TMNT: (I am not the creator of the TMNT nor do I own any of them, I am just a Fan of them that decided to make a fanfic base off of them.
It was now the last day of School in the middle of June and Summer was now here, Ruby made her way down the school hall as she waved and hugged her friends goodbye, knowing that this was probably going to be the last time she saw them, her grandmother waited for her as she made her way into the parking lot of the school, her grandmother waved over at her as Ruby walked over and got into the car.
" Why do I have to go stay with my father?"
.her grandmother kept looking ahead as she drove to the O'Neil home to let Ruby pack up her things, the wrest of her things like her bed and dresser had been already sent to her fathers by plane, as she was getting ready to move to New York City after her mothers passing.
" Come on you will make new friends and besides your father has not seen you in years, and your grandfather and I ant getting any younger , you being as young as you are, we have a hard time keeping up with you".
Ruby gazed out the passenger window as she folded her arms not bothering to look at her Grandmother.
"This bites"
.As They pull up into the driveway, Ruby got out and ran up stairs to pack up the rest of her things, she had to ketch her flight tonight, this being the first time that Ruby would be away from home and a new place sounded a bit scary to her but some reason it also felt exiting, not knowing what New York had in store for her. After about 2 Hours her grandmother Called up to her, as she looked down at her watch to see that they only had a half hour to get to the plane station, soon Ruby came running down stairs with a bag over her shoulder.
"What took you so long?.." all the wrest of your belongings are already at your fathers?"
Ruby Stopped in front of her grandmother as she looked to her and her eyes widen at seeing what she was wearing, a gray hat and a top to match, both with a skeleton on the front of them, her top was only covering her front and only had a strap that went to the top part of her back to hold her top in place, and a pair of black Jeans that had holes on the knees.
"What in gods sake are you wearing child?"
Ruby looked down at her self then up at her grandmother as she smirked a little moving some of her ruby red hair out of her emerald colored eyes.
"Its what all teenage girls my age have been wearing grandma"
Her grandmother just shook her head and motion Ruby to get into the car. About 20 minuets latter they arrived at the plane station, Ruby's grandmother jumped out of her car with Ruby not too far behind, as they made there way into the plane station, right before Ruby moved to go through the hallway that led onto the plane, her grandmother gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek telling her good luck and to be careful, Ruby then turned around and handed her ticket over to the ticket collector, she then walked onto the plane not looking back at her grandmother as she waved to her, soon Ruby found her seat and settled right into it, soon about 30 minuets she could hear the Pilate over the intercom.
"Thank you passengers for choosing our air line, we will be leveling Tokyo Japan in less then 10 minutes and will be arriving in New York City in 18 hours, please wear your seat belts and have a nice flight and sleep well"
Ruby gazed out the window sadly as she wrests her head agents it, knowing that she was going to miss her home, it being the only place she ever noun , she had heard a lot about New York, about the crime waves and how filthy it was, soon after Ruby was deep in thinking she had fallen asleep, not know teasing that the plane had taken off and was now up in the air. After being deep in her nights wrest, she had woken up from hearing the Pilate over the intercom once again, she looked up over at one of the near by speakers.
"Thank you passengers for choosing our air line, we will be landing in New York City's Plane Station in 20 minutes , please keep your seat belts on Intel the plane as come to a complete stop, the plane will also be leaving again at 7am, thank you and have a nice day. (So you know the Pilate is speaking in Japanese, I don't know Japanese very well so I had to put it in English also for others that don't know English to read
Ruby looked down at her watch, it was 5am and her father was going to arrive at 5:30 to pick her up at the station, about after 10 minuets went by the plane had landed and stopped in front of the station, Ruby got up from her seat and grabbed her bag that had been wresting on the side where the window was, soon latter she was off looking around the station, as she looked over and saw her father waiting for her, she walked up to him, as he smiled to her, he grabbed her bag from her shoulder, Ruby yet not smiling fallowed him, her and her father was never really close she had been living with out him for the pass 11 years, so she knew that it was going to be a little tuff for her here, when they made it to the parking lot, Her Father had pulled out a set of car keys and pushed a button to turn off the alarm, he had a 2006 Blue Firebird, she gazed over at the car in amazement.
