Chapter two:

A new home

I wasn't sure if it was fear or my racer's instinct kicking into overdrive the only thing I actually do remember is my foot tapping on the clutch and shifting into a higher gear taking off ahead of Braxton feeling Raphael's arms tighten around my waist to the point I thought I felt a few of my ribs crack. Braxton and the guys looking a bit confused, "Does she always do this?" Donatello ask, Braxton thought about it before answering,

"only if something has gotten her nervous" Braxton finally answers keeping up with me, "Then something's go her spooked" Mikey grinned, "Its that big green thing on the back of her bike." Leo saw the sports bike race past keeping up with me cutting in front of Braxton who hits the brakes jerking them forward against their seatbelts. Leo catching a glimpse of the markings on the bike,

"hey Braxton is there any alternative routes that Ava can take home because I'm not getting a good feeling about that rider." Braxton thought aout it for a few minutes and remembered there was a back street to my block which he and I used to take when we were in high school to ditch the cops after a street race got broken up,

"Actually there is why?" Leo sat back in the seat thinking to himself his two siblings in the back seat, " There's something not right about this." Donnie and Mikey exchanged looks then look too their eldest sibling, "You think someone's stalking her?" Donnie asked, "Like some crazed psycho fan."

Braxton shrugs thinking about it staying a few feet back from the bike, "as much as I hate to say it there has been a few issues on the track with her former teammate…so I wouldn't at all be surprised if its one of his little minions althought I think they wouldn't even be this stupid." Braxton re thought his statement, "Then again maybe he might be, anyway there's a Bluetooth head set in the glove box AJ's got a radio inside her helmet which is constantly connected to the earpiece." Leo opened the glove box andreaches in grabbing the headset placing it on his head,

"raph tell Ava she might want to change routes back to her place "Raph relayed the message to me as I quickly shifted gears the Forerunner keeping pace with me as we lost the mystery rider, "fan of yours?" Raphael asked his gruff voice muffled by the helmet. I shook my head, "nope." The last street I followed took me to a two sotry modern style house the garage built into the raised foundation stairs leading to the front door.

I reached for the button to open the garage on my handlebars when it opened automatically leaving the everyone minus me confused a gentlemen standing about 6'6" muscular, tan shoulder length black hair that was wet from a shower wearing a pair of jeans a workout tee shirt and work boots leaning against the nose of an all black lifted Rock Warrior Toyota Tundra four by four truck giving me a smug look looking past me to see Raphael climb off the back of the bike when Braxton pulls into the driveway.

Raphael pulls off the helmet Leonardo, Donatello and Michealangelo climbing out of the SUV as the man chuckles,

"And exactly what are you laughing at?" Raphael snaps at him the man continued to laugh,

"I'll let you know when I figure it out brotha,"

Raphael growls, "Yanno for someone I just met I already don't like you." The man shrugs shaking his head chuckling, "Not a total loss, wasn't plan on adding you too the Christmas card list anyways,"

Raphael grits his teeth reaching for his twin sai getting into the man's face just as his brothers caught him and I stepped between the two, " He's purposely trying to grate on your nerves, which is a very irritating talent of his." I said Leo and Donnie Holding a now fuming Raphael, "Down boy remember we're not in New York anymore." Donatello reminded his older brother, the man shrugs, " New York that pretty much explains a lot."

He turns his attention to me, " Where do you find these people little one?" the guys look over at me confused, " Little one?" Leo asked I smile shyly punching the man in the arm, " it's his petname for me." I turn my attention back, " and to answer your question Uncle Nolan they sort of found me."

Nolan just shrugs heading back through the garage and up a flight of stairs at the back of the garage with me and the guys behind him, "did any of that seem a little off to you?"

Braxton asked as I look over at him,

"which part Raphael raging or the fact Nolan stood completely unfazed." Braxton shook his head, "not that, I mean the earthquake then the explosion." I Thought about it not quite sure what to think we entered the house from the back door entering into a wide open floor plan a patio overlooking the horizon. I introduce the guys to my uncle Nolan as Raph follows me noticing the two amber eyes staring back at him on my right shoulder,

"A…Ava" he stammered backing up a bit wide eyed, "your back is staring at me." I give him a strange look catching my reflection in the reflection in the sliding glass door, "oh that," I laugh studying the wolf tattoo the eyes almost appear to glow, " she's my elemental my family is Native American Seminole tribe." Raphael looks a bit interested studying me, " Elemental?" I just nod, " She represents all the elements. Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, light and darkness" I could tell he was a little confused but decided not to ask especially after the long day we had admiring the little detail he could see then his eyes falling on the scar that ran from my right shoulder down to around my wrist that looked as if it was from barbed wire. We followed the rest of the group up the stairs and into the house which was a modern style house with a Studio style look and feel the master bedroom overlooking the living room with a second floor patio the extra rooms just below the master bedroom leading into the living room area.

