UPDATE! GRAMMAR FIX!

Here it is! My first TMNT Fanfic. In this fanfic, one of the Turtles is a Tiger (Which I'm pretty sure you guys would easily guess from the title. LOL.). I had this idea for a while now just because Tiger Claw is my fave villain. This is roughly based on 2k12 series and naturally, this is AU.

In a cold winter night, Tiger Claw, a tiger-mutant assassin are running and jumping across the rooftops. In his hand, is a little cub sleeping soundly, snuggling to his chest in a search of warmth.

"THERE THEY ARE! GET THEM!" a sound from afar could be heard easily in the quiet of the night.

For the time being, he's not the hunter. Right now, he and his cub are the hunted. 'Even Shredder isn't this evil.' He thought to himself.

He needed a safe place for his cub. While the Foot clan wasn't the best place to raise someone, it's still better than being raised on a government military base and being experimented on for his whole life. That is, if he could make his way there. His jet-pack had taken some damage earlier so he couldn't just fly to safety. Suddenly, two man in black suits, whom he easily registered as government agents blocked his way with their weapon at ready. Using only his left arm to support the cub, his right hand reach for the gun on his belt and just in the matter of seconds, the two agents fell to the ground. As if on cue, a helicopter, and a large one at that, came from behind them making Tiger Claw turn around.

A man in black suit with black glasses covering his eyes is standing on the helicopter door. "Give up Tiger Claw. Why don't you just come with us peacefully and no one will get hurt." The man offered.

His blood now boils with anger. "No one will get hurt? What, do you think I'm an idiot? The only reason you want me and my cub is to experiment on us and you're saying no one will get HURT?" Tiger Claw snapped at the man and then pulled a smoke bomb from his belt and threw it at the ground he's standing on. When the smoke is cleared, both of them are gone.

"Find them! They are not far away!" The man ordered.

Right now, Tiger Claw and his cub are hiding in the only place he could think of to buy some time. The sewers. He was thinking about finding someone who could take care of his son, but unfortunately his associates are all too far away, and so is the Foot HQ. Even if they are close, his friends are either assassins like him or someone from the black market. Both are one of the last choices for babysitting. He's running out of both choice and time. He was lost in thought that he didn't notice his cub was shivering until he sees it himself. Of course, the sewers are freezing especially on winter night.

He opened his bag and took out a blue scarf. It's a little bigger than the one he's wearing and also longer with his son's name was written on the corner. He used it to protect his cub from the cold. For someone like him, it's not actually cold but his newborn cub wasn't as strong as he is. With that done, his son stopped shivering and opened his blue eyes. His eyes are sharp and strong but also innocent and caring. He kissed his son's forehead as the cub drifted back to sleep, not caring about the world around him.

A sound snapped him out of his thought. He almost panicked when he could smell a human entered the sewer. He had been discovered that fast? But, there's something about the human that's rather calming. Curious, he went to the direction of the sound but he's still hidden within the shadows. One could never be too careful. He found a human (A/N : In this story, Splinter's mutation are slower than the others that it took about 3 days for him to completely mutated) wearing Japanese clothes and well, he looked japanese, along with three baby humanoid turtles inside a box he's carrying. 'Wait a minute. Humanoid turtles? More mutants it seems.' He thought.

"Do not worry little ones, I will raise all of you as my own children." The man said which startled Tiger Claw.

'So that's the reason. This human has a very calming and caring aura'.

"Wait here, I will find some food for all of you." The man continued before leaving and run fast, not wanting to leave his new sons for too long. The way this man run is very similar to how ninjas are, not to mention he produced almost no sound that even the tiger's enhanced hearing couldn't catch it.

Tiger Claw finally decided. His son would be much safer with that man. He went to where the man left the turtles and placed his son beside the box. He kissed the cub's forehead once more but it was a bad idea. The cub woke up making it harder for the tiger to leave him. He couldn't hold back his tears as he gazed at his son's sad and confused eyes. He is now wondering how come the feeling of protection he felt before is now fading. However, Tiger Claw had to leave his son for any of them to get any chance of survival and so, he left without looking back so he wouldn't break himself. Now, he has to distract the government agents to go as far away as possible from that place to ensure his son's safety.

When his father left, the cub fell asleep.

Splinter's P.o.V

I was running back to the sewers with some food I managed to scavenge. Going back to where I left my sons, I found that there are no longer three mutants waiting for me, but four. The new mutant is a humanoid tiger mutant, wrapped in blue cloth. I glanced around to see if the person who left him was still close, but I couldn't feel any presence around me. Putting down the food I brought back, I lifted the sleeping tiger cub to my chest. On the cloth, there is something written on it and I decided to use it as my new son's name.

"I will protect you and your brothers, Leonardo."

Finished the prologue. Yay. Its short but the next chapter would be longer. It is still a prologue after all.