"Nice ride, how are you able to afford such a car?"
Her father handed back her bag as they got into the car, he then drove off torts, his Apartment.
"I work hard to earn it, also if your going to live with me, your going to have to make sure the Apartment is clean before I get off of work and knowing your mother was a good cook I'm sure you wont have problem cooking dinner every night"
Ruby looked over at him for a minute knowing where this was leading, now understanding why her mother and him divorced, her mother had told her that he was a controlling man, and left the cooking and cleaning to her, while he worked long hours at his office, Ruby had a feeling that he was going to treat her the same way he did with her mother, and knowing Ruby being half American made her a little more stubborn like her father.
"Yes I can cook"
Ruby looked out the car window as she didn't once look over at her father, about 30 minutes of driving, her father parked the car on the side of a side walk in front of a very large Apartment building, Ruby stepped out of the car and took a look around where she would be living for now on, grabbing her bag and put it onto her shoulder as she then fallowed her father into the Apartment, as they walked in, her father shut the door behind them and turned the light on, he then removed his coat, draping it over one of the dining room chairs as he then started to make his way down narrow hallway.
"Come I will show you, your room"
Ruby did as he said and fallowed him, he opened the door to the room, she found her bed in the center of the room and made, with her dresser on the left corner of the room, her cloths were already hung up in the closet, she walked in and dropped her bag onto the edge of the bed, before taking more of a look around her new room, the walls were just a simple white color wall paper, and the carpet was a light blue, she looked over at the window as she walked over and moved the blue cartons that matched the carpet aside to look out, all she could see was the wall to the next apartment over and a alleyway that went to the next street over and the main street to the front of the Apartments, her father walked over next to her and gazed down at her.
"Sorry its not much but you will get us to it, I'll levee you alone now so you can check your room out and maybe get some more wrest, I doubt that Plane ride was easy to fall asleep on"
"Yea thanks"
Ruby then went and laid on her bed as her father left the room and shut the door behind him, when he left Ruby sat up on her bed and grabbed her bag opening it up, as she took a picture of her and her mother out first and sat it on her dresser, then she grabbed a book and started to read it, about a hour latter she felt a bit tired and put the book down on her dresser before then laying down to fall asleep. She then woke up after the day went by, when her father had knocked on the door and peaked in, Ruby looked up and over at him as she had her hands wresting behind her head.
"Hey I just wanted to tell you that I'm heading into work a bit early its 8pm, and I probably wont be home Intel morning, there is Frozen Pizza or TV Dinners in the Freezer if you get hungry"
"You mean I have to spend the night here by my self?
Ruby really didn't like the sound of that, seeing how her father was us to living alone it of course would not bother him any.
"Yes I'm sorry but I really don't have a choice, we have a big Case that we have been working on for a year, I will also levee my cell number if you kneed to call me as well as my office number, just what ever you do don't levee the Apartment, you never now what thugs around here will do to a teenage girl walking alone at night"
Ruby rolled her eyes, as her father shut the door again, she then got up from her bed after she heard the front door to the Apartment open and close, she watched as her dad got into his car and drove off, Ruby then walked out of her bedroom and took a look around the place, it was not very big seeing that it was made for only 2 people, she went into the kitchen and looked into the fridge, not finding much, then opened up the freezer, she then sighed not being very hungry she figured that her stomach was a little upset from moving from a home she knew her hole life to a home she didn't know at all, she then walked into the living room and sighed only to find no television, she figured that he worked so hard and was probably not home much, she then looked to the front door being quarries as she is, Ruby went over and opened it up, and walked down the front steps onto the side walk, not seeing anyone around, her father had told her not to leave but she was getting bored and decided to do a little sight seeing, Ruby made her way down the side walk and soul a Taxi, she waved her hands as the Taxi pulled up next to her and she hoped in, they had Taxi's also in Japan but were white instead of Yellow, She told the Taxi to take her to a hang out where there would be games and some shopping centers that would be open for a while longer, he nodded his head as he took her where she wanted to be, about 30 minutes later, the Taxi had stopped near a side walk and a busy street, there was a lot of people walking around still at this hour, she got out handing the taxi driver what she owed him for the ride, then stepped onto the side walk and watched as he drove off, she then walked and took a look around finding the game place not too far ahead, she walked in and went around to play some, after a couple hours went by she watched as people started to leave and a guy come out and started to sweep the floor, she figured that it was about to close, she then stepped out onto the street and took a look around, she held her jacket close around her as a strange man that was driest in raggedy closed had walked by her not feeling as he took her wallet from her pocket, she turned around as he walked off sticking the wallet into his jacket, she blinked some arching a brow, soon she found a taxi and hopped in, telling him where to take her, about 10 minutes of driving, she started to check her pockets not finding her wallet, she then looked up at the Taxi driver.