Donatello and Michealangelo got themselves comfortable on the leather couch reaching for the controllers for the Xbox one while Leonardo sat at the kitchen table along with Braxton and Nolan. Raphael was the only one still standing looking around the living room seeing a photo of three little girls smiling for the camera he picked up the picture studying it as I stood behind him,

" My sisters and I when we were little" He jumps a bit and turns to see me standing there almost ready to cry, "What happened to them?" I sniffle a bit and sigh,

" TaLana died shortly after that picture was taken what we don't know what from. As far as Solara goes she just up and vanished." Raphael looks at me curiously, " didn't you ever bother to search for her?" I shook my head,

"honestly, I wouldn't know where to start looking, but I have thought about it the only thing I have of those two is this.." I show him a crystal heart shaped charm that I wore on a chain around my neck our intials laser etched in the crystal.

"We each have one we called them our sibling magic charms" I smile a bit at the memory Raphael shakes his head, "sorry to hear that." He apologized I just give a sad smile,

"don't be it's a little bit of my family history." Raphael nods, "what about Mr. "Smart ass" over there?" I laugh, "oh my uncle Nolan, he's harmless but very much a wise ass." Raphael makes a face, "yeah I noticed that much." I laughs brushing past Raphael as Nolan steps into the door between the patio and the living room with the cordless phone in hand, "who's hungry" everyone agreed as Nolan placed a pizza order.

-Meanwhile on the other side of town—

The sound of heavy blows landing on something solid echoed throughout an empty dojo a lone figure working over a punching bag that was hanging from the ceiling of the dojo. The figure to caught up in their workout to notice another prescense that was until a voice was heard, " Your form is way off Blade." The figure stops in mid strike turning to the person addressing them their voice cold and hard as steel,

"Forgive me for being a bit out of touch, Damien, running a company and meeting with shareholders kind of cut into my training time you know." Their back to the visitor ,

"that's not an excuse Lady Blade." Damien snapped showing his annoyance for her attitude Blade getting mad and stepping into the man's face wearing her workout outfit her black and deep purple streaked hair pulled back in a low ponytail as she stands face to face with Damien

"if you don't like how I run things then might I suggest that you seek employment else where."

Damien was about to reply when the door swung open causing the two to break the silent stand off the distraction gaining their attention as a young racer stumbles through the double doors falling to the floor at Blade and Damien's feet Blade's dark brown almost black cold as ice stare burning into the young man as he staggered to his feet.

"And what is the meaning of this intrusion?" the young man looks around the empty dojo then to Blade and Damien who both fold their arms across their chest waiting for an explaination of the trouble,

"We had a bit of a problem at the race track earlier.." He stammers watching Blade's features twist up in anger in one swift motion she had the young man pinned to the wall by his throat her temper starting to flare, "What kind of problem?" She growled her manicured nails biting into the flesh on the man's throat, "an unexplained explosion of some sort." He choked out looking scared Blade letting him dropping him to the ground coughing and gasping for air,

"We put good money into that track to have something out of the ordinary happen, now what you're going to do is find out exactly what that explosion was, understood?" the young man coughs again getting to his feet nods unaware that Blade grabbed a throwing knife off one of the nearby tables as he turn to exit out the door in one swift motion Blade launched the blade burying it in between the shoulder blades of the young man.

Blade turning on her toes leaving the young man laying and Damien abit impressed, "not bad, I stand corrected." He laughed hearing Blade growl " Don't patronize me Damien." She resumed her rtaining leaving Damien standing but smiling.

Kinda the more violent Karai if you think about it...but there's more to the story than even Lady Blade knows... and I think Nolan and raph might grate on each other's nerves..lol we'll just have to wait and see I guess... please tell me what you think of this chapter and the others:)
