"Woah!" He shouted in surprise.

Digital's eyes widened in surprise and she immediately took her blade away from his throat. She had never seen this strange boy before! "I'm sorry. I thought you may have been someone else." She apologized sheepishly.

"Who else would I be?" He asked, a small laugh evident in his voice.

Digital sheathed her katanas and hit the button on her watch, retracting her armor. "Long story short, my life has never been easy."

He smiled gently. Oh, that smile! It was so cute! Wait…did I say 'cute'?! Digital asked herself in disbelief. "Guess that makes two of us." He said softly.

Digital pushed her black rimmed glasses up the ridge of her nose. "What are you doing out here? And on a building roof, may I ask?"

He sighed and looked out over the city with his green eyes that were protected by his own blue glasses. He moved slightly closer to the edge of the roof. "I don't really have any other place to be." He said sadly.

Digital gave him a confused look as she moved closer to him. "What do you mean?"

The boy looked into Digital's blue orbs. "My parents never really had liked me. They worked with an organization that I had never really known about. All I had known was that they were so caught up in it that they never fed me, played with me, or anything that parents do," He sat on the edge of the building and he gently began to kick his legs. Digital found a spot right next to him. "When I was thirteen, two years ago, I followed my parents to the strange building they worked at."

It was a strange looking building. I knew it wasn't like any normal building. My parents input a strange code and a door slid open. The door was relatively slow as it closed, so I jumped in before it could fully close.

I followed in the shadows as they walked down a long, narrow hallway. It lead all the way down to a strange throne room. There sat a man in shiny steel armor with gauntlets on his hands. He was pretty terrifying. Half of his face was burnt. My parents knelt before him along with another couple. A woman with black hair and green eyes, and a man with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Has the boy found out yet?" The man had asked.

"No," My mother had answered, "he has no idea of our serving you or that you even exist."

"Good," The man had growled. "I need no children interfering with my plans. You know of this, Leona and Jonathan. Unfortunately, one of your children is still alive. And she could be our ticket to the turtles' lair."

"Master, you saw what happened. The turtles are no more." The girl I had guessed to be Leona said.

The man stood and walked to her. "I know what I've seen. But I know that they are still living. I know all of them are still living. Even that hideous mutant rat that was once my brother. We must find them, and we must kill them."

"What do we do about our son?" My father asked.

The man's eyes narrowed. "As long as he doesn't interfere, you may do what you please with him. I've met your son, even though I was a different identity when I did. His heart is too pure. He couldn't kill even the evilest heart. I'd offer him to join, but he'd deny and get help as soon as he could. You can raise him in oblivion, you can set him up for adoption, or the easier solution," The man turned away from his ninjas, his eyes staying narrowed, "kill him."

I gasped and immediately regretted it. All five people looked around in the shadows. "Master Shredder, did you hear that?" My mother asked.

He nodded once. "Someone's here," He looked around the room. "Show yourself!"

I was scared. This Shredder guy told my parents to kill me, raise me in oblivion, to set me up for adoption. I didn't like him. I don't think really anyone did. Well, except for the goons there. Suddenly, I felt two sets of arms grab me under my arms. I kicked, I shouted, I screamed for whoever held me to let go.

They didn't.

I hadn't expected them to either.

And as my features were revealed out of the shadows, I heard my parents gasp. The anger they held in their eyes was one I had never seen before. I had seen anger in their eyes before, anger at me, anger at my existence, but this was something more. Something that I can't place my finger on.

"Kill him!" Shredder bellowed. And just as he did my parents and the other couple ran up to me. I looked around the room to see how I could escape. I noticed that my captivators were robots. I kicked their legs just powerful enough to break them off of their abdomen. I began to run. I ran as fast as I possibly could. And somehow I escaped.

Digital sat there speechless. I thought Shredder was dead! This boy was in danger! If Shredder found him, he could be killed! And the other couple…those were the descriptions of her parents! "Uh, that other couple you saw, I think those are my biological parents."

He looked at Digital with a confused look. "Did they set you up for adoption?"

Digital sighed as she moved a piece of her black hair out of her face. "No. They were going to kill me. For some reason, though, they didn't. They shot my brother, and he's, well, he's gone now."

The boy had an apologetic look on his face as he placed his hand on top of Digital's. "I'm sorry."

Digital's eyes snapped up and looked into the boy's green eyes. Her eyes took in every single detail of him. His beautiful, short, brown, hair. His emerald, green, glistening, eyes. His pearly, white, teeth. His white skin. The dark, pink color of his lips. "It's ok."

He smiled gently as their faces became just inches away from each other's. "I never did ask your name."

Digital smiled back gently. "Digital, but you can call me Digi."

The boy smiled. "People call me Coda."

Digital smiled at the boy's name, but remembered the threat he was in, and her smile faltered. "Coda, your life is in danger. If Shredder finds you, you'll die for sure. Even my uncle Leo couldn't take him down, and he's the most skilled fighter in the family."

Coda sighed and gently moved away from Digital's face. "I've hidden from him for two years now. So what's a little longer?"

"He's nothing like you've ever seen before. He'll kill you, Coda. He's one of the most skilled fighters out there. He fights without honor. He's cunning, and ruthless."

"Digital," He said calmly, "I'll be fine," His face the turned to one of confusion. "Why do you care so much anyways?"

Digital began to blush wildly, her pupils seeming to shrink in size. "I….I…..I don't care. I-I just…"

Coda smiled gently. "Don't worry. I like you, too. You're cute. And, unlike most New York girls, you actually bother to listen to me," Coda took Digital's cell phone and inserted a few digits. "Call me some time. Maybe we can hang out. Or something."

Digital blushed but had a wide, but gentle smile on her face. "Sure."

Coda laughed lightly. "What time and place is good for you?"

Digital thought about it. Wait. Could she even do this? Without revealing her family? Maybe. It was worth a shot. "How about tomorrow at ten? I don't know where though. My lifestyle doesn't allow me to get out much."

Coda smile gently. "Well, how about I take you to a nice dinner, and then we go see the sights of New York?"

Digital smiled. Seeing the sights of New York? On the ground? Not the rooftops? It almost felt like a dream. And to go with such a cute guy. "Sure. That sounds nice."

Digital took Coda's phone and entered her number in as well. "Wanna call me when you get home?"

Digital thought about it. Would her father get suspicious? Would he try to kick Coda out of Digital's life? Especially since the Shredder was after him? She shook her head. "It probably wouldn't be a good idea. I don't think my father would be ok with this. I've…uh…never been out for a date before, and uh…there are other reasons to why he wouldn't. But text me later?"

Coda smiled once more after his previous one had fallen. "Yeah, I'll text you later."

Digital smiled as they both stood up. "I'll text you faster than the speed of light against the speed of sound. Considering light waves travel faster than sound waves due to the sound waves having to have their vibrations reach our ears and the vibrations vibrate our…" Digital stopped and looked away from Coda. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ramble on like that. I don't expect you to follow what I had been saying."

Coda took Digital by the hands, and Digital directed her blue orbs to Coda's orbs of green. "The vibrations have to vibrate the cilia that can send messages to our brain and eardrums."

Digital stared at Coda in awe. "You understood my nerd talk?"

Coda laughed gently. "You're not the only one who likes science y'know."

Digital could practically feel her heart melt as she fell into Coda's sweet embrace. She wanted to stay in his arms all night. But she knew good things couldn't last forever. She just hoped things would be different for them if they had any sort of future together.