"Um can you do iou's right?"
The Taxi driver looked into his rear view mirror and looked back at her.
"Sorry no only cash, why?"
"Well it seems that I dropped my wallet off some where and now I don't have any cash on me"
The Driver to the Taxi then pooled over and stopped on the side of the road.
"No money no ride now get out"
Her eyes widen as she looked around seeing that they were in the middle of no where 10 minutes out of the city but they were a half hour drive back to her apartments, and if she had to walk it would take her a hour to get back home.
"What you cant just drop me off in the middle of no where its late and I kneed to get home"
"I don't care, all I care about is money so now get out of my taxi before I throw you out"
Ruby got out and slammed the back door to the taxi as she did the driver drove off leaving her by her self out in the country, she sighed as she started walking, about 15 minutes into her walking, she looked over the side of the road seeing nothing but a beach and the ocean, she stopped as soon latter she could hear the sound of heavy crates and some men talking, she then wondered if maybe one of them might have a car and would some how take her back home, she went over to what seem to be a old ware house and looked in through a window, she duck to see 3 men talking back and forth to one another they seem to be in there late 30's.
"Hey don't drop any you dumb ass"
"Sorry boss, hey Mark I thought you fixed this dumb thing"
"I did, you just don't know how to work it"
She watched as the 3 men argued with one another, the one named Mark started to lift a wooded crate and was stacking them into a bigger looking crate, she blinked not saying anything as the crate that was being lifted soon fell from what appeared to be a fork, as it fell to the cement like floor, a lot of what appeared to be pot in dozens of little bags, her eyes widen as she then grabbed her nose smelling the drug as the fragrance spread around the ware house, she then knew right away what was going on.
"This must be where the drug dealers, my father has been trying to find for a year have been hiding, I got to tell him"
Ruby thought in her head, she started to slowly back away from the window only to step on a branch, letting out a loud cracking sound, soon all 3 men looked up and saw her as she ran away from the ware house.
"Damn it Mark, now go get her!"
"Sorry Mr. Peterson right away"
Ruby ran up the hill and out onto the road not sure where or which way to run, knowing that the men would be short on her trail she then took off running down away she didn't have time to choose all she thought was on how to get away.
"Good thing I took up cross country running or I would get tired soon"
She said out loud to her self as she kept on running, soon she was half way into the city, but there was no one around, she found a old dark alleyway, she took off down it only to find her self at a dead end.
"Shit!
Ruby turned around only to find the two men starring her down , she backed up from them as she glared.
"What all did you see little girl?
She glared over at the one named Mark as he pulled out a knife, her eyes widen as she looked up at him.
"A lot my father is a noun Police around New York and I'm going to tell him"
Ruby then tried to run pass them only to be kicked in the stomach by the other man, she fell to the ground grabbing at her stomach, Mark then walked over to her and put his foot on her head pushing her face into the dirty ground.
"Heh not if your dead"
Ruby closed her eyes tight knowing that this was probably going to be the last time she breathed, but then she felt the weight of his foot leave her head, and then she heard a loud crashing sound and then a voice yet that didn't sound like either of the thugs, the voice had a Brooklyn yet deep like accident.
