"The neck is itchy." Mikey whines. "Does it have to be turtlenecks?"
"No, if you want we can wear frilly dresses." Raph rolls his eyes , "Just put it on and stop whining." Mikey eyes his orange shirt before pulling it over his head.
"Do you think it will work with your glasses Don?" Raph asks as Donnie pulls the neck of the shirt over his nose.
"It will be fine Raph, do you think it will work with your tiny nose?" he taps Raph's nose. He slaps his hand away and covers his nose.
"Ha Ha, very funny."
I pick up the scissors and snap them. They all look at me. "Alright, who's first?" I ask
"Agh! Not the hair!" Mikey covers his head with his hands and hides behind Donnie. I roll my eyes.
"It's not for your hair, it's for the sleeves dummy." Raph say as he steps toward me. I carefully slip the scissors into the threads that hold the sleeve onto the rest of the garment and snip. I grab the end of the thread and pull until the sleeve falls to the ground.
"Ah, clever." Mikey says from over my shoulder. I shake my head and continue to do the same to all the sleeves.
"Ok, now we all have a color and a look, the green shorts?" I say and they all nod. "Good." I look over Don. "why are you wearing suspenders?" I raise an eyebrow
"It's my look. And my thing, I always wear suspenders."
"Exactly, anyone who knows you will know it's you."
"Good thing he doesn't have any friends." Raph crosses his arms. "that way, we have nothing to worry about."
"Is anyone else cold?" Mikey rubs his sun kissed shoulders. "And why did we have to take the sleeves off?"
I pinch the bridge of my nose. "We went over this. With all the work we will be doing, we will get overheated if we have to many layers. Now are we good to go?" I place my hands on my hips. I look at Don. he blinks his brown eyes then nods. Raph shakes his red head then says
"Sure, whatever. Let's go get ourselves killed."
"Killed?" the blond jumps and looks at me with worry plastered on his face. I look into his blue eyes then into Raph's green ones and scowl
"We are not going to get killed. We are going to be hero's." I stand a little taller.
"Yeah, hero's, just like the ones in my comic books!" Mikey smiles under his mask. I nod.
"Well then what are we waiting for? The world isn't going to save itself." Donnie twirls a broom and slides it under his arm.
"Lets go over the plan one more time." I say
"Yes, story time!" Mikey falls to the floor and crosses his legs. The others sit on the floor next to him.
"Ok, sneak out of the orphanage, and sneak around town, keep your masks on at all times. Once we find something to do, such as; helping an old lady cross the street or save children from a burning building." Raph raises his hand.
"Yes?" I roll my eyes.
"Can't we just track down one of the many gangs on the streets? That would get us noticed as heros."
"Gangs? Are you serious?" Donnie leans forward to look at him around Mikey.
"What? Are you scared?" he raises an eyebrow.
"No, just concerned for your well being."
"Stop it!" Mikey stands and pulls his mask off of his face "stop fighting! I just want to get out of here! I don't care if we end up as hero's, I want to see the outside of these walls!"
"Mikey's right." I say as the other two stand as well. "Let's just go, but keep your masks on." they all nod. I nod and turn to the air vents.
