"Nope." Raph just snickered.

"Casey, do something!" I managed to peak my head out from behind Raph's shell. My cheeks were turning red from the blood rushing to my head.

"I don't know, Emily…" Casey crossed his arms and put on that devilish smirk he had. "I'm likin' the view."

At that moment, I realized that he had a perfect view of my butt. "CASEY! You're such a PERV!" I yelled, making him laugh. "Raph, put me down!"

Raph let go of my legs, and I fell onto my back with an "oof!" I brushed myself off and glared at Casey and Raph. "Boys…" I rolled my eyes while they continued to laugh.

"-I expect you to proceed in this mission," we heard a voice say from below us. "It is simple compared to my other warriors demands. If you do fail, the consequences will be… grave."

We all peeked over, to see the metal armor and kabuto that we've all grown to know too well. Although, two new characters were with the Shredder. They weren't mutants, but appeared to be human. It as a man and a woman. The girl had wavy bleach blonde hair down to her shoulder blades, and the man had slicked back, jet black hair. The woman had kamas in her belt and the man had scythe. Why did I feel like something wasn't right…

"I wanna go down there," I said firmly, turning to the two boys. Alarmed looks fell upon both their faces.

"Emily, are you crazy!?" Casey said.

I sighed. "Not to fight, I just wanna get a better look at those other guys."

They thought for a moment, but agreed. We jumped the rooftops and landed quietly next to them, hiding behind a wall. I still couldn't see their faces, but I heard Shredder's plan.

They wanted to set the building on fire. Why, I didn't know, all I heard was Shredder saying something about setting the building aflame.

"CLANK!" I jumped at the sudden noise. Casey was so nerve wrecked, he dropped one of his hockey sticks. The look on his face said "I'm so so so so so so sorry…"

A tight chain wrapped around my waist and pulled me out of hiding. Casey and Raph followed. "I should've known you would show," Shredder growled.

"Well you didn't, so, boo!," I said bitterly, unwrapping the chain from my waist.

"I am not here to fight," said Shredder. I looked up at him in confusion. "But they are."

The two people stepped up, and I gasped when I realized why I knew something was wrong. "Emiliah, meet Marilyn and Arthur Gray."

I saw Raph's jaw drop, along with mine. Casey stared at us in confusion. "Do you know these people?!" He asked.

"You were dead…" I said under my breath. I started to shout, "FOR THIRTEEN YEARS I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

Casey grabbed my shoulder and pulled my back. "Skunk, are these people your parents?"

"Correct," said my father. He turned to look at me. He literally had the same hair as Loki. "Look at you." He lifted up my chin. "You've grown."

"Well duh." I swatted away his hands and looked at my mother. "Do you work for him?!"

"Well, yes." She smirked, the same way that I do. The longer I looked at them, the more of me I saw. I wonder if the blonde hair was from my mother, and then the jet black in my bangs and the single white stripe through my hair was from my father. "For the past thirteen years, he has been our master."

You'd think that I'd be the least bit happy that I found my parents. After thirteen years, here they were.

No. Not at. I was angered. Heartbroken.

They dumped me in the cold. I was two, and they just left me for Shredder.

Arthur jumped on me, his scythe drawn. We were all quick to react, though. I gave him a hard kick to the chest and then Casey and Raph pinned him down. I just slapped him.

And it felt good.

"What are you planning?" I hissed, staring into his dark brown eyes, exactly like mine.

An evil grin spread across his face. "You're too late."

I looked up, and noticed that my mother was gone. "Crap!" I hissed through my teeth. "We've gotta get 'er," I ordered. "I heard them saying that they're gonna set the building on fire." And with that, I ran off. With Raph and Casey following.

I ripped open the door, but a fiery explosion threw be back. "Emily!" Raph grabbed my hand and brought me to my feet. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," I brushed off my jacket and pants. "But there are still people in there and the building's about to go up in flames." I turned, so that I was looking at Casey and Raph directly in the eye. "Raph, go set off a fire alarm. Casey, you and me are gonna go pound on doors. Our only priority is getting everybody out."

"What about your parents?" Casey asked as I turned around.

I paused. "...They don't matter right now." As I started for the doors, I quietly said to myself, "They never did."

"BANG! BANG! BANG!" I pounded on the doors of a random floor, yelling "Everybody out! There's a fire! Get out!" Soon, everybody got the memo, and there was nobody in the apartments.

Raph and Casey were already outside when I finally exited the building, heavily coughing from smoke. Raph patted me on the back.

Firefighters surrounded the building, and the Shellraiser pulled up in the alley. Apparently, Raph or Casey had sent a distress signal to everybody else.

Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and April climbed out and ran to meet us. "Are you guys okay?!" Donnie said, bending down so that he was eye level with me.

"Y-yeah," I said, still coughing. "We're fine."

"He's still in there!" The sad voice of a woman brought me to attention. "My husband! My husband, he's still in there!" The woman was crying to a fire fighter.

"I'm sorry ma'am…" Said the fireman.

I looked up at Casey and Raph. "We're going in there again, aren't we?" I said. The two boys exclaimed devious glances, and nodded. I smiled and sighed. "Okay. Here we go…" I quickly tied my jacket over my nose and mouth and took off.

"GUYS!" Leo yelled.

"HEY!" A fireman called. "GET BACK HERE! YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!" But of course, we just ignored him.

The lobby was a wreck. Smoke was covering the ceiling and flames were everywhere.

But that wouldn't stop us. We started for the staircase, and…

'SNAP'

"AHHH!"

"CASEY!"

… It all went to hell.