"Man you know its not really nice to pick on a girl, 2 men and a girl does not really seem fare, so I think I will teach you punks a lesson!"
She could then hear the men screaming, she looked up only to see 1 man run off and another being thrown into the right building down the alleyway.
"Heh you better run you chicken shit!"
Ruby could not see much in the alley, a street light that hung over was flickering some but was lighting up only half of the alley, she gazed over hearing the one that just saved her breathing in the dark she could see his warm breath as it floated into the dim light.
"W..who are you?"
Ruby said with a trembling voice, as she could make out a shadow but that was pretty much it, she then stood up and dust her self off, holding her stomach with her other hand.
"Heh lets just say that I'm one that is trying to clean up this shit hole town, and at the same time a stranger that you really don't want to know about"
Ruby walked near him but when she did he took a step back, she couldn't under stand why he wouldn't step out into the light, she arched a brow trying to get a good look at him, she was able to make out what appeared to be a red peace of fabric and something that had the color green on it that she couldn't make out.
"Well watch your back next time, get your self home before you get into any more trouble"
Ruby stopped as she looked down sadly, after running from the thugs she was now lost and it was dark out not sure if she could find her way home, she also had lost her wallet making it even harder for her to get a taxi.
"W..well you see I'm new here and I..I don't really know where my Apartment is, I was on my way home when I was being chased "
She didn't explain the hole story to him why she was being chased in the first place, she didn't know him at all and was not sure if he could also be part of the Drug Dealing. He soon stopped walking and gazed over from in the dark torts her with his light brown eyes that shined through the dark.
"Well welcome to New York, I would like to help you but there's other problems I have of my own, and once you see me I doubt you will want help from me after words"
She really didn't know what to do, she just was scared of being left alone again, she looked around some before then watching him start to walk off again she felt her eyes starting to tear up as she shivered some.
He stopped walking once again as he could make out her quit sobs, he sighed a little to him self and then turned all the way around to look at her.
"Ohh fine but if I show my self to you, do you promise not to scream, I get that a lot and its kind of a pain in the ass."
Ruby whipped her eyes before nodding her head, she wondered to her self why this man was so worried , she figured that he didn't want her to see him because he was either another homeless guy and didn't want her to see him covered in dirt, or he just didn't like being seen. He then slowly stepped out of the dark and into the streets flickering lights, Ruby's Eyes went wide as she yet didn't scream but looked at him more shocked then scared, he was all green, and had what appeared to be a turtle like shell on his back, he had yet no nose nor ears or hair for that matter, a red like mask covered the top part of his face, and two holes were cut out for his eyes, she gazed over him a while before he then spoke up snapping her out of her stare.
"The Names Raphael"
Ruby then scratched the back of her head, she was not really surprised, she now remembers reading about something in the newspaper a while back about green looking men being seen in New York, but she never took it seriously, she figured it was just a story that the New Yorkers told to give new people a thrill or something to think about.
"I'm Ruby"..
He then stuck his hand out to shake hers, she looked down at his hand seeing that he only had 3 fingers, she then slowly took his hand shaking it, she could feel his cold hand in hers knowing now that what he was, was true and was not some costume he was wearing, after a couple secants he let go of her hand and turned around and started to make his way out of the alley, he stopped and looked both ways to make sure there was no one around, Ruby then fallowed him as they come over to a Red looking Motor Cycle, he then leaned it away from the building and got on it, he then turned around to look over at her.
"Well you going to get on?. wait you look pretty cold there babe"
Raphael got into a glove looking apartment and pulled out a big leather jacket, as Ruby walked up to the Motor Cycle to get on he placed the jacket over her, even though she was already wearing a coat it just didn't seem warm enough because she was still shivering, thinking to her self that she regrets wearing the top she had on underneath, he then put a helmet on, before then grabbing another that was on the back of the motor cycle and handing it up to her, she took it and put it on before then hopping onto the back of the motor cycle, she held onto the edges of his shell before he then took off driving down the road .
