Hey everyone here's ch. 2 of my TMNT story I hope you like it. I apologize that this took too long I'm running way behind on all my fics, but I'm trying to find some inspiration to get me going. I'm so glad you're still here and enjoy this chapter.
Warning: There is cursing in this chapter and maybe future chapters as well.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own TMNT, but if I did this story would be a lot better on tv or a movie.
I kept the window open for the four turtles and their friend as they entered my apartment.
"Sorry for the mess...um...You can lay him down in my room it's in the back. Follow me" I rush down the hall ahead of them to open the door and straighten out the room a little so I wouldn't look like such a pig.
It wasn't that bad, but it would cause my older sister to smack me on the back of the head and call me a pack rat. Subconsciously I rubbed the back of my head as if she was here giving me one of her many lectures. When they entered through the wooden door I motioned them to the bed and lifted the sheets for them to place Raph underneath. Once he was under the covers and I shut the window blinds I left for the living room to give them privacy. I made sure every window in the house was locked and curtains prevented anyone from looking in. It's been years since I've felt this unsettled; I started to shack and I was on defensive mode. I stood in the living room ready for anything. THOSE BASTARDS BETTER NOT DARE SHOW THEIR FACES TO ME.
*Calm down. Nothing has happened and you need your head clear just in case something does.* I thought to myself as I attempted to lower my heart rate.
I sat down on the couch criss-cross apple sauce and closed my eyes. I steadied my breathing -In and out- and listened to my surroundings.
(The wood floors creaked)
My eyes shot open and I looked straight at the turtles and the guy as they exit the hall. They were on edge too and refused to let their guard down.
*Smart guys, but I'm not the one you should me on edge about* A spark of anger started to form as my thoughts wondered *Come on, really? Freakin' calm the hell down*
"How is he doing?" I have to find a way for them to trust me. At least we're at a great start I mean they did agree to come into my apartment after all.
"He's fine, but he won't be awake for a while" The turtle with the purple bandana answered not knowing where to place his hands as he folded and unfolded his arms, "We'll leave once we're sure the coast is clear"
"You can stay here as long as you need to, or at least until he wakes up. That way the Foot has plenty of time to give up *stupid wannabes* and he could recover better with no further damage. I MEAN...um" Way to go you idiot! You probably stabbed them with your poor choice of words, "I just want to make sure you all make it home safely, so you can make yourself at home"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss..."
"Oh sorry the name's Rachel or Rach for short. You don't have to call me Miss"
"Thank you Rachel. I'm Leonardo, these are my brothers and close friend" The turtle formed a small -almost unnoticeable- smile. He cut off to let them introduce themselves.
"I'm Donatello and this is..."
"Michelangelo the Awesome" The turtles and the man rolled their eyes at him. I couldn't help but smile at his silliness.
"And I'm Casey Jones" The guy extended his hand out to shake mine, which I gladly took. I turned to lean over the back of the couch, so I could look at them without hurting my neck.
"Nice to meet you all...Even though I wish it was under different circumstances" they smiled to show that they agreed. I heard the sound of footstep pattering on the roof and my smile disappeared instantly. I motioned them to get low as I quickly turned off the lamp by the couch than crept to the window. The pattering stopped a few seconds later, but I stayed silent till I was sure they left.
"We're clear" I announced as I stood up to turn on the light, "Sorry about that. I should have heard them coming ahead of time. Oh Casey here's your bat back" I lifted my hand up to show his 2011 DeMarini WTDXVDL 11 voodoo black baseball bat and tossed it to him. He stumbled with it before he got a good grip on it.
"Whoa dude, how did you do that?" Michelangelo excitedly asked.
"Yeah how did you do that? I don't want to seem rude after you so kindly helped us, but I think we deserve some sort of explanation" They all looked at me in curiosity and Michelangelo seemed to be the only one that didn't care how I did it just the fact that I was able to do it *If that makes sense*
"You're right…um how do I word this" I tapped my chin with my index finger as I thought. I was worried to tell them. I mean I just met them and you don't hear me asking for their autobiography.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked something so personal" Leonardo apologized
*You stupid hot-head you're probably scowling at the wall and scared him into thinking I was going to flip out* NowI feel guilty for being such a jerk toward them.
