Raphael rubbed his missing eye. The eye his own brother took from him. He was betrayed by the brother he admired most, the brother he looked up to, the brother he would have followed to hell and back. But that was all behind him now, his brothers were off living their own hellish lives, trying to survive in the war filled world.

Raph froze hearing a sound from his left side, his blind side. He slowly turned his head to the side. He ducked and rolled just as a metal leg smashed down into the space he had previously been standing.

The red-masked turtle crouched snarling at his attacker," Fish-face."

"Raphael. Long time no see, I like the new look." Xever said with a wicked grin motioning to his left eye.

Raph snorted," I'm not in the mood for your shit, fish sticks so fuck off! "

"You scared to fight now that big brother isn't here to protect you," Fish-face taunted with a sinister smile.

"Screw you."

"Have it your way then, turtle." Xever said as he threw himself at Raphael attempting to connect his metal leg to the turtles jaw.

Raph bent over backwards the leg passing harmlessly over his face. He unsheathed his sais from his legs slashing it across Xever's shoulder. Xever hissed flipping into a handstand spinning his robot legs, colliding with the green eyed turtle's plastron. Raphael grunted as his shell collided with the rooftop, quickly finding himself pinned to the cement. "You lose turtle, now tell me were the rest of you filthy mutants are hiding, and I'll make your death quicker." Fish-face leered.

"I'll never tell you anything, Shit-face!" Raph said through gritted teeth as Xever put more weight on to his chest.

Fish-face frowned, " Tut, Tut, Tut. We're going to have to do something about that mouth of yours."

The emerald turtle's eye narrowed as he growled at the other mutant. Fish-face reached for his weapon and Raphael was able to work his arm free and punch Xever across the face. The fish snarled and snapped his fangs across Raph's throat. The turtle's single electric green eye widening as he screamed in pain, the sound dying off as blood welled into his mouth and throat.

"Well that took care of our smart-ass problem, but if you can't talk, your useless to me," Xever snarked as he reached for his knife. But before he could reach it, he was tackled off of Raph by a blue and green blur.

Raph gasped in pain reaching for his throat. It hurt. It hurt so much that white spots marred his vision. He blinked away the unconsciousness. He tried to focus on the fight going on before him, but he could feel unconsciousness creeping on the edges of his mind. The last thing he saw before he lost awareness was a pair of familiar sapphire eyes.

-Few months later

Raph signed angrily. He was pissed, that they had lost the supplies and now he was "yelling" at Grace. She watched unamused, " dude, it's fine."

Raph growled and signed some more. Grace sighed, "you know sometimes I think Fish-face did me a favor. Now when your angry I can turn away from your 'yelling'."

Raph made a ugly hand gesture. Grace snorted, " yeah, yeah. Fuck you too!"

A/N: Raph's signs

Fish-face: Gesture to throat, make a fish motion

Leo: Mimes slashing the air, and points to his missing eye

Grace: Points to heart and makes the sign for mouse (rubs his nose back and forth)

That's all I have right now!
