Fire burned everywhere. Screams filled the room as the fire engulfed the other test subjects. I had grown to care for the kids that lived in the cages next to me and seeing them get burned alive made my heart break. I frantically searched for a way out as I tore the door to my cage off its hinges. Fire surrounded me and I knew I had to get out before the building collapsed. It was then that I spotted a hole in the ceiling. It was big enough to climb through and was right over a table that was clear of fire. I started for the table, but heard cries for help behind me. I turned and saw two cages, each with a little boy staring at me from behind the bars.

"Please! Don't leave us here!"

One of the boys, a little brown haired boy with wolf ears, reached his hand out towards me. Tears were streaming down his smoke covered face. I couldn't leave someone like him to die a horrible painful death. I ran over to the cages, barely dodging debris that was falling, and broke the cages open. The boys, both with wolf ears and matching tails, buried their faces into my stomach, crying with fear. I held them close, rubbing their backs in an attempt to calm them down.

"Ok. You have to be brave now. There's a hole in the ceiling that will let us get out of here."

The boys looked at me, unsure, but then they slowly started for the hole. I followed close behind, making sure to help the boys when they needed it. The boys climbed onto the table and I helped them both climb through the hole. A couple minutes later, I emerged from the hole onto the roof. Stars filled the sky and a light wind was blowing, ruffling our lab gowns.

"We have to fly now. I know we can do it because the scientists taught us. Are you ready?"

The boys looked scared, their wolf ears flattened against their heads and their tails tucked between their legs. But they gathered themselves together, nodding before running for the edge of the building. I held my breath as they jumped, disappearing over the edge. Then, to my relief, they both soared up into the night sky. Looking down into the hole one last time, I sighed before running for the edge. I jumped into the night sky, my wings cutting through the air as I flew up to join the boys. Once we were together, we flew away from the burning building that had been our prison for so many years.

NORMAL P.O.V

Raphael walked through the sewers, muttering to himself about his brothers. He and Leonardo had had another argument that ended with Raphael leaving. At least now, Raphael had a place to go whenever he left the lair. Ever since he met Danny and her brothers, Raphael felt like he had two families.

As Raphael approached the door to Danny's lair, he heard angry voices from inside. It had to be around ten at night, way past the bedtime Danny had set for her brothers. Ever since Raphael had brought a TV over, Nicky wanted to watch movies all the time.

"GO TO BED NOW !"

"NO! I wanna stay up and watch Robocop again."

"You've already watched it four times in a row. It's time for bed."

Raphael stood by the door, smirking as he listened to the argument between the siblings. Growls and snarls erupted from the other side, making Raphael nervous. He decided it was time to end the argument and knocked on the door. The growling stopped immediately and was followed by groans and grumbles. Raphael slowly opened the door and walked in. He saw a glimpse of black fur and then smooth skin as Danny morphed back from her wolf form.

"Hey, Danny."

Danny turned and smiled at Raph, grateful for some company that didn't argue with what she said.

"Hey, Raph. Did you, um, hearing anything?"

Raph nodded slightly, making Danny groan with embarrassment. She hated it when Raph visited and she was arguing with her brothers.

"Sorry you had to hear that. Nicky wanted to watch Robocop again, but it was way past his bedtime and…" Danny sighed and plopped down on the couch. Raph smirked and joined Danny. He had made the couch himself so it was big enough for him to sit on comfortably. Danny scooched over and snuggled into Raph's side. He held her close and they sat like that for a bit.

"I like it when you come over. You keep my sanity in check after dealing with those two."

Raph chuckled and rubbed Danny's shoulder. He knew exactly how she felt. Raph looked over at Danny and smiled to himself. It was a strange thought for him, but he thought that Danny looked innocent and adorable. She wore an oversized gray hoodie, a pair of recycled jean shorts and a pair of black converse. When Raph first met Danny, all she had for clothing was a stained gown, similar to what patients of insane asylums would wear. Raph gathered what he could for clothing, mostly things that people had thrown away. But Danny didn't mind.

"So...do you want to watch a movie? I'm sure you have some time."

Raph looked down at Danny, who was looking at him with her shining blue eyes. Man, he loved those eyes.

"Sure."

Danny's eyes lit up and she looked excited.

"Awesome! I found a new movie while I was out the other night."

Danny got up and exchanged Robocop for the new movie. From what Raph saw of the box, he guessed the movie had to do with sharks.

"This movie sounds great. It's called Deep Blue Sea. The box said it had to do with sharks at a research center, which is in the middle of the ocean, that go crazy and attack the scientists during a storm."

Danny settled back into her spot on the couch, snuggling into Raph as the movie started. Raph looked at Danny, loving the way the TV light reflected off her soft skin, before turning to watch the movie.

Halfway through the movie, Danny started to fidget. Raph thought she was just adjusting the sweater, but Danny fidgeted more and more. Finally, Raph looked over and saw that it wasn't the sweater that was bothering Danny, but the metal collar around her neck.

"You really need to get that thing off. It's too tight. Your brothers have theirs off so why don't you?"

Danny huffed with annoyance. "Don't you think I've tried to get this off myself?! Everytime I try, I get shocked and the shocks aren't like your average dog collar. They're much more intensified."

Danny sat up and sat with her arms crossed. She was upset at Raph because she had explained to him many times before why she couldn't take the shock collar off. He knew that and felt bad about making Danny upset.

"Sorry. It's just that...I'm worried about what might happen if it stays on any longer."

Danny looked at Raph, knowing that he was right. It made her scared to think of what could happen if the collar did stay on any longer. She slightly flung herself on Raph and hugged him tight. Tears pricked her eyes and Danny started to cry. Raph sat still, not knowing what to do at first, but slowly, he wrapped his arms around Danny. He wanted to make her feel better since he didn't like seeing her upset.

"Hey...I'm sorry for makin' you cry. It's just that I really am worried about you with that collar on. For once in my life, I have something that I care about and I don't wanna lose it."

Danny didn't say anything. Instead, she moved from hugging Raph's waist to sitting in his lap. Danny curled up and rested her head in the crook of Raph's neck. Raph held her close, resting his head against Danny's.