"It's fine. I learned Martial Arts with my three sisters up till a few years back. Now I just sit around bored out of my mind. I haven't had to use my skills in a while though" I said with a smile, "Hey if you guys are hungry I could order some Chinese, pizza, or something"
Michelangelo and Donatello's eyes widen with excitement and started to jump, "Leo come on please I'm starving for some pizza?" Michelangelo asked eagerly. Leo nodded to his brother and looked at me sympathetically.
*What did you just get yourself into?*
"You remind me too much of my younger sister, Michelangelo" I smiled at the thought of both Maria and Michelangelo jumping up and down like energetic puppies at the mention of pizza.
"You can call me Mikey and how do I remind you of her?" He asked looking confuse
Before I had a chance to answer I heard Donatello laughing his ass off, "You remind her of a girl. I always wondered what it would be like to have a sister"
Mikey scowled at his brother, which I quickly replied in his defense, "Hey I can just as easily turn you into a chick, Dona" This time Mikey was laughing. Looked at me in shock, but slowly Donatello formed a smile.
"Okay that was a good one" He crossed his arms and laughed. All the guys seem to be more relaxed now, but still had their guard up just in case.
"Thank you" I responded with a soft laugh making extra sure Raph wouldn't wake up. I doubt he'd be up soon, but I have to respect him enough to stay quiet. "Oh right! Mikey you remind me of my sister Maria because she's just as hyper as you are sometimes even worst"
"I can relate" Leonardo's voice come from the opposite side of the room, he was curiously looking around my apartment.
"I'm not that bad" Mikey crossed his arms in protest
*Oh yeah you are so is my sister if she was a boy. I guess that would make her my brother. Oh Rach back to reality*
"I'm going to order those pizzas, so I'll be in the kitchen. What do you guys want on your pizza?"
"Cheese would be fine, thank you" Leo turned from his curious search to give me a small grin.
Rach gave him a nod and disappeared through the swinging door into the kitchen area.
"Leo what are you looking for?" Casey asked, curious of why he was searching around the large book shelf close to the window.
"Nothing really…"
"What, you afraid she's a spy or worst an alien that escaped from area 51?" Mikey joked, making silly motions with his hands.
"I think that's just you, little bro" Donny patted his brother on his head. He looked up to see Leo stopped and was holding a picture in his hands, "Whatcha find, Leo?"
"A picture of Rachel and I think her sisters" He hands the picture out for Don to take.
The photo seemed to have been taken in Central park during summer time. The four girls stood on the ledge of a bridge by a tall cherry tree, making silly faces and poses. The tall lean girl on the left had medium length black hair was in a Charles' angel pose pointing an imaginary gun at the camera. Next to her was Rachel posing like a rock star with an electric guitar. The third girl with short black hair much like the first girl's standing on the ledge smiling big as she was being hugged tight by a fourth girl, who had her right arm around her sister and her light proudly flashing a peace sign.
"Okay the pizza should be here soon" I walked back into the living room to see all four guys looking at a picture I was sure I had on the shelf, "I see your curious selves, found something entertaining"
"I'm sorry again I'm being really rude" Leo took the picture back from Don and quickly put it back.
"No it's find" I rush to pick the picture back up and took it out of the frame, "Those goofs are my sisters. We stood from oldest to youngest, so the on the far left is Leila, me, Daniela, and Maria. We were just being silly and wanted to have a good laugh every time we saw this photo"
"Funny" Leo chuckled
"Guys we need to take bro-pics" Mikey busted out receiving looks from his brothers that changed his mind "Or not"
TA DA! I know it wasn't that long, but it was all I could finish on my busy schedule and lack of motivation. Sorry. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the next chapter should be coming. I love you reader! Till next time :)
